ProDave Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 Yes another hour of nothing. Not even poured any concrete yet. That will be the whole of the next episode. What's the betting the concrete lorry gets stuck in the mud? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell griffiths Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 So we eventually get to see some building work excellent choice of product to build with, even if I do say so myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 That's one massive area they have excavated around the area of the house. And it all suddenly seems to have dried up. I was looking forward to the concrete lorries getting bogged in the mud. And when they had that "bathroom in a trailer" for their trial glamping site, can someone explain to me where the contents of the flush toilet and the bath drained to? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitpipe Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Which brings me back to which property show is actually any good for the likes of us 'seasoned' self builders? Pre build, were fascinated by Grand Designs and glossy copies of Homebuilding magazine and trips to the NEC shows. Post build I struggle to watch any of them without shouting at the telly about airtightness, insulation and the like. The only shows I can vaguely tolerate are George Clarke (really his small homes series vs the current ugly nonsense) and Your Home Made Perfect with the VR headsets and the Belfast architect / new age shamen who is on a mission to introduce wall to wall benches in every house on the planet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shout when they go 300k over budget and act like it doesn’t matter even though the plan was to be mortgage free . Other shouty moments are when the client lets the architect run riot with their money . A eco green , curved , glass , no joint the same roof for 100k - or a ‘normal’ roof for 20k. Client needs to remind architect who’s piggy bank they are emptying . Edited December 10, 2020 by pocster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some chef's also think that Gordon Ramsay is a good bloke and has a great management style. I don't have a TV but sometimes catch glimpses of it at the end of the night.

ProDave Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 Well they have the floor down, and the first lot of ICF ready to pour, then COVID. It's really going to slow down now then? So I assume their build is not yet finished? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexphd1 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Ageee 100% with btpipe. Never missed a episode of grand designs or any other build program, had the magazine subscription even flew down to London for various shows before build started...... now they just annoy me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
