It’s the Tog Gear of house building. Both entertainment programmes

Except TG is pitiful now. If I had know that just inane shouting was entertainment, I would have carried on being a moronic teenager.

I never said it was any good 😂

Very serious question 😬  How long was it before you ( meaning fellow self builders) could bear to watch Grand Designs after your own self build.  We’re 99% of the way to completion but can’t even bear to see the programme pop up on our recommendations!

 

Therapy beckons……..

Funny that, I stopped watching about 1/2 way through our build. My wife immediately switches it off, not interested.

I do think the constant reassurance with virtually all of them being over-budget is helpful (usually at about 4am....)

Yes, we watch it almost for the 'at least we' re not alone' assurances as we progress our own build. 

 

Though I have to admit, I can only really watch it after a very large gin!! Some bits do hit too close to home....
