Cheap and very nasty was what I thought of it. Preferred the bungalow.
I once patinated some garden ornaments with the unpasteurised yoghurt trick. It worked fine and quite quickly but it didn't last. Within a year all the growths had gone. If conditions aren't right they won't survive once they've 'eaten' the yoghurt.
What a mess it was, I quite liked the bungalow, but the heart and soul was ripped out of it and it ended up looking very odd stuck onto the rest of the cowshe.....er house.
I liked the look of the house but as usual my practicality steps into place. Imagine being the window cleaner, its not like they can afford one for a while anyway the way they were spending.
gARDEN looked lovely and the decking area. All that wind up their though howwwwl howwwl howwwwl. Also rats will get under that decking to live with the large holes under it.
Too practical for my own good.
My favourite one ever was that carpenter who lived in the forest. And made his house from trees and everything was eco friendly. Mmmm
I think it'd just be a bit creepy there with all that glass when it's dark.
LOL! That's exactly what I think every time I see these people building houses with acres of glass. No matter how lovely they are I just know I'd be a gibbering wreck if I had to go into the kitchen on my own
Does anyone know what happened to that monsterous house boat that was on this program once? It wasn't completed by the end of the program.
I seem to remember someone posted a link to a picture of it moored out in the middle of nowhere looking very dejected and abandoned - mind you, it did look pretty abandoned when the family were actually living in it.
So the daughter got the whole bungalow bit to herself? And the parents got the kitchen/living/entrance area and a pokey little bedroom at the top of the house?
She got a bit of a result there, didn't she?
I had a bit of a laugh at them banging on about how lovely the moss looked on the original roof, how it fit so beautifully with the landscape and how they wanted to replicate that on the bedroom walls only to then rip it off and whack on some chinese slate.
Did anyone else think the 'amazing veiw' from the tower just looked like a bunch of trees that they couldn't actually see over?
Well I liked it. I didn't think I would, but even without the "green" finish to the tower it looks fine. They talked a lot of nonsense about retaining the character of the bungalow (all 50 years of it) but I never thought that would work, unless they got mossy tiles for the rest of the roof.
Only last week I was advised by my builder not to go for a Chinese slate roof as there can be problems with it, apparently. Welsh slate is much more expensive, though.

AS THAT THE ONE ON A LAKE? If so the revisited series on More 4 has been back and they are living there. I think they ran out of money and couldn't furnish it properly. The whole time they built that all I thought was... imagine the damp problems they'll have

From someone who hasn't been to the IOW for a while ?
Simply horrible.

You'd think it was a syliloquy from Hamlet, he was delivering.

Why is it that the people with the most money always seem to have the least amount of taste???
They had personalised hard hats and made one for Kevin too!
Shame that the website they advertised on the back doesn't exist...Doh!
