How disapointing.

Only 18minutes left and theyve virtually re shown what was originally aired last year.

It would have being better if the first half was the recap and the second half where they show you it now its finished.

I hate seeing things twice!

I think they could've condensed the repeat part too, it would've been nice to see more of the finished article...stunning house though

One in Scoatland, a nutty couple into rock climbing, they did most of the work themselves! They knocked walls down with ladders n stuff!

Amazing physique that April has (well she is a national climbing champ). Ruben is a lucky man. Real characters both.

And what a final result with that interior.

175K total cost? Puts the rest to shame. An impressed:

I thought the inside was awlful. All that white was far to clinical. Oh and who in there right mind would put a bath right next to the bed?

THey have all started doing this re-visited shows and they are disapointing but i think its just another chance for those who never saw the original show.

It's still only a 1 bedroomed house! Bet it's worth a fortune though.

Health and Safety !
Unclebuck, you have to add in their labour costs as well, 2 people x 2 years = £big. £175k for a 1 bed house overlooked by tower blocks, no thanks.

****! Missed it.

Was that the one where they wanted to move a streetlight, so "just" dug it up, lowered it, undid the power cables, and moved it back out of the way? Although, to be fair, IIRC the guy was a sparky once?

Sod all this "ask the council" rubbish!

he did ask the council, well, he said "someone" from the council
Probably the local street cleaner

I too was dissapointed in the show this time round. Last time they did a revisted from the very first series, it was first half recap, second half look at it now. This seems to have been 90% old show first, then 10% look now.
Do like the presenters honesty though

just watched it on dvd.. (recorded )
I have that sort of enthusiasm and eye for perfection as Ruben, the only trouble with me is I WOULD probably have sold it for a pound about half way through

at Aprils physique also I'd Climb her wall.

Just the way I like to see it done, get stuck in and bugger the paperwork and red tape.

Andys,
Question for you!
Do you lock the bathroom door so your missus can't take a peek when you're in the bath??
The ****ter I can understand being hidden away, but what's wrong with an open plan bath? fecking nice modern idea that!

Andy
