"Will there be a repeat"

If its half decent it will be repeated at least twice. And if its crap, at least 10 times

How did he get that through planning....
Did you notice the neighbours house up for sale during the project.

Horrible design/house
And the only bath is under the bed in the master bed room ??
Bathroom sink is a draw ???

such lovely houses either side, what a shame it was built

Hats off to the guy. OK, what he created wasn't to everyones taste, but that wasn't the point - he was building a home for himself and his family. Most people wouldn't have the guts to attempt to do what he did - he should get a lot of respect for that.

If you didn't see it, register for C4 4OD service - you can download and watch any C4 programme from the last 7 days for free.
