    But it's all about the lighting, amdub.. (apparently)

    They spray painted the steel? Hardly the same as the first lump of rusty steel that was presented to us as the proposed centrepiece earlier in the program..

    If he ever came round to design something on the house for me, he be found buried under the patio (after he finished f**king up the design of the patio)..

    At least there's a bit of wall above most of the windows where you could hang blinds/curtains in this one

    Brilliant. I bet I can condense all those tips into one:


    1. Use as much glass as possible.

    Am waiting to hear what their budget is- and hoping that Dermot -for once- listens to somebody in this programme!

    What has 'what they can afford' got to do with it?
    It's about what they want to spend.

    Was wondering that.
    Am sure they could've saved some money by doing without that.

    Looks like the parents might have more of an input than they should, in design and features.

    They are great parents to shell out 120k to their daughter like that , . . Hope I can do same someday

    They got planning. That's why it took a few months to get started.

    If that budget includes the kitchen and decor, I don't think they're doing bad for €120k.

    money seems to be no object....surely it would have been a better idea to put the 100k plus into a new house altogether?

    Would they be allowed planning for anything different there though?
    It's a semi-d bungalow.

    It's the parents house, with their daughter and her husband to be living in it.
    Rent was mentioned at the beginning of the show?

    No grass in the courtyard in the end!
    I like the look of the house from the front.
    So all they got was 1 room, open plan kitchen, dining and living?
    I'm not impressed.

    Yet to be blown away by Dermot's work.

    They all look much the same,Flat roof extensions stuck on the rear or side with big windows and patio doors,the garden usually gets a make over or "becomes part of the house". The whole job goes over budget.
    Dermot ,the client,the qs and the builder usually have a fall out over some mistake dermot made.
