Room to Improve.

Why wouldn't you think you'd need rewiring in a 50 year old house?

This house is going to be beautiful

Atlantic Dawn

I would have thought it would have been rewired either way given the new layout and power demands.

Was that the last Late Late show? What did he speak about exactly? Was he at the beginning or at the end of the LLS? ( I would just like to know if it is worth trying to watch it on RTE player)

Was a couple of weeks ago...early on. It was just about planning for development so that it's integrated rather than just disparate developments in an area without any consideration for the community as a whole and the various functions.

Oh is this the famous wall

Whoever surveyed the house and decided the electrics were automatically upgraded at some stage needs a kick up the backside.

Doing a renovation like that it's a given that you just replace all plumbing, electrics and insulation. You also need a contingency for potential rotten wood.

Bad project planning.

Really enjoying this one.

Poor builder, he's been given bogey instructions.

You always go off the engineers drawing, never the architect. This has happened before with Dermot, i.e. little or no communication between him and the engineer.

Find it difficult to take him seriously after this

But surely Dermot should have to review and sign off Engineers drawings before they are in use. I'd kill Dermot

Love to be a fly on that wall, Darragh is very calm, Dermot should know better

I don't really see why it needs the concrete exposed wall, what does it bring? If they painted that section of wall the Aer Lingus colours it might be more fitting.

It seems a very random thing to have, I can't picture how it's going to work.

Find it strange your man is leaving his "new girlfriend" have so much input into this.

The wall reminds me of building a slatted tank for slurry.

honeybear

Upside down!

Atlantic Dawn

Jaysus for something he has put so much importance on he seems way to relaxed on what was supplied and instructed to the builder.

I like concrete in interiors.


I don't like this wall.

Crimsonforce

Was the budget 150k on this?

Samsgirl

Is he based in Dublin or Heathrow?

Atlantic Dawn

If the water ran down it permanently I would take 2.

Autosport

Maybe it's just me but I don't get the concrete wall

Lisha

It's like a ball wall that you see in gaa grounds! Rediculous in an interior setting.

Must be Heathrow, he did say he was off san diego, which AE don't fly to.

My cows have walls like that in their home.

If it was my house it would make me feel like living in a farm shed.

Atlantic Dawn

Had Dermot spent a weekend sleeping over in a multistory car park that got him the idea for the concrete wall?

Fine in a commercial/office/public building. Doesn't do it for me in a house. No insulation so essentially a kind of heat dump as well.

No IKEA for this lad
