Room to Improve.

I didn’t like end product. She was painful.

Honestly if you gave me a €500 voucher for Dunnes I'd do a better job of furnishing the place.

He seemed pretty sound and normal. She though didn't come across very well. Lots of talk about "my house" etc. rather than "our" and the strange flirting with Dermot was a bit odd. Just made her seem a bit self centred.

Wonder is that the truth of the matter or was it selective editing.

how much did it cost in the end?

I liked them as a couple.

You have something in common with them so....they liked themselves too:P

I thought they were grand as a couple. Oh come on to call that flirting with Dermot is a bit much


I thought the house itself was totally meh. If I was Dermot I wouldn't be overly proud of it

What a shame to see the Celtic tiger in all its vulgarity roaring again like that.
I had to turn it off cos I couldn’t stand any more of her.
She’s that one girl on the hens party sulking that “yere all dry ****es” because the rest don’t want to wear the blow up mickeys on their heads.
Tell me something, if Dermot Bannon was Denise Bannon and the husband had been carrying on like that how would it look?
Can you imagine his parents watching her pissing away 30 years of hard work?
She’ll be on Liveline in 5 years time when the whole things gone bang telling joe that “all she ever wanted was a roof over her babies heads”.

To be honest if he was such a pushover the way people make him out to be I don't think he'd have being much use in the business.

Boards is gas. Hopefully next week they'll be putting a new carpet and a couch in a 3 bed semi. Keep people happy. If they have the money to invest in their house in their local town fair play to them. Obviously they did very well from the sale of the business.

That did it for me. I switched to RTE after Strike and there she was with Santa underwear and literally next time I went back to rte she was going on about naked Thursdays. This was best proof that money can't buy you class. I saw a bit of house in the end and judging by other bits I saw it could be much worse. I'm not surprised to read she wanted country style kitchen in modern extension.

Whilst a lot didn't like your one.(I wasn't pushed) she didn't touch the woman!

Is the doggy door not a security risk? Sure we all know now that the dog has a microchip to open the door panel!!
A person could easily get in through that!

There are not too many burglers out there with microchips and even if they were microchipped they would have to be microchipped to the correct address.:D

Yup. Brutal and tasteless. Spend your millions on whatever floats your boat, but it takes some neck to flaunt it on TV when, just ten minutes earlier, the news was reporting on temporarily getting homeless people off the streets before a potential snowstorm.

If the characters in the home improvement reality show are obnoxious then it doesn’t matter how avant gard or eclectic the upgrade is, it’s a thumbs down from most of the viewers.

That kind of gave a P Flynn "try it sometime" angle.

Seen four episodes of this and really souring to it. Bannon is a grating personality and, for a professional architect, he seems to have an alarming disregard for the opinions and finances of his clients and a very limited range as a designer. It's the same thing week in, week out. its mindless property porn, though if you don't like irreconcilable glass + cladding extensions there's little to enjoy.

But could they not just use their doggeh to open the panel in that house?!

These are very common in the US.
They are controlled by the dogs collar. It's a little like having a wireless remote for electric gates. It will only open yours.
I say they know the risks of leaving the dog out.

Considering our glass door was scratched and mucky because of dog paws I see the benefits of that hatch.
