"Well guess what, I like that." Please tell me this is not scripted to make TV.

Old black tile through out. This is like a old farm house, should have left it the was it was as they clearly want it back, just with new material.

she's the most annoying, childish "grown up" I've ever came across.

out of interest... do they pay Dermot or would they get his services free for appearing on the show?

GavRedKing

She's very condescending. It's a pretty poor attitude to have to be talking down to people like she does.

It looks like shes got her way her entire life.

An ignorant person with no manners that’s what she is..... there is a right and wrong way to talk to people....not mad about Dermot but you can’t talk to anyone like a child from her class...I would hate for anyone of kids being taught by her..

She'd want to take a long hard look at herself.

What an absolute pain, I wouldn't blame him if he walked away from the job.

Considering the next program on after this, she'd fit right in on The Hardy Bucks

She's an absolute pain. If I was Dermot I'd just let her have her way - she'll have years to regret it afterwards and he wont have to listen to her. What was the point in employing him if she's not willing to listen to any advice?

I don't often say it but my god she is a rude bitch

Makes for good drama.

But I often wonder if they actually care what their community/neighbours/schoolkids might think about them. Obviously not. Necks like a jockey's blx.

Ah lads, same as everything in this house she is stuck in the past. She is a real aul bossy boots "Is mise an múinteoir" but please don't tar all teachers with the same brush.
We're not all raving aul biddies!

That's the way so many teachers are. Not nice people.

If I was Dermot I’d have walked off that job. Tell her to find someone else to fix her house . It’s not an architect she needs !

What a bleedin nightmare, a right horror. It was yer mans house, he’s not getting a look in.

Teachers needs loads of bedrooms for all the kids to max out maternity leave.....

I must be alone, in liking her.

Because it sounds bigger than a 3 Bed, therefore more social standing on her eyes.

Ive read before that his design work is funded by the show. The QS, contractor, planning costs etc are paid by the punters.

I can only surmise that the production team decided that this project would be boring but that she would make controversial telly.

All its doing is bringing a world of hate down on her, rightly or wrongly.

ANDREWMUFC

I’d give her a poke

Gavlor

I’d say her parent teacher meetings are fun!!

“You’re not doing a great job of raring Johnny, lets talk about what’s good about him first, the list is shorter”

GT_TDI_150

why have they gone down the road of going to dermot?

they didnt contact him to say ... ' hey, can you put us on the tele?'
They would have gone to him and asked them to design their house
Hey would then have decided it would be a good project for the tele

but they (well she) knew the kind of work he does ... to get dermot in and not expect open spaces or 'square box' extentions or big glass area's .... ya dont bring a sheep to a dairy farmer and ask him to milk it ....

Do ya know what would make great TV...

Dermot as the client in his own house renovation

Probably discussed earlier in the thread, but his Drumcondra gaff is for sale currently, and it doesn't look much like the work he does on the show.

Dermot had said last week on radio, that yer wan who wanted the underfloor heating got a bad going over on twitter,
This one will have to go in hiding, oh wait she can hide in the closed of rooms

So childish. 'I have to be right all the time'. To hell with just accepting when things work better than you thought.
