we are going to build and everyone keeps telling us to paint all the walls white at first and then after a few months living there paint them the different colours we want once we settle in and do up the rooms...

We did this and a year later still haven't got around to painting the walls, everywhere is white undercoat!

Here we go!

Nice story about the provenance of this house

HeidiHeidi

6 bedrooms, one bathroom???

Atlantic Dawn

Have the bathrooms facing Mecca.

Quazzie

Granny is very old

Could this be the first programme that they might actually need one less room before the end of the build.

Atlantic Dawn

Back in the day if someone in your family or a mate could stack blocks you would give them a house to build. No need for planning permission and other red tape.

Harry Angstrom

Too many bathrooms might be bad for feng shui but it might be good for personal hygiene missus.

Don't think they'll have enough money for what they want.

The theme music from Looney Tunes is in my head

Harry Angstrom

Is this guy trying to insinuate that Dermot is an idiot?

Atlantic Dawn

For 6 bedrooms you would ideally want 1 guest bathroom near the entrance to the house, an ensuite and one near the bedrooms. Feng shui or not if your last in the Q in the morning waiting to use the toilet your healthy body and mind won't be very pleased.

My dad is a blocklayer and years ago back in the mid 70s him and a load of his mates built an extension onto the local pub after a session one night. They literally blocked out the whole thing overnight whilst being fed pints by the pub owner.

New plans look like the International Space Station.

Back then the surrounding trees would have been the insulation

They'll have to give the granny a map to find her way around
