I would say yes. And if you add the 3 steps to the "den", it is not really a house for young children

i doubt it really, if a child is small enough to fall into the window area they shouldn't be unsupervised on the stairs,

as for the 3 steps a baby gate will solve that sharpish but it isn't the worst drop either,

after watching that makes me glad we are building from scratch, trying to convert old homes comes across as a much more expensive and hassle full option.

No Patricia to give us the final tally. I reckon there's the making of an entire behind the scenes programme from this one

Both of them are from the other end of the country. They probably don't have a bustling social life in Dublin where they can invite 20-30 friends around for drinks.

But was it not a family home owned by one of their grannies?

I am sure they have friends in Dublin. That's what happens when you move from the country to somewhere else in Ireland.

WE NEED ANSWERS!!!

What happened the builder?
Was there no housewarming?
Did it all end in tears and in between hiccups they managed to squeeze in the "we're delighted, and we're all friends, honest" bit?

Wouldn't be fair on the couple to say too much, they're a lovely couple. MOD SNIP

Agree. But it will an extra thing you will need to keep an eye to.

Programme Seven: Dundrum
A 1960s three-bed semi, an imminent baby arrival, a limited budget, a builder who was a contestant on The Apprentice and Dermot Bannon - what could possibly go wrong? Last episode in series.

I'd love to see that.

Mod:

As much as we here on the tv forum (that includes me!) love to get some insider information, I think we probably best leave any of the "insider" details private for the moment

Apart from the window, the house turned out lovely. MOD SNIP enjoy their new home and new baby.

What part of Kerry is she from originally, would it be Kenmare? Looks awful like a girl I used know from there, wonder is it her sister.

Aww, Mod Snips! Did I miss something? PM's welcome!

Also, stunning house! I honestly didn't mind the window.

Crazy doing your own QS when they don't appear to have any building knowledge.

Hardly she must charge a fortune for to enable them to get their attic room. After all it was only a house extension.

The fee on a job like that wouldn't normally exceed €2k for QS AFAIK.

Am I missing something, did they get pretty much everything for the €150000 mark.

Their must be no houses being renovated outside of Dublin, did he move outside the m50 this year ???

Sure wasn't he in Nenagh

creating a monstrosity

last week and in Mullingar a couple of weeks before that re-doing that huge architect designed home which needed loads of insulation and presumably that farmhouse he did up had to be outside the m50?
