    That cube out the front is vile. Lovely inside

    I like the garden, very nice, but I feel the house has very little character. Their little fella is lovely

    Just tuned in. What an eyesore out front. I wouldn't fancy that next door to me

    €620k excluding the room in the garden and the landscaping.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,441 ✭✭✭✭lawred2


    How much did they say for that kitchen?

    Near 30k?

    Saw them coming

    the outside front is a bit of a eyesore



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,043 ✭✭✭appledrop


    How the f**k did that cost 600k🤯🤯🤯🤯

    The upstairs is very plain looking.

    Ugh a bit cringe at the end, tearful praise of Dermot as Dermot laughs his way to the bank! The builder should have got some praise, he actually built it!!

    But they got the house of their dreams and they're a nice family.

    Nice bag garden for a teenage lad...!!!! Poor fella wouldn't want to be kicking a ball



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,391 ✭✭✭McGrath5


    Likely €700k by the time the garden and gym is included, is that a record spend for Room to Improve?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,935 ✭✭✭✭~Rebel~


    The fact there's a huge green right out the front was a big part of their thinking on that I think



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,436 ✭✭✭Wildsurfer


    You would wonder how planning is granted to buildings that change the aesthetics of an area so much. On the back no problem, but not on the front.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 779 ✭✭✭afkasurfjunkie


    Wonder what the landscaping cost? Looked very expensive. Not the most child friendly back garden. Does the son even live there? She looked a bit surprised to see him when he ran in for the hug near the end.

    What is the point of a budget when you’re gonna go 228k above!

    Was the cooker on the island? if so was there an extraction fan above? If not, what was that on the island?

    Didn't like the front, as per most others. Not really sure what they got for €650k. Looks nice, but apart from the garden nothing gave me a woah!

    I thought that was a lovely finished house.

    Three nice good sized bedrooms with plenty of storage. Kitchen was such an improvement. Garden room/gym a great idea for growing boy. They'll need to break down a fence portion into the sisters though.

    The front of the house wouldn't bother me. Plus a very handy bike store.

    I wish them well.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 719 ✭✭✭20/20


    Was there any en-suite bathrooms ? Only got a glimpse of the main bathroom changed to a wet room.

    I guess the young fella won't be spending too much time playing in the back garden. And he's several years away from getting use out of the gym.

    Bike shed in the front won't get his bike in with what's already there.

    I like the interior, but not the island. Looks very cold and clinical.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,441 ✭✭✭✭lawred2


    Ridiculous.

    I can't see really where all that money went.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,935 ✭✭✭✭~Rebel~


    T'was fairly clear from the word go that 400k wasn't really the budget, but rather an uneducated figure they had in mind. As soon as he pointed out it would be a lot more for what they wanted, they were grand with it. As they said, the 'wishlist' was much more important than that figure.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,523 ✭✭✭the_pen_turner


    ince inside but a bit lacking in charicter and cosyness.

    front extention is not to my taste at all. i dont understand why the bike shed is so small compared to the size of the bit sticking out.

    28k over isnt too bad considering .

    that garden must be 20k judging by last weeks costing for a few trees.

    that garden gym must be 40k minium. ceder cladding, rubber roof with lantern, huge window/ door. etc



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,935 ✭✭✭✭~Rebel~


    Can have built in island extractors that suck from below instead of above, or also ones where the extractor rises up when you're cooking, and sinks back down into the island when you're not.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,043 ✭✭✭appledrop


    I actually missed the start just watched it there on plus one.

    Actually welling up there when she was saying why she wouldn't move🥲.

    Just hope her sister never moves!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,742 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    Was the bathroom upstairs on downstairs?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,423 ✭✭✭KaneToad


    Ah give over, of course the child lives there!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,324 ✭✭✭✭PARlance


    I don't think there was a bathroom downstairs which kind of goes against the future proofing aspect that was so important.
