Mad potato picker did good ! No wonder he would not give any costs, would have been a small fortune "to be sure to be sure".
Potato smoothies all round captain !!

Nice launch for his rib, I wonder how often he'll use it.

Yeah, it was a good one this week. Not sure I'd want to live there myself, but they did a fantastic job. You know it's good when even Kevin can't find fault with it.

I'd love to stand naked beating my chest on his balcony.

don't have a tv so will have to watch it tomorrow on 4OD, look forward to it by the sounds of things, especially after last weeks utter disappointment of a house, what were those two oldies thinking, i genuinely got annoyed at the project.

One of my favourites from any series so far. Great vision, finished beautifully. I love being by the sea, and that view is priceless. The closest feelling to living on a boat, whilst still being (kind of) on land. Liked the fact the exterior didnt change, felt it stayed true to the surroundings. Great place, must be worth a pretty penny now!

Yes, one of the best yet. I liked the bit when the entirely predictable tide caught his contractors "by surprise".

Anyone know when it is repeated? The re-scan messed up my recordings.

Are they picking "oldies" for the show to stop Unca Kev sowing his oats?

they're just the only people with enough money/time/bonkersness to do any projects worth making into a telly box program.
i'd like to do my own build, but it would be a small, boring, cheap, efficient ...
i'd park up the static caravan on the edge of the site, and then i'd realise that i'd be happy living in the static caravan for the next 50 years, and turn my 'building plot' into dirt-jumps.

Next weeks place looks big enough to include a dirt jump arena inside it!

one of the best yet
Agreeed. I thought it was great.
especially after last weeks utter disappointment of a house
Strange - I thought last weeks was one of the best ones I have ever seen on grand designs. I guess it's a case of "each to their own".

...and next weeks looks nuts. "The interior is the size of 7 normal 3 bedroom houses"... why the hell would anyone need a house that big??!

Indoor trail centre and hot air balloon flights, the biggest train/scalextric set ever, a monkey enclosure, secret command centre, nightclub, bar and restaurant, some kind of speakeasy saloon for the cool people who "don't do clubs", drive thru shower, different climate zones and a beach, special enclosure for seeing what happens when x is put in a microwave (where x is something that would explode and make a satisfying mess), croc pit with trapdoor button under desk for minion who couldn't poach an egg just so that the white is solid and the yolk is runny without any floaty bits, mini replica of Venice, and a nice big bedroom with a walk in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom with all mod-cons.

Great episode and what a character that guy was.
"The Building Inspector wouldn't let me do it as I wanted"
"What did he want"
"A slap"Brilliant!
I also noticed the Kevin made no criticisms nor offered ideas to the bloke, he was a strong character who knew what he wanted.
