Grand Designs - full commitment again...

From bitter experience I've learned that some architects love the drawing part, and some architects are good at the managing contractors part - and I've not found many who are good at both. So invariably you have this fantastic design on the page which then gets translated through the contractor's view of what's reasonable/ easy/ intended. So turning an architect's vision into an actual building is quite rare!

"retirement house"

Not sure that's many people's idea of a retirement house. 

 

Yeah, I agree! That's how it was described and I forgot it's actual name. I doubt the home that I retire in will look anything like that 😄
