I, too, blame the Georgians.

The woman's not that bad, or are my standards slipping?

What we appear to have done is restore a barn... and I wasn't quite expecting that!

Nice.

Mrs 16 contributes:

If you had the chronic runs and you had guests downstairs, they would totally hear everything.

As long as I close the door when I have chronic runs, she's happy!

Re the ladies, she gave up on me when I confessed to a childhood crush on Maryam D'Abo!

Like living in a low rent medieval tate modern, with an en suite in the turbine hall, they should invite Tracey emin round to camp out in their living room and it would be complete

Apparently, changing your hair colour all the time means you're bi-polar... a strange woman told me that once.

Is an extractor hood over the oven really necessary when the ceiling is about 90ft high!

Struggling to find anything I liked about that. An ugly building in ugly immediate surroundings and a messy, I'll-considered interior.

The spiral staircase was nice (probably one of their biggest single expenses) - but hidden in that awful concrete.

Mrs S-S made the point that rebuilding the concrete grain silos probably cost more than wacking a stud wall up. False economy recyling.

and bloody ugly.

I liked the farmhouse though. Wish we saw more of that.

I liked it. At least its not yet another modern glass box/shopping centre

I liked most of the stuff they'd collected too, especially the robots. 🙂

I quite liked it too. Wouldn't want to live in it, and there was lots to not like, but I liked the approach they took.

Isn't recycling not simply about pound/shilling/pence savings?
I like open spaces but that was biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig. Too much wood for me too, inmteresting roof idea too. A huge amount of money, I hope they've got something left for heating.
