I do like a bit of grand designs some connect more than others.
the chap with that build in Devon binners mentioned lost everything, he was clearly delusional about the build but you couldn’t help feel for him.
I remember one where a young couple bought an old water treatment plant, it was vast and they did most of the work themselves, including chipping plaster off on Christmas Day. They really deserved what they got, it wasn’t an exercise in how much credit they can get..
Matey boy in the graveyard got a lovely house,, it just didn’t feel personal.
I’d have been a bit hacked off if it was crap for £4m though
