i think the best one i have seen was the guy who was the woodsman and built his house from what he harvested from the woods, it had a cruck frame and straw bales for walls, pretty awesome. the ones where they just throw loads of money at it dont really do it for me

that was awesome and i completely agree

have you been watching Kevins man made home or whatever its called?

Watched that one the other day... couldnt believe that it only cost him like £80k in the end  :shocked:

That house would have cost you close to £1m if you paid someone else to do that

I thought that bloke showed some real guts in putting his money where his mouth is to save an old water tower and the results were breathtaking, certainly not a 'family' home but much better than some of the anonymous lego bricks around him and i suspect he'll get every penny and more of that two million back when he comes to sell.

Erm.. Took real guts to throw £500k of one of his chums money at it!

Legacy. Pah.  :rolleyes:

Very nice but I felt the programme understated the workman ship and the hard slog the workman had. I say fair to them not the guys paying the bills.

They have ended up with a fantastic home from a derelict building.
I like it but wouldnt want to live there!
Oh and they should have put a second lift internally up to the tank room.

Awesome Build, and the only thing that annoyed me was the way the Leigh matey kept saying 'I' which annoys the sh!t out of me when people don't give credit where credits due.

Many people busted their nuts in that build From the Labourers to the Architect an all he kept saying was 'I will be remembered for this' ..........'I have put my blood and sweat into this' ........'I have been kept awake at night by bills'

No mention of others, even his Partner!
