Did anyone watch Grand Designs last night?

30 minutes in and the Latvian constructors have taken the money and run.

and the entire thing done for 2 people, one of whom works away for months at a time.

australian show was better last week - quadraplegic making a single-level earth house.

but the uk one this week more up my street - modular

Thought postman Kevin was Russ Abbott at the start there

i have annoyed my other half by yelling "you're gonna get live-ins" at every shot of a shed on a truck

Kevin enthuses about a bronze light switch that you can toggle with your elbow. but it sticks out about an inch and it's going to catch on everything for years to come.

Love it when Kevin McCloud is like "great architecture can change the world, it can light up our hearts, a home can show us how to love & how to live" at the start of Grand Designs & then the episode is about the cruelest & most delusional man you've ever seen in your entire life
