Episode Information Amersham, The Water Tower

Comments

1. A gem of a 'Grand Design'. I was completely fascinated by the almost faultless and rapid build, followed by total inertia with renovating the tower. Like other commenters i'd love to know whats happened since. The storey is only half told, right? Come on Kevin can't you go back again? What's happened since? Love to know. ,

2. I completely agree with the other comments. Have just watched this episode to feel very disappointed at the end not to see a renovated tower. It is like they have just used the Tower as an excuse to build their modern home wheras I thought the whole point was the Tower was supposed to be their home, and the extension an add-on. Owners - please finish work. Kevin - Please re-visit.

3. Not sure if the actual water tower was ever renavated was it? At the end of the show the presenter re-visits the site is it 2 years later and they'd still not completed the bedroom project in the tower itself? They did a great job on camaflaging th home though as I have driven and cycled past this a few times in the last few years and never even knew there was a home there.

4. I just watched this episode, and the revisit, and I would love to see this build revisited again, I am extremely curious about the tower part! Did they ever finish it? and if they did, was it a success, or did they just throw something together to get it done? I do hope one can go outside at the top, I thought the view was lovely and it would be quite an amazing experience to sit up there and drink tea, and with proper railings and such it would be perfectly safe ^.^ I would love to live in a tower like that; there's so much potential, and it could truly become amazing. I envy them a bit XD

5. Please revisit this project, I watched this program tonight with my wife Paula 25/04/2009.. What a shame not to see the tower completed, but only to have steel work removed 3 years after new build completed. It was like watching a film but the end was missing. I feel a big letdown by grand designs

7. Completely agree. Its been 6 or so years now and no revisit? Did it get done or was it just too much?

8. I would love to see the tower convertion of this build, as to me it is the defining factor. After 3 years from the finish of the build of the new section only the steel had been removed. Of all the Grand Designs this one was the most frustrating to watch as it had probably the most potential to become something trully amazing. It had such a good start I would like to see the end of this project at some stage. A final revisit so to speak.
