In answer to jon, approx two and a half times over budget would be a conservative figure. I agree with him that the budget is a very important part of the show and believe that future episode should have an audited figure as the costs some of the participants have owned up to are simply not believable. Just ask any builder.
Anyone with any information on how far they ended over budget? It must be quite a substantial figure as by contacting grand designs in the first place they must have known this was an important part of the show, yet have chosen not to disclose the figure. I wish kevin had been more forceful. Cheers in advance.
I am trying to find the earthship inspired house in France. I haven't been able to find that one.. And where can I actually watch the ones that I have missed, or rewatch my favourites?
we can help as we supplied the rendering and details can be found on our website www.plasterer.co.uk, we can also offer other render carriers to timberframe Des
Found out answer about rendering technique on Grand Designs site (East Devon, the Beach House)in suppliers : material called "rendaboard" is put on wood before rendering is applied. http://www.plasterer.co.uk/Rendercarriers.htm
Like David (08.05.09) I am interested by the name and supplier of the "product" ( 3 membranes including wire ?) used on the wood to ensure that render would fix/adhere to it.
Is this it! The last episode of the season turns out to be a repeat of an old episode from season 5. This is on top of having 5 revisited episodes in the current season (which are only really 10 mins of new content) Please C4 go back to the old season layout - 7 or 8 episodes with 1 or 2 revisits. For the last 2 seasons it feels like the content is being stretched out to make as many episodes at as little cost.
I was really fell for yestarday show house. Is there any possibility that I can purchase a house design form them. It really thrilled me. I could build one 4myself in the west indies or Africa. plz advise. sam
Just wondering if you would be able to tell me the name of Julie's tanning company. I'm very interested in buying some of her products. Also the structure of the house was amazing, and the project was an inspiration to people wanting to build their own suburban home.
I was so frustrated when they didnt say how much they ended up spending, it put the hole project out of context. Especially as she put so much emphasis on getting things cheaply. obviously wasnt that cheap if they wouldn't even say how much they overspent by! a dissapointing ending to an interesting program. At least Kevin stood up for architects this time and actually mentioned the planning process which so often gets overlooked! Thanks Kev
render was probably Alsecco..or very similar maybe Sto bath filler is going to really irritate after a few weeks, that is a design concept that will never become mainstream....Kevin was clearly unimpressed with that novelty...good quality of finish in general
