The "Grand Designs" appreciation topic

Does anyone watch this?

Its about middle aged men mostly, who have a mid life crisis and decide to build something ludicrous, often with good results. Real achievements even.

(so like "changing rooms" - but for men.)

You can watch some of the episodes on

Today is was a midlife crisis couple who decided to build an eco home. Their initial budget was £200k, and they in the end spent approximately £340k.

I thought the rooms could have been a bit bigger, morespacious.

I don't watch that. I watch programmes where people's homes have been wrecked by 'Cowboy Builders', and yes, that is the name of the programme.

I dont have a TV :oops:

Your own soul is nourished when you are kind; it is destroyed when you are cruel.

That's good.

We have a TV but I rarely watch it. I watch everything online now.
