Project manage it themselves. Bingo tick one.

[SmoothCriminal]

Giving up her job to project manage two days a week??

[Laurel Green]

Not off to a good start this week.

The most appropriately timed British Gas advert

Well if the gas does explode, at least they won't have to pay to dig up the slab...

Brilliant!

"Drink light" That's a new one on me.

[Bonefish Blues]

I'm thinking no Kevin Jnr this week...

'I'm going to project manage the build, I don't know what that means though'

Much like most PM's then

[Laurel Green]

"Hmmm" Says it all really.

[Bonefish Blues]

Always wanted to see the interior of one of those studios.

Great big beautiful window....

...staring straight into the other building.

Not feeling it this week

[ajprice]

Not feeling this one. Architect banter doesn't stop the downstairs being dark.

[MiniMan64]

Also, where did those neighbouring houses spring from?!!

One minute it's a forest glade, the next there's a bungalow in the garden!

[ooo000ooo]

What's going on with all the cables for the lights hanging round and plugged into to sockets in the ceiling etc.? Did the project manager forget to book an electrician?

[jules_s]

No windows and a sedum roof in the middle of a wood

Indulgent Architect. Hope he likes weeding it

I thought that humourless architects were a thing of the nineties.

I am glad that it's buried in a forest in Essex.

I missed the first half of last night's episode and when I caught up with the second half, I really wasn't too excited it by it either.

They seemed perfectly happy with it, so that's good for them, but it was quite an uninspiring build for me this week, usually when I watch the show I get my ideas from it for the house I keep telling myself that I will build one day, but this week, nothing.

Who told you that ?

Nope, witless architects have, if anything, proliferated since the millennium. Very few of them can operate a simple pencil and sketchpad anymore and most have their heads so full of loft conversions and kitchen extentions that, given the opportunity to put their own stamp on a project, can only produce rather serious looking boxes.

who needs architects , when you got lego
