Escape to the Château
Discussion
The editing on that was 'interesting' - maybe in the future try not to include shots in a room where the pump and sink are there, disappear, reappear, go out the window, are then shown back in place being worked around, reappear prior to any of the work then are in situ with all the other original junk while debating the 'late' crisis about the door being too small.
On the other hand it was interesting to see all that wood holding the floor together, serious timbers in that even if the old bathroom had rotted it.
Making the holes line up is trivial if you start with smaller holes and a plumb bob. Not a lot of measurement needed like they did?
Not sure I'd have hack those beams around too much as the outside shots seemed to show the tower wasn't exactly round any more, you can see a line up it with a crack and it starting to tuck/fold in at one of the decor bands and one of the windows sills.

At first I thought, Dick was gonna construct something himself ala scrapheap challenge.

I thought that. The way he talked about it and then did the demo with the hoover and clear pipe... I said to teh missu "He can't be making this himself!!"http://www.vacuumelevators.com/

"Oh hes quite handy. He makes all sorts of things."
"Yeah, but a lift is a bit of a leap in the 'opportunity for disaster' stakes compared to a pig cooker!"
Thankfully for everyone involved, he's buying one

He should be making it out of "a wire coat hangar and a pair of Val's old knickers"....
They must be getting something from the tv company I would have thought, in the first series he went back to the UK to do some paying work.He should be making it out of "a wire coat hangar and a pair of Val's old knickers"....
I expect they have several income streams. As mentioned there's his pension.
Also, his wife has a business in her own right: The Vintage Patisserie. She appeared on Dragon's Den!
That would explain where all the vintage waitresses came from in the last episode of the first series...
I think Dick is a great presenter, and to that end I hope that they make a success of it.
