Must take a drive up there one day.

I think he'll bury her in the foundations. Why is she trying to self build???

Give the concrete a bit of body. It's for the best.

“My feet are too small”, no you dozy mare, you need to walk on the corners, not in the gaps!

I can see her getting a good slapping at some point

[Bonefish Blues]

Self build my house for me????

[Laurel Green]

She's making up for her lack and ability with her use of the builders vocabulary, I see.

Suspect even the might of Kevin won't be able to overcome that this time.

I lost a bit of sympathy for Lynn when I realised she was employing Turks to do the job. Never go west of the Loughor!

[Lynchie999]

this isn't going too well ...

[Bonefish Blues]

I'm sad for her, but haven't we seen this over and over again?

Why the fk would you attempt to self build mostly on your own at her age?

Has anyone done any drawings or calcs on these? How could they mess something like that up when it starts to fall down as they're building it?
She goes from one extreme to the other, one minute it's liberating and the best thing she's ever done, next minute she's hating every second of it.
It's like watching a car crash in slow motion, building a house is really easy isn't it? Of course it is, lets build one.

Moaning because her long time friend/neighbour buys loads of tools to use on his self build and she expects to use them as and when!

No matter what you might think about her, you’ve got to feel for her! All on her own, all her savings gone, house going to poop ... not a great place to be at 63.

I wonder who was responsible for the beam debacle. Architect/structural engineer, or was it the fitting of?

...and why would the under-slab pipe be left filled with water - utterly bonkers!

[anonymous-user]

It’s a bloody discotheque!! No like from me.

Jesus wept, that old couples house looks fking rank.

Tacky glittery tiles. TV so high up they’ll break their neck.

What is it with women over the age of 50 choosing purple for everything.

[anonymous-user]

Prefer Lynn’s by a country mile but it’s pretty soulless inside imo.

I'd hate to try and bleed the system of air once it was under a slab, but I was actually surprised to find that underfloor heating systems are just filled with water. Genuinely expected there would be something more complicated than that.
