Weird, wonderful and/or pregnant?
Weird
Not pregnant
And what does this guy do for a living? Farmer/drug smuggler?
Oh, just heard about his wayward days as a youth and the trust fund.
That looks suspiciously like the lower Rother between Wittersham and Iden
Edit: yes it is.
I'm thinking he's ever done a hard days graft in his drug addled, inheritance-fueled life... or just me?! Lucky for some.
His brother's face says it all.
I love the fact he's clearly a mentalist who's nonced about on boats on drugs all his life, who the family are ashamed of... "Yeah, you can have the money 40 years after you inherit it...but only for a house."
And we get it...you like boats..
DrP
Not just you hh
I think he had FAR too many chemicals in his younger days!
Crows nest, crows nest!
He likes boats?
Must have missed that bit ........
Not sure the effects are still there from his chemical intake
I just saw a boat.
I quite like him. Imagine having him as an uncle.every trip to see him would be an adventure
I like this house FAR more than last weeks "architecture by numbers" design....
Yep, like that a lot.
Just a shame it's under the HV LInes..
The bloke is barshit mental. I like him.
How he resisted making that ramp into a slipway I'll never know!
Yep, those HV lines will make mental just you wait and see.
Just a shame it's under the HV LInes..
Brilliant house, brilliant bloke. Just needs a wooden shed extension for bikes.
The highlight for me was the dog wearing that little safety jacket.
I really liked that house.
The construction method with the different layers of timber and engineered timber products really appeals to me as well
That dog in the hiviz was quality

I preferred the manscaped lizard king from last week more. Least he earned his money etc etc.
Matt - is that stuff the Pavatex board? (I seem to remember you worked in that area). Is it really OK for repeated soakings?
What's Kevin done to his teeth 8)
They were his teeth? I thought he'd had LEDs fitted into his mouth.

The aesthetics is bad enough, but I'm damned if I'd want to live underneath HT cables like that, although his house, being almost entirely wood might be ok, but my own experience of standing underneath cables like those holding a bike, and getting electric shocks every time I touched any metal parts would put me off, and the continual buzzing from the cables if the air gets damp really [i]would[/i] drive me nuts, like flies buzzing and whining all the time.
I'd want to be another 1-200 metres away, at least.
Still, I really did like the house, and the location was wonderful, power lines aside; I could happily live there, sitting down on the jetty on warm evenings, book in hand and a nice beer or three close by...
I liked it but 300k for a 1 bedroom wooden house seemed a bit much! It's marked on the OS map as [url= http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=593259&y=124853&z=115&sv=593259,124853&st=4&ar=y&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf&dn=629&ax=593259&ay=124853&lm=0 ]Nirvana[/url]. 🙂
Three bedrooms, the other two and and another bathroom were at the far end of the house from the river.
The house* they knocked down was called nirvana
*looked derelict or severely unloved
I want to know more about the trust fund thing.
So, the fact that he couldn't inherit in full means that he wasn't deemed responsible? Who would decide this? And would he be allowed to prove how responsible he was at a later point, and did he fail? Basically, would he still be seen as not responsible at this point or was it all based on someone's decision 40 years ago?
Or would it just have been his parents deciding that he was a ****less, drug addled layabout and hes not wasting their hard earned on hash...
Today's might be a tad showy....
Nice plot of land over looking the beach but how big a house does one need? 😯
Bigger than me and four other OAB's... 😯
This should go well.
The architect is going to blow their budget massively.
The architect just called it 'a profound building'. 🙄
And the steelwork cost 180k. Could have got it cheaper but that's not what the build is about. Arsehole.
I've watched about 3 minutes and have to turn it off.
Budget flowing for some metal and a hole in the ground
The architect is going to blow their budget massively
He's not an architect.
And I'd say it's a pretty even bet between him and them as to who is going to blow the budget. Not that the budget was realistic to start with.
Is it me, or has she suddenly become plastic and overly made up?

"I came to the Isle of Wight for some escapism but now I've spent disgusting amounts of money I don't really have so people can look at me while I'm here"
Idiot.
Absolutely no sympathy for these two whatsoever!
well it aint my thing but I'd be telling a lie if did not own up to hoping it goes less than easy.
They can't budget and he's a tax accountant.
I didn't see the introductions. I assumed that was who he was. Could have been the chippy for all I know.
Only just watched last weeks. He was basically Rattie from Wind in the Willows.
Messing about on boats....
Madness bloody madness, they have lost the plot he nearly kicked the bucket and wanted escapism, all they have done is provided themselves with him having another heamorage. It looks like it will either never get finished or sold as soon as it has been, they cant afford it. Bloidy crackers.
Is the architect the bastard child of Alan Davies and Jamie Oliver?
Why and how was someone driving a boat up the beach!?!
Love Kevin's footballers wives comment :
boxer dog in high viz, is this becoming a theme.
Twunt with a pinky ring...

He's an 'architectural designer', the difference being 7 years of training and a pretty comprehensive code of conduct. You could set up tomorrow as an 'architectural designer', and no-one could stop you. You couldn't set up as an architect without the aforementioned 7 years of training, getting chartered, signing up to the code of conduct, and taking out some hefty PI insurance.
I'm pretty sure the "architect" is the chap who did the yoghurt covered tree house on the island few seasons ago. This whole project is one massive vanity project for the designer and Brahms and will end in tears.
he just said £1.8m.
That lass can spend it.
I like the house, but have zero sympathy for their 'suffering'. Consumption so conspicuous really doesn't sit right with me.
Borrowing money from friends.... Not desperate are they?
He's not an architect!
I know that, it's just fun watching you jump on every mention of him being an architect. I guess it pisses you off somewhat. 😆
Just tuned in for the "Money shot", what have I missed?
Borrowing money from friends.... Not desperate are they
I was suprised they had friends...
Well tbat near death experience really brouvht them back down to earth
They will die !
How posh is that boat with wheels?
So an architect ( or architectural designer) who can't manage client expectation and budget and a bloody accountant who can't track budget and finance? Jesus wept. Incompetent the both of them on a personal and professional level.
he is taking the piss now.
Tacky watch and Bose speakers you can buy from Currys. 😆
£3.3 million !!!!!!!!
Make a note to self to avoid whoever design that building ... 😆
JohnClimber - Member£3.3 million !!!!!!!!
Crikey, they must be spending future money? Ya?
I guessed 2 mil! Blimey!!!
Nice house, but now that I have finished wiping the tea from my keyboard, did he just say '3.2 - 3.3 [b][u]million[/b][/u] pounds'?!
You can buy a decent bike for that and still have change.
Was the term WTF invented for this evening's episode?!
Amazing building...but fools for spending what they did. Next week.looks good too!
Money aside its a lovely looking place with some wonderful views but faaaaaaaaak how can anyone live with that amount of financial stress. Bonkers.
Next weeks looks fun 🙂
Electric BMW.
Natch.

Compared to the stress of nearly dying, money is nothing.
the house was nice, if a little like a posh forestry visitor centre.
but the notion that spending 3 million quid that you don't really have is justified because you nearly died once is profoundly obscene.
she mentions that it was worth it because being able to go to sleep hearing the tide coming in gives them an amazing quality of life. buy a tent and go sleep on the beach then.
FFS.
Compared to the stress of nearly dying, money is nothing
I imagine the stress off paying off high interest bridging loans may be pretty high..
Agree with brakes. Yes nearly dying would be life changing but they seemed to have changed their lives for something that could put his health at risk again. Bonkers.
Life changing illness often makes us a bit mad, but limits often remain
I can only guess that you need have the experience to understand.
I didn't much care for his smug attitude to having contractors haranguing him for payment of invoices. Compared to his own mortality, debt isn't that important, but those invoices quite often represent the success or failure of people's businesses & food on people's tables.
