Anyone see this tonight?

What a cracking view from the top - I would never tire of that.

Mind you, how much did the fella end up spending on it in the end? If I had that sort of dough I'm not sure I'd want to live there - even if you are 100ft up in the air away from the local scumbags!

    If I heard it right, when asked if it was 2,000,000 he didn't say no!

    Why? Turned an eyesore into a stunning property with his own hard earned money

    Wasted it pal! I mean, think how many beers you can buy with £2million. I'd spend it wisely me, not on pissin water towers!

    Not sure I agree with that either!

    Not many TV programmes hold my attention these days but that one did. Just absolutely amazing to turn that old wreck into the sort of home that he did. The skill of the builders, and the final finish, was just breath taking. Good luck to the guy for creating such a wonderful building.

    Mind you, I hope he had a good alarm system fitted as well!

    Yeah sorry, I was being sarcastic.


    Didn't see last nights show, but Grand Designs was one of me most favourite tv programs (when I watched tv). Some of the people who've appeared on it over the years have been quite annoying though! (the couple who built and "echo house" then found out they'd need to live in it for 120 years or so to remove it's carbon foot-print).

    About 55,000.
    But the views are not so good looking through the bottom of a glass.

    Some knob bought it for an extortionate amount of money and is converting it to a water tower!
