jesusfcukingchrist!

They have spunked £850k and it's a complete mess. It's vast, yet looks cluttered after they filled it with utter tat, sorry, collection. Particulary like that despite having acres, almost literally, of space they still kept everything open plan even the toilets so everyone can hear you loudly defecate. Lovely.

free barn + £850k = minghawk

If he had just set fire to the barn think what nice building he could have put in it's place.

I kind of liked it... Would be a great place for a party!

Awful lot of money for not a lot though.

It was a sh*t hole when they started and didn't get much better. Grating on the roof FFS.

Seven times the size of the average three-bedroom house (according to the guy) and they only put two bedrooms in it!

£850k for a two-bedroom house! WTF!!??

That building had loads of potential - not realised by them. I liked the idea of the workshops; would make a great garage. Then do something completely different with the 'home' part of the barn. For starters, put everything that should have gone in a skip, into a skip, including their 'collections'.

Lets hope nobody is using the sh1tter when they are making coffee for guest... "one lump or two"... plop plop...

Agree, but you could have guessed that would be the end result almost as soon as you saw the couple on screen. I was hoping the guys Engineering knowledge along with this sculpture side was going to come through and produce something good but unfortunately the arty/alternative side across both of them won over and they have built a very expensive cluttered presentation of their tat........shame

Even after 4 hair colours changes she didn't look any better either....

Yup... I had the thought at the start of the show; 'here's one that won't be up the duff during the show'
