Watched it too - are you sure?

Down a bit, Down a bit - up a bit, up a bit.

What do you mean you haven't got enough to finish it?

I'm away to commission an expensive painting instead.....

She was a horrid bint.

Lovely kitchen though, and great bangers.

Man, out tonight for a beer and the series record failed and didn't record it.
Set it to record 3 future repeats just to make sure one records as been waiting for this one for a while.
I haven't seen any of the new series yet all sitting on the Humax box to be watched.

Hope Lanarkshire came out well on it, did they have to add subtitles for our local dialect ?

It will be on the Channel 4 On Demand (iplayer equivalent) :thumbsup

I liked what he did, although it looks like a very exposed spot. He must be cursing the insurance company!

I really liked what he built and for the first time in ages I felt that Kevin liked the building from the outset! He normally has loads of issues that come together at the end but her seemed to like everything about it.

Also, I think the guy building it was brilliant! He came across really well and didn't seem disheartened by anything.

One thing that did make me go 'ooooh, don't know if I would've done that' was at the end when they were showing Kevin around and they had a lot of the paintings up on the walls.
Earlier in the show he sold one painting for £35k+, to then show some other (potentially expensive) paintings on the walls made me wonder if in the future he would become a target (I really hope not)

I dont know if the paintings were his but the house was dressed by Grand Designs for the final filming with hired furniture.

Big fan of tonights build, great remodel of a bland, boring building in to a very nice modern home. Was waiting throughout for Kev to work his usual magic and her to end up preggers.
