Yer man sounds like Hank Scorpio with an Irish accent.

That's it. You nailed it. Hank Scorpio is one of my all time favourite Simpsons characters. The nice guy villan.

Indeed. Don't get me wrong. I like them and I'd say he is paid a fortune so fair play.

It’s a fantastic sign of them as a couple that he has such a high pressure job and they are still so easy and happy with each other. Guys at that level are under shocking pressure, working stupid hours and travel away, and often their home life can crumble so I like him even more now.

I think this is going to be a fabulous looking house and it's in a lovely location that's not too far from Dublin.

I mean I'm not surprised where the money comes from. He mentioned they paid the house out of pocket in the beginning and never had a mortgage but also built what they could afford at the time, hell, they didn't even fit out parts of the house up until a few years ago.
Now they're in a better place and went for a mortgage, according to his own words in the start. So effectively they get a designer house and pay whatever the remodel costs back.
This isn't a bad deal to be fair.

I hope he doesn't ruin the island with too much going on, as he says himself less is more.

BettePorter · 29-09-2019 10:18PM

Yeh nice couple ....play off each other well. No diva /control freak in either.

Autosport · 29-09-2019 10:19PM

I like the gold colour

When Room to Improve started it was couples spending 40k trying to get extra room on the kitchen.

Every project now is a few hundred thousand remodel.

appledrop · 29-09-2019 10:20PM

Wtf this kitchen sounds mental!

Depends, Vice President is the same as Assistant Manager in a many of the American MNCs operating in Dublin. Citibank and Statestreet being two examples. They tend to go very overboard on job titles.

True, but if you look him up on LinkedIn he’s the no.1 guy for a big shared services operation. It’s a sizeable job. Helluva lot better than mine:)

HeidiHeidi · 29-09-2019 10:21PM

Holy moly!! :eek:

What an amazing home.

Front is like a church .

iamwhoiam · 29-09-2019 10:22PM

Oh I don’t like those matchsticks holding up the front of the house

vladmydad · 29-09-2019 10:22PM

I love it. Especially the white paving

God that house is like a warehouse. So cold.

This former warehouse....that still looks like a warehouse...leaves me cold, not homely at all.

touts · 29-09-2019 10:23PM

That is amazing.

Addle · 29-09-2019 10:23PM

The same colour front door/wall combo is another recurring theme. I love it.

Fab house. This episode flew by.

Pretty class and nice couple too, fair play to them.

Nonoperational · 29-09-2019 10:24PM

Looks great.

Wasn’t much shown of the builder/build in the end.

Daisy78 · 29-09-2019 10:25PM

Fabulous house. He did a great job.

yop · 29-09-2019 10:25PM

Congrats to them. Incredible house.
Lovely people to boot. They have money and I'd love to have that house, but they seem like nice people so happy for them.
Nice people deserve nice things.

iamwhoiam · 29-09-2019 10:26PM

Nice couple , they love it so fair play . I find it a bit cold but I don’t live in it
