€2500 for the chimney redone ain't bad.

It's very good but I suppose all the scaffold will be there already.

HeidiHeidi · 13-10-2019 10:03pm

They so didn't just make that decision in the car just like that.

Why can't they just show the thing as it happens without staging stupid stuff like that? Drives me mad.

Beechwoodspark · 13-10-2019 10:03pm

This is why I can’t take to this show. Money and more money on tap every damn week.

Lisha · 13-10-2019 10:04pm

Oh God feeling fragile while meeting Dermot could be dodgy

Atlantic Dawn · 13-10-2019 10:05pm

Why would builders not have used RSJ's in house extensions about 40-50 years ago?

Not on their own. The potential stuff should have been picked up in a survey, which wouldn't be the architects bag.

Even I would guess the house was old and the roof looked dodgy

They don't know what the issue is with the roof or the extent of it yet. It has to be investigated.

To be fair, it's easy to say you think the roof looks dodgy when it appears on screen when they flag a potential problem with it.

I've seen some jobs that turned out to be structurally fine that looked like work was needed.

I wish there was some genuine thought and ingenuity, with some difficult decisions and sacrifices, in order to solve these problems.

Feels like a cop out that these families and couples just add 50-100k to their budget to overcome them

iamwhoiam · 13-10-2019 10:06pm

No window that opens in the kitchen ? No way would I agree to that

Lisha · 13-10-2019 10:07pm

Dermot being shocked is funny

ShamoBuc · 13-10-2019 10:07pm

The wallpaper is rather hideous. They say whacky but I'm not seeing it as that. Final product will be interesting.

appledrop · 13-10-2019 10:08pm

Dermot will not be impressed with these two.

Going off buying their own stuff. Ha ha fair play to them. Dermot is an architect not an interior designer.

Some of their taste seems wacky but each to their own.

HeidiHeidi · 13-10-2019 10:08pm

That wallpaper is brilliant! I love it.

Dermot, they're the ones who are going to be looking at it, get over it ffs.

Mam of 4 · 13-10-2019 10:08pm

Let them have their wallpaper !

It's their house , their decorative decisions ffs !

They have 2 windows right next to the pane that will open.

el Fenomeno · 13-10-2019 10:09pm

Where is Dermot going to shoehorn timber slats in this week?

Cypher_sounds · 13-10-2019 10:09pm

Lads if ye don’t know by now all the budget malarkey is purely for entertainment on the show.

Most of the clients are well able to afford whatever extra costs arise, no problem.

HeidiHeidi · 13-10-2019 10:09pm

Does anyone actually live in that Monkstown house?

appledrop · 13-10-2019 10:09pm

Absolute madness. I dont care what fancy extractor fan you have you need to open a window to let out cooking smells!

LirW · 13-10-2019 10:10pm

Yeah I think a wallpaper like that with the right fixtures can look rather cool. They strike me as people that know very well what they're doing with decoration.

I thought Dermot said only the door would open ?

Dublin builder = teeth done

Mr.Crinklewood · 13-10-2019 10:10pm

Is there less advertisement breaks than normal?

appledrop · 13-10-2019 10:10pm

That house is so cold looking. No thanks.

neris · 13-10-2019 10:11pm

That house doesn't look like a home

Don’t worry they will, relax:pac:

sliabh 1956 · 13-10-2019 10:11pm

Im no architecht but surely when you work on and old house the roof would be the first item on my list. What they discovered beggars belief that this was not investegated more thorougly

ShamoBuc · 13-10-2019 10:11pm

I really cant wait to see what way the colour scheme works out.

Andrew00 · 13-10-2019 10:11pm

Two nice chaps. I hope the son doesn't get bullied in school by horrible people

HeidiHeidi · 13-10-2019 10:11pm

We're going to go with the colours we've chosen, and fk him.

Good on ye lads!

I don't like them particularly (esp the Irish fella), but I love them!

punisher5112 · 13-10-2019 10:12pm

Wait till Yee see the red lip couch...

Cringe

splinter65 · 13-10-2019 10:12pm

Glenn is an angry angry man, naked hostility here towards Dermot. Gustav better watch himself.

Yeh I would have thought so too . Or at least send in a surveyor first

I've seen that before - I thought they were going to say they'd flog it to pay for the roof! (it'd probably have paid for it twice over)

Icsics · 13-10-2019 10:13pm

That house looks like nobody lives in it, where is there stuff?’

Gustav is grand but Glenn is a bit of a nightmare.

HeidiHeidi · 13-10-2019 10:14pm

I just love that Skoda dogs ad!!!!!!!!

passremarkable · 13-10-2019 10:15pm

Chip on his shoulder that lad

sliabh 1956 · 13-10-2019 10:15pm

The whole budget thing is a farce the whole roof and wall /floor issues must have been factored in at the start the whole shock horror thing just makes good tv

Lol I know

But Dermot always thinks he knows the clients preferences better than they do themselves . Their home , decorate it as they wish to imo

Ffs waist height dishwasher.

Get over yourself!

I want a dishwasher at waist level...

iamwhoiam · 13-10-2019 10:19pm

That is utter madness to have to open doors to get to the oven etc

ballsymchugh · 13-10-2019 10:20pm

where does the steam from the dishwasher go inside the full height press? every time you buy a dishwasher you get that sticky plastic to protect the countertop that it's usually under.

HeidiHeidi · 13-10-2019 10:20pm

Dermot's favourite is like a fresian cow!

Mam of 4 · 13-10-2019 10:20pm

I'm loving that they're a bit off the wall in their choices , and really annoying Dermot in the process

iamwhoiam · 13-10-2019 10:21pm

The blessed door will have to stay open while the oven is on !!
