Does an extension of that extent not need planning permission?

Absolutely.. but sure there's always retention

jay0109 · 05-01-2020 10:44PM

600k! There's money in architecture and TV shows.
It'll come in a couple of hundred K over that no doubt

raspberrypi67 · 05-01-2020 10:45PM

demolition is the best bit and the reality check...

350k to 600k - where do you just find 250k

Ah should just go to a similar in Dalkey or elsewhere that is grand and just needs a bit of a touch up. Drumcondra is not up there is it? Overpaid but who paid. Anyway....

But this is Telly Almighty.

vladmydad · 05-01-2020 10:48PM

Surly he could pull in some favors from all the suppliers and builders he’s given publicly to over the years.

I'd imagine young kids in school and involved in sports clubs a big factor in staying around Drumcondra. Very difficult to move further afield in that instance.

Drumcondra is a fairly leafy area.

I wouldn't normally watch this stuff but a house that cost the best part of 900k plus another 650 in rebuilding it.

The good times eh?

griffinlee · 05-01-2020 10:49PM

Amazing he actually only moved prob 500 metres from his old house

For 1.5 million in Dublin I would want to be able to hear the sea hitting rocks at the bottom of my garden

jos28 · 05-01-2020 10:51PM

Drumcondra would be a great spot to live. I heard Dermot being interviewed about moving a couple of years ago. He said that they had outgrown the house but wanted to stay in the area because of his kid's involvement in sports, school etc

appledrop · 05-01-2020 10:52PM

Mad money 1.5 million for a semi-di.

Drumcondra nice but no house in that area worth that amount of money.

He isn't spending 600k or anywhere near that .
The show is fantasy ,all the figures are just plucked out of the air.

Surely he could pull in some favors from all the suppliers and builders he’s given publicly to over the years.

Himself and those boyos have made a fortune over the years off the gullible people on his show.

raspberrypi67 · 05-01-2020 10:53PM

20 years experience....lets see if it pays off...hmmmmm

el Fenomeno · 05-01-2020 10:53PM

Did Dermot get some work done, or some botox just before this part (week 3)? His eyes look a bit suspect!

honeybear · 05-01-2020 10:54PM

Programme missing his wife’s involvement and I can totally understand why she might not want to be on tv

awanderer · 05-01-2020 10:54PM

It makes so much sense that he chose Patricia as his QS. I always found her impressive at her job. She was always fighting the customers' corner and didn't let Dermott or the builders impress her. The following QS all seemed much too aware that they were on a TV show staring Dermot. Patricia was on a building site working for the customers who paid her.
It is sad that the first comments made about her here were about her teeth.

I agree. Plus he wants to keep half of the interior as well and acknowledges it'll be a mix of old and new.

Personally (and it is just my opinion) I think that's ridiculous. You want the whole house to look uniform.. Not the obvious "and here's where the extension starts" - unless of course that's the point for bragging rights?

I'm not much on art!

Atlantic Dawn · 05-01-2020 10:56PM

I'd go pipe at the back of the house, nobody is going to be making comments on the pipe.

honeybear · 05-01-2020 10:57PM

Suddenly I’m loving my own little abode

the_pen_turner · 05-01-2020 10:58PM

only a fool would funnel the water into the middle of the building.
why didnt he put another wall outside so that you have 2 cavities and hide a pipe in the outside one.
