Room to Improve (v2)

RTI The Musical? "Tada, I forgot to order the metal beams for the third time this series" sung to a dramatic air with tap dancing?

I would love to see RTI revamped - I would get rid of Dermot and introduce a new architect to the show. Im sick of Dermot pushing his own agenda for every house - his tiny minimal chipboard kitchens which are of no practical use for families because he's not into cooking, tiny utility areas etc. I would love also to see revisits to see how previous clients are finding their homes. I bet alot of them had problems with the designs and have changed certain aspects already.

There's scope there for a 2nd show on home renovations IMO. One that deals with what most of us are going through with small refits and piece by piece retrofitting.

It needs a presenter who is capable of listening to clients and explaining to us in laymans terms what the differences in solar heating vs. air source heat pumps and why one is more suitable in a particular application than others.

Also go to people who retro fitted some years ago and see how they get on.

Can also do what RTI did at the beginning and refit a kitchen, garage, attic etc.

RTE won't change RTI too much as it's a big seller for them, but the projects are so big now that they can only do a few programmes a year and that must give them food for thought.

This sort of **** is really depressing for people who can't afford to change their homes or can't afford a home or even rent. Also throw in a load of adults who have to still live with their parents because of same. Or have to emigrate to find a place to live.

It's really bad taste by RTE during a housing crisis.

Delivering one now personally in my Porsche. 🤣🤣🤣

There isn't much on TV anyway 🤣

I’m watching Brentford v Liverpool at the moment.

Should I be depressed and feeling morose because I’m not good enough to play for a Premiership team and earn €€€€€€ per week?

On that basis they shouldn't have shown Dallas, Dynasty or Miami Vice in the 80s when we didn't have a pot to piss in, and when it was hard enough for young people to get a visa to visit the US.

I dont like Roisin Murphy as a designer either - I know she is working to a budget but her designs are usually very poor even for a low budget - most of the time the rooms she updates end up looking unfinished. Again she inflicts her own unique taste on everybody else which doesnt work because being honest she doesnt have a good sense of style (IMO) 😂- sometimes you can even see the disappointment in their faces with what she has done to their rooms. She does seem like a nice genuine person though.

oh for christs sake, knock it down!

Nooooooooooooooo!

But then my house is on the 1836 ordnance survey

Cowboy builder just throwing stuff into the project and therefore onto the bill without asking for permission let alone quoting in advance.

He must have been an apprentice with the gangsters building the Dublin Children's Hospital.

Your man is off to Kosovo for 6 months. The wife and his sister are taking over the build. And the sister has a look as someone who takes no ****.

The cowboy builder best friend will be thrown off site before the end of the show.

Conor has fierce notions about himself .Typical officer.

Dermot doesn't want to put in a big window and also wants to use fins to break the view up into smaller views?

Who are you and what have you done with the real Dermot Bannon?
