Room to Improve (v2)

Pretty sure a high up velux would mean it cannot count as a bedroom. Needs to be a second point of exit from the room with regs on heights etc.

eggs over the radiator. that cannot be safe

No dog

it seems strange to me they could sell the house and just buy a 4 bedroom house with 2bathrooms in another part of dublin house value 400k, and they have 300k =700k

i understand they like the area and they have young kids at school

they said the room is too cold no point fixing the shower

they,d buy a nice big house for 500k and build an extension if they need more room

isn't it kind of mad when you think about it, a full refurb/extension costing €325K and that's hoping it comes in on budget. My God that would have bought an entire house a few years ago. I bought my house in Kerry 2 years ago for €250K and spent about €35K putting my stamp on it, insulation, redecoration and new ensuite.

Crazy money for this couple, hope its worth it , they're a lovely couple.

OMG an old Tayto packet costing 4p!!! How long is that there, decades I'd say, that's an heirloom!

how the hell was this priced. if underfloor heating wasnt decided opon. now it a cavity block, that would be obvious from day one.

I see your point but it's a shower. Its not like changing tiles or carpets. A lot of inconvenience over that time.

seems like they haven't really thought the "open plan" concept through , or the sink, or the cooking smells in the kitchen. There are solutions to everything but they cost and these two are very stretched already !!

I wonder what the square hole in the sitting room floor is for. Would it be an access for sewers or something?

Wow. What a kitchen. Dermot eventually gets his beams.

Yep that's where the manhole cover used to be in the back garden if I recall correctly.

House looks nice inside now, particularly the living area at the back but I really don't like the exterior at the front or the exterior of the extension.

What gets me is how the dad was moaning about the clutter and no room for the gymnastics gear or small goal and he then sticks a pool table into the room 🤷

Are we ever going to see the new extension thats not built yet ?

Still its a nice warm house looks good with sliding door storage space

as always. went from first fix stage to finished house in the blink of an eye. all the talk about toilets, did we see what they went with at all

beautiful home for them, well deserved, a lovely couple. I really like the interior colours, especially the greens. I've used green a lot in my downstairs rooms, its calming and relaxing and brings the outside in. For me the cost would be very stressful on top of their mortgage but that's the Ireland we're living in.
