    My next house will be all steel and concrete. Any ideas for 'low maintenance ' ?

    open plan so you can use a Roomba (and put a cat on it)

    Just caught up with it on the RTE player

    Thought considering that its home of the year that we might have seen better standards tbh.

    Some of the passive houses ive read about (yes I know the 2nd one in the west cork programme was passive) - would destroy most of these houses imo.

    It remind me of an all Ireland hurling championship without Kilkenny tbh.

    The Tipperary cottage was nice imo - and so was Eva and Geralds house last week

    Hopefully the standards of the homes will improve.

    Yes I know that sounds VERY picky - but as Helen says at one point when being critical of something or other "this is home of the year"

    The majority of the houses WERE very nice - but I don't think most of them are doing justice to home of the year - if we are thinking the best home should win

    I do love converted churches.

    I wonder is it the one that was in Grand Designs?? Or are they all "newly done" houses? (Because that one was a few years ago)

    Not liking this.

    It's a style that doesn't sit well with me at all.
    It seems even his wife doesn't even like it.

    "executed to pure perfection"


    The kitchen doors are all off square and wonky looking. None of the doors are hung correctly :confused:

    Meh. Take the setting away and the house is average at best.
