    I'd be open enough to large windows and sliding doors because you can always get blinds. I'd like a small living room tough.
    I wouldn't like wooden floors in the kitchen and uncomfortable boxy/square couches.

    Do whatever he wants, what's the point in paying to get him in if your not going to listen to him

    I'd try not to let him make a spa out of me.

    I was just going to say the same. He wouldn't get within a ass's roar of the house.

    It would be a sliding door. So, you could squish him!

    I'd end up with an inner courtyard, a flat roofed extension, a folding glass wall to let light in and make the outside space part of the living area, concrete floors, a plywood kitchen and a €150k overspend.

    Of course, I wouldn't want any of them.

    Well, gloryholes would be essential and I have a great love for a stainless steel jacks. Other than that I probably wouldn't allow him to make a TV show on it.

    I remember there was one house with an old lady and he put a steep step at the entrance to the living room.

    Was that not the one where the blonde wan shoved the mother in law into the opposite end of her own house to the one she wanted? Then insisted on a door to keep her there? Think the husband was a GAA player and his medals were hidden in the study.

    What gets me about shows like this and Grand Designs is the amount of people who don’t put bannisters on the stairs. Literally anyone can miss a step or slip on stairs. I can’t fathom sacrificing safety in the name of aesthetics. Work the bannister into the design, people! Challenge yourselves to make it fit the look.

    I will NOT hear a word said against Grand Designs!

    I love Grand Designs. It’s great. But I have plenty to say about many of the houses.

    No, it wasn't that episode.
    That woman asked to be left at one end of the house and Dermot put her at the other.

    I'd let him practice on the neighbours house and if I liked it I'd let him do mine.

    I’m currently in a hotel room in Bulgaria that has a clear glass wall on the bathroom:

    You press a button and it goes opaque. But they don’t tell you about the button (it’s hidden behind towels), I spent the first day wondering what kind of freak designed a room that let you see the toilet from the bed. Even though I’m here on my own, it freaked me out.

    Perhaps compliment that with a couple of coin operated erotic video cabins, with a utility close by for storage of the jizz mop.

    Now, now. Lets not make it distasteful. The other side of the gloryhole would obviously take care of any jizz cleaning issues.
