Anyone else an avid fan of Martin & Lucy?
Such a simple format for a show; find brickholes, find buyers for brickholes...see whether buyers make money or not - bingo!
I've got a very good eye for building, so I'm almost always there or thereabouts when it comes to the budget and timeframe. You can always tell the DIY bluffers who confidently claim they'll renovate their new purchase for ?ú5k and in only 4 weeks :ross: When you come back to them later, they're scratching their heads wondering why it took ?ú15k and 3mths
Then you get the ones who - 4yrs later - still have bags of sand and timber beams littered around their driveway; taken on much more than they could ever chew. Sometimes it's planning delays, but more often than not you can tell they just lost interest and enthusiasm in finishing off the project.
Best episode I've seen was a couple of chaps who made a ?ú380k profit after renovating some gaff in Chelsea; they added on a stunning extension with fully retractable glass doors right across the width of the property. One of them was a kitchen designer and you could tell from the finish that that cost at least ?ú50k itself.
Have 50 episodes on my Sky+ :ross:
