Should see my dad’s farm house. Think it’s like any where between 400-600 year old. The living room ceiling is about 5’9 maybe a little more. I have to dip under the beam in the middle and I’m 5’7 the door into in from the kitchen must be about 5’4 at a guess

my boat was built in the 70’s, it’s completley mass produced and they built thousands over the years probably. all with a ceiling height of 5’8. I managed to sink the floor in ours when I was renovating it but it’s still only 6’1 at the most. Don’t know what they were thinking.

I’d love an extended cut of this show where the rebuilding and restoration was the main focus, rather than the stories and the reveal. I just want to watch a craftsman painstakingly reshape some old lead framing for a stained glass window, not listen to some old fart waffle on about how he broke his grandad’s music box.

What kind of boat is it @niallc?
Always keen to see how people live in alternatives to standard houses

BBC4 should do this. I think they showed more of the craft when it was on BBC2.
Still the best shown on TV though. Never any mention of value. Its all priceless to the people in it.
There was one recently with a geordie guy who had his jukebox fixed and you knew how brutal it was going to be for the whole episode but I was still a fucking wreck anyway when he got to hear it working again. Love it.

I have lost numerous brain cells going through this door and smashing my head.

I’d love to buy it but we have the ground floor flat and there’s a really big 2 story flat in this lovely house as well, and with it being in a really nice location and having a massive garden, the whole thing is really expensive, totally out of my league.
Plus I like the idea of living by the lake for a while then maybe retiring in a forrest or in the mountains when I’ll be older and will have enough money to buy my own thing. Buying an old farm and converting it into a rad house would be cool. That or a cosy chalet maybe.

Have decided with wife to demolish our old summer house and build a new one in time for next summer. Some really nice prefab house companies here. Need something that fits into the general look of other houses in the area, something like this

So I use a summer house as my office, had to get ours rebuilt because the old one was ancient and rotting away from the underneath. The national companies that do prefab ones were nice but found a local company that did the same quality for 1/5 of the price and did full installation

We stopped in one whilst we were in Bath for the night. Was pretty cool, done it for the experience rather then a hotel. Do you travel much with it?

Bigger, better layout and cheaper than pretty much everything built in the past 50 years in the UK and Ireland.

not really, did a big jaunt from where we bought it to where we are now over about a year but have stayed in the same area for the last few months and foreseealbe future. Myself and my girlfriend both work in Oxford so stay within cycle distance of jobs.

Still cheap even if transport, construction and VAT pretty much doubles the list price.

Really tempted to buy a wood lathe. Would need to build a shed too though.
Any advice Niallc?
