Can y’all PLEASE,PLEASE Do a show where you do updates on each of the buildings and families here in 2022?
Thank ouMichelle, you read my mind!
A very cleaver man but kind.ness is also very important
Clever, not cleaver!
Beautiful, I doubt if this young couple stayed together.
Yah, she won't stand up to him.
They married in 2013.. and appear to still be together. I am surprised as well.
Beautiful home, gorgeous really, would have been even better if they integrated George's ideas for convenience; If I have to guess Andy didn't want them so they didn't happen... he comes off as the type of guy who has the last say in any conversation or all hell breaks lose.
Anyhow, I don't think I could live in a home with so many floors. I've lived in 3-floor houses twice in my life before: First time I was a teenager so I didn't much care, I had all the energy in the world, second time I was in my late-twenties with roommates... you think you're still young and spry at 26 but then you have to go to the second floor for bathroom and kitchen (My room was behind the garage in the ground level), third for shower and laundry and you realize you are not as energetic as you were at 17---never mind a home to grow old in. If I ever buy my own home it wont be more than 2 stories, preferably 1, and Kitchen needs to be in the ground floor.
That crane's damage should not be his problem, the hire company should be ensured
I was thinking the same. I was like "Oh that sucks, but the insurance will take care of it." How is that company not insured?
Watched this a while ago on someone elses channel. the way buddy treats and talks to his wife/girlfriend, I hope she ran fast and far away from the idiot. To me she seems like the sweetest of sweethearts and he comes off as the biggest asshole dickhead one could ever dream of. No way that relationship could ever last.
Such a beautiful architecture for a circular building. And I love the beach stone floor on the top that Anna put in, so cool.
A dust and crumb trap. Keep a hoover close by.
I keep coming back to this. That staircase is beyond beautiful
No way is this couple still together.
That what I think too 😳
All those steps! What happens when they age? How to go up and down to access the important rooms like the kitchen and their bed and bath rooms? Guess it's too late to consider an elevator and some other convenient amenities. Well, good luck, guys.
I was thinking the same thing.
A couple I caregive for are 96 and 92 years old. They credit their good health and old age to having to climb the stairs to their home from street parking for over 50 years. They hiked it 2 to 4 times a day. Neither one has any pain or severe health problems. Both had parents who died in their late 60’s to late 70’s. Those stairs will add many years of health and life to this couple…they can sell when it becomes to hard on them.
I don't understand why they didn't use the central column as a lift shaft. It even had openings at every floor. They could have used some of the iron beams to fix the lift casing. Obviously they still need the stairs for fire safety but it would help for daily life.
I was wondering why the didn't use the big column to install an elevator...
This project was well organized but in the end the couple doesn't look happy. When I would have realized my dream project, I would grin from ear to ear. They don't.
tbf there shd also be a stairwell for safety, always.. ig if u had to choose stairwell or elevator, it's good to choose just stairwell I suppose
Yeah, don’t blame Anna for not adding in the changes he suggested - I get the sneaky feeling any of Her ideas were pretty quickly shot down, belittled, and overruled!
Call it a hunch.
first build where we went from stairwell to finished house in one jump- no interior process. Andy is a monster, I can see why he took no suggestions and walled his wife off in the kitchen. Dysfunction junction!
I wonder if she will be around for the long run
i had the same thought. the fact that he put in nothing to ease her labor in that house. can you imagine hauling the vaccuum and the laundry?? nuts! he doesn't seem like a very nice spouce type person.
Well if she ever gets pregnant guess who will be trucking the laundry up and down the stairs? His kid will most likely challenge him because parents usually get the opposite of what they want. This will teach him he ain't right all the time.
She’s an IT professional! Why is it her responsibility to cook and clean?
@@omeomy33 why should any one part of any couple be fully responsible for cooking, laundry and cleaning? it-specialist or not.
I doubt they are still together. The tension between them was so obvious and neither looked happy. He certainly did not incorporate any ideas to make life easier in that building which is also short sighted if its sold in future. Even George said he was surprised there was no lift.
All that work and it just looks like a series of dreary offices inside.
amazing architecture, but sad furniture. but it makes sense since their budget was tiny and the host kept trying to get them to spend more.
@@ursonate A laundry chute is cheap. It’s a tube. Intercom is cheap. They were popular in the 80’s. It’s inconvenient to be on the top floor and have to run down 4 levels to answer the door. I guess they can install Ring or other doorbell cameras later.
Yes I thought that, I hate the open staircase
Wow beautiful n staning project. Congratulations 😘😘😘😘
Kind of boring finish to me.. I was expecting more
Absolute Love for this
Breathtaking!
guy is a genius
Absolutely right. What an incredible blank canvas and a building that is built like Panzer tank.
Those antennas and cellular next door is a huge concern
Beautiful!
Beautiful.
Brilliant ,
Hire a night watchman. Far less costly than repairing vandalism.
When you walk in and look up its a block of posh flats and it is not child safe at all but then i'm not living in it ;-)
I LOVE the rock floor upstairs. Whatshisname was off with the judgy moment at the end.
Love
I was stunned they covered the brick... that ruined it for me. The roof top is stunning though.
I don't think they covered it in the stairwell, which was stunning I must say.
What is the music playing during the intro? I would love to hear the whole piece!
There should have been insurance on the crane, the family should not have had to pay for those damages done by the vandals.
AAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMAZING
❤
How arw they going to heat and cool it and at what cost?
Exactly!!
That's why all the rooms can be closed off so they can only heat the room they are in. They can even close off the kitchen from the living room. I live in a tiny house compared to this, but it's from 1936 and there is almost no insulation. I do it the same way. Only the living room is heated, the rest of the house isn't. Thanks to tado I now can choose to heat only the office or bedroom without the living room. I guess if people are used to heating a whole house, it'll take some time to adjust haha. I don't know anything else than to only heat what is necessary and at most prevent the rest of the house from getting too cold.
The view is great, but you have to stand to see it. It’s too bad that it’ll be missed when seated.
This could have been designed better. If a fire breaks out in the kitchen, how can they escape?
Great restoration,but the decoration is not good
I love this program, but sometimes I don't get the priorities.Ten minutes going on about cholera, while a simple 'water towers were being build to prevent diseases like...' and be done with it would be alright for a program about restorations of buildings. On the other side they visit another beautiful water tower to get inspired and all they show is a closet and part of a kitchen. I'd rather have them spend the cholera minutes to showing more of the other tower. I do like him to get into the history of the building, but this was more about anything else in history instead of the building and similar buildings itself.
I totally agree. I was frustrated as I wanted so much to see how that other tower was designed/furnished and... nothing...
Gor Blimey, guv-na. Top show!
I love it but am skeptical this all cost 200k. I would love them to recap how much they really spent.
Was a way cool structure, but they made it mostly normal and boring. Should have left some pipes and those beautiful old beams. And that last bit of cast iron: coffee table! I mean if you want to end up with a normal looking home, what's the point of starting with something interesting and trying to disguise it? Yeah, it still looks cool from the outside so I guess that's something.
Too bad he doesn't consider it Anna's home as well...anyone can see he doesn't.
Just the thought of bringing in the weekly shopping ruins the whole thing for me. You know he basically thought that he wouldn’t be the person cleaning, cooking, doing laundry, hoovering! And the shopping, so putting in anything that would help wasn’t even near the middle of his priorities. He does not care one bit about how it will affect her.
It looks like the only decision she had was the beach floor upstairs (which I love by the way) and he scoffed at it like she was stupid to choose it.
I hope she left before kids were involved so she never had to see him again.
Their knees are gonna hate them in a few years.
Don't have to worry about the in laws coming over or staying for more that a couple days.
I am all for renovating, but once the building is listed, the reconstruction is so rigid that they’ll lose more buildings than those that are restored.
Why do these people always invent those crazy schedules? As an architect I have NEVER done work on roofs before the end of march. That crane cost more than the delay in starting work a few months later 🙄
No elevator ?
I would have left the roof and beams
What over sized staircase with some room squeezed in
With that new ugly tower right next to it?
No way!
That poor girl. Afraid of open stairs...here let's put in open steps too. Not a home for kids but that's fine she has a nice view while doing the dishes.🤨
It would seem that the planning commissions would rather have buildings fall down instead of paying couples to save them.
Indeed. I get the impression that the U.K. has no shortage of officious twits standing in the way of anything and everything anyone wants to accomplish.
For those playing the drinking game, "it's fantastic, isn't it" occurs at 5:21 th-cam.com/video/53SYjf46fHE/w-d-xo.html
I don’t think Anna is too enthusiastic,I didn’t like that open stairway ,too much like a governmental building design ,It’s been 10 years wonder if they’re still there ,
There's a thin, brown line between anarchy and civilization.
Disappointing result. You have a beautiful building and nothing in there shows it off. It's not a home or creative in any way, Sorry but it couldn't get any more boring .
Oh dear right beside a big Mobile phone tower. I hope they know about YShield cos they will need it..
Noble idea but little actual living space. Folly. Divorce. Nearly impossible to sell.
Now, why this tower get a closed in roof area and other towers are not permitted, and yet you pay good money for the to save the buildings but yet they hold a person hostage. Seem a bit crazy to me, if I were told I couldn't with in a agreeable sense of salvation I would just tare the thing down and piss them all off, oops I guess I shouldn't have taken that support beam out.
30:16 F*** health and safety?
This place looks good not not for the kids 🙁
too many stairs, not for me, it was a waste of time and money imho
maybe british english and US english words have different meaning, but wouldn't a restoration denote bringing it back for it's same purpose or even be a historical restoration? which means that it would restored for the purpose of it's historical value. isn't this a transformation, remaking it into the same model on the outside, but transforming it into a home on the inside? again, maybe the british and US translation aren't the same. but in america, this would be, at best, a very loose use of the word. then again, who am i kidding? we in the US do the same thing. Use a word just because it fits the title, rather than the actual scenario. I just think it makes the producers and so on look stupid no matter who does it. I get that somethings cool and interesting are outside your box, but it's not hard to include those things and still be considered intelligent speaking. "I know we're technically a restoration show, but today, we have something a bit off script." see it doesn't take a genius
Not a child friendly home
Good! Not everyone wants a child!
@@kyrio5a the wife clearly says she wanted kids...her husband wasn't thinking deeply enough about their future
He said he would live there 10 years. She will get pregnant in 10 years or it will be too late or too risky.
Looks great but I assume they don't ever want kids, considered elderly parents or sudden injury or disability. Ridiculously impractical. Not future-proofed at all. Break a toe - they're screwed!
No thanks. It isn't a home .It is a collection of small, isolated rather ordinary rooms off an overbearing staircase. Totally impractical. And the guy is creepy. I kept thinking 'Coercive Control' in his attitude to Anna. She doesn't like open staircases so what does he do? George expressed surprise that she hadn't incorporated the devices he had shown her. Perhaps she wasn't allowed. He hated it when George commented on her flooring. Like the spoiled self obsessed little brat he is. He had a perfect lift shaft and he ignored it. l . She should have run down those stairs and far away. She seemed so cowed and worn down. That had abusive relationship written all over it. All they will be doing is climbing up and down those damn stairs to their cut off little rooms like a pair of hamster in one of those multi level cages. This wasn't a home, it was an manchild's ego trip. He would have done better installing a lift(That shaft was crying out for one) reducing the staircase to functional, and making 4 1-2 bed flats and renting them out. Then he would have had funds for his next manchild ego boost..
I don't like it ... so much space, but sooo cramped living, dining and master bedroom. No practical or/and wife input ...
Give the drama a rest man, don't buy the friggin thing if you're not prepared for some graft, it makes these programs boring
Except for that ugly tower next door.
The automatic siamese spectacularly trouble because teller certainly signal above a tame lycra. long-term, tender tense bagpipe
You're a tense bagpipe, playing a stupid tune!
