  • In this inspirational series, Sarah Beeny sets out to prove that anyone can have the home they've always dreamed about, even if they can't afford to buy it. Rather than making the expensive decision to move house, it may be cheaper to turn your run-down property into the home of your dreams!

      I have a Jacuzzi, & my house isn't that big. As for the idea of building "OUT" is much more expensive than, building "UP."
      Taking down interior walls is also VERY DANGEROUS, as you may by tampering with Support Walls. Even experts can sometime get it wrong, I've dealt with that, and as I warned him that I thought he was wrong about it, he had to suck-up the extra cost of fixing it. He then quit and I finished it myself. It turned out perfect!
      Another issue I have with these builds is, WHY DO PEOPLE INSIST ON COVERING BRICK? It's easier to maintain, & makes a house look much more Colonial..

      @@pjcampbell4143 Brick isn't as fashionable since the early 2000s. Building out is more expensive in the UK because land is a premium and foundations cost a lot. UK homes need substantial foundations. I'm also curious why anyone in the UK would want their home to look more colonial?

    The house we just bought has the laundry room upstairs with the bedrooms. I thought I'd hate it, but it's nice to not have to lug laundry baskets of clothes up and down the stairs. It's true--the dirty clothing, sheets, and towels are upstairs. On the main floor there's only dishtowels for the kitchen and hand towels for the half bath.

    • @jaybee4118
      @jaybee4118 ปีที่แล้ว

      Do you have a drier? I hate using driers because they destroy clothing so fast, so it doesn't appeal to me to have the laundry upstairs at all. Taking wet washing downstairs and outside to dry it seems so much worse than dry washing!

  • @NellBelle
    @NellBelle 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hi all, 7 bathrooms in a 5 bedroom house is crazy even in Texas. If you have the space usually two boys or girls in a joining bedrooms will share a bathroom with two vanities. Then the parents get a bathroom. The house has a powder room for guests and if possible a there is an bedroom and bath for guests. This is possible if you have the land, which lets face we have lots off, and the money. Otherwise 3 bedrooms and 2 and 1/2 baths are the rule.

  • @ahcaroline
