I really feel for Lindsay. I know what it's like to lose your husband and have to make so many big decisions all by yourself. So happy for her. She did it all right.
I hope she has a wonderful life and I am so sorry she lost her husband. May God's grace cover your life and His love surround you Lindsay. Watching again. Lindsay is so pretty.
✨💖✨Isn’t she just one of the most delightful, sweet, charming, beautiful ladies ever. Yes, I pray she finds much happiness in her perfect home. Who could not love a person who quips, “it will be so nice, that I’ll not cook in it at all; I’m going to live off of pizza.”
Turning the house upside down was genius. I think I would've gone for that idea. And though the slide is fun, I think I would've installed a lockable gate at the top to control the kids using it without supervision - at least until they were a little older.
I wouldn't have. The downstairs would have been really dark and claustrophobic. I know they would have been bedrooms, but when it's warm I like to sleep the window open and wake-up to sunlight. They probably would not have been able to afford it. The house already had issues with damp, they would have had to take really drastic measures to prevent moisture from seeping in. Waterproofing is expensive.
Two more lovely renovations. Lindsay is so charming. Glad she got a good builder. Great they showed what modifications are available. Great for anyone. Those over the range microwaves, for example ; lots of people can't safely reach up and use a step stool, not good. I hope she creates lots of new happy memories in her home. Lesson from other build: always have a contingency fund. And keep a bit squirreled away for repairs, especially if you own an old property. The slide is fun and genius. I would start a photo wall of all my guests sliding down it!
WOWEE! I want Lindsay to help me with my kitchen! I think she might have a new career as a construction project manager ahead of her- WELL DONE! AND Love the fold out wall and garden slide!
Lindsay did a great job, the other couple could learn a lot from her about spending! I have no sympathy for someone who has 150 thousand pounds but can’t manage to budget properly!
Tsk, tsk, tsk, exceeding budget is recipe for spending a lot for interest and if an income is lost can become an economic disaster. The increase equity has no value until time as sale, however property taxes would increase relative to increase in valuation.
Unfortunately, unexpected problems do occur. The issue of the wall ,due to moisture. The slide was a great and fun idea. Even though, they went over the planned budget. They have their dream home.
I grew up in a house that was plaster on brick. It was really cold in the winter time. Because of this, I'm not too sold on repointing and leaving the brick exposed on the interior. Especially if the interior and exterior brick wall is the same one.
@@tamielizabethallaway2413 I love these stories!!!! Especially as regards buildings and how far we've come .... and how it was in the old days (I remember!!) ... and what menopause does to us.
@@tamielizabethallaway2413 Oh!!!! I am so sorry! I think I was in the middle (like not TOO bad. I've had friends who haven't had ANY problems!). (I'm 63) I remember a girlfriend who was older than me (this is years ago), who would 'layer' (dress) and in the middle of winter (snow on the ground outside), in the middle of a conversation, she'd begin stripping down and would say "My own personal summer... " !! I was so glad to have friends who were much older than me as I learnt so much from what they went through. I know there are things you can take to ameliorate the situation; NATURAL things, like Wild Yam. I take a Progesterone cream (made from wild yam), but there are lots of other things that do help. Go to your local health-food store and ASK their advice. I don't do drugs as a rule and prefer what's natural. ALSO, hot-flashes are triggered by Sugar, Alcohol, Stress ... so, if you can, CUT BACK ON THOSE! That really helps. I do drink wine occasionally and right after, BOOM! Hot-flash (but not so bad as I know a LOT of people have them). I will add a little water to my wine also. You just have to find what works for you. HYDRATE; drink more water through the day. Take time for you (even if it's only 5 to 15 mins). I know a lot of these things seem too easy or simple, but altogether, they help! Plus, there are herbs and roots. Ask! (or Google!). And ... GOOD LUCK!!!!!
In my crystal ball I see lots of burnt butts in the summer ;)) Actually I liked Lindsays result more. The other couple`s renovation just isn`t for me. Maybe I`m old fashioned but a cottage has a certain charme, sadly it`s lost now.
Flusenmonster, I agree. Why not just buy a modern home. Doesn't match. I'd also pass a law about people buying bungalows and turning them into houses. Buy a bigger house people.
Such a shame really, that would have been the perfect site for an 'upside down' house! Not sure why Brits seem to be so opposed; I had a school pal whose family built one eons ago, when I was about 11 and I just thought it was the neatest thing & always wanted one, too! (That was England, of course!) Here, is a fab (over-budget!) home, but the living areas are marred with the lack of view & not being able to easily move from living to garden - I know that will soon get very annoying!
OMG! You do NOT spray paint IN THE WIND! And she will end up having to use 10 cans of spray where a small pot of paint and a brush would go on THICKER, take a shorter amount of time, look better, cost less and save her fingers from falling off (holding the spray paint nozzle down for a long time HURTS!). Not to mention how toxic spray paint is ... and for the environment?
@@gerdavogel5287 the good thing about doing something for the first time. We learn, for the next project. The couple aren't handy but was willing to try. Especially if it saves money. We learn from trials and errors. I know I did 😁 Have a great day. Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Buying a cottage and then complaining about small rooms and low ceilings? That is what a cottage is about and what a cottage makes lovely. I don´t get it!
17m16s - what was the resolve to the roof situation? >> in the center of the house, all of those gables{?} leading down to a flat roof ............ wouldn`t that lead to lots of roof-leak issues???
That slide is still dangerous. I think I would have built a series of tiered wooden decks down in that hole. Would have at least slowed down the roll of a,child.
I wonder why Brits have such a two-up-two-down mentality when it comes to houses? There are no rules that say you must have bedrooms upstairs, but they don’t seem to be able to get their little heads around it! Very amusing!
Lindsay made this show watchable… the other couple took up the majority of the show but were bland boring people who disingenuous and at best intolerable to watch.
I wonder if people choose not to make a choice like an “upside down” home because of fear of what their friends and or family would think. So very silly. Why have amazing views from the rooms you use during daylight hours when you can just go stand in your bedroom and look out the window, keeping others happy. So many people are afraid of new and different. How boring.
Yeah I was thinking that, she is in a three bed house on her own but is extending the living room and kitchen out? But its her money so if it makes her happy then I guess its money well spent, I think I would have preferred a nice holiday in her place but each to their own.
Why not? If that’s what she wants, and she’s comfortable there, then it’s no one else’s business. It’s not as though she asked someone else to pay for it. I’m not about to tell a complete stranger what they deserve in the life they build for themselves. That seems terribly arrogant.
These "We want. We Want" millennials would be horrified if they saw where I grew up and managed to survive with no huge house, garden or playroom.😄 And why do people never expect costly surprises when they start tearing up such old houses? They had to sell their Porsche.Too bad. Tragic that Lindsay lost her husband so young.

This story is about so much more than bricks and mortar…honestly, I teared up. Thank you.

I've always loved Sarah Beeney. Everything she s done, class.
hats off to Lindsay
OMG we're over budget and broke so let's get top of the line designer everything.
Two more lovely renovations. Lindsay is so charming. Glad she got a good builder. Great they showed what modifications are available. Great for anyone.

Yes - I’m 5’ and struggle to reach even the second shelf in my cabinets. The kitchen people here have brilliant designers at no cost.
That guest photo wall is a brilliant idea!! I hope they read your comment. 📸
Not gonna lie, that second house turned out really nice - great job creating a country house with modern amenities and finish
WOWEE! I want Lindsay to help me with my kitchen! I think she might have a new career as a construction project manager ahead of her- WELL DONE!
AND Love the fold out wall and garden slide!
What a future!!huge debt,not my idea of a dream.
When renovating ALWAYS HAVE RESERVE/CONTINGENCY MONEY -ALWAYS! In construction unplanned things always come up, go wrong, or require change.
Lindsay did a great job, the other couple could learn a lot from her about spending! I have no sympathy for someone who has 150 thousand pounds but can’t manage to budget properly!

Ms Beeny sure has a favorite jacket style
Motorcycle cut.
Lovely multi level kitchen 👌🏼

Sarah, I need you here in USA. I don't know how to search for someone like you to help me. Love your plans and ideas.
slide was great idea
"Oh, that's a good idea. How annoying." :')
Love both transformation! ❤️

Yes. Thank you. I don't understand buying period homes if you can't stand them and just tear it down and rebuild
Flusenmonster, I agree. Why not just buy a modern home. Doesn't match. I'd also pass a law about people buying bungalows and turning them into houses. Buy a bigger house people.

Yes they missed a good opportunity there.
Both renovations were so good and the result are so beautiful homes. The second kitchen with the open concept is so good.

What 150, to over 200, not so smart! It is a nice home !
Lindsey 🏠
How will that slide handle a lot of rain? Hope okay.

sarah is well cluedup
How I hate advertising!
Most houses are 25% too small, but this show focuses on doubling the space. Hmmm.
Wonderful take on everything. I was right back there with my mum's mangle. Times were tough then. Thank you.
I wonder why Brits have such a two-up-two-down mentality when it comes to houses? There are no rules that say you must have bedrooms upstairs, but they don’t seem to be able to get their little heads around it! Very amusing!
I hate exposed brick INSIDE a house.
Lindsay made this show watchable… the other couple took up the majority of the show but were bland boring people who disingenuous and at best intolerable to watch.
The couple are of the generation of ''I want it and I want it now'

Why have amazing views from the rooms you use during daylight hours when you can just go stand in your bedroom and look out the window, keeping others happy.

Lindsey is a lovely lady but why does she need all that space ?
I wondered that as well, but when I saw her pride and happiness in her renovated spaces, it seems perfectly right.
because she wants to entertain and have friends over and then get married and have kids, God willing
Yeah I was thinking that, she is in a three bed house on her own but is extending the living room and kitchen out? But its her money so if it makes her happy then I guess its money well spent, I think I would have preferred a nice holiday in her place but each to their own.
Your living space is more important than your number of bedrooms, Lindsay did a great job.
Why not? If that’s what she wants, and she’s comfortable there, then it’s no one else’s business. It’s not as though she asked someone else to pay for it. I’m not about to tell a complete stranger what they deserve in the life they build for themselves. That seems terribly arrogant.
Loved Lindsay's renovation but the couple were so of the generation of 'I want it and I want it now' (boring and annoying)
These "We want. We Want" millennials would be horrified if they saw where I grew up and managed to survive with no huge house, garden or playroom.😄 And why do people never expect costly surprises when they start tearing up such old houses? They had to sell their Porsche.Too bad. Tragic that Lindsay lost her husband so young.
Did the homeowner say;"I will never cook but eat pizza everymight"/ Why bother to renovate then?
She was joking.
She was kidding because she already mentioned that she invited a lot of family and friends and cook for them. She also said she loved cooking.
I've tried to like this show, but just can't
Unfortunately anything with Sarah Beeny in it is annoying
