They have half the budget but twice the balls. They embraced the advice and ideas offered without letting pride get in between . The result is and amazing accomplishment.

[@ManWhoLovesTheMary]

This is my favorite episode of this series so far. Neil and Amanda work so well with Kieran and Piers and the results of practical meet dream in their dream home is mind-blowing.

[@johnasumaa8644]

Finally, a simple, lovely structure, built with a small budget and much work by the family. It is a pleasant alternative to the massive, super expensive, modern monuments to homeowners' wealth and egos. Nice, deserving, hard working, resourceful family, as well. Lets have more of the same.

[@sjefhendrickx2257]

Amen !

[@campeau29]

This is a great case study of what a self-build entails. The budget is always too short, the enthusiasm is high, and if the marriage survives all of the decision-making and arguing, then the design will evolve and a home is the product. The details and embellishments can be phased in over time. I've been working on my DIY house for 8 years since moving in, and it's still a joy.

[@paulsheridan1]

This is reassuring to hear. It's certainly inspiring to know how many others have successfully gone before. Thank you for candidly sharing your experience, de camp.

[@tommyd7371]

What a lovely couple - so humble and curious. I was really hoping that they would achieve what they were after. And great that Piers could guide them so well with the design. My favourite episode of the show.

[@zeferinoarroyo7673]

It brings me to tears what they have accomplished and how you helped and told the story... encouraging

this show is so far the best show in terms of building homes, not only the host are great artist they also help people achieve their dream homes with tight budget.

[@paulhayton3423]

Well done! cheers to the architects that gave them advice and encouragement..

[@ayaa382009]

This house is much more sensible and full of character. It is beautiful and far better than many houses that costed fortune in Grand design.

[@hinkenixon6043]

What a wonderful result - the architect, Piers and Kieran's sensitivity to the couples financial restraints and their assistance to them invaluable is how it all appears on the footage & is super supportive. I am so happy for the couple.

[@allanb52]

I really like these programmes where people use inititive instead of their wallets and this looked great, I thought of the big framework at the beginning, so "great minds think alike" ha ha! That chippy made a really good job of the frame, but bricks on the floor, bad idea, the kids would break their necks. £55k for that, brilliant! Lets have more of these and less of the pretentious cash flashers.

[@aaronreizner4489]

The most inspiring episode I've watched yet! Wish we had shows like this in the US.

[@brianduffy1338]

One of my favourite builds ever. The realism of financing coupled with the reusing and resourcefulness by this wonderful couple is truly inspiring. The home is lovely, comfortable and not that modern day repetitiveness of 'fad-styles' and 'should-look-like' builds. My hat is off to this couple for what they have achieved - and also to the support by Piers and Kieran for helping them realize their preference in a home while recognizing their budget. I sometimes find that one or both often present a little "architectural snootism" in their ideas of what people should do but in this case, I think they were quite helpful.

[@amoskumar445]

Thanks for the upload. It is seriously thinking out of the box and worth watching

[@zb7293]

I love the exposed beams, and use of the bricks...but sticking to his gun's for the floor is better for cleaning....

[@jillyjay94]

Thank you for another balanced video upload! 👍 I like the character of the house and loved it much more after watching the process 👌

[@estellereddy7135]

This has been my favourite episode. Neil talks about honesty of the design and that's exactly what the end result of this build was. Very honest and humble. I loved it.

[@007vsMagua]

The cement board exterior looks really nice. I might have planned the fasteners more symmetrical/linear using stainless steel screws and finishing washers.

[@jacko377]

I think that not only did they change their home, but that their home changed them! As they shaped the space that the space shaped them. Turning them into people more determined, capable, and sure of themselves.

[@paulsheridan1]

And their family blossomed as a result. That unique building experience, weathering such a challenging three years together, is priceless.

[@lebeaulabuschagne9608]

Love the wooden frame approach ❤😊

[@princeinfinix2165]

for an inexperienced guy...he nailed it. the house just turned out great

[@mysterioustravels4305]

I love the house specially the budget that they have it is really amazing. I am inspired to do this for my future house.

[@lizh1988]

This is just beautiful, so smart and an all around success. Using his own labor saved a lot, using the old house planks and bricks saved money too, but also added so much character and basically the look they were after in the first place, the integrity. An all around success.

[@donaldauguston9740]

This was fabulous. Thank you for posting. DA - Vancouver, WA

[@barbararankin5038]

Such an interesting build, such a hard working couple and a marvellous architectural team. I wish the all the very best!

[@issievdhorst]

seen. Better inside than outside. Not my taste, but I suppose they like it. For the little money FANTASTIC!

[@DL-by8el]

I love this, I wish we had that builder that did the frame in the us.

[@007vsMagua]

One says it's wonderful to see the full height of the structure from the inside and the other says your losing floor space. I think with a small space it's better to go for floor space. I would go with ten foot high ceilings though.

[@darrenruparel8964]

The husband looks like Will from the programme The Inbetweeners......

[@MariaAya]

So happy for this family

[@sandrawright9127]

😀😀😀we 'll done!xx

[@svietka202]

I absolutely Love with a bit of a house made with the planning is not exactly to my taste and neither is some of the furniture but everything that is exposed recycled is it right up my alley. I think the outcome is fantastic but I really wish he would have gone with brick flooring but at least I hope he used that on the whole outside garden

[@susannoonan1]

Wow!!!!!!

[@brandypurple3127]

Amazing 🤩

[@N-A-uw5fp]

Doing all of that work yourself was not free, unless you could keep your income. I would count the money I didn’t earn at my job as an expense. Great job! You should be VERY proud!

[@thehungrygoldfish]

If he’s a stay at home dad then it doesn’t matter because he wouldn’t have a job anyway. Not every household has two incomes.

[@ValeriaVincentSancisi]

this is my favorite house.. fantastic job!

[@gayfry899]

This is just beautiful!!! Thank you.

[@missismiggins7329]

"I wish I could fly right up to the sky" Fuck me, it's Orville!

[@jenny-ub9tc]

Is it common to use green timber in framing? doesn't it shrink and warp as it dries?

[@Mario7p]

but those timbers probably been drying for a long time, they just were not shaped yet

[@sonsaraeronnow4404]

Great floor plan, I am wondering has it burned down? Fast forward to time stamp 29:43....... Is the gas lamp still the light source in the bed niche? It surprised the hell out of me no one said.... DON'T DO THAT NEIL!!!!!!!

[@erikakozova3073]

Wow, what a great achievment, love it muchly!

[@b_uppy]

What is that floor at 37:57? Weathered old bridge beams. Was expecting wattle and daub, the real thing.

[@keirfarnum6811]

Use the bricks for an outdoor patio instead.

[@lcrain7840]

If he was going to hire a floor builder, he could have hired a brick cleaner and used the material he already had. Hope they enjoy the home in the end.

[@builderspluscustomhomesand2146]

LOVIN IT!!!!

[@flexiblebirdchannel]

Bad idea to run the stairs straight. Upstairs you have to walk around the stair to reach the rooms behind. Wasted space. The floor is much better than the bricks, and the bricks are used niceley. But now treat the wood to be fire proof ? Could be a problem.

[@dandetmer6336]

How do u afford 2 heat

[@vivalaleta]

I was a bit disappointed that this couple didn't create a round door for their home. (they're Hobbits)

[@pzpz2135]

Really wish he'd done the brick and wood floors. He cleaned the bricks anyway, and they look horrid on that wall. Rest of it well done!

[@enidchilders9713]

Where is the fireplace/inglenook ?

[@berlieannapalmer1187]

Weaving the two

[@milliebanks7209]

My favorite episode! Why did Pierce.not show this build first?

[@informationcollectionpost3257]

It looks a bit like living in ones unfinished garage but it's much more developed than that. It has insulation, plumbing, electric, and lots of wood. For 56,000£ or about $78,000 at a guess its an incredible feet. Is it for me, no ,but I have thought of building a post and beam from gluelam beams and some stained ply in portions of the building. A simple stamped & stained concrete floor with in floor hot water heat should be good enough. Internal or external framing is always a debate but continuous insulation is never debatable. The concrete board on the exterior of their house should last past their children's life time. It is just a good durable but inexpensive product. This inexpensive house is built to last.

[@bobwallace9753]

What I'm not seeing in these videos is the idea of expandable homes. Start with something like kitchen and living room with a sleeping loft and a bathroom. Build for cash on hand. When some additional funds have accumulated add a bedroom/whatever. Design the house to be completed in stages over years.

[@Kevin-sm8pn]

The problem is most of the couples featured on the show have multiple kids. They can't just build a sleeping loft and cram everyone in. They need multiple bedrooms.

[@Whatta33]

500 years ago not half a million

[@VB-lz5cx]

500 years is half a millennium twat.

[@guitardee1]

For a graphic designer he’s lacking imagination

[@richardgraham65]

Must be great to hear the person in the other bed (closed off with a curtain) farting at night. Not my idea of a bedroom.

[@jacko377]

They're not finished yet.

[@julianorenkertjunior2059]

The acceptable mall chemically fire because earthquake regretfully rely under a awesome printer. overwrought, silent beauty

[@thehungrygoldfish]

An earthquake in England? lol

[@leyaleigh5041]

So was it built for 50 or 100k? Fucking pick one.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

Most of the budgets were around 100k but obviously this is an exception. I say if it’s not considerably OVER 100k, then it fits with the show.

[@midgie4410]

Ew! My least favorite

[@fjklfdasdf]

Neil has a really unfortunate voice...

[@mybabba]

I thought the same, but once you get use to it, it gives him a sweet endearing quality.
