Having fully renovated a 100 year old home myself I can completely related to this wonderful couple. I think Kevin was missing the point, that building could have easily sat until it completely crumbled or required demolition. This wonderful couple gave it a new lease on life and did everything they could to preserve what they could within their budget. I think in a building like this the exterior is critical and they achieved that. The interior is wonderful and again they approached it with care and added new elements that will age well into the next 100 years. To me this project was a complete success.

As an "icon" to the local community and surrounds this couple did a wonderful job of restoration. As regards, the interior - which is their "private space" - I believe they have delivered a tasteful and fine result. It is elegant and most definitely a home! From an industrial building to a home - "Bravo Zulu!" Much respect to Leigh and Richard! As an aside, I would have tried to salvage as much of the old timber as I could for a number of woodworking projects 🙂 Thank you Kevin for bringing these "stories", these pieces of architecture to us! regards from South Africa

Fantastic to rewatch these older episodes. Thank You!

[@hannahmonkcom]

I hope these episodes keep coming, my morning (Canada) is so improved by them! And these two are my favourite couple yet! AND THE HOUSE!!

[@originalmaitaihuntergather6714]

Well said beautiful

@GranddesignsTV: You thing of beauty. Keep these coming. Uploading these full episodes is greatly appreciated! Much love from India.

[@karman79]

That's perseverance. This project could have failed or have gone twice the budget very easily. Congratulations to their hard work.

[@jimmytwizzle7836]

It never ceases to surprise me the short sightedness of so many of these people that undertake such large renovation projects.

[@brendalarsen4000]

Much love from ottawa, canada. Love grand design uk, really enjoy watching. Thank you for sharing.

[@jonasmichaelmoir9378]

Total success! Would love to see a return to this build now.....I'm sure, even better!

[@DIYGUY1-2-3]

What a beautiful job, incredible achievement, love it. WELL DONE❤

[@nicovanos]

Bless these people. They have done awesome work.

[@ninoellison7793]

Love this episode and this wonderfully sensitive couple. Only now can I relate to the concept of a ‘romance’ with a building as I take on my own renovation endeavors single handedly while trying to maintain the integrity of the original builders magnificent work and its design. It is literally a labor of love! 🏔️ 🇯🇵

[@Skedirahm]

I thought that this house would not have enough natural lighting but the from the final result, I couldn't have been more wrong. The house looks amazing and I am very hapy for them. Much love from Nairobi, Kenya.

[@rohana.wright3358]

Well done love it... Great work guys.. Congrats

[@olgasinelnikova2051]

Great job!!!!!!!!!!!

[@marzipanrose8664]

A brave couple, great work. Well done

[@olakruk4973]

He was too harsh with them, they could have demolished everything, yet they built on what they bought. Great job!!

[@gamelopedya7781]

In my opinion, the old mill stones on the ground (25:41) were one of the parts that needed to be preserved as they were... They were sacrificed just because they wanted to gain height. 40:45 there is a crack on column 😮

[@vincenarneodo8760]

It’s normal that old wood has cracks…..if dry and aged , that doesn’t compromise the strength and stability of the piece of wood

[@leelangley01]

Love this .

[@jorgesoarespereira1057]

Que obra de arte ❤❤❤

[@davidwiseman7774]

Completely agree with Kevin, they ended up with a nice home but sacrificed the integrity of the building.

[@tellyboy17]

Very successful project.

[@20EUR20]

💚 I could live there...

[@arzottbrof529]

superbe boulot j'adore

[@much60078]

Please add subtitles ❤

[@juanluzzi5267]

43:25 is the part I liked best. 🥰

[@parthkashyap]

Why have the episodes stopped ?

[@darylwilliams7883]

Every one of these restorations of very old buildings I have seen follows the same general rule: Whatever you think your budget is going to be, add 50% to account for all the problems you didn't see when you had your rose-coloured glasses on. That said, I'd undertake a project like this as soon was I won the lotto. :)

[@alkebulansan]

Could they not have treated the old timber and then used it as a veneer on the new beams?

[@sdkfz6790]

Çok başarılı

[@maryearll3359]

Would a survey have helped l wonder. ?

[@ceesdoornebosch9534]

Geen ondertiteling 😢

[@SuperMcgenius]

I’m 10 minutes into this video and thinking they should add another 100,000 to the rebuild. Hopefully I’m wrong.😅

[@SuperMcgenius]

Wow, I didn’t realize how much work they would do themselves, I think they saved them selves $50,000 minimum, well done.

[@lancemillward2462]

naive. but maybe they wouldnt even have started if they had known
