  • I'm not sure I'd spend it on making my house a bit nicer

    Especially if it means your garden is reduced to a small square deck.

    But yeah that work is on the face of it pretty high spec. Not entirely my cup of tea but it does make go ohhhhh. Fun seeing the pictures of it being put together too.

  • At the time I totally would have gone for it, and destroyed the garden, but I am so glad I didn't! I'm loving having outside space, even before being locked away for 6 months.

    When I was buying I saw quite a few places that were done like that, extended until their gardens were nothing and they were horrid, full open plan that was done badly and felt like aircraft hangers and a bunch of vellum windows which dont let enough light in, not for me.

    Edit: that aesthetic is everything I love/aspire to, problem is I am not that person, I have far too few zeros at the end of my savings and I am incapable of brushing my teeth without getting toothpaste on my t shirt.

    Yep. Saw some shockers in our search. Ended up going for the place where the rear reception and kitchen / dining are still separate with the later being extended out the back of the house to accommodate a better sized kitchen. Owner was like 'yeah some people want to spend all their time with their children but we didn't'.

  • It looks cool but unless they’ve done something very clever with the bits not in photographs, I bet it sounds fucking horrible - every pot banged or raised voice is going to make you want to leave the room.

  • you come under the aspiring middle class slide on my Keynote
