Definitely enjoy those more too. That one where the kids were hyper allergic to everything was really interesting.
Got to say though, if I were building a house I'd go as big as my budget and space would allow. It's so nice when you go to countries where space isn't the issue it is here and you've just got room to move and breath.
You also leave scope for your kids to flog it to a developer to convert to "luxury" flats once they move you into a home because you didn't properly think though mobility issues before building.
Liked the finished house on grand designs, but not the process.
Also why do people build such big fucking houses? Half the problems in grand designs would be eliminated if the house was half the size.
Find I like the houses which are more constrained by issues with the site and that have to come up with creative solutions to overcome them.
