Yeah fair point, I do feel once you’ve committed to the design you prob get emotionally attached and they were prob thinking “this is perfect, if only we had a garden” and then bingo… hope they get it finished, they’ve both lost partners and don’t come across particularly smug or annoying, feels a bit mean spirited to mock (not directed at you).

That was partly me - as chaley said got the 2nd garage for peanuts and then decided to go ahead with the basement dig anyway.
Kids didn’t seem that fussed living in a dark hole but pressed on anyway.
Start of the show said we don’t have access to any other funds then borrowed off “family/friends”.
Whilst sad they both lost partners/kid’s parents that shouldn’t stop someone being able to express an opinion on what essentially is an expensive vanity project.

My take on the build was, it was a fab design for the very limited site they had. My issue was that once they had the larger plot they didn’t revisit the design to lose the money/problem pit, sorry basement. You only go down if you have either no space, or a massive contingency fund and/or are making a point. But yes he was heavily let down by contractors.
