Double Your House For Half The Money! Series 1 Episode 2 - FULL EPISODE 

✨💖✨Isn’t she just one of the most delightful, sweet, charming, beautiful ladies ever. Yes, I pray she finds much happiness in her perfect home. Who could not love a person who quips, “it will be so nice, that I’ll not cook in it at all; I’m going to live off of pizza.”

I wouldn't have. The downstairs would have been really dark and claustrophobic. I know they would have been bedrooms, but when it's warm I like to sleep the window open and wake-up to sunlight. They probably would not have been able to afford it. The house already had issues with damp, they would have had to take really drastic measures to prevent moisture from seeping in. Waterproofing is expensive.

Yes - I’m 5’ and struggle to reach even the second shelf in my cabinets. The kitchen people here have brilliant designers at no cost.

That guest photo wall is a brilliant idea!! I hope they read your comment. 📸

Tsk, tsk, tsk, exceeding budget is recipe for spending a lot for interest and if an income is lost can become an economic disaster. The increase equity has no value until time as sale, however property taxes would increase relative to increase in valuation.

Unfortunately, unexpected problems do occur. The issue of the wall ,due to moisture. The slide was a great and fun idea. Even though, they went over the planned budget. They have their dream home.

@@tamielizabethallaway2413 The house I grew up in was built in the 1930s so it was plaster directly on top of the brick. Brrrrr....

@@tamielizabethallaway2413 I love these stories!!!! Especially as regards buildings and how far we've come .... and how it was in the old days (I remember!!) ... and what menopause does to us.

@@tamielizabethallaway2413 Oh!!!! I am so sorry! I think I was in the middle (like not TOO bad. I've had friends who haven't had ANY problems!). (I'm 63) I remember a girlfriend who was older than me (this is years ago), who would 'layer' (dress) and in the middle of winter (snow on the ground outside), in the middle of a conversation, she'd begin stripping down and would say "My own personal summer... " !! I was so glad to have friends who were much older than me as I learnt so much from what they went through. I know there are things you can take to ameliorate the situation; NATURAL things, like Wild Yam. I take a Progesterone cream (made from wild yam), but there are lots of other things that do help. Go to your local health-food store and ASK their advice. I don't do drugs as a rule and prefer what's natural. ALSO, hot-flashes are triggered by Sugar, Alcohol, Stress ... so, if you can, CUT BACK ON THOSE! That really helps. I do drink wine occasionally and right after, BOOM! Hot-flash (but not so bad as I know a LOT of people have them). I will add a little water to my wine also. You just have to find what works for you. HYDRATE; drink more water through the day. Take time for you (even if it's only 5 to 15 mins). I know a lot of these things seem too easy or simple, but altogether, they help! Plus, there are herbs and roots. Ask! (or Google!). And ... GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Motorcycle cut.

Yes. Thank you. I don't understand buying period homes if you can't stand them and just tear it down and rebuild

Flusenmonster, I agree. Why not just buy a modern home. Doesn't match. I'd also pass a law about people buying bungalows and turning them into houses. Buy a bigger house people.

Yes they missed a good opportunity there.

She’s not that bright!

@@gerdavogel5287 the good thing about doing something for the first time. We learn, for the next project. The couple aren't handy but was willing to try. Especially if it saves money. We learn from trials and errors. I know I did 😁 Have a great day. Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

Wonderful take on everything. I was right back there with my mum's mangle. Times were tough then. Thank you.

The couple are of the generation of ''I want it and I want it now'

I wondered that as well, but when I saw her pride and happiness in her renovated spaces, it seems perfectly right.

because she wants to entertain and have friends over and then get married and have kids, God willing

Yeah I was thinking that, she is in a three bed house on her own but is extending the living room and kitchen out? But its her money so if it makes her happy then I guess its money well spent, I think I would have preferred a nice holiday in her place but each to their own.

Your living space is more important than your number of bedrooms, Lindsay did a great job.

Why not? If that’s what she wants, and she’s comfortable there, then it’s no one else’s business. It’s not as though she asked someone else to pay for it. I’m not about to tell a complete stranger what they deserve in the life they build for themselves. That seems terribly arrogant.

She was joking.

She was kidding because she already mentioned that she invited a lot of family and friends and cook for them. She also said she loved cooking.

Unfortunately anything with Sarah Beeny in it is annoying
