Double Your House For Half The Money! | Series 2 Episode 8 - FULL EPISODE 

The boat transformation : the hard work & dedication, the fact that the guy single handedly (literally) made it happen for a fraction of it's cost, all this & making it as eco-friendly as it gets is absolutely mind blowing, chapeau bas.

The boat transformation and price is remarkable!

That barge and couple are my favorite of this whole series! I love the hard work and dedication, the idea of reusing good material and saving tons of money! It was stunning. Thank you!

To think he did alll the work by himself🤯🥳wld loveee to see the conpletr renovations

The boat is spectacular - I’m so jealous, but more so awed by Ben’s hard work & ingenuity! Beautiful.

I couldn't live in all of that purple and glossy black. It feels more like a bordello than a family home. It's not mine, though, and the homeowner seems very happy with it and that's what counts. The barge conversion is amazing--especially because the homeowner did all of the work himself and used recycled materials. It cost practically nothing, too.

Best episode yet, I really wanna see the finished boat house.... Even more I wish that brave man lot of luck and wealth.

The fact that a completed boat house would have cost them £1 million to buy and yet their buy price and renovations when finished would only be £60k is quite staggering.

im hoping the Plummers get another chance to show the barge off when its finally done hugsssssssss from Canada

Love the new house with drop-on loft, but not sure I could live with all that purple/mauve.

This barge conversation is epic such determination and a spectacular one man renovation. Making this easily the best episode I've watched. Brilliant 👌💖💕🙏

The barge conversion is amazing 😯🤯 wow!! What a talented man and imaginative couple

Boat house is so so impressive. Recycling at its absolute best. And DIY skills outstanding. Very exiting to see.

I would have loved to see the barge completed! What an achievement! (And I love the skull wallpaper!!)

I'm loving that barge house!!!! I hope in my life time I can make something like that. Maybe not so big. LOVE IT!!

The amount of PURPLE I see in Britain's houses, in Interior Design (see ETTC especially), is ... sociologically interesting.

So that house, lol. I guess as long as they like the way it turned out, it does not matter what anyone else thinks. Thanks for the episode.

i love Ben, what a mench! such great attitude, such great workmanship. OMG-i wish we could do crushed glass in Israel! plz go back when they r done with the boat house-we all want to see the bottom part finished.

The lavender kitchen/purple rug in the living room not my taste but.........astounding increase in living space so well done. Using recycled materials for the barge and doing all the work himself is incredible. I love this man and his work ethic and dedication to sourcing and using found materials to create a unique fantastic living space!!!

A very non-conventional makeover episode. I love how both turned out. 👍

Hat off to the boat project! I looooove these kind of people! Great job!

Ben is a PHENOMENON! Just an absolutely stellar human being. I know that scavenging, recycling, repurposing saves money, but it also is the the most fabulously ETHICAL way to move through life. I LOVE the boat build. Wow.

The Barge. Stunning! The interior design is beautiful and timeless. That man is a keeper.

Great if you want a gothic disco. Why can't the pole go in the bedroom?

The barge is spectacular! I am so impressed with the reuse of so many materials. The house is great too. I think the dog may hurt himself by trying to jump over that door. He might be happier in a different home.

this episode was so full of original people -- love it

Hope to see the barge completed - would like to know how they managed with the utilities & practicalities of connecting to The Mains - amazing job!

GOOD JOB! I LOVE THE BOAT , BEAUTIFUL!

Love the boat build! Find the dog a real home!

That barge is brilliant. The house with the added loft needed differently colored trim near the roof, either match the grey, or go darker.

Credit to both couples.The barge is beautiful

Oh to have a lot that size. Raised beds, couple fruit trees, fun.

I like watching your program you are making people dream come true.

LOVELY HOUSES ! LOVE THE DESIGN!!!!!!

Great boat house! The world will eventually be covered in water. It’s a great idea.

Call him mad if you must, but Ben is a visionary. That barge is a tour de force.

Ben and Catherine's home is phenomenal..

Beautiful

In a few years the pole dancer is going to look like her husbands mother.

Beautiful 😍 just incredible 🚢.

That boat conversation wow .

I love this show

Wow. He did it! And with a broken wrist. Oh what can we do by copying his work ethic and perseverance. I am quite proud of him and he is not even related to me. Go figure.

I'd love to see a follow up on the boat.

Love this show love Homes Under the Hammer particularly

Not realistic for most guys..... Ben is a professional and he is playing in his backwaters, no pun intended.

you and the families got really nice ideas ;-) it's a pity that we just built a new house (which of course is also lovely ;-) )

Purple goes graet with gold and gold can go with silver, you just need to decide which one will be the dominant one.

I'm surprised that, with all that room, they couldn't squeeze in a bathroom or loo upstairs

Love the episode, but waaaaay too many ads 👎

Put as much bedrooms in that boat as possible.

The boat is stunning!!! So tasteful!!! And that bungalow ended up with awful interior design!!!((((

The dance pole in the middle of the room is for exercise? Really? It's not working and she's just vulgar. I see the dog got locked out. Nice. Hats off to the boat builder! Wow. Stunning. The countertops made from old glass are gorgeous!

omg, the second house is so trash 90s!

Why the lady keeps the dog away now when she has a lots of space? Not fair to dog to put in in a such small space so she can have clean floor 😡🤬 Edit: the house inside is soooo ugly! Pure kitsch

I like the Ed Hardy House, except I’d put the skull paper in a different room

Loved the barge conversion even only semi finished you can see the quality of work done and his attitude of saving by smart buying did not cheapen the end result. Quite liked the bungalow conversion but not taken with the colour scheme used. Purple is so 1980's.

Bordello interior mmmmm

The boat is fabulous the House is buck ugly

Sarah beeny Rocks love to house that you wouldn't let them live in it and have wedding receptions there

I wish there's an update with Ben house

👏

The introduction is kind of creepy. But I really like this show.

She’s a bit hefty for that pole?

No accounting for taste. Yikes

Ever heard of a dog house?

yep, no thanks. The pole in the living room speaks volumes about those two. Enough of this episode.

She’s not capable of being a project manager.

GET A DIFFERENT CAMERAMAN! When we go to see the end results, the camera moves WAY too quickly and we don't get a chance to REALLY SEE all the work that's been done. The shots are choppy and way too fast. Just as I'm beginning to look at something, the shot changes to a completely different scene, then changes AGAIN. There's a lot of extraneous stuff we DON'T need to see, but what IS REALLY IMPORTANT, is the work that was done and I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT! This reminds me of young, inexperienced models who, when they should be standing still, out of nervousness (and not knowing any better), keep shifting from one foot to another.

Pole dancing for such a large woman - NO!

Have to stop watching, the decor sounds awful & the pole ugh
