Gone right off Grand Designs. And this follow on program.
It used to be very good,all sorts of DIYers and oddballs.
+Strange projects.

I still watch. Hoping to glean something useful.

Now it's just uninhabitable glass boxes with posturing brain dead
architects.
They always run out of money (some bloody architects, can't even cost
a project)'

An architect will always maximise the site potential! I think it may
be an ego issue:-)

A brain dead Kev always does his pessimist thing first.
At the end goes round swooning over some ****ty glass box
monstrosity, that's in dire need of instant demolition.

Formulaic TV. Find out what brings in most viewers and repeat ad
nauseum. The ****ty glass box only works if you overlook 1/2 mile of
open country and the sun never shines.

I always use SS screws outside these days.

Don't try undoing them. They usually break off at the weak point
behind the head.

Or are so soft that the heads strip. I find the roundhead ones
much harder and have yet to break one.

Yes I've had that.
You need a completely unworn screwdriver bit to avoid it.
And lean on it hard.
