Tue, Sep 02, 2014

Rob Hodgson and Kay Ralph plan to build a very modern white home on a cliff top in North Wales.

Peter Berkin has a problem. His hobbyist ambitions have outgrown his workshop which can't accommodate the airplane he's building. But that's not his problem. He'll just build a bigger workshop.

Dreaming of a river front house Andy Bruce has finally found a house he can afford. But it's not the greatest. It's terribly run down because it's on an island in the Thames that is totally submerged every now and then. But does Andy walk, or should I say swim, away. No. He'll just build a house the floats.
