the classic line.. "we want to be in by Christmas".....
Said it myself. Now I'm saying the lesser know "hopefully in by Easter"
What a beautifully done ruclips.net/user/postUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU ! The instructions and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Ryan got another winner! No one does it better!
Capability Jane. I admire you. Well Done.
I am VERY IMPRESSED. Great job Jane!
I wish George could go visit the homes again nearly 13 years later!
Sometimes look them up ..
I agree. I love post, post visits.
I suspect Jane had final had enough of her moron selfish husband and chucked him in the lake..
A brilliant job in project management. Jane, you are a true champion!
As someone who has over 40 years of tech experience, in all sorts of of areas,
I can say to be a project manager on a project like this,
and to have even come close to being on time and on budget she did a great job.
.
From what I understand building permits are very tightly controlled in Britain,
and I suspect this is either a Grade I or Grade II listed building ,
so every part of the restoration would have been scrutinized.
.
Probably Grade Two “Star” listed. It’s the highest grade below buildings of “National Importance” such as palaces, museums, bridges, etc.
She did an incredible job for under 500k. With the beautiful house and all of the land, that was a steal.
Fantastic job by Jane, not just the house and managing it and the interior design but not drowning her husband in that lake.
I would help her
At least he didn't decide to jump in and "rescue" her. Plus, she was dealing with a bunch of anti-woman laborers. Huge applause for Jane!
amazing renovation, one of the best finishes in the series. Jane pulled it out in the end
Aint it marvellous. There's no money but all of a sudden the show morphs to a completed project with a happy family, antique beds, hand made curtains, expensive lighting and designer furniture. I guess everybody lives happily ever after. I could also have guessed that the husband works in local government.
I hope you read my general comment above. You're right. Its just a formulaic show....but had I known that and that I'd be made to lie....I would not have agreed to the filming.
I LOVE the fact that the proper materials were used. WELL DONE!! Brava, Bravo!!! (Lime render!!!)
Congrats to amazing lady Jane on completing this beautiful renovation. 💯👍🏽🇯🇲😁
Gorgeous She did a Marvelous Job !
I don't think Richard is going to last too much longer with this lady .
I don't think he deserves to! She's killing herself, and he's picking at every little thing that isn't right, while doing absolutely nothing, and blaming his wife for the lack of progress. Don't forget, it looks like she's doing most of the childcare, too.
I admire the couple that they manage to be calm and in dialogue mode while communicating despite of the stress, the steep/problematic financial and physical pressures. They are able to celebrate even the smallest achievement. They attain immortal capital. God bless them
Thank you x
Have a great home sweet home in the managerie (hope I spelled it right)
The husband should have shown more appreciation for his wife's hard work than he did.
I agree he is pretty self absorbed and has no concept what she did.
Absolutely. Complaining he can, but not contributing to a house that he will live in as well, other than with money.
Yep, he's been a jerk.
Something very creepy about the husband 🤔
Lets be honest, the husband was a proper dick.
Absolutely loved the kitchen. And it seems like they saved the building, which is so beautiful
This house is just beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Pop a weather vane on top of the octagon dome, and you're done :)
A beautiful house! She has done an incredible job - despite her husband ;-).
I absolutely love the end result. Would you kindly tell us the colors of the kitchen on the walls and cabinets. I love the colors and the view and the cabinets. The Octagon rooms are amazing.
lol, fuckin' love this comment section. can't believe he didn't help out
Great house! Jane came through in the end. She was very positive but a poor project manager. The husband was a negative pain. The kids will love it but you need a dog, lol.
lol
Very interesting response from Jane about the duplicity in showing her as not coping.
What a beautiful home and the garden as a Gardner I would love to come and design I work for the parks and gardens I’m also a florist and worked in a stately home in the gardens its self Walton Hall in Cheshire xx
Hello Wendy, If you're serious please get in touch :)
cette femme est une vraie femme ; bravo madame
So sad to watch a wife struggling to do a job with no experience and an uninvolved husband who used his job to hide from this job. I really hated this episode.
I had one just like that and left after 30 years of his nonsense
Its a tv show. She told what actually happened in the comment section here
I think they played up that part a bit for drama. But I wouldn’t have minded seeing a bit of sweat equity from the husband. Most couples have husbands who pitch in and do more work themselves. But, he might have and we just didn’t see it.
@@robertahubert7474
I’m glad you saw the light, but 30 years?! You must be a saint! 😁
I vote for the little kid to be a site manager, “I have a bad feeling about this.” 😉 perspicacious little dude!
Given Jane’s purported lack of experience she did an amazing job, but it might actually have been cheaper, and very likely much more efficient and timely, to hire a project manager for all of the early stages until she got to the decoration. However given the made for TV drama that Jane described in another post now I see how everything was exaggerated in terms of filming. too bad about the falling out with the joiner , Another aspect or no question given the heightened dramatic requirements of the show. He seemed like a nice chap, but having all the trades there at once looked chaotic, and once again I think this was made for TV and not the reality.
I don’t understand why her husband was pushing to move in and determined that it be finished, but so hands off. instead he seemed to relentlessly pressure his wife. Now, I understand it’s a TV show and they highlighted, or more accurately the producers concocted, the drama.
It must’ve been highly distressing for the whole family to have to play a role in order to gain the products promised by the TV company. I was wondering about using the premade lime plaster and now I understand that that was given at a huge discount. Same for the bed.
They always play up the drama with these programs. It’s ALWAYS the: “it’s going to be beautiful but I have X, Y, and Z concerns it won’t get done.” It’s tv; what can one say?
P.S., I loved that kid’s delivery of, “I have a bad feeling about this!” line too. He was brilliant! The Harry Potter Production team should have hired him to deliver that line just before the Battle of Hogwart’s Castle.
Yup. Have a "man" managing the project and tye woman decorating... Disgusting the amount of sexism here and in the episode.
37:27 “I have a bad feeling about this.”
That kid is brilliant! Like something out of a Harry Potter movie. They should have hired him! 😆
Well done Jane
Can we agree that this lady is/was incredibly naive? To take on the role of Project Mgr & simply allow the tradesmen to come by when they feel like it only results in disaster. A good Proj Mgr is constantly on top of the builders & vendors.
I hope you read my general comment above. You're right. Its just a formulaic show....but had I known that and that I'd be made to lie....I would not have agreed to the filming.
Jane, you are an absolute star ...... congratulations on a job well done.
She shows she is not organized and blows the money upfront and then gets it done at the end; same old methodology; not a good way of doing things.
@@jesseccles6089 got bugger all support so I think she did well to achieve her goal.
Jane did a marvellous job.....and included her children on top, learning so fast ! Hope she made sure to reserve herself a decent fee for all the hours she put in as a project manager. He did not do a thing, kept pushing her to do more and talked in terms of "I" instead of 'we'. Lucky for Jane she has this video to proof it. I don't expect the relationship will last, I recognized her facial expressions, but he will keep the house for sure. Thank goodness she chose the limeplaster ! Cement would have been desastrous for the moisture regulation of the walls and causes the timber to invite woodwurm and fungus after some years. Historic brickwork always needs limeplaster to breath. Beautiful restauration, nice program !
My husband would get a kick on the ass if he didn't help me out.
Feel sorry for Jane struggling when her husband seemingly is of no use at all. She's a novice & needed support.
You dont sand the floors and install a kitchen untill after the scraping and painting of the walls has been completed.
Yes. Refinishing hardwood floors is always last.
Richard needs to take some of that money and buy a personality.
Jane is clearly struggling. Why isn’t her husband helping around with the managing? I know he has a job but his wife needs some help!
Jane was not struggling at all. This is a television show that desires drama above reality.
Great job Jane!
Very nice and funny on being stuck in bed slats
Love this show addicting
Awesome job Jean!
Thanks.
I verym6
I very munch enjoy binging on this British version of American DIY programs (I find it educational in terms of vocabulary and practical knowledge as I've been a general contractor. The production factor is a necessity for these type of prgrams.
George looks so young in this.
He was doing this in his school holidays that is why, HeHe
George Clarke is FIT!!!!
Sadly, was.
This most people’s dream home!
I'm of two minds: 1) Without a serious lottery win behind me, I would never take on a project like this, 2) Without people who ARE willing to give it their all, these houses would be lost forever. Some homes will be saved and some won't. Clare, Sydney
I really do not get it, it is quite a large building and there budget was not. Did they HAVE to restore all the rooms at once, could they not do half the rooms really well and shut off the others until they had more time and money? It seems a case of all or nothing when they could have better organised their budget and timetable. All she needed to make things worse was to get pregnant.
I am totally agreed with u
lol, that last comment was horrible XD
Hi Stephanie, I've written a generic response at the top of the thread (at the moment anyway) but just wanted to say we did shut off part of the house and not do it up, they didn't show that. Also, we had three children so we did up all four bedrooms. :) Its not as big a house as it looks really.
The drama was MANUFACTURED! We were lied to.
@@andreaandrea6716 All these life dramas are theatre like 'Escape to the Chateau' 'Storage hunters' etc ,,, it's called TV I suppose.
40:37 You can see in her eyes how she loathes him even talking about the decor, when she did all the work and he didn't lift a finger the entire project.
You really can! She is ticked off. The kids and grandkids might enjoy the house, but I wonder how long he will before she boots him out?
They chop and edit these programmes shamelessly. People who have been on Sarah Beeny's show say that they film you and tell you to stand and nod (sometimes you can tell people are nodding with no expression on their faces). Then Sarah comes and says things to nobody and they splice in the nods. Sometimes they show people nodding 'agreement' to some suggestion of Beeny's, and they never heard a word of it or it was suggested long after the possibility to do it. Then the narration says they refused her advice and went on with their own plan. So everyone shouting at the screen, 'Listen to Beeny!' have been totally manipulated.
They film you at different moments then splice together your expressions to fit the narrative. If you're looking worried about your mum, they film you on the phone to her and then narrate a frantic call to the bank to get needed funding.
Fantastic house, but painful to watch the project management
Yeah, i've never seen the walls finished and then call in the plumber and electrician.
@@MegaJohnson12 I hope you read my general response above. I can assure you the plumbers and electricians had their first fix completed before the lime plaster went up!
@@harrykeble1778 Wait... Isn't Harry the little kid in the family?
Bless them and there home
8:30 -- I would put off the clearing of the grounds until after the restoration of the house was completed; along with several other desires. Also. Why always the nearly impossibly short turn around time? 5 months? This should have had a 2 year time table (at least). Additionally the husband is an a-hole.
George loves his collars now doesn’t he? :)
Why the dead line is always on christmas?
Paola Gutiérrez the Christmas deadline drives me crazy! It’s always an unrealistic goal and crazy romantic .... ugg
I know right? Christmas time is already busy enough as it is. I sure wouldn't want to be moving on top of getting ready for the holidays.
Because it's a magical time of year
Richard has no appreciation for all the work Jane has done. He is a politician at heart.
I agree with you on the second part. However perhaps he did appreciate all the work Jane did. It meant he didn't have to!
@@midgie4410 I hope you are correct.
V lovely transformation
Oh my goodness, the debt these folks have taken on is so scary
"Capability Brown." What a perfect name.
Jane was paying these guys, and they have the gall to criticize her? They must not have needed the employment. If they had done a good job, the value of the advertising on nation-wide TV would have been priceless. After watching their whining, I wouldn't hire them if I lived there.
No electric sockets upstairs. What the hell was she thinking of?
Only on the landing :)
@@harrykeble1778 Why weren't you there Harry, to make sure that there electric sockets were installed upstairs ??? You wrote that de tv-people lied and that you were daily present to supervise ......gotcha ;-))
I knew a guy that worked in local government. He had a similar sized house. Planning Officer!
A bit like Hoskins. The dodgy Planning Officer in Blott on the Landscape by Tom Sharpe.
Well this guy was a child protection social worker...for a totally different authority.
how lovely
I love the 18th century. This restoration will be really nice . " La ménagerie Royale de Versailles" was a place the Royal families would keep very exotic animals. I would like to know if in the 18th century, this place was of the estate ?
Here's a hint make house water tight first, then fix the interior up, before tackling landscaping, finishings, fine furniture etc.
My self I use others cast offs found on the internet sites like Facebook market place, heaps of once expensive tiles, taps, sinks, toilets, plaster board, windows doors etc etc for free! Amazing that some turn there noses up but they are the very folks who want it all gone by the end of the week end.
Only this week a 20 Mt by 15 my shed was up for grabs before it got bulldozed next month you disassemble and take away. Roof 😁 build inside after it up. Save thousands. But here she is off getting bespoke curtains wth or shopping for stuff while over drawn it a throw away world people from isolation to drainage free or cheap as.
It needs travelling to go and get it though...and muscle power to load roofparts and complete sheds to be removed within a week....and a big remorque and a diesel van and all that....not as easy for her alone with two kids as it is within your life probably. I agree that he could have done it in the evenings and weekends. Or do it together.....
Her trades were just dragging it out.. She needed to fire some or all of them and get some respect.. Richard is along for the ride..not helping her at all.
right! she should've contracted better people that would help her better
These pommy tradies are like little kids acting up when no ones home. Wouldn't last in Australia
That’s why tradies from Australia never have trouble finding work there
I once employed an Antipodean plumber. He installed the toilet upside down.
There is a reason the knowledgeable wiser local gentry took a pass buying this. Without this show’s help, forget it. Plus, the maintenance and upkeep later?
would like to see the outside finished, it looks tired and in need of some love
" Restore the building for the next-generations " . Someone else " next-generation " . Those kids are going to sell the house the first day after their parents passed away.
@@Megan-nr7xe Thanks. Absolutely. They are wonderful kids. They still come back for parties with friends! Hope you see my more general comment and explanation above :)
You did save the house .bravi
so now that its 2020 what does it look like today?
I did a search and it looks as if, today, the family is not living in the house but have it listed as a swanky Air BnB. That's rather sad.
Hi! We lived in the house until the children left home. I live in a cottage in the grounds now.
That husband is so disrespectful towards his wife. She is working day and night on their new house, selling their old house, and raising their child. He is so unappreciative of his wife's hard work. "I won't move into an unfinished house." Alright, then roll up your sleeves and help out, you spoiled brat. Sure, you got a job. So has your wife, with everything she does.
many of these rehabilitation projects could be improved and a lot of money saved if they would hire a real project manager. every one of them is essentially a muddle-through.
George, I understand your advice to Jane that she continue to contact the various building trades to keep them working. But you have to understand that a woman doing exactly what a man would do walks a tightrope, stretched between being effective and being a "bitch". In reality, most tradesmen view an assertive woman as the latter. You have to be very careful in how you approach them. It's made worse when the woman is inexperienced. Jane needs to listen when a tradesman tells her a realistic estimate for work being done, but when they feel her expectations are realistic, they need to refrain from taking advantage of her.... And why did she start the project with the plastering upstairs? She should have started with plumbing and electric, so that the house had working bathrooms and kitchen. You can live in a house that has those. Then do the plastering as you have the money..... But, in her favor, she does learn how to do the job. Hands off to her!
Awful husband!
I was very "put off" by the expensive little buckets of lime plaster, instead of having a Project Manager" who did it by buying the lime etc and horse hair, but I am so glad I came back to it and watched all the way through to the lovely ending. Well done, Jane.
He is one who is paying bill's
No big deal if he's paying that's what most MEN do.
@@rosemariekennedy1899 Please read the rest of the comments! Jane (commenting as Harry Kebel) writes about how much of what we see is complete fiction. She's an experienced project manager who was forced to lie in order to get heavily discounted building materials ... like all those buckets of plaster.
@@worshipthecreator9081 Who is paying her? She seems to work harder and under more stress and he seems to profit from her financially when we find out what the house is worth after the renovation. Exploitation is the word that comes to my mind. He uses her to enrich himself, is my logical conclusion.
That poor woman to have such an unhelpful and unsupportive
jerk for a husband.
Worrying thing he's sired a child. 🧐
Normally I really enjoy this show, but this one was just painful. When it got to the point of her antiques shopping instead of managing on site, it just got to be too much for me to continue. That’s not simply incompetence, it’s also a bad attitude. Others on this show have come at it with a similar level of romantic optimism, but were willing to work hard for it as well. She could have been watching the plaster work techniques and pitching in a hand, she could have rented a cheaper place to live temporarily as others would do. With that said, I don’t think we ever see the whole story, and it’s unfair to judge someone else’s life, this was just less enjoyable than other episodes.
The drama was completely made up. Jane weighed in (under 'Keble'). Have a look. We were completely manipulated.
George is wearing a tracksuit around 15:00. Looks like the logo includes a stylization of FC. anyone recognize the brand or logo. Fc. football club?
What do you mean the tradesmen just disappear. Dont they sign a contract?
We need a lot funds for these reno’s! Why do people get in debt just for the sake of showing off?
Good grief,that husband!
Wait - why are they plastering over the bricks? Stabilisation?!
A dream come true.
I love the house congratulation
Thanks :)
Seriously, all these negative comments. It’s her project and her husband is paying for it,. And the decor is to her taste, not yours.
Thanks. I hope you read my general comment above.
Renovating a home is difficult for any couple. Being in essence the only person actively working on a renovation project. Jane tended to her family needs and a husband who should be providing some form of support instead of acting like a spoiled child. The lady deserves an award for not tossing her husband off a cliff.
Still don't see any outlets in the bathrooms haha
We bought a house built in 1956. Believe it or not it wasn't any outlets in the bathroom. My husband installed one. We are the 4th owners
I love it’s name
If we can believe her concern about her children shes a good mother. Id be sleeping in the mud if I ever had to depend on parents...everrrrr.
Does anyone else think that Richard is Russell Brand’s nerdy twin separated as birth?
curtain tiebacks done properly use 2 hooks per tieback..... NOT ONE
are these 2 still together?
Note: Henry Hammond, architect; Capability Brown, landscape architect. Right?
Surely she could have saved a lot of money by not using ready-mixed plaster and buying the powdered variety and getting the guys to mix it with water. Is that so hard?
guest bedroom drapes have been hung to low
Jane, bless her, was useless! It's easy to criticise with hindsight, but thinking that anyone with a chaotic and unorganised personality could successfully project-manage the build was optimistic at best. Serious alarm bells should have sounded for them both when the first estimate was so far short of the mark. I was also bemused as to why they spent a single penny on the grounds when the house should have been the priority. All that said, they bought it for a very good price and it seems to have worked out very well.
😘😘😘😘
Maybe George helped them understand why their home wasn't selling.
"Family bathroom" - is there any other sort of bathroom?
😂
premixed plaster for this sized job? wow- she needed some help
I hope you see my comment above. I was given that lime at a ridiculously cheap price in return for the TV exposure to the lime company. Hope that makes sense to you now. :)
