@@TheJamiebaby15 There is an irony there.

In fact, if you store something in a closet/storage unit outside your home, for me that means you don't need it at all. If you don't use something for 6/12 months, give someone or throw it away you don't need it if you don't use it. simple
There are exceptions to this rule, like seasonal decoration (which can be solved by using as little as possible to create the effect you want) or tools that are very handy when you need them but just don't need very often (renting tools a few times often costs more than buying them, hiring somebody to do something because you don't have the tools for it is even more expensive)... But in general: yes, if you don't use it, either start using it to find out if it actually adds value to your life, or get rid of it, but... Don't throw it away, give yourself a limited time frame to sell it before you donate it (no it doesn't matter "it's worth a lot of money", if nobody bought it in a few months time, it's probably not worth as much as you think), or donate it.
@Old Film Clips Yeah, I'm far from wealthy either, I use multiple decorations for multiple seasons, but doesn't everybody have that stash of inherited christmas decorations that's way too much to use all of it every year?
I skip seasons with my clothes, I either buy hippy or classic. Some years I do classic and some years I do hippy so I keep my clothes for a very long time.
I almost cried when the grandma walked into the living room. How thoughtful and nice of the family to be so giving to their parents. To think elders get sent away into nursing homes for simply being slightly “inconvenient” to some families, and this family said heck no to that option.
my takeaway is that a psychologically healthy family can manage living together. if any adult member is abusive though, this home becomes abusive for everyone
The section for the grandparents is really lovely. Bright, warm and spacious. The bathroom is very attractive while being cognizant of grandma’s needs.
I was so annoyed by the other couple because the solution to their problems could have been much simpler. 1. Just declutter!!! 2. Consult a doctor for the snoring! On a brighter note, it was a great home transformation. The multi-generation house looks great as well.

Yes they went from a one step entryway to a full on staircase! Let us not forget that they should have built a deck off of the living room with those open doors.
What a beautiful family home the multi generation family made. Its a shame more people don't live together like we did years ago. I wish them many years of happiness ♥️
What a good concept: Double your House for Half the money! Great workmanship to. The Grannyappartement is spectacular! And also the other spaces. Really astounding! Although I must say, the the problem of the sound insulation should have been foreseen by Sarah Beeny's Team!!!
People that keep their stuff always say to themselves Ohh we might use that again, Or, It might come back in again. Every excuse under the sun to not get rid of.
You have to remember that in the future, the grandparents will probably need a lot more assistance. With that in mind and with the addition of England's weather, probably not very plausible to have to go outside to do so
They already have a large one, & it's stuffed to the gills. Bigger house, more sheds, underground storage unit, next step renting units at a storage facility....there will never be enough storage for them. They will stuff every inch of space they obtain, & always need more.
Grandma finds it difficult to walk and will need a wheelchair soon, so let's move the street level entrance to a 10 step porch on the side of the house, oh, yeah and we don't need banisters there... hope the tv crew just got there before the end of works.

@@sct4040 no. I've posted what it is, called a Thornwaldt cyst and it's a birth defect. I hope he gets it treated?

A lot of charities like Goodwill and salvation army have you come extremely fussy about taking donations. First organized then decide what you're going to need or not because we do waste too much stuff and just throw it into the landfills
The baby gets his own room, but the little girl has to share with her parents?? 1) Those children are young enough to share a room. 2) Nice that between the couple and grandparents there was plenty of money for that renovation. That was a major renovation.
@@livia.creates I think you might have misunderstood my point. I was saying that was a very expensive renovation. As far as housing prices go in that area it is probably seen as an affordable option. I'm just highlighting that these shows (in general) often find people with more money than the average person. The circumstances here are that the home and land is already owned and maybe with the money they saved living with the parents the mortgage is not that bad. Considering the Great Recession and now the Pandemic it does make you worried for the older parents... if the younger couple defaults on the loan they may all be homeless.
When I was a child we had a very small bathroom, therefore we had a half bath with inbuilt seat. Better than just a shower and great for bathing children too.
It's just the way houses have been built traditionally in the UK. Loft space wasn't even intended as storage to start with. There's some rows of terraced homes that have been built where the roof isn't even divided between homes!
Brilliant programme Sarah! I have loved any programmes of yours that I have sen over the years. Clever layout and clever storage is all you need if your house is in a location that already suits you. G (Ire)
I like this show much more than some of the other series on RUclips that feature architects who turn every home into a cold, stark contemporary one no matter what the original style is or if it's compatible with the other homes in the neighborhood.
Oh my god these homes are so well built! Brick walls are hallow framing in the US. Floors are all just plywood and not the wooden boards. There aren’t any fancy moldings or anything. It is seriously the bare. Minimum. For 99% of houses.
Well, built yes (most of the time at least) but it does have reasons it's a pain. It takes ages for them to be built and they are harder to extend, as this show demonstrates. But in the UK we have very few natural disaster type things, usually flooding is the only one likely to hit homes. British brick homes in an big earthquake, for example, would be a nightmare!
Snoring can be indicative of a serious sleep apnea issue. Husband should study Patrick McKeown breathing instructions initially, lose weight, and ask his doctor for a sleep study to ensure his oxygenation level is sufficient during sleep! Heart disease can follow if not addressed.
Hopefully the husband will also seek some help with his snoring. This can be a clear sign for some severe sleep issues and possibly sleep apnea. A sleep study would be best. I love how thoughtful they put together the bathroom for the older couple in the multi-generational home.
No handles in the old lady's bathroom to help her in the bath, shower, the loo ? Didn't they get a consultant for a disabled friendly bathroom? It is essential!
She forgot to say go through your things and get rid of those things that you have not used in the last year or are no longer in use by your family. Get rid of stuff, if you're putting stuff in storage you need to ask is this something we're really going to need or use or someone else could put it to use..
Can someone explain how they have 5 bedroom house, and their kids have to sleep on bunk bed that's covering the window? And what did they get on that attic? A room with a mirror? Goddamn.
It’s so different there. In Canada we have so much lumber. We construct walls we can insulate. I have no idea how you manage to keep heat in a home that’s cinder block walls. Where’s the insulation ?
Eileen Kelly, it's concrete blocks, insulation, then bricks. Rains a lot in England. Wood would be no good. Bricks keep the rain out. Expensive to build though. The houses are really warm in winter. I live in Spain and I freeze in winter with the central heating and the heat exchange part of the air con on.
@@marilynhaughton1955 we get a lot of rain and dampness here In Canada and talk about cold ....... come see me in January / February then there’s the March ice storms : so much fun : not
Eileen Kelly, Hi I visited Canada in the early 90's and stayed with a boyfriend's family in Oshawa. Then we visited a cousin of mine in Mississauga. Had a really nice time. Lovely country. Put on nine pounds in three weeks with all the eating out and b.b.q's.
Jonathan Rigler needs a sleep study done. I put up with my husband snoring for 10 years before I convinced him to get the study done. He was put on a CPAP, and no more snoring. Don't wait.
It's really nice that the one couple was able to make a proper living space for the grandparents all on one floor. But I wonder, how does the grandmother get into the house? It seems as if there are steps needed to get up to the first floor.
Yes. Seek some medical help! I would hold out on separate bedrooms as a very last resort. No matter what people say, separate rooms put couples at risk of falling into the habit of leading separate lives. I know several friends that bitterly regret "doing the reasonable thing" in taking two bedrooms.
@@AG-if4uf he has a thornwaldt cyst that is in his sinuses, I've posted info to help him get this item treated and healed out of his body. The CPAP mask doesn't do anything to cure the illness and ultimately it will kill him bc it will eventually stop his air flow. My Ex has this CPAP, and we've treated our son already, so now that I've been diagnosed? I'm trying to get my job back so I can get myself and our son treated. When I googled info on the thornwaldt cyst? I found an abstract posted from a doctor in Brazil who used a diode laser to cure a cyst in a woman who was about my age and her cyst is about the same size as mine, which was seen on an MRI and I've just been released from the brain team after a brain tumor.
I am reading the comments and many of you talking about the mental issues when people have too much stuff in their home but in reality I have faced this problem as when you throw something out of your house then Co incidentally you need that stuff afterwards 😁. To be very honest sometimes the stuff we keep have some emotional involvement in it. Sometimes the thing is very expensive so we don't want to throw it. I am against hoarding things but sometimes we do not know how to reuse the things in best possible manner and that is why they go to storage room and become heavy burden.
Homes are so different in the USA 😳 The open concept, vaulted ceiling style is everywhere. I realize this was probably filmed years ago though, Scottsdale,Arizona USA.🌵😎💕
Clutter is the most expensive item in our households! It costs a lot of money to acquire, a lot of money to store it, and even more money to get rid of it. We are currentyl pairing down and found out, that we actually need just a third of what we have!
If you insulate well, hard wood flooring isn't a problem... It is typical in all homes in Germany and Scandinavian.. But then we have concrete houses... Not thin wood frame houses like in the UK. Clare needs to declutter... Most stuff in the attic looked like it could be got rid of!... We use 20% of our stuff 80% of the time!... Time to declutter.
De-clut-ter it’s free and has the bonus of actually solving the problem in a way that doesn’t bite you is the bum later. They would have been better off sending round the minimalists! The shed is a terrible idea, it’s not climate controlled and I just hope animals don’t get in there!
How to get out of that bath is the problem, especially the slope! We got rid of out jet bath p, the little ones have a fold away bath. Showers suit us now, I have a shower chair in my shower. Easy and safe. 👍👍👍👍👍
The first order of business is a sleep study to confirm sleep apnea which can stress the heart and therefore one's entire health and longevity. Of course, the treatment is one of those C-PAP machines which is also a distraction to sleep.
Yes! CPAPs aren't great for many years of use- most models push the jaw back even further into the throat over time. The cure is putting the jaws, face and tongue back into proper position. It can be done quickly with double jaw surgery or more slowly with devices like an ALF; advanced lightwire frame. The "Orthotropics" youtube page has some good case studies showing how teens' airways were improved by growing back into correct alignment over time. Myofunctional therapy can prevent the problem in children. I'm a middle-aged woman. I'm six months into a slow alternative to double jaw surgery using a palate stretcher in the maxilla and a similar device in the mandible. It has already made a noticeable improvement letting the jaw come forward. My teeth are finally getting the room they need. It's addressing the issues that classic orthodontics ignored when I had braces (twice, for years) decades ago.
They could rethinking their shopping habits! If you store something is because you are not using it. So why store it? Detachment would help them a lot!

The loft conversion is lovely, however, the sleep apnea is a condition that needs to be addressed medically to avoid long term health consequences.
A CPAP for him would resolve that and maybe save his life. It’s made a huge difference in our family as we have several family members needing them.

The ideal solution is to downsize and declutter that stuff.
Use the bathroom as is, save and expand the bathroom later on.

@@marilynhaughton1955 unbelievable ! That’s where I live North Oshawa. Lol. GTA small world. Glad you’re loved the bbq’s !
In the second house- was there a ramp for grandma to get in the house with her wheelchair?
It looks like it will be easy to add a ramp when Iris starts needing to use a wheelchair.
Love it. Only thing wrong is the rug which she could trip over and fall. I myself, would remove it.
Jonathan Rigler needs a sleep study done. I put up with my husband snoring for 10 years before I convinced him to get the study done. He was put on a CPAP, and no
more snoring. Don't wait.
Thank you so much for your video.
That bungalow is stunning.
It's really nice that the one couple was able to make a proper living space for the grandparents all on one floor. But I wonder, how does the grandmother get into the house? It seems as if there are steps needed to get up to the first floor.
That’s what I wondered
I love 3 generation living!
The second solution is stunning, exquisitely decorated, awesome
Well, such a snoring problem needs a doctor and CPAP mask. Though, an extra bedroom is always a plus point.
Yes. Seek some medical help! I would hold out on separate bedrooms as a very last resort. No matter what people say, separate rooms put couples at risk of falling into the habit of leading separate lives. I know several friends that bitterly regret "doing the reasonable thing" in taking two bedrooms.
He could have sleep apnea , he needs to see a Doctor
Doctors don't know how to solve that problem. They are only trained to treat it. Expensively.
Just need to lose weight. 10kgs can make all the difference.
@@AG-if4uf he has a thornwaldt cyst that is in his sinuses, I've posted info to help him get this item treated and healed out of his body. The CPAP mask doesn't do anything to cure the illness and ultimately it will kill him bc it will eventually stop his air flow. My Ex has this CPAP, and we've treated our son already, so now that I've been diagnosed? I'm trying to get my job back so I can get myself and our son treated. When I googled info on the thornwaldt cyst? I found an abstract posted from a doctor in Brazil who used a diode laser to cure a cyst in a woman who was about my age and her cyst is about the same size as mine, which was seen on an MRI and I've just been released from the brain team after a brain tumor.
Thank goodness it’s all going to work for Iris and her family. I love it. X
@Patricia Kelly
What a nice and positive comment :)
Yes, I too, wish them all the best.
Mansard roofs for every conversion and it gives you fabulous headroom.
"Essential for storage". Yes, I'm sure they really need and use all that dust-covered junk piled in the attic.
Wow super cool transformation of the rebuild whole home 😍😍😍
I am reading the comments and many of you talking about the mental issues when people have too much stuff in their home but in reality I have faced this problem as when you throw something out of your house then Co incidentally you need that stuff afterwards 😁.
To be very honest sometimes the stuff we keep have some emotional involvement in it. Sometimes the thing is very expensive so we don't want to throw it.
I am against hoarding things but sometimes we do not know how to reuse the things in best possible manner and that is why they go to storage room and become heavy burden.
Homes are so different in the USA 😳 The open concept, vaulted ceiling style is everywhere. I realize this was probably filmed years ago though, Scottsdale,Arizona USA.🌵😎💕
I love how the grandmother exclaimed in her new bathroom, “you don’t see me nude very often, huh?”😜
Clutter is the most expensive item in our households! It costs a lot of money to acquire, a lot of money to store it, and even more money to get rid of it. We are currentyl pairing down and found out, that we actually need just a third of what we have!
wondering how a chair would enter the house? a ramp on the side?
If you insulate well, hard wood flooring isn't a problem... It is typical in all homes in Germany and Scandinavian.. But then we have concrete houses... Not thin wood frame houses like in the UK.
Clare needs to declutter... Most stuff in the attic looked like it could be got rid of!... We use 20% of our stuff 80% of the time!... Time to declutter.
I love how she was holding onto those Brown boots “mine” lol
Fantastic end results. I am so happy for them all. Great episode indeed. 💜🥰🇨🇦
De-clut-ter it’s free and has the bonus of actually solving the problem in a way that doesn’t bite you is the bum later. They would have been better off sending round the minimalists! The shed is a terrible idea, it’s not climate controlled and I just hope animals don’t get in there!
How to get out of that bath is the problem, especially the slope! We got rid of out jet bath p, the little ones have a fold away bath. Showers suit us now, I have a shower chair in my shower. Easy and safe. 👍👍👍👍👍
The best thing you can do is take a picture of the things that are sentimental and them sell them!
Make a little photo album.
So instead of building each of their children an own room, they made a huge extra room for the snoring husband?
Yasmin Otter, the children ended up with their own rooms the girl in the pink the boy in a sort of turquoise room.
The first order of business is a sleep study to confirm sleep apnea which can stress the heart and therefore one's entire health and longevity. Of course, the treatment is one of those C-PAP machines which is also a distraction to sleep.
Yes! CPAPs aren't great for many years of use- most models push the jaw back even further into the throat over time. The cure is putting the jaws, face and tongue back into proper position. It can be done quickly with double jaw surgery or more slowly with devices like an ALF; advanced lightwire frame. The "Orthotropics" youtube page has some good case studies showing how teens' airways were improved by growing back into correct alignment over time. Myofunctional therapy can prevent the problem in children.
I'm a middle-aged woman. I'm six months into a slow alternative to double jaw surgery using a palate stretcher in the maxilla and a similar device in the mandible. It has already made a noticeable improvement letting the jaw come forward. My teeth are finally getting the room they need. It's addressing the issues that classic orthodontics ignored when I had braces (twice, for years) decades ago.
Fantastic
They could rethinking their shopping habits! If you store something is because you are not using it. So why store it? Detachment would help them a lot!
Granny is adorable
it's the acoustic chap for me
Love what you did …
I can't believe people spend 300 000 without consulting an architect. And those very complicated roof lines cost a lot. More than a load bearing wall
TheEmbrio looks like they changed the roof to a Hip Roof. Very nice.
Beautiful
Poor Sarah, found it hard to keep professional and had to fight back the tears
Cramped spaces?!? There’s plenty of space in those houses to bring with 🤷🏽♀️
Very well done
