“Lighthouse” di Grand Designs ‘Finceous’ vende finalmente dopo anni di tumulto

Didn’t that episode end in divorce mid way through?

I recently saw this episode.

It’s an impressive building, but the guy lost everything to get it done. He poured all his money into it, which wasn’t enough. He took out huge amounts as loans. In the end, his wife left him and by the time it was done he couldn’t afford to keep it.

>The reduction followed the discovery of serious structural issues with an older driveway built in the 1960s, which serves the adjoining annexe, “The Eye.”

>The collapsing edges made it unsafe to use and caused multiple sales to fall through. Owner Edward Short even considered borrowing £2 million to repair the drive before a buyer was found.

Considering a huge part of the cost was making it so the main property would continue to stand, and be accessible, as the cliffs eroded below, not reinforcing the other driveway seems like an oversight.

Edit: if anyone fancies watching the episode, [Channel 4 have uploaded it to YouTube.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWjAGTx-nsU&ab_channel=Channel4Homes)

OK. So we all know that when you’re on Grand Designs Kevin carries on with the partner, while the guy builds the house working long hours and absolutely destroying his body. This is why they always have a new born or one on the way in the segment where he pops back to see how they’re getting on. The guy building the house obviously isn’t doing it, he’s using all of his energy building a house by his damn self.

My question is this: why you *purchase* a Grand Design house second hand, does Kevin show up to try it on with your partner as part of the deal?
