Has Grand Designs done Cobb & Log constructions with load bearing walls?
I know they've done thatching and a fair bit of heritage work.There was one a few weeks ago with a log cabin of Finnish design - this one.

Thank you, missed this one.

Folks with NPD (Narcissistic personality disorder) need love too -- and the internet is the only place they're likely to go looking for it without getting punched in their pretty faces?

As someone said upthread, PAS is basically guaranteed to be full of Grand Designs fans. Don't worry, it was out of your control.

they were only pushed into using that space (the room where they put the T Rex) because there was a Law Society do in the events centre end of the building
That would have been the Law Awards - the Grammys of the legal fraternity.
(They're not run by the Law Society)

@TomSemmens
Oh and seeing how the Brits build things on the Living Channel - largely unreinforced brick and mortar held up largely by gravity - I pray they never have an earthquake over about 5 on the Richter scale.
Plenty of Victorian two story villas in Dunedin built the same way are still standing despite all the earthquakes they have been subjected to. Not many of them still have their chimney's mind. I remember being in bed in our first flat on the top floor of one in a big wind and feeling the house sway as the chimney stack did. I mentioned it to the landlord and he and his wife were around to demolish it quick smart.
Even in old wooden villas it's the chimneys that go in the earthquakes. Not many earthquakes here in the UK though. Been years since I felt one and our chimney (1965) is still in fine nick. The old wooden villa we had in St Kilda didn't have its chimneys any more, we found them buried in the back garden, right where I wanted to put the veggie garden. We had a potbelly instead.
