I do watch Grand Designs - it's incredible what people can do, what they do do, and sometimes you wonder why no one pointed out to them that their ideas well, need some "refinement"...
There are some beautiful creations (a castle in west Yorkshire (Peel Castle I think) was particularly good once finished - now a guest house that is entirely booked for the next year or so), and there was a dreadful one where someone built a gothic castle like something from the Adams family, but Kevin Mcloud pointed out that the fireplace was going to take over half the living room!
Things like ground exchange (?) heating look a good option, tho expensive when someone forgets it's there.
