A couple with no building experience take on somebody else’s abandoned project.
In the second episode of our West Country tour series, Roger drops in on Nikky and Stuart to see their significant barn conversion which was abandoned by the previous owners.
Can this couple complete it?

Roger is a legend He knows what he’s speaking about and doesn’t mince his words. Wish these guys the best. I worked on a steading conversion about 10 years back. Had a grain drier in it That had to be removed etc. We had bats and birds of prey Job took years to complete. Well worth it in the end but a hard slog
go on england
maybe the previous people removed the roof to avoid council tax ?
Quality content Rog , wish I was back in uk I'd come down and give them a couple of weeks . looking forward to the next episode. 👍
What a great project, good luck to the owners in getting it completed, they have alot of hard work ahead of them.
I worked on a converted horse stable block years ago and every time the heating was on you could smell horse p**s, lovely.
Would be nice if they reengineered the water wheel doesn't have to be big and use it for powering free and sell it electricity. Is the river still running?
I don't know if there an issue with smell if you wash the the bricks with chlorine peroxide
Let it dry and cover the wall with tongue oil to seal it should be no smell repeat the tongue oil every 3 to 5 years
And that probably will be only up to about 6 ft can't see the urine would go any higher
To me, (15:47) Roger, was reminiscent of James Cagney.
Standing there, as he entered the building, arms outstretched, as if to say, "you dirty rat, where's the tanking?"
Rodge, you remind me of my mates dad. Commands respect and people listen when you talk, because you know how to listen. Very professional video as well….Reminded me of grand designs a bit. Top respect to you and the team. 👊🏼
Like a more down to earth Kevin Mcleod 😁
look forward to an update 👌
Nice one, competing with Grand Designs😂
Envy episode.
Lovely job 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
So much more informative and interesting than Grand Designs.
the fellas face dropped when you said about it not being finished in his lifetime 🙂
Very enjoyable. Looking forward to the next episode
Excellent content and hard grafters again. Thanks Roger
please pardon my ignorance. I have heard that while the output from the sewer system may be clean the sodium levels in the output water may sour the soil after 7 years? Best to rotate where you discharge the output?
Their building reminds me of youtuber Carl Rogers and what his dad has done to a 300 yr old French chateau home…
Kevin Mcloud ain't got shit on you Roger.
EXCELLENT!👌
Great video Roger. I would like to see some videos on the build up to this point in this project, if there is any footage available & regular updates on this build – let us call it The Big Barn Build!
Im Not a builder , and im never going to build my own home but this series is Bloody brilliant congratulations and Thank you.
Hi Roger. What an amazing couple , and a wonderful project . Really enjoying the series Roger , and your interaction with the various people you interview. Best wishes and kind regards as always 😀👍👍👍
They've definitely got a lot on. Good luck to them.
I'm glad Roger asked what a leet was. I've heard that term many times in the south west, mostly on Dartmoor. 😁
Cool project.
Really impressive build that, the services are bordering on commercial. I'm probably not too far from them would love to give them a hand if I wasn't deep into my own project
Deep pockets required & lots of man hours. Good luck folks.
I’d like to ask about that ring beam.
Does it have to be poured in one go or could you stagger the sections?
Also how did you determine the height of beam needed?
love the idea of Roger driving around looking to bother people 🤣
This episode is like skillbuilder meets grand designs! Perhaps we might see Roger wearing a turtleneck on the next one! Watch out Kevin McCloud!
This is an excellent new type of video, look forward to more.
