MadWorld74 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Hello All you lovely Forum people,I meet Bill and Sarah yesterday; the oweners of the 2 Eco builds in ED, at the Grand Designs Excel London. I had a chat to them about the excitment previously whipped up on this very site. They knew of 'us' and said that they couldn't believe how many of us wanted to go down for a tour.I have it first hand that they WILL be running a tour of the two houses on Landells Road, just as soon as they get properly settled in and have the rest of their family and friends round!! Yipeee!!!!Just keep this between us lot on the forum because it doesn't extend to the rest of the country!! We should feel very priveledged.Grand Designs were running a competetion yesterday for someone to WIN a trip round the house, but all ED Forum go-ers will be treated to this regardless of the competition!! more yipee!!The couple both said that they were very touched by all the nice things said about them and their houses on the forum.So I guess we watch this space for Talisman to annouce when we can all toop round to have a butchers. Just don't forget the champagne!!!(Excuse the over use of exclamation marks!!)

Keef Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 That is cool, and really nice of them. However, can I just say that that is a sh!t competition prize! :-S Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/865-grand-designs-in-east-duwlich-part-2/#findComment-21190 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadWorld74 Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 Well Keef, I would certainly enter if I didn't live in ED! They all seemed really nice yesterday and I think you'd get more than a tour of the house, ie you may find yourself celebrating with them, glass of bubbly in hand. Not a bad day out.

Keef Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Hmmm... Think I'd rather win a holiday... Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/865-grand-designs-in-east-duwlich-part-2/#findComment-21266 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadWorld74 Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 Well I'm disappointed that so many on the forum expressed a wish to have a gander round the two houses....and now no one seems interested?I understand Keef, I too wouldn't mind a free jaunt to the islands in the Indian Ocean if it was on offer, but this 'prize' was at the Grand Designs expo yesterday, so obviously not a free holiday in sight. Although a night out on the tiles with Kevin McCloud wouldn't be a bad offer! (sorry Mr MW74!)

Keef Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Don't get me wrong, I'd quite like to have a bit of a nose around at some stage, and I suspect Mrs Keef would be very interested in the eco thing.....

Ganapati Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I'm still keen--they are pretty much my ideal of a dream home. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/865-grand-designs-in-east-duwlich-part-2/#findComment-21384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
talisman Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 dear forumers - we are still building HOUSE B and are also very manic with the media circus so bear with us awhile longer. Nice to meet some of you at the Grand Designs Live Show over the weekend - thanks for your feedback, hope you enjoyed the seminars. We will be making "tour" plans for the EDF shortly (both mine and Sarah's family have still not been invited to visit yet so you can tell how owerwhelmed we are by suppliers, business visitors, photographers, architects, etc!) FYI, we will be putting the second house up for sale v shortly with local estate agents Harvey Wheeler, so watch their window/website for full details, pics, plans and the PRICE. Keep in touch, regards: Talisman Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/865-grand-designs-in-east-duwlich-part-2/#findComment-21405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quaywe Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Talisman - With the amount of interest you've had on the EDF has the thought of advertising privately (i.e. on the EDF) occurred? I bet it would sell in a New York minute and you could bank the commission you would have paid to the estate agent.Just a thought...
