Grand Designs in East Duwlich - part 2

[MadWorld74]

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!!)

That is cool, and really nice of them. However, can I just say that that is a sh!t competition prize! :-S

[MadWorld74]

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]

Hmmm... Think I'd rather win a holiday...

[MadWorld74]

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]

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.....

[ClareC]

I still want to look round..... didnt realise we needed to confirm our interest again, sorry.

[tiddles]

count us in please

Dear ClareC and Jan t,

I think watch this space, as Talisman will post something on here in the near future! :))

[Ant]

I'll be keeping an eye out then. Mrs Ant and I would still be very interested to have a look around.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Can I sign up for the holiday?

[Ganapati]

I'm still keen--they are pretty much my ideal of a dream home.

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

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...
