Fans of Grand Designs were in tears while watching last night's episode.
Host Kevin McCloud met with Rob and Kate who were trying to build a home with a budget of £350,000. Former farmer and floorboard engineer Rob, and his partner Kate, had been living in a white weatherboard-clad, prefabricated shack in a quiet corner of Kent.
It was built in 1948 by Rob’s grandfather on part of the family farm in the post-war housebuilding era. Kate explained that the home was riddled with asbestos and it was freezing due to lack of insulation.
