Just been watching the late Hugh Wallace on #TheGreatHouseRevival and recalling the craic and chats we had when filming a story about Portlaw, Co. Waterford for Creedon's Atlas of Ireland. A great intellect, a true gentleman and still very sadly missed.

Just caught up with last week’s #TheGreatHouseRevival in Knocknagoshel. What a fantastic job Kieran Cotter did with his grandmother’s old house. With a tiny budget & doing most of the work himself, he should be very proud of what he achieved. Really good episode.

Made the mistake of watching #TheGreatHouseRevival, I have no clue how Hugh didn’t end up snapping on this couple.
The proudly & consistently not having a plan or schedule is bonkers.
Poor Hugh #thegreathouserevival

Beautiful job 👏
#thegreathouserevival
Think I’d run away to Mammy’s house #thegreathouserevival
Jeez! They’ve a lot of work to do 😳 #thegreathouserevival
Oh Lordy, is there any bit of this place worth saving? 😳 #TheGreatHouseRevival
Also if this lad pops up, it'll be extra good because Fi is related to none other than Actual Cathal Brugha #TheGreatHouseRevival

Remember like two weeks ago when I was briefly obsessed with #TheGreatHouseRevival. Anyway I didn't watch it last week due to bereavement and it turns out it was the one with my brother's friends Paddy and Fi in it so I'll get into it later and tell you extra titbits about them #gossip no not really
As this ep. of
#TheGreatHouseRevival ends & the ads run, viewers peruse social media posts about it … until they find themselves having to pounce on the remote as they hear the Mrs Brown’s Boys theme start up. 😳🫣😂
I have zero expertise in construction, but even I know they need to insulate this bloody house (if they don’t want mouldy patches/mildewed contents in due course). 🤦🏻♀️
#TheGreatHouseRevival
What is the hang up about insulation? They’re architects 🙄 #madted #thegreathouserevival
Why did they put the roof on before excavating the floor? #thegreathouserevival
I would be immediately ahead of everyone who's ever been on one of these house restoration and renovation shows because I am a barren woman who doesn't have to care about Getting In Before Christmas or We Have To Be In Before The Kids Go Back To School #TheGreatHouseRevival
Watching the post office episode of #TheGreatHouseRevival and dreamily wondering what disasters and work stoppages would make my renovation project come crashing down on me.
It's kinda a fun time warp watching the season 4 shows cos they were buying the derelict places in 2022 so in 2025 you could probably slap another 30% onto the prices lol #TheGreatHouseRevival
Very annoyed to see all these people getting the vacant property grant and it letting them spend far more on doing up a property they were going to do up anyway. Yis cunts #TheGreatHouseRevival
Oh NO, I absolutely HATE how they've decorated and designed it, it's AWFUL. It's an old schoolhouse and inside it's all industrial and grey and it looks absolutely FREEZING like there is no way you wouldn't be frozen all the time??? #TheGreatHouseRevival
Yer man is like fine, have all your exposed walls but you will be cold so consider underfloor heating and yer one is like pffft, I'm Canadian, it'll be fine and like your kids and husband aren't? But also this is IRISH cold. DAMP cold. INDOOR cold. You dope #TheGreatHouseRevival
I don't think I'd be able to make decisions about stuff like kitchen cabinets when I was still looking at a building site. I don't have much of a visual imagination and it would be like double imagination required. I'd need models and drawings to help #TheGreatHouseRevival
#TheGreatHouseRevival has a historian lad who pops up in every episode to explain what bastards the Brits were and how this affected the old building that's being done up in this episode. Great stuff
They should do a #TheGreatHouseRevival where it's just me and no friends or family helping out and talking fondly about me to the camera and the last shot of the show is just me alone in my lovely house with Whiskey
I hate them for their cut stone exterior and their exposed beams and stone walls inside and their courtyard and stone sheds. Bastards. Fucking BASTARDS. #TheGreatHouseRevival
They found a stray kitten during the build and adopted it and she made most of the flooring choices by sitting on the samples she preferred. I will not be moved. I still hate them. #TheGreatHouseRevival
Disgusted to see that the house is actually lovely, rot them #TheGreatHouseRevival
