Exclusive – Amye and Nathan's build suffers a crane catastrophe in Grand Designs first-look
RadioTimes.com can reveal an exclusive first-look at tonight's episode of Grand Designs.
A Lincolnshire couple face major setbacks with their ambitious new build when their waterlogged plot sinks a 36 ton crane in tonight's episode of Grand Designs, RadioTimes.com can reveal.
Tonight's episode sees Kevin McCloud meet Nathan and Amye – a couple who plan to build a cathedral-like new home with a sleek contemporary twist and a striking 5000 tile armadillo roof in Lincolnshire.
With Nathan project managing the house, the couple plan to include a wing for Nathan's teenage children and an annexe for his mum and step dad to move into so the pressure is on to finish the build within just a year.
However, in an exclusive first-look clip, construction doesn't get off to a great start; A crane arrives to form the skeleton of Amye and Nathan's house but finds itself stuck in the plot's waterlogged soil.
"It's stuck – it's very badly stuck," a construction worker tells the camera, before hydraulic oil begins to pour out of the crane, which has seemingly blown a pipe.
