2014 House...

So I've been doing a little analysis of the photos showing the gutted shell with spray paint walls and the like - the turquoise lines are supposedly new walls & the orange broken lines are just a guess - plus also 'attempted' to work out the actual size difference of the yard to last year (the angle makes it difficult to compare with a top-down nearmap though).
So not really enough data to determine much other than the fact that the bathroom is a different shape, that there's a dressing room, and some kind of dairy-room shaped room off to one side (may not be the DR though?)

I've been pondering about the last picture in the OS gallery, and I'm almost certain that it's a room (bedroom 1 ?) behind the closed arches of the new upper level. My point would be this - why extend the roofline if all you were doing is creating a facade? You could do that like they've always done with a fake vertical facade. So the extension of the centre roofline seems to indicate there is at least a room up there, thus:

I thought it was just the room on the lower floor from the bottom of those stairs they built,

It's actually over the left side, you can see the sun light panels in the roof in both pictures.
 
@buck07
thats what i was trying to explain ages ago, only stupider and in less words and no pictures. :bag:
good job! :thumbsup:
 
Either way, I still maintain that there is a room up there behind the two arches. It's just odd that:

1. the roof line of the old house has been extended to cover that area

2. there are vertical panels that block the archways but are not uniform and turn inwards at the extreme left and right.

Though regarding point 2, I still don't get why it was designed that way.

Yeah, regarding point 2 as well, I think it looks really bad to be honest, especially if it turns out to not contain a room!
 
Maybe this season is a mental exercise. This is all a figment of our collective imagination.. There is no BB this year.. Watch the pretty lights!!
 
Another photo of the ceiling. Not sure what to make of this one!

Looking at the top right hand corner of this photo it looks as though that could be a room which is above the ceiling. It looks like there's lights in there and why would they need to have, what looks to be wall framing in the roof. I could be completely wrong though.
 
That looks intriguing, I wonder how many people are working on this build, if it starts on the 7th.
 
For the competition to stay the big brother house from the women's mag or whatever it was was to be able to go away this Sunday. So by that I'm guessing that you would be staying in it on Sunday night? If that is the case one Ruth's assume that the house would be about finished by now..?
