农耕--乡村新生活第一季（中）Farming-A New Rural Life, Season 1 (Part 2).

Every year, tens of thousands of Brits escape the city to start anew in the country. For many, it's about enjoying a slower pace of life and finding the idyllic country cottage to match. But when you're Britain's favorite property expert, things are never going to be that straightforward. I know it's called barbed wire, so I've got... Barbed wire? Isn't it barbed wire? Barbed wire. Oh, barbed wire, then. Sarah Beaney and her husband, Graham, have uprooted their four boys from their cosy life in London to a former dairy farm in Somerset, where they're going to build the house of their dreams. It's going to be hard work, but I hope it's going to be rewarding. I think it might work a bit better for Dad than Mum. The house is going to be over here. Do you see it? The lawns. They're also going to try their hand at various local cottage industries. Why would anybody not keep bees? We've made cider. That is really tasty. And immerse themselves in everything rural life has to offer. I feel sorry for the sheep. At stake is the couple's reputation as property developers, as well as their bank balance. This goes badly. I genuinely don't have a plan B. With acres of land but little farming know-how, they're embarking on their biggest challenge yet. It's all going very well, isn't it? Can this city girl and her family turn their dream into reality and build a new life in the country? Coming up, building finally begins on Sarah and Graham's new home. And this is filling up our foundations. The couple decide to turn one of their fields into a luxury campsite. That is what you call proper hotel camping. And Graham calls in the detectorists to help him out when he loses a valuable family heirloom. There's something here. Oh, my goodness. That's it. That's where. That's where, I think. Property developer Sarah Beeney and her husband, Graham Swift, have spent the last 30 years dreaming about and planning their own perfect home, a Baroque-style low-carbon impact house. After waiting around seven months to get planning, they finally got the go-ahead and now the contractors are on site. Groundworker Metford and his team have levelled the ground and now it's time to dig the footings. This is where trenches are dug so that the concrete can be poured into them and the walls of the house built on top. Metford has just started digging the trench foundation, so basically you dig a big trench, you fill that up with concrete, you make it completely level. If we don't get the footings right, everything else will be off. So this is one of the most important bits of the whole build. This is day one of the actual, actual build and the sun's shining, which is why we're rushing to do it at the moment. Sarah's booked in the concrete trucks to arrive in a few days' time. We've got two days now to dig the trenches and then day three, the concrete trucks arrive. They start at seven in the morning. I've just got off the phone to them. They come every 20 minutes through the day. So it's all hands on deck. Better not have a heavy night on Friday. Yeah, that would be a mistake. Metford only has a couple of days to get the footings done in time. I'm in a bit of a panic and we're not quite ready yet, but we'll get there. It's all right. We'll get there. When the family bought the farm, diversifying the business interests on it was always the plan. With 220 acres of land available, one idea they've been considering is to introduce glamping. I'd quite like to know if you could mix and match your own camping weekend so people can rent the field and they can have tents or they can have showers or loos or they can have yurts or they can have a wedding. Quite nice to have a look at the level of investment that we'd have to do as well and just try and work out loo arrangements, electricity arrangements. Yeah. Glamping first got used as a word 15 years ago to describe camping with glamour. Now, glamping is all the rage with hundreds of sites all across the UK. The family are visiting a local one to find out more about it before they do it themselves. Hi, Ben. Hi, I'm Greg. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Sarah. Hi, Sarah. The glamping site has a variety of luxury tents, yurts, shepherd huts and other quirky types of accommodation. This is so cool. At the top! Look! Set on a 186-acre site, manager Ben is going to show them around. These are quite superior bell tents, though, aren't they? These were hand-made, hand-designed. Whoa. Oh, wow. Oh, my word. That is so cool. Oh, this is gorgeous. Oh, wow. This is... Oh, this is really glamorous. Thank you. How amazing. Yeah, a lot of the pieces got individually chosen. The beds have got orthopaedic mastresses, so they've been to a very high spec of beds. We know how important a comfortable bed is. You can feel they get very warm, and they stay warm through the night as well because they're double-skinned canvas. They've got flaps around the edge you can open up if you want more air in them. This really is really luxurious. This is like going to a boutique hotel in a campsite, and I would want to stay here. It's just so lovely. Well, would you like to give the bed a try? Yeah, brilliant. So, I need comfy beds with lots of pillows. Oh, that's lovely. Oh, God, you're like everyone. Please can I try it? Oh, God, can it cope? Oh, that's so lovely. This is brilliant. So, how much do people have to pay for this? So, for a family of four... £115 for the night. OK. For a family, that's actually... It's a good business, but it's actually good value for a family. I think it's £115 for a family of four. I hope it reflects good value. The tents have the thumbs-up from Sarah, but it's the bathroom facilities that often put her off any type of camping. So, this is the composting loo? I haven't checked them before. I hope someone cleaned them, they did. This eco-loo is flush-free and turns human waste into compost, but it can get pungent in the summer. The smell is not too bad. The odour's actually OK. And there are shared showers. So, do you think that the facilities, in a way, is the trickiest thing to keeping people happy? Absolutely the case. As I say, we've got the eco-friendly ethos and we've got the lack of mains drainage and so forth, so we had to have them, but for sure it is the thing that people most comment on that they do not like, or they very much do like. Sarah's looking for a bathroom experience that's slightly higher-end. The truth is, I'm a bed snob and I'm a bathroom snob and I really, like, can't do beds and with loads and loads of pillows and I really like lovely bathrooms with lots of hot running water and a flushing loo. That's what we're going to have to put our mind to. That is. That's the key. Can the couple design a bathroom and loo that is rather more luxurious? Back at the building site, all the trenches have been dug and now the perimeter is being lined with clayboard in preparation for tomorrow's concrete pour. Clayboard allows the clay around the foundations to expand and contract, avoiding pressure that might weaken the foundations. So it's crucial all the trenches are lined before the truck arrives tomorrow morning. We're not quite ready for the pour, so everyone is working flat out today, including me. If we don't get it right today, then we can't pour tomorrow, so it's kind of getting a bit touch and go. I'm a bit worried. We're meant to have an order of some more clayboard and it's not here. I thought it was here in the barns, but it's not here yet. So, you know, I'm actually going to go back and chase that up now and see where everything's gone. Graeme rings the clayboard supplier to see if more stock is arriving. I'm just chasing up the clayboard. OK, we can't pour if we don't have it, though. And they're coming in especially for us on a Saturday. All right. So it should be here any time soon. But a few hours later, and despite the supplier promising it's on its way, the clayboard still hasn't arrived. With only an hour before shops shut, Graeme heads off to buy some, hoping to make it in time. Without that, we can't pour tomorrow morning. If we don't pour tomorrow morning, it's going to rain all next week. So, yeah, it's a race against time again. We have to be ready for tomorrow. It's not really an option to not be ready, so we just kind of have to be. It's all a little bit of a panic. Anyway, it's like before a party, isn't it? A few hours later, Graeme arrives back with more supplies. But time's running out. It's getting dark. It's getting quite late. But we have to do this. We've got to get ourselves ready. I'm going to be here at 10 o'clock tonight. If we're not ready, still doing it. In fact, I'll be here at 4 o'clock in the morning, if we're not ready. So there's no option. Everyone carries on late into the night, hoping they'll be ready for the foundation pour first thing tomorrow. It's early morning, and a very important delivery is arriving at the farm. This is the first chuck of concrete. That's where it all starts. After working late into the night, the team finally finish preparing the foundation trenches. Sarah and Graeme are using concrete because it's extremely long-lasting and, together with ICF walls, is an effective thermal insulator, which could massively help cut the carbon it takes to heat the house. A special vehicle called a pump truck has also arrived on the farm. The lorry is connected to the pump truck and unloads the concrete. The pump truck then passes the concrete through a long pipe called a boom and fills up the trenches. And this is filling up our foundations. This is the base level that we're going to build the house on. Once all this is in, we can start building the walls. All that waiting. Come on, we've started. The concrete is then treated with a special machine. So this is a vibrating coker. It jiggles the concrete so it makes all the air come to the surface. And that way the concrete's more impacted and stronger. Making sure the concrete is level is a crucial part of the foundation process. It's so important that the foundations are level because everything is built off it. So our ICF block will be built off the foundations and if the foundations are really, really level, they don't have too much work to do. A highly accurate instrument called a laser level is used to check everything is completely flat. So that's level. Well, I can't hold it very still on this angle. So yeah, that's how it works. Hopefully, for us. More concrete trucks arrive throughout the day, filling up the rest of the trenches. Until all the trenches are filled and the last concrete truck leaves the site. We've done it. We've got the foundations in and the sun's still out. It's good. Yeah, it feels like an achievement today. Maple has spent the day in the house, but has gotten out and sees Graham. Maple! Grab her out. Can you get the dog? Maple jumped into the concrete. I don't think she fully understood that it wasn't a solid surface. She knows something's going on and she's really annoyed. I'm going to lock her in the car because then she can see it. After five truckloads of concrete, the foundations to Sarah and Graham's new house is laid. The rest of the foundation's done. Now we just need to build the house. Should be easy now. Really? Sarah and Graham have various business ideas for the farm, but one they are considering when the weather gets warmer is turning one of their fields into a glamping site. This weekend, with lots of friends and family coming over, they thought they'd do a test run of glamping, beanie style. If I'm honest, I like hotels, not camping, so we're trying to put a hotel in this field by tonight. As long as the food and the drink and the bathrooms and the bedding is all like a hotel, then the job's a good'un. By tonight? Yeah. Yeah, we've got a busy day. Yeah. Graham's been tasked with building a high-end portable bathroom for the guests, and Sarah's brother Dickon and friend Rupert have been drafted in to lend a hand. This is a sheep trailer, but it's no longer a sheep trailer. This is now Sarah's bathroom. This is the camping bathroom. The plan is to build a high-spec three-piece suite with bath, sink and boutique loo. Not too bad. It's been in a field for about eight years. It usually takes several days for a plumber to fit a luxury bathroom, but they've only got a few hours until the party starts. As they get on with building the bathroom, the tents go up that they're renting from Tobin, who runs a specialist luxury tent business. These are beautiful. So get one of these as close to straight as you can get it. That's it. Keep going. Oh, big muscles. Well done. This is a man who's put up a lot of tents. How many tents do you put up at Glastonbury every year? 900. OK, so bearing in mind he puts up 900 tents for Glastonbury, I would imagine he needs to be quite quick. I mean, obviously he's not personally putting up 900, but, you know, there's no space for sitting around, is there? Lots of godchildren and cousins are mucking in to erect the seven tents. Oh, guys, I've got a peg. OK, place it down on that side. Well, I think the bed's going to be there. These luxury bell tents come with a super comfortable bed, boutique decoration and even complimentary eye shades. So what do you reckon? Do you reckon that people would rent this? I think, yeah. And how much do you think you can charge for a tent that's like this for the weekend? Is it all about how good the facilities are? Yeah, probably £300 for a weekend, each tent. OK. So comfy. Is it? Here, shove over, let me see. Oh, it is quite comfy, actually. I'll tell you what, for camping, that is really quite nice. That is quite nice, isn't it? Raffi's godmother, Alex, and her son, Roo, are willing to give camping one more shot. We did camp once down in Brighton and it was awful. I do. And we woke up in the morning all wet. Yeah, it wasn't very nice. So I'm excited to see whether or not this is any different. Let's hope it is. I'll let you know in the morning. There's only four hours to go before the party starts and a copper pipe is being fitted in the luxury bathroom. Luckily, the field has a water supply. We'll have hot and cold running water and a flushing bog. You know, this is the plan, to try and make camping not quite so basic for Sarah in the hope that she might enjoy herself. To work as a possible business venture, Graham wants the end results to be really impressive. It needs to be memorable, and there are so many people around here doing posh camping, and so you kind of need to have a USP, and hopefully this will be a bit of a USP. With the tents erected, the next task is to set up a country-style dining table and seating area. I reckon it's two bums per bale. Which, 35, if you've got a table of 35, someone who does maths. 35 divided by 2. So it's 18 per side. 15-year-old Billy and friends are blackberry picking, and cousin Ollie takes charge of mixology for the pre-dinner drinks, blackberry mojitos. Right, the more we pick, the more drinks we can have. I've been spiked, I've been prickled so much. So these are the sofas. Is it comfy? It's better than my sofa at home. Do you think? I like my drinks. You're waiting for your drink on it. I am, I'm waiting for my pureed blackberries. In my head, this is how camping should be, shouldn't it? 100%. You're going to have nowhere to have a bath if I don't finish off your bathroom as well. No, go quick, finish the bathroom. The boys and their cousins are in charge of entertainment and have organised their own mini Olympics. We're going to test the speed and the agility of each member here and we're going to try and see who's the fastest and who's the strongest. I'm not convinced that the wheelbarrow race is a definite Olympic sport, but it might be soon. The guys are putting the finishing touches to the bathroom. It's a towel rail. Do you know, it's really nice. It's a long time since I've done anything that felt like a child. But this has just been a complete flight of fancy. Ludicrous, really. Come on, then, let's take it down to the field. I think she'll like it, you know. It's the moment of truth for the guys and their luxury bathroom. But once connected to the pipes in the field, will the running water work? Come on, I can hear it. Yeah, come on! How's the pressure? The pressure's a bit dicey. Hey, it's brilliant! There we go. She runs. I need to get a photo of that. Get in, Dickon. Isn't that marvellous? Look at that. I'm ready. Oh, good. You are the best at husbandry. Thank you. That, that's what you call camping. Everyone's going to be jealous. Laurie's offered to have the first ever dip in the luxury bath. Oh, what's it like, Laurie? It's really nice. That is what you call proper hotel camping. You ready? I'm going to put my head up. Oh! Go on, get in. Raffi checks it out too. Oh, that is so warm! Is that lovely? That is so nice. Oh, look. So who reckons camping with a bathroom like that would be a lot more bearable than normal camping? Yeah. Totally. Who wants a cocktail? I do. Gorgeous. As dusk falls, Dickon's son Orlando starts making the mojitos, using rum, mint, lime, blackberries and lots of ice. Amazing. That's what we're aiming towards. It is very nice. Perfect. And there you have the textbook finished product. This is the stuff that memories and dreams are made of. It's a really fun way to spend a day with a bunch of friends, setting this up. That is a really cool campsite. Amazing bathroom. Thanks, everybody! Well done, everyone! Sarah and Graham are trying their hand at turning one of their fields into a glamping site, with friends and family as guests. It's the next morning, and Dickon's helping with the breakfast. Is this your halloumi, sir? Yeah. It's absolutely delicious. It is really good, isn't it? Sarah wants to know what Dickon thinks about glamping as a business. I think it's fantastic. I think if you can put a little bit of a windbreak up... It's a little bit exposed just here. You sort of need to design the site, don't you? A bit of landscaping around it, exactly. I think it'll work. I think it could work. I really do. Yeah, it's hotel in a field. Exactly. Boom, here it is. It's there, instant. Yeah. But to get the real verdict on whether this is actually like a hotel in a field, they go to see a friend who's not usually a big fan of camping. To be honest, if Alex likes it, then I think Dick jobs a good'un. Alex? Good morning. Good morning. Morning. It's been such a joy. What was it like? Lovely. The bed was so comfy and it was just lovely. It is lovely, actually, isn't it? As a place to stay, it's quite magic. It's not like a tent, is it? No, not like tents when we were children. It's a brilliant hotel in a field. I think if there were more bathrooms, that would be the key. If you had maybe a bathroom next to each tent... That was the only thing was my feet getting wet on the grass. That was the only disappointment of the entire time. With a bit of fine-tuning, maybe they might even take it to the next level. This is an amazing place to be. Masses of things to do around here, which is why I think this could be interesting as a business. Yeah, well, I agree. Let's have a look at it. Cool. The family are now fully immersed in their new life in the country and there's one crucial machine that no farmer can be without. Sarah's been shopping. I've kind of got myself a tractor. Oh, you are a good girl! It's a sad thing, isn't it, when I'm more excited about a tractor than I would be about an Aston Martin. That is a thing of beauty. It is a thing of beauty. You know, when we get round to moving stuff around the farm, we need a tractor. You know, it's just going to be so useful for everything. I am a farmer now. Graham takes the boys and their cousins for a spin. Brilliant. You're a star. Thank you. See you later. Bye. There we are. We have a tractor. Thank you very much. Take care. They're actually really nice to me. I felt very at home in that. Sarah's brother Dickon and his family are here at the farm today to help unload a very special delivery. A cargo of polystyrene ICF blocks is arriving that will be used to build the family's new house. Our house is arriving. We have a two-hour window to unload the container. This is it. My house is here! Yes! Right, I'm taking my toast and we're going to go rock and roll. Hello. Dickon, with his wife Caroline, daughter Freya and sons Nico, Orlando and Theo, live nearby and made the move from London five years ago. The best thing, frankly, for all of us, for our family, for all of my children and for all of hers is that they now have that close companionship that they had in London, where they ran around every weekend with each other doing all of those things that they enjoy best. The ICF blocks don't weigh much, but there's lots of them, so the family get to work unloading. Look at that! The blocks will be stored in the barn until they'll be used to build the house in a few weeks. This is my own piece of house. It's actually sort of quite awkward, but I'll get there. Look, there's a bit of my house. Oh, cool. It's a chance for Graeme to put his new tractor into action. It had to arrive today or we were in real trouble. There was no way of getting that out of the back of the lorry if we didn't have that. Alan, an expert in the field, has also come to help out. You could be breaking a record here. How long is it? The best we've done is 35 minutes. And how long have we been so far? Ten. Oh, my God! That's brilliant, you see? We'll have the house up in a week. This will be totally the fastest thing we've ever seen. This is the most competitive of families and they're determined to beat the 35-minute record. So, see, who would have thought that that will turn into a proper house? That's kind of amazing, isn't it? The lorry has been fully unloaded, but have they broken the 35-minute record? 13.49. That's good. 15-minute unload. Always. Is that the fastest ever, ever? Fastest ever, yeah. Which means that it's going to be built in a third of the time. Of course. Boom! Jobs are given. In a few weeks, these blocks will be unpacked and put together to become a home. It's like it's going to be really big. It is enormous. Is it? It's a big house. Oh, good! Because I thought, I was thinking, it's really difficult to get your head round exactly how big it's going to be. It looks tiny, the plan and the feel. It's going to be great. It's going to be like a sensible rice hall. I'm really excited. This is brilliant. Cool, let's go and have some lunch. Back at the house, Graeme's checking out a new acquisition. But it's not Roman coins that he's looking for. We had a lunch about a month ago. And after lunch, I decided it would be a good idea to go for a bit of a swim with some of my children and a few other members of the family. And I woke up the next morning and realised that I no longer had my late dad's signet ring on my finger. So I'm going to go down to the pond and see if I can find my late dad's signet ring now. It says it's waterproof on it. I'm not sure I believe it. I'd better not tell my mum. She'll go nuts. Graeme checks the route down to the pond first. Sarah did a lot of research before she got this. She's always wanted a metal detector. I've just thought, oh, my God, what? All those hours for a few ring pulls. Sounds like the dullest thing in the world. But maybe this time, maybe it'll turn up trumps. With no beeps on land, it's time to test out just how waterproof this metal detector is. I can't put this deep enough. I just want to make sure it's working. Well, if I can't even find the penny that I've just thrown in there at my feet, I'm not sure it's going to be much good to find the ring. I'm either going to have to drain the whole top pond down, which we could do. There's water going into it. Let's take all of this water and put it down in there and then this will fill up again and do it that way, which I think is probably what we're going to have to do. It'll be quite annoying if we don't find it then, though. Emptying the pond to find his dad's ring will be a huge job, but Greeme's determined to find it. The ICF blocks may have been unloaded in record time by the family, but now Sarah and Greeme have to learn what to actually do with them. They've come to a training course in Basildon. To be taught how to build a house out of ICF. I don't think it's going to be that difficult, I'm hoping. You just sort of slot it together and fill it with concrete, don't you? Yeah, you're going to have to pay attention. I am going to pay attention. I was really good at school paying attention. I will pay attention. I don't know what we're going to be doing for seven, eight hours in here. After half an hour, we'll know exactly what we're doing. It'll be fine. Come on. The course is led by Canadian Jean-Marc, who's been working with this type of ICF for 15 years, No system. If you don't put it together properly, it won't perform well. If you put it together properly, you have no issues. Jean-Marc begins his session by showing everyone how the blocks fit together. That goes on there. Can you just put your finger right there, Brian? That way I know where... I have to know where to hit it. The labels are colour-coordinated for the size of the core. So you have a purple, that's 10-inch, that's 6-inch. I hope I'm not out of my depth. So who would like to put one of these together? You want to do one? Yeah, let me do one. Can I correct you right now? Yeah, have I done it wrong? Yes. You see these little wings here? Yeah. In behind that, right against the block, okay? Okay. There you go. Sorry, I wasn't concentrating. Okay. Get your head round for someone who didn't listen at school. The course continues in the lecture hall. What is my link spacing? What is my link end distance? The first column is the link spacing. There's quite a lot to remember. Up to 1.8 metres, 750. Anything greater, a metre past. My brain doesn't engage very well for a really long time with lots and lots of information. My link end distance is 100. Anyway, it's got to be a steep learning curve. After a crash course in computer design, at the end of the day there's an exam to test their knowledge. With a little help from Graham, Sarah does pass the exam, but today's course has been a lot to take in. Today was really great and I feel I've learnt a lot, but I've also realised how much more there is for us to learn. I do slightly wonder if we've learnt enough more than we can chew. The foundation trenches to Sarah and Graham's new house have been laid in concrete and now the next stage is to start building the house out of ICF blocks. However, before that can happen, the foundations have to be checked to see their level. John Mark, who led the ICF training course Sarah and Graham went on and is in charge of the build, has arrived to see if work can commence. How level they are dictates how quick we get kicked off. So if they're out of level quite a bit, then it takes a while to get things going. I went round and checked the foundations when they dried out yesterday and actually I think they're OK. I think they're within what we can work with. But we'll see whether John Mark gives me a hard time later on today. I'll just point him towards Metford and Metford can get in trouble. I'd better not keep him waiting. Graham heads down to the site to meet John Mark, hoping it's good news. John Mark uses a spirit level to check the foundations are flat enough to build on. So is this level enough for us? Yeah, it is, definitely. It's not millimetre perfect, but it's close enough to work with. That's good. I was quite anxious about the foundations being all right for you. We've got a good foundation to start with here, definitely. We've passed test one. We'll start off here and work everything that way. With John Mark giving the go-ahead, the building of the subfloor can begin. First, starter rods are put into the concrete to give the ICF walls more support. Graham heads down from the barn with a very important cargo. Found the first blocks. So, they're going in. Got the rebar in, foundations in. Block time. For a while, that house has been in the barn. And now, our house is here. How cool is that? Over the next few hours, the ICF blocks are placed over the rods and the walls start to go up. It's one of those things that you can't really believe that people didn't invent 100 years ago. It's been a few days since Graham lost his late dad's signet ring. He's decided against draining the pond to find it and instead has asked for help from some experts in finding lost items made of metal. Morning, everybody. A local detectorist club. We've got a metal-detecting army. He's got the big boy today. The slightly difficult thing is, Graham's got a bit of a reputation for losing things in his family. And so he was very kindly given his dad's ring after his dad passed away. You'd better find it, cos I haven't told my mum yet. Let's see if we can get you off the hook, then. That would be very kind. What's the most exciting thing, hopefully apart from my dad's ring, that any of you have found? I've had a Roman hoard, which is 137 Roman bronze coins in one hole. So it was phenomenal. Have many people cried when you found things that they'd lost? Have you had tears? I might cry if you don't find my dad's ring. The hunt for the ring begins. Guys, I think we're going to start by the stile just over there, which is where I climbed over and then went down to the pond. And then be having quite a struggle getting out of the pond. I don't remember that moment. After ten minutes detecting, Dave's found something. There's something here, and as you move off of it, it grunts. If you hear the signal and hear it go funny, that means it's iron. So it's not your ring. And there it is, an iron buckle. Look what I didn't find. I told you it was iron. That is quite cool, though, isn't it? That's a 20th, 21st century... I'm going to turn into a metal detector. You are. I'm going to love it. Then they strike more gold, or rather silver. I just turned it out and there you go, it was about... Let me see. Just in the bottom of that hole. I think that's a Mary. Mary I. That's good, is it? This is what you come out for. Thank you. Look, you can still see the fleur-de-lis. Three lions. That's a hat-bending moment. That is so unbelievable. You're not kidding. Marys are quite rare and that's why the head is... That's what it would have looked like. Bloody Mary. And what is it, a sixpence or a fourpence? It's a fourpence. How much's it worth? Next to nothing. Unfortunately, it's worth more history than it is monetary value. That makes this coin older than 1558. It's more than 400 years old. Think of everything that's happened in this country. This is pre-Civil War. When this coin was being milled, Protestant vicars were being burnt at the stake. Whilst everyone's distracted by coins, Nick's detector gets a beep in the pond. That's it. That's where. That's where, I think. Right underneath where the centre of the coil is. Start from the delve of about. You'll probably have to grab handfuls of mud and see what you can pull out. So, do we think that that might be gold? It could be, yeah. So, pop that in. Slightly excited. I really, really want to... It was taken off my dead dad's finger and given to me by my sister. It is quite important to me. Do you need your pinpointer, Raph? I've got it. You put the pin... Yeah, found it. What? Your ring. HE LAUGHS Yes! I'll get it. There you go. HE LAUGHS High five. What did I say? It was in the lake. What did I say? It was in the lake. Oh, my goodness! Come here. That's all right. That is so cool! Do you know what? I didn't think you'd find it. I'm so glad. Thank you so much, guys. There you are. How about that? That is good. James is not an emotional man, but he did look a bit emotional in that moment. Is it too early for a celebration? Half eleven. Time for a drink. HE LAUGHS You'll end up with a ring back in the... No, no, no. That deserves a bottle of fizz. I am properly pleased. Right, I'm going to open this in celebration of finding my dad's ring. Well, everybody, thank you very much. Very pleased with you. Cheers. It's only been a couple of days since building commenced with the ICF blocks, but already the ground floor of the house has been mapped out. So this is the house. This is all done, pretty much. This is going to be the sitting room here. And then this bit over here is the library. And then you'll go through a door, which will be about here. And then this is the kitchen. So this is the TV room. It's going to have sofas round like that. So that everyone can sit down and watch film. And that's the carport over there. And then this is the dining room over here. And then that far room is going to be the study, my office. And then we're having... The plant room is over there. The next pool will be filling up all these blocks. And then we've got the structure up to the ground floor level. Then the floor goes down. Then we have the ground floor. Then we actually have a house, a proper house. It's good, isn't it? It's exciting, cos I've only been looking at this on plan. And then all of a sudden, there it is. It's a bit like having a baby. A baby's quite dull, but you love it because you're at that stage. And then a toddler gets more fun. And then, you know, a child gets even more fun. You know, everything happens at the right time. And it's every step of the way. It's quite exciting with this, I think. Over the next four weeks, the rest of the ICF blocks will be put in place. And the shell of the family's new home will be complete. It's really exciting, cos it's very real. Wow. Excellent. Next time... The whole family learn how to forage for food. So how many of you boys have eaten a nettle? I know how to eat nettles. I'm sealing in. Sarah and her brother Dickon harvest some honey from his hive. Isn't that fabulous? That's amazing. But then disaster strikes. We've had floods and a plague and... Are we not meant to build this? Floaty light and much, much harder to make than you might think. Professional chefs all have a quaver tomorrow night. Snackmasters returns for a new series at eight. Tonight, time for an upgrade. If it's good enough for Macaulay Culkin, it's good enough for us. 30 Grand a Night buys you Christmas in New York, inside the Plaza. New next on Channel 4.
