Dream job up for grabs watching every episode of Grand Designs

There aren't many TV series more addictive than property and home improvement shows - and with the number of them on our screens, we're sure we're not the only ones that think so.

And sitting in top position for plenty of people is Channel 4's Grand Designs.

Now, superfans with a knack for home improvement have the chance to get paid to watch episodes of the much-loved series.

From the famous 100ft water tower to the £3million treehouse, the show has aired several quirky projects.

A typical Grand Designs project goes 34% over budget. But it’s not always a matter of dramatic over-spending. 7% of the projects are completed on budget, whilst a further 8% defy the odds by coming in under budget.

Toolstation is looking to hire and pay you to dig deeper into the show and watch every episode in order to help answer two questions:

  • Which project went over budget the most?
  • Which project came in under budget the most?
  • The company will pay the lucky fan £1,5000 to do a deep dive into the show in order to come up with the answer to these questions.
