How to get paid to watch Grand Designs

Are you a fan of the elaborate architectural home-building television Channel 4 show 'Grand Designs'?

Do you have a keen eye for property development, or just a general interest in building?

Could you do with some home improvement inspiration?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you'll be excited to hear that you can now get paid to watch the show as part of a competition created by Toolstation!

The multi-channel retailer is offering one Grand Designs super-fan an impressive £1,500 to watch every single episode that has ever been released as part of a research project.

Within the twenty-two series of the show, which first aired in 1999 and is presented by Kevin McCloud, there are more than 200 episodes, each featuring an unusual or quirky assignment, from the famous 100ft water tower to the £3million tree-house.

Being that a typical Grand Designs project goes over the expected budget by around 34%, Toolstation need one lucky applicant to dig deep into the show's history to find out:

A) Which project went over budget the most?

B) Which project came in under the budget the most?

Those whose dream job it is to get paid to watch the telly can apply here: https://www.toolstation.com/content/grand-designs-dream-job-competition.

Good luck!
