And there's a bunyip living in the bushes in the back garden.

So I get Gavin, the engineer, and he and I go round it.

And he's taking photos with his sidekick of problematic things.

And I ask various questions.

They've come as a pair because we have looked at a few houses.

And the sidekick is, you know, if you're a surveyor looking at a house, you're not walking into a room and just getting the vibe of the room.

You're immediately zeroing in on the corners.

You're looking at where damp could rise.

You've got a stimp meter, the thing they use in golf to check the speed of the greens.

He actually has a device which measures the dampness in a wall that you hold into it.

But this is an old house.

So it's the reason I like Gavin is because he's used to dealing with Victorian houses.

where everything is a bit wonky whereas i feel a fresh college graduate would be like oh my goodness this whole house could fall down at any minute whereas gavin's being around the block yeah okay got it okay and you know my main question when i walk into any room could i record an episode of what did you do yesterday in here yeah surrounded by does it have 18 bike hooks

Yeah, that was the sign.

That's how they're trying to sucker me into buying it for sure.

So, yeah, every room I go into, I crouch down in the ground and I say, and my name is David O'Donoghue.

And then go, oh, God, who cares?

One country has had one less.

Yeah.

I then go to the park with my, so my nephew is in his mid thirties.
