Event details
Professional deep-sea diver Adrian Corrigall is obsessed withconcrete. He fell in love with this cold uncompromisingmaterial in the skateparks of Scotland. Now he's convinced hiswife Megan to agree to build their new family home in ruralEast Sussex almost entirely out of the stuff - both inside andout. No cladding, no carpets, no plaster or wallpaper - thiswill be as pure a concrete building as possible. Constructioninvolves cutting-edge technologies conceived in Switzerland andnever used to build a house before. The hope is these new mixrecipes will overcome the historic negatives of concrete andkeep costs down. However, the perils of being a pioneer soonbecome evident. With both schedule and budget under strain,Adrian is forced to resume work as a diver, servicing NorthSea oil installations and taking him away for a month at atime. With Megan now left juggling the build, all the whilelooking after three young children, the concrete dream seems along way off.
