Episode One, KILCULLEN | PHOTOGRAPHY & SUPPLIER LIST
Home Rescue returns to your screens for a brand new series! In this first episode, the Home Rescue team are in Co. Kildare.
Rose Cottage, just outside Kilcullen in county Kildare, is home to eight-year-old Elanor, her mum, Celine Garvey, three chickens, two cats and Terry the terrapin.
What was originally envisioned by Celine’s dad Noel as a dream cottage for his daughter has been a work in progress (with very little progress) for the last ten years. In 2011, Noel was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease and despite his best efforts, he never got to finish the renovation.
As a single parent and full time theatre manager, Celine has never really managed to complete her dad’s vision despite her best efforts. Rose Cottage’s six small rooms have become a charming but chaotic collection of art, toys, books and DVDs.
Róisín plans to make sense of Rose Cottage by removing an internal wall raising a ceiling to the full height of the roof, creating a secret hatch to the kitchen and installing a roof light. But, like many old houses, the cottage is stubbornly resistant to change.
After manhandling the chicken coop (and its inhabitants) to the far side of the garden and experiencing an eventful run-in with an aggressive terrapin, Builder Peter finds himself having to drill through a two-foot-thick internal wall and trying desperately to connect two concrete floors that should match but turn out to be on entirely different levels.
With Celine concentrating on rehearsals for a new show, the drama at Rose Cottage builds to a climax. There’s a stage to be set – but will the team even make it to opening night?
