Episode TWO, GOREY | PHOTOGRAPHY & SUPPLIER LIST

Outside Gorey in County Wexford, Róisín, Peter and the crew come to the rescue of local girl Suzi, her husband Warren and their daughters Willow and Ruby.

15 years ago, Suzi and Warren bought their ‘dream family home’, having availed of a Celtic Tiger mortgage. Unfortunately, they lost their jobs in the crash, but even though they’ve since found new work, the current lockdown has them working from home with little time or energy to focus on a rising tide of clutter.

Living and working downstairs, sharing space with toys, clothes and unpacked boxes, their two upstairs rooms are filled with junk and are totally unusable.

Enter: Róisín with a plan to create a dramatic new space for the two girls and a new office and chillout zone in the no-go dormer rooms. As the clutterbusters relocate a vast collection of belongings to the back garden, Róisín presents Peter and his crew with plans to create a fully functioning stage in Willow and Ruby’s redesigned room and that’s not all.

In order to make sense of the rooms upstairs, Peter will have to remove a wall, turning two disconnected areas into a new open plan loft space by cutting an internal wall in half.

As Storm Ellen batters the house and Peter struggles to make sense of Róisín’s plans, the ongoing challenge of the massive sorting job, extensive construction and distancing restrictions becomes even more pressing.

Even when the rain finally moves on, the prospect of a silver lining seems unlikely as time begins to run out on the final day.

Will Suzi and Warren ever see their dream home rescued from chaos? Will Willow and Ruby make it onstage for the grand opening?
