Room to Improve | Series 13 | Episode 4 | Aired Sunday 13th March 2022 | 9:30pm | RTÉ One
This week Dermot Bannon travels to Thurles in Co. Tipperary, to transform the home of Jim & Mary Moloney. Jim & Mary want to bring their home up to the 21st century and do a deep retrofit of their home, as well as make their home meet the outside for these passionate outdoor people. Jim and Mary built their home 30 years ago and have not really changed it in anyway since 1990. Both their adult children have flown the nest and they want to make the house ready for the next chapter in their lives.
Dermot has a challenge though as the budget is tight. The budget of €210k has a lot to do for what Jim & Mary want. Clare the QS is clever though, she has presented options of spend to them, so the Moloneys have tough decisions to make – and that is before the build even starts!
They hire the services of Paul O’Brien from Sola Construction to bring their dream to a reality. Dermot knows that he has to be careful with the couple as they do not make decisions easily enough – they need time, but unfortunately due to the demand of sub -contractors in the construction industry at the moment, decisions cannot be delayed. Dermot has to bring them on a journey and see that if they don’t make decisions – it will inevitably cost them money.
The garden is a huge part of Jim & Marys life – so they really want to bring the garden into their home as much as possible – they have hired Patricia Tyrell as their landscaper but being a tight budget it is not always possible to get what they want. There are tough negotiations that happen but will Jim & Mary’s dream be lived up too?
