Episode FIVE, DUNBOYNE | PHOTOGRAPHY & SUPPLIER LIST

 
 

In the village of Dunboyne in County Meath, Dublin bus scheduler Gavin (38) has shared a house with his mother Sharon since they moved from Enfield when he was a teenager. Sharon is full of life and optimism but - following a bus accident and subsequent health issues, her limited mobility means that Gavin is her right hand man.

Aside from a ground floor bedroom extension which Sharon refers to as her ‘sick room’, very little has changed in the last 20 years aside from Sharon’s growing collection of charity shop finds. Gavin’s sister Rebecca and her son Austin visit regularly but the room where Austin stays is still a legacy from the previous owner. 

Determined to provide Sharon, Gavin and grandson Austin with a warm, bright home that’s finally fit for purpose, Designer Dee hatches an ambitious plan to open up the ground floor - revamping Sharon’s extension and knocking the existing kitchen and living room together to dispel the gloom.

As the entire contents of the ground floor are moved to the local GAA club for sorting and Sharon reaches out to a Freecycle site to get rid of her bulky furniture, Builder Peter assembles an extended build crew to complete the huge redesign of the ground floor.

Even with a huge crew at work downstairs, there are no builders to spare, so when Dee decides to add a redesign of Austin’s bedroom to the To-Do list, she’s forced to enlist the unskilled DIYer but very enthusiastic Gavin to lend a hand.  

As the temperature drops to freezing and the workload increases, the pressure to complete Dee’s ambitious vision for the house reaches breaking point. The question is: can the Home Rescue crew finish in time for Sharon and Gavin’s return?
