Meath is this week’s destination for designer Dee Coleman and builder Peter Finn (below) as they make over a house in the village of Dunboyne.
It's home to bus scheduler Gavin and his mother Sharon, who is full of life and optimism, but after a bus accident, her limited mobility means she relies on her son as her right-hand man.
Dee wants to brighten up the house and make it fit for purpose, knocking the existing kitchen and living room together, and revamping the extension.
But it's an ambitious project and when there are no builders to spare, Dee enlists DIY enthusiast Gavin to revamp one of the bedrooms.

The Muppets Mayhem, Disney+
Hands up – I didn’t spot this beginning yesterday.
Still, the great thing about streaming services – and TV in general, it must be said - is that it’s there the following day.
Anyway. This is a story about the house band on The Muppets, Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.
The band consists of Dr Teeth on vocals and keyboards, Animal on drums, Floyd Pepper on vocals and bass, Janice on vocals and lead guitar, Zoot on saxophone, and Lips on trumpet.
Junior A&R executive Nora must deal with the madness caused by Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, who come face-to-face with the modern musical business as they try to record their first-ever album.
Movie of the Day
The Shawshank Redemption, 9.00pm, BBC Four
Given that the play of the film’s currently running at Dublin’s Gaiety Theatre, here’s a timely opportunity to see Frank Darabont's drama, based on a Stephen King novella.
It stars Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman, Bob Gunton, William Sadler, Clancy Brown and Gil Bellows.
A banker is wrongly jailed for his wife's murder and over the course of a life sentence he forms a close friendship with a fellow inmate.
He also earns a position of trust as book-keeper to the corrupt prison governor - but makes an enemy of his benefactor as he tries to clear his name.
That’s followed at 11.15pm by a very watchable drama Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool, starring Jamie Bell and a brilliant Annette Bening.
Real life proves to be just as dramatic off-screen as it does on it for ageing Hollywood superstar Gloria Grahame and her much younger lover, Peter Turner.
