0:00:34 > 0:00:37'As you can see here in our satellite picture,

0:00:37 > 0:00:41'we are expecting a big storm tonight.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43'The best idea is to stay indoors.'

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Oh, no, I don't like storms.

0:00:46 > 0:00:51Don't worry, Luke. We'll be absolutely fine.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54Our house will keep us safe from the storm.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58You did repair the loose tile on the roof, didn't you, Larry?

0:00:58 > 0:01:04Oh, dear! The loose tile. Well, I-I meant to, but then I forgot.

0:01:04 > 0:01:09But it's nothing to worry about, really. It'll be fine, you'll see.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12Are you sure, Dad?

0:01:14 > 0:01:19It's not even raining yet. It'll probably only be a titchy storm.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22We may not even notice it.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25WHISPERS: Lester, are you awake?

0:01:25 > 0:01:28What if it rains really, really hard?

0:01:28 > 0:01:31And what if the wind blows the tile away?

0:01:31 > 0:01:32And what...?

0:01:32 > 0:01:37Shh, Luke. Listen, it's not even raining yet.

0:01:37 > 0:01:38Let's go to sleep.

0:01:43 > 0:01:44METALLIC CLATTERING

0:01:44 > 0:01:47Larry... Larry, wake up.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49What was that?

0:01:49 > 0:01:52Huh, what?

0:01:52 > 0:01:55Mum, Dad, did you hear that noise?

0:01:55 > 0:01:59What was it? Is our house going to fall down?

0:01:59 > 0:02:02Oh, don't worry, Luke. Dad will see what it was.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06We won't let a storm bother the Large family, right?

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Ah, well...

0:02:10 > 0:02:14It's the drainpipe. It's come away from the wall.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18It's nothing to worry about, I can fix it in the morning.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Now, you just go back to bed, Luke.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23Everything will be fine.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27- Would you like to sleep with us for the rest of the night?- Yes, please.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29- KNOCK AT DOOR - Mum, Dad.

0:02:29 > 0:02:33It's raining in our bedroom, there's water dripping.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36Oh! Water? Oh, no.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39It must be because of that broken tile.

0:02:39 > 0:02:43Don't worry, I'll fetch a bucket to catch the water.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48There we are, all done.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Now we can all go back to sleep.

0:02:50 > 0:02:55But the noise of the dripping is so loud, I won't be able to sleep.

0:02:55 > 0:03:01All right. Come on, why don't we all sleep in our bed tonight?

0:03:02 > 0:03:04BABY CRIES

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Oh, no, Lucy!

0:03:08 > 0:03:13Shh, calm down, Lucy, calm down.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15She'll be OK, now.

0:03:15 > 0:03:20I wonder how Laura is managing to sleep through all this noise?

0:03:20 > 0:03:22I'm not.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25Sorry, Laura, we didn't want to wake you up.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27We were just going back to bed.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30- Yeah.- We're sleeping in Mum and Dad's bed.

0:03:32 > 0:03:36OK, I think there's room in our bed for two more.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Right, Larry?

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Whatever you say, dear.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51Dad, wake up. It's the morning and it's stopped raining.

0:03:51 > 0:03:56Can we repair the roof now? In case there's another storm.

0:03:56 > 0:04:01Yeah, we'll help you. Bet I'll be really good at DIY.

0:04:01 > 0:04:05All right, all right, boys. Give me a chance.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07Yawn.

0:04:07 > 0:04:13Let's all get dressed and have a look at what needs to be done.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Oh, Dad, look!

0:04:15 > 0:04:18What a mess.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Ohh!

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Oh, I wasn't expecting this much damage.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28Are you sure you can repair it, Larry?

0:04:28 > 0:04:30You can do it, can't you, Dad?

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Of course he can!

0:04:32 > 0:04:37Don't worry, my dear. I'm really good at DIY.

0:04:37 > 0:04:38Besides...

0:04:38 > 0:04:42I've got some assistants with strong arms to help me.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44ALL: Yes!

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Well, now we've got everything we need.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Are you holding the ladder, Linda?

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Oops! Yes, dear.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Yes, I'm holding it nice and tight.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03# La-la-la-la-la-la-la. #

0:05:03 > 0:05:07There we are, good as new.

0:05:07 > 0:05:12That wasn't such a tough job, after all. OK, everyone, I've finished.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15Stand back, I'm coming down.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17- Well done, Dad!- Great job!

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Cool!

0:05:19 > 0:05:20Phew, he did it.

0:05:20 > 0:05:25You'll be sleeping in a nice dry room again tonight, boys,

0:05:25 > 0:05:26even if it does rain.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28Pom-pom-pom-pom.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30And now for the drainpipe...

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Aaaagh!

0:05:35 > 0:05:36No!

0:05:37 > 0:05:41Dad, you've broken the window!

0:05:41 > 0:05:44Now the wind AND the rain can get in again.

0:05:44 > 0:05:49Oh, Larry! What a pity, after you did such a great job with the roof.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53But don't you think we should call the builders in now

0:05:53 > 0:05:55to repair the window?

0:05:55 > 0:05:58No. Honestly, Linda, I can take care of the window.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01But first, I'm going to fix the drainpipe.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04Now, what exactly is the problem?

0:06:04 > 0:06:08Look, one of the brackets has come away from the wall.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Oh, well spotted, Lester!

0:06:10 > 0:06:13OK, that shouldn't be too difficult to fix.

0:06:13 > 0:06:17I'm going back up and the work will be done in a few minutes.

0:06:17 > 0:06:18Right, Luke?

0:06:18 > 0:06:22Right, Dad... I hope so.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24Come on, Dad, we're with you.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27Ouch!

0:06:27 > 0:06:29Oh, silly bracket.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32Dad, are you OK?

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Yes, of course.

0:06:34 > 0:06:35It won't take a minute.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Woah-oh-oh!

0:06:37 > 0:06:40- Larry!- Dad!- Hang on, Dad.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49I'm OK, everyone!

0:06:49 > 0:06:50Oof!

0:06:50 > 0:06:55Wow, Dad, I never knew you were such a great acrobat!

0:06:55 > 0:06:59Well, now I've got to get the drainpipe AND the gutter fixed

0:06:59 > 0:07:00before tonight.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02And the broken window, too.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04Larry, dear,

0:07:04 > 0:07:08I really think we should call the builders in to help you now.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12No, Linda. I fixed the roof, didn't I?

0:07:12 > 0:07:14I can easily sort things out.

0:07:15 > 0:07:16How shall we fix this?

0:07:16 > 0:07:18Why don't you put cardboard

0:07:18 > 0:07:21over the hole in the window, Dad?

0:07:21 > 0:07:25Yes, at least it would keep the wind and rain out the room.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Good idea. I'll go and get some cardboard.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31And I'll fetch the sticky tape.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34Isn't it nice to see the children being so helpful?

0:07:34 > 0:07:36Yes, dear.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43I need your help, Lester.

0:07:43 > 0:07:47Can you hold the cardboard while I put the tape round it?

0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Well done, Dad.- Good one, Lester.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56Maybe we could do the same thing for the ceiling.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58I'll check out the damage,

0:07:58 > 0:08:02then you can hand me the cardboard. OK, children?

0:08:02 > 0:08:03ALL: Yes, Dad.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06Linda, dear, can you hand me the hammer, please?

0:08:06 > 0:08:09I just have to fix the insulation.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12- Yes, here you are.- Thanks.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Oh, no!

0:08:17 > 0:08:18Oh, Larry!

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Ohh!

0:08:20 > 0:08:24Oh, no. Those were the new tiles.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Oh, dear.

0:08:30 > 0:08:35So...one gutter and one window pane to fix...

0:08:35 > 0:08:38one drainpipe to replace.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41and, now, the roof to repair too.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45That's twice as much work as when we started.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48I think it's time we called the builders in.

0:08:48 > 0:08:53Great idea, Mum. Then we can get things mended properly.

0:08:53 > 0:08:54Poor Dad.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57He's tried so hard.

0:08:57 > 0:09:02I really thought I could do these odd jobs myself.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05Don't worry, Larry. You can't be good at everything.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09- Woo-hoo, Linda. Woo-hoo.- >

0:09:09 > 0:09:11Anybody there?

0:09:11 > 0:09:14Oh, that's all I need.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16A nice little visit from Mrs Smart

0:09:16 > 0:09:19to really put the cherry on this cake of a day.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22What a terrible mess.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25That wasn't a storm that hit your house,

0:09:25 > 0:09:28it was a full-blown hurricane.

0:09:28 > 0:09:32It's nothing, really. I've started to fix it already.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35You should have asked my husband to help.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39He has all the materials you need. He's a whizz at home improvements.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Please don't bother.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44We were talking about calling the builders.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50Here's a toast to the house repairs.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53And to the builders' good work.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55THUNDER CRASHES

0:09:56 > 0:10:00Quickly, children. Everyone inside.

0:10:00 > 0:10:01DOORBELL RINGS

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Oh!

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Come in, quick.

0:10:08 > 0:10:12Erm, we've got a power cut

0:10:12 > 0:10:16and we couldn't find a single candle in the house.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18And my torch is out of batteries.

0:10:18 > 0:10:22How would you like to join us in the kitchen for a cup of tea?

0:10:22 > 0:10:24BOTH: Yeah!

0:10:24 > 0:10:27Oh, all right, with pleasure.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29If you insist.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31Well, of course we do.

0:10:31 > 0:10:37Come on in to our dry, well-lit house and make yourselves at home.
