0:00:03 > 0:00:06Cos Isaac's got special needs,
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Daddy's always sleeping downstairs.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13We're here to create a brighter future...
0:00:13 > 0:00:17My mum's always stuck in the house, making my mum more tired.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20It feels like the walls are closing in on me.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22..to build a better home
0:00:22 > 0:00:25for a little boy who desperately needs our help.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28All the hopes and dreams that you have for your children,
0:00:28 > 0:00:31all those things have been taken away from him.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35To help this family, everyone is taking it to the limit.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37At some stage we've to go, "That's enough."
0:00:37 > 0:00:38I'm here for a reason,
0:00:38 > 0:00:42to make it all look wonderful and for it to work, surely.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Do it for a reason, then!
0:00:43 > 0:00:47And this one might just get the better of us.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49This is the most difficult job I've done yet.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52It's a lot bigger than what I was hoping.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Can't wait to see it all presented back to the family.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58- Wow.- I like it.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01You've made this our home again.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03We have nine days to complete the build.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07All the usual suspects are here, Julia Kendall is our designer.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11But where are we going to find an army up a cul-de-sac
0:01:11 > 0:01:12in a village in Derbyshire?
0:01:14 > 0:01:15HE WHISTLES LOUDLY
0:01:15 > 0:01:19This is DIY SOS: The Big Build!
0:01:19 > 0:01:21CHEERING
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Loscoe in Derbyshire is home to the Smith family
0:01:32 > 0:01:36and their official spokesperson, Connie, aged 7½.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43In my family, I have my dad, who's a bit grumpy.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Mum, she's very silly.
0:01:48 > 0:01:54My little sister, Violet, is very noisy.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58And my little brother, Isaac,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00he's very giggly.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Mum, Rachael, and Dad, Andy,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07met in 2004, when Rachael got a job where Andy works
0:02:07 > 0:02:09as a civil engineer.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12It wasn't long before romance blossomed.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16I ended up having to ask you out cos I'd still be waiting now.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17I thought you'd say no.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Despite the stand-off, they married in 2006 and, in the following year,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Rachael gave birth to Connie.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28We were so excited to be having our first child and we just
0:02:28 > 0:02:31absolutely loved it, we were in our little bubble, really, I suppose.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Yes, life was good,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35the family moved to a bigger house
0:02:35 > 0:02:38and were overjoyed when they discovered they were expecting
0:02:38 > 0:02:40their second baby. This time, a little boy.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46For me, I wasn't bothered either way and again, cliche, I know,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48I thought as long as the baby's healthy, I'm not bothered.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Rachael had no reason to believe otherwise,
0:02:52 > 0:02:57but 48 hours before the due date, she woke in agonising pain
0:02:57 > 0:03:00and was rushed into hospital.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03The room went from there being one midwife in the room
0:03:03 > 0:03:06to ten people, and we realised something's drastically wrong.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11The pain was Rachael's placenta detaching from her uterus.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15She had haemorrhaged seven pints of blood, leaving both her
0:03:15 > 0:03:17and Baby's life in danger.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20I asked if it was life-threatening and they said...
0:03:20 > 0:03:22She nodded, and I said...
0:03:24 > 0:03:26She then said,
0:03:26 > 0:03:29"You was within five minutes of walking out of here on your own."
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Thankfully, Rachael pulled through,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36but Isaac had been without oxygen for around 20 minutes,
0:03:36 > 0:03:38causing extensive brain damage.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41I remember coming round and thinking,
0:03:41 > 0:03:42"Where's my baby?"
0:03:45 > 0:03:50Isaac was taken into neo-natal care, where he stayed for four weeks.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55My son, my little boy that I wanted to protect,
0:03:55 > 0:03:57I was fast-forwarding, thinking about...
0:03:59 > 0:04:01..what I used to do with my dad when I was growing up.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Having a little lad you can play about with and...
0:04:06 > 0:04:09..and doing everything I did as a boy.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13You just feel that someone's ripped your heart out of your chest
0:04:13 > 0:04:15and just stamped on it, closely followed by, just...
0:04:17 > 0:04:19..a sadness that just engulfs you.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22And then you're feeling guilty for feeling sad because
0:04:22 > 0:04:24you should be feeling grateful that you've got him.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Stretch, mate.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Good boy.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Isaac has the most severe form of cerebral palsy,
0:04:31 > 0:04:33with little to no movement.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36He can't feed or communicate in any way.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41He has a life-limiting condition and has been left almost totally blind.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46I just want him to be my little boy, I want to be able to be...
0:04:49 > 0:04:52..son and Dad.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Good boy. Good boy.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57ISAAC COOS
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Andy and Rachael are fighting to give Isaac the best possible life.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Yay! Well done, mate.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07ISAAC LAUGHS
0:05:08 > 0:05:10He can show pleasure, which is lovely because at one point
0:05:10 > 0:05:13we were told we may not even see a smile.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17The family are doing their best to manage,
0:05:17 > 0:05:21but every aspect of life at home is becoming tougher
0:05:21 > 0:05:24to accommodate Isaac's needs.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26It is physically getting harder day-to-day,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29he's going to get bigger and bigger, and I'll be scared,
0:05:29 > 0:05:31trying to get him up and down the stairs.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Bathing's become an issue for the same reasons.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Trying to get outside in the garden's a task in itself.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40We've got a big step at the back door, none of it's level.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43The front room has become not just Isaac's bedroom
0:05:43 > 0:05:46but his playroom, where he has his physio.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49And because of Isaac's need for round-the-clock care,
0:05:49 > 0:05:52it's also dad Andy's bedroom.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58Mummy and Daddy sleep apart, because one of them has to sleep with Isaac,
0:05:58 > 0:06:02because sometimes he cries in the night.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07Rachael has become Isaac's carer in the daytime, juggling physio,
0:06:07 > 0:06:11hospital visits, and his everyday care whilst looking after
0:06:11 > 0:06:14the rest of the family in a really cramped house.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20My mum and dad help Isaac a lot, he has to have loads of equipment.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Everything's on top of us.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27It creates a lot of pressure after school cos Isaac needs
0:06:27 > 0:06:30to go to bed, so the kitchen's essentially just become the one...
0:06:30 > 0:06:35- We tend to live...do everything, really, in the kitchen.- Yeah, we do.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37It does just feel like all the walls are closing in.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42My mum's always stuck in the house,
0:06:42 > 0:06:47I think the house is making my mum more tired because it's so small.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Not surprisingly, the whole family are at breaking point.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53And that's why we are here.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59So, what do you need us to do to the house?
0:06:59 > 0:07:04It is about giving Isaac his own space and dignity,
0:07:04 > 0:07:07and for the house to function for a family of five.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Just to do something normal, watch a bit of telly at weekends,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12and a place to go to to relax.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Obviously, Isaac's bedroom is our living room.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- The house is fighting against you, basically.- Yes.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19If we can get this turned around to...
0:07:19 > 0:07:22the house that you actually need for the family, big change in lifestyle?
0:07:22 > 0:07:26It would take massive pressure off, especially me, day-to-day.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29There's a lot to do, so we are going to have to destroy
0:07:29 > 0:07:32your family home in order to give you the home that you want.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- Ready?- Yes.- Yep.- Thank you.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Plus she looks like she wants tell a story.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38You chatted all the way through that, didn't you?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40You are possibly the chattiest...
0:07:40 > 0:07:42BABY GURGLES
0:07:42 > 0:07:44I can't get a word in edgeways, and that doesn't happen very often.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46NICK CHUCKLES
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Despite the brave faces, things need to change.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Luckily, this lot think so, too.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55- Morning, everybody. ALL:- Morning.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58They're all very friendly. We need to get you going cos we need
0:07:58 > 0:08:00to let these guys at the house and...
0:08:01 > 0:08:03..don't come back over the next three days
0:08:03 > 0:08:05cos it'll be really, really upsetting.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07LAUGHTER
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- He's giggling.- Thank you, guys.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13So, it is ta-ra to the Smiths
0:08:13 > 0:08:16and hello to this lot of Prince Charmings.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Yeah.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- OK, let's go, lads.- Get in there.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Go and get yourself a look, we'll join you in a minute.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24They're straight in there.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27And that's no bad thing because completing the job in nine days
0:08:27 > 0:08:31is never easy. In fact, it's ludicrous.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Busy. Look.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34NICK CHUCKLES
0:08:34 > 0:08:36This is the only way we stand a chance of getting it done -
0:08:36 > 0:08:40hit it hard and tear it out, rip it up and start again.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42No, we won't play that song, it's too old.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46But as well as destroying, these guys have to build quickly
0:08:46 > 0:08:49a whole timber-frame extension by the end of the day.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51What sayeth you, Mr Perryman?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Oh, yeah, easy. Maybe even by lunchtime.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- Them pills are working!- He's great.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00He's Mr Enthusiasm.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04There are another 80 enthusiastic people here today,
0:09:04 > 0:09:09following the meticulous plan laid out by our designer du jour.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Meet Big Dave.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Just fooling with you, it's of course the lovely Julia Kendall!
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Although, I'm not sure about the pickaxe.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Slightly terrifying, that.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28These houses are actually lovely, beautifully built, miners' cottages.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- They are beautiful. - How are we going to mess them up?
0:09:30 > 0:09:34We're completely ripping the guts out of this place, the reason being,
0:09:34 > 0:09:38we have got to create for the whole family a wonderful, big space
0:09:38 > 0:09:40that's easy for Rachael to navigate
0:09:40 > 0:09:44with the wheelchair and somewhere that's got a fantastic sense
0:09:44 > 0:09:46of vibrancy and positivity about it again.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Scrubs up well for a builder, doesn't she?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Julia's design has us removing most of the walls downstairs
0:09:52 > 0:09:54to create that sense of space and flow,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57starting with the old living room, which we'll turn into
0:09:57 > 0:09:59a new bedroom and wet room for Isaac.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03The old galley kitchen is going. In its place, a spacious
0:10:03 > 0:10:06kitchen-cum-dining area. And at the back of the house,
0:10:06 > 0:10:10we're constructing a timber-frame extension on existing foundations
0:10:10 > 0:10:12to create a comfortable lounge.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Right, let's pop upstairs.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Here, we're widening the old, claustrophobic hallway,
0:10:17 > 0:10:19remodelling the family bathroom and bedrooms,
0:10:19 > 0:10:23and we'll be installing a monitoring system for Rachael and Andy
0:10:23 > 0:10:25so that sleeping downstairs on a mattress will be
0:10:25 > 0:10:27a thing of the past.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28They are a great team together,
0:10:28 > 0:10:32but they need to be a couple together again now.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34So I think in doing what we're doing,
0:10:34 > 0:10:37we're going to create a home that really does allow her
0:10:37 > 0:10:39to breathe again, I think.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Come on, boys.- To achieve this,
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Chris is sending a crew of 30 to destroy the upstairs...
0:10:46 > 0:10:49..and 50 downstairs to remove all the internal walls.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54We're literally tearing it apart quicker than we can get rid of it.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56And chucking it in skips.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Now, tell me this bloke doesn't look like John Prescott.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01How are you doing, mate?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Nice to see you. You're here to save the day.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07But the workload's not worrying him or her,
0:11:07 > 0:11:10because we're working with skilled people who know exactly
0:11:10 > 0:11:12what they're doing. And Billy.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16What I'm doing is getting rid of all the old cables.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Unfortunately, they brought some new ones in
0:11:19 > 0:11:20and I got rid of them as well.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Pilchard!
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Unbelievably, the timber-frame extension is almost up,
0:11:24 > 0:11:28making the floor space downstairs bigger by a third.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Why is there a double truss here and why are these sections in here?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37We just had some extra stuff that we had to use up.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43At the back, we're stripping the old garden, which is massive,
0:11:43 > 0:11:45a colossal 29 metres by 10.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Luckily, that's Julian's territory.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Look through there. Look who's got his feet under the table
0:11:53 > 0:11:55with the neighbour. Cup of coffee,
0:11:55 > 0:11:58choccy biscuit, conversation in the sun.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Which is no bad thing because access is an issue,
0:12:01 > 0:12:04so the neighbours have allowed us to destroy their fencing.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06That's nice, isn't it?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10The neighbour said the house on the corner,
0:12:10 > 0:12:12that was the knocker-upper's house.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15He'd have a big stick with a knocker thing on the end,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18and would walk up the street and bang everybody's doors
0:12:18 > 0:12:19and get everyone out of bed.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22What happens if you were already up?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- The missus wouldn't be happy! - He ends up knocking up the wife!
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Do you want to finish this section off for us now
0:12:30 > 0:12:31so we can move on to something else?
0:12:31 > 0:12:35We shall go over to Jules and see how he's doing in the garden.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38I'm not in the garden, I'm here!
0:12:38 > 0:12:39We were going to see Jules...
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Imagine, you have him for one hour this week,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44we've had him for 16 years!
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Out back, the activity's picked up and what we need is a creative plan
0:12:52 > 0:12:54for this colossal space.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Luckily, Julia has come up with one.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00The design marries both the family and Isaac's need
0:13:00 > 0:13:02for sensory stimulation.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05We'll be sourcing around 100 railway sleepers
0:13:05 > 0:13:10which will frame an artificial grass descent with sweet-smelling borders
0:13:10 > 0:13:12and rustling plants. At the bottom,
0:13:12 > 0:13:15a much-needed therapy hut with hydro-pool,
0:13:15 > 0:13:18so Isaac can stretch and work his muscles every day.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22It's impressive, but, to be honest, VERY ambitious.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25It is going to be so stunning.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28If we ever get it done. There is a heck of a lot to do.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30That's an understatement.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Come on, lads, let's have it.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Right, we'll start with the ten tonne of concrete
0:13:37 > 0:13:39required for the hydro-pool room foundations.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Bang on.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Therapy is vital to Isaac's health and happiness,
0:13:44 > 0:13:47but he currently only has access to it twice a week
0:13:47 > 0:13:49at his specialist school.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53And you're about to see just how much it means to him.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57We still don't know a lot ourselves about what the future's
0:13:57 > 0:14:00going to hold, in terms of what his development's going to be.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01He's giggling.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05ISAAC GIGGLES
0:14:05 > 0:14:07'He has a visual impairment and we don't know to what extent.'
0:14:07 > 0:14:11The images coming into his brain are struggling to be processed
0:14:11 > 0:14:13because of his brain damage, basically.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17You see that one? Well done, Isaac.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19'Any therapy we do with him helps with his condition.'
0:14:21 > 0:14:22I like the red lights.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24That's very good.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27He catches where they are.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Isaac is absolutely a dream.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33He's a very happy young boy, very sociable,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36he needs the environment to be right for him,
0:14:36 > 0:14:39so that he can develop all his senses.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41He needs stimulation.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I mean, Isaac absolutely loves swimming as well,
0:14:46 > 0:14:49so something to do to give him an opportunity with water
0:14:49 > 0:14:50would be lovely.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Lovely.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58'I try to take things one day at a time and not think too far ahead.'
0:14:59 > 0:15:02We just want to try and help him be the best that he can be, really.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07And that is what we want to do for him, in his own home.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Unfortunately, the house is currently being held up
0:15:12 > 0:15:14like a melon on cocktail sticks,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17so it's time to get some strength back in with steel joists,
0:15:17 > 0:15:20and what we need is someone intelligent to explain
0:15:20 > 0:15:22what's happening here.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25What's going on at the moment? Someone explain it.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- They're lifting it up. - I can see they're lifting it up!
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Don't patronise me!
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Do you know what the Egyptians done?
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Murdered each other? Slept with Julius Caesar?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37What did the Egyptians done?
0:15:37 > 0:15:41You're setting a massive piece of stone, you place it on ice,
0:15:41 > 0:15:43so you can get the straps out,
0:15:43 > 0:15:47and the ice melts and slowly goes down into place.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51How do they make ice in Egypt?
0:15:51 > 0:15:55I did not know whether it was the Egyptians, but somebody done it.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57It is like talking to an encyclopaedia.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00An encyclopaedia that's lost the index.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05This is steel number two of five to go in,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08all donated to the build by our lovely trades.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14We've got a three- or four-hour turnaround, thank you very much.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16It is a lot of money's worth, why have you decided
0:16:16 > 0:16:20- to join and help out?- My sister's got a daughter who basically
0:16:20 > 0:16:24got cerebral palsy and they gave her a week to live.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27She's still here now, she's fighting.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31She was 28 the other week, that's gone week to week, so...
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- Wow.- She's done really well.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37The lads have all contributed their time for a good cause.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Brilliant. We really appreciate you joining, as well.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Thank you. See you again in the morning.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44All right, see you tomorrow morning. Thank you very much.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Out the back, the guys are now tamping the concrete foundations,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51which should set in time for a big push in the garden tomorrow.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57What a day, what a day! And all the house is now held up on Acrow props,
0:16:57 > 0:16:59because we've taken walls out and put new steels in there,
0:16:59 > 0:17:01new steels in here, new window there...
0:17:01 > 0:17:04In fact, new windows all around the house apart from two windows,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07a chimney breast taken out, through the Acrow props again,
0:17:07 > 0:17:08grooves in the floor for drainage,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11through more Acrow props which hold up the back of the house
0:17:11 > 0:17:13because it isn't there any more, cos this is the new extension
0:17:13 > 0:17:15with a new roof on already.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Look at the size of it. It's just fantastic.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Back through the Acrow props to a doorway
0:17:19 > 0:17:21that wasn't here this morning. Oh, and we've made a good start
0:17:21 > 0:17:23on the electrics and the plumbing.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24Not bad, eh?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Tomorrow, we'll get busy.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Good morning. Bit too close.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38All right. Yesterday was a magnificent day,
0:17:38 > 0:17:40I feel today is going to be equally magnificent
0:17:40 > 0:17:42although we are facing a bit of an issue with access
0:17:42 > 0:17:45in the egress to the garden. We'll work it out, though.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Yesterday, we cleared out the old backyard, or bombsite,
0:17:50 > 0:17:52as we like to call it, so today it's onto the hard graft,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55constructing our ambitious new garden.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59All this area here is going to be artificial grass.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01All this grass has to come off, the topsoil has to come off.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Landscaping almost 300 square metres
0:18:04 > 0:18:07is, frankly, a big ask from Julia but it is not worrying Farmer Giles,
0:18:07 > 0:18:09sorry, Farmer Jules...
0:18:09 > 0:18:11# Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig it
0:18:11 > 0:18:16# Dig a little trench with m-e-e-e-e! #
0:18:16 > 0:18:19TOOTS HORN ..or Mark.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22But it is affecting Billy. He's none too happy,
0:18:22 > 0:18:23as I've dabbled with his wiring.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27They filled it in with the concrete and they forgot to put the pipe...
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- I asked them not to. - But you shouldn't.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32It goes up the outside of the building.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35The parties that are involved must be informed,
0:18:35 > 0:18:37not someone come along and say...
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Don't, Mark.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41We don't need people coming along and saying,
0:18:41 > 0:18:43we ain't going to put it in there.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- Don't belittle us. You're belittling us.- Who's belittling?- You are.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- I'm not!- We don't want cuddles, we just want to get it sorted.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- He might want a cuddle.- He doesn't. He's got me to cuddle.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56No, I'm upset because no-one involved us.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00We do it for a reason, Nick, not to be undermineded.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03That's what we've been done - undermineded.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Undermined-ed?
0:19:06 > 0:19:07LAUGHTER
0:19:07 > 0:19:10I think for the next few hours,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Billy is best left alone or avoideded.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16In the house upstairs, the wall stud himself,
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Mr Frediani, along with some new buddies,
0:19:19 > 0:19:21are busy changing the room configurations
0:19:21 > 0:19:23so they feel more spacious.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27I just want to pick these bricks up, and throw them
0:19:27 > 0:19:29into no-man's-land, really.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Nothing is being left to chance.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Now, since Isaac's birth,
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Dad, Andy, has not slept in the bedroom upstairs,
0:19:36 > 0:19:38but on a mattress in the living room,
0:19:38 > 0:19:42so he can keep an eye on his son, and that has to have taken its toll.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44You're one of the world's worriers.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48I don't know if I'm the worst, but I'm certainly not the best.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51I worry about things that I can't have any influence over,
0:19:51 > 0:19:55but, needless to say, it doesn't stop me worrying.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58The big thing is Isaac and the kids, Connie and Violet.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03How they deal with the family life that they've been brought into.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09Connie, with how she's dealing with adapting to Isaac, as her brother,
0:20:09 > 0:20:11with the needs he's got.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Isaac, for the first six months of his life, he was in pain,
0:20:14 > 0:20:19abdominal spasms, muscle spasms, the impact was huge.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21When he was still in hospital, she drew a picture
0:20:21 > 0:20:22and stuck it on his bedroom wall.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25And that...
0:20:26 > 0:20:30..upset me, because she drew him with a big smile, saying he's cute.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Within two weeks of him being home,
0:20:33 > 0:20:35she drew another picture, and it had a big, sad face,
0:20:35 > 0:20:37"Cos he's always crying, I don't want him here."
0:20:38 > 0:20:40And that's really tough.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45So, I do worry about how tough mentally she has to be at her age.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Do you worry about the future or try not to think about it?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51It does scare me.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55There is a life expectancy for all of us. Isaac's has been compromised,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57but we don't know by how much.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01And once that's been said to you, how do you deal with it?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03This kind of thing would put a massive pressure
0:21:03 > 0:21:06on your relationship and it has to have done, the stress, strain,
0:21:06 > 0:21:08worry, the sleep deprivation...
0:21:08 > 0:21:10I have seen Rachael, when she's...
0:21:10 > 0:21:13that...strength isn't there.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19I guess, that's one of the worries, that might become the norm.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24I do think a lot of Rachael at home, wanting to be there to help her out,
0:21:24 > 0:21:27with the pressures of dealing with Isaac.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30We have drawn on a hell of a strong relationship.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34And I think the value of that to me...
0:21:37 > 0:21:39..has made me worry a bit more, cos I don't want to lose it.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42I worry that the stress is going to be...
0:21:43 > 0:21:45..reach breaking point.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49'To have Rachael in an environment that is stress-free,
0:21:49 > 0:21:51'that's one less stress that's on Rachael's shoulders,'
0:21:51 > 0:21:54and that will hopefully have a release of the pressure
0:21:54 > 0:21:59all around from the relationship point of view and the family.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- And you're still obviously very much in love with her?- Yeah.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Cos she's...she's amazing.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10It's clear to me that the work we're doing on the house
0:22:10 > 0:22:13won't just help ease the situation with Isaac,
0:22:13 > 0:22:17but relieve the pressure for Andy and Rachael, too.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19There is, however, a slight problem.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23We're getting numerous deliveries but none of them are carrying
0:22:23 > 0:22:26the key ingredient required for Julia's epic garden design.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30OK, not to worry, I understand. OK.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36She wants 100 straight railway sleepers to cut into circular paths.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39I am so keen to keep the shape that we've got
0:22:39 > 0:22:41cos I think it's going to work so beautifully.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44So, I'm going to have to amend the design a little bit.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- Tree to joist?- Tree to joist, about 40 metres off.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- Rather than sleepers.- If you can get 50, then it allows us
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- a little bit of leeway. - I shall see what I can do.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55Hmm, an 8x2 inch
0:22:55 > 0:22:59rectangular wooden block doesn't sound very circular.
0:22:59 > 0:23:028x2 joists will not give you a curve.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04According to my garden specialists who happen to be experts
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- and not TV presenters... - You said we're going to try
0:23:06 > 0:23:07and get 8x2 joists.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11She'd like the feature of the timber sticking out of the ground.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Yes, but she's a designer.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15At some stage, we've got to go, "That's enough."
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- We've changed. - We listen to the designer...
0:23:18 > 0:23:20As opposed to listening to a TV presenter!
0:23:20 > 0:23:23I'm here for a reason - to make it all look wonderful
0:23:23 > 0:23:25and for it work, surely.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27There comes a point where you've got to say,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29"We're not going to achieve that."
0:23:29 > 0:23:31We're not quite at that point yet.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33- It's achievable.- Thank you.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34All will be well.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Before I had a conversation with Nick,
0:23:39 > 0:23:43I was quite happy as long as it ended up working the way I wanted,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45but now that we've had that conversation,
0:23:45 > 0:23:48I am absolutely determined it's going to be finished, frankly.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Fighting talk from Kendall there,
0:23:50 > 0:23:52who used to be a boxer when she was a man.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54There's one bit of the garden design I am happy with.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57When it's up, the therapy hut will house a hydro-pool and hoist,
0:23:57 > 0:23:59which means more electrics.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Upstairs. Sparks in the bathroom.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05Billy and his team are installing
0:24:05 > 0:24:09over 1,000 metres of electrical cable in this build,
0:24:09 > 0:24:11which is a big responsibility.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15We just found two cables. We're wondering where they go.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17You can't win them all, Bill, something won't switch on.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21We are winning in the old living room, however,
0:24:21 > 0:24:23as the timber frame for Isaac's wet room has emerged.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28And the boys on the roof have been very busy.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31What do you make of the site? It is weird and different.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35It's busy. Never seen so many blokes on site.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38It's nice you've got so many people giving up their time to do it.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Sometimes, you give money to charity, you don't know
0:24:40 > 0:24:43where it goes. With this, you can see physically what difference
0:24:43 > 0:24:45you're making in someone's life.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Who's the big fella? Is he one of your lot?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- That's John.- That's Grandad. - That's Grandad!
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- Is that right? - It's my father-in-law.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- Is that right? - Godfather of fascias.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57The Godfather of fascias!
0:24:59 > 0:25:02And Chris's team should feel very proud of their performances
0:25:02 > 0:25:04in the bedroom.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Basically, we've had the joiners in,
0:25:06 > 0:25:10we've replaced all the rotten walls, ready for a big day tomorrow,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12the plasterers will be here,
0:25:12 > 0:25:15and we can start putting this little baby back together again.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Now, that's an offer we can't refuse.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20MUSIC: Theme from The Godfather
0:25:23 > 0:25:24He really IS the Godfather!
0:25:30 > 0:25:33It's our third day on site and it's centre stage for Mr Frediani's
0:25:33 > 0:25:37favourite trade, a veritable spread of plasterers.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40My boys, look at them, look.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42They're like ants all over it.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44There's a couple of rolls of scrim there.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Big ants, mind you. Rachael felt the walls were closing in on her,
0:25:46 > 0:25:49so Chris and the boys have been working on getting
0:25:49 > 0:25:52the upstairs area feeling and looking more spacious.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55Beautiful.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59We've just pushed these walls out to give more access up here,
0:25:59 > 0:26:02so they're going to re-board and then re-skim the upstairs,
0:26:02 > 0:26:05giving the sparkies and the plumber time downstairs
0:26:05 > 0:26:08to finish the kitchen area, but I'm very excited
0:26:08 > 0:26:09cos there's about 16 plasterers
0:26:09 > 0:26:11on board and they've only got the upstairs to do.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13So, they'll eat this.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Nice.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Christopher is a happy work bunny, but after Cablegate,
0:26:18 > 0:26:22I'm approaching Billy with extreme caution.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- Am I allowed to hug you today? - Course you are!
0:26:25 > 0:26:28That's all forgotten, that is all forgotten.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30I have to say, I'm sorry that I undermineded you.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37So long as the...it's, erm... What can I say now?
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Aw, he's all totes emosh.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Outside, they're bricking it,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45and in the garden, someone's digging it,
0:26:45 > 0:26:47having a lovely time courtesy of a three-tonne machine.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56But despite my reasonably and politely explained objections,
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Julia is refusing to scale back on the garden design,
0:26:59 > 0:27:01which is putting these guys under pressure.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05We are on top of it.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- We're getting there. - Enjoy the rest of the day
0:27:08 > 0:27:10and I'll try and keep the designer away from you.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12LAUGHTER
0:27:12 > 0:27:14At the bottom of the controversial slope,
0:27:14 > 0:27:18the therapy hut is up and, I have to say, is looking fantastic.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21It's being clad in natural cedar, which is hard-wearing
0:27:21 > 0:27:23and, by the way, smells fantastic.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25I wish you could have a scratch and sniff telly
0:27:25 > 0:27:28so you could smell the cedar. It's really beautiful.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Very lovely. It's pretty, isn't it?
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Feel free to dance to the music, by the way.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38On the inside, we're waiting on the plasterers to do their thing.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Look at them go, they're magnificent, it's flying up.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45It's manic, mate, absolutely manic in here.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47It's a good laugh, though. But it's mad.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48It is mad.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Nevertheless, Chris is ploughing on
0:27:51 > 0:27:54with making the floors wheelchair-friendly.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56Where you had the walls,
0:27:56 > 0:27:59there's a slight discrepancy, so we need to self-level it tonight,
0:27:59 > 0:28:02get everyone out till tomorrow, when we can carry on
0:28:02 > 0:28:05with the plasterboarding and skimming. That's our plan.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09The reason everyone's working so hard? Well, it's the family.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13This house hasn't fitted their needs for some time and that's especially
0:28:13 > 0:28:17hard for Mum, Rachael, who feels trapped in her own home.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19What would people not understand
0:28:19 > 0:28:23about what you do on a day-to-day basis? How do you cope?
0:28:23 > 0:28:25The honest truth is I don't know.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Every day with a child with special needs is hard,
0:28:28 > 0:28:31even just getting them dressed, getting him in and out of his pram,
0:28:31 > 0:28:34putting him to bed, he's on pain relief all the time because
0:28:34 > 0:28:37he has a lot of muscle spasms as part of his cerebral palsy.
0:28:37 > 0:28:38SHE BREATHES IN DEEPLY
0:28:38 > 0:28:42He's got a sleep disorder, so we have broken sleep most nights.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44That makes it difficult to function.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47If you're getting sleep, you can pretty much cope with anything.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50That's become the norm, really, broken sleep every night.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53That's an internationally banned form of torture.
0:28:53 > 0:28:54Yeah, it is. I can see why.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58How do you think Andy copes with it?
0:28:58 > 0:29:01I always worry more about Andy than about me.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04It does put a massive strain on our relationship together.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08I used to feel that nothing could touch us but, as time has gone on,
0:29:08 > 0:29:12it's hard sometimes. I think Andy's struggled a lot more than me,
0:29:12 > 0:29:16to be honest. I know he feels a lot of guilt that his life
0:29:16 > 0:29:17hasn't really changed.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20He still goes out to work every day, whereas I'm at home
0:29:20 > 0:29:23and he worries about me a hell of a lot.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26Would it be fair to say that it's been wearing you out?
0:29:26 > 0:29:29I feel pretty wrung out just lately.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31I do have my days when I could just sit and cry.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35It can come over me all of a sudden. If I was to actually start crying,
0:29:35 > 0:29:38I would be worried I wouldn't be able to stop.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43You can see every day what Isaac gets from you,
0:29:43 > 0:29:45what do you get from Isaac?
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Just the joy from seeing him laugh,
0:29:47 > 0:29:49the fact that he can show pleasure for things...
0:29:50 > 0:29:52He's just amazing,
0:29:52 > 0:29:55every single day is like the first time you've seen it.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57ISAAC LAUGHS AND GURGLES
0:29:59 > 0:30:03Even if a doctor categorically told me he's never going to do this,
0:30:03 > 0:30:06I think, as a parent, you've still got that fighting spirit.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08You might be able to do something, you never do know.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11There's always got to be that hope there,
0:30:11 > 0:30:14and I suppose that's what keeps us going, really.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Well, we might be 2,500 man-hours in,
0:30:26 > 0:30:29but this place is far from finished.
0:30:29 > 0:30:30And Mark knows it.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31HORN TOOTS
0:30:33 > 0:30:35- Where do you want to be today, then? - The pub.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Really, where'd you want to be HERE?
0:30:37 > 0:30:39We want this circle feature in,
0:30:39 > 0:30:41just to prove that it does work,
0:30:41 > 0:30:44so when Nick comes back he can say sorry.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Is that Nick the garden designer or Nick the electrician?
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- Nick the Oracle. - Nick the Oracle, right, OK.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51So we can say we were right.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53I'm not accustomed to sticking my nose in,
0:30:53 > 0:30:56but I will say getting ten tonnes of hardcore down
0:30:56 > 0:30:59in four hours is asking the impossible.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02THEY WHISTLE Theme from The Great Escape
0:31:02 > 0:31:04That's it.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Yeah, but there is no escaping this job!
0:31:10 > 0:31:12If that's all done tonight,
0:31:12 > 0:31:15I'm going to pull my pants down and run down the garden
0:31:15 > 0:31:17- with my bare bum out. - Yeah, please don't.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19You know who I blame?
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Kick-arse Kendall, that's who.
0:31:21 > 0:31:22It'll get done.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Honestly. Have faith.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27The guys... See how many there are out there!
0:31:27 > 0:31:30They're all looking at each other going, "Help!"
0:31:30 > 0:31:31See?
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Irrespective of the garden issues, we've got a schedule to stick to,
0:31:35 > 0:31:39so the kitchen's arrived and joiners are joining things.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41But the inside isn't quite ready.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43However, they are smiling.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45- Are we all happy? - ALL:- Yeah!
0:31:45 > 0:31:48And they are all happy, I didn't have to give them any money.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Cup of tea on the go whilst working.
0:31:51 > 0:31:52See, he's happy, look.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Chris's boys have now happily worked their way over
0:31:55 > 0:31:57virtually every piece of board in the place,
0:31:57 > 0:31:59that's every wall and ceiling.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Another hour-and-a-half of skimming this and then we'll be done.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05The old living room's gone
0:32:05 > 0:32:07and in its place is a wheelchair-accessible bedroom
0:32:07 > 0:32:09and wet room.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14We're also making it easier to get into the house with widened doorways
0:32:14 > 0:32:16and a new flattened curve.
0:32:18 > 0:32:19There are no half measures here
0:32:19 > 0:32:21which means a phenomenal amount of work,
0:32:21 > 0:32:23so Billy is boosting morale.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29My granddaughter's got a pet mouse and it died.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32I got the phone call, it's died. It was called Elvis,
0:32:32 > 0:32:34it was caught in a trap.
0:32:35 > 0:32:36It's a joke.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38I think I preferred him angry!
0:32:42 > 0:32:44That's the last bit of plastering.
0:32:46 > 0:32:47Have you enjoyed it?
0:32:47 > 0:32:49- Yeah, it's been great.- Fantastic.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52I'd be here for blimming six weeks doing this by myself,
0:32:52 > 0:32:53do you know what I mean?
0:32:53 > 0:32:57It's good craic. Throw the boys at it, they'll get it done.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06OK, just four days left in the build,
0:33:06 > 0:33:09normally at this stage we'd have broken the back of the garden,
0:33:09 > 0:33:10but this job looks like it might break us.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13The thing is we simply can't ask any more
0:33:13 > 0:33:15of the people working on it.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Very suddenly, we have to put a gentle rocket
0:33:17 > 0:33:21- up the posterior of the garden. - Of the garden, right.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23You can't ask any more!
0:33:23 > 0:33:27This is a very big job, a lot bigger than what I was hoping.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Yes. And I said the design wouldn't help.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32We've been trying to cut circles out of square timber
0:33:32 > 0:33:35for the past five days, and it's nowhere near finished.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37I warned you, I said.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Comes round all the way, that.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41- Both sides.- Yes.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43That would do it, wouldn't it?
0:33:43 > 0:33:45It will be a lot easier.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Finally a voice of reason.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48Thank you.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52That's more like Chagford.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56This is getting ridiculous, we're not going to finish this.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59It doesn't matter what the designers say, there's got to come a point,
0:33:59 > 0:34:02when we go, "That's it, that's enough." Whatever we've got,
0:34:02 > 0:34:04we have to lawn the rest of it and finish.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Let's give it until three o'clock this afternoon.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Cos we've got a lot of extra people turning up and if they turn up
0:34:09 > 0:34:12and we have a good push on, then we'll call it at three.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Fair enough.
0:34:15 > 0:34:16So the garden is in the balance,
0:34:16 > 0:34:19but at least the house is looking less wrecked, which means
0:34:19 > 0:34:22the decorators get to splash on some colour.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Just realised she's on telly.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28It's going to the wire, I suppose,
0:34:28 > 0:34:30but everyone knows what they're doing, don't they, so...
0:34:30 > 0:34:32We're used to a bit of pressure.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34The decorators aren't the only team under pressure.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37The joiners have a lot on their plate.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Julia's design has space-saving cupboards
0:34:39 > 0:34:43- and a new fabulous kitchen area. - Looking good, isn't it?- Yes, it is.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46I'd like to see it all finished, and everyone's out of the way,
0:34:46 > 0:34:49and when it gets presented back to the family.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Yeah, that's something we're all looking forward to.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Every single member of this family
0:34:53 > 0:34:56has been affected by Isaac's condition.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00When Isaac was born, Connie was only four.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02And his illness had a big impact on her.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Connie loves to draw pictures of the whole family,
0:35:06 > 0:35:11so Julia has asked her to create something just for the house.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15I found these really lovely little pennants,
0:35:15 > 0:35:16and I thought what we could do
0:35:16 > 0:35:19is paint one for everybody in the family.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Shall I do one for your dad, maybe?
0:35:21 > 0:35:22Mm...
0:35:22 > 0:35:25- Yeah?- You'll have to put quite a lot of football on the front.
0:35:25 > 0:35:26Football on it! Will I?
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Forest and football.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Right, OK, so, off you go, then, sweetie.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35I'm doing a bit of a dinosaur cos Isaac likes creatures.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39Yeah. That's lovely.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44So, what's it been like up until now, until we got hold of the house?
0:35:44 > 0:35:46It's been...
0:35:46 > 0:35:51It's been a bit tricky for everyone, especially my mum.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54- Right.- And my sister's a monkey, so it's even harder.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57She's a monkey, is she? Aw!
0:35:57 > 0:36:02I'm going to put some smiley faces, because Isaac's always giggling.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04He IS always giggling, isn't he?
0:36:04 > 0:36:07I've noticed that. He seems very, very happy. It wasn't like that
0:36:07 > 0:36:10in the beginning, was it, I think, when he was born.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Much better now, but he still cries a bit.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16So, do you think that when Isaac's got his own bedroom
0:36:16 > 0:36:18that it's going to make him happier?
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Yeah? That's lovely.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24You're going to have a nice, big, smiley face.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Yay! That's fabulous.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29I think he's going to love that.
0:36:31 > 0:36:32I think so too.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Back at the house, and the garden isn't where it needs to be
0:36:35 > 0:36:38at this late stage, but we have got extra people
0:36:38 > 0:36:40and they've brought gifts.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Can I guess, from the van, that you've got a hot tub for us?
0:36:43 > 0:36:46- Oh, yes!- Is it big? - Yeah, massive.
0:36:46 > 0:36:47Look at the ridiculous...!
0:36:47 > 0:36:50- That's never going to go in the shed!- Oh, yes, it will!
0:36:50 > 0:36:53It's all been designed for the size of the hot tub.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57It is the most... I don't know what they were expecting, you know,
0:36:57 > 0:37:00it is a hot tub, it's not a bath. And frankly, you know,
0:37:00 > 0:37:03of course all the family are going to want to use it.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07They're not going to expect the other children
0:37:07 > 0:37:10to stand by and watch, are they? I mean, how ridiculous.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Release the tub!
0:37:12 > 0:37:14See, I told you it would fit.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Yeah. No, it does fit. It does fit.
0:37:16 > 0:37:17Up, and...
0:37:24 > 0:37:26- Oh, yeah.- How's that?- That is...
0:37:28 > 0:37:29More realistic?
0:37:32 > 0:37:34OK, I'll give her that. She can get a tub in a shed.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37But this design is becoming my nemesis, it's crazy.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39We're on version three of the circles,
0:37:39 > 0:37:43and all the posts need individually cutting and placing.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47HE IMITATES A TRUMPET
0:37:47 > 0:37:49The last post.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51The last post!
0:37:51 > 0:37:52LAUGHTER
0:37:52 > 0:37:54That's pretty good, actually!
0:37:54 > 0:37:57With only two days left, it's now decision time.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01We said that at three o'clock we'd take a view on where we are
0:38:01 > 0:38:03with this garden. Are we now in a position we can say we can
0:38:03 > 0:38:06stick with the design, or do we have to cut holes in it?
0:38:08 > 0:38:10- Stick with it.- You reckon we've got it back under control?
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Yeah. Just.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Just. Really, really happening.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Well done, you, because this has been your... Can I interrupt
0:38:17 > 0:38:21- your brownie just for a second?- It's not a brownie! It's actually tiffin.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23- And it's really, really nice. - Well, I don't care how nice it is,
0:38:23 > 0:38:26I'm trying to interview you for the programme,
0:38:26 > 0:38:29and you're sat there chewing away like a munching cow.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32So... It's almost finished, now.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34What, the garden? Are we still talking about the garden,
0:38:34 > 0:38:36- or the tiffin?- The tiffin.
0:38:36 > 0:38:37Unbelievable.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41In the house, the guys are busy installing equipment
0:38:41 > 0:38:43that should make life much easier.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46A new top-of-the-range hoist will mean Isaac can move comfortably
0:38:46 > 0:38:49from his bedroom through to his wet room.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52A bit of grouting going on in here, which is very lovely.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54A nice finish on the tiles.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58The boys are fitting one of these all-singing, all-dancing toilets.
0:38:59 > 0:39:00Fantastic.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03With so many trades all in at the same time,
0:39:03 > 0:39:05things can go wrong.
0:39:07 > 0:39:08Yes, not good.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11What's happened here?
0:39:11 > 0:39:14- Er...- Oh, that's not good. - Plaster's coming off the wall.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18That's bad. That's unusual, in fact. In the rush to get things done,
0:39:18 > 0:39:21we've ripped some wallpaper and tried to replace it with a new bit,
0:39:21 > 0:39:23but the plaster has come away with it.
0:39:23 > 0:39:2716 years, first time I've ever seen a plastering disaster.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29- It's not a disaster. - Well, it's come off the wall, Chris,
0:39:29 > 0:39:32- I'd say that's a disaster. - No, what was a disaster
0:39:32 > 0:39:34was the chipping of the wallpaper. If it hadn't have pulled
0:39:34 > 0:39:37the wallpaper off, it would have dried it all back in.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40- Oh, it would have sucked it in and stayed, would it?- Yeah, yeah,
0:39:40 > 0:39:43- we'd have been all right.- All right, so it's his fault, then, mostly.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- The joiner's fault.- The big fella there is going, "Oh..."
0:39:46 > 0:39:49I don't believe that. I don't believe it.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Are we all rights to do that, lads, strip it back to that corner?
0:39:52 > 0:39:54- Yeah, yeah.- And then... And then just wallpaper straight over.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57- Have we got enough wallpaper to carry?- Yeah.- Fine. Brilliant.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Excellent. Crisis - and blame - averted.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Everyone is busting a gut to push this over the line.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06I'm still not convinced, however, about the design.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10- What's gone wrong here?- What do you mean what's gone wrong?
0:40:10 > 0:40:12It's beautiful. We've got a fabulous wallpaper here,
0:40:12 > 0:40:14just introducing some texture and colour.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Wait. It will be lovely.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17Do you... Yeah, hm.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20But it's going to take a bit more than just trust
0:40:20 > 0:40:22to get the outside done on the last day.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Well, at least it's not raining.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28The weather has actually been very good to us whilst we're here.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31I'm not convinced, though, what I'm being told,
0:40:31 > 0:40:34which is that this space out here is going to be a beautiful environment
0:40:34 > 0:40:37in which the family can enjoy themselves as from tomorrow night.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39I still think there's at least two days' work here,
0:40:39 > 0:40:41which is a bit of a worry cos we have to finish tomorrow night.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44We've only got one day left. But, then, what do I know?
0:40:44 > 0:40:45We'll find out whether I'm right
0:40:45 > 0:40:48or they're right tomorrow. See you, then.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Overnight, we've received some bad news.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Isaac has been rushed into hospital
0:40:58 > 0:41:01with seizures and breathing difficulties.
0:41:04 > 0:41:05He is now stable,
0:41:05 > 0:41:07but will stay in with Dad, Andy,
0:41:07 > 0:41:11while Mum, Rachael, looks after the other kids.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13It's times like this I'm reminded of the worries
0:41:13 > 0:41:15this family must face every day.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Since Isaac's diagnosis,
0:41:19 > 0:41:22it's tested my strength and my family's strength beyond...
0:41:22 > 0:41:25anything we ever thought we'd ever have to go through.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Worrying about...
0:41:28 > 0:41:31how long we may or may not have with him.
0:41:31 > 0:41:32You don't think...
0:41:32 > 0:41:34any of your children are going to go before you.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39I worry about Isaac because he's just so vulnerable,
0:41:39 > 0:41:41because he can't tell anybody what he wants.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43I try to...
0:41:43 > 0:41:45I try to stay positive,
0:41:45 > 0:41:48a lot of the time, and just try and hope that...
0:41:50 > 0:41:53He won't be able to do certain things.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55It's scary to think that he might...
0:41:55 > 0:41:57he might never know who I am.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02It scares me that...
0:42:03 > 0:42:05..not only will he not know who I am but...
0:42:07 > 0:42:09..he'll never be able to run to me,
0:42:09 > 0:42:12give me a cuddle, he'll never be able to say, "Mummy."
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Isaac has had to fight for life from day one.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23But his strength continues to surprise both medics
0:42:23 > 0:42:25and those who love him most.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Things we take for granted, he struggles with
0:42:30 > 0:42:32every second.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34So, if he can keep going with that fight every day, then that...
0:42:34 > 0:42:37that gives me the strength to keep going.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44We are on our last day,
0:42:44 > 0:42:47and with news that Isaac is doing better, we are now more determined
0:42:47 > 0:42:50than ever to give this family a home to come back to.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56And, at last, the garden has turned a corner.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Or, if you like, a swirl.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02- You've got a big day today, haven't you?- Very big. Very big.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05Is there a resin you use to bond it all together?
0:43:05 > 0:43:07- Yeah, there's a glue that we use. - How long does that take to get on?
0:43:07 > 0:43:10- Normally, 24 hours. - We haven't got 24 hours, really.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12We need to keep off the joints.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16And not all of us are feeling the stress.
0:43:16 > 0:43:20# Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me
0:43:20 > 0:43:23# Don't you wish your girlfriend was a freak like me... #
0:43:23 > 0:43:25Arr, proper 'andsome, he is!
0:43:27 > 0:43:30The inside is looking a little underdone,
0:43:30 > 0:43:32but I can't fault their enthusiasm.
0:43:32 > 0:43:36You enjoying yourself in there? Are you having a good time?
0:43:36 > 0:43:39Is it just you? Who are you talking to you in there?
0:43:39 > 0:43:41It's a little bit of a squeeze!
0:43:41 > 0:43:42We had six in there yesterday.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47You've got 20 tonne of topsoil turning up. How are you feeling?
0:43:47 > 0:43:49- ALL:- Yeah!
0:43:49 > 0:43:51Well, there's just three hours to get the job done,
0:43:51 > 0:43:53and we're still bringing
0:43:53 > 0:43:55huge amounts of materials into the garden.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58However, the plants have arrived.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01Sensory-wise, this is great, cos when the wind gets you,
0:44:01 > 0:44:04you get all the noise of it rustling.
0:44:04 > 0:44:06That garden that was a dead space is going to really come to life,
0:44:06 > 0:44:10isn't it? Julia's design aims to ease the family's situation,
0:44:10 > 0:44:14but, right now, it's putting the thumbscrews on this lot.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18I've been laying this artificial grass for the past six years.
0:44:18 > 0:44:22This is the most difficult, intricate job that I've done yet.
0:44:22 > 0:44:23Yeah, sorry about that.
0:44:24 > 0:44:25Julia!
0:44:27 > 0:44:28Finding it stressful, are we?
0:44:28 > 0:44:31We've got to be out of here in about ten minutes, I think.
0:44:31 > 0:44:34We're under a bit of pressure, to be honest.
0:44:34 > 0:44:37If you don't need to be in the house, don't go into the house.
0:44:40 > 0:44:42Good job.
0:44:42 > 0:44:44Greengrass, it's not going to your house.
0:44:44 > 0:44:45LAUGHTER
0:44:45 > 0:44:49But, as we rush to the finish line, I can't wait to hand it back.
0:44:51 > 0:44:54Eight hours ago, I said this garden wouldn't be finished,
0:44:54 > 0:44:56and I was wrong. It is. But we can't show it to you,
0:44:56 > 0:44:57at this point, we're not allowed to.
0:44:59 > 0:45:01Go on, just a quick, sneaky peek, then.
0:45:01 > 0:45:03That's enough.
0:45:03 > 0:45:04It's good, isn't it?
0:45:07 > 0:45:10Just nine days ago, we arrived to find a family in despair.
0:45:10 > 0:45:14Struggling day-to-day with everything from sleep deprivation
0:45:14 > 0:45:15to leaving the house.
0:45:15 > 0:45:19It literally just feels like the walls are just closing in on me.
0:45:19 > 0:45:23With a severely disabled son needing special care around the clock,
0:45:23 > 0:45:26their home was claustrophobic and working against them.
0:45:26 > 0:45:28I worry that the stress is going to reach breaking point.
0:45:30 > 0:45:32At a time when they needed to be strong and come together,
0:45:32 > 0:45:35the house was forcing everybody apart.
0:45:35 > 0:45:42Cos Isaac's got special needs, Daddy's always sleeping downstairs.
0:45:42 > 0:45:44Something had to be done.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47Look, it's busy. Look!
0:45:48 > 0:45:52We sent out an SOS, and Derbyshire responded.
0:45:52 > 0:45:54Heroes, every single one of them.
0:45:55 > 0:45:58Just take a look at what they've built.
0:46:00 > 0:46:04At the front, there is a new drive, and wheelchair-friendly ramp,
0:46:04 > 0:46:08and widened doorways so Rachael and Andy no longer have to
0:46:08 > 0:46:11struggle to get in and out of their own home.
0:46:12 > 0:46:15Inside, the old cramped kitchen has gone,
0:46:15 > 0:46:17and, I have to say, Julia's design is magnificent,
0:46:17 > 0:46:20with a new kitchen and a fantastic dining area.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26And, at the back of the house, we've extended out
0:46:26 > 0:46:28to make a comfortable family lounge.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30Something they were desperate for.
0:46:32 > 0:46:37The old living room, which doubled as Dad's bedroom, is no more.
0:46:37 > 0:46:40In its place, we've built a brand-new stylish bedroom
0:46:40 > 0:46:43and wet room for Isaac, all easy access,
0:46:43 > 0:46:44with the equipment he needs,
0:46:44 > 0:46:46without ever looking clinical.
0:46:50 > 0:46:51Upstairs, we've widened the hallway,
0:46:51 > 0:46:54making the whole area feel less cramped,
0:46:54 > 0:46:56and redesigned the family bathroom.
0:46:59 > 0:47:02Violet's room and Connie's room have been transformed.
0:47:02 > 0:47:06Now, they are spaces to be proud of, bright and girlie,
0:47:06 > 0:47:08and worthy of sleepovers.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13And, finally, Mum and Dad's room.
0:47:13 > 0:47:17A fully integrated monitoring system connects with Isaac's bedroom,
0:47:17 > 0:47:21meaning Rachael and Andy can finally get some rest in comfort.
0:47:23 > 0:47:24And that's not all. The garden,
0:47:24 > 0:47:28once inaccessible to a little boy reliant on his senses,
0:47:28 > 0:47:30is now breathtaking.
0:47:33 > 0:47:36Julia's circular paths are bordered with plants that will appeal to
0:47:36 > 0:47:40Isaac's hearing and sense of smell, leading to the therapy hut,
0:47:40 > 0:47:43where he can have regular hydrotherapy sessions
0:47:43 > 0:47:46to help with his development.
0:47:46 > 0:47:4985 construction workers today have been working to try
0:47:49 > 0:47:51and give you the house you need. So...
0:47:51 > 0:47:53open your eyes.
0:47:56 > 0:47:57Oh, my God!
0:47:57 > 0:48:00Oh, my...
0:48:00 > 0:48:01It's just amazing.
0:48:04 > 0:48:06Oh, God.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10That's incredible. Absolutely incredible.
0:48:10 > 0:48:12I love it. Absolutely love it.
0:48:14 > 0:48:16We get to live here.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18Oh! Look what they've done.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22Can I draw your attention to the middle one,
0:48:22 > 0:48:24the face that Connie's painted for Isaac.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26- Oh, he's smiling.- Big smile.
0:48:27 > 0:48:32She always drew him smiling when he was first born, didn't she?
0:48:32 > 0:48:33Oh, that's amazing.
0:48:35 > 0:48:37- Have a look. - I love all the colours.
0:48:37 > 0:48:39She couldn't have got the colours any better, could she?
0:48:39 > 0:48:41I just love it, love it all.
0:48:41 > 0:48:44- So pretty.- How lucky are we?
0:48:44 > 0:48:45It's just amazing.
0:48:45 > 0:48:47It's incredible.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49It's overwhelming.
0:48:51 > 0:48:53Look at the pictures.
0:48:53 > 0:48:55It's just beyond my wildest dreams, to be honest.
0:48:55 > 0:48:58Well, we've only just started. There's a lot more to show you.
0:48:58 > 0:49:00- OK.- Will you come and have a look?
0:49:00 > 0:49:02- I think so.- I think so, yeah.
0:49:02 > 0:49:05- Right, come on. - Get my mind round all this.
0:49:08 > 0:49:11- Oh...- Oh, wow.
0:49:14 > 0:49:15It's not the same room!
0:49:17 > 0:49:19Oh, God, look at his...
0:49:19 > 0:49:21It's amazing.
0:49:23 > 0:49:26His bed, it doesn't look like a hospital bed!
0:49:27 > 0:49:30It's just...it just looks like a little boy's bed.
0:49:30 > 0:49:32That's what we wanted, isn't it?
0:49:32 > 0:49:34Just...
0:49:34 > 0:49:39his own space, a bit of a choice and some dignity, and it's...
0:49:40 > 0:49:43- It just doesn't... - You guys have given it us.
0:49:43 > 0:49:44Given it him.
0:49:46 > 0:49:47This is phenomenal.
0:49:47 > 0:49:51The monitoring system will link to a tablet which we
0:49:51 > 0:49:54have for you as well, so that, basically,
0:49:54 > 0:49:56you two will be able to be upstairs in your bedroom
0:49:56 > 0:49:59with being able to see him all the time that you want to see him,
0:49:59 > 0:50:02you'll be able hear him all the time you want to see him on the tablet.
0:50:02 > 0:50:05That'll just make such a difference, won't it?
0:50:10 > 0:50:12- That's it.- Just feel that.
0:50:14 > 0:50:17- Oh, wow.- Oh, what a space!
0:50:17 > 0:50:20It's amazing. We'll be able to just move him from here...
0:50:21 > 0:50:25..just to over there and not having to lift him up and down the stairs.
0:50:25 > 0:50:27I feel like words aren't enough. I can't believe
0:50:27 > 0:50:29what my eyes are seeing, to be honest.
0:50:29 > 0:50:31- They've nailed it, haven't they? - Completely.
0:50:31 > 0:50:34This isn't a house just for Isaac, obviously.
0:50:34 > 0:50:35It's got to be a house for you guys as well.
0:50:35 > 0:50:38Family space downstairs, but you've got to get other rooms upstairs.
0:50:38 > 0:50:39Ready to see some more?
0:50:39 > 0:50:41I think so!
0:50:42 > 0:50:44- Oh!- Oh!- Step in.
0:50:44 > 0:50:45Have a look.
0:50:45 > 0:50:47Oh, beautiful...
0:50:47 > 0:50:49I love it. I love it all.
0:50:49 > 0:50:51Is that a big enough mirror for you?
0:50:51 > 0:50:54Yeah, don't think you're getting a look-in.
0:50:57 > 0:50:58Oh, wow!
0:51:01 > 0:51:03Oh, God, it's stunning.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10- Seriously?! - It's absolutely stunning, isn't it?
0:51:13 > 0:51:14Wow.
0:51:16 > 0:51:19It just feels like everything's changed, but it's...
0:51:19 > 0:51:21I think something had to change, because we'd...
0:51:21 > 0:51:24we'd pretty much hit rock-bottom, to be honest.
0:51:31 > 0:51:32It just means the world.
0:51:33 > 0:51:36To take the pressure off Rachael on a day-to-day basis was always
0:51:36 > 0:51:40a big worry of mine, and so much of those worries have just dissipated
0:51:40 > 0:51:42with what we've seen today.
0:51:42 > 0:51:45Can you see the future being better now?
0:51:45 > 0:51:48Yeah... I can see it...
0:51:48 > 0:51:49I can feel it already.
0:51:49 > 0:51:52I can visualise what it's going to be like now,
0:51:52 > 0:51:56just moving around in the house and just doing day-to-day things.
0:51:56 > 0:51:58It can give us time to be...
0:51:58 > 0:51:59to be a couple again.
0:51:59 > 0:52:04I think the light at the end of the tunnel's just...brighter.
0:52:04 > 0:52:06Definitely.
0:52:15 > 0:52:18- What do you think, Connie? - I like it.
0:52:18 > 0:52:21- Disco ball!- Look at your light!
0:52:21 > 0:52:23One day, can Emily come and sleep over?
0:52:23 > 0:52:26Course she can, darling. Yeah.
0:52:28 > 0:52:30Violet Rose, what do you think of your room?
0:52:30 > 0:52:35Oh, what is it? What is it?
0:52:35 > 0:52:37Do you like it?
0:52:37 > 0:52:39Wow!
0:52:39 > 0:52:41- SHE GURGLES - What do you think?
0:52:48 > 0:52:50- Hey, mister. - Hey, look at your new room!
0:52:50 > 0:52:52It's your new bedroom.
0:52:52 > 0:52:55- Look at it.- It's your new bedroom. What do you think to your bed?
0:52:56 > 0:52:58Have a look at this fox, mate. It's your bedroom!
0:52:58 > 0:53:02- What is it?- Yeah. Look at him.
0:53:02 > 0:53:04- Yeah.- Do you like it?
0:53:04 > 0:53:07He's going to like the light over there, I think.
0:53:07 > 0:53:08The light.
0:53:14 > 0:53:16Out you come.
0:53:16 > 0:53:17Oh!
0:53:19 > 0:53:20Oh, wow!
0:53:22 > 0:53:23I'm just speechless.
0:53:23 > 0:53:25What do you think, Connie?
0:53:25 > 0:53:27- I love it.- It's wonderful.
0:53:27 > 0:53:29Kind of cute, isn't it?
0:53:29 > 0:53:31I could never have dreamed of it being this fantastic.
0:53:31 > 0:53:34Well, let's go for a little walk, cos these are designed
0:53:34 > 0:53:36for you to be able to take the children up and down.
0:53:36 > 0:53:39And the whole point of the garden is that it's a sensory garden.
0:53:39 > 0:53:42- Wow.- Wow.- It's kind of cool, isn't it?- It's...
0:53:42 > 0:53:45- It's... It is absolutely brilliant. - You've just thought of everything.
0:53:45 > 0:53:47You've just... There's nothing that
0:53:47 > 0:53:50- you've not thought about, is there? - It is out of this world.
0:53:50 > 0:53:52And then, of course, there's this whole issue of the room
0:53:52 > 0:53:54at the bottom, here. Got one more little surprise.
0:53:54 > 0:53:56SHE GURGLES
0:53:56 > 0:53:57LAUGHTER
0:53:57 > 0:54:00And let's have a look inside, shall we? Come on.
0:54:01 > 0:54:02HE INHALES SHARPLY
0:54:02 > 0:54:04In you come.
0:54:05 > 0:54:07Oh, my God!
0:54:07 > 0:54:08Oh, wow!
0:54:11 > 0:54:12Obviously, hydrotherapy pool.
0:54:12 > 0:54:15Why do a hydrotherapy pool for one...
0:54:15 > 0:54:17when you can all jump in with him?
0:54:19 > 0:54:22- It's kind of cool. Let me show you. Look.- Oh, wow.
0:54:22 > 0:54:24Look at the jets.
0:54:24 > 0:54:26Shall we just press the button and see what happens?
0:54:28 > 0:54:29Wow!
0:54:29 > 0:54:31There's a light show as well.
0:54:32 > 0:54:34Connie, what do you think we might be doing this weekend?
0:54:34 > 0:54:37- It's pretty cool, isn't it? - It's just...
0:54:37 > 0:54:38Can I get in it after school?
0:54:38 > 0:54:41- Sure, you can.- Yes, you can. And...
0:54:41 > 0:54:44at the end of a stressful day, not only is it good for Isaac,
0:54:44 > 0:54:46it's good for you. You can come down and de-stress down here.
0:54:46 > 0:54:48It's just...
0:54:48 > 0:54:51I'm just completely blown away by it.
0:54:51 > 0:54:53Imagine all those jets, and the way it will work his muscles and
0:54:53 > 0:54:55- everything.- He's just going to get so much benefit.
0:54:55 > 0:54:59Way, way beyond anything that you could even imagine,
0:54:59 > 0:55:00dream of, wish for.
0:55:00 > 0:55:03It feels like I'm back in a family house.
0:55:03 > 0:55:06And that...we can all enjoy it.
0:55:06 > 0:55:08How can you not enjoy this? How can you not?
0:55:11 > 0:55:14I think that it's going to help us a lot
0:55:14 > 0:55:18because Daddy doesn't have to worry about Mummy,
0:55:18 > 0:55:20Mummy doesn't have to struggle,
0:55:20 > 0:55:23and it'll just make Isaac really happy.
0:55:24 > 0:55:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:55:39 > 0:55:41Everything that all you guys,
0:55:41 > 0:55:44everyone of you has done for us is just...
0:55:44 > 0:55:45it's just massive.
0:55:45 > 0:55:47I just feel different already,
0:55:47 > 0:55:50I just feel like a big weight's been lifted.
0:55:50 > 0:55:52I've been living in that house for so long that I was feeling like
0:55:52 > 0:55:55the walls were just closing in on me. I just feel like
0:55:55 > 0:55:56we've all been given a new start.
0:55:56 > 0:55:59We've just taken you all to our hearts, and we'll just...
0:55:59 > 0:56:01we'll never forget what you've done.
0:56:01 > 0:56:04It'll just change all of our lives.
0:56:04 > 0:56:08We've got everything we need to fulfil Isaac's potential now,
0:56:08 > 0:56:10thanks to you guys.
0:56:10 > 0:56:14You've made this our home again.
0:56:14 > 0:56:18The fact that people have just selflessly put themselves
0:56:18 > 0:56:22through all that and put the effort in for us, for my family, just...
0:56:25 > 0:56:28..there will never be enough thank-yous.
0:56:28 > 0:56:30- Will there?- No.
0:56:30 > 0:56:33APPLAUSE
0:56:42 > 0:56:44- Hope it makes a difference to you. - Thank you.
0:56:44 > 0:56:46I hope you all really enjoy it.
0:56:48 > 0:56:51They say helping someone doesn't change the world,
0:56:51 > 0:56:53but it makes a world of difference to that person,
0:56:53 > 0:56:56and these trades and suppliers have absolutely proved that.
0:56:56 > 0:56:59Rachael said that she was coming to the end of her tether,
0:56:59 > 0:57:02and, despite her best efforts, the walls were closing in on her,
0:57:02 > 0:57:04and Andy was worried for the future unity of the family,
0:57:04 > 0:57:06but that's what this lot have done.
0:57:06 > 0:57:09They've brought the family back together, as husband and wife,
0:57:09 > 0:57:11as father and daughter, as brother and sisters,
0:57:11 > 0:57:14and who knows what Isaac can now achieve?
0:57:14 > 0:57:18You know, you can't help everybody, but everybody can help someone.
