00:00I don't know, it'll still save the borning now.

00:02To date, this young soldier has braved and battled 36 operations.

00:08He had his force cast when he was a week old, and then he had his little hand casts.

00:14But Kayden's day-to-day is becoming increasingly challenging, as this house is not wheelchair accessible.

00:21So we need a ramp.

00:23More accessibility downstairs, just for him to come and go when he wants to.

00:30DIY SOS is breeding a new lease life in those and into the house.

00:34I can't believe people are coming to help us out.

00:37It's going to be life changing.

00:39It's physical, it's financial, and definitely mental as well.

00:43In just nine days, heroes will move bricks, mortar and mountains to create a better home for Kayden and his family.

00:50Welcome to DIY SOS, the big built! Ireland!

00:55Yay! Up the top! Up the top!

00:58Get out of here! Get out of here! Get out of here!

01:01Get up out of here!

01:02Killin Arden in Tala is nestled under the Dublin mountains and is home to Ron Sinead and their two boys.

01:09Mom and Dad were sweethearts from early doors.

01:12We met when we were teenagers. He was always chasing me.

01:19And then we had Ethan. That started our family off. And then we had Kayden.

01:24We just got the biggest shock of our lives when the nurse told us that there was something wrong with her baby.

01:30At first they said that. We don't know whether he was going to survive.

01:36But like, I knew he was going to survive because I felt him kicking.

01:39He came out kicking and screaming.

01:41We just high-fived one another. We were like, right, he's here.

01:44Now. Now what?

01:47He had a condition called arthrogryposis, which affects his joints in his hands and his feet.

01:54And then scoliosis.

01:55Also born with scoliosis. I could live with the disability. It's the scoliosis that kills us.

02:00It's the surgeries, constant surgeries.

02:04Twice a year he'd go in for a lengthening.

02:07He has telescopic bars. As he grows, they have to lengthen them a bit.

02:13Sometimes they bring him up in the theatre, put him under to stretch him.

02:18Syringes.

02:20Oh, you got it.

02:21You finished?

02:22No.

02:24From the time he gets up, it fades.

02:27Because he has something wrong with his muscles also.

02:30They've done the swallow test and you could see it going into his lungs.

02:34So if he aspirates into his lungs, it's very dangerous for him.

02:38So that's why we have to peg-feed him.

02:40I'd love to go out and buy him a Happy Meal and sit there and he'd eat all the Happy Meal.

02:47It looked like I had rabies.

02:51I don't know where we got him. He's the devil in disguise.

02:53Always a comedian. Doesn't let his disability stop him.

03:00Boo!

03:02Sold.

03:03Well, I have my ticket for the best show in town and I'm very much looking forward to meeting this comedian and his family.

03:12Heya. TV licence?

03:14What's your condition called?

03:15Artergyphosis.

03:16Very good.

03:17Slow that down for me. What's it called?

03:18Artergyphosis.

03:19You have surgeries and things like that, do you?

03:21Yes.

03:22I had about like 50 surgeries altogether.

03:26Big operation.

03:27When the length of the small bars were fully lengthened.

03:31So he had to remove all that.

03:33To put the new ones in, the bigger bars in as he's getting bigger.

03:36Do you have a chair to get around the house in?

03:37Yes.

03:39He can't use the wheelchair that much because it's just not big enough.

03:42Do you have a driving licence for that?

03:43Yes.

03:44When he gets into his chair, I call him a little shoemaker.

03:48But this track is way too tight for this boy racer.

03:52He bounces off every time.

03:54Why is the radiator still on the wall?

03:57What's that radiator?

03:58A bigger chair won't fit through that door the way it is there now.

04:01It just needs to be accessible and it's just not.

04:04The house just isn't made for a wheelchair.

04:08How do you go upstairs and downstairs?

04:09If she's a bit lazy, she'll get my dad.

04:14Every time he wants to go up and down the stairs to play his PlayStation.

04:17Ma'am, can you bring me up?

04:18You do that 10 times a day.

04:21We don't complain in front of him.

04:23No.

04:24Never say anything about, oh, my back.

04:25Yeah, my back's in bits, isn't it?

04:27This is his chill out room.

04:28My PS5.

04:30Oh, you're a gamer.

04:31I've been trying to beat this for like an hour now.

04:33I like my bedroom to be red.

04:35Like in many Irish homes, this house is split in two.

04:39God, it's a Liverpool house by that big red divide.

04:42What do you think the biggest obstacle is with the gaffers?

04:45I'm only kidding on to the toilet and getting up and downstairs.

04:48So this is where he has a shower.

04:50I had to put a deck chair into the shower and take the shower door off so he could fit.

04:55We need a bigger boat.

04:57We're going to need a bigger boat.

04:59Just do downstairs, we're happy.

05:01It's all about Cain.

05:02Yes.

05:03It's all about his needs.

05:05Before the big throw-in, some safety measures are put in place with asbestos removal.

05:10Today we are removing crisatile asbestos, which is in the ceilings of the entire house.

05:15The works will take approximately three to four days.

05:20And foundations are poured for the extension.

05:23So now we're ready for kick-off.

05:29But first, I have to give Cain and his family the red card and send them on their merry way.

05:34How are you, man?

05:35How's it going, Cain?

05:37How are you?

05:38How are you feeling?

05:39Nervous.

05:40Let's do this.

05:41Okay, let's go.

05:46I just want to say thank you to every single person.

05:50I just don't know what else to say.

05:51I'm so emotional by everyone's generosity.

05:53We're so grateful for everyone coming out to change Cain's life completely.

05:59For the people who don't know, it's called Art of Adrosis.

06:03Cain needs multiple surgeries, but the little warrior does it.

06:08His ability to use his chair in the house is just going to be amazing.

06:14It's going to be life-changing.

06:15Thank you, everyone.

06:31Gaffer's going to talk.

06:32Now is the best part.

06:33We're raping everything a sauna.

06:34Wreck the gap! Wreck the gap!

06:37And wreck it, they do.

06:38They go at it like a Dublin demolition disco.

06:41First thing, I want the kitchen taken out.

06:44Come on, Sherry.

06:46Use those big guns.

06:47Big guns with bigger gusto get stuck into some serious dripping.

06:51No, not like that.

06:52It's a family show.

06:54Oh, no, John! The shed's got to go!

06:57That shed put no chance.

06:59How long is that going to take to come down?

07:02I'd say 15 minutes, Baz.

07:04Okay.

07:05And it stands no more.

07:07Open up the back garden.

07:09While these dubs demolish everything to the ground...

07:11Like it!

07:13...I head upstairs for speedy recycling duties.

07:17We're keeping the kitchen, right?

07:18We're going to recycle as much as we can from the house.

07:20Keeping doubts, you ask.

07:22One fella's trash is another fella's treasure.

07:24Sometimes you really do walk alone.

07:26Toxic! Don't look at it!

07:28Don't breathe it in!

07:32So far, so good.

07:33Bar trouble with my only tool.

07:35Bro, me thing, but you fixed it.

07:36I'll put a knot in your whistle.

07:37I've been told to put a knot in it a few times.

07:40Better get back to it.

07:42Sorry about that.

07:44Tell you no goods, no black pudding.

07:46Hey!

07:48Work they got!

07:49A lot of smashing today.

07:50There's a lot of demolition.

07:51Everything from your ground floor has been taken out.

07:53First floor, studs, partitions removed.

07:56What's your favourite thing smashing?

07:57Glass.

07:58Me too!

07:59Very similar to the sound effects when I come home about 4am.

08:05Tell you there's no shortage of ambition.

08:07They demolished that place.

08:10And spirit to sort out this home to suit Caden.

08:14But how in this tight terrace space?

08:18You guys love drawings, don't you?

08:19You love them.

08:20Where do you start when you were planning?

08:22Where can we locate a space for Caden's bedroom?

08:25And a bathroom that's accessible?

08:27Because the site is tight, we needed to find that additional space

08:31without compromising the existing house.

08:34The move here was to actually give him an independent space

08:37outside of that footprint.

08:38Think about how Caden's going to use this space now

08:41and how he's going to use it in the future.

08:43And I remember when I spoke to Ron, he said,

08:45I'd be happy with a ramp into that front door.

08:47This is just a game changer for that whole family.

08:51It's really, really great.

08:52One of my favorite parts of the day.

08:54We've got completely new stairs.

08:55Would this stairs be narrower?

08:56No.

08:57It made the newel post slimmer.

08:58Newel post?

08:59N-E-W-E-L.

09:00We've actually got this infrared panel,

09:01so it looks like a picture, but it works as a radiator,

09:03so it's off the wall.

09:04The rad was out to here, gaining like a few inches.

09:06The whole thing is an obstacle course for him.

09:08Every doorway is a barrier.

09:09Every staircase is a wall.

09:10To have that kind of obstacle in front of him, it's hard.

09:12But it will become easier in just eight more days

09:14when these jigsaw blocks become a bedroom,

09:16large bathroom, courtyard, and rear garden for Cade.

09:18This is the exciting part.

09:19Well, it's all exciting, but this is the most exciting part.

09:21This is the most exciting part.

09:22Let's take a look at the back of the bed panel,

09:23so it looks like a picture, but it works as a radiator,

09:24so it's off the wall.

09:25The rad was out to here, gaining like a few inches.

09:26The whole thing is an obstacle course for him.

09:28Every doorway is a barrier,

09:29every staircase is a wall.

09:30To have that kind of obstacle in front of him,

09:31it's hard.

09:32This is the exciting part.

09:34Well, it's all exciting,

09:35but this is the most exciting part.

09:36This is...

09:37When does this come up?

09:38The ICF.

09:39I've never seen that in my life.

09:41It's like Lego.

09:42This is Caden's face.

09:43Kerry, will you do that thing

09:44where you visualize everything for me?

09:45Well, you're having a shower just now.

09:46Woo!

09:47Get out, Kerry!

09:48Bit of privacy.

09:49Told me he wants a red room.

09:51I heard United fans.

09:52Is Man United red different to Liverpool red?

09:53Just go.

09:54I'd like to see upstairs.

09:55The original room was here, right?

09:57And this was Caden's room.

09:59We're going to keep the door here,

10:00take this out,

10:01and have an option to have storage.

10:03Boring!

10:04Who wants storage

10:05when you're going to have

10:06a super-duper master bedroom?

10:08Jesus!

10:09Tony!

10:10How long have you been there?

10:12Since you're up there eavesdropping creepily,

10:14what do you think?

10:15Would you prefer this as one big master bedroom,

10:17or a huge master bedroom?

10:18I'll think about it.

10:22Back again like the renegade master.

10:24You know Ron.

10:25I know Ron 10 years.

10:26He's worked for the company for 15 years now.

10:28They don't ask for a lot.

10:30They're kind of doers.

10:31He takes two hours every morning to get to the job.

10:34But Ronnie, as a person, doesn't complain.

10:36He said that Caden never moans.

10:39It's very hard to complain around someone like that.

10:43From Mallon to Muff,

10:45may I present the Donegal Dry Lining Dependables.

10:48Loads of them digging in with the dubs for initial slabbing.

10:51How you'd like me now?

10:53How you'd like me now?

10:54How you'd like me now?

10:56Racing to get ahead of their skimming team hot on their hooves.

10:59Who's the gaffer?

11:00Oh, Matthew.

11:01Matthew over there.

11:02Matthew, what are you hoping to get done today then?

11:04Upstairs boarded today.

11:05Ready for the skimmers coming in the morning.

11:07By 11 o'clock tonight we should be well on.

11:09Thanks so much for coming down.

11:11Today was spectacular.

11:14Over 100 people went in and out of that house today.

11:19Those lads from Donegal,

11:20they're going to be here till 11 tonight on day one,

11:23just to get that ready for skimmers tomorrow.

11:25Our targets for the next couple of days are vital to hit.

11:29We need a roof in that ICF structure.

11:31That can slip because if that slips,

11:33everything internally slips.

11:35Big build in a little house for a very special boy.

11:40And that same boy has charmed our Crusaders into serious speed.

11:47So Team Sparks are chasing it.

11:49Under a bit of pressure today for sure.

11:51In every way.

11:52How are you on SWA?

11:53The slabbing crew turned up at about 7 o'clock this morning.

11:56So, to be honest with you, we weren't ready for them.

12:00We had all hands on deck.

12:02David! David! David!

12:04Jesus! David!

12:06No.

12:08No.

12:09I'm worried about you.

12:10We're under a bit of pressure.

12:11What's the pressure?

12:12Slabbers.

12:13And they're everywhere.

12:15Like ants.

12:16He had a bit of a mini stroke last night when the boys came in

12:18and the boys started firing plasma all over the place.

12:21The slabbers from Donegal,

12:22they probably arrived a little bit early.

12:24And that put the sparks out of it.

12:26She's moving, isn't she?

12:27Moving very fast.

12:28She is moving.

12:29Yeah.

12:30So, everyone's very excited to get it done.

12:31That's all it is.

12:32Off to meet the other gaffer, Albert.

12:34We're targeting pouring the ICF structure now here at the back of the house.

12:37We've got about 50 metres cubed, so just shy of two trucks.

12:40Fill up a third of the way, then second time around,

12:43and then you come back to your final time around up to the top.

12:45There's a time pressure with it.

12:46You need to get it as quick as you can and get it poured in so it doesn't go hard.

12:49Wham-bam.

12:50Wham-bam.

12:51I love a bit of pressure.

12:52A bit of pressure.

12:53Would you be used to this level of urgency and stress?

12:58I think that's the name of the game of construction.

13:00It's always a kind of, it's a pressure kettle.

13:04Everyone's rowing in from the neighbours and such.

13:07It's just a reflection of how beautiful and lovely the family are.

13:09Everyone's dying to get stuck in.

13:13It is great.

13:14And it feels so good, everyone's talking about it.

13:18I'm a local lad, and I'm friends with the family an awful long time.

13:21They've walked me holidays around to build.

13:23I just felt they needed to do something to help them out.

13:25He's a community boy, and the community love him.

13:28Be so positive, it's actually inspiring for an adult to look at a kid like that.

13:32A smile that would brighten up everyone, and a lovely, lovely little gentleman.

13:37How do you know the family?

13:39I have had the privilege of being Caden's class teacher for the last two years.

13:44How is he favoured in the class?

13:47So I probably get emotional now.

13:49Everybody knows him as probably the bravest boy I've ever met in my life.

13:53After surgeries, before surgeries, he's always smiling.

13:56Caden had four-hour operation, and he came home that evening.

14:00The way he bounces back is unreal.

14:02If it's not his wrist, it's his feet.

14:04If it's not his feet, it's his spine.

14:06What do you make of all the volunteers?

14:08It just means so much to us and all my family.

14:11The school teachers here volunteer, and it's just so overwhelming.

14:16What made you want to come down and volunteer?

14:18In spite of everything, he's had to put up with.

14:21He came in and he gave his best every day.

14:23So I thought, well, you know what?

14:25He's worked so hard for me.

14:26I've got to get in and do a bit of hard graft for him.

14:30That's what you need in this life.

14:32People doing things for others.

14:34The men are wonderful, the women are wonderful.

14:36I even offered them a bed if they wanted.

14:38God, it's so going to change the life forever, isn't it?

14:41Like little Caden.

14:42Bless him, he's going to get a bit of independence back.

14:44Every kid deserves a little bit of luck, you know,

14:46but it's just great that it's Caden's way.

14:51Ah, so tidy.

14:52This is going so well.

14:54Isn't it?

14:56See where this is going?

14:58It's called foreshadowing.

15:00There's a structure wall behind me here that didn't come out.

15:04The kitchen runs all the way to this line here.

15:07Between Clary and David spotted it when we were looking at

15:09where we were going to put the kitchen.

15:10We discussed it yesterday,

15:11but it was only when I was walking around,

15:13I was like, that wall's still there.

15:14This needs to come out.

15:15We were scratching our heads going,

15:16oh yeah, that one seemed to be missed,

15:17and we were adamant it wasn't on the drawing.

15:19It was always on the drawing.

15:20There's the living proof.

15:21It's on the drawing.

15:22It needs to go.

15:23Time is of the essence.

15:24The kitchen's here at 8 o'clock in the morning.

15:26Kitchen's here in the morning.

15:27We're holding up the first floor with this wall.

15:29So it's about how we now navigate that as a problem.

15:32We'll do temporary propping just to support the first floor

15:35while we take out the block work wall behind me,

15:37and then we'll put in a steel post,

15:39which will be a permanent support.

15:40Keith.

15:41Yeah, Baz.

15:42You have to fill me in on what's going on, man.

15:44This wall's coming down.

15:45Did we forget about that?

15:46It was forgotten.

15:47It was forgotten about.

15:48Uh-huh.

15:49That sound.

15:50Hear that?

15:51They had a little coffee break, and then they're back.

15:53As loud as ever.

15:54Lovely.

15:55Back in Kilinarden, it's pollutions, not solvums.

15:56That one.

15:57You know what I mean.

15:58But the volunteers are out and force building an accessible home for Caden.

16:01We've got the windows going in.

16:02We're going to put a couple of problems where the openings aren't wide enough.

16:08We have the issue now that the new door that goes into the courtyard is too big to get into the house.

16:14So we've got to figure out how it's going to get up.

16:15Oh, look.

16:16Oh, look.

16:17Oh, look.

16:18Oh, look.

16:19Oh, look.

16:20Oh, look.

16:21Oh, look.

16:22Oh, look.

16:23Oh, look.

16:24Oh, look.

16:25Oh, look.

16:26Oh, look.

16:27Oh, look.

16:28Oh.

16:29Oh.

16:30So we've got to figure out how we're going to get a 2.4 frame

16:33in through the corridor.

16:34That's 2.1.

16:36Enter designer Kerry to survey the progress.

16:40Or not.

16:41Nice kitchen.

16:43Kitchen's arrived, but we're not ready for the kitchen to be installed.

16:46This should be sink, dishwasher, cooker, units all the way along,

16:53but we have a kitchen on a pallet.

16:56Not even slabs.

17:00I haven't even first fixed the kitchen yet to allow the lads to fit the kitchen,

17:03to put on the slabs like it's mental.

17:06We'll get that kitchen in.

17:09We're very, very behind.

17:12I think we've ever been that far behind on a kitchen, on any bills so far.

17:16Tomorrow.

17:17Tomorrow.

17:17It has to win tomorrow.

17:19The kitchen needs to be in place for the guys to come and measure for the countertop,

17:23and then they need to go away and cut it.

17:24They'll need to cut around all the sockets, come back, fit it.

17:27If you say you're not stressed, then you're lying.

17:29Getting a bit anxious.

17:30We're keeping to the plan, but things are sticking the head up now that we didn't foresee.

17:34I don't mind the pace.

17:35Need to get this ready.

17:37Yeah.

17:37It's fast.

17:38It's go, go, go.

17:39We're used to go, go, go.

17:40Doors in, doors out again.

17:41Cluster.

17:42This is another nut.

17:46There's a lot happening.

17:48One item at a time that will address.

17:50You'll have to keep your sense of humour, but it will be finished and it'll be done.

17:54Why?

17:55Because it has to be.

17:56It's too important not to get it done.

17:58It's just, might be a bit more stressful than usual.

18:01We'll be here till all hours.

18:02It's going to be a late one tonight, I think.

18:04This morning was the first time I've slept to my alarm at half five in a long time.

18:08So, yes, I'm tired.

18:15Well, while all in Tala are tearing their hair out, me and my locks are off to chill with Caden in his temporary mobile home away from home.

18:24A gift from a family friend for the next nine days.

18:28How are you?

18:29What's the story?

18:36Any questions you want to ask me first?

18:38Let me use my half-eared brain real quick.

18:44What's the biggest obstacle in the house for you?

18:47Probably the stairs.

18:49They're like my worst enemy.

18:51Yeah, yeah, yeah.

18:53What do you like about gaming?

18:57Friends.

18:58You hook up with friends when you're gaming?

19:00Yep.

19:02Ow!

19:03You want to make him laugh and smile as much as possible.

19:06He's just got a very infectious face.

19:09Yes.

19:11Yes.

19:19Oh, you got it.

19:21Wait.

19:21One, two, three, four.

19:23Wait.

19:24I've never seen that.

19:26Stupid damn.

19:27Anyway.

19:28I won't.

19:29It's fixed.

19:32How are you after your operations?

19:33I either go home or I'm in the hospital for like 500 million days, I feel like.

19:39Like, sometimes when I'm going to surgery, I just feel like today I'm going to die.

19:43Really?

19:43Yeah.

19:44Yeah.

19:44Like, I just feel like, yeah, I'm going to die today.

19:48You've had one in your back, right?

19:49So that's made you kind of sit up straighter.

19:51Oh, no.

19:52I didn't just have one in my back.

19:53I had like 50,000 in my back.

19:56Really?

19:57Yeah.

19:58Who's the soft touch?

19:59There's always one who's a softer touch.

20:00I think it's more like my mom.

20:02Yeah.

20:03Yeah.

20:03I'm just like a quiet kid, I am.

20:05You'd say mass right now.

20:07You're a quiet kid.

20:08You are not a quiet kid.

20:10You are the opposite of a quiet kid.

20:12Other kids looking at you on telly and maybe they're going through tough times or they have disabilities.

20:18Is there any advice you give to them?

20:19Try your best, kids.

20:21Try your best, kids.

20:23Yeah.

20:23That makes sense.

20:24That works, though.

20:25Even though you're going through a tough time like I am, I just never give up.

20:29You'll do it eventually.

20:31Got to go back to size with all those hairy, sweaty men.

20:34Do I want to be there?

20:39But trying your best, kids, and not giving up is personified with these plasters on site.

20:46Everyone seems a bit under pressure today, are they?

20:48They are, but the plasters come to save it.

20:50We'll be here all night, so we will.

20:52Yeah, you think?

20:53It's keep going through the night, and it needs to be dry for tomorrow.

20:55We must be wrecked at this station.

20:56We are wrecked, actually.

20:58But we're just planning it on us to keep going.

21:00I think it's a bit bigger than anyone appreciates it.

21:03It's just, it got away from us a small bit.

21:07Jesse, there's so much happening.

21:13We're under pressure.

21:14We're under pressure.

21:15Tell Uncle Basch.

21:16Okay.

21:18Kitchen was meant to start yesterday.

21:21We're under pressure to get that in.

21:22This is very familiar to me.

21:28What's going on?

21:30Kitchen.

21:31Kitchen?

21:32Yes.

21:33Or the lack, they're all.

21:35Yesterday, we were a day behind.

21:36Yeah.

21:37I'd say we've clawed back most of it.

21:39Really?

21:40Yeah.

21:40People seem very, very busy.

21:42Look at even Walter.

21:43I've never seen Walter working.

21:44I've always seen him around, but this?

21:46Yeah, the pressure's on.

21:47The pressure is on.

21:48Could we all stop saying we're under pressure unless we're going to leap into scenes like

21:52a Marvel hero?

21:54They are going to be seriously under pressure for the next couple of days.

21:56They can't slip behind anymore on this program.

21:59One hour of happiness.

22:02It's like caffeine for the soul.

22:04You're all working very hard.

22:06I feel like you need a bit of a pep.

22:07Do you need a bit of a pep?

22:09Yes!

22:09Yes, you do!

22:11And to add that well-needed pep, please welcome local League of Ireland heroes, Shamrock

22:17Rovers, with Roberta Lopez, Aaron McNiff, and Hooperman.

22:21Hooperman!

22:22Woo!

22:23Woo!

22:24Hooperman?

22:25Who is he?

22:26Who knows?

22:27We'll never know.

22:28Everyone's under a lot of pressure, but the question is, who deals with pressure the

22:32best?

22:33Is it the dubs?

22:35Yeah?

22:35Or is it the Colchies?

22:41I want to welcome you to the Steel Toe DIY SOS Put Him Under Pressure Penalty Shootout!

22:48Aaron is going to lead the rest of the country, and Pico will lead the dubs.

22:53If Pico has a penalty, we're safe.

22:55Right, okay, this is how it's going to work.

22:57You're going to take this ball up around here.

23:01Look, God.

23:02Around here.

23:03Hooperman is going to be here distracting you.

23:05Sharon's in goal.

23:06You'll get one shot.

23:09Oh!

23:10Oh!

23:11Oh!

23:13Right.

23:14And then the next player will go.

23:17To add nuance to nonsense, the Tala marching band have brought tequila.

23:22Well, in brass form anyways.

23:24Tequila!

23:25Tequila!

23:26I don't like to pat myself on the back, but...

23:29Oh, yes.

23:30That was a great idea.

23:33Sharon in goal?

23:34She's legend, isn't she?

23:37She's very good.

23:39Come on, Melina!

23:40Take it!

23:42Oh!

23:43What made you want to help out and lift the spirits?

23:46We've just seen the product that was going on here in the community, and being a big part

23:50of Tala, Sean McRose, I think it was just important just to show our faces and try and

23:54help out whenever we can.

23:54My daughter's actually got additional needs.

23:57When you see so many people come together and work as one to reach a certain goal for

24:01our family and a special little boy, it's brilliant to see.

24:03It came down to you two in the end.

24:05Aaron!

24:06Oh, it's all in the hands of the gods now.

24:08Boo!

24:11Oh!

24:11There we go, Pico.

24:13Don't mind them!

24:14Don't mind them!

24:15Don't mind them!

24:16Don't mind them!

24:17Don't mind them!

24:18Don't mind them!

24:19Oh, yeah!

24:20Oh!

24:21I said to our team just before we started that, you know, Pico's in front of goal were safe

24:27enough, so...

24:28I'm sad to say the winners on this day happen to be the rest of the country.

24:36Did the Kulchis deserve to win?

24:43Yeah, maybe they did on this occasion, yeah.

24:45A few hours of Kip later and the Dubs and the Kulchis reunite for a new day with one

24:52target to be hit head-on.

24:55A number of plastered show up this morning from Donegal, on site for 6am, skimming straight

25:00away.

25:01Upstairs, we've got flooring going down in the two bedrooms, and we have painters on site.

25:08It was a late night last night, early start today.

25:11Coming into this afternoon, we'll be back on track.

25:15Great show volunteers in Sub-Kriturk, so, that's helped.

25:26But there's still so, so much to be done.

25:30And even though it's a close shave, there's no want for warriors.

25:36We've had a lot of people here on site today, and it's a phenomenal response for over bank

25:40holiday weekend.

25:41But another issue pokes its pesky head.

25:44We need to keep on schedule.

25:45We need this landscaping to start tomorrow.

25:47They need 16 tonne of concrete gravel.

25:50We don't have it.

25:51Bank holiday weekend, stores are closed.

25:53Arthur, how are you getting on?

25:55A lot of calls will have to be made in the next hour.

25:57I need about 16 tonne.

25:58We have to get it done.

25:59No access to the house.

26:00I need it in the next hour.

26:02I wouldn't be asking, but we are under serious pressure.

26:04I'm your man for serious pressure release.

26:06I know how it works.

26:07We need 804.

26:08We need grits on.

26:09We need builds on.

26:09We need to go to the old stone.

26:11Hold on.

26:12I'll get them something sweet.

26:13These buns get you anything you want.

26:16Roger buns.

26:17I need a hero.

26:22Easy.

26:23This is you, is it?

26:24I modeled that one myself, actually.

26:26That's the 804, yes.

26:27That's what I caught.

26:28Ready to rock.

26:2816 tonnes of gravel delivered on a bank holiday

26:33and a small bag of pixie dust thrown in.

26:35Tick.

26:39As you can only imagine,

26:40I'm more than happy to head back down to the Wexford coast

26:44to meet Sinead in a family favourite hideout.

26:49This is nice, isn't it?

26:51It's lovely.

26:51I could do this.

26:52This is a lot nicer than the building site I just came from.

26:55I say so.

26:55I can tell you.

26:56I can tell you.

26:57Being a mum on its own is a 24-hour non-stop job anyway.

27:03But then on top of that, being a carer,

27:05was there a lot of stuff you had to learn?

27:07Yeah.

27:07When Caden was first born, he wasn't bottle-fed.

27:10He was NG-fed.

27:11He couldn't swallow properly.

27:12Explain that to me, ma.

27:13Which was the tube down the back of his throat.

27:15I had to learn how to do that.

27:17And that was horrible.

27:18Where do you learn things like that?

27:19You have to go to Cumberland Hospital and learn it all from me.

27:23It's my second home.

27:24When you were pregnant, at what stage did you know that there might be complications?

27:29The scans were showing up that his hands and feet were toned in.

27:33And they were saying, we don't think he's going to survive.

27:39Sorry.

27:40It's all right.

27:41Oh, don't.

27:42It's all right.

27:43Honestly.

27:43It feels like yesterday I was only there in my arms.

27:46Every time I talk about it, I just cry.

27:48Sorry.

27:48It just has this smile.

27:49It's infectious.

27:50It's just amazing.

27:52He's only out of recovery when he's asking,

27:54can he get back into his chair and go on a walk down to the vending machine?

27:57He's amazing.

27:58I'm so, so lucky with him.

28:00His legs are mobile, right?

28:02Yeah.

28:02I was told he'd never walk, but I think he's that determined.

28:07He had major surgery done on his feet last year.

28:11After the surgery, he just looked at the doctor and went, so I can walk now, won't I?

28:15And that breaks your heart.

28:17One day I'd love to see him walking down the road.

28:20It's all right.

28:21And it's hard.

28:22Is there a lot of unknowns with his condition?

28:25I don't know everything about it.

28:26I've never met anyone with his condition.

28:28Yeah.

28:29There's just so many questions about his condition and what does the future look like?

28:33Getting this opportunity that DIY SOS are after giving us.

28:38It's like when they're locked out ten times over.

28:41Like, I don't think anyone will understand how much this is going to change Caden's life.

28:47And I can't wait to see him grow up in the house now.

28:50Like, it's going to be amazing.

28:52That's the best part.

28:54Can't wait.

28:57Deck chair.

28:58Understood the assignment.

29:02It's countdown on the Kilnardyn site as young Caden O'Connor is coming home in just a couple of days.

29:08And the paint team are rocking and rolling.

29:12Nearly 11 o'clock and I'm seven coffees in, so I'll try to slow it down a little bit.

29:18It's going to be another long day.

29:20I think as we go into day seven, day eight, we'll be bringing our sleeping bag.

29:26The key item today, I think, is getting the external works moving.

29:29Hey, Ronan.

29:30You're the man of the hour.

29:31How's it going?

29:32Baz, how you doing?

29:32I'm really good.

29:33I'm really good.

29:34How's the garden going?

29:35The garden's going really well.

29:36We've done three little gardens, very practical.

29:39He can go down in his wheelchair on his own.

29:41What we're trying to do is trying to make it very easy to maintain and good looking.

29:45So I think we've done all that.

29:47Talking of good looking, what made you want to work with me?

29:49Slight problem.

29:55We have a dishwasher, but we don't have space for it.

29:59We have a bench to go in, and because the space is a premium, if we don't have this L-shaped bench, we can't utilize the seating area.

30:05My thought process is, if we have a pop-up for a washer-dryer over here, integrate it over here, and then everyone's happy, and we have everything, and we still have a big seating area.

30:14Everything is going great.

30:15Yeah?

30:15Oh, sorry.

30:16We've got a second.

30:17A bit of a dishwasher issue, and I was wondering, but I'm not a plumber, can we not put it beside the washer-dryer and then utilize the pop-ups that are there for the water and the electricity?

30:27We've had to change the kitchen around.

30:29Perry wants to move the dishwasher, so we have to rewire and replumb and get that in.

30:34Dishwasher is now going onto this wall.

30:36We've no plumbers.

30:38We had them this morning.

30:39I had breakfast this morning, Albert.

30:41That's not helping anything.

30:42Day seven and a half.

30:42Where are they now?

30:43Yeah.

30:44We're frantically trying to find them.

30:45Is that how it's in a plumber?

30:48The shout-out for plumbers drills loud across the Tala Valley.

30:54Are you tormented with the noise next door?

30:57Well, it is noisy, but I'm not tormented.

31:00They're great neighbors.

31:01Where would you get the little fella?

31:03I know.

31:03He's a ticket.

31:04Isn't he great?

31:04He's gas.

31:05He's gas.

31:06He's gas.

31:07What this has done has helped him to be, as he grows into adulthood, he'll be in his own home.

31:14And all of you have made that possible.

31:17Just what I would like to say, thank you.

31:19You're no stranger to volunteering yourself, are you?

31:22I see awards out there.

31:23What's that award for?

31:24Lifetime volunteer for my services with victim support.

31:29I loved it.

31:30I loved it.

31:31You know, and it's great to think that you have helped somebody.

31:34What do you think those volunteers will go home with?

31:37They'll go home with self-satisfaction, I would say.

31:40What they will leave is we'll have a restore in human nature.

31:45I have the luxury of being able to sit around and watch other people working.

31:50But when you see all the volunteers, the time they give up for nothing more than its help,

31:57little Kate, it just reminds you how important volunteering is.

32:02I can't explain the feeling that I have just to be here, you know, to say I've done something.

32:09It's nice to give back, so it is, and look, hopefully touch wood if any of us were sick.

32:14Hopefully someone would help us out.

32:15One of the lads was saying that we're on the SOSO's honours.

32:18I believe in karma, so if we do something good for someone, it'll come back to me.

32:22It makes you just see the good that people want to give.

32:25It's great the way that everybody pulls together.

32:27The sense of accomplishment at the end of it, that you were involved in a selfless act, is just amazing.

32:33We're getting down to the wire now on the second last day.

32:39So much great work done, but a hell of a lot to do.

32:44Today is get in and get out, really.

32:46We've got painting, we've got second fix joinery.

32:50Today it's probably one of the busiest days on site because all the fitted furniture goes in.

32:54It's pretty manic.

32:55All the joiners are here today, so it's push, push, push on that front.

32:58Eight different joiners doing eight different parts of the house,

33:02which is all bespoke.

33:04It's going to be pretty full on.

33:05How are you feeling?

33:06Nervous?

33:07Yeah.

33:07The kitchen's still not finished.

33:08We tried to install the upper units and...

33:12Technical term is, we just kind of went a bit Pete Tongue, I think.

33:16So we had to take them off again.

33:18While most of us have our heads down looking at the straight ahead,

33:22architect David has his head in the sky.

33:26We did miss one detail, the roof light above us.

33:29That's the wrong shape.

33:30It's meant to be a circular skylight.

33:32It's now a square opening underneath.

33:34Yeah.

33:35As you pass through the building, you pick up on this circle above your head,

33:38and as you pass through the bedroom, you pick up another circle at the back wall.

33:42So it's all front of the house talking to the back of the house,

33:45so it's all cohesive.

33:46That's the idea.

33:46And without it, we don't have that.

33:48I knew there was meant to be a circular skylight.

33:50Yeah.

33:51But at the time, we didn't have the bodies to do it, so I made it square.

33:55You made it square.

33:56I made it square.

33:56Yeah.

33:57And then the architect came in and got all architected.

33:59And he said, it's non-negotiable.

34:00Non-negotiable?

34:01Non-negotiable.

34:02Did he say those words?

34:02He said, non-negotiable.

34:03This has to happen.

34:04I didn't think anything was non-negotiable, but...

34:06So, it has to be done.

34:09Square holes in round spaces is not the only non-negotiable.

34:13Now Caden's bathroom floor has been ripped up.

34:16A gully redirection.

34:17Like, that's what we need.

34:20We've had a change of design, so we're moving the shower waste back out from the wall.

34:25Right.

34:25And so, originally, it was falling in towards the wall.

34:28Okay.

34:28And now we're putting a central gully.

34:30It's getting dirty down there, isn't it?

34:31Who's not down there?

34:32I can't see.

34:32That's Damien.

34:33Damien, you're right, man.

34:35Oh, you want me to be positive?

34:37Okay.

34:38I'm positive it's very much not going to plan.

34:42And I'm very smiley about it, because that's what I do.

34:47I just smile on.

34:54Tomorrow is the day where Kerry comes in and dresses the place.

35:00You're not dressing any of that.

35:03Any of it.

35:04Nothing is ready to be dressed in there.

35:06There's just so much work to be done.

35:09But the work is done, and hordes of heroes grafted through the midnight hour to dawn o'clock.

35:20Extraordinary.

35:21Caden's bathroom.

35:22The gully was installed last night late, so the tiles have gone down.

35:265, 10.

35:28A lot of hours are put in from everybody.

35:30Everyone's exhausted, but everyone's still got a smile on their face.

35:33I was told that I get this warm, fuzzy feeling.

35:35Surprise!

35:36So far, it hasn't been warm and fuzzy.

35:39It's been go, go, go.

35:43Kitchen is still being installed, so a bit anxious about that.

35:47Ah, look, we're getting there.

35:48It's a bit manic at the minute.

35:49There's people everywhere.

35:50We're up against it.

35:51We have to give Kerry and her team as much time as possible, but we're still in their way.

35:55It's a bit chaotic.

35:56It's just moving people out of the way from painting.

35:58At the moment, it's about freeing no barriers to the painters.

36:01Once the painter is in, I'm happy.

36:04The rollover crew have circled around to the roof light for the fix.

36:09I hope.

36:10The plan yesterday was to form the opening in the skylight.

36:14What we wanted was square going to circle, but now we have square going to circle going to square.

36:21Must have got lost in translation, communication, whatever going on being last day.

36:26It's your call.

36:27If it is or was my call.

36:28You fix it.

36:30Too late at the stage.

36:31Because of where it is, it's bang in the middle of the wall, probably gone down the end.

36:34This was in a different room or in a different position in the house.

36:37Yeah.

36:38I'd say maybe.

36:39This is round zero.

36:40I think if we paint the bottom of it white and the inside of it red, that will kind of make that element kind of a lot punchier.

36:48So it should help.

36:49But I personally think it looks well.

36:51If ever there was a time to flee that frantic sight, it's now.

36:56So I career up the Dublin Mounds to meet champion dad, Ron.

37:00We meet at the Hellfire Club, his hotspot from back in the day.

37:04When's the last time you were up at the Hellfire Club?

37:07Oh, it would have been when Sinead was pregnant on Cade.

37:12In both your families, there was no history of any...

37:15No history of nothing.

37:17Like when we first found out.

37:19My biggest concern at the time was just Sinead.

37:21She just broke my heart when she found out.

37:23What role did you come fall into?

37:25It's one of those where sometimes you don't know what to do.

37:29Think back and I go, my God, from day one, how did we do that?

37:32How did we get to today?

37:34Like, well, you just do it.

37:37When Caden was born then?

37:39Delighted that he could breed on his own.

37:41He could do everything on his own.

37:43What does it feel like to see him go through that many surgeries?

37:46Oh, it's heartbreaking.

37:48It's a feeling of hopelessness, like, that you can't help.

37:50I'd always say, let me take that operation.

37:52Like, I'll do it.

37:54But you can't, you know?

37:56Life doesn't work like that.

37:57It is stressful, like, you're trying to, like, do your best for him, like.

38:01And you're questioning yourself.

38:02Am I doing my best, like?

38:03But Sinead always was.

38:06Sinead was just, she really is the best mother that you could have hoped for.

38:10The house, the main struggle in the house.

38:12His bedroom upstairs, that you're picking him up probably seven, eight times a day.

38:16Isn't that the whole reason behind trying to make the house more accessible?

38:20So he has that freedom.

38:21Yeah.

38:22You know.

38:22And he'll love it.

38:23He will.

38:23And he'll love it.

38:24He will love it.

38:24He will.

38:25To fly from one end of the house to another in a chair without having to get out, that'll

38:29be just amazing for him.

38:30Amazing.

38:31A lot of sweaty volunteers down there.

38:33Ah, my God.

38:34There is no words to say to people for what they've done.

38:39It's just absolutely amazing.

38:42The gift, like, people that you don't know, that don't know cave and all that.

38:46The stars, your faith, and the human race, it does.

38:49It's just brilliant.

38:50There's a place in heaven for people like that.

38:52While we had the pleasure of seeing the woods and the trees, back on site, the weary warriors

38:59need a last-minute dig out to see the wood from the trees.

39:05There's a good bit of work on the external here.

39:07So I know it's a small space, but small spaces can be more challenging because you can only

39:11get so many resources into these small spaces.

39:13Because it's a wheelchair, of course, so it's going to come out near enough level, so when

39:17he comes out, he's okay coming out of the door, and then we ramp off down to a level

39:21and leave the outside.

39:22A magic Metallica creation, complete with lights, is installed in the rear garden, and

39:28some fancy specimen plants find their forever home.

39:31Acer Japonica, over here, please.

39:34Hello.

39:35Three, two, one.

39:39We have a day, so it's not about how long we think we'll take.

39:43Give us a hand to lift us, a big, strong man.

39:45What is this?

39:45Going in there.

39:46A Japanese maple.

39:47Three, two, one, go.

39:49Good God, lads.

39:50How are we doing time-wise with everything?

39:52We're behind.

39:53Are we?

39:53But we're going to pick up, don't worry.

39:54Okay.

39:55Let's all go.

39:59They are still working hard.

40:01The more we ask, the more they give.

40:03People are wrecked, but very, very tired.

40:06Still not finished, so it's going to be a mad night.

40:09Genuinely, this is down to the wire.

40:12No bedtime story for Albert's kids, again.

40:15Like all the other kids who donated their parents over the last nine days.

40:20Night, night.

40:21Every single person who signed into that volunteer tent to come in and get involved, it's been brilliant.

40:25It's not done just yet, and they'll probably feel quite low right now, but I know that tomorrow is when they get paid.

40:36The bit that I love is looking at the family coming out of this building, and all the tired heads, all the volunteers, all the tradespeople, and the sense of pride will be unbelievable.

40:46It hits people then.

40:48Right now, it's probably not feeling worth it, but tomorrow it'll feel very, very much worth it.

40:55Love that sound.

40:59Can we get this started further?

41:01Oh, I'm so excited.

41:02Can't wait.

41:03The O'Connors are coming home.

41:05In your own time.

41:07And I can't wait to show them their astonishing abode.

41:10Voila!

41:11Oh my God, look at the garden.

41:12Oh my God.

41:13Oh my God.

41:14It's absolutely beautiful.

41:21You love walking?

41:22Yeah, it's your gaff.

41:23Yeah.

41:24Oh, it's lovely.

41:25I can't get over it.

41:26This is on your front yard.

41:28You haven't even gone inside yet.

41:29I haven't even gone inside yet.

41:30Oh yeah, and I'm already overwhelmed.

41:32It's going to be flying in and out.

41:35And subtle but central adjustments to the stairs and hall mean he'll be flying inside very soon.

41:40This is beautiful.

41:45That picture on the wall is a radiator.

41:48Oh my God, you're heating it.

41:49Oh my God.

41:49Yeah.

41:50That is just crazy.

41:52Oh my God.

41:56Oh my God.

41:59The heart of the home is now a light-filled hub with lots of turning room.

42:04Definitely worth the wait.

42:05This is not a house.

42:07It's like a different house completely.

42:09Just amazing.

42:10But all I said was if Caden had a bedroom and a bathroom downstairs, I'd be the happiest person in the world.

42:20I love that courtyard.

42:23It's very pretty.

42:25A courtyard in Killingham.

42:26I know.

42:27The notions.

42:27Very fancy.

42:28The notions.

42:29Caden, get out of the courtyard.

42:30I love it all.

42:38I love it all.

42:39I love the colours.

42:40Beautiful.

42:41It's like surreal.

42:42It's like I'm just waiting to wake up.

42:44Kerry's corner scheme is a big hit.

42:46Oh, look.

42:48Oh my God.

42:49Oh my God.

42:50That is brilliant.

42:52It's all hidden.

42:53The beans.

42:54Hidden.

42:55It's the simple things, isn't it?

42:56It's the simple things in life.

42:59Well, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

43:02Or so Leonardo said.

43:04That's Da Vinci, not DiCaprio.

43:05This is crazy.

43:07This is absolutely amazing.

43:10Just sit out there, have a coffee.

43:11I can't do that in my courtyard.

43:13Sorry to drag you out of the courtyard.

43:14Do you want to go see Caden's room?

43:24A gamer's dream world.

43:26I love it.

43:27Oh, he's going to love it.

43:29He's going to love it.

43:32Oh, brilliant.

43:33Oh, it's brilliant.

43:35Yeah, he has everything he needs now.

43:42So he can thrive.

43:45The place comes right in.

43:47It comes right in.

43:49Just to let you know, the whole house is voice activated.

43:54It's to give him as much freedom as possible.

43:58And also to give you a bit of time, you know?

44:00I can't wait for him to see this room.

44:08Yeah.

44:09To see the house.

44:10He's going to love it.

44:10Whoa, very excited.

44:16I'm also buzzing for Caden to see the house.

44:20Excuse me, is this my house?

44:22I walk in the wrong house.

44:25It is your house, man.

44:26It's all your house.

44:28Dude, toaster.

44:29I've got a new kettle.

44:33Whoa, whoa, whoa.

44:35Activate Caden's door.

44:44Wow.

44:48Curiosity got the pyramids.

44:49I'm going to press it.

44:50It's light.

44:52Ta-da.

44:54Happy?

44:54Yeah?

44:55Will this work for you?

44:57Yes.

44:57Want to see something cool?

44:58Look at this.

45:00This looks just like a little weird remote, right?

45:02Not for me, Kelly.

45:03Look at this.

45:04How did you do that?

45:05And now you think I'm locked in now.

45:09The automated door is a big hit with our boy,

45:12and now he's off to the rear garden on his toe, Blarone.

45:16Do you feel like the house does more space for you?

45:18Yep.

45:19But the best idea that all you have to call now.

45:21Now you can just go.

45:22You can go wherever you want, man.

45:24Yep.

45:24A lot of few words but champion action's eldest boy Ethan loves his Liverpool spacious bedroom.

45:34I like it.

45:34I think it's fresh, isn't it?

45:35Yeah, I like it.

45:36I can't get the smile off me face.

45:39It's horrible.

45:39I can't get it off.

45:41Oh, my God.

45:53This is your bedroom.

45:57This is crazy.

45:59I feel like I'm not worthy of everything.

46:01This is beautiful.

46:03I'm standing in the old box room, like.

46:05This is like a very fancy hotel.

46:11It's exactly, yeah.

46:11It's absolutely amazing.

46:13You deserve it, like.

46:15I love it.

46:16Oh, my God.

46:16It's beautiful, isn't it?

46:17I absolutely love it.

46:29Oh, my God.

46:30Oh, my God.

46:31I feel the heart.

46:32Can you feel it too?

46:34Alexa, TV unit, lights on.

46:43It's fab.

46:45I'm lost for words.

46:47It's absolutely beautiful.

46:49I love it all.

46:50Oh, just thanks to everyone who was involved.

46:53It's just beautiful.

46:54And soon he will get to thank each and every one of the hundreds upon hundreds of these irrepressible

47:04angels who created this truly astonishing, accessible home for Caden and his family.

47:10Oh, my God.

47:16Well, we really didn't expect this to be.

47:22What an amazing job yous have done.

47:27Yous have completely changed our lives.

47:31And the house.

47:32I forget about the house.

47:33Yeah, and the house.

47:35Yeah.

47:36But what yous have done, there are no words where we can say.

47:42Yous have changed their lives completely for the better and forever.

47:46It restores everyone's faith and humanity this to us.

47:49I hope yous all realise what yous have done here today.

47:51Thank you to everyone.

47:52Like, even my room.

47:53Boy, I don't deserve any of that.

47:54It's all for Caden.

47:55It's all for Caden.

47:57He's made his life so much easier in front of nothing.

47:59Like, he just didn't get paid to do this around you.

48:01I just did it because he's wanted to, and it's mad.

48:03Like, thank you all.

48:03I really don't know how to say thank you to every single person who has helped on this build for Caden.

48:09We've just seen him in the house, flying around, and it's what he always needed.

48:13And it's just absolutely amazing.

48:17Just a house.

48:18Oh, my God.

48:19It's not like walking into a house and killing Arden.

48:22It's like, wow.

48:23It's just a gift.

48:25You don't know how much this is going to make our lives so much easier.

48:29We just want to say thanks so much.

48:32And I just, just a big ear hug to everybody.

48:35Thank you, everybody.

48:40Wow.

48:41Here in Tala over the last nine days, I've seen true resilience.

48:45I've seen the resilience of a little boy called Caden who has a mighty spirit.

48:49And I've seen the resilience of volunteers who've given it everything.

48:53Look, Caden always shone bright, but now he's the space and the freedom to shine even brighter.

49:00You're all that matters to me.

49:02Let me show you.

49:05Let me show you.

49:07You're all that matters to me.

49:10You're all that matters.

49:12Let me hear you.

49:14Let me love you.

49:16Let me love you.

49:18You're all that matters to me.

49:22Oh, come on, see the lights on your face

49:26Let it shine and let it shine on the light of the night
