Season 1 • Episode 4
LatestIn the final episode of this series couple Architect Padraig & his wife Laura are renovating and extending an old country house in Padraig's home village of Kilcornan Limerick. With businesses, young kids and a building site to manage things are far from easy. We follow them and Harrison every step of the way as they spend a tough year learning new skills and building their new home – and with Padraig’s architectural experience and high standards this may just be the most ambitious build yet.
Build Your Own Home follows the trials and tribulations of homeowners from across Ireland, as they take on the mammoth challenge of building their own home – under the watchful eye of master builder and building teacher, Harrison Gardner. From a brand new build in West Cork, a Midlands cottage doer-upper, a Limerick farmhouse renovation to a Dublin extension each episode has one thing in common – no building experience and very tight budgets. As the initial excitement of a new project invariably dies down these brave self builders still need to work, pay rent, mind kids and... build a house. No-one said it was going to be easy – as Harrison told them from the start. Across days, weeks and months of hard labour the homeowners are taught and mentored by Harrison, who believes that anyone can learn how to build.
