After living on site in a caravan for a year, the Farnsworths finally receive planning permission for the conversion and can start work. However, the builders’ quote comes in at £560,000 – a massive £110,000 more than the couple were expecting. To cut costs, Michael decides to take on much of the work himself.
However, as one problem is solved, another arises. Can the couple finish the build on time, or are Thomas and Lucy set to spend another cold winter in the caravan?
The Heatmiser thermostat installed is from our Touchscreen Series.
