If you were hoping for some relaxing pre-Oscars viewing when you tuned into Room To Improve last night, you went to the wrong place.

Sinéad and George were expecting a labour of love after purchasing their dream home, a 170-year-old coach house in Maynooth, but once work actually began everything seemed to fall apart.

There's no denying the house was downright gorgeous from the outside, but inside things weren't quite so perfect.

We got our first alarm bell when Sinéad and George revealed the shower randomly placed in their front hall:

 

However it was when the first tentative steps of the building process began that Sinéad and George received a pretty swift blow to all their plans. 

There was wet rot everywhere. And we mean EVERYWHERE. The roof, the kitchen… even their toddler son Daniel's bedroom:

 

As building went on, it seemed poor Sinéad and George couldn't catch a break. Dermot's entire plan had to be re-done after a full roof replacement blew three-quarters of the €180k budget.

And there was talk of a 'foul smell' due to dampness.

 

Basically everyone watching vowed NEVER to buy their own house:

 

In the end though, it all worked out…

 

There was even a double-height ceiling – Dermot's fave:

 

And while the house looked FAB, it was Sinéad's glam red hair that really stole the show.

Total hair envy.
