This week the team are in Clondalkin in Dublin, where Lisa and John Kelly share a modest three bed terraced home with seven of their nine children. John works five days a week and Lisa has a full-time job as a stay-at-home mum – somehow managing to feed, clothe and organise an army of kids in the most cluttered, least functional home imaginable.
Despite the support of the family and several attempts by her eldest daughter Danielle to help her mum combat the chaos, nothing has changed for the last seven years. Downstairs, the living room and hallway are completely hemmed in, the kitchen is filled with bags of clothes and the layout makes no sense for this busy family. Faced with this monumental challenge Dee is straight in at the deep end – determined to bring the heart of family life back to this home. And so, with the help of friends, family, a king-sized crew of de-clutterers and more builders than you can shake a stick at, the biggest home rescue to date rumbles into action.
In the assembly hall of a local school, an epic sorting job gets underway on the contents of the house – including Lisa’s huge charity shop collection, the combined wardrobe of two adults, seven kids and no less than 500 pairs of shoes.
Meanwhile, Dee sets to work designing a new kitchen and transforming the chaotic ground floor into useable space with new units, hidden appliances, and clever storage. But with the house filled with builders and the assembly hall bursting with clutter, there seems to be no end to the chaos as time starts to runs out.
