Series 31: 3. The Big Build - Carbis Bay
Nick Knowles, his trusty DIY SOS team and hundreds of kind volunteers renovate the home of three orphaned boys in Cornwall. \n\nAfter 15 years of fostering 103 children, Stephen and Lynn Smedley were looking forward to their well-earned retirement together in Carbis Bay, Cornwall. However, in April 2017, their dream dramatically changed, when Carrie, their beloved 32-year-old daughter died. Since Carrie’s death, life has been very tough for Carrie's three sons. They are grieving their mother’s untimely death while sharing a small 10x12ft bedroom with a triple bunk bed. There is only one bathroom, and Lynn has been forced to do the washing and ironing in the wooden shed due to lack of space. Stephen cares for the boys while Lynn works 23 hours per week as a healthcare assistant. They are struggling, so they need the home reconfigured and enlarged to accommodate three growing, grieving boys. Now DIY SOS and their generous volunteers are stepping up to help.
