Episode 1
Cal and Claire realise the scale of restoring Jameswood Villa and start a GoFundMe page for financial help. The scaffolding is erected and structural work commences on the roof.
Cal and Claire inspect the property in its current state, talking through the various works that need doing. They enlist help from volunteers sourced online from around the globe.
The financial struggles that Cal and Claire are up against become evident as they realise that the work that鈥檚 needed on Jameswood Villa is much greater than they ever anticipated. Living in a caravan on site and doing as much of the work as they physically can themselves alongside unpaid volunteers, they realise it鈥檚 time for some financial help.
As their unique story of the accidental purchase of the villa spreads online and their social media presence subsequently grows, Cal and Claire set up a GoFundMe page and begin receiving generous donations from people from all over the world - some as far away as Australia - who are following their story and wish to donate.
The initial funds received are used to buy scaffolding from eBay to save money on hiring a scaffolding company. The scaffolding is erected by Cal and Claire, and work commences on the roof. As parts of the roof are caving in, the scale of the task becomes apparent, and between safety concerns and a professional quote of 拢40,000, which is what they paid for the whole property, it鈥檚 becoming a desperate situation. Cal鈥檚 dad, who has some experience in the industry, steps in to help.
