Room to Improve is back to help us all get over The Fear on these cold wintry Sunday nights, and while last week we were quite taken with Robbie and his wife Julie from Darndale, last night it was the turn of sprout farmer Enda and his wife Mags to win the hearts of the nation.
The couple had been living on their farm with their children for the last 32 years but decided they wanted to move into their nearby town of Rush, to be closer to the sea, and, well, the pub.
From the word go we learned that Enda had intended to be very hands-on with the project and Dermot, along with the rest of us, rolled our eyes and thought, here we go, another client who fancies themselves to be a bit of a builder.
But yep, Dermot wildly underestimated Enda, and we all shook our heads at him and thought, 'I can't believe Dermot could possibly underestimate Enda'.

Think the wrong Enda is running the country #roomtoimprove ??

From the speed at which he put up the house, to his last minute decision for a garage-come-boat house, Enda kept Dermot on his toes throughout, and always seemed to be one step ahead. By the end, however, a sense of mutual admiration and respect meant that a friendship was born, with the pair of them even going for a pint together. N'aww.
I'd happily watch a series of these 2 lads just going around the country, drinking pints and sorting out the worlds problems #roomtoimprove pic.twitter.com/KOoLiOYwpm

All's well that ends well in another rollercoaster episode of Room to Improve.
One of my favourite #RoomToImprove episodes and lovely people too!

#roomtoimprove this week was my fav in a good while. Unreal house and great banter between Dermot and Enda! Topped off with a #bromance!
