Challenge Tommy Walsh
A couple who are expecting their first baby, want a glass room built in the cellar area of their house. Emma and John's unique house built on stilts is lacking space. Tommy and Alan plan to create a glass-fronted room for them between the stilts.
A new structure has emerged on the stilts of Emma and John's house for the new room. Tommy now needs to keep the style consistent with matching windows. Tommy calls on his glazier friends to copy the window style from the upper rooms to keep the style consistent by matching the new windows.
Time is running out but Tommy and Alan still have a lot to do including fitting a sliding glass door and installing a spiral staircase reclaimed from elsewhere in the house.
