Julia Bradbury has got the keys to her cottage and starts to realise what a tough task she has to get all the work done on budget. The house has no water or electricity and needs work to the roof. She also wants to put in a new staircase and knock down some walls. But with around 3,000 pounds left to spend, the enormity of the challenge hits home. Julia calls her friend, designer and salvage expert Max McMurdo, for help. Together they decide what needs to be done to her Little Blue House.
