In Belfast, a sink is waiting to be fitted in the barn at MacAulay College near Stornoway, but Donnie needs the students to help clear the barn before work can start! Throughout the series, he also follows the building process as a new house is constructed in Argyll. And when a deck chair is mentioned, Donnie is expecting a relaxing time but a surprise awaits as the concrete foundation works are underway.

In Lewis, amateur meteorologist Eddy Graham needs help after winter storms have battered his weather-vane to the ground.

As he's in the garden doing that, Donnie spots a few more improvements which will help Eddy and his wife June.
