Ruth and Lindsey live in a 1990s developer home near Middlesbrough. Their focus in recent years has been achieving their goal of having a family. Now, with two young daughters, it is time for Lindsey and Ruth to tackle their home, which fails to meet the needs of their family. The problems begin the moment they come through the door. The tiny hallway barely allows for a buggy to be brought into the house. When inside, it has to be brought through almost every room on the ground floor before it can be put away. Meanwhile, the kitchen has almost no storage and is disconnected from the living spaces where the children play, so the family are rarely all in the same room at the same time.
