| 0:42.5 | Sophie Saltford in Edenfield in La La Lancashire, wonderful Lancashire. |
| 0:47.2 | Hi, Vernon. |
| 0:48.1 | You and your fellow are renovating your new home. |
| 0:51.2 | Yeah, you could say that. |
| 0:52.8 | What have you got and what do you want it to be? |
| 0:55.0 | Well, at the moment, it's just a bit of rubble and it's got no roof. Wow. We have got floors in it now, though, which is good. So you bought a shell? Yeah, you could say that. What was it? Was it an old home? Was it a mill? Was it a barn? Originally, like many things in Lancashire, it was a mill owner's home. |
| 1:12.4 | It's been a care home and a hotel. |
| 1:14.8 | Wow. an old home? Was it a mill? Was it a barn? Originally, like many things in Lancashire, it was a mill owner's home. |
| 1:12.4 | It's been a care home and a hotel. Wow, quite big then. Yeah, it's very pretty, I would say, and now we're putting it back to just being a home. All right, well, good luck with that. Thanks, I'm going to need it. Have you looked into the history of the old mill owner's house?

Like ghostbusters? Yeah, a bit like an old hard drive with some headphones attached to it or something. Oh, be it, you're still. I don't know. Maybe I'm a bit skeptical. I don't know. Well, good luck, Sophie. What kind of music do you put on when you're renovating? What gets you going? I'm a 90s girl at heart. I mean, I grew up my mum listening to Earthwind and Fire and things, but my dad was more like rocks. I love Thin Lizzie. Phil Linnett is my idol. Oh, brilliant. All right, well good luck. Remember, you can get a 65, you get them all right, and you play joker at the end. I'm aiming for three at best. People win with a three, don't they? Wow. I just hope you raise your standards a little bit higher. I'm just setting the bar low and hoping for better. |
| 2:19.4 | All right, well, good luck, Sophie. Here we go. |
| 2:19.7 | Are you ready? |
| 2:20.6 | Thank you. |
| 2:20.8 | Yeah. |
