A modular extension that took only hours to install has been added to a council home in Nottingham. The specially-designed bathroom suite was installed at the house by the city council to help a five-year-old boy.
Fenlan, who has Batten's disease, needs the ground-floor suite to make life easier for him and his mother.
When Nottingham City Council offered to upgrade the facilities at his home, they decided to build the extension elsewhere and drop it into place.
His mother Mandy Newton, who lives with him in Bilborough, Nottingham, said: "There won't be any lifting now - and he is quite heavy."
City council spokesman Tony Dawson said: "She has had one week of disruption - and most of that was outdoors.
"Now, in two hours, we've installed a new extension."
Council officials say it is the first time a modular extension of this kind has been used in the East Midlands.
The bathroom extension cost about �25,000 to design, build and install.
