Overview: First, we return to Portland, Oregon, where TV weather forecaster Sophie and her salesman husband, Donovan, decided to used their $250,000 budget to buy the worst house on the best block. They took on a major renovation, all by themselves, and the results are remarkable. Next, we check in with Jamie and Ben, first time buyers in Minneapolis, Minnesota, who managed to find a home within their $300,000 budget with everything they wanted, except a driveway! You'll see what it took to turn their promising place into something perfect, just in time for a very special surprise. Finally, we head to Cincinnati, Ohio, where single dad Doug was prepared to spend $2 million dollars on a spacious home to host his three daughters. He found a fixer-upper in a gorgeous setting, but when he embarked on his renovation project, discovered it was going to take a lot more than he ever imagined to create his ideal family home. |
