HGTV’s Sarah Richardson begins building an off the grid country house, but Mike Holmes warns that being their own general contractors could result in divorce dust for Sarah and her husband Alex.
Sarah and Alex make progress on their off the grid systems and Tommy has a great idea to transform the lower level, but Sarah’s design decisions are overruled by Alex and his team.
Sarah juggles the duties of general contractor, designer and mom as she tries to integrate her daughters’ ideas into the design of their bedrooms, even if she doesn’t always agree.
With the 'principal suite' underway Sarah and Alex decide to take a trip together, leaving Ed and Tommy to manage the site. Trouble ensues creating a ripple effect that could put Sarah’s entire build behind schedule.
As the house approaches completion, Sarah wants every detail to be perfect. When it comes to big ticket items like hardwood flooring, “perfect” is a moving target. Sarah and Alex have to pull the team together to finish the Living Room.
Sarah’s dream house is in the home stretch. With Tommy’s help, the open concept main floor evolves into distinct kitchen and dining room layouts. When Sarah is pulled away from the site for a work commitment, disaster threatens, and the weather wreaks havoc as the team tries to finish the exterior. Can they make it right by the time Mike Holmes arrives for a final check?
