Johnny and Jacqui's dated and dysfunctional kitchen would be a problem for most families, but with a seven-year-old-son and five rescue dogs in their house, mealtimes have become chaotic and stressful. They can't move because they live close to a fantastic park for the dogs and they don't want to disrupt their son's schooling. Desperate for a solution to create a more functional space for their unique family, they enlist Drew and Jonathan to help solve their canine conundrum.

Krystal and Ben moved back to their childhood neighbourhood with the goal of giving their five-year-old daughter the chance to grow up around her extended family, many of whom live close by. But the 1950s house they bought hasn't undergone any significant renovations since it was built, and that's a problem. While Ben is all in, Krystal is skeptical about their purchase, as the list of things to fix and remove - mould, asbestos, old wiring and plumbing, outdated windows - is daunting.
