A contractor has recently taken advantage of Sammy, a mentor and father figure to Danielle's family, taking his money and leaving his main floor a construction zone. With her husband Greg still out of town, Danielle rallies the troops together to make this a true family affair. She enlists the help of her brother, her children, and calls in favors left-and-right in order to stretch what remains of Sammy's budget.

Danielle's sister Terry is about to ask her for a big favor: after 10 years of owning a rental home, and with all the wear and tear that comes with that, Terry wants to renovate and sell it. They want to start with the backyard first and it will be a complete overhaul ? replacing the deck, fencing, plants, trees, new aluminum siding and redoing the stonework. One of the biggest challenges facing Danielle is having her older sister as a client. Will they be able realize that they are now both grown adults or revert back to old childhood squabbles? Danielle is also approached by her son Dempsey, who needs extra money for a new bike. Instead of just giving him the money, Danielle suggests that he can come to Terry's with her and earn the money he needs from a few days of hard work.
