Newlyweds Jim and Ally Pleuss want to open up the living and dining room space in their new house by tearing out the walls around the staircase. But a never-ending demolition, "rolling" support walls, and a freak wheelbarrow accident leave them with nothing but a big hole in the floor.

Jesse and Becky Carbone have lived in their house for four years and have hated their kitchen the entire time. These two inexperienced DIYers want to completely gut the space and turn it into the kitchen of their dreams! But with limited renovation knowledge, incorrect measurements and improper tools this kitchen dream quickly turns into a nightmare.
