More Than You Can Chew

The Perfect Properties

Changing the Game

As more hidden problems arise at one of the properties, Bryan makes a game-changing decision that affects the whole project. Meanwhile, the Baeumlers try to balance work and home life as their annual family vacation is threatened by a huge roadblock.

What's the Delay?

While Bryan desperately attempts to catch up on weeks of construction delays, Sarah struggles to fit her design preferences within the budget. Both challenging projects continue to keep the Bauemlers on edge.

We're Out, Sort Of

Stormy Weather

Holidays and weather delays keep the Baeumlers on their toes when they are forced to solve constant issues at the finishing stage. As Bryan and Sarah attempt to finish the exterior of the house, the frustrated electrician also deals with a setback.

High(view) and Mighty

Laying the Foundation

Down for the Count

Weathering the Storm

Bryan battles Mother Nature as he tries to finish the roof, while Rebecca and Sarah's relationship hits a breaking point. Then, the Baeumlers enlist the help of a friend to work on the deck, and Bryan and Sarah clash over the interior finishes.

Bear Scare

Sarah's reluctance to build their cottage in the wilderness proves to be a valid concern as the wildlife gets too close for comfort. Then, Bryan and Sarah get heated in choosing a look for the fireplace, and Bryan struggles to tile the floor on schedule.

Taking Sides

Stepping up as lead designer, Sarah joins Darren to face-off with Bryan over the siding and stresses about a key bathroom element that won't be ready in time. Then, Bryan comes up with modifications to make the cabinets and appliances fit in their spaces.

All Hands on Deck

With his deadline looming, Bryan realizes the light at the end of the tunnel is further away than planned as final touches pull the crew in all directions. When the cottage is completed, Bryan and Sarah recount the most-memorable moments of the build.

A New Addition

Builder Bryan Baeumler convinces his wife Sarah to uproot their growing family and head to the country where he plans to build their dream home. Bryan begins renovation on the new house while his family -- including their newborn daughter -- live there.

Flood, Sweat and Tears

Bryan is forced to leave town, and the timing couldn't be worse as Mother Baeumler is left to battle with Mother Nature on her own. Then, Bryan returns home to a damp disaster.

Should We Stay or Should We Go?

As winter looms, Bryan makes major repairs to the existing part of the house and disrupts the sleeping arrangements for the entire family. Then, Sarah and Bryan's arguments get heated as they butt heads over design features in the great room and kitchen.

Truth or Stair?

Bryan pushes to complete the drywall, but electrical and staircase hiccups force him to slow down. As the long winter continues, Bryan comes home to some unfortunate surprises after the family's vacation.

A Hardwood Day's Night

With spring on the way, Bryan must fix the stained limestone on the exterior of the house and fulfill Sarah's request to resurrect the old doors for the playroom. Then, the new addition is ready for hardwood, but Bryan might not be ready for the bill.

Tile and Error

The main floor tiles finally arrive for installation, but Bryan's electrician makes a costly error. Then, Sarah goes rogue with a design feature when Bryan leaves for a trip.

Lights Out

The crew makes the final push to complete the addition, and Sarah must pick new lights at the eleventh hour. Then, the Baeumlers reveal their living spaces in the finished addition.

The Frame Game

With the addition complete, Bryan is itching to keep the renovation momentum going. Meanwhile, Sarah and Bryan try to nail down the layout in the old part of the house, and Bryan pushes to vault the ceiling.
