James and David are desperate to escape their nightmare townhouse, the one with mountainous stairs beside a stinky sewage plant. They want way more space, natural light and high ceilings, close to downtown. The Property Brothers come to the rescue helping them find a budget-friendly dream home that can be renovated on time. With a budget that doesn't match the couple's expectations, Drew and Jonathan struggle to sell the potential of a fixer-upper. The renovation is underway and James quickly gets swinging, with a sledgehammer, on their future dream home. That is, until control freak David becomes an interior design diva and makes life difficult for Jonathan with a growing list of expensive add-ons. Living under the renovation in the basement starts to wear on the couple, but it doesn't stop David from making one more adjustment to the plan.
