Ben Sargent is headed to Burlington, Vermont, to meet the Brandt Family. Artist Maea and tennis coach Rob live with their two young daughters in Burlington Center. The Brandts would like Ben and his build team to renovate their 100-year-old carriage barn into a part-time family play space, part-time rustic rental property.

A Burlington, Vermont, couple hires Ben to transform the top floor of their century-old barn into a retreat for family and potential renters. Ben and his team get to work building a bed nook and a spa-like area with a clawfoot tub, but the crew must work quickly to avoid disaster when a structural beam under them almost gives way.

A couple in the storybook village of Richmond, Vermont, want to get Ben and Lee's thoughts on their run-down storage shed before they tear it down. After clearing out the space, Ben sees an opportunity to transform the space into rustic rental complete with a cozy sleeping loft and vintage kitchen.
