Emma and Scott had been searching for a house to better accommodate Emma's limited mobility and deteriorating condition due to her multiple sclerosis (MS) - after a tireless search for a new place and being outbid more times than they could count, they decided that it was time to refocus their attention on their current home. Now Kortney and Kenny are eager to assist this family.

Odessa and Shannon moved into their newly-built home in 2005 with dreams of planting roots and living a cosy family life - however, Hurricane Katrina then hit, and this young couple ended up taking in 29 house guests who had lost their own homes in the natural disaster. The house now remains a shrine to that crazy part of their lives, so the couple want to jump into the future.

James and Elizabeth's young family are world travellers and have never owned a real home - after deciding that it was time to settle down, they purchased a massive house in the nicest community, but it also had to be the most outdated for them to afford it. Kortney understands what it is like to have three small children, so she enlists Kenny's help to open up the walls and make room.
