5x4 - Mark and Priscilla

September 18, 2013

Back home after years of exotic travel, and with a second child on the way, Mark and Priscilla are desperate to escape their cramped rental. They want a big, detached, open-concept house in a family friendly neighborhood. 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. But Mark's expensive tastes result in a pricy fixer-upper. So when a slew of unexpected structural, electrical and plumbing issues surface, rising costs create major tension for the mom and dad-to-be. And setbacks to the schedule add pressure on Jonathan who has promised to deliver the reno before Priscilla delivers the baby. But his focus on essential structural solutions is diverted by Mark's premature fixation with finishes.
