Property Brothers: Buying & Selling Season 2 Episode 13 Abby & David

Abby and David are a newlywed couple who have just moved into their first home together. Although the house has potential, it needs a lot of work to make it their dream home. The couple needs expert help, so they call on Jonathan and Drew Scott, the experts from HGTV's "Buying and Selling."

When the Scott brothers arrive, they start by touring the house and assessing what needs to be done. Jonathan, the contractor, focuses on the structural elements, while Drew, the real estate agent, suggests upgrades that will add value to the home.

The couple's first priority is to expand the small kitchen, which is cramped and lacks counter space. Jonathan suggests taking down a wall between the kitchen and dining room to create an open-concept living area. He also recommends extending the kitchen into a covered porch to create a more spacious cooking and dining area.

Drew's suggestion for adding value to the home is to create a master suite on the main floor, which is currently being used as a spare bedroom. The master suite would include a walk-in closet and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a his-and-hers vanity.

While the renovations are underway, Drew takes Abby and David house hunting to find them a new home that meets their needs. The couple has a long list of must-haves, including a large kitchen, a home office, and outdoor space for entertaining. Drew shows them several properties that check off some of their boxes, but none are quite right.

Meanwhile, Jonathan encounters some unexpected challenges during the renovation. When he removes the wall between the kitchen and dining room, he discovers that it's load-bearing and needs extra support. He also discovers that the porch is not structurally sound and needs to be rebuilt. These setbacks eat into the budget and delay the project, causing stress for Abby and David.

Despite the setbacks, Jonathan uses his expertise to come up with creative solutions to keep the project on track and within budget. He removes the load-bearing wall and installs a beam to support the ceiling. He also rebuilds the porch using cost-effective materials that look great and add value to the home.

With the renovations nearing completion, Drew takes Abby and David to see one final property that he thinks might be perfect for them. The house has a stunning kitchen, a spacious home office, and a backyard with space for entertaining. Abby and David instantly fall in love and put in an offer.

In the end, both the renovations and the house hunt have successful outcomes. The newly renovated home is transformed into their dream space and the couple is thrilled with their new home.
