Ep 5. Backyard Block Party

In Cousins Undercover season 1 episode 5, named Backyard Block Party, host Anthony Carrino along with his cousin and co-host John Colaneri visit the town of Franklin Park, New Jersey. Their mission is to surprise the James family by completely transforming their backyard into a beautiful oasis where they can host a block party for their neighbors and friends.

The James family is a hardworking, middle-class family with a special place in their hearts for their community. They host annual block parties in their backyard, but their backyard is in dire need of a makeover. The Cousins step in to surprise them with a backyard renovation that will leave them and their friends in awe.

Anthony and John have only three days to complete the renovation, and they have their work cut out for them. The backyard is in disarray, with no proper seating area, and a patchy lawn. The Cousins' plan includes a beautiful pergola, a fire pit, and a snack bar. They enlist the help of local contractors to create a beautiful outdoor space that the James family and their friends will love.

The Cousins start by creating a seating area using a mix of wood and concrete pavers. The pergola is the main feature of the backyard, providing much-needed shade on hot summer days. The Cousins use treated lumber to build the deck, and they select a beautiful stain that accentuates the natural wood grain. The pergola itself is made of natural cedar and features a beautiful lattice design that adds to the overall appeal of the space.

Next, the Cousins add a beautiful fire pit with built-in seating. The fire pit is the perfect addition to the space and provides warmth and ambience during the cooler months. The Cousins select natural gas as the fuel source, making it easy for the James family to use and maintain. The seating around the fire pit is made from the same materials as the pergola, creating a cohesive look throughout the backyard.

To finish off the transformation, the Cousins add a snack bar, complete with a grill, sink, and refrigerator. The snack bar is the perfect addition to the backyard, allowing the James family to serve food and drinks to their guests during their block parties. The Cousins use natural stone for the countertops, creating a durable and attractive work surface.

The final result is a beautiful backyard oasis that the James family and their friends can enjoy for years to come. The Cousins' dedication and hard work are evident in every aspect of the transformation, and the James family is overjoyed with the final product. The block party is a huge success, with the James family's neighbors and friends impressed with the transformation of their backyard.

Throughout the episode, the Cousins showcase their incredible skillset, not only in transforming spaces but also in their ability to connect with the James family and their community. Their passion for helping others and giving back to those in need is inspiring, and their dedication to creating beautiful outdoor spaces is unparalleled.

Overall, Cousins Undercover season 1 episode 5 is an incredible example of how two individuals can come together to make a difference in the lives of others. The transformation of the James family's backyard is breathtaking, and the Cousins' dedication to their work is evident throughout the episode. The James family and their community are blessed to have such incredible individuals who are willing to give back and help others.
