- October 10, 2019
Holmes and Holmes season 3 episode 2, titled "Divide and Conquer," follows the father-son team as they take on a challenging renovation project. Mike and MJ are tasked with renovating a home that is in desperate need of repair to make it livable for a family with young children.
The episode begins with Mike and MJ assessing the damage to the home. They quickly realize that the house needs a lot of work, as the roof is leaking, the walls are crumbling, and the layout of the home is impractical. Despite the enormity of the task, Mike and MJ are eager to take on the challenge and get started on the renovation.
The first step in the renovation process is to tear down the walls that are dividing the home into smaller rooms. Mike and MJ use sledgehammers to knock down the walls, and the transformation is immediate. The open concept design allows natural light to flood the space, making it feel brighter and more spacious. The new layout also allows the family to spend time together in a communal space, which was previously impossible.
However, tearing down the walls reveals some unexpected issues with the home's insulation. Mike and MJ discover that the previous homeowners had used old newspaper as insulation, which was severely outdated and ineffective. They quickly address the issue by installing new insulation and taking care to seal any gaps that may have allowed air to escape.
As the renovation progresses, Mike and MJ encounter further challenges, including an issue with the home's plumbing. They have to bring in a specialist to address the problem, delaying the project but ensuring that the home's plumbing will be up to code and functional once again.
Despite these challenges, Mike and MJ remain focused on their goal of creating a safe, comfortable space for the family. They work tirelessly, often putting in long hours in the hopes of completing the renovation on time.
In the final stages of the renovation, Mike and MJ turn their attention to the home's exterior. They replace the old and worn siding with new, modern siding, giving the house a fresh and updated look. They also add a new deck to the back of the house, providing the family with a space to enjoy the outdoors.
As the episode comes to a close, Mike and MJ reflect on the project and the rewarding feeling of creating a safe and functional home for a family in need. The episode ends with the family moving into their new home and expressing their gratitude to Mike and MJ for their hard work and dedication.
Overall, "Holmes and Holmes" season 3 episode 2, "Divide and Conquer," is a heartwarming and inspiring episode that showcases the Holmes father-son team at their best. Their dedication to their craft and commitment to helping others shines through in every scene, making for a truly satisfying viewing experience.
