Holmes Family Effect Season 1 Episode 3 One Step at a Time

In season 1 episode 3 of the Holmes Family Effect, titled "One Step at a Time," Mike Holmes and his children, Sherry and Michael, work alongside a family who have been through a difficult time. The Ellis family, who reside in the small town of Ogden, Alberta, are an outdoor-loving family who, despite the challenges they have faced, remain resilient and hopeful.

The episode begins with the Holmes family heading to the Ellis residence for their initial consultation. Mike, Sherry, and Michael are greeted by the family, who are excited to see what they can do to transform their home and backyard. The family comprises of parents, Heather and Trevor, and their two children, Cohen and Scarlett. Trevor has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a condition that has restricted his mobility, making it difficult for him to move around the house and enjoy outdoor activities with his children.

One of the main challenges for the Holmes family is to transform the Ellis family's backyard into an accessible outdoor oasis. The backyard has a steep incline, making it difficult for Trevor to move around with ease, and limiting the family's potential for outdoor activities. Mike and his team of experts work tirelessly to create a series of terraces and pathways that will allow the family to enjoy the backyard comfortably.

Meanwhile, Sherry and Michael focus on transforming the interior of the home to accommodate Trevor's mobility needs. The team replaces the stairs with a ramp, installs a motorized lift to take Trevor to the second floor, and modifies the bathroom to make it more accessible. Additionally, the team works to create a functional and inviting living space for the family, including a new fireplace, improved lighting, and new furniture.

Throughout the episode, the Holmes family engages with the Ellis family, listening to their wants and needs, and going above and beyond to create a space that is not only functional but also beautiful and personalized to their tastes. The team works tirelessly for weeks to complete the project, taking into consideration every small detail, from the color of the paint to the type of plants in the garden.

As the project nears completion, the Ellis family returns home to see their newly transformed space. The family is amazed at the transformation and overwhelmed with gratitude for the work that has been done. Heather and Trevor express their appreciation for the Holmes family, acknowledging the impact they have had on their lives. The family can now enjoy their backyard together, with Trevor being able to move around with ease, and their home's interior is now equipped to make Trevor's daily routines more manageable.

In "One Step at a Time," the Holmes family demonstrates their passion for helping others and transforming homes into spaces that are both accessible and beautiful. The Ellis family's story is a reminder of the resilience and strength that can be found within families facing difficult situations. The episode leaves viewers feeling inspired and moved by the impact that the Holmes family has on the families they work with.
