Ep 1. Poisoned

In Homestead Rescue season 4 episode 1, titled "Poisoned," the Raneys are called to a remote homestead in Idaho that is being run by a couple named Tyler and Lindsay. The couple has been living off the land for four years, but they have been struggling to make ends meet. Their animals keep getting attacked by predators, and they have a water source that is contaminated with arsenic, which is causing them to constantly become ill.

As the Raneys arrive at the property, they notice that the homestead is in a state of disarray. The couple has been trying to build structures without the proper tools or materials, and everything is falling apart. To make matters worse, the homestead is infested with rats, which are causing a lot of damage. Tyler and Lindsay have been at their wits' end trying to keep their homestead afloat, and they are eager for the Raneys' help.

The Raneys immediately get to work, assessing the property and trying to come up with a plan to make the homestead sustainable. Marty, Matt, and Misty realize that they have a lot of work ahead of them, but they are determined to help the couple. They start by fixing up the couple's living quarters, which is a small cabin that is in desperate need of repairs. The Raneys quickly get to work, building a new roof and fixing up the walls. They also help the couple build a new outhouse, which is a crucial feature for any homestead.

The Raneys then turn their attention to the couple's water source, which is contaminated with arsenic. They realize that this is a serious health hazard, and they need to find a way to fix it. The Raneys start by testing the water to see how contaminated it is. They find that there are dangerous levels of arsenic present, and they need to come up with a solution quickly.

Marty, Matt, and Misty start by building a new water system for the homestead. They install a water pump that will allow the couple to draw water from a nearby stream. However, they need to find a way to purify the water before it is drinkable. Marty comes up with a solution, using a special system that will filter out the arsenic and make the water safe for consumption. The Raneys work tirelessly into the night to get the system up and running, and they are relieved to find that it works perfectly.

Next, the Raneys turn their attention to the pests that have taken over the homestead. Tyler and Lindsay have been struggling to keep the rats at bay, and they have been causing a lot of damage to their property. The Raneys start by clearing out all the old structures that have been the breeding grounds for rats. They then build new structures that are rat-proof, and they set up traps around the property.

Throughout the episode, the Raneys work tirelessly to help Tyler and Lindsay get their homestead back on track. They come up with solutions to all the problems that the couple is facing, and they do it all with an incredible sense of determination. By the end of the episode, Tyler and Lindsay are amazed at how much the Raneys have been able to accomplish in such a short amount of time.

In "Poisoned," the Raneys once again prove that they are the ultimate homesteading experts. They are able to take a property that is in shambles and turn it into a thriving homestead. With their help, Tyler and Lindsay can finally start living the life that they have always dreamed of.
