Title: Dave and Jean Moss
Weekend Reno focuses on ordinary people who take on the daunting task of renovating their own homes. Season 1 episode 3 follows Dave and Jean Moss, a couple in their 50s who have lived in their home for over 25 years in Toronto.
Dave and Jean's home is outdated, and although they have made some small updates over the years, they are ready for a complete transformation. They are looking to open up their living space and create a more modern and cohesive design throughout the house.
The episode starts with the hosts, John and Leigh, meeting with Dave and Jean for the first time. They listen to the couple's renovation goals and assess the home's current state. John and Leigh note that the house is in good structural condition but needs some updating to make it more functional and contemporary.
Next, the team moves on to the planning stage. John and Leigh take measurements of the home and create a budget for the project. They then work with Dave and Jean to design a new floor plan, taking into account their desire to create an open concept living area.
Once the planning is complete, the renovation begins. The first task is to knock down a wall separating the kitchen and living room. The team quickly discovers that the wall is load-bearing, meaning it cannot be knocked down without proper reinforcement. They make a plan to install a steel beam to support the ceiling, and the homeowners temporarily move out of the house while the work is completed.
While the structural work is being done, John and Leigh turn their attention to other areas of the home. They work with Dave and Jean to pick out new flooring, cabinets, and paint colors. The couple is excited to see their vision for a modern, open-concept home beginning to take shape.
The next stage of the renovation involves updating the upstairs bedrooms. The team removes outdated wallpaper, installs new light fixtures, and updates the doors and hardware. They also replace the old carpeting with new hardwood floors. The transformation is stunning, and Dave and Jean are thrilled with the changes.
Finally, the team moves on to the last phase of the project: the exterior of the home. They replace the old, worn-out siding with new, energy-efficient vinyl siding. They also update the landscaping, adding new plants and flowers to the front yard.
In the end, John and Leigh deliver an amazing transformation to Dave and Jean's home. The couple is thrilled with the results, and their friends and family are amazed at the changes. The new open-concept living space is perfect for entertaining, and the modern updates throughout the home make it feel like new. Dave and Jean are grateful to the Weekend Reno team for helping them create their dream home.
