Renovation Raiders: Craft Room Reno

When homeowner Jennifer faced a health crisis, her daughters and husband became her strong supporters and gave her the courage to fight back. Now that doctors have given her a clean bill of health, Jennifer wants to thank her family with an amazing basement reno. Amy and her team will create a fun craft room and family media room to surprise the family. Jennifer takes her daughters and husband to the fair for a planned 5-hour adventure. Her best friend Tammy will act as a spy, and communicate with Amy to make sure the family stays away long enough for the team to complete the job. Amy and her crew demo the current basement, and divide the L-shaped room into two rooms with a wall of sliding doors and windows. The craft room gets custom built-ins including a craft table, sewing station and fabric wall. In the family room, the team refaces the dull brick fireplace and creates a new media center, installs new bookcases, flooring, paints and refurnishes the entire space. But the basement space creates havoc with cell phone communications, and when Amy needs more time to complete the reno, she is unable to reach the spy. The floors and bookcases are unfinished, and the new furniture isn't in place. If the spy hasn't delayed the family on her own, this reno will be busted.
