Licensed contractor Trent Fasnacht has a passion for renovating pig's ears, aka old homes in Charleston, South Carolina. His next project is just outside the city in the small town of Summerville. It's a 107-year-old country Victorian home that has fallen into disrepair over the years. Trent starts the renovation with the exterior. He restores the original porch with period correct tongue and groove flooring, and re-uses the home's original wood shingles and century old brick to create a new arbor and front walkway.
Chris and Amy perform a lead abatement throughout the entire house, restore the living room to its former glory, complete a cement tiled fireplace facade and build a bookshelf.
Chris and Amy update their master suite with salvaged closet doors and an antique mantel in the bedroom; a huge new shower and reproduction subway tile is added to the bathroom; a time capsule is put into the bathroom wall.
New parents Chris and Amy start the renovation of a historic 1903 Detroit home that they bought at auction. In the 1920's, the house was owned by Chris's great-grandparents, who lost it in the Depression. They demolish the kitchen, transform a butler's pantry into a new breakfast nook, and update the whole room with modern appliances and custom cabinetry. They also add an art deco powder room in the adjacent space.
