    episode DTTR-302F


    DIY to the Rescue visits the home of Dave and Allison Estabrooks. The Estabrooks so dread tackling any home improvement projects, they'd rather escape to the islands than face doing it alone. The floors are cold, drab concrete, the windows are ragged and crooked, the baseboard is unfinished and the couple can't comfortably watch TV from their bed. This rescue will include the addition of warmth and tropical splendor to the Estabrooks' bedroom.

    The Estabrooks have lived with a bare concrete floor underfoot for over seven years!

    Allison Estabrook can never close the closet door due to the size and awkward position of the TV cabinet.

    Overall, the uninspired bedroom makes the Estabrooks want to escape.
