    Mike and Sonja Harris have never been happy with the 8'x12' slab of concrete that has served as their back patio for the past four years. It is simply too small to throw the kind of backyard get-togethers they have been dreaming about. Now, with invites already out to their friends and a barbecue planned for the coming weekend, the Harris family must demolish the old concrete pad and assemble a much larger "paver-patio" in time to enjoy the backyard before the summer ends. But they can't do it alone, so renovation fanatic Gionni Thompson is going to pitch in. He's a high school science teacher during the week, but in his spare time he's fixed and flipped eight homes over the past eleven years. But nothing can prepare anyone for the blistering heat. Temperatures are supposed to break into triple digits this weekend and the yard doesn't have any shade! Can they get it Finished in 48 or will they have to hold another "inside" party?
