Brian and Therese Jacobsen's (and their two young daughters) lives changed drastically last year. Brian fell in a skiing accident and is paralyzed from the neck down. He spent five months in a hospital and is now adjusting to a new life at home in a wheelchair. Both he and his wife have a positive, and determined, attitude about the future, but their cozy home needs a transformation to accommodate this new situation. The plan is to take the garage and turn it into a gym and rehabilitation room.
Host Michael Ray Wisely, Therese and contractor Kevin Beck build walls to enclose the laundry room. The remaining walls of the garage are insulated and covered with plywood to allow Brian access to the new gym. A platform is built and a wheelchair lift installed.
