Unpleasant Surprises

Demolition and excavation continues and with it some unpleasant surprises for Silene and Geno Rush. Some of the walls they were hoping to save in order to save money may not be salvageable. And an oil tank is found buried outside the kitchen. What it contains may mean much more money out of the Rush's limited budget. And a freak snowstorm pushes the project behind schedule. Geno's long days at work, at the building site and taking care of baby Jada are beginning wear on his nerves. Tension and tempers flare-up as Geno locks horns with contractor Jerry Janeck over a favorite magnolia tree that has been "pruned" with excavation equipment.

Season 15, Episode 5

End of Demolition, Begin Construction

Season 15, Episode 7

Heating, Cooling and Fixtures

Now that the roof is on and the walls are up, Silene and Geno Rush can focus on the inside. Geno's attempt to save money by hiring his own electrical and heating/cooling sub-contractors causes more doubts from main contractor Jerry Janeck - and more work for Geno. A trip to buy bathroom fixtures and a kitchen countertop causes a clash between budget-minded Silene and reach-for-the-sky Geno. Everyone pitches in to clean up before the drywall begins, and a big family development puts even more work on Geno's shoulders.

Raising the Walls

With the happy news of their second baby on the way, Geno and Silene Rush are more under the gun than ever. Inside and out, the house is ready for a major transformation. The siding can now go on, but a mix-up in the soffit order causes a big delay in the schedule and a big hit to the budget. On the inside, Geno is trying to install a central vacuum system but only has one night to get it done before the insulation and walls go up. After discovering that the sheetrock is too big to carry up the stairs, a crane is used to hoist the huge bundles to the upper levels. And Silene struggles to find just the right paint colors that Geno will like in time for a painting party.

Faulty Floors, Raising the Walls

Silene and Geno Rush are finally seeing their dream house take shape, as the walls and siding go up. But the deadlines are tighter than ever, and Geno is falling further behind. The house is still without doors, forcing Geno to spend his nights at the site on guard duty. And trying to save money by hiring subcontractors backfires when Geno discovers he's got substandard concrete floors. Friends are pitching in to help, but even that leads to a scary moment when a finger gets mangled in a power saw. Silene keeps Geno in check by insisting they hire professionals to install the hardwood floors. And contractor Jerry Janeck piles on the pressure with a long to-do list and a countdown timer.
