That means meeting new families and giving them incredible homes they never thought possible.

Ice is definitely excited to see his foreman Albert Miller again. It looks like the feeling is mutual.

And of course, John Schalabach, Ice's host from season one is ready to see what Ice has in store for their Ohio community this season.

So, with the community behind him and a lot of work to do, Ice sets out to tackle some impressive construction projects.

As a licensed contractor, Ice is a valuable asset to the Amish community.

But at the end of the day, there's not much better than a good old fashioned jam session with friends.

Back to Work

But that rest doesn't last long, because up next, Ice gives the Miller family a brand new master bedroom.

All in the Details

Ice adds the finishing touches to the bedroom, hanging a luxe crystal chandelier.

"How Do I Look?"

He takes a quick pause for some comedic relief, modeling a pair of door knobs.

Impressive Master Bathroom

All finished, the master bathroom looks amazing with a luxury tub, walk-in shower and opulent details.

Masterful Bedroom

At the big reveal, the Millers are shocked at the beautiful transformation, which includes a new queen bed, headboard and bamboo floors.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

But it's not all work in Amish country. After a long day, a fun game of baseball in the Amish Community Center is just what the doctor ordered.

Colorful Concessions

And what's more important at a baseball field than a brightly painted concessions stand?

Opening Day

This stand is officially "open" for business!

May I Take Your Order?

Ice serves up snacks at the newly opened concessions stand.

Friendly Surprise

And as if a concessions stand and baseball field weren't enough, Ice even brought in a camel to surprise the kids.

Camel Kisses

Okay, maybe he brought it for himself too ...

Old-School Ride

As a true animal lover, the Amish horse and buggy method was a fun change that Ice really enjoyed.

Striking a Pose

Here, Ice poses with Jeremy Miller as they tour the Miller's property.

Though Ice has a lot of help with each project, he certainly knows his way around a construction site.

Finishing Touches

From raking gravel ...

Cutting Lumber

... to sawing lumber ...

Working Hard

... Ice gives his all to get the job done.

Time to Relax

After a full day of construction, Ice and Albert are ready for a break.

Sit a Spell

Relaxing on the porch seems like the perfect way to unwind and appreciate a long day's work.

Testing ... One, Two, Three

Of course, testing out the newly installed zipline is another fun way to unwind.

Good With the Kids

And with fantastic ideas like backyard ziplines, it's no wonder the kids love him.

Hanging Around

In fact, they love him so much, it's a wonder he gets any work done.
