Renovation Raiders: Basement Media Room Reno

Homeowner Sara wants to surprise her husband, Michael, with a basement reno because he has sacrificed so much due to her health needs. After breaking her back, Sara needed to find a home without upstairs bedrooms, and moved into a ranch home that fit her needs. But her husband lost his beloved media room and office in the new house, and now has a peach-colored man cave and office area in the basement. With help from Michael's best friend, Jon, Sara gets her husband out of the house for six hours while Amy and her team renovate the basement. They're giving Michael an authentic theater space where he can watch movies and hang out with friends. The team demos the basement, installs a new header to create a bigger basement opening, adds stadium theater seating, soundproofing, decorative columns, carpet, and a new 70 inch TV. In addition, they create a new concession stand/ bar area with a working sink so to make the space perfect for entertaining. But the team runs into trouble right away as they attempt to install the steel header to expand the basement opening, and must consult with a structural engineer. A busy electrical inspector and an uneven ceiling further delay the reno. Spy Michael is able to stall the couple, who are away on a lunch time boating adventure, but when the boat captain becomes angry, the stall must end, leaving Amy wondering whether they'll finish the makeover before the couple comes home.
