Plot Synopsis

EXTREME BUILDS is a one-hour reality series that follows couples as they build new homes under extreme circumstances. Whether they're getting married at the same time or starting with too little money, these couples continue to build their relationships at the same time they're building their new homes. For the series premiere on Saturday, August 9, 2014, A&E aired a two-part debut from 1-3pm ET/PT, which featured Jim & Lissa. Jim decides to build a dream home for his wife, Lissa, who is unhappy living in Sarasota, Florida and wants to move back to Santa Monica, California. After months of delays, Lissa doubts the builders they have hired while Jim defends them, but Lissa's constant changes and stalling with the project adds to their woes. Each subsequent 60-minute episode focuses on a different couple, including: Dan and Gina, who are $130,000 short on cash for their house, but they decide to build a classic mission-style house before they have enough money to finish the project; Mike and Laura, who get engaged and start their build while simultaneously doing their best to merge their families; and many more couples building new homes.
