Plot Synopsis

Gus and Marie-France Grant and their five children -- ages two to 10 -- take on the renovation from hell. It's a top-to-bottom gut job as they transform an 80-year-old, 1-1/2 story home into a four-story luxury house. And to make it more challenging, they choose to live in the house during the whole hot, sticky mess, enduring foundation work, life with no roof, no windows and no sewer. Will they survive a summer of constant disappointments and dangerous conditions? FAMILY RENOVATION premiered in the U.S. on DIY on Thursday, July 15, 2010 at 10pm.
