Plot Synopsis

RUSTIC RENOVATION is a half-hour reality series that follows builders Chase and Brock Jurgensen, who transform any old lodge into a functional and beautiful home in the wild. Chase heads up the projects while big brother Brock finds creative uses for reclaimed wood in each build. On Tuesday, March 22, 2016 at 11pm ET/PT, DIY Network premiered the pilot episode of the series, then called RUSTIC RENO, but the cable network had no other episodes scheduled at that time. In the pilot Chase and Brock renovated a cabin for hockey agent Ben Hankinson in Brainerd, MN. Sixteen months later, DIY Network debuted the official series premiere of RUSTIC RENOVATION on Tuesday, July 11, 2017 from 10-11pm ET/PT, showing back-to-back new episodes. In the series opener (10pm), "Time Capsule Cabin," Brock and Chase update a fourth-generation family cabin on Lake Charlotte, Minnesota. They give one room a bigger feel with new paint and a custom barnwood-framed window, and a breakfast nook adds a great space for family gatherings. Then, in the night's second new episode (10:30pm), "Nisswa Cabin," when a family's inherited 60-year-old lakeside cabin needs updating and more room for gatherings, brothers Chase and Brock Jurgensen blow out the back wall to take over the huge porch. Now bright with a cozy wraparound view of the lake, the rustic-modern interior features a breakfast bar and touches of branches, barnwood and cables, while outside is a new pergola and handmade barnwood table for fair weather meals.
