Saving the Donkey
Dean and Borja decide to close their vacation rentals and give their total focus to a long, hard winter of restorations to the manor. First up is the main floor of their historic Stables building, but both are skeptical of how much they can accomplish.
The Secret Stairway
A tree has been growing through the roof of this gorgeous yet dilapidated English estate, and now Dean and Borja work to make the manor watertight once again. Also, they look to restore crucial stairway access and create a new bathroom and a secret door.
Judge a Book by Its Cover
The pressure is on to convert the stable's hayloft into a palatial apartment, which will create much needed rental income. Now, Dean and Borja look to construct a posh one-bedroom suite, and they'll tackle the entrance foyer and library first.
Spirit in the Stables
To welcome guests for the coming season, Dean and Borja look to spruce up and complete the finishing touches on the servant's cottage facade. Also, paranormal energy is afoot at the estate, and a psychic medium is called upon to set Borja's mind at ease.
Long Cold Shower
The manor's outdoor bathrooms are collapsing, unsafe and need extensive renovation. Now, Dean and Borja plan to transform the rotting facilities into a posh garden spa equipped with an outdoor shower and opulent landscaping.
Bedside Manor
Restoring a 300-year-old hayloft has become a royal pain in the neck, but now, Dean and Borja look to push through to create a divine bedroom and bathroom suite that will be the jewel in the crown for the once dilapidated Stables building.
Courtyard Jester
To turn the scruffy Servants' Courtyard into an event space for their guests, Dean and Borja look to transform an old outbuilding into a bar with a water feature. Also, they need to have it completed in time for a party while the tulips are blooming!
Final Key in the Lock
Dean and Borja race to finish the final space in the stable's hayloft apartment, a stunning kitchen and dining space with a luxurious lounge area. Every detail must be perfect and completed in time to reopen the manor for their guests in the spring.
