Ep 11. Country Couple Seeks Fixer

In this episode of Fixer Upper, entitled "Country Couple Seeks Fixer," Chip and Joanna Gaines meet with a couple, Matt and Samantha Hardy, who are looking for a home in the country. The couple currently lives in a small apartment in town but is ready to make the move to a more spacious and peaceful setting.

Matt and Samantha have a particular set of needs and wants for their home. Matt is a contractor and wants a fixer-upper that he can make his own and work on over time, while Samantha wants a home that is move-in ready. They have a budget of $200,000, but both Chip and Joanna know that finding the right home at the right price will be a challenge.

The couple is looking for a home with four bedrooms and a yard big enough for their three dogs to run around in. They want a home with character, but Samantha is worried that any home with too much character will be too much work. At the same time, Matt wants a home that he can completely transform and make his own.

To begin their search, Chip and Joanna take the couple to a home in the town of Valley Mills. The home is a four-bedroom, two-bath house that has been on the market for a while. It has potential, but it needs a lot of work, and Matt is immediately interested. But Samantha is not sold on the house. She's skeptical about the amount of work that needs to be done and is worried about the potential hidden expenses.

The couple is also shown a house in nearby Crawford. The house is a little above their budget, but it's move-in ready. It has four bedrooms, a large yard, and lots of character. Samantha loves the house, but Matt isn't sold on the idea of buying a move-in ready home. He wants a project that he can put his own stamp on.

Next on their list is a home located in McGregor. The house is a three-bedroom with some character, but it's not move-in ready. The house is in serious need of landscaping, and the interior needs a lot of work, including new floors and some structural work. This house is more in Matt's wheelhouse, but Samantha is still concerned about the amount of work that needs to be done.

Finally, Chip and Joanna take the couple to a house that has been on the market for some time. It's a four-bedroom, two-bath house located in Moody. The couple is immediately drawn to the house, as it has a lot of charm and character. The house also has a large yard, which is perfect for their dogs.

Matt is excited about the potential of the home, and Samantha falls in love with the house's charm. Chip and Joanna show the couple a virtual model of how the house could look with all the potential work completed. Matt is thrilled at the possibilities, and Samantha is happy that the house isn't a complete mess.

After carefully considering their options, Matt and Samantha decide to purchase the home in Moody. They are excited to have a project to sink their teeth into, and they can't wait to turn the house into their dream home. With Chip and Joanna's help, they have found the perfect home in the country, and they're excited to start the next chapter of their lives.
