Ep 9. Bachelor's Paradise

In Home Town season 4 episode 9, titled "Bachelor's Paradise," Ben and Erin Napier are tasked with renovating a house for a young bachelor who loves to entertain and have guests over. The house is located in Laurel, Mississippi and it's a 1950s brick ranch-style home on a large lot with plenty of potential.

The episode starts with Ben and Erin meeting with their client, Robby, who explains his vision for the space: a fun entertaining area in the backyard, a bar, and plenty of room for his friends to hang out. Robby is a single guy who loves to cook, play games, and have people over, but his current home doesn't provide the space and functionality that he needs. He's hoping that with the help of Ben and Erin, his rundown house can be transformed into the ultimate bachelor's paradise.

As they begin the renovation, Ben and Erin work on bringing the home's outdated features up to modern standards. This includes updating the kitchen with a new island and appliances, refinishing the hardwood floors, and giving the living room a fresh coat of paint. They also take on the expansive backyard, building a pergola and a custom bar for Robby to use when entertaining guests.

Throughout the episode, Ben and Erin face a few unexpected challenges. They discover issues with the home's ductwork and have to completely replace the HVAC system. They also run into problems with the backyard's grading, causing a delay in the project's timeline. Despite these setbacks, the couple remains optimistic and works tirelessly to deliver Robby the home of his dreams.

As the renovation nears completion, Robby is invited back to see the finished product. He's blown away by the transformation, especially the backyard, which now includes a custom fire pit, grill, and bar. The interior of the home has been completely updated, with a new fireplace, built-ins, and fresh decor. Overall, Robby is thrilled with the end result and can't wait to start hosting his friends in his brand new bachelor pad.

In typical Home Town fashion, the episode ends with Ben and Erin reflecting on the project and the impact their work has on their clients' lives. They're proud of the work they've done and grateful for the opportunity to bring happiness and functionality to Robby's home. The episode serves as a reminder of the transformative power of home renovation and the importance of making a house feel like a home.
