Ep 7. Treehouse Of Terror

In the seventh episode of Homestead Rescue season six, titled "Treehouse Of Terror," the Raneys travel to Alaska to help a family in desperate need of assistance. The family had recently bought a property in the woods with the goal of building a new homestead, but they soon realized they were in over their heads.

The family had attempted to build a treehouse as their new home, but it quickly became a disaster zone. The structure was not up to code, and the family had no experience in construction or even living off the grid. They were struggling to survive in the harsh Alaskan wilderness, with no running water, no electricity, and no proper sewage system.

The Raneys arrive on site and assess the situation, quickly realizing that the family's treehouse is a disaster waiting to happen. The structure was built without proper foundation or support, and it was perched in a precarious spot at the top of a steep hill. The Raneys get to work immediately, dismantling the treehouse and starting from scratch.

As they begin the construction process, tensions rise among the family members. The parents are constantly bickering, and the teenagers are rebelling against their parents' authority. The Raneys must not only build a livable structure for the family but also bring them together and teach them to work as a team.

As the days pass, the Raneys face one obstacle after another. The weather is unpredictable, and they must constantly adapt to the changing conditions. They must also deal with dangerous wildlife, such as grizzly bears and moose, which pose a constant threat to the family's safety.

Despite the challenges, the Raneys press on and manage to complete the new treehouse. The structure is sturdy and up to code, with running water, a composting toilet, and a wood stove for heat. The family's morale improves significantly, and they finally begin to feel hopeful about their new homesteading life.

In the end, the Raneys reflect on their experience and the impact they had on the family. They feel proud to have helped the family achieve their dream, and they hope that the family will continue to work together and thrive in their new home.
