Ep 10. Deal or No Deal

Leave It to Bryan is a Canadian home renovation and design show that follows the host Bryan Baeumler as he helps homeowners tackle their home improvement projects. Season 1 episode 10, titled Deal or No Deal, sees Bryan working with a couple who have outgrown their small starter home and are looking to upgrade to a bigger, more suited living space.

The episode begins with Bryan meeting the couple, Leanne and Alex, at their current home to get a sense of their needs and wants. Leanne and Alex currently live in a small, two-bedroom house with their young daughter, but they are ready to upgrade to a bigger home with more space. They have found a larger home that they are interested in, but it needs some work and they are unsure if they should make an offer.

Bryan takes Leanne and Alex to see the potential new home. The house has four bedrooms and a spacious backyard, but it needs a lot of work. The kitchen is outdated, the floors need to be replaced, and the bathrooms need to be updated. Despite the work that needs to be done, Leanne and Alex love the potential of the home and are excited about the prospect of making it their own.

Bryan then sits down with Leanne and Alex to do some number crunching. He helps them to determine what the maximum amount they should pay for the new home is, factoring in the cost of the renovations they want to do, as well as the value it will add to the home. This is where the title of the episode, Deal or No Deal, comes in - Bryan is helping the couple decide if they should make an offer on the house, or walk away.

After some discussion, Leanne and Alex decide to make an offer on the house. Bryan goes over the details of the offer with them, making sure that they don't offer too much and that they include any necessary conditions. The offer is accepted, and Leanne and Alex are thrilled.

Over the next few weeks, Bryan works with Leanne and Alex to transform their new home. They decide to knock down a wall to create an open concept living and dining space, replace the floors throughout the house, update the bathrooms, and create a new, modern kitchen. Bryan strategizes with the couple to make sure that they get the most value out of their renovations, while staying within their budget.

As the renovations progress, Leanne and Alex's excitement grows. They love watching their new home take shape, and appreciate the help and guidance that Bryan is providing. Along the way, they encounter some unexpected challenges, such as discovering water damage behind a wall, but Bryan is able to come up with solutions to keep the renovations on track.

In the end, Leanne and Alex's new home is transformed into the perfect space for their growing family. They love the open concept living area, the updated bathrooms, and the modern kitchen. Throughout the episode, Bryan's expertise and guidance is essential to the success of the project. Without him, Leanne and Alex may not have been able to navigate the tricky waters of home renovations and negotiations with the confidence and success that they did.
