Ep 2. Reno Rescue

Leave It to Bryan season 2 episode 2, titled Reno Rescue, follows Bryan Baeumler as he transforms a run-down home into a stunning masterpiece. The homeowners, Mike and Julie, have purchased a house that needs extensive renovations. The house was built in the 1920s and is full of character, but it's also plagued with problems such as weak foundation, outdated infrastructure, and multiple leaky pipes.

Bryan conducts a thorough inspection of the property before beginning work. He notes that despite the home's charming appearance, much of the structure is in dire need of attention, from a faulty electrical system to poor insulation. Bryan devises a renovation plan that includes updating these systems, as well as upgrading the kitchen, the bathroom, and the basement.

The renovation process begins with a full gut of the first floor. Bryan and his team rip out the old electrical wiring, add new plumbing, and insulate the walls. The kitchen is expanded to make room for a large island, as well as updated appliances and cabinetry. The living room is updated with modern finishes that compliment the original hardwood floors. Bryan adds a cozy fireplace for a charming ambiance, and outfitted it with a built-in TV.

Another critical aspect of the renovation is the basement. The space is transformed into a home theatre, complete with custom-built seating and a large screen. Bryan adds sound insulation to ensure the perfect movie-watching experience for the homeowners.

As the renovation continues, Bryan and his team encounter several surprises, including cracked foundations, rotten wooden stairs, and an ancient fuse box. However, they remain unfazed and work tirelessly to ensure the project stays on schedule. Bryan explains the issues to the homeowners, offering them solutions along the way. He keeps them informed and involved throughout the renovation process.

Bryan brings in a team of skilled professionals to help with specialized areas, such as tile installation and plumbing. He supervises them all throughout the process, making sure everything is up to his standards.

In the end, the homeowners are thrilled with their new home. They appreciate the attention to detail and the functionality added to their once cramped and dated living space. The Reno Rescue episode of Leave It to Bryan season 2 is a testament to Bryan's dedication to his work, and his uncanny ability to make old homes new again.
