Ep 7. More Money, More Pressure

No Demo Reno is the go-to show for anyone looking for a home renovating show that takes the experience to the next level. In this episode, More Money, More Pressure, the hosts take on a more complicated project with higher costs and more complexity.

The episode opens with the host introducing the current project: a home that has been neglected for years and needs a complete overhaul. The team has set aside a higher budget for the project, but with more money comes more pressure to deliver the best results.

The first challenge the team encounters is the home's old and outdated electrical wiring. The team hires an electrical expert to evaluate the situation and advise them on how to proceed. The expert recommends that they replace all the electrical wiring and brings in more crew members to speed up the project. The host emphasizes the importance of safety when it comes to dealing with electrical work.

Next, the team tackles the kitchen area. The kitchen is the heart of the home and it needs to be functional and visually appealing.

However, during the installation process, they encounter gaps and uneven surfaces that could compromise the final result. The hosts decide to bring in a few craftsmen to help them fix the issues and ensure that the project finishes on time.

As the project progresses, the team receives unexpected news from the building inspector that the original plans for the home did not match with the current dimensions. This means the team has to halt the project and wait for the city to approve revised plans that meet the safety codes. The host reminds viewers that even with extra time and money, sometimes complications can arise that are out of the team's control.

Finally, the team moves onto the bathroom remodel. The bathroom has been neglected and outdated for years and requires significant changes. The team decides to install a new showerhead and bathtub, as well as new tiles and fixtures. However, they discover that the plumbing in the bathroom is completely outdated and needs to be replaced. The host reminds viewers that when it comes to renovations, it's important to be flexible and adaptable to changes.

The episode concludes with the team completing the renovation after ups and downs.
