The spirited Strawbridge family  get down and dirty to transform the barren husk of a property into a stunning estate in time for their wedding. With money in limited supply, Dick and Angel’s grand vision to build the perfect home and event space is a bold one. They frantically jump from project to project, from installing a heating system to decorating and furnishing every room, to taming the gardens, and raising chickens to name just a few. To make matters more stressful, they have two young children who will be starting school. With Angel’s eye for design and Dick’s craftsmanship, will they be ready to host their own wedding? 

Only 20 Rooms To Go

Dick and Angel Strawbridge transform a chateau into a fairy tale castle, working on 20 rooms that still need fixing; Angel buys a van; lime trees.
