Season 1

Alison puts it all on the line when she jumps into an ambitious personal renovation without the cash to pay for it; her 6,000 square foot office could be the perfect place to call home, or it might be a giant money pit.

Alison is in the thick of her renovation battle and the stakes keep getting higher when her electrical bill doubles and pricing for her fireboxes comes in; she's used to taking risks, but this may be her riskiest project to date.

After 10 months of building, Alison is on a mission to finally have a place of her own in Chicago to call home; the push to the finish isn't easy, however, as she scrambles to find more money and pressures the contractors to complete the job.
