Brian and Liza are parents of a growing family in the St. Louis Park neighborhood of Minneapolis, and although they love their little rambler house, they're feeling cramped in its two bedrooms and one bathroom. Brad and Heather Fox step in to renovate the family's existing house to make it bigger, but certain restrictions keep them from fully meeting the couple's wish list.
