Builder Chase Morrill is teaming up with his brother, sister and best friend to save and transform abandoned cabins buried deep in the remote woods of Maine. From historic cottages nearly a century old to camp cabins in need of some major TLC, they'll give these properties the facelift they've needed for decades. You never know what you might find when you go for a walk in the woods.

Ask This Old House solves the steady stream of home improvement problems faced by our viewers - and we make house calls! The series features some familiar faces, including Kevin O'Connor, general contractor Tom Silva, plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey, and landscape contractor Jenn Nawada.

House flippers purchase run down, almost condemned frame houses that have been set for demolition to make way for larger homes. They move the houses to an auction lot where they renovate the houses and sell via auction. Unlike most flipping shows, profits are usually under $10,000 (often WAY under). There is a competition element as the flippers will compete against each other as to which team profits the most. The only prize is bragging rights. Teams are the Snow Sisters, The Lone Wolf, the Young Guns, and Casey & Catrina.

In every half-hour episode, homeowners allow a room in their house to be completely transformed according to the whims of online users, who vote on everything from flooring to fixtures, cabinets to cooktops, and moldings to mantelpieces. When the votes are tallied, it's up to our contractor/host, with a little help from the homeowners, to pull all of the elements together into an amazing room.

Prospective flippers document the trials and hardships of their very first housing renovation projects. Littered with text comments from professional flippers, these newbies do their best to come out on top and turn a profit.
