Moving to the interior of the Dollar House, host and interior designer Nicole Curtis demos her heart out and focuses on the disgusting kitchen space and adding a half bathroom to the first floor, evicting a few pigeons along the way. Once the new space is framed out, everything seems to be falling into place until the water is turned on and Nicole finds out she has some leaky pipes.

Working in St. Paul for the first time, Nicole finds another house in an up and coming neighborhood that needs her attention. Fighting the onset of colder weather, she must first tackle an exterior makeover, figuring out how to clean up the front yard and replace the icky yellow and brown paint job. Inside, she begins the difficult task of cleaning out all the left over junk so the plumbers and electrician can get started.

Nicole takes the dark and dim front entryway and opens it up, removing soffits, repairing original stained glass windows, and hunting for salvaged parts to rebuild the fabulous staircase. She must also find a way to repair the front porch floorboards to keep them from falling off the foundation.
