Kathleen contacted us to help surprise her husband, Brian, with a back patio transformation. Kathleen stated that her husband let her purchase the house after she fell in love with the walk-in closet! Brian's favorite place on their property is the outdoor area and she thought he'd enjoy a colorful Moroccan theme.

Enter designer Mayita Dinos. She has designs on the existing futon, and has plans for Andrew and Leslie to work their magic and transform the piece into a Moroccan banquet. There are also plans to create a hexagonal table, a water feature and a swing! In addition, Mayita wants to outline the room border with some colorful plants and flowers. Throw into the equation a couple of hungry pot-bellied pig pets and all may not go as planned!

Kathleen contacted Brian's friend Alan to help pull off the surprise. Brian and his daughter join Alan and his son for a weekend away in Monterey and Santa Cruz. They'll visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium and the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. But will the two exhausted fathers be keen to leave earlier than planned? And will the team finish the surprise in time?
