Wayne can't relax in his own home. Jennifer, his wife, is a neat freak and freely admits that much of their New Jersey home is designed more for show than practicality. Now he's getting a break. Jennifer contacted While You Were Out to see if we could transform their screened-in back porch into a place this hardworking young policeman could call his own.

Wayne's an outdoors kind of guy. Camping and fishing are his passion, and he badly misses a backyard. He escapes to friend Ryan's log cabin in Pennsylvania when he gets the chance, but Jennifer, a mortgage counselor, would love to create a place where he feels like he's outside, at home.

We secretly enlisted best friend Ryan to spirit Wayne away on a fishing trip for forty-eight hours and keep tabs on him with our videocamera. What will Wayne think when he returns from Pennsylvania? Watch to find out!
