Get ready to groove to our latest design jam! Mark Montano has drummed up a design that makes homeowner Janice nervous. She wants to transform the family's unused garage into a room where her husband, Ernie, can learn to play the congas. But can she feel the rhythm?

While Ernie and his daughter receive drum lessons in Memphis, Mark asks Janice to make a choice. She can choose Mark's wild original design, or opt for a more conservative version. Deciding to trust Mark's original vision, Janice goes with his original vision; however, she soon becomes concerned that the design is a bit too wild for her family.

Janice keeps her cool as we line the walls with grass, and she even makes some beautiful pottery with the rest of the crew. But she really freaks out once a humongous wooden mask is erected along one wall. And when the rain begins to pour down, all we can do is twiddle our thumbs and hope that we can get the room finished on time.

Did we go too far, or will Ernie love the wild rhythm room waiting for him at home?
