Things never came easy for Harold and his wife, Teresa. But while they've never had much, these childhood sweethearts have what Harold refers to as the "sweet music" of their love. And now, thanks to both state and federal funding, Harold and Teresa can now leave behind their ramshackle rental and purchase their first home together — a newly built modern home.

While Teresa's best friend takes her to Washington, D.C., for a weekend of luxury in a swank hotel, Harold invites the WYWO team into his empty home. It's a big job for designer Nadia Geller, who must create an entire room from nothing. What's worse is that due to high winds, the WYWO truck is denied permission to cross the only bridge to Bayview. But once our carpentry superstars Andrew Dan-Jumbo and Leslie Segrete finally make it to the house, the team works late through the night to pull off this enormous design challenge.

But with small town gossip threatening to ruin our surprise, it's up to our secret shooter to keep Teresa distracted and in the dark before she arrives home.
