Somewhere beneath the tranquil Kansas prairie, While You Were Out is working feverishly on its most unique room to date. Originally built as a secret nuclear missile silo at the height of the cold war, homeowner Ed and wife, Diana have turned a subterranean reinforced bunker into a home.

Living completely underground, Ed and Diana have been working on this space for 20 years, slowly transforming it from a decaying military relic into a comfy place to live. The task in hand for Nadia Geller and the WYWO crew is to transform the massive "power room", which once held the mighty generators that ran the facility.

While Diana visits her parents' farm, Ed and the team struggle with an enormous design project for the largest room ever attempted on WYWO. And as the winds of fate blow carpentry world over, things take a turn for the worst. By the end of Day 2, the entire project is stopped in its tracks as we're forced to fight a raging wildfire in the fields surrounding the home.

Never before has WYWO dealt with such a major catastrophe. The team is in a race against the clock while battling the most extreme forces of nature. Without any doubt, this is by far the toughest challenge WYWO has ever faced.
