Overview
- Jenny Marrs announced the Season 8 renewal in June and production has started with multiple jobs moving through construction.
- The Marrs are converting an airplane hangar into a home for Dave’s brother Matt and his wife Karey, a family project the couple says has increased pressure and heavy physical labor.
- A coffee shop sited in a creek bed will be elevated onto a new foundation and piers after multi-year permitting delays, and the Marrs say they expect to finish that project this year.
- The season will include a time-pressured, 24-hour renovation for a St. Jude patient in Tulsa planned for August, which the couple describe as physically demanding but highly rewarding.
- Fan-favorite carpenter Joe Looney has returned in a limited role and the Marrs have partnered with Aleve’s Project DIY to highlight pain relief and the real physical strain of renovation work, reflecting the show’s mix of family, charity and technical builds.
