If the homeowners agree, Alison follows them home and transforms their old kitchen into a showstopper. BUILDING ALASKA follows daring individuals who set out to construct their amazing off-the-grid properties in the Alaskan wilderness, while FAMILY UNDER CONSTRUCTION Hawaii tags along with families who attempt to transform fixer-uppers into tropical dream homes.Videos
