Season 1, Episode 1: Romeo the Wonder Dog

Brent's reputation for being the best in historic restoration lands him a job rebuilding an original column for the front of a 1900's home. What makes this job challenging is that the column has been cut into dozens of pieces. Brent's determination to rebuild the column in the most authentic way possible is a true test of his perseverance and ability. Meanwhile Brent is called to Nance Farm, a living history farm from the 1850s, to save the site's oldest structure, the old barn, from complete collapse. While restoring the barn, Brent discovers that it's actually made up of an even older structure; an original log cabin built by the first settlers in this part of Texas. While driving Brent also stops by an old house he has had his eye on to speak with the owner. The owner takes Brent on a tour of the Willing House, which Brent learns is a "virgin property"... a property that has been untouched across the decades.
