The property show follows animator Joanna and carpenter Ben, who are building a magnificent American ranch-style house in a gritty part of Glasgow. Like the buildings of the Wild West which inspires them, the couple's house will be made from simple materials with a structural Douglas fir frame and clad entirely in larch with a rustic tin roof. But with a tight budget of £170,000, Joanna and Ben can only afford it if they construct it themselves. The trouble is, they have never built a house before.
