The team spring into action to help cancer survivor renovate and sell her home in Benoni.
Bernadette recently received a clean bill of health after battling cancer for the past 18 months. The ordeal has left her with a new lease on life and she wants to sell her property.
Bernadette's husband died a few years ago and all of her children are out of the house, she feels like the property is weighing her down.
Henck introduces Bernadette to real estate agent Marika Grove from RE/MAX Randgro and Kevin from Po10tail Property Consulting. Together they walk through the house to see what improvements needs to be made.
The home is in a very good state except for an outside room that used to be a garage. It has been revamped into a room that Bernadette has been using as a tool shed and a bedroom for her dogs.
Kyle from Plantinfo assures her that he will work on the neglected garden.
Henck meets up with interior designer Anthony at Cashbuild and the two of them conceptualize a unconventional fire pit for the property.
Kevin decides to put in a sliding door in the outside room leading out onto the garden. Kyle tells us that the idea with a garden is that it should invite you from inside the house to go outside. He indicates that he has a clever surprise that will certainly catch the eye and entice people to move outside.
Lara tells Bernadette that she wants to turn the outside area into a meditation room where she can relax and be mindful. Lara tells her that she wants to use natural colours for the big furniture pieces and bring colour in by means of cushions and smaller items.
A deck is built and a fire pit created as the focal point for the garden.

The team disagree over whether the fire pit looks good and adds value so Lara is called to give her verdict. Lara likes it but suggests that little stones are scattered around the pit to finish it off.
Bernadette invited her entire family and the are all blown away by the final result.
Bernadette invites her entire family around for the big reveal and they all love the changes.
