Around the House with Eric G® Home Improvement Remodeling & DIY

Think construction is a guys-only field? Think again! Licensed Contractor Kayleen McCabe has been swinging hammers and toting tool belts since the ripe age of six years old, when she shadowed her dad's renovation of their Denver home. In 2009 she beat dozens of male competitors for the grand prize on TV's Stud Finder... Her own series! For five seasons, DIY Network's Rescue Renovation showcased Kayleen's skills and wit as she swept in and saved almost a hundred ill-fated home renovations, from an NFL running backs kitchen to a coalmine-turned-man-cave.

Sit back and enjoy, learn and laugh with Kayleen and the Around the House team.
