Episode synopsis
Part of a tight-knit family, Andrew and Megan pooled their resources with Megan's parents and sister and bought a five-bedroom fixer-upper about a year ago. Together, the five of them sanded, scraped and painted ... until Andrew and Megan became parents. Funny how one little baby can take up a whole lot of time. So with 6-month-old Kansas at the center of their attention, Andrew and Megan decided to call on the Monster House team for help in creating a convenient, hassle-free but still fundamentally cool home á la The Jetsons. Remember? With just a push of a button, children were dressed, dinners were made, rugs were vacuumed — all the family's needs were totally taken care of.
