What is 'Why the Heck Did I Buy This House?' all about?

According to HGTV, "Former CBS Survivor winner Kim Wolfe knows a thing or two about thriving in the wild - and now she'll bring that tough tenacity and smart ingenuity to rescue homeowners with major buyer's remorse in her San Antonio hometown. In the new seven-episode series Why the Heck Did I Buy This House?, the designer, home renovator and busy mom of three will use her expert skills to help clients who snapped up their home at first sight but are now stuck in lifeless spaces with dysfunctional layouts, outdated style and overlooked potential. Kim will go all in pouring concrete foundations, nailing roof beams, installing framing and hanging drywall to bring her design vision to life - and will make these families finally fall in love with their reinvented dream home.

In the premiere episode, Kim will meet a couple who bought their house for the large backyard and its lush fruit trees but are left with an odd layout and wasted space that doesn't fit their family. To remedy the chaos, she will set her sights on a complete overhaul, including an expanded kitchen and living area with a direct view of the property's beautiful outdoor space and a spa-like main suite to give the parents a dedicated retreat."
