Drew Gets Hands On

Before the brothers could dive into their spaces, they first had to reconfigure the layout of the two houses from their traditional shotgun style, split lengthwise, to a more functional front to back split. Jonathan and Drew flipped to see who would get each side, and Drew won the back of the home.
