In addition, it mentioned:

“The season opener will follow Mina, Karen and the team as they revamp a junk-filled duplex, complete with an attic space and a basement, located in the Bates-Hendricks neighborhood.

On August 8, 2023, Starsiak Hawk revealed on her podcast that she is ending the show after this season. Although Karen E Laine resigned from Two Chicks and a Hammer in 2019, she appears on the show to support her daughter.

In addition to expressing how important this show has been to her, Starsiak Hawk also spoke about the many responsibilities she has to handle and how sometimes it gets difficult to manage everything. According to her:

“They’ve seen me get engaged, get married, be a foster parent to my niece, have Jack, go through IVF, have Charlie, and then all just the regular daily struggles. And I think y’all would agree, but you’re hardest and maybe meanest to the people closest to you because it’s safe, so we’ve kind of become family for each other and kind of done that.”
