Meanwhile, Viola Street is falling into disrepair with more and and more homes being boarded up and abandoned. Andy learns about a program where residents fix up abandoned homes to get access to a lottery to live in one of the fixed up homes. So Andy and his family get to work. They learn how to do home repairs and help a neighbor move into a house on Viola Street. And with hard work, dedication and perseverance, Andy's family gets their own castle on Viola Street.
