A new series called I Bought A Dump… Now What? dropped on HGTV on 30 April 2022. It introduces three families as they embark on these unvarnished journeys of families tackling their own home renovations. These three families of Richmond are Sean Kilgore and Sam Sutton, the Detroit father-daughter pair Pancho and Kristyn Patterson, and the Birmingham couple, Brandon and Lesleigh Vann Waugh.
The rest of the writing meanwhile is a tell-all about Sam Sutton who bought a train wreck of a house which he took to renovate with her partner Sean in the HGTV show.
Sam Sutton On HGTV’s I Bought A Dump… Now What?
Sam Sutton stars on the show with Sean. Before coming to HGTV, they bought a 50-year-old farmhouse in rural Michigan which they took to the show and left with a renovated home as their new home. They are said to have spent their life savings to buy this abandoned 1860s farmhouse in Richmond.
Sam revealed her and Sean’s involvement with I Bought A Dump… Now What? in an Instagram post in November 2021. She opened up about secretly filming the new show of their house remodel for HGTV in 2019. “Whirlwind” is what she called this whole journey.
This is how it was supposed to be. During the series, cameras track the progress of each renovation revealing at last whether the owners can complete the work or are left out in the cold. And not making this only business, it also along the way delves into the stresses, as well as the rewards, impacting the lives of the real people involved in such an ambitious undertaking.
Anyway, the four-part docuseries already seemed to have made a special appeal to fans of HGTV series like Good Bones and Windy City Rehab.
Sean Kilgore And Sam Sutton’s Relationship
Like other “brave but naive” couples on the show Sam Sutton and Sean Kilgore other than being all business also put their relationship to the test. They let their love and respect only grow as they invest everything to renovate. In fact, they even got engaged in the process. The couple revealed getting engaged on their ‘After Hours Farm’ Instagram @afterhoursfarm (18.4K followers as of 10 May 2022). It was clearly Sam making this announcement from their joint account as it read “Life just keeps getting sweeter with this guy, we’re so happy!”. Then, she joked that they were waiting for Instagram to crash following this breaking news because before this everyone had been assuming that they had married already.
Two years before that, in June 2019, they had started living together. Sam was the one who moved in with Sean. Speaking of when it started, it was the 12th of January in 2014 when they officially commenced going as a couple. And last year as they marked their seven years together they said it felt like five minutes and 100 years at the same time.
Another year later and following their project on I Bought a Dump…Now What?, they started living in their newly renovated 150-year-old farmhouse in rural Michigan.
