## Current

After Ivy moved in she had to make her own furniture as she wanted to "go green" and not spend money on expensive furniture. However, after going through a dumpster, Ivy's bed was in a bad state so she couldn't sleep in a bed until the second episode and Ivy slowly managed to get things for her house including a functional bed. In episode 3, Ivy invited her friend Kenai Collins to come and live with her here as they were both struggling financially and mentally with living on their own. Kenai agreed and moved in with his dog King. A couple of hours after Kenai moved in, Ivy's mother came and visited along with the grandmother and seeing Kenai live her, made Ivy's mom ask if they were dating which they were not. Kenai later went to repair the broken shower to help Ivy and for them both to live a slightly easier way than they had before.

In episode 5, the house gets an upgrade. Another shipping container, this time green, is stacked on top of the first one, creating a second floor. In episode 6, Kenai and Ivy slowly managed to upgrade the house again by adding an outdoor area at the front and to add flowers on the outside of the house and they were finally able to afford a toilet to add to the bathroom.

The exterior of the house gets an upgrade with the garden having more grass and flowers added before Ivy and Kenai ran out of money. Ivy and Kenai ended up sleeping in her bed which resulted in her getting pregnant with his baby even though he already had a girlfriend. Kenai's sister Nita visited the house where he planned on asking her for advice on the baby but it didn't go plan.

In episode 10, the house gets another upgrade. Ivy and Kenai build a a knitting room where, Ivy can knit and relax. There is also a spot where, Kenai’s Woodworking bench is, so he can craft in there while Ivy kints. The juice marker was placed outside due to no more space in the room. Kenai and Ivy had to rearrange the house slightly as they now had children and they wanted their kids to sleep in the same bedroom. This led to Ivy and Kenai having to share a bed even though they weren't romantically involved. After Kenai broke things off with Billie, Ivy didn't do much with the yoga area as there weren't enough people to do a class with. However, just before the kids reached childhood, Ivy and Kenai decided to enter an official relationship and became a couple. The twins' birthday birthday was held at the house during the summertime after they spent time with their grandparents at their house.
