Chip andJoanna Gainesmake a great team — as long as they stick to their designated roles, says Chip.
In an exclusive clip of the new episode ofFixer Upper: Welcome Home(above), streaming on Discovery+ Friday, Chip has to ask his wife to give him a hand screwing in a pair of heavy antique doors — a construction task he usually wouldn’t request of the interior designer.
When things go a little off the rails with an electric screwdriver, he reveals why the pair have always avoided getting involved in the other’s areas of expertise.
“We’ve got very strict rules in our relationship, I do certain things and she does certain things,” Chip, who handles all things construction on their projects, says in an on-camera interview with an unamused Joanna at his side. “And when we work together, things can get very dicey, very quickly.”

Luckily, the couple laughs through the installation process, Chip shouting instructions and Joanna calmly explaining, “I did not come to work for this.”
To which he replies, “I know, but this is ridiculous, babe. Put the screw in the hole.”
Once the doors are successfully installed, he congratulates his wife with a high-five and a “Well done, babe,” but not without jokingly adding, “That could have gone a lot quicker and infinitely more efficient, but I will take it.”
Looking back on the moment of uncharacteristic collaboration he admits, “I actually needed an extra hand, so Jo came in handy and I was very thankful that she was here,” and offers a bashful “Thank you.”

“Our original plan was to launch in cable and follow in a streaming environment, but the most unconventional of years dealt us challenges and opportunities we never could have foreseen,” said Magnolia Network President Allison Page.
Chip and Joanna also shared a statement on the decision, noting, “Our plan has evolved along the way, but our original vision for this network has remained the same.”
