Overview
- My Lottery Dream Home: David’s Happy Ending airs Friday, Dec. 19 at 9 p.m. ET on HGTV as a one-hour special.
- In a preview clip, Bromstad says he began "using substances" and "started to spiral" during the most stressful stretch of the project.
- A massive storm caused flooding and mold that forced the house to be demolished to the studs and the renovation to restart.
- Bromstad paused construction for about a year and took a restorative trip to Norway, including the Reinebringen hike he later linked to sobriety.
- He credits creative work on the home with keeping him going and thanks HGTV for supporting his decision to tell a more candid personal story.
