Bargain MansionsGrowing up on her family's Kansas farm, Tamara Day learned the construction trade by helping her father maintain and repair the property's buildings.

Now she buys and overhauls neglected properties in Kansas City, Mo., for a living, and the process and results are documented in "Bargain Mansions."
