In 2019, Good Bones' Karen Laine announced that she was stepping back from Two Chicks and a Hammer. The reality star revealed in a blog post that she has a lot of hobbies she plans to focus on in her retirement. She wrote that her retirement means she has more time to spend with her husband, Roger, as well as her mom. She also enjoys sailing, fishing, mushroom hunting, kite flying, yoga, camping, hiking, gardening, riding her motorcycle, and attending music festivals.

Even though she's retired from the family business, Karen has no plans of retiring from Good Bones and plans to do even more DIY projects for the show. "I have complete confidence that the company Mina and I founded, based on the novel idea of improving neighborhoods by rehabilitating the worst houses in a neighborhood, one house at a time, has a bright future!" she wrote. "I won't be far, and will likely just be puttering in the yard!"
