--> 00:29:04,130 We'll see if that's enough. 696 00:29:04,233 --> 00:29:06,408 In the meantime, we're gonna do everything we can 697 00:29:06,511 --> 00:29:07,927 to keep this flip moving forward. 698 00:29:08,030 --> 00:29:08,997 - Nice meeting you, brother. - Good seeing you, man. 699 00:29:09,100 --> 00:29:10,136 All right. 700 00:29:14,968 --> 00:29:17,108 We have officially gone over-schedule on this flip, 701 00:29:17,212 --> 00:29:19,386 but we're making big progress today in our bathrooms, 702 00:29:19,490 --> 00:29:21,147 where we're installing beautiful tile 703 00:29:21,250 --> 00:29:22,976 from Daltile Design. 704 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:24,909 In the master, we're going for an elegant, 705 00:29:25,013 --> 00:29:28,326 small Forma hex pattern with scattered gray highlights. 706 00:29:31,260 --> 00:29:33,504 On the back wall of the shower, we have a subway tile 707 00:29:33,607 --> 00:29:35,851 with different cool shades of dark gray. 708 00:29:35,955 --> 00:29:37,957 This will go perfectly with what we've chosen 709 00:29:38,060 --> 00:29:39,786 for the sidewalls and niche-- 710 00:29:39,890 --> 00:29:42,893 light gray tiles that have an elongated hexagon shape. 711 00:29:44,653 --> 00:29:46,068 In the upstairs hall bathroom. 712 00:29:46,172 --> 00:29:49,140 We're surrounding the walls of the tub with a gray subway tile. 713 00:29:49,244 --> 00:29:51,833 It's both classic and beautiful. 714 00:29:51,936 --> 00:29:53,524 And this flooring has a hex pattern 715 00:29:53,627 --> 00:29:56,389 that has pops of dark color that are actually deep purple-- 716 00:29:56,492 --> 00:29:57,977 a subtle rock and roll twist 717 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,427 on the vintage black and white standard. 718 00:30:00,531 --> 00:30:02,084 Finally, for the downstairs bathroom, 719 00:30:02,188 --> 00:30:04,121 we chose a dark green subway tile 720 00:30:04,224 --> 00:30:05,570 for the bottom half of the wall 721 00:30:05,674 --> 00:30:08,125 that reflects the lush backyard just outside. 722 00:30:09,436 --> 00:30:11,197 And on the upper part, we have the same 723 00:30:11,300 --> 00:30:14,131 elongated textile that's in the master bath. 724 00:30:14,234 --> 00:30:15,857 When they're all done, this house will have 725 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,963 three distinct baths that are 100% stylish. 726 00:30:29,042 --> 00:30:30,768 We can also finally finish the floors 727 00:30:30,872 --> 00:30:32,114 in the rest of the house. 728 00:30:32,218 --> 00:30:34,634 Using the old hardwood from the front closet 729 00:30:34,737 --> 00:30:37,223 and the new boards, which have acclimated well 730 00:30:37,326 --> 00:30:38,500 after eight days, 731 00:30:38,603 --> 00:30:41,192 we can fill in the gaps throughout the house. 732 00:30:41,296 --> 00:30:42,573 Add a little stain and lacquer, 733 00:30:42,676 --> 00:30:45,093 and we now have a uniform, classic look. 734 00:30:48,751 --> 00:30:50,892 We're also cutting a new exit to the backyard 735 00:30:50,995 --> 00:30:52,928 and installing French doors. 736 00:30:53,032 --> 00:30:56,069 French doors are true throwbacks of the Gulf states 737 00:30:56,173 --> 00:30:59,348 starting with Creole cottages in the 1700s, 738 00:30:59,452 --> 00:31:01,833 because they provide great ventilation 739 00:31:01,937 --> 00:31:04,146 in hot and humid conditions. 740 00:31:05,837 --> 00:31:08,737 And let's not forget Ashlee's barn door idea. 741 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,395 The sliding partition not only solves a problem, 742 00:31:11,498 --> 00:31:14,777 but it offers a fun way to enter our downstairs bathroom. 743 00:31:18,195 --> 00:31:21,094 Finally, now that the house has aired out that bad smell, 744 00:31:21,198 --> 00:31:23,096 we're getting our kitchen into place. 745 00:31:25,581 --> 00:31:28,067 We're bringing in some gorgeous marble countertops 746 00:31:28,170 --> 00:31:30,172 that pair beautifully with the cabinets 747 00:31:30,276 --> 00:31:32,657 and that new farm-style sink. 748 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,247 Then, in goes some state of the art 749 00:31:36,351 --> 00:31:39,043 stainless steel appliances-- the one modern touch 750 00:31:39,147 --> 00:31:41,252 that most vintage buyers still want. 751 00:31:44,462 --> 00:31:47,086 We're already a week and a half over-schedule on this flip, 752 00:31:47,189 --> 00:31:49,881 so it's important that we finish things up fast. 753 00:31:49,985 --> 00:31:52,298 We put aside 100 grand for this renovation, 754 00:31:52,401 --> 00:31:55,301 and we've spent a bit more than 77 grand. 755 00:31:55,404 --> 00:31:57,544 We still have expensive work to do outside, 756 00:31:57,648 --> 00:32:00,927 including the landscaping, fencing, and the pool cleanup, 757 00:32:01,031 --> 00:32:03,654 and that's where we'll use most of the remaining money. 758 00:32:03,757 --> 00:32:05,483 The question is, is how much more money 759 00:32:05,587 --> 00:32:07,382 we will burn on our loan interest 760 00:32:07,485 --> 00:32:09,211 until we can get this place sold. 761 00:32:14,768 --> 00:32:16,253 So, is this landscaping 762 00:32:16,356 --> 00:32:17,737 gonna get cleared up soon, or what? 763 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,014 They
