1
00:00:01,768 --> 00:00:04,461
Real estate
is a hot commodity.
2
00:00:04,564 --> 00:00:08,810
But around every corner,
danger lurks...
3
00:00:08,913 --> 00:00:10,260
from zombie houses.
4
00:00:12,227 --> 00:00:14,195
These rotting corpses
aren't just ugly...
5
00:00:14,298 --> 00:00:15,920
What happened?
6
00:00:16,024 --> 00:00:16,990
...they're dangerous.
7
00:00:17,094 --> 00:00:17,991
Whoa!
8
00:00:18,095 --> 00:00:19,510
Fire!
Get out of there!
9
00:00:19,614 --> 00:00:22,375
And they can drag down
an entire neighborhood...
10
00:00:22,479 --> 00:00:24,205
It's the ugliest house
on the street.
11
00:00:24,308 --> 00:00:25,758
...but their days are numbered.
12
00:00:28,209 --> 00:00:30,073
Here in Orlando, Florida,
13
00:00:30,176 --> 00:00:32,799
taking on these monstrosities
is our specialty.
14
00:00:32,903 --> 00:00:35,388
It's a wreck, but we don't shy
away from things like that.
15
00:00:35,492 --> 00:00:38,598
Ew.
Our team tracks
these filthy zombies down...
16
00:00:38,702 --> 00:00:39,875
This place
is a total dump,
17
00:00:39,979 --> 00:00:42,395
but at least
this room is huge.
18
00:00:42,499 --> 00:00:44,501
...and pumps new life
into them...
19
00:00:44,604 --> 00:00:45,812
Maybe I got heat stroke,
20
00:00:45,916 --> 00:00:47,193
but I'm falling in love
with this place.
21
00:00:47,297 --> 00:00:48,988
...flipping them
into sweet homes...
22
00:00:49,092 --> 00:00:51,197
- Wow.
- This is amazing.
23
00:00:51,301 --> 00:00:53,337
...that we can sell... We are ready to go.
24
00:00:53,441 --> 00:00:55,167
...for an even
sweeter payday.
25
00:00:55,270 --> 00:00:57,962
Here's to selling
another house.
26
00:00:58,066 --> 00:01:00,103
This...
27
00:01:00,206 --> 00:01:03,002
is "Zombie House Flipping."
28
00:01:03,106 --> 00:01:05,211

00:01:05,315 --> 00:01:06,488

36
00:01:20,364 --> 00:01:21,745
- Are you really?
- I am, dude.
37
00:01:21,848 --> 00:01:23,574
Holden Heights.
- Yeah.
38
00:01:23,678 --> 00:01:24,851
My aunt used
to live out here.
39
00:01:24,955 --> 00:01:25,921
I love this area.
40
00:01:26,025 --> 00:01:27,371
It's a little hidden gem
and I feel like
41
00:01:27,475 --> 00:01:30,374
it's one of the few places
you can still live lakefront
42
00:01:30,478 --> 00:01:32,100
for less than half
a million bucks.

45
00:01:37,657 --> 00:01:39,452
Holden Heights is
about four miles south
46
00:01:39,556 --> 00:01:40,729
of downtown Orlando,
47
00:01:40,833 --> 00:01:43,180
with a population
of about 3,500.
48
00:01:43,284 --> 00:01:45,941
It's always had beautiful parks
and lakefront views,
49
00:01:46,045 --> 00:01:48,012
but it's gotten even better
in recent years
50
00:01:48,116 --> 00:01:51,015
with improved shopping
and dining and entertainment.
51
00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:53,639
And the school district here has
greatly improved, too,
52
00:01:53,742 --> 00:01:55,330
making this a highly
sought-after neighborhood
53
00:01:55,434 --> 00:01:56,400
for young families.
54
00:01:56,504 --> 00:01:57,436
So do we got a deal here,
55
00:01:57,539 --> 00:01:58,851
or are we just going
to grab lunch?
56
00:01:58,954 --> 00:02:01,233
It's that probate deal
we've been working on
57
00:02:01,336 --> 00:02:02,613
and it just came through.
58
00:02:02,717 --> 00:02:04,615
The judge signed off
on it.
59
00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:06,893
The judge took forever
to push this one through.
60
00:02:06,997 --> 00:02:08,205
It was supposed to be
like 45 days
61
00:02:08,309 --> 00:02:09,310
and it wound up being
like 90.
62
00:02:09,413 --> 00:02:10,414
Yeah.
63
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:12,968
I mean, that can
happen, though, man.
64
00:02:13,072 --> 00:02:14,349
Probate can have
a lot more steps in it
65
00:02:14,453 --> 00:02:16,386
than people tend
to believe.
66
00:02:16,489 --> 00:02:17,387
- Yeah.
- Especially if there's like
67
00:02:17,490 --> 00:02:18,974
multiple heirs
on the estate.
68
00:02:19,078 --> 00:02:20,424
Everybody's approved.
69
00:02:20,528 --> 00:02:22,288
Everybody's got
to stamp off on it.
70
00:02:22,392 --> 00:02:24,497
Which is why not everybody
71
00:02:24,601 --> 00:02:27,328
can specialize in buying
probate, like we do.
72
00:02:27,431 --> 00:02:29,916
Houses in probate are a matter
of public record
73
00:02:30,020 --> 00:02:31,815
and any buyer can find them,
74
00:02:31,918 --> 00:02:33,851
but it can take months,
or even years,
75
00:02:33,955 --> 00:02:35,957
for the courts to settle
rightful ownership.
76
00:02:36,060 --> 00:02:38,615
Sometimes it requires
determining who the heirs are
77
00:02:38,718 --> 00:02:40,168
and tracking them all down
78
00:02:40,272 --> 00:02:42,377
and most buyers aren't willing
to wait that long,
79
00:02:42,481 --> 00:02:45,242
just to find a house that could
be in really bad shape.
80
00:02:45,346 --> 00:02:48,072
But these zombies are often
being unloaded at a discount,
81
00:02:48,176 --> 00:02:50,558
so, for flippers like us,
patience can pay off.
82
00:02:51,904 --> 00:02:53,146
Hey, here it is.
Here it is.
83
00:02:53,250 --> 00:02:54,493
- We ready?
- Yeah, man.
84
00:02:59,981 --> 00:03:01,776
Wow!
85
00:03:01,879 --> 00:03:03,260
It is ugly.
86
00:03:03,364 --> 00:03:05,573
Do you know the specs
on this house?
87
00:03:05,676 --> 00:03:08,645
It's a concrete block
house built in 1960.
88
00:03:08,748 --> 00:03:10,612
Almost 1,700 square feet.
89
00:03:10,716 --> 00:03:11,924
It's got three bedrooms,
90
00:03:12,027 --> 00:03:12,856
two bathrooms,
91
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:14,616
and a decent-sized
living room,
92
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,446
plus a large,
screened-in back porch
93
00:03:16,549 --> 00:03:18,033
and even a pool.
94
00:03:18,137 --> 00:03:20,173
And get this--
the heirs are only asking
95
00:03:20,277 --> 00:03:21,796
for $300,000,
96
00:03:21,899 --> 00:03:24,592
which is amazing
for this neighborhood.
97
00:03:24,695 --> 00:03:28,009
Dude, this is like
an overwhelming palm tree.
98
00:03:28,112 --> 00:03:30,598
Sort of robellini
that's gone just crazy?
99
00:03:30,701 --> 00:03:32,772
It's probably got
100 raccoons stuffed
100
00:03:32,876 --> 00:03:33,877
up in there,
I'll tell you that.
101
00:03:33,980 --> 00:03:35,499
Big old one
on that corner, too.
102
00:03:35,603 --> 00:03:37,087
- Yeah.
- Problem is, is that one's
103
00:03:37,190 --> 00:03:38,191
scraping the roof line
104
00:03:38,295 --> 00:03:39,917
and, every time
an inspector comes,
105
00:03:40,021 --> 00:03:41,402
anything even touches
the house,
106
00:03:41,505 --> 00:03:43,127
they're like,
"Don't do that!"
107
00:03:43,231 --> 00:03:45,026
Yeah, because if there's
any kind of high wind,
108
00:03:45,129 --> 00:03:47,925
those branches could do
serious damage to the roof.
109
00:03:48,029 --> 00:03:49,064
Well, let's take a look
over here
110
00:03:49,168 --> 00:03:49,962
and see what we got.
111
00:03:50,065 --> 00:03:51,929
Alright.
So we got a front door
112
00:03:52,033 --> 00:03:53,206
through the carport.
113
00:03:53,310 --> 00:03:55,312
Oh, bro,
we got two front doors?
114
00:03:55,416 --> 00:03:56,727
Is this a duplex,
do you know?
115
00:03:56,831 --> 00:03:58,142
I don't think so, bro,
because there's
116
00:03:58,246 --> 00:04:00,662
only one power meter,
one mailbox,
117
00:04:00,766 --> 00:04:03,078
but two identical
front doors.
118
00:04:03,182 --> 00:04:03,769
Okay.
119
00:04:06,944 --> 00:04:08,291
Hello!
120
00:04:11,466 --> 00:04:13,434
Um, what color is this?
121
00:04:13,537 --> 00:04:14,849
Uh...
122
00:04:14,952 --> 00:04:16,506
coral pink?
123
00:04:16,609 --> 00:04:17,369
Pepto-Bismol?
124
00:04:17,472 --> 00:04:18,611
No, this is like
125
00:04:18,715 --> 00:04:21,096
dusty old-lady pink
or something.
126
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,478
Is this real terrazzo?
127
00:04:23,582 --> 00:04:24,893
Yeah!
Except it has
128
00:04:24,997 --> 00:04:26,757
little brown spots all
over it.
129
00:04:26,861 --> 00:04:28,449
Yeah, but you can
diamond-shine that out.
130
00:04:28,552 --> 00:04:32,763
Finding decent-looking terrazzo
under the carpet is a big plus.
131
00:04:32,867 --> 00:04:35,835
Buyers love a vintage vibe
and not having to replace
132
00:04:35,939 --> 00:04:38,355
all these floors
is great for our budget.
133
00:04:38,459 --> 00:04:40,046
These are like
newer windows.
134
00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:41,324
- Yeah.
- We can keep these windows.
135
00:04:41,427 --> 00:04:44,637
Yeah, probably. Let's go
check out the kitchen.
136
00:04:44,741 --> 00:04:47,157
Bro, this kitchen slaps!
137
00:04:47,260 --> 00:04:48,400
These are
solid wood cabinets.
138
00:04:48,503 --> 00:04:49,746
- Yes!
- We should keep these.
139
00:04:49,849 --> 00:04:51,264
I don't know.
I feel like
140
00:04:51,368 --> 00:04:52,611
you walk into a kitchen
like this,
141
00:04:52,714 --> 00:04:53,750
you kind of need like
142
00:04:53,853 --> 00:04:55,855
a ten-gallon hat, chaps,
143
00:04:55,959 --> 00:04:57,719
and six-shooters, you know?
- What?
144
00:04:57,823 --> 00:04:59,272
People want mid-century,
145
00:04:59,376 --> 00:05:00,826
but you still want
modern convenience
146
00:05:00,929 --> 00:05:02,828
and these drawers
are not soft-close.
147
00:05:04,208 --> 00:05:05,589
But if we save 20 grand
in the kitchen
148
00:05:05,693 --> 00:05:06,935
because we don't have
to put cabinets in,
149
00:05:07,039 --> 00:05:08,799
we just replace
these countertops...
- Well.
150
00:05:08,903 --> 00:05:11,181
...swap out
the backsplash.
151
00:05:11,284 --> 00:05:12,838
I don't think
Keith really appreciates
152
00:05:12,941 --> 00:05:14,426
what we're finding here.
153
00:05:14,529 --> 00:05:17,221
This zombie has a lot
of great stuff in place.
154
00:05:17,325 --> 00:05:19,983
Between the floors, windows,
and cabinets,
155
00:05:20,086 --> 00:05:21,225
it's like we're halfway home
156
00:05:21,329 --> 00:05:22,917
and we haven't even
started renovating.
157
00:05:24,125 --> 00:05:25,816
This carpet is everywhere.
158
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,266
I feel like the carpet's
coming up to my knees,
159
00:05:27,370 --> 00:05:28,405
it's so thick.
160
00:05:28,509 --> 00:05:29,820
Here's the first bathroom.
161
00:05:29,924 --> 00:05:32,927
It's outdated, but it's
not the worst, right?
162
00:05:33,030 --> 00:05:34,687
Like this is
really good tile.
163
00:05:34,791 --> 00:05:37,000
- Yeah.
- But if we spray this
164
00:05:37,103 --> 00:05:38,381
and put some
cool floor tile in,
165
00:05:38,484 --> 00:05:40,866
a new vanity,
that might work.
166
00:05:40,969 --> 00:05:43,731
Yeah. Or, if we could
chip up this tile
167
00:05:43,834 --> 00:05:44,732
and the terrazzo,
168
00:05:44,835 --> 00:05:47,597
have like a barrier.
169
00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:48,839
Yeah!
- Maybe.
170
00:05:48,943 --> 00:05:50,427
Because who doesn't
love terrazzo?
171
00:05:50,531 --> 00:05:51,394
I'm saying.
172
00:05:51,497 --> 00:05:52,429
Alright,
let's go take a look
173
00:05:52,533 --> 00:05:53,292
at the bedrooms.
174
00:05:53,396 --> 00:05:54,880
Master bed.
175
00:05:54,983 --> 00:05:57,814
It's a decent-size room,
plenty of natural light,
176
00:05:57,917 --> 00:05:59,229
and it's got
two closets.
177
00:05:59,332 --> 00:06:00,126
Okay, cool.
178
00:06:00,230 --> 00:06:02,232
And that's the master
179
00:06:02,335 --> 00:06:04,510
ah!
- Ooh! That toilet looks like--
180
00:06:04,614 --> 00:06:06,754
- Ugh!
- Gross.
181
00:06:06,857 --> 00:06:08,445
Alright, this is tiny.
182
00:06:08,549 --> 00:06:09,412
- Dude.
- It's not the tiniest
183
00:06:09,515 --> 00:06:10,827
we've ever had,
but it's tiny.
184
00:06:10,930 --> 00:06:12,760
- Yeah.
- This tile needs to go.
185
00:06:12,863 --> 00:06:14,727
- Yeah.
- We can save the hall bath,
186
00:06:14,831 --> 00:06:16,729
but this, we'll probably
have to completely
187
00:06:16,833 --> 00:06:18,006
redo this bathroom.
- Yeah.
188
00:06:18,110 --> 00:06:19,767
While we can get away
with a simple reglaze
189
00:06:19,870 --> 00:06:21,562
and refresh in that hall bath,
190
00:06:21,665 --> 00:06:24,047
the master bath is going
to need a full update,
191
00:06:24,150 --> 00:06:25,842
in order to appeal to buyers.
192
00:06:25,945 --> 00:06:27,499
Let's check out
the other rooms.
193
00:06:27,602 --> 00:06:29,432
This is a huge
second bedroom.
194
00:06:29,535 --> 00:06:32,296
Ah, doesn't look like
it needs much work.
195
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,092
This mid-century zombie
is starting to win me over.
196
00:06:35,196 --> 00:06:37,819
The majority of the repairs
seem to be cosmetic,
197
00:06:37,923 --> 00:06:40,788
which is kind of rare
for a house of this age.
198
00:06:40,891 --> 00:06:43,204
On to the next room.
199
00:06:43,307 --> 00:06:44,377
Third bedroom.
200
00:06:44,481 --> 00:06:47,173
Uh-oh, water leak.
201
00:06:47,277 --> 00:06:48,865
That's not a good sign.
202
00:06:48,968 --> 00:06:52,006
And, just like that,
my love affair with this house,
203
00:06:52,109 --> 00:06:53,421
it's all wet.
204
00:06:53,525 --> 00:06:55,319
A hole like this
pretty much guarantees
205
00:06:55,423 --> 00:06:57,011
we're going to have
to replace the roof.
206
00:06:57,114 --> 00:07:00,083
Now, this house could easily
be 15 to 20 grand.
207
00:07:00,186 --> 00:07:02,223
Hey, let's go check out
the back of the house.
208
00:07:02,326 --> 00:07:04,674
Well, we know where
the other front door goes.
209
00:07:04,777 --> 00:07:06,227
It goes
to the same house.
210
00:07:06,330 --> 00:07:07,193
Alright,
so what was this,
211
00:07:07,297 --> 00:07:08,850
like a breezeway, originally?
212
00:07:08,954 --> 00:07:10,990
These look like
exterior walls,
213
00:07:11,094 --> 00:07:12,371
but I don't know.
214
00:07:12,475 --> 00:07:14,235
I don't know, either.
There's not an A.C. drop
215
00:07:14,338 --> 00:07:15,857
in here, though,
216
00:07:15,961 --> 00:07:17,790
but there's a wall unit
right here.
217
00:07:17,894 --> 00:07:19,620
Yeah,
so this is a laundry,
218
00:07:19,723 --> 00:07:21,069
but if we can figure out
how to add this,
219
00:07:21,173 --> 00:07:22,933
as far
as square footage,
220
00:07:23,037 --> 00:07:24,970
that would be
super useful, right?
221
00:07:25,073 --> 00:07:27,973
Yeah. Alright, well,
we've seen the house.
222
00:07:28,076 --> 00:07:29,422
Should we go check out
the backyard?
223
00:07:29,526 --> 00:07:30,665
Yeah.
224
00:07:30,769 --> 00:07:32,909
Looks like we got
a fully screened-in porch.
225
00:07:33,012 --> 00:07:34,289
The screens are
all here.
226
00:07:34,393 --> 00:07:36,740
I mean,
it needs some degatoring.
227
00:07:36,844 --> 00:07:39,812
Got your outdoor bar,
you got your beer fridge.
228
00:07:39,916 --> 00:07:41,745
Hey, look, this is like
cabinet-grade wood.
229
00:07:41,849 --> 00:07:43,436
This is really nice.
230
00:07:43,540 --> 00:07:44,299
Not too shabby.
231
00:07:44,403 --> 00:07:45,300
Not at all.
232
00:07:45,404 --> 00:07:47,130
Let's go check out
this backyard.
233
00:07:47,233 --> 00:07:48,994
Yeah.
234
00:07:49,097 --> 00:07:50,064
Dude, you know
what this is?
235
00:07:50,167 --> 00:07:51,237
This is like a liner pool.
236
00:07:51,341 --> 00:07:52,756
It has like a rubber liner
237
00:07:52,860 --> 00:07:53,895
- Uh-huh.
- inside the shell.
238
00:07:53,999 --> 00:07:56,139
- Yeah, yeah.
- You never see these in Florida.
239
00:07:56,242 --> 00:07:57,485
If it holds water
and it doesn't have
240
00:07:57,589 --> 00:07:58,693
a tear in the liner,
then who cares?
241
00:07:58,797 --> 00:07:59,901
Yeah.
242
00:08:00,005 --> 00:08:01,731
This pool might only be
marginally better
243
00:08:01,834 --> 00:08:03,249
than an aboveground pool,
244
00:08:03,353 --> 00:08:06,459
but, at the end of the day,
it's still a pool.
245
00:08:06,563 --> 00:08:08,358
And a house with a pool
in Orlando
246
00:08:08,461 --> 00:08:11,395
sells better than any house
without a pool.
247
00:08:11,499 --> 00:08:14,157
Hey, look, there's a tiki bar
and a sundeck over here.
248
00:08:14,260 --> 00:08:16,400
The hose pipes in so that
the sink works.
249
00:08:16,504 --> 00:08:17,643
That's brilliant, dude.
250
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:19,472
There's actually
supply lines here.
251
00:08:19,576 --> 00:08:20,922
Dude,
this is a functioning
252
00:08:21,026 --> 00:08:22,165
wet bar by the pool.
253
00:08:22,268 --> 00:08:23,235
It's pretty cool.
254
00:08:23,338 --> 00:08:24,857
You think we could like
rehab this
255
00:08:24,961 --> 00:08:26,825
and make it kind of
a cute, little feature?
256
00:08:26,928 --> 00:08:28,378
Absolutely.
This has potential.
257
00:08:28,481 --> 00:08:29,793
Let's see what's
going on over here.
258
00:08:29,897 --> 00:08:31,208
Alright.
259
00:08:31,312 --> 00:08:33,072
I did not.
260
00:08:33,176 --> 00:08:34,487
There you go.
We should probably keep
261
00:08:34,591 --> 00:08:36,489
the deck, too, huh?
Let's go.
262
00:08:36,593 --> 00:08:38,457
Ow!
263
00:08:38,561 --> 00:08:39,389
Yeah, bro.
264
00:08:39,492 --> 00:08:40,804
All this has got to go
in the trash.
265
00:08:40,908 --> 00:08:42,288
Well,
what if we rebuild it?
266
00:08:42,392 --> 00:08:44,014
Like what if we just
get rid of the bad wood
267
00:08:44,118 --> 00:08:45,360
and put good wood in?
268
00:08:45,464 --> 00:08:47,293
I mean, don't you want
a deck for a pool?
269
00:08:47,397 --> 00:08:48,985
Yeah,
I always want a deck.
270
00:08:49,088 --> 00:08:51,815
This backyard is
an entertainer's paradise.
271
00:08:51,919 --> 00:08:54,507
Not only is there a pool,
but the bar and the deck
272
00:08:54,611 --> 00:08:57,165
could be turned
into a tropical-vibe hangout
273
00:08:57,269 --> 00:08:59,133
or even your own
mini nightclub.
274
00:08:59,236 --> 00:09:00,893
Not to mention
the covered patio,
275
00:09:00,997 --> 00:09:02,688
that has another bar.
276
00:09:02,792 --> 00:09:04,172
And there's still plenty
of yard space,
277
00:09:04,276 --> 00:09:06,692
especially when we get rid
of the old shed back there.
278
00:09:06,796 --> 00:09:09,592
This area is going to be
the hook that snags buyers.
279
00:09:09,695 --> 00:09:11,904
Alright, bro, so,
what's the game plan?
280
00:09:12,008 --> 00:09:13,250
I like this.
I mean,
281
00:09:13,354 --> 00:09:16,012
we got a concrete block
house, three, two.
282
00:09:16,115 --> 00:09:17,254
It's a good size.
283
00:09:17,358 --> 00:09:18,773
There's a room that's not
air-conditioned
284
00:09:18,877 --> 00:09:20,085
over there, that we
can air-condition
285
00:09:20,188 --> 00:09:21,086
and add square footage.
286
00:09:21,189 --> 00:09:22,881
- Yeah.
- For $300,000,
287
00:09:22,984 --> 00:09:24,434
there's still plenty
of opportunity here.
288
00:09:24,537 --> 00:09:26,712
I mean, this is why we go
through probate, dude,
289
00:09:26,816 --> 00:09:28,162
because we couldn't score
290
00:09:28,265 --> 00:09:29,888
something like this, otherwise.
- For sure.
291
00:09:29,991 --> 00:09:31,234
If this wasn't
off-market, dude,
292
00:09:31,337 --> 00:09:33,408
this could be
$375,000, easily.
293
00:09:33,512 --> 00:09:35,203
Yeah, well,
but here's the thing,
294
00:09:35,307 --> 00:09:37,343
is it easily also needs
295
00:09:37,447 --> 00:09:38,621
$60,000, you know?
-$70,000, yeah, for sure,
296
00:09:38,724 --> 00:09:39,518
for sure.
- So.
297
00:09:39,622 --> 00:09:40,553
No, I like it, dude.
298
00:09:40,657 --> 00:09:42,348
In this market,
prices are crazy.
299
00:09:42,452 --> 00:09:44,247
It could be worth
$500,000.
300
00:09:44,350 --> 00:09:45,282
- Yeah.
- Alright, let's go--
301
00:09:45,386 --> 00:09:46,490
let's go get it
written up.
302
00:09:46,594 --> 00:09:47,664
I don't want
to let this sit.
303
00:09:47,768 --> 00:09:49,390
- No, let's get it done.
- Alright.
304
00:09:51,495 --> 00:09:54,947
We offered the asking price
of 300 grand for this property
305
00:09:55,051 --> 00:09:56,880
and our offer was accepted.
306
00:09:56,984 --> 00:09:59,918
We're going to set our
renovation budget at 70 grand
307
00:10:00,021 --> 00:10:02,230
and we're going to try to do
this flip in one month,
308
00:10:02,334 --> 00:10:06,372
which would cost us about $8,700
in loan payments and points.
309
00:10:06,476 --> 00:10:09,582
When we sell, closing costs
should hit around $22,500,
310
00:10:09,686 --> 00:10:13,138
which puts our all-in cost
just over 400 grand.
311
00:10:13,241 --> 00:10:15,796
But, if we can sell
at the $500,000 mark,
312
00:10:15,899 --> 00:10:17,729
that would net us
a great profit
313
00:10:17,832 --> 00:10:20,145
of nearly 99 grand.
314
00:10:20,248 --> 00:10:21,318
The main thing we want to do
315
00:10:21,422 --> 00:10:23,148
to this house is add
to the square footage
316
00:10:23,251 --> 00:10:25,184
by capturing
some disconnected space.
317
00:10:27,014 --> 00:10:28,740
We'll start with that breezeway
in the middle
318
00:10:28,843 --> 00:10:30,914
and its hodgepodge
of useless doors.
319
00:10:31,018 --> 00:10:33,503
We'll close off that
unnecessary second front door
320
00:10:33,606 --> 00:10:35,574
and we're going to add
a pantry to the kitchen,
321
00:10:35,678 --> 00:10:36,886
then remove the double doors
322
00:10:36,989 --> 00:10:38,784
separating that space
from the living room,
323
00:10:38,888 --> 00:10:40,027
creating a smooth flow
324
00:10:40,130 --> 00:10:42,098
into the common area
of the house.
325
00:10:42,201 --> 00:10:44,479
Next, we'll knock down the wall
between the laundry room
326
00:10:44,583 --> 00:10:45,895
and the outdoor closet
327
00:10:45,998 --> 00:10:49,657
and create a larger,
more versatile interior space.
328
00:10:49,761 --> 00:10:52,487
We'll complete this open floor
plan by taking out the walls
329
00:10:52,591 --> 00:10:54,627
separating the kitchen
from the living room,
330
00:10:54,731 --> 00:10:56,595
keeping a peninsula on one side
331
00:10:56,699 --> 00:10:59,805
that'll preserve the cabinet
and counter space.
332
00:10:59,909 --> 00:11:03,464
Finally, we'll fix up that
backyard into a proper party pad
333
00:11:03,567 --> 00:11:04,499
by cleaning up the pool
334
00:11:04,603 --> 00:11:06,398
and installing new pavers
around it,
335
00:11:06,501 --> 00:11:08,780
then putting sturdy new boards
on the sundeck.
336
00:11:08,883 --> 00:11:10,264
And the tiki bar?
337
00:11:10,367 --> 00:11:13,094
We'll find a way to dress it up
while keeping that low-key vibe.
338
00:11:19,031 --> 00:11:19,929
Demo day.
339
00:11:20,032 --> 00:11:22,241
- Traveling wrecking balls.
- I know.
340
00:11:22,345 --> 00:11:25,210
Our demo team arrives to help us
kick things into high gear.
341
00:12:00,901 --> 00:12:04,663
which saves us both labor
and disposal fees.
342
00:12:04,767 --> 00:12:07,977
This backyard is now ready
for its tropical makeover.
343
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,151
But not all the work here
is pure destruction.
344
00:12:10,255 --> 00:12:12,775
So, I grabbed the drill
because we can start
345
00:12:12,878 --> 00:12:14,949
taking the cabinets down...
346
00:12:15,053 --> 00:12:16,019
- Yeah.
- ...pulling them off,
347
00:12:16,123 --> 00:12:17,780
and setting them
out for pickup.
348
00:12:17,883 --> 00:12:20,092
Keith convinced me that we
should replace these cabinets
349
00:12:20,196 --> 00:12:22,025
with something more modern.
350
00:12:23,164 --> 00:12:24,407
But, since they're
in great shape,
351
00:12:24,510 --> 00:12:25,822
we're going to take them
down carefully,
352
00:12:25,926 --> 00:12:27,272
so we can either sell them,
353
00:12:27,375 --> 00:12:29,619
donate them,
or reuse them later.
354
00:12:29,722 --> 00:12:31,828
But the biggest job is
opening up those walls
355
00:12:31,932 --> 00:12:33,519
between the kitchen
and the living area...
356
00:12:39,456 --> 00:12:41,148
...to give this house
the connected flow
357
00:12:41,251 --> 00:12:43,012
that people are craving,
these days.
358
00:12:48,983 --> 00:12:50,536
And, for the grand finale,
we're toppling
359
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,987
the janky cinder block wall next
to the carport
360
00:12:53,091 --> 00:12:54,471
that was definitely
not built to code.
361
00:12:56,577 --> 00:12:57,198
Azhoh!
362
00:13:00,961 --> 00:13:03,411
Whoo!
363
00:13:11,764 --> 00:13:14,595
So, we have a serious
problem on our hands.
364
00:13:16,286 --> 00:13:18,530
The central problem
of this house is
365
00:13:18,633 --> 00:13:21,188
that this wall--
the wall that was here
366
00:13:21,291 --> 00:13:23,362
- Mm-hmm.
- and is not anymore--
367
00:13:23,466 --> 00:13:24,467
was structural.
368
00:13:24,570 --> 00:13:26,607
- Aw, I hate when that happens.
- Yeah.
369
00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:29,299
So we took a wall out
and then Bill,
370
00:13:29,403 --> 00:13:31,439
our master trim carpenter,
called and said,
371
00:13:31,543 --> 00:13:33,200
"Hey, wait a minute.
372
00:13:33,303 --> 00:13:34,304
That's structural.
373
00:13:34,408 --> 00:13:35,167
You can't do that."
374
00:13:35,271 --> 00:13:36,444
We want to have an open plan.
375
00:13:36,548 --> 00:13:37,756
I mean, that's fundamentally
376
00:13:37,860 --> 00:13:40,034
the contemporary design
aesthetic, is open.
377
00:13:40,138 --> 00:13:42,312
We just chased it
a little too hard.
378
00:13:42,416 --> 00:13:45,937
If we need a wall here,
our open kitchen plan is a bust.
379
00:13:51,597 --> 00:13:52,426
What would we have to do
380
00:13:52,529 --> 00:13:53,668
to keep
the layout we want?
381
00:13:53,772 --> 00:13:54,566
Right here, we're going
to have to put a post,
382
00:13:54,669 --> 00:13:55,843
like a 4x6.
383
00:13:55,947 --> 00:13:57,776
Header's going to rest
on these two posts...
384
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,640
- Uh-huh.
- ...but it means that we have
385
00:13:59,743 --> 00:14:02,401
more construction to do
than we thought.
386
00:14:02,505 --> 00:14:04,231
And it also means we have
to have a post
387
00:14:04,334 --> 00:14:05,335
in the kitchen.
388
00:14:05,439 --> 00:14:07,682
Which is going
to look really clunky.
389
00:14:07,786 --> 00:14:10,168
My dream for this place
was to walk in
390
00:14:10,271 --> 00:14:12,411
and just see a wide open vista.
391
00:14:12,515 --> 00:14:15,104
Now, we're going to see
a wide open vista
392
00:14:15,207 --> 00:14:16,519
with a stick in the middle.
393
00:14:16,622 --> 00:14:18,831
I mean, this house is supposed
to be a party pad
394
00:14:18,935 --> 00:14:20,419
and this is cramping our style.
395
00:14:22,249 --> 00:14:24,665
We're having bar height--
or, no, counter-height
396
00:14:24,768 --> 00:14:26,598
- Counter-height, yeah.
- granite, right?
397
00:15:14,059 --> 00:15:15,785
We need the column pretty much
398
00:15:15,888 --> 00:15:17,476
right into our
kitchen countertops,
399
00:15:17,580 --> 00:15:18,788
to support the roof.
400
00:15:18,891 --> 00:15:21,446
I'm disappointed,
but, at the end of the day,
401
00:15:21,549 --> 00:15:24,069
it's still going to be a radical
improvement over what we had.
402
00:15:24,173 --> 00:15:27,417
I guess it'll work, if--
It seems like there's
403
00:15:27,521 --> 00:15:29,385
supposed to be a post
404
00:15:29,488 --> 00:15:30,351
- Alright.
- in the kitchen.
405
00:15:36,564 --> 00:15:38,083
While the kitchen
may have some issues,
406
00:15:38,187 --> 00:15:40,016
things are full steam ahead
in the bathrooms.
407
00:15:42,605 --> 00:15:44,331
We're refreshing the tile
in the hall bath
408
00:15:44,434 --> 00:15:46,678
by patching up some
of the cracks,
409
00:15:46,781 --> 00:15:49,439
buffing out years
of dirty buildup,
410
00:15:49,543 --> 00:15:50,820
and then reglazing it,
411
00:15:50,923 --> 00:15:53,374
turning that old-school brown
into a shiny, new white.
412
00:15:58,897 --> 00:16:01,520
Meanwhile, in the master bath,
we line the enclosure
413
00:16:01,624 --> 00:16:03,453
with waterproof cement
backer boards.
414
00:16:04,903 --> 00:16:06,456
Now, we can add tile.
415
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,493
The back wall
gets large white hex...
416
00:16:10,529 --> 00:16:12,393
...and the sides get a deep,
multi-hued,
417
00:16:12,497 --> 00:16:13,739
green rectangular tile.
418
00:16:16,570 --> 00:16:18,641
For the base,
it's a small white hex...
419
00:16:20,988 --> 00:16:22,748
...completing a sharp,
contemporary look.
420
00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:35,175
Hello! Anybody home?
421
00:16:35,278 --> 00:16:37,832
- Hey! Hey, Steve.
- Hey, Keith. How are you?
422
00:16:37,936 --> 00:16:39,765
Justin and I are
at the Bradley flip today
423
00:16:39,869 --> 00:16:42,182
to meet Steve,
our air-conditioning guru.
424
00:16:42,285 --> 00:16:45,116
We got two big rooms that
we don't have air-conditioned
425
00:16:45,219 --> 00:16:46,634
and there's no easy way to do it
426
00:16:46,738 --> 00:16:48,671
because this house
doesn't have an attic.
427
00:16:48,774 --> 00:16:51,191
We have this big
air-conditioning trunk line
428
00:16:51,294 --> 00:16:52,813
running through,
with the different drops
429
00:16:52,916 --> 00:16:55,643
coming off of it
and the issue we have is
430
00:16:55,747 --> 00:16:58,129
that we want to air-condition
those two rooms.
431
00:16:58,232 --> 00:16:59,578
So, you have this room here
432
00:16:59,682 --> 00:17:02,374
and the laundry room
in the back has a window shaker,
433
00:17:02,478 --> 00:17:04,687
but that's not good enough
because we want to capture that
434
00:17:04,790 --> 00:17:06,068
for heated and cooled
435
00:17:06,171 --> 00:17:07,172
- Sure.
- square footage.
436
00:17:07,276 --> 00:17:10,002
How do we get air-conditioning
from here
437
00:17:10,106 --> 00:17:11,314
all the way down there
438
00:17:11,418 --> 00:17:12,936
without blowing up
the whole house?
439
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,318
We should be able
to tunnel some ducts
440
00:17:15,422 --> 00:17:18,321
from this main trunk line
through the rafter space,
441
00:17:18,425 --> 00:17:20,979
into these
other two rooms.
442
00:17:21,083 --> 00:17:23,050
- The duct will fit
in that space?
- Correct.
443
00:17:23,154 --> 00:17:24,776
Steve is saying
that the A.C. duct
444
00:17:24,879 --> 00:17:26,260
can be run in that narrow space
445
00:17:26,364 --> 00:17:28,055
between the roof
and the ceiling,
446
00:17:28,159 --> 00:17:30,920
right alongside the rafters,
which should be amazing.
447
00:17:31,023 --> 00:17:33,992
That may require us
opening a little gap,
448
00:18:05,196 --> 00:18:06,714
which should save us some money.
449
00:18:06,818 --> 00:18:08,716
I'm going to figure out
what exact date
450
00:18:08,820 --> 00:18:10,546
and time we're on
for next week.
451
00:18:10,649 --> 00:18:11,857
We might be able to
two birds,
452
00:18:11,961 --> 00:18:13,342
one stone this.
- Absolutely, yeah.
453
00:18:13,445 --> 00:18:15,861
Once again, the folks
at Century A/C come through
454
00:18:15,965 --> 00:18:17,691
with a great solution
to a problem.
455
00:18:17,794 --> 00:18:19,279
- Right.
- Thank you.
456
00:18:19,382 --> 00:18:21,039
Take care. Sure. Cool.
457
00:18:28,460 --> 00:18:30,290
Today, our family room
and laundry room
458
00:18:30,393 --> 00:18:32,119
are getting new flooring.
459
00:18:32,223 --> 00:18:36,330
We've chosen a wood plank tile
in an ash-gray hue.
460
00:18:36,434 --> 00:18:39,022
It's a stylish, modern twist
on the classic look
461
00:18:39,126 --> 00:18:41,439
and it's a perfect complement
to the existing terrazzo.
462
00:18:49,447 --> 00:18:50,931
Now, we're going to work
on our kitchen...
463
00:18:54,072 --> 00:18:56,488
...starting with framing out
the new pantry...
464
00:18:58,007 --> 00:18:59,422
...and then framing out
the new wall
465
00:18:59,526 --> 00:19:02,322
on the dining room side,
that'll redefine this space.
466
00:19:04,531 --> 00:19:07,258
Once that's done, our crew
demos the old drywall...
467
00:19:10,709 --> 00:19:12,608
...so our plumber
can install new lines,
468
00:19:12,711 --> 00:19:14,161
based on our adjusted layout.
469
00:20:11,356 --> 00:20:12,184
It's a bit of a mess.
470
00:20:20,469 --> 00:20:21,608
to build this wall out
471
00:20:21,711 --> 00:20:23,195
to run the plumbing
inside the wall.
472
00:20:23,299 --> 00:20:24,576
We're actually shortening
this dimension
a little bit, too.
473
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,337
We're losing a few inches
on that wall
474
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,200
and then who knows how
we're going to--
475
00:20:28,304 --> 00:20:29,409
where our cabinets
are going to end?
476
00:20:29,512 --> 00:20:31,376
I mean, they could go further
than the post.
477
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:32,860
That's going
to look so crazy.
478
00:20:32,964 --> 00:20:34,793
Uh...
479
00:20:34,897 --> 00:20:36,174
Keith and I have just
been blowing
480
00:20:36,278 --> 00:20:38,383
through this renovation,
getting everything geared up.
481
00:20:38,487 --> 00:20:40,316
We're trying to get
this thing done quick.
482
00:20:40,420 --> 00:20:42,525
But when we do things like that,
something always falls
483
00:20:42,629 --> 00:20:43,906
through the cracks, so,
of course,
484
00:20:44,009 --> 00:20:46,253
we didn't get Ashlee
the correct measurements.
485
00:20:46,357 --> 00:20:47,806
Now, we're cleaning up
that mess.
486
00:20:47,910 --> 00:20:50,188
The layout
is pretty similar.
487
00:20:50,292 --> 00:20:51,293
I mean, we have--
488
00:20:51,396 --> 00:20:55,607
over here, we have
the fridge where it was,
489
00:20:55,711 --> 00:20:58,576
the sink goes under the
window, like it was.
490
00:20:58,679 --> 00:21:00,888
We have a lazy Susan
in the corner.
491
00:21:00,992 --> 00:21:02,027
Yeah, but I think
the measurements
492
00:21:02,131 --> 00:21:04,029
are going to be
way off here.
493
00:21:04,133 --> 00:21:05,065
Well, here's
the cool part.
494
00:21:05,168 --> 00:21:06,515
If it turns out
that the cabinets
495
00:21:06,618 --> 00:21:08,965
are two inches too long,
we can just pack this out
496
00:21:09,069 --> 00:21:10,933
with another 2x4
to accommodate it.
497
00:21:11,036 --> 00:21:14,039
Mm-hmm. And, if they're
two inches too short?
498
00:21:15,524 --> 00:21:16,663
Two inches too short,
499
00:21:16,766 --> 00:21:18,043
maybe we can add
some kind of...
500
00:21:18,147 --> 00:21:19,700
...filler panel,
- or what have you. Yeah.
501
00:21:19,804 --> 00:21:21,944
Well, these ideas are
evolving pretty quickly.
502
00:21:22,047 --> 00:21:25,119
We're rapidly evolving
the design of this
503
00:21:25,223 --> 00:21:26,776
to make it as good
as we can.
504
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:27,812
I think it's called rushing.
505
00:21:27,915 --> 00:21:29,710
I prefer the term
rapid evolution.
506
00:21:29,814 --> 00:21:30,884
Just saying.
- Ah, well,
507
00:21:30,987 --> 00:21:33,507
rapid evolution's
costing us money.
- Yeah.
508
00:21:33,611 --> 00:21:35,820
Okay. We'll get things
back on track.
509
00:21:35,923 --> 00:21:38,788
Would you mind redrawing this
kitchen and getting it to Ash?
510
00:21:38,892 --> 00:21:40,272
Yeah. In fact,
I have it somewhere.
511
00:21:40,376 --> 00:21:41,722
I'll get-- I'll make
sure I get it to you.
512
00:21:41,826 --> 00:21:43,241
- Okay, cool.
- Yeah, I just need
the proper measurements.
513
00:21:43,345 --> 00:21:44,932
- Sure.
- We're all on the same page?
514
00:21:45,036 --> 00:21:46,071
- Yeah.
- Let's get it done.
515
00:21:58,118 --> 00:22:00,569
It's time to start the
transformation of his backyard.
516
00:22:03,365 --> 00:22:05,884
We're resurfacing
the elevated poolside deck
517
00:22:05,988 --> 00:22:08,162
with 1-inch-thick
wooden boards,
518
00:22:08,266 --> 00:22:10,337
creating a solid platform
for a grill
519
00:22:10,441 --> 00:22:12,235
or patio furniture
for just hanging out.
520
00:22:15,135 --> 00:22:18,276
The pool area is also getting
a major upgrade.
521
00:22:18,380 --> 00:22:21,590
We've demo'd old brick
to make way for new pavers,
522
00:22:21,693 --> 00:22:23,523
which are both rectangular
and square,
523
00:22:23,626 --> 00:22:26,733
to create a unique,
variable pattern.
524
00:22:26,836 --> 00:22:29,770
A stone cutter shapes the pavers
at the edge of the pool
525
00:22:29,874 --> 00:22:33,671
and the outside edge is locked
in with a frame of concrete.
526
00:22:33,774 --> 00:22:35,949
Then we sweep paver sand
across the surface
527
00:22:36,052 --> 00:22:38,917
to fill in all the cracks
and make it smooth.
528
00:22:39,021 --> 00:22:41,713
This backyard oasis
is shaping up nicely already.
529
00:22:43,577 --> 00:22:45,890
We're at the halfway point
of this one-month flip
530
00:22:45,993 --> 00:22:48,202
and, of our 70 grand
renovation budget,
531
00:22:48,306 --> 00:22:50,688
we've now spent a bit
over $28,000.
532
00:22:50,791 --> 00:22:53,276
That doesn't seem like much,
but the remaining money
533
00:22:53,380 --> 00:22:55,658
still has to cover
some big-ticket items,
534
00:22:55,762 --> 00:22:59,766
such as a new roof, new kitchen,
and new bathrooms.
535
00:22:59,869 --> 00:23:01,561
So, hopefully,
we can work quickly
536
00:23:01,664 --> 00:23:03,494
and efficiently
the rest of the way.
537
00:23:10,846 --> 00:23:12,468
Oh, my God. So much stuff
going on today.
538
00:23:12,572 --> 00:23:14,401
Yeah, this is--
Well, this is how we like
539
00:23:14,505 --> 00:23:15,402
the jobsite, though, right?
- Yeah.
540
00:23:15,506 --> 00:23:16,783
Busy, busy, busy.
541
00:23:16,886 --> 00:23:19,717
Ashlee and I got a call from our
A.C. guys, at Century A/C,
542
00:23:19,820 --> 00:23:22,064
that there's a big problem
with the plan we had
543
00:23:22,167 --> 00:23:24,307
to air-condition the laundry
room and the family room,
544
00:23:24,411 --> 00:23:25,930
so we're coming over
to see what's going on.
545
00:23:26,033 --> 00:23:27,587
I'm Keith.
- Good. Orlando.
546
00:23:27,690 --> 00:23:29,278
- Orlando. Hi, Orlando.
- Orlando, nice to meet you.
547
00:23:29,381 --> 00:23:31,383
- Yeah.
- So what are we looking at?
548
00:23:31,487 --> 00:23:32,764
Are you having trouble
running the ducts
549
00:23:32,868 --> 00:23:33,972
through the rafters?
550
00:23:36,147 --> 00:23:38,356
You mean open up the ceiling
in this other room?
551
00:23:38,460 --> 00:23:40,254
No, we're opening it
from the roof, though.
552
00:23:40,358 --> 00:23:42,222
That's not-- We're supposed
to go in from the top.
553
00:23:42,325 --> 00:23:43,361
We're going
to use the open roof
554
00:23:43,465 --> 00:23:44,673
to get the ductwork run
555
00:23:44,776 --> 00:23:46,778
from here
to where it terminates.
556
00:23:46,882 --> 00:23:48,331
Do you want to go
up on the roof
and look at it?
557
00:23:48,435 --> 00:23:49,401
- Yeah.
- Okay.
558
00:23:49,505 --> 00:23:51,024
Our plan was to go in
through the roof.
559
00:23:51,127 --> 00:23:52,991
We're redoing
the roof right now, so,
560
00:23:53,095 --> 00:23:55,028
with the roof pulled off,
we were going to go
561
00:23:55,131 --> 00:23:57,064
underneath the roof decking
by pulling it up,
562
00:23:57,168 --> 00:23:59,550
running the ducts, and putting
the decking back down.
563
00:23:59,653 --> 00:24:01,241
That should be easier
and cheaper
564
00:24:01,344 --> 00:24:03,243
than cutting through the drywall
and the ceiling,
565
00:24:03,346 --> 00:24:04,934
but Orlando doesn't seem
to agree,
566
00:24:05,038 --> 00:24:06,246
so we're going to check it out.
567
00:24:06,349 --> 00:24:08,420
The A.C. ducts are going
to start here
568
00:24:08,524 --> 00:24:11,631
and we're going
to run those this way
569
00:24:11,734 --> 00:24:13,460
and there'll be two drops.
570
00:24:13,564 --> 00:24:15,358
We need one in the room
and then one
571
00:24:15,462 --> 00:24:16,877
in the laundry room over there.
- Yes, sir.
572
00:24:19,328 --> 00:24:20,260
Ah.
573
00:24:20,363 --> 00:24:22,538
Alright,
I see the problem now.
574
00:24:22,642 --> 00:24:25,817
This roof deck is made
of boards, instead of plywood.
575
00:24:25,921 --> 00:24:27,854
Now, if the roof boards
are running the same direction
576
00:24:27,957 --> 00:24:29,441
as the deducting
that we want to lay in,
577
00:24:29,545 --> 00:24:31,133
we could just pry up one
or two of the boards,
578
00:24:31,236 --> 00:24:33,342
put the A.C. duct in easily
that way,
579
00:24:33,445 --> 00:24:34,723
and close it right back up.
580
00:24:34,826 --> 00:24:37,829
Unfortunately, the roof decking
is running the wrong way.
581
00:24:37,933 --> 00:24:40,280
It's running perpendicular
to the path we want
582
00:24:40,383 --> 00:24:43,041
and we'd have to pull up
mountains and mountains of roof.
583
00:24:43,145 --> 00:24:44,698
It'd be really hard
to put back down.
584
00:24:44,802 --> 00:24:47,045
This is a way bigger problem
than I thought.
585
00:24:54,743 --> 00:24:56,710
Take the drywall off?
- Yeah.
586
00:24:56,814 --> 00:24:58,988
Yeah.
Okay, we'll do that.
587
00:24:59,092 --> 00:25:01,646
I thought we were going to save
money by going through the roof,
588
00:25:01,750 --> 00:25:02,923
but that's actually turned
out to be
589
00:25:03,027 --> 00:25:04,615
the most expensive way to do it.
590
00:25:04,718 --> 00:25:07,203
So, now, going through the
drywall on the underside,
591
00:25:07,307 --> 00:25:10,275
through the ceiling, is kind of
the best bad idea we got.
592
00:25:10,379 --> 00:25:11,518
How am I going
to get down?
593
00:25:18,214 --> 00:25:19,457
The A/C crew gets busy
594
00:25:19,561 --> 00:25:21,873
cutting access points
in the ceiling below,
595
00:25:21,977 --> 00:25:23,599
then running the ductwork
over the wall
596
00:25:23,703 --> 00:25:25,152
and threading
through the rafters.
597
00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:29,812
Now, we got new,
air-conditioned square footage.
598
00:25:33,022 --> 00:25:34,541
Meanwhile, on the roof,
599
00:25:34,645 --> 00:25:36,232
our team is laying down
peel and stick...
600
00:25:37,406 --> 00:25:38,614
...a kind of roll roofing made
601
00:25:38,718 --> 00:25:41,099
from polyester
and rubberized asphalt,
602
00:25:41,203 --> 00:25:42,584
with a light, granular surface
603
00:25:42,687 --> 00:25:44,724
to reflect sunlight
and keep the house cool.
604
00:25:58,323 --> 00:26:00,394
Alright, so we got
this backyard.
605
00:26:00,498 --> 00:26:01,741
What are we going
to do?
606
00:26:01,844 --> 00:26:04,951
There's debris there
and here from--
607
00:26:05,054 --> 00:26:06,608
so, because we--
we, uh,
608
00:26:06,711 --> 00:26:08,610
put new pavers
on the pool deck.
609
00:26:08,713 --> 00:26:10,991
Today Justin, Ashlee, and I are
at the Bradley House,
610
00:26:11,095 --> 00:26:13,028
checking out the backyard,
the landscaping.
611
00:26:13,131 --> 00:26:16,134
I think this tropical/
party hangout spot,
612
00:26:16,238 --> 00:26:17,411
with its pool and deck,
613
00:26:17,515 --> 00:26:19,724
is exactly what we need
to sell this house,
614
00:26:19,828 --> 00:26:22,140
but we have to complete it
for it to all come together.
615
00:26:22,244 --> 00:26:23,728
What if we reuse
these bricks
616
00:26:23,832 --> 00:26:25,247
in the bar,
as the floor?
617
00:26:25,350 --> 00:26:26,731
Oh, just lay them
in there?
618
00:26:26,835 --> 00:26:27,870
- Yeah.
- Oh, yeah.
619
00:26:27,974 --> 00:26:30,355
What's the floor right now?
- Dirt.
620
00:26:30,459 --> 00:26:31,563
Oh, no,
it has bricks.
621
00:26:31,667 --> 00:26:32,426
It's--
622
00:26:32,530 --> 00:26:33,324
It already has bricks?
623
00:26:33,427 --> 00:26:34,877
Yeah, but it's not--
624
00:26:34,981 --> 00:26:36,292
Well, they're
cement blocks.
625
00:26:36,396 --> 00:26:38,087
Actually, I don't think
we should--
626
00:26:38,191 --> 00:26:39,192
We probably don't want
to raise this floor
627
00:26:39,295 --> 00:26:41,125
up any more.
- No, no, this is good.
628
00:26:41,228 --> 00:26:43,437
Doesn't this have like a cool
Caribbean feel to it? Like a--
629
00:26:43,541 --> 00:26:44,991
- Yeah.
- Like a Caribbean beach bar
kind of thing?
630
00:26:45,094 --> 00:26:46,233
- Yeah,
- If you're your height.
631
00:26:46,337 --> 00:26:48,546
For me, this is uncomfortable.
632
00:26:48,650 --> 00:26:50,168
I think we should
put down rocks here,
633
00:26:50,272 --> 00:26:52,377
so you're not like
standing next to dirt.
634
00:26:52,481 --> 00:26:54,345
Well, we could use--
We can put the bricks there.
635
00:26:54,448 --> 00:26:55,380
- Yeah.
- Yeah, that's a good idea.
636
00:26:55,484 --> 00:26:56,796
- For like a stepdown, I guess.
- Yeah.
637
00:26:56,899 --> 00:26:58,729
- Okay.
- It's probably
the perfect amount.
638
00:26:58,832 --> 00:27:00,385
There's no way
to just raise the roof,
639
00:27:00,489 --> 00:27:01,524
like vault it up?
We could just add
640
00:27:01,628 --> 00:27:03,181
another beam
behind that one there.
641
00:27:03,285 --> 00:27:05,943
Of course. We could take
the scrap cuts
642
00:27:06,046 --> 00:27:07,323
that we're going to have
from this house
643
00:27:07,427 --> 00:27:09,049
and just pile them on top
644
00:27:09,153 --> 00:27:10,741
- Oh.
- and then just drill back in.
645
00:27:10,844 --> 00:27:12,570
We can raise the front of it up
and make it like a lean--
646
00:27:12,674 --> 00:27:13,778
- almost like a lean-to.
- Yeah.
647
00:27:13,882 --> 00:27:15,297
Water runs off the back of it
kind of thing.
648
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:16,643
- Yeah. I think that amazing.
- Cool. That'll be cool.
649
00:27:16,747 --> 00:27:20,371
Between the outdoor deck,
the cool beachside bar,
650
00:27:20,474 --> 00:27:23,270
and having a nice patio area
to put all your stuff,
651
00:27:23,374 --> 00:27:25,410
I think this backyard
is going to have it all.
652
00:27:25,514 --> 00:27:26,895
We should get a name
for the bar.
653
00:27:26,998 --> 00:27:28,275
Should be like--
I don't know.
654
00:27:28,379 --> 00:27:29,276
What should we call it?
655
00:27:29,380 --> 00:27:31,071
We could call it
the Bradley.
656
00:27:31,175 --> 00:27:32,176
That's got
a cool ring to it.
657
00:27:32,279 --> 00:27:34,005
- Oh, the Bradley?
- Oh, yeah, the Bradley.
658
00:27:34,109 --> 00:27:35,455
Alright, we'll keep
thinking about it.
659
00:27:35,558 --> 00:27:39,217
It'll come. Alright.
660
00:27:39,321 --> 00:27:42,117
We're down to our last week
of this one-month flip,
661
00:27:42,220 --> 00:27:45,051
and out of our
70 grand renovation budget,
662
00:27:45,154 --> 00:27:47,156
we've spent over $50,000.
663
00:27:47,260 --> 00:27:49,780
A lot of that money
went to this brand-new roof.
664
00:27:49,883 --> 00:27:53,300
So for the rest of the expensive
items, money's tight.
665
00:27:53,404 --> 00:27:55,855
There's a good chance
that we're going over budget,
666
00:27:55,958 --> 00:27:58,064
but we want to finish
this house quick
667
00:27:58,167 --> 00:28:00,963
and sell it
while the market is still hot.
668
00:28:06,658 --> 00:28:09,006
Our crew in the kitchen's
putting up a second knee wall
669
00:28:09,109 --> 00:28:10,628
which will be the base
of a peninsula
670
00:28:10,732 --> 00:28:12,423
that finishes
outlining the kitchen.
671
00:28:15,150 --> 00:28:18,153
Then it's time to start hanging
drywall throughout the house.
672
00:28:18,256 --> 00:28:19,844
Normally in a one-month flip,
673
00:28:19,948 --> 00:28:21,501
drywall's done
earlier than this.
674
00:28:21,604 --> 00:28:22,985
But if we can
get it finished today,
675
00:28:23,089 --> 00:28:25,194
we might stay on track.
676
00:28:25,298 --> 00:28:27,438
Hopefully, this step
will launch us forward
677
00:28:27,541 --> 00:28:28,957
into the rest of our fixes.
678
00:28:34,445 --> 00:28:36,067
Hey, everybody.
679
00:28:36,171 --> 00:28:39,312
Wait. Why isn't there
a soffit over that ductwork?
680
00:28:39,415 --> 00:28:40,416
Bill!
Hey, Bill.
681
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:41,797
Yeah, Back here.
682
00:28:41,901 --> 00:28:43,454
Drywall should be
finished by now.
683
00:28:43,557 --> 00:28:44,869
They've had enough time,
684
00:28:44,973 --> 00:28:46,388
but they haven't started
the kitchen yet
685
00:28:46,491 --> 00:28:49,080
because the ducting soffit
hasn't been built yet.
686
00:28:49,184 --> 00:28:50,357
I got to find out why.
687
00:28:50,461 --> 00:28:52,532
We don't have the soffit
done in the kitchen.
688
00:28:52,635 --> 00:28:54,430
And the drywall guys
are doing drywall.
689
00:28:54,534 --> 00:28:56,260
We got to get
that hung right now.
690
00:28:56,363 --> 00:28:58,227
Everything else in here
is drywall-ready.
691
00:28:58,331 --> 00:28:59,332
They're gonna put
the drywall up
692
00:28:59,435 --> 00:29:01,472
as soon as you guys
build that soffit.
693
00:29:01,575 --> 00:29:03,474
We're running into
a situation.
694
00:29:03,577 --> 00:29:05,269
You got a 2-inch drop
right here.
695
00:29:05,372 --> 00:29:07,098
You mean that rafter
across the living room
696
00:29:07,202 --> 00:29:10,274
is 2 inches lower
than the ones above the kitchen?
697
00:29:10,377 --> 00:29:11,723
This has to be
furred down.
698
00:29:11,827 --> 00:29:13,587
That or you're gonna have
a funky transition.
699
00:29:13,691 --> 00:29:16,245
So you're saying put
furring strips on the rafters
700
00:29:16,349 --> 00:29:17,799
to hang it down?
701
00:29:17,902 --> 00:29:20,111
Either that or rip 2x4s
to an inch and a half.
702
00:29:20,215 --> 00:29:21,906
Okay.
But if we do that,
703
00:29:22,010 --> 00:29:25,668
then all the lights
have to be redone.
704
00:29:25,772 --> 00:29:27,947
It turns out one of
the main ceiling beams
705
00:29:28,050 --> 00:29:29,845
sits lower than the others.
706
00:29:29,949 --> 00:29:32,330
The straightforward solution
would be to add a piece of wood
707
00:29:32,434 --> 00:29:34,539
to all the higher beams
to make them all even.
708
00:29:34,643 --> 00:29:36,610
But the electrician
already installed
709
00:29:36,714 --> 00:29:38,578
all those lights
for the higher position,
710
00:29:38,681 --> 00:29:40,476
So we'd have to redo
all that work,
711
00:29:40,580 --> 00:29:42,824
and we cannot afford
any more delays.
712
00:29:42,927 --> 00:29:44,101
Oh, man.
713
00:29:52,316 --> 00:29:55,629
and where it meets, it'll--
you know, it's gonna be offset.
714
00:29:55,733 --> 00:29:58,218
But we could put
a piece of small crown
715
00:29:58,322 --> 00:30:00,565
or something
along that line,
716
00:30:00,669 --> 00:30:02,222
and it would be
like a design.
717
00:30:02,326 --> 00:30:04,707
Just some small
crown molding.
718
00:30:04,811 --> 00:30:07,158
You could nail a piece
of flat trim and then...
719
00:30:07,262 --> 00:30:08,228
- Yeah.
- You know what I mean?
720
00:30:08,332 --> 00:30:09,126
Yeah, there you go.
721
00:30:09,229 --> 00:30:11,404
It's easy,
it's inexpensive,
722
00:30:11,507 --> 00:30:13,164
and it saves us
from having to move
723
00:30:13,268 --> 00:30:16,064
every light in this space.
Right?
724
00:30:16,167 --> 00:30:17,341
Alright, let's do that.
725
00:30:17,444 --> 00:30:19,826
Let's get the soffit built,
and then Jose over there
726
00:30:19,930 --> 00:30:21,828
can just go to town
with the drywall.
727
00:30:21,932 --> 00:30:22,898
10-4.
728
00:30:23,002 --> 00:30:23,726
Alright.
That sound good?
729
00:30:23,830 --> 00:30:24,624
Done deal.
730
00:30:24,727 --> 00:30:25,625
When in doubt,
731
00:30:25,728 --> 00:30:27,144
turn the negative
into a positive.
732
00:30:27,247 --> 00:30:28,835
We're gonna take
this uneven ceiling
733
00:30:28,939 --> 00:30:30,699
and turn it into a design flair.
734
00:30:30,802 --> 00:30:32,839
This might keep us on track,
735
00:30:32,943 --> 00:30:34,254
and, honestly,
I think it's gonna
736
00:30:34,358 --> 00:30:35,428
look pretty good, too.
737
00:30:35,531 --> 00:30:36,774
Alright. Take care.
738
00:30:36,878 --> 00:30:38,638
Alright, bud.
739
00:30:47,578 --> 00:30:49,718
We finally got our drywall
up in the kitchen,
740
00:30:49,821 --> 00:30:51,858
which means it's time
to install cabinetry.
741
00:30:54,343 --> 00:30:56,967
We've chosen a set
of white Shaker cabinets.
742
00:30:58,589 --> 00:31:00,832
This style was developed
in the late 1700s
743
00:31:00,936 --> 00:31:02,593
by the Shaker
religious community.
744
00:31:02,696 --> 00:31:07,632
We wanted a simple design
to maintain exceptional quality.
745
00:31:07,736 --> 00:31:10,463
And their creation has remained
popular ever since.
746
00:31:24,511 --> 00:31:25,685
- Hey, Keith.
- Hey, Alynne.
747
00:31:25,788 --> 00:31:27,687
How you doing?
- Good, good.
748
00:31:27,790 --> 00:31:29,551
I asked Alynne to come over
to the Bradley House
749
00:31:29,654 --> 00:31:31,380
to help me sort out
some issues that I'm having
750
00:31:31,484 --> 00:31:33,693
finishing up
the tiki bar in the back.
751
00:31:33,796 --> 00:31:35,833
I really feel like this
is going to be the centerpiece
752
00:31:35,937 --> 00:31:39,009
of this tropical backyard
hangout we're designing.
753
00:31:39,112 --> 00:31:40,493
So we have
this great pool deck,
754
00:31:40,596 --> 00:31:42,184
but now this area
where you stand
755
00:31:42,288 --> 00:31:44,324
in front of the bar,
it's not level,
756
00:31:44,428 --> 00:31:45,601
it's dirt,
it's just messed up.
757
00:31:45,705 --> 00:31:46,671
So what would you do?
758
00:31:46,775 --> 00:31:49,019
From here,
would you step down
759
00:31:49,122 --> 00:31:52,505
to, like, a second level
that's probably this height
760
00:31:52,608 --> 00:31:53,920
for the--
for over here,
761
00:31:54,024 --> 00:31:57,889
or would you try to bring
this height out all the way?
762
00:31:57,993 --> 00:31:59,477
- If I come right down here...
- Yeah.
763
00:31:59,581 --> 00:32:00,789
...at least I can be
at bar height.
764
00:32:00,892 --> 00:32:02,515
Right.
Right here,
I have to be like this.
765
00:32:02,618 --> 00:32:03,585
Yeah, yeah.
Like, bring it--
766
00:32:03,688 --> 00:32:05,828
The lower the better. Yeah.
767
00:32:05,932 --> 00:32:08,072
If you can't lower all of it,
lower what you can.
768
00:32:08,176 --> 00:32:08,762
Okay.
769
00:32:08,866 --> 00:32:09,971
What is this?
770
00:32:10,074 --> 00:32:11,179
What are you doing?
771
00:32:11,282 --> 00:32:14,320
No-- no, don't--
You're breaking my bar.
772
00:32:14,423 --> 00:32:15,390
It's already broken.
773
00:32:15,493 --> 00:32:16,632
No.
It's rotted.
774
00:32:16,736 --> 00:32:19,152
It's weathered.
This has a patina.
775
00:32:19,256 --> 00:32:20,015
I think it's--Keith.
776
00:32:20,119 --> 00:32:21,223
What?
Feel this wood.
777
00:32:21,327 --> 00:32:24,502
Well-- but I like
the shabby chic aesthetic.
778
00:32:24,606 --> 00:32:25,883
I'm thinking whitewash it.
779
00:32:25,987 --> 00:32:27,609
You can't
whitewash that.
780
00:32:27,712 --> 00:32:30,232
Anybody can come up
and just...
781
00:32:30,336 --> 00:32:31,406
Let's not do that, though.
782
00:32:31,509 --> 00:32:32,476
The weathered thing
just doesn't really--
783
00:32:32,579 --> 00:32:33,511
No.
Really?
784
00:32:33,615 --> 00:32:35,341
It--
It doesn't really work.
785
00:32:35,444 --> 00:32:37,308
And I have a feeling
there's probably
786
00:32:37,412 --> 00:32:39,172
a little bit more damage
than this, too.
787
00:32:39,276 --> 00:32:42,279
You should lose the wood
and use corrugated metal
788
00:32:42,382 --> 00:32:44,177
just like the tiki-bar roof.
789
00:32:44,281 --> 00:32:45,730
I think that Keith
was so focused
790
00:32:45,834 --> 00:32:47,525
on his weathered-wood idea
791
00:32:47,629 --> 00:32:49,010
that he overlooked
what was right in front of him.
792
00:32:49,113 --> 00:32:50,632
Corrugated metal is cheap.
793
00:32:50,735 --> 00:32:53,221
It won't rot like wood,
and it fits the rustic look
794
00:32:53,324 --> 00:32:55,223
of this bar.
It's perfect.
795
00:32:55,326 --> 00:32:57,742
That's a great idea!
Corrugated metal it is.
796
00:33:07,959 --> 00:33:09,996
While I'm figuring out
our tiki bar,
797
00:33:10,100 --> 00:33:12,447
our crew is finally getting
some fresh paint on this house.
798
00:33:14,380 --> 00:33:17,245
Sticking with the theme
of a bright and welcoming home,
799
00:33:17,348 --> 00:33:19,419
we're covering the outside
with a white paint...
800
00:33:21,628 --> 00:33:24,528
...and the inside
with even more white paint.
801
00:33:24,631 --> 00:33:26,978
The clean look of white
suggests a new start,
802
00:33:27,082 --> 00:33:29,774
and that's exactly what this old
probate home is getting.
803
00:35:06,077 --> 00:35:07,976
It doesn't look anything
like it did before.
804
00:35:08,079 --> 00:35:09,115
- It's incredible.
- No, not at all.
805
00:35:09,219 --> 00:35:11,048
Look at this.
806
00:35:11,152 --> 00:35:13,395
Wow.
What a transformation.
807
00:35:13,499 --> 00:35:15,294
You know,
when Justin and I rolled up,
808
00:35:15,397 --> 00:35:17,054
these palms were so big,
809
00:35:17,158 --> 00:35:18,642
you couldn't see
the front of the house.
810
00:35:18,745 --> 00:35:19,850
Roof was terrible.
811
00:35:19,953 --> 00:35:22,232
Yeah, the paint color
was like a weird mauve.
812
00:35:22,335 --> 00:35:23,405
It was just--Ugly.
813
00:35:23,509 --> 00:35:25,959
It was so unwelcoming,
right? But now?
814
00:35:31,517 --> 00:35:32,173
When I first got here, it had
absolutely no curb appeal.
815
00:35:32,276 --> 00:35:32,863
- No.
- I was kind of like,
816
00:35:32,966 --> 00:35:34,002
"This place is a dump."
817
00:35:34,105 --> 00:35:36,384
But now it's got
beautiful curb appeal.
818
00:35:36,487 --> 00:35:37,799
It's a place
you want to be.
819
00:35:37,902 --> 00:35:40,146
The palm trees are manicured,
and the change
820
00:35:40,250 --> 00:35:41,975
the pink color makes
to the body of the house,
821
00:35:42,079 --> 00:35:42,907
it's something.
822
00:35:43,011 --> 00:35:44,702
Yeah,
it just feels tropical.
823
00:35:44,806 --> 00:35:46,739
Just looks
so clean and fresh.
824
00:35:46,842 --> 00:35:48,603
I remember the photo
you sent me of the carport,
825
00:35:48,706 --> 00:35:49,776
and it was all
kind of falling in.
826
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,158
- Yeah.
- It's just so bad.
827
00:35:52,262 --> 00:35:54,367
But now
it just looks so good.
828
00:35:54,471 --> 00:35:55,403
Without a doubt.
829
00:35:55,506 --> 00:35:56,542
And do you remember,
I saw in the photo
830
00:35:56,645 --> 00:35:57,681
there were two front doors,
831
00:35:57,784 --> 00:35:59,061
- which was crazy.
- Yeah.
832
00:35:59,165 --> 00:36:01,063
But we sealed off
that second door
833
00:36:01,167 --> 00:36:03,652
to create a normal
and nice-looking entryway.
834
00:36:03,756 --> 00:36:04,791
- Love it.
- You want to go see the inside?
835
00:36:04,895 --> 00:36:05,792
Yeah.
836
00:36:08,174 --> 00:36:10,038
When we bought this house,
837
00:36:10,141 --> 00:36:11,867
the kitchen was closed off
on both sides.
838
00:36:11,971 --> 00:36:12,972
It was so cramped.
839
00:36:13,075 --> 00:36:14,007
And all the walls
840
00:36:14,111 --> 00:36:16,147
were this, like,
dusty old-lady pink.
841
00:36:16,251 --> 00:36:18,219
It was just
really bad color.
842
00:36:18,322 --> 00:36:20,497
And the old carpet
was grungy and torn up.
843
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,430
I mean,
it was an ugly mess.
844
00:36:22,533 --> 00:36:25,364
But now...
845
00:36:25,467 --> 00:36:27,573
- Goodness.
- Whoa!
846
00:36:27,676 --> 00:36:29,920
What a huge transformation.
847
00:36:30,023 --> 00:36:31,404
- This is gorgeous.
- It's so big!
848
00:36:31,508 --> 00:36:32,785
So beautiful.
849
00:36:32,888 --> 00:36:34,131
It's so relaxing
in here, isn't it?
850
00:36:34,235 --> 00:36:35,891
With the light
and all the windows?
851
00:36:35,995 --> 00:36:37,893
Yeah,
everything's brighter.
852
00:36:37,997 --> 00:36:39,964
The terrazzo floors
shined up beautifully,
853
00:36:40,068 --> 00:36:41,794
and this white, to me,
it makes it feel
854
00:36:41,897 --> 00:36:43,278
so spacious and open.
855
00:36:43,382 --> 00:36:44,693
But then, the kitchen
856
00:36:44,797 --> 00:36:46,488
is much more spacious
and open.
857
00:36:46,592 --> 00:36:48,766
The door wasn't even big enough
to get the fridge out.
858
00:36:48,870 --> 00:36:51,355
I don't know how
they got the fridge in.
859
00:36:51,459 --> 00:36:53,081
But now feels incredible.
860
00:36:53,184 --> 00:36:55,256
I love the bar top
and the farm sink.
861
00:36:55,359 --> 00:36:58,293
The backsplash creates
sort of this big panorama.
862
00:36:58,397 --> 00:36:59,536
It's just
really well done.
863
00:36:59,639 --> 00:37:01,020
The cabinets
that were in here
864
00:37:01,123 --> 00:37:02,677
were dated,
but they were
865
00:37:02,780 --> 00:37:04,886
in really,
really good shape. Yeah.
866
00:37:04,989 --> 00:37:06,267
But, I mean, I compare it
to these new cabinets.
867
00:37:06,370 --> 00:37:07,544
- I know.
- It's just--
868
00:37:07,647 --> 00:37:10,029
I love the new look
of the Shaker cabinets in here.
869
00:37:10,132 --> 00:37:13,584
Feels very fresh,
feels very open.
870
00:37:13,688 --> 00:37:15,586
This space is so good
for entertaining.
871
00:37:15,690 --> 00:37:16,794
You could have
a awesome party here.
872
00:37:16,898 --> 00:37:17,830
It's massive.
873
00:37:17,933 --> 00:37:19,797
- It all just came together.
- It did.
874
00:37:19,901 --> 00:37:22,455
Hey, let's check out
the hall bath.
875
00:37:22,559 --> 00:37:24,215
You remember what
was here before.
876
00:37:24,319 --> 00:37:25,493
That rotten peach color.
877
00:37:25,596 --> 00:37:28,392
It was like
a brownie peach.
878
00:37:28,496 --> 00:37:30,221
But the tile
was in such good shape
879
00:37:30,325 --> 00:37:31,913
that spraying it
just made a lot more sense.
880
00:37:32,016 --> 00:37:34,743
And I love the black fixtures
that we used.
881
00:37:34,847 --> 00:37:36,814
The countertops look great.
It all just comes together.
882
00:37:36,918 --> 00:37:39,127
Yeah. Let's go
check out the master.
883
00:37:39,230 --> 00:37:41,750
This was so bland before.
884
00:37:41,854 --> 00:37:44,615
It could've been
almost like a prison cell.
885
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,721
But now this is a place
you want to be.
886
00:37:46,824 --> 00:37:48,274
I know it's a very
peaceful retreat.
887
00:37:48,378 --> 00:37:50,172
I love all the light,
the windows,
888
00:37:50,276 --> 00:37:52,071
the paint color
is really nice.
889
00:37:52,174 --> 00:37:53,624
And I love
the vaulted ceiling
890
00:37:53,728 --> 00:37:55,419
and the new fan fixture.
It looks really nice.
891
00:37:55,523 --> 00:37:56,800
Yeah, yeah, so cool.
892
00:37:56,903 --> 00:37:58,111
Let me show you
the master bath.
893
00:37:58,215 --> 00:38:00,217
This bathroom
needed some help.
894
00:38:00,321 --> 00:38:02,288
This was all blue.
895
00:38:02,392 --> 00:38:03,841
I saw the photos.
896
00:38:03,945 --> 00:38:04,911
It was so nasty.
897
00:38:05,015 --> 00:38:06,568
Yeah, that's not
a good photo to see.
898
00:38:06,672 --> 00:38:09,088
But now
this looks fantastic.
899
00:38:09,191 --> 00:38:11,401
We used green tile
from Daltile
900
00:38:11,504 --> 00:38:12,954
and the white hex
on the back wall
901
00:38:13,057 --> 00:38:14,300
and the little hex
on the bottom.
902
00:38:14,404 --> 00:38:15,301
And the vanity was awful.
903
00:38:15,405 --> 00:38:17,130
Now we got
a white Shaker vanity.
904
00:38:17,234 --> 00:38:19,098
It-- It goes well,
the countertops
905
00:38:19,201 --> 00:38:21,065
Amazing. It matches
the rest of the house.
906
00:38:21,169 --> 00:38:22,895
Just so well finished,
it looks incredible.
907
00:38:22,998 --> 00:38:24,517
Yeah.
It's gonna sell well.
908
00:38:24,621 --> 00:38:26,381
Yeah.
909
00:38:26,485 --> 00:38:28,418
Let's check out
the family room.
910
00:38:28,521 --> 00:38:30,143
Before, there were
just doors everywhere.
911
00:38:30,247 --> 00:38:31,835
This room couldn't be used
for anything.
912
00:38:31,938 --> 00:38:33,112
I mean, it was nuts.
913
00:38:33,215 --> 00:38:34,355
And the worst part was,
914
00:38:34,458 --> 00:38:35,839
there was no air-conditioning
in it.
915
00:38:35,942 --> 00:38:38,117
But now this room
really works.
916
00:38:38,220 --> 00:38:40,153
I mean, a beautiful view
of the backyard.
917
00:38:40,257 --> 00:38:41,638
I love this room.
918
00:38:41,741 --> 00:38:43,329
It just feels like
you're in Palm Springs.
919
00:38:43,433 --> 00:38:44,848
You're looking at out
at the tropical backyard.
920
00:38:44,951 --> 00:38:46,090
I think the floors
look amazing,
921
00:38:46,194 --> 00:38:47,885
and they really tie in well
with the terrazzo.
922
00:38:47,989 --> 00:38:49,024
- It's gorgeous.
- Yeah.
923
00:38:49,128 --> 00:38:50,094
Good room for entertaining.
924
00:38:50,198 --> 00:38:52,027
And then,
the laundry room over here.
925
00:38:52,131 --> 00:38:54,167
This was not
air-conditioned.
926
00:38:54,271 --> 00:38:56,100
Just a really janky
dividing wall
927
00:38:56,204 --> 00:38:58,620
between the front half of it
and the back half,
928
00:38:58,724 --> 00:39:01,243
so we made it all one room,
brought it under air.
929
00:39:01,347 --> 00:39:04,419
It's about 200 square feet.
That's $300 a foot.
930
00:39:04,523 --> 00:39:06,041
That's $60,000.
931
00:39:06,145 --> 00:39:08,181
It's also a huge,
gorgeous laundry room.
932
00:39:08,285 --> 00:39:09,493
Yeah,
there is that, too!
933
00:39:09,597 --> 00:39:11,012
I mean, I wish I had it
in my house.
934
00:39:11,115 --> 00:39:12,772
It's amazing.
It's massive.
935
00:39:12,876 --> 00:39:15,568
And then there was
that covered patio,
936
00:39:15,672 --> 00:39:17,605
which was pretty rundown
when we first saw it.
937
00:39:17,708 --> 00:39:20,539
It had carpet half rolled up
on the floor
938
00:39:20,642 --> 00:39:22,264
and that weird
gator-skin decoration.
939
00:39:22,368 --> 00:39:23,749
Kind of nasty.
940
00:39:23,852 --> 00:39:26,130
But we realized how great
it could be for parties.
941
00:39:26,234 --> 00:39:28,754
And check it out now.
942
00:39:28,857 --> 00:39:29,996
It looks amazing.
943
00:39:30,100 --> 00:39:31,964
What a great place
to have friends over for drinks.
944
00:39:32,067 --> 00:39:34,069
It's a pretty primo
hangout spot.
945
00:39:34,173 --> 00:39:35,588
Speaking of which,
there's one more spot
946
00:39:35,692 --> 00:39:38,557
we have to check out--
the backyard.
947
00:39:38,660 --> 00:39:39,903
I didn't get to see it
at the beginning,
948
00:39:40,006 --> 00:39:42,388
but I saw photos,
and it was so nasty.
949
00:39:42,492 --> 00:39:44,425
The pool was this,
like, grody green,
950
00:39:44,528 --> 00:39:46,703
and the pavers were kind of
all over the place.
951
00:39:46,806 --> 00:39:48,981
That deck
was completely rotten.
952
00:39:49,084 --> 00:39:50,258
Ow!
953
00:39:50,361 --> 00:39:52,053
And the bar
didn't even look like a bar.
954
00:39:52,156 --> 00:39:53,226
It looked like a--
955
00:39:53,330 --> 00:39:56,402
- An old shack?
- Yeah, a lean-to
or something.
956
00:39:56,506 --> 00:39:58,922
But look at this place now.
It's such a tropical oasis.
957
00:39:59,025 --> 00:39:59,992
It's awesome!
958
00:40:00,095 --> 00:40:01,338
The pool is amazing.
959
00:40:01,442 --> 00:40:04,790
Yeah, pavers are new.
The footpath wasn't here.
960
00:40:04,893 --> 00:40:06,585
We recycled the pool deck
961
00:40:06,688 --> 00:40:08,863
into the footpath
around the house.
962
00:40:08,966 --> 00:40:10,174
The deck is gorgeous.
963
00:40:10,278 --> 00:40:11,348
And now, like,
you want to hang out there
964
00:40:11,452 --> 00:40:13,143
and have margaritas,
have a party,
965
00:40:13,246 --> 00:40:14,731
and all your friends
could be here.
966
00:40:14,834 --> 00:40:16,284
- Yeah.
- It's so nice.
967
00:40:16,387 --> 00:40:18,113
Look at the bar now.
I know!
968
00:40:18,217 --> 00:40:19,770
We cleaned it up
really nice.
969
00:40:19,874 --> 00:40:20,978
Added all the shells.
970
00:40:21,082 --> 00:40:22,808
It's got a really nice
vibe about it.
971
00:40:22,911 --> 00:40:24,465
It just feels like
a tropical oasis.
972
00:40:24,568 --> 00:40:25,500
I just love it
back here.
973
00:40:25,604 --> 00:40:26,915
We do it all the time, right?
974
00:40:27,019 --> 00:40:28,399
But when we see
the finished product
975
00:40:28,503 --> 00:40:30,436
compared to
the beginning product,
976
00:40:30,540 --> 00:40:31,506
it's not even.
977
00:40:31,610 --> 00:40:33,404
Honestly, it's--
it's mind-blowing.
978
00:40:33,508 --> 00:40:34,509
Yeah.
When we sell this,
979
00:40:34,613 --> 00:40:35,821
I think we're gonna get
top dollar.
980
00:40:35,924 --> 00:40:37,926
I think so, too.
You ready to list it?
981
00:40:38,030 --> 00:40:38,962
- Yes.
- Okay. Let's do it.
982
00:40:39,065 --> 00:40:41,240
- Go for it.
- Let's do it.
983
00:40:43,622 --> 00:40:45,589
Creating this tropical
oasis in just one month
984
00:40:45,693 --> 00:40:47,764
was a huge challenge,
but in the end,
985
00:40:47,867 --> 00:40:50,352
we weren't the only ones
who loved the finished product.
986
00:40:50,456 --> 00:40:51,871
We soon got a full-price offer
987
00:40:51,975 --> 00:40:53,563
of $500,000.
988
00:40:53,666 --> 00:40:55,323
We bought this house
for $300,000
989
00:40:55,426 --> 00:40:57,359
and ended up spending
just over $76,000
990
00:40:57,463 --> 00:40:58,533
on the renovation.
991
00:40:58,637 --> 00:41:00,708
The loan fees came out
over 8 grand
992
00:41:00,811 --> 00:41:04,815
and the closing costs
hit just as expected at 22,500.
993
00:41:04,919 --> 00:41:08,198
That puts our total investment
at just over $407,000,
994
00:41:08,301 --> 00:41:09,510
which means that this sale price
995
00:41:09,613 --> 00:41:11,546
earns us almost $93,000.
996
00:41:11,650 --> 00:41:13,030
It's a great payday for us
997
00:41:13,134 --> 00:41:14,618
and a great new home
for the buyer.
998
00:41:14,722 --> 00:41:16,137
Everybody wins.
999
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:19,105
Captioning provided by
A+E Networks
1000
00:41:19,209 --> 00:41:20,797
Hey!
1001
00:41:20,900 --> 00:41:22,039
Hey!
1002
00:41:22,143 --> 00:41:22,868
We did it!
1003
00:41:22,971 --> 00:41:24,421
- That's alright.
- I know.
1004
00:41:24,525 --> 00:41:26,043
So, made you
one of these.
1005
00:41:26,147 --> 00:41:27,597
Tasty.
Hold on, hold on.
1006
00:41:27,700 --> 00:41:29,046
You got an umbrella here.
1007
00:41:29,150 --> 00:41:30,427
Wait. You're gonna put
an umbrella in my drink?
1008
00:41:30,531 --> 00:41:32,463
Yes!
It's a celebration.
1009
00:41:32,567 --> 00:41:34,431
This was a very
challenging flip.
1010
00:41:34,535 --> 00:41:35,950
Want to take a seat?
Yeah.
1011
00:41:36,053 --> 00:41:37,365
Chill out? Yeah.
Yeah.
1012
00:41:37,468 --> 00:41:38,849
Ahh!
1013
00:41:38,953 --> 00:41:40,264
This is the best part
of the day, huh?
1014
00:41:41,990 --> 00:41:43,129
When the flip's over
and you don't have to
1015
00:41:43,233 --> 00:41:44,337
do any more work.
1016
00:41:44,441 --> 00:41:46,892
No, you just get to
sit back and enjoy it.
1017
00:41:46,995 --> 00:41:48,790
Mm.
You're not supposed
to slam it, Keith.
1018
00:41:48,894 --> 00:41:49,860
Brain freeze.
