1
00:00:02,769 --> 00:00:04,564
Real estate
is a hot commodity.
2
00:00:04,668 --> 00:00:08,775
But around every corner,
danger lurks...
3
00:00:08,879 --> 00:00:10,225
from zombie houses.
4
00:00:12,331 --> 00:00:14,471
These rotting corpses
aren't just ugly...
5
00:00:14,574 --> 00:00:15,955
What happened?
6
00:00:16,059 --> 00:00:17,129
...they're dangerous.
7
00:00:17,232 --> 00:00:18,130
Whoa!
8
00:00:18,233 --> 00:00:19,476
Fire!
Get out of there!
9
00:00:19,579 --> 00:00:22,237
And they can drag down
an entire neighborhood...
10
00:00:22,341 --> 00:00:24,170
It's the ugliest house
on the street.
11
00:00:53,510 --> 00:00:55,098
...for an even
sweeter payday.
12
00:00:55,201 --> 00:00:57,928
Here's to selling
another house.
13
00:00:58,031 --> 00:01:00,033
This...
14
00:01:00,137 --> 00:01:01,621
is "Zombie House Flipping."

Thornton Park has
certainly turned out to be
20
00:01:15,842 --> 00:01:17,948
a really cool neighborhood.
21
00:01:18,051 --> 00:01:19,777
I remember when I first
moved to Orlando,
22
00:01:19,881 --> 00:01:21,054
it was kind of run-down.
23
00:01:21,158 --> 00:01:23,056
It was just kind of
a bunch of old houses.
24
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,782
And now,
I mean, look at it. Oh.
25
00:01:24,886 --> 00:01:26,612
The restaurants
are so cute.
26
00:01:26,715 --> 00:01:27,854
I just love this area.
27
00:02:01,164 --> 00:02:03,304
some challenging
flipping projects.
28
00:02:03,407 --> 00:02:05,237
This house might be
a great side project
29
00:02:05,340 --> 00:02:06,962
that she and I could partner on.
30
00:02:07,066 --> 00:02:09,517
The interesting part
is, the gentrification
31
00:02:09,620 --> 00:02:11,070
isn't through
new construction.
32
00:02:11,174 --> 00:02:15,833
This is almost entirely
all old wood-frame houses
33
00:02:15,937 --> 00:02:17,663
that are actually
well-maintained
34
00:02:17,766 --> 00:02:18,974
and look really nice.
35
00:02:19,078 --> 00:02:21,287
People are actually
rehabbing these old homes
36
00:02:21,391 --> 00:02:23,841
and bringing them back to life
- instead of demo'ing them.
- Yeah.
37
00:02:23,945 --> 00:02:25,049
I heard about this house
we're seeing
38
00:02:25,153 --> 00:02:26,189
from a Realtor friend
39
00:02:26,292 --> 00:02:27,845
who told me it couldn't
pass inspection.
40
00:02:27,949 --> 00:02:30,572
And I thought you'd be the
perfect person to work with me
41
00:02:30,676 --> 00:02:32,264
because
from the pictures I saw,
42
00:02:32,367 --> 00:02:34,266
it might have
some style challenges,
43
00:02:34,369 --> 00:02:36,129
and that's, you know--
That's what you do.
44
00:02:36,233 --> 00:02:38,615
So you're taking me
to a really ugly house
45
00:02:38,718 --> 00:02:40,617
where I'm gonna have
a lot of challenges?
46
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,101
Is that--Wait, wait, wait, wait.
47
00:02:42,205 --> 00:02:43,930
Isn't that what
I always do with you?
48
00:02:44,034 --> 00:02:45,380
One of the challenges
we're gonna have to overcome
49
00:02:45,484 --> 00:02:46,726
is the asking price.
50
00:02:46,830 --> 00:02:50,454
They're asking $425,000,
and this house needs a lot,
51
00:02:50,558 --> 00:02:53,319
and it ain't very big.
It's, like, 1,500 square feet.
52
00:02:53,423 --> 00:02:56,391
Well, the houses that are
done properly in this area,
53
00:02:56,495 --> 00:02:59,049
- they do go in the sixes.
- Yeah.
54
00:02:59,152 --> 00:03:01,327
It's just a matter of what
it takes to get it there.
55
00:03:01,431 --> 00:03:03,329
It should be up here
on the left.
56
00:03:03,433 --> 00:03:04,779
Oh.
57
00:03:04,882 --> 00:03:06,367
Uh...
58
00:03:14,202 --> 00:03:15,893
That's a lot of yellow.
59
00:03:15,997 --> 00:03:17,378
This doesn't even
look like a house.
60
00:03:17,481 --> 00:03:20,208
It looks like
an insurance office.
61
00:03:20,312 --> 00:03:22,279
There's nothing about
that that says residential.
62
00:03:22,383 --> 00:03:24,316
It's just ugly.
63
00:03:24,419 --> 00:03:27,146
I mean, you can kind of see
the 1920s bones here.
64
00:03:27,250 --> 00:03:28,665
You know,
like those flared columns
65
00:03:28,768 --> 00:03:29,976
over there on the corners.
66
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,565
But the rest is just
kind of flat and lifeless.
67
00:03:32,669 --> 00:03:34,705
So what are the specs here?
68
00:03:34,809 --> 00:03:38,364
Well, the official
square footage is 1,426,
69
00:03:38,468 --> 00:03:40,677
which includes two bedrooms,
two bathrooms,
70
00:03:40,780 --> 00:03:42,230
a front living room,
and, you know,
71
00:03:42,334 --> 00:03:44,853
formal dining room.
The kitchen's galley style,
72
00:03:44,957 --> 00:03:46,717
which leads to a courtyard
out back
73
00:03:46,821 --> 00:03:48,823
and
a separate one-car garage.
74
00:03:48,926 --> 00:03:51,204
We're in a historic
- preservation district, right?
- Right.
75
00:03:51,308 --> 00:03:53,310
And if a house
was heavily modified
76
00:03:53,414 --> 00:03:56,624
before the historic preservation
district was installed... Mm-hmm.
77
00:03:56,727 --> 00:03:58,764
...that house is considered nonconforming.
78
00:03:58,867 --> 00:04:01,387
My fear is that
in this district,
79
00:04:01,491 --> 00:04:04,183
they could want
a historic front elevation.
80
00:04:04,287 --> 00:04:06,289
I'm seeing some
major challenges here.
81
00:04:06,392 --> 00:04:08,946
Restoring a historic home
can be a fun challenge
82
00:04:09,050 --> 00:04:10,569
with some rewarding results.
83
00:04:10,672 --> 00:04:12,743
But you don't take on
one of those lightly.
84
00:04:12,847 --> 00:04:14,814
You have to operate
within some tight rules
85
00:04:14,918 --> 00:04:17,161
and get the historic
preservation board's approval
86
00:04:17,265 --> 00:04:18,577
for almost every fix.
87
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,993
It can be time-consuming
and expensive,
88
00:04:21,096 --> 00:04:24,065
so you have to make sure
the project is really worth it.
89
00:04:24,168 --> 00:04:25,549
Let's go in and check
out the inside
90
00:04:25,653 --> 00:04:27,240
and see what kind of challenges
we find in there.
91
00:04:27,344 --> 00:04:29,484
Well, I hope they're not
as challenging as this.
92
00:04:37,216 --> 00:04:38,390
Well, that's not encouraging.
93
00:04:38,493 --> 00:04:39,943
You could barely
get the door open.
94
00:04:40,046 --> 00:04:43,498
Oh, man.
Look at this arch right here.
95
00:04:43,602 --> 00:04:45,431
See this? The wood's peeling.
96
00:04:45,535 --> 00:04:48,054
This is, what, 1920s, right?
- Yeah.
97
00:04:48,158 --> 00:04:51,679
So this is gonna be
wood frame, plaster,
98
00:04:51,782 --> 00:04:54,371
heavy plaster
- on the walls, right?
- Heavy. Yeah.
99
00:04:54,475 --> 00:04:56,304
This was all enclosed.
100
00:04:56,408 --> 00:04:58,927
The front porch,
they closed it in,
101
00:04:59,031 --> 00:05:00,722
but it still has
a very exterior,
102
00:05:00,826 --> 00:05:03,380
almost institutional-type
feel to it.
103
00:05:03,484 --> 00:05:05,313
These columns
would be brick,
104
00:05:05,417 --> 00:05:07,488
but they did some
weird stucco over them. Yeah.
105
00:05:07,591 --> 00:05:08,868
That's what they did back
in the day.
106
00:05:08,972 --> 00:05:10,801
It was
just thick, thick stucco.
107
00:05:10,905 --> 00:05:12,976
Alright. Let's go and check
out the rest of the house
108
00:05:13,079 --> 00:05:14,771
and just see
what we have going on.
109
00:05:14,874 --> 00:05:16,600
Some ugly green paint
in here.
110
00:05:16,704 --> 00:05:18,947
We got a fireplace.
We got oak floors, right?
111
00:05:19,051 --> 00:05:20,328
Mm-hmm.
112
00:05:20,432 --> 00:05:22,503
Look at these casement windows.
I bet these are original.
113
00:05:22,606 --> 00:05:24,125
- Oh, it's painted.
- Yeah, they're
probably painted shut.
114
00:05:24,228 --> 00:05:26,576
- Painted shut.
- I mean, we've got
to really think about this.
115
00:05:26,679 --> 00:05:27,784
Are we gonna blow it out,
116
00:05:27,887 --> 00:05:29,337
or are we gonna try
and restore some of it?
117
00:05:29,441 --> 00:05:30,821
I know. I'm just trying
to get my bearings.
118
00:05:30,925 --> 00:05:34,791
I want to let the whole space
inform my thoughts, you know?
119
00:05:34,894 --> 00:05:37,794
Dining room. That's the thing
about these old houses.
120
00:05:37,897 --> 00:05:39,899
The rooms are really
well-defined.
121
00:05:40,003 --> 00:05:41,142
We're definitely
in the dining room.
122
00:05:41,245 --> 00:05:42,557
That was definitely
the living room.
123
00:05:42,661 --> 00:05:44,283
The way these historic houses
are constructed,
124
00:05:44,387 --> 00:05:46,734
it makes them a little harder
to open up walls, you know?
125
00:05:46,837 --> 00:05:48,632
- Right.
- Because a lot of
the interior walls
126
00:05:48,736 --> 00:05:49,806
are gonna be structural.
127
00:05:49,909 --> 00:05:51,186
- Oh, yeah.
- What do you think that is?
128
00:05:51,290 --> 00:05:52,843
I don't know.
This is one of the things
129
00:05:52,947 --> 00:05:55,052
that I don't like
about the older homes.
130
00:05:55,156 --> 00:05:56,468
Who knows what that is?
131
00:05:56,571 --> 00:05:58,366
- Okay. Oh.
- This is 100 years of history,
132
00:05:58,470 --> 00:06:02,197
which is 100 years
- to do weird stuff.
- Yeah, well...
133
00:06:02,301 --> 00:06:04,959
I know. The kitchen looks like
100 years of misery.
134
00:06:05,062 --> 00:06:06,132
Oh.
Look at this.
135
00:06:06,236 --> 00:06:08,549
That's the biggest soffit
I've ever seen.
136
00:06:08,652 --> 00:06:11,137
It's a tall ceiling.
That's a great selling point,
137
00:06:11,241 --> 00:06:12,932
having the high ceilings,
because you don't get that... Oh. Oh, I thought...
138
00:06:13,036 --> 00:06:14,520
...inside of a lot
of the historic homes.
139
00:06:14,624 --> 00:06:16,073
Yeah. This is a countertop
140
00:06:16,177 --> 00:06:18,110
that's just set
on top of two...
141
00:06:18,213 --> 00:06:19,767
Yeah.
142
00:06:22,597 --> 00:06:24,012
It's gonna
make it easy to demo.
143
00:06:24,116 --> 00:06:25,635
I know. You just...
144
00:06:27,050 --> 00:06:29,466
And...
145
00:06:29,570 --> 00:06:31,606
oh,
that is actually the back
146
00:06:31,710 --> 00:06:33,677
of the fiberglass
shower enclosure.
147
00:06:33,781 --> 00:06:35,576
You could, like, poke your
finger in through here
148
00:06:35,679 --> 00:06:36,922
and be in the shower.
149
00:06:37,025 --> 00:06:38,820
Well, let's go check out
the bathroom, okay?
Alright.
150
00:06:38,924 --> 00:06:41,444
So we know there's
another bathroom over there.
151
00:06:41,547 --> 00:06:44,343
There's got to be a low-quality
shower hiding somewhere here,
152
00:06:44,447 --> 00:06:46,069
but this is
not that bathroom.
153
00:06:46,172 --> 00:06:48,692
Right. That's a baby toilet,
right there. Look at that.
154
00:06:48,796 --> 00:06:50,004
This is like
155
00:06:50,107 --> 00:06:51,833
It is a baby toilet.
156
00:06:51,937 --> 00:06:54,491
It's a baby toilet.
157
00:06:54,595 --> 00:06:56,562
And the two medicine cabinets?
158
00:06:56,666 --> 00:06:58,046
Like--
Oh, yeah.
159
00:06:58,150 --> 00:06:59,669
Yeah, we don't need to do
dueling medicine cabinets. Yeah.
160
00:06:59,772 --> 00:07:01,187
Dueling medicine cabinets, okay.
161
00:07:01,291 --> 00:07:02,844
Alright, so let's go to see
- what else we got over here.
- So...
162
00:07:02,948 --> 00:07:05,019
Okay.
163
00:07:05,122 --> 00:07:06,745
This is the master.
164
00:07:06,848 --> 00:07:08,816
This obviously had to be
two rooms before.
165
00:07:08,919 --> 00:07:10,369
Oh, you mean because of
the giant divider
166
00:07:10,473 --> 00:07:11,784
in the middle of the room
167
00:07:11,888 --> 00:07:14,304
and the room is unusually
- long and-- and narrow?
- Right.
168
00:07:14,407 --> 00:07:16,479
You could throw a football
in here, you know.
169
00:07:16,582 --> 00:07:19,171
Here's the master bath.
Holy crap.
170
00:07:19,274 --> 00:07:21,898
Look at this.
That's a water heater.
171
00:07:22,001 --> 00:07:23,313
That's got to be,
what, a 50-gallon?
172
00:07:23,416 --> 00:07:24,866
Yeah.
8 pounds per gallon.
173
00:07:24,970 --> 00:07:29,319
That's 400 pounds just of water,
plus the water heater itself.
174
00:07:29,422 --> 00:07:31,908
- Mm-hmm.
- That's probably 500 pounds
sitting right there.
175
00:07:32,011 --> 00:07:35,014
And this is not a structured
wall, and that's a 2x4.
176
00:07:35,118 --> 00:07:36,706
That can't be okay.
177
00:07:36,809 --> 00:07:39,467
That's actually really scary
because if that breaks
178
00:07:39,571 --> 00:07:41,814
and somebody's down there,
it's gonna kill them.
179
00:07:41,918 --> 00:07:43,644
Here's the shower we saw
from the kitchen.
180
00:07:43,747 --> 00:07:45,818
We can actually bust
this shower open
181
00:07:45,922 --> 00:07:47,337
and go wall to wall
right here.
182
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,546
We can take this toilet,
and we can move it right here.
183
00:07:49,650 --> 00:07:52,584
And it'll make this
into a proper master en suite.
184
00:07:52,687 --> 00:07:55,794
You know, that's a damn
fine idea you just came up with.
185
00:07:55,897 --> 00:07:57,934
Hey, let's go check out
the backyard. Okay.
186
00:08:00,661 --> 00:08:03,284
Wait,
this is kind of cute.
187
00:08:03,387 --> 00:08:04,837
The space is great.
188
00:08:04,941 --> 00:08:06,943
There's
a pretty good side yard.
189
00:08:07,046 --> 00:08:09,324
The vegetation is
actually really cool.
190
00:08:09,428 --> 00:08:11,292
That garage will need
some fresh paint,
191
00:08:11,395 --> 00:08:13,432
but this is
a pretty decent courtyard.
192
00:08:13,536 --> 00:08:15,158
Yeah.
This is kind of a cool spot
193
00:08:15,261 --> 00:08:16,469
for me
to be able to design.
194
00:08:16,573 --> 00:08:18,471
So we got to figure out
what we're doing here.
195
00:08:18,575 --> 00:08:19,818
I like historic houses,
196
00:08:19,921 --> 00:08:22,510
and this is kind of
an interesting-looking project.
197
00:08:22,614 --> 00:08:25,409
It's not a total restructure-
the-entire-house thing.
198
00:08:25,513 --> 00:08:27,101
Other than the kitchen
and the bathroom,
199
00:08:27,204 --> 00:08:29,621
the interior just needs,
like, a simple refresh,
200
00:08:29,724 --> 00:08:31,899
and we can focus
more energy out here.
201
00:08:32,002 --> 00:08:33,452
What we have on our side
202
00:08:33,556 --> 00:08:35,592
is the fact that it just
fell out of contract
203
00:08:35,696 --> 00:08:37,525
because it failed
a home inspection.
Mm-hmm.
204
00:08:37,629 --> 00:08:40,045
And the Realtor said
that it can't qualify
205
00:08:40,148 --> 00:08:42,254
for conventional financing.
The pool of buyers
206
00:08:42,357 --> 00:08:46,465
went from everybody down
to investors or cash buyers.
207
00:08:46,569 --> 00:08:48,156
- Fantastic.
- So that's on our side.
208
00:08:48,260 --> 00:08:49,261
Yeah.
209
00:08:49,364 --> 00:08:50,538
The seller's agent
informed us
210
00:08:50,642 --> 00:08:52,575
that the electrical system
wasn't up to code
211
00:08:52,678 --> 00:08:54,542
and no bank will make
a conventional loan
212
00:08:54,646 --> 00:08:56,889
for a house
that can't pass inspection.
213
00:09:24,814 --> 00:09:26,885
Like, we can actually make
a pretty good profit on it.
214
00:09:26,988 --> 00:09:29,335
I think that this project
has enough profit
215
00:09:29,439 --> 00:09:30,923
to make it worth your while... Yeah.
216
00:09:31,027 --> 00:09:34,478
...and enough design challenges
for me to have fun with it.
217
00:09:34,582 --> 00:09:35,583
You're gonna--
I'm gonna make money,
218
00:09:35,687 --> 00:09:36,964
and you're gonna have fun.
219
00:09:37,067 --> 00:09:38,931
I'm gonna make money,
too, but... Oh.
220
00:09:39,035 --> 00:09:41,175
Alright, come on.
Let's go-- Let's go see Ashlee.
221
00:09:43,073 --> 00:09:46,698
We negotiated with the sellers
and got them down to $400,000,
222
00:09:46,801 --> 00:09:48,320
which is perfect for us.
223
00:09:48,423 --> 00:09:50,667
Alynne and I will be
exclusive partners on this flip
224
00:09:50,771 --> 00:09:53,601
and try to limit our reno budget
to only 65 grand.
225
00:09:53,705 --> 00:09:55,568
That's because we have
to borrow the full amount
226
00:09:55,672 --> 00:09:58,468
for the purchase and reno
and pay points on the loan,
227
00:09:58,571 --> 00:10:00,953
which will cost 13 grand
just for one month.
228
00:10:01,057 --> 00:10:03,646
We also anticipate Realtor fees
and closing costs
229
00:10:03,749 --> 00:10:06,165
will be about $33,000
when we sell,
230
00:10:06,269 --> 00:10:09,030
which Ashlee will get her
cut of as our agent.
231
00:10:09,134 --> 00:10:12,931
That puts our all-in cost
at just over $511,000.
232
00:10:13,034 --> 00:10:14,864
But with the market
still high right now,
233
00:10:14,967 --> 00:10:17,729
we think we can sell
this house for 600 grand,
234
00:10:17,832 --> 00:10:21,249
which would net us a great
profit of almost $89,000
235
00:10:21,353 --> 00:10:23,562
that Alynne and I
will split 50-50.
236
00:10:23,666 --> 00:10:26,599
We don't want to completely
reconfigure this historic house,
237
00:10:26,703 --> 00:10:28,291
but we do think
that we can reallocate
238
00:10:28,394 --> 00:10:30,914
some of this closet space
for better use.
239
00:10:31,018 --> 00:10:33,986
The first change will be to make
the master shower a proper size
240
00:10:34,090 --> 00:10:37,403
by widening it into the space
that was a kitchen pantry.
241
00:10:37,507 --> 00:10:40,096
We'll also shift the toilet
to the other wall,
242
00:10:40,199 --> 00:10:43,237
creating easier access
to the new shower.
243
00:10:43,340 --> 00:10:46,102
Then to maintain
a proper kitchen pantry,
244
00:10:46,205 --> 00:10:48,414
we'll eliminate
the central hall closet
245
00:10:48,518 --> 00:10:52,246
and create a new cabinet pantry
at the end of the kitchen,
246
00:10:52,349 --> 00:10:55,663
which has the added bonus
of widening that entry.
247
00:10:55,767 --> 00:10:58,597
But the biggest transformation
will be out back.
248
00:10:58,701 --> 00:11:00,219
We're gonna turn
that courtyard
249
00:11:00,323 --> 00:11:04,465
into the ultimate hangout
by adding a large covered deck
250
00:11:04,568 --> 00:11:07,502
and even putting a putting
green beside the house.
251
00:11:07,606 --> 00:11:08,952
It will look great,
252
00:11:09,056 --> 00:11:11,852
assuming we get approval
from the preservation board.
253
00:11:50,580 --> 00:11:52,547
She's the best tool for demo.
254
00:11:57,449 --> 00:11:58,933
Whoo!
255
00:12:00,763 --> 00:12:02,040
Alright, Karen.
256
00:12:04,490 --> 00:12:05,629
Oh.
257
00:12:08,356 --> 00:12:09,392
Ha ha!
258
00:12:09,495 --> 00:12:11,981
And, oh,
an electric connection.
259
00:12:12,084 --> 00:12:16,640
Okay. Let's find the breaker for
the dishwasher and turn it off.
260
00:12:16,744 --> 00:12:19,609
Where is the breaker box
for this? Do we know?
261
00:12:19,712 --> 00:12:23,924
If I was a breaker box
in a 100-year house,
262
00:12:24,027 --> 00:12:26,478
where would I be?
263
00:12:26,581 --> 00:12:28,929
There might not be
an inside box here.
264
00:12:29,032 --> 00:12:30,344
Okay.
265
00:12:33,036 --> 00:12:34,866
Oh, dishwasher.
266
00:12:34,969 --> 00:12:36,039
Oh, you found it. Okay.
267
00:12:36,143 --> 00:12:37,385
Yeah,
but there's no subpanel.
268
00:12:37,489 --> 00:12:39,284
It's just
a main breaker box.
269
00:12:39,387 --> 00:12:42,045
I guess we know why this house
failed that inspection.
270
00:12:42,149 --> 00:12:44,807
We were told the electrical
system wasn't up to code,
271
00:12:44,910 --> 00:12:45,946
and this is why.
272
00:12:46,049 --> 00:12:47,982
Today, houses are required
to have panels
273
00:12:48,086 --> 00:12:49,812
that have
more specific breakers,
274
00:12:49,915 --> 00:12:51,261
and this one only has a few.
275
00:12:51,365 --> 00:12:52,573
If you had a problem,
276
00:12:52,676 --> 00:12:54,126
you'd have to turn off,
like, half your house.
277
00:12:54,230 --> 00:12:56,301
And if we have to rewire
this entire house,
278
00:12:56,404 --> 00:12:58,924
that could cost a lot more
than we anticipated.
279
00:13:04,827 --> 00:13:06,449
There's no subpanel.
It's just a main breaker box.
280
00:13:06,552 --> 00:13:10,211
I guess we know why this house
failed that inspection.
281
00:13:10,315 --> 00:13:11,661
100-year-old house.
282
00:13:11,764 --> 00:13:15,251
100-year-old house.
100-year-old problems.
283
00:13:15,354 --> 00:13:16,562
We need to book
our electricians
284
00:13:16,666 --> 00:13:18,599
to come look
at this house's setup.
285
00:13:18,702 --> 00:13:21,084
Until then, our demo team
gets to work finishing off
286
00:13:21,188 --> 00:13:24,639
that kitchen,
removing every bit of ugliness,
287
00:13:24,743 --> 00:13:28,851
including that giant,
useless soffit.
288
00:13:28,954 --> 00:13:32,406
Then that weird master bathroom
gets stripped of studs.
289
00:13:35,098 --> 00:13:37,549
And all that debris ends up
in the dump, where it belongs,
290
00:13:37,652 --> 00:13:40,241
so we can start fresh
with our historic renovation.
291
00:13:51,528 --> 00:13:52,702
Keith.
Hey, buddy.
292
00:13:52,805 --> 00:13:54,186
Hey. How you doing, man?
293
00:13:54,290 --> 00:13:55,498
Good, good, good.
This is Alynne.
294
00:13:55,601 --> 00:13:56,602
- Alynne. Scott.
- Nice to meet you. Scott.
295
00:13:56,706 --> 00:13:57,983
Hi. Nice to meet you.
296
00:14:41,682 --> 00:14:43,580
A couple of options you have.
You can leave it as is.
297
00:14:43,684 --> 00:14:44,996
You can make modifications
to it,
298
00:14:45,099 --> 00:14:46,618
which you have to get
the board's approval for.
299
00:14:46,721 --> 00:14:49,000
Our first choice would be go
back to the original open porch.
300
00:14:49,103 --> 00:14:51,588
Think about how charming
it would be with a covered porch
301
00:14:51,692 --> 00:14:53,556
right here on--
in a historic district.
302
00:14:53,659 --> 00:14:56,041
It would look so beautiful
- and authentic.
- It...
303
00:14:56,145 --> 00:14:57,249
Yeah, but... But?
304
00:14:57,353 --> 00:14:59,044
...we don't want
to lose 200 square feet.
305
00:14:59,148 --> 00:15:01,046
200 square feet at... Times--
306
00:15:01,150 --> 00:15:02,875
...$300 a square foot.
307
00:15:40,327 --> 00:15:41,569
and they're giving us
a lot of leeway
308
00:15:41,673 --> 00:15:44,262
to do it the way we want,
which is kind of exciting.
309
00:15:44,365 --> 00:15:45,780
I'm glad you guys did this.
310
00:15:45,884 --> 00:15:47,920
The fact that you guys are
being proactive and going,
311
00:15:48,024 --> 00:15:49,922
"What's okay, what's not?"
helps the city a ton.
312
00:15:50,026 --> 00:15:52,028
Oh, dude, proactive is
her middle name. Heck yeah.
313
00:15:52,132 --> 00:15:54,134
- Well, good seeing you guys.
- Alright, take care.
314
00:16:00,761 --> 00:16:02,590
Today, our plumber's
in the crawl space
315
00:16:02,694 --> 00:16:05,697
updating the main drain line
with 4-inch PVC.
316
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,291
Because he couldn't install
any of the cabinets
317
00:16:48,395 --> 00:16:52,019
because of the floor.
Look at over here and over here.
318
00:16:52,123 --> 00:16:53,331
Well, wait,
you mean the level?
319
00:16:53,434 --> 00:16:56,092
Look. Look. Right here.
320
00:16:56,196 --> 00:16:57,921
- Okay.
- It has to be raised up there.
321
00:16:58,025 --> 00:16:59,992
All the floors are unlevel.
322
00:17:00,096 --> 00:17:01,339
Yeah, but he--And then this one
323
00:17:01,442 --> 00:17:02,581
right over here...
324
00:17:02,685 --> 00:17:03,824
- Yeah.
- If you come look at this one,
325
00:17:03,927 --> 00:17:07,690
this one's the worst.
Look at this thing.
326
00:17:07,793 --> 00:17:09,968
During demo, we didn't notice
that the floors in this kitchen
327
00:17:10,072 --> 00:17:12,453
were off-kilter, but--
And I mean not just
328
00:17:12,557 --> 00:17:14,731
in a part of it,
but across the whole floor.
329
00:17:14,835 --> 00:17:16,871
We're trying to keep
a tight reno budget here,
330
00:17:16,975 --> 00:17:18,942
and this one problem
could destroy that.
331
00:17:19,046 --> 00:17:20,185
Holy cow.
332
00:17:24,845 --> 00:17:26,157
I just think we have
- to get some self-leveler.
- Okay.
333
00:17:26,260 --> 00:17:27,744
And we're just gonna
have to get it level.
334
00:17:27,848 --> 00:17:30,022
I'm not a huge fan of using
self-leveler
335
00:17:30,126 --> 00:17:33,785
in a wood-frame house because
the self-leveler is runny stuff.
336
00:17:33,888 --> 00:17:35,097
It can go through
the floors.
337
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,960
I think a better idea
might be to get under the house,
338
00:17:37,064 --> 00:17:39,860
find out where
the closest main beam is,
339
00:17:39,963 --> 00:17:42,311
and jack it up,
and then put a permanent,
340
00:17:42,414 --> 00:17:43,967
like, stanchion
under there to hold it.
341
00:17:44,071 --> 00:17:45,555
That could cause
other issues,
342
00:17:45,659 --> 00:17:47,005
and with our time frame,
343
00:17:47,109 --> 00:17:49,766
I just think
that self-leveler is cheaper... Yeah.
344
00:17:49,870 --> 00:17:52,321
...and it is gonna
take less time.
345
00:17:52,424 --> 00:17:53,736
Yeah, no.
I wasn't thinking.
346
00:17:53,839 --> 00:17:57,119
Because the-- There's always
the risk of cracking plaster.
347
00:17:57,222 --> 00:17:59,155
- Exactly. Yeah.
- Yeah, you blow
the whole house up
348
00:17:59,259 --> 00:18:01,295
if you cr-- if you lift it
- a little too much.
- Yeah.
349
00:18:01,399 --> 00:18:03,194
In order to not crack
all the plaster in the house
350
00:18:03,297 --> 00:18:04,609
when you jack a house up,
351
00:18:04,712 --> 00:18:07,094
you have to jack it up
over a period of days.
352
00:18:07,198 --> 00:18:09,614
It could take a week for us
to get that floor level
353
00:18:09,717 --> 00:18:11,616
by jacking it up
a little bit at a time,
354
00:18:11,719 --> 00:18:15,033
and we don't have a week.
355
00:18:15,137 --> 00:18:18,174
I think a better idea
might be some shimming.
356
00:18:18,278 --> 00:18:20,556
The easiest fix here
is to simply place some shims
357
00:18:20,659 --> 00:18:22,661
underneath the cabinets
to level them out.
358
00:18:22,765 --> 00:18:24,215
It's not only
the quickest fix--
359
00:18:24,318 --> 00:18:26,078
It's also the least expensive.
360
00:18:26,182 --> 00:18:27,528
That way, we'll only
have to level
361
00:18:27,632 --> 00:18:30,152
the remaining exposed floor
in the middle of the kitchen,
362
00:18:30,255 --> 00:18:33,120
which can be done
with a few concrete patches.
363
00:18:33,224 --> 00:18:35,226
Yeah, shim up the cabinets
so we keep moving.
364
00:18:35,329 --> 00:18:36,882
Well, that will solve it. Alright.
365
00:18:40,921 --> 00:18:42,612
Our cabinet guys
get back to work
366
00:18:42,716 --> 00:18:46,513
using shims to make
the lower units level.
367
00:18:46,616 --> 00:18:48,722
The cabinets we chose
are white Shaker
368
00:18:48,825 --> 00:18:52,760
with the uppers topped
by a crown molding.
369
00:18:52,864 --> 00:18:55,073
It's a timeless look
for this historic house.
370
00:19:07,050 --> 00:19:08,051
- Hey.
- Hey.
371
00:19:08,155 --> 00:19:10,261
- Hey. Hey.
- Good to see you guys.
372
00:19:10,364 --> 00:19:12,090
Excited to hear
how the project's coming.
373
00:19:12,194 --> 00:19:13,125
Oh.
It's coming.
374
00:19:13,229 --> 00:19:14,886
Yeah? Yeah, right.
375
00:19:14,989 --> 00:19:16,128
Never as fast as you want.
376
00:19:16,232 --> 00:19:17,682
Never as fast or as easy.
377
00:19:17,785 --> 00:19:19,477
Oh, there's always something
- on an old house, right?
- Yeah.
378
00:19:19,580 --> 00:19:21,099
- So, yeah.
- What do you got?
379
00:19:21,203 --> 00:19:22,618
Here's the awning
that I want to use.
380
00:19:22,721 --> 00:19:24,551
Okay.
Is that metal or--
381
00:19:24,654 --> 00:19:26,069
- Yeah, it's metal.
- Okay.
382
00:19:26,173 --> 00:19:27,554
So I did print this out
for you.
383
00:19:27,657 --> 00:19:28,969
- Okay.
- I got this.
384
00:19:29,072 --> 00:19:31,592
I was looking through the
regulations for your district.
385
00:19:31,696 --> 00:19:34,008
Historic preservation boards
get that bad rap
386
00:19:34,112 --> 00:19:36,010
of being
- a hysteric preservation board.
- Right. Yeah.
387
00:19:36,114 --> 00:19:37,943
- Right.
- It's like--
It's just that people
388
00:19:38,047 --> 00:19:39,082
bought in this neighborhood
389
00:19:39,186 --> 00:19:40,222
because they liked
the historic character
390
00:19:40,325 --> 00:19:41,740
and you want to keep
that historic character.
391
00:19:41,844 --> 00:19:43,397
- Yeah.
- And if people tear it down
and put a McMansion up,
392
00:19:43,501 --> 00:19:45,365
then it's not
- the same character it was.
- You lose-- Yeah, yeah.
393
00:19:45,468 --> 00:19:47,229
Slowly, but surely,
the neighborhood changes.
394
00:19:47,332 --> 00:19:50,232
We want it to be simple,
so an awning
395
00:19:50,335 --> 00:19:54,166
is one of the things
that's listed as a minor review,
396
00:19:54,270 --> 00:19:55,582
which means
you fill this out,
397
00:19:55,685 --> 00:19:58,378
you pay the fee to the city,
and it just goes to the officer.
398
00:19:58,481 --> 00:20:00,172
Awesome.
No board review
for that at all.
399
00:20:00,276 --> 00:20:01,553
So it's much faster.
400
00:20:01,657 --> 00:20:02,968
You don't have to wait for,
like, the monthly meeting
401
00:20:03,072 --> 00:20:04,176
or anything like that.
402
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:05,661
- That's gonna be easy.
- That's all you're planning
403
00:20:05,764 --> 00:20:07,214
- on changing on the outside.
- Yeah, yeah.
404
00:20:07,318 --> 00:20:08,353
Are you-- Are you--
405
00:20:08,457 --> 00:20:09,665
I know we talked
about the opening
406
00:20:09,768 --> 00:20:11,529
the front porch up, right,
to go back
407
00:20:11,632 --> 00:20:13,151
to more of that historic style?
Are you--
408
00:20:13,255 --> 00:20:15,015
Oh, you're getting
peer pressure now.
409
00:20:15,118 --> 00:20:16,119
Well, that's what I do.
410
00:20:16,223 --> 00:20:17,466
That's my job, is
to peer pressure people.
411
00:20:17,569 --> 00:20:18,915
Right. Well--
412
00:20:19,019 --> 00:20:20,434
I mean,
do you want to go back
413
00:20:20,538 --> 00:20:22,436
to that historic feel, right?
It was designed with a porch.
414
00:20:22,540 --> 00:20:25,232
It's that nice transition
- into the house.
- Yeah.
415
00:20:25,336 --> 00:20:26,509
- Yeah.
- It would look beautiful.
416
00:20:26,613 --> 00:20:28,028
Sounds like a great idea,
417
00:20:28,131 --> 00:20:30,099
but not on-- not on
our pocketbook, though.
418
00:20:30,202 --> 00:20:31,376
Not over right
there then, okay.
419
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:32,412
Yeah.
Yeah.
420
00:20:32,515 --> 00:20:33,447
No, I get it.
That makes total sense.
421
00:20:33,551 --> 00:20:34,759
- Yeah.
- I'd love to see it
422
00:20:34,862 --> 00:20:36,416
when you guys are
- wrapping stuff up.
- Yeah.
423
00:20:36,519 --> 00:20:37,451
See how it all comes out.
424
00:20:37,555 --> 00:20:38,694
- Absolutely, yeah.
- Absolutely.
425
00:20:38,797 --> 00:20:40,420
Well, very good.
Well, thank you for this.
426
00:20:40,523 --> 00:20:41,455
You got it. My pleasure. Yeah.
427
00:20:41,559 --> 00:20:42,456
Thanks, guys.
Take care.
428
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:43,457
- We'll see you.
- See you later.
429
00:20:43,561 --> 00:20:44,803
Hey.
That's great news.
430
00:20:44,907 --> 00:20:46,080
I know.
431
00:20:56,194 --> 00:20:58,023
It's time to start
working on the exterior
432
00:20:58,127 --> 00:21:01,544
of this historic house.
433
00:21:01,648 --> 00:21:04,789
In the backyard, we're doing
some much-needed cleanup
434
00:21:04,892 --> 00:21:09,518
by removing the overgrown ivy
from the garage
435
00:21:09,621 --> 00:21:12,521
and tearing up the bricks
and the cracked sidewalk.
436
00:21:16,076 --> 00:21:17,284
Meanwhile, out front,
437
00:21:17,388 --> 00:21:19,321
I'm installing
a classic picket fence,
438
00:21:19,424 --> 00:21:21,944
creating a visual separation
between the house
439
00:21:22,047 --> 00:21:24,533
and the street,
440
00:21:24,636 --> 00:21:27,743
while also giving this place
a touch of vintage style.
441
00:21:32,368 --> 00:21:34,991
Next up, the back
courtyard gets some shade.
442
00:21:37,649 --> 00:21:40,687
We're installing a lofted patio
cover to create a lounging area
443
00:21:40,790 --> 00:21:42,516
where the homeowners
can beat the heat
444
00:21:42,620 --> 00:21:44,346
while still enjoying
the fresh air.
445
00:21:50,248 --> 00:21:52,250
We're about halfway
through this one-month flip,
446
00:21:52,354 --> 00:21:55,909
and we're about halfway through
our reno budget, too.
447
00:21:56,012 --> 00:21:58,636
Of the 65 grand we planned
for this reno budget,
448
00:21:58,739 --> 00:22:00,189
we've spent about $32,000.
449
00:22:00,292 --> 00:22:02,018
Alynne's more prone
to spend money than me,
450
00:22:02,122 --> 00:22:04,780
so I got to keep watch
over our remaining balance.
451
00:22:04,883 --> 00:22:06,333
But, otherwise, this partnership
452
00:22:06,437 --> 00:22:07,990
seems to be
working out pretty well.
453
00:22:17,827 --> 00:22:19,622
What is that?
Yard art.
454
00:22:19,726 --> 00:22:20,899
Yard art?
Yeah.
455
00:22:21,003 --> 00:22:22,522
Like I'll buy that
when pigs fly?
456
00:22:22,625 --> 00:22:24,765
I think it's cute.
I just love this place.
457
00:22:24,869 --> 00:22:27,803
Today, I brought Keith to one
of my favorite vintage stores.
458
00:22:27,906 --> 00:22:29,874
Our historic home
has window openings
459
00:22:29,977 --> 00:22:32,221
between the living room
and the enclosed porch.
460
00:22:32,324 --> 00:22:34,706
And we want to
install old-style windows
461
00:22:34,810 --> 00:22:37,882
that open like doors
to give it that vintage look.
462
00:22:37,985 --> 00:22:40,712
- Hey. How you guys doing?
- Hi. You guys have doors?
463
00:22:40,816 --> 00:22:41,748
Yes.
- You do have doors?
464
00:22:41,851 --> 00:22:42,990
- Yep.
- Yeah.
465
00:22:43,094 --> 00:22:44,958
We're on this hunt to find
historic doors
466
00:22:45,061 --> 00:22:46,615
because it's
a historic renovation.
467
00:22:46,718 --> 00:22:48,720
We've got maybe
one set of doors here.
468
00:22:48,824 --> 00:22:49,894
You're welcome
to take a look at them.
469
00:22:49,997 --> 00:22:51,205
- Yeah. Let's take a look.
- Let me show you.
470
00:22:51,309 --> 00:22:52,931
These-- These might work
for you.
471
00:22:53,035 --> 00:22:54,968
I have these. Oh.
472
00:22:55,071 --> 00:22:56,487
Is this kind of what
you're thinking?
473
00:22:56,590 --> 00:22:58,661
- That's exactly.
- Are you kidding me?
474
00:22:58,765 --> 00:23:00,007
This is
exactly what I think
475
00:23:00,111 --> 00:23:02,320
would have been there,
- like, exactly.
- Okay.
476
00:23:02,424 --> 00:23:04,598
Great. Let's hope
they're the right size.
477
00:23:04,702 --> 00:23:06,393
Was it 18"?
478
00:23:06,497 --> 00:23:08,015
18".
479
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,570
Okay. Alright.
480
00:23:10,673 --> 00:23:12,710
So the width works.
Let's check the height.
481
00:23:12,813 --> 00:23:14,263
A little over 66".
482
00:23:14,366 --> 00:23:15,437
I think that's gonna work, Keith.
483
00:23:15,540 --> 00:23:16,610
You're kidding me.
484
00:23:16,714 --> 00:23:18,405
Maybe these came
out of that house.
485
00:23:18,509 --> 00:23:20,752
Well...
486
00:23:20,856 --> 00:23:22,789
We need eight
that match perfectly, right?
487
00:23:22,892 --> 00:23:24,066
Yeah.
488
00:23:24,169 --> 00:23:26,068
I don't know if I have
more of the same style.
489
00:23:26,171 --> 00:23:27,759
What's our alternative
here then? What do we do?
490
00:23:27,863 --> 00:23:29,174
We've got to take it down
to the ground.
491
00:23:29,278 --> 00:23:30,900
We could get
into other problems,
492
00:23:31,004 --> 00:23:32,730
and cost us
a ton more money.
493
00:23:32,833 --> 00:23:35,215
Demo is cheap. You just
throw a hammer at stuff.
494
00:23:35,318 --> 00:23:37,113
But then we have
to match the floor,
495
00:23:37,217 --> 00:23:39,806
so make this whole room
be one flooring.
496
00:23:39,909 --> 00:23:41,463
Keith isn't considering
the fact that
497
00:23:41,566 --> 00:23:42,981
if we take down this wall,
498
00:23:43,085 --> 00:23:45,225
we'll be left with
a major floor transition
499
00:23:45,328 --> 00:23:47,365
right in the middle
of this huge room.
500
00:23:47,469 --> 00:23:49,850
And trying to replace
the old porch floor
501
00:23:49,954 --> 00:23:53,613
to match the living room
could be incredibly expensive.
502
00:23:53,716 --> 00:23:56,201
We could be talking
10 grand, easily.
503
00:23:56,305 --> 00:23:57,962
Well--Versus finding something
504
00:23:58,065 --> 00:23:59,998
- like this, which is hard.
- Well, wait, wait, wait, wait.
505
00:24:00,102 --> 00:24:01,344
She hasn't told us
what these cost.
506
00:24:01,448 --> 00:24:03,174
We don't know that yet.
So how much--
507
00:24:03,277 --> 00:24:04,969
How much do the doors cost?
508
00:24:05,072 --> 00:24:06,695
Well, for the pair,
it's $695.
509
00:24:06,798 --> 00:24:07,937
We need four.
510
00:24:08,041 --> 00:24:09,421
That's $2,800.
511
00:24:09,525 --> 00:24:12,045
If we can find this--
these doors and they match,
512
00:24:12,148 --> 00:24:13,805
it's gonna save us
a ton of money.
513
00:24:13,909 --> 00:24:16,394
But can you find us
three more pairs that match?
514
00:24:21,157 --> 00:24:22,400
We have a warehouse.
515
00:24:22,504 --> 00:24:23,677
I can give a call down there
and see what we have.
516
00:24:23,781 --> 00:24:24,885
I'm gonna go with it.
- Put our name on these.
- Okay.
517
00:24:24,989 --> 00:24:27,750
And then check the ones
you have,
518
00:24:27,854 --> 00:24:30,097
and maybe get back to us
- with the sizes.
- We'll get back to you.
519
00:24:30,201 --> 00:24:32,168
And then we'll just--
We'll buy them all at once.
520
00:24:32,272 --> 00:24:33,169
- Alright?
- Sounds good.
521
00:24:33,273 --> 00:24:34,861
- Alright.
- I need a card, you know,
522
00:24:34,964 --> 00:24:37,380
like if we buy 10
and you get one.
523
00:24:37,484 --> 00:24:38,554
A loyalty card.
524
00:24:38,658 --> 00:24:40,142
A loyalty card?
525
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,257
Hey, well, it's looking
a little bit better.
526
00:24:52,361 --> 00:24:55,157
You know, and
for primer to look better
527
00:24:55,260 --> 00:24:57,021
than what was here
means it was pretty bad.
528
00:24:57,124 --> 00:24:58,988
It was awful.
529
00:24:59,092 --> 00:25:00,714
Ashlee came by today
to help us consider
530
00:25:00,818 --> 00:25:02,820
some paint choices
for this historic house.
531
00:25:02,923 --> 00:25:04,994
She's been busy working
on other properties,
532
00:25:05,098 --> 00:25:06,824
but since she's gonna be
our real-estate agent here,
533
00:25:06,927 --> 00:25:08,653
she wanted to weigh in
on some of our finishes.
534
00:25:08,757 --> 00:25:09,792
Hey guys.
535
00:25:09,896 --> 00:25:10,828
Hey.
Hey.
536
00:25:10,931 --> 00:25:12,277
I've got our samples.
537
00:25:12,381 --> 00:25:14,866
This is the Sherwin-Williams
peel and stick color samples.
538
00:25:14,970 --> 00:25:16,730
So, wait,
you just peel it open?
539
00:25:16,834 --> 00:25:17,938
- Amazing.
- Yeah.
540
00:25:18,042 --> 00:25:18,974
And--
And then you just, like...
541
00:25:19,077 --> 00:25:20,182
Yeah.
Wow.
542
00:25:20,285 --> 00:25:21,355
Instead of painting
the walls
543
00:25:21,459 --> 00:25:23,357
with a bunch of samples,
you just use these.
544
00:25:23,461 --> 00:25:24,669
You get
such a perfect sample
545
00:25:24,773 --> 00:25:27,258
instead of kind
of a messy-looking wall.
546
00:25:27,361 --> 00:25:28,466
Isn't that awesome?
547
00:25:28,570 --> 00:25:30,123
I can envision those colors
in this room.
548
00:25:30,226 --> 00:25:31,331
I think it looks incredible.
549
00:25:31,434 --> 00:25:32,850
Let's look at it
in other light.
550
00:25:32,953 --> 00:25:34,886
Yeah.
551
00:25:34,990 --> 00:25:37,855
Okay, so I was thinking... Yeah, this is a...
552
00:25:37,958 --> 00:25:39,960
Should I get up here?...a totally different light here.
553
00:25:40,064 --> 00:25:41,583
Just seeing it
on different walls,
554
00:25:41,686 --> 00:25:42,825
I think
it's a great combination
555
00:25:42,929 --> 00:25:44,620
with the Sea Salt
and the Snowbound.
556
00:25:44,724 --> 00:25:45,656
We've got to go with that.
557
00:25:45,759 --> 00:25:46,795
- Absolutely.
- Yeah.
558
00:25:46,898 --> 00:25:48,831
The Sea Salt is gonna
warm up this room
559
00:25:48,935 --> 00:25:51,731
and still stay with the
- historic charm of the house.
- Yeah.
560
00:25:51,834 --> 00:25:53,422
- Let's go order some paint.
- Yeah.
561
00:25:53,525 --> 00:25:54,941
I'm just happy we all agree.
562
00:25:55,044 --> 00:25:56,908
Yeah.
563
00:26:04,502 --> 00:26:06,746
- Alright, here we go.
- Okay.
564
00:26:06,849 --> 00:26:08,333
I think we got everything.
565
00:26:08,437 --> 00:26:09,921
Our paint from
Sherwin-Williams arrived.
566
00:26:10,025 --> 00:26:11,820
We're gonna get the job
started now to see
567
00:26:11,923 --> 00:26:14,029
what the colors look like
when they're fully applied.
568
00:26:19,897 --> 00:26:21,726
This is covering
really nicely.
569
00:26:21,830 --> 00:26:23,176
- I know.
- It looks like a retreat.
570
00:26:23,279 --> 00:26:24,867
It's gorgeous.
571
00:26:27,559 --> 00:26:29,803
I think it's time to get
the actual professionals in here
572
00:26:29,907 --> 00:26:31,840
- to do the whole thing.
- Oh, I told them not to come.
573
00:26:31,943 --> 00:26:33,531
You're gonna be
staying here doing it.
574
00:26:33,635 --> 00:26:35,050
Oh, yeah?
575
00:26:35,153 --> 00:26:36,741
Get out of here! No.
576
00:26:36,845 --> 00:26:39,226
- I will-- I will fight you.
- Come on, let's get out of here.
577
00:26:39,330 --> 00:26:40,814
You didn't know you were
staying here all night?
578
00:26:40,918 --> 00:26:42,367
No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no.
579
00:26:44,542 --> 00:26:46,371
The painting team
continues the work,
580
00:26:46,475 --> 00:26:48,063
putting Sea Salt on the walls
581
00:26:48,166 --> 00:26:51,169
and Snowbound
on the doors and trim.
582
00:26:51,273 --> 00:26:52,964
When they're finished,
this color scheme
583
00:26:53,068 --> 00:26:55,518
will breathe new life
into this old home.
584
00:27:04,044 --> 00:27:06,771
Today, I'm reimagining
the fireplace in this house,
585
00:27:06,875 --> 00:27:11,017
going bold with some black paint
586
00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:16,091
and some stylish stencil work
on the back of the shelving.
587
00:27:16,194 --> 00:27:17,851
Then good news.
588
00:27:17,955 --> 00:27:20,371
Our friends at Foreign Accents
were able to locate
589
00:27:20,474 --> 00:27:22,511
three more pairs
of matching windows,
590
00:27:22,614 --> 00:27:24,340
which we're now installing.
591
00:27:26,515 --> 00:27:28,655
They're the classic
French glass style,
592
00:27:28,759 --> 00:27:31,727
restoring the historical charm
we're trying to capture.
593
00:27:34,281 --> 00:27:35,869
Meanwhile,
we're also swapping out
594
00:27:35,973 --> 00:27:40,184
the old single swing door
to our backyard.
595
00:27:40,287 --> 00:27:41,599
By widening the opening,
596
00:27:41,703 --> 00:27:43,739
we can add
double-glass doors there,
597
00:27:43,843 --> 00:27:46,328
which will allow more natural
light into the house
598
00:27:46,431 --> 00:27:49,365
and create an open-flow feel
out to the courtyard.
599
00:27:56,959 --> 00:27:59,375
It's time to turn
our attention to the bathrooms.
600
00:27:59,479 --> 00:28:01,550
In the hall bath,
we'll save the old ceramic tile
601
00:28:01,653 --> 00:28:04,415
by re-glazing it.
602
00:28:04,518 --> 00:28:07,763
It's an easy way to update
the tile without replacing it.
603
00:28:07,867 --> 00:28:09,523
In our newly-built
master shower,
604
00:28:09,627 --> 00:28:14,736
we install 8"x48" slate tiles
on the walls
605
00:28:14,839 --> 00:28:18,360
and a mosaic called Cosmo Cool
on the floor.
606
00:28:18,463 --> 00:28:20,742
We also add a great fixture
from Alfi--
607
00:28:20,845 --> 00:28:24,435
a six-spray shower panel for
the ultimate bathing experience.
608
00:28:27,403 --> 00:28:29,578
We have one week left
in our one-month flip,
609
00:28:29,681 --> 00:28:31,960
and the money's
looking pretty good.
610
00:28:32,063 --> 00:28:34,548
We anticipated around
65 grand for reno.
611
00:28:34,652 --> 00:28:36,412
We've now spent about $40,000.
612
00:28:36,516 --> 00:28:38,690
I think we can stay on budget
with the amount we have left
613
00:28:38,794 --> 00:28:42,039
because Alynne's done a great
job of choosing stylish upgrades
614
00:28:42,142 --> 00:28:44,489
like the fence out front,
the awning,
615
00:28:44,593 --> 00:28:47,630
and those interior windows,
without breaking the bank.
616
00:29:06,063 --> 00:29:07,236
Alynne?
617
00:29:07,340 --> 00:29:11,723
I think I found some Roman
ruins or something here.
618
00:29:11,827 --> 00:29:14,796
Oh, this is the real deal.
619
00:29:14,899 --> 00:29:16,487
Careful.
Yeah.
620
00:29:19,352 --> 00:29:20,629
Okay.
621
00:29:20,732 --> 00:29:22,389
This is super-cool.
622
00:29:22,493 --> 00:29:23,770
You know, I've been
looking for a place
623
00:29:23,874 --> 00:29:25,461
to put an outdoor bar here.
I mean--
624
00:29:25,565 --> 00:29:27,049
We find one piece of junk,
and you're like,
625
00:29:27,153 --> 00:29:28,119
"Yeah, we should
definitely build
626
00:29:28,223 --> 00:29:29,811
an entire outdoor bar
around that."
627
00:29:29,914 --> 00:29:32,503
We literally have one old
grody piece of concrete.
628
00:29:32,606 --> 00:29:34,574
This is the only part
of the outdoor bar we have,
629
00:29:34,677 --> 00:29:36,334
and we didn't budget
for this sort of upgrade.
630
00:29:36,438 --> 00:29:38,854
Second of all, we don't even
have space for an outdoor bar.
631
00:29:38,958 --> 00:29:41,132
Let me show you where
- I think it might fit.
- Okay.
632
00:29:43,031 --> 00:29:45,343
I-I know where
your brain's going with this.
633
00:29:45,447 --> 00:29:47,518
Yeah, there's
a concrete pad and all,
634
00:29:47,621 --> 00:29:48,933
but we still have
some problems.
635
00:29:49,037 --> 00:29:51,833
We don't have drain lines,
and we don't have supply--
636
00:29:51,936 --> 00:29:54,145
Of course there is.
637
00:29:54,249 --> 00:29:56,734
That is a score.
638
00:29:56,838 --> 00:29:59,150
Okay, but we don't
have a cabinet,
639
00:29:59,254 --> 00:30:00,876
and that thing's
still uglier than sin.
640
00:30:00,980 --> 00:30:03,948
We need a cabinet, sink,
and a faucet... Mm-hmm.
641
00:30:04,052 --> 00:30:06,709
...and some labor, some time,
and materials.
642
00:30:06,813 --> 00:30:08,988
Here I was thinking Alynne
was doing a great job
643
00:30:09,091 --> 00:30:12,198
of keeping expenses in check
with her upgrades.
644
00:30:12,301 --> 00:30:13,440
Now this comes along.
645
00:30:13,544 --> 00:30:14,579
Just because
we can do something
646
00:30:14,683 --> 00:30:16,271
doesn't mean
we should do it, right?
647
00:30:16,374 --> 00:30:18,204
We might actually
finish on budget.
648
00:30:18,307 --> 00:30:19,999
Why screw that up
at the very end?
649
00:30:24,900 --> 00:30:25,625
I think we can touch that up.
I think it--
650
00:30:25,728 --> 00:30:26,660
- We can touch that up.
- Yeah.
651
00:30:26,764 --> 00:30:27,938
But you think that's
gonna add enough
652
00:30:28,041 --> 00:30:30,561
to the value of the house
to make it worthwhile doing?
653
00:30:30,664 --> 00:30:33,633
Yeah. Summer kitchens
can add anywhere from $2,500
654
00:30:33,736 --> 00:30:35,359
to $5,000
to your sale price,
655
00:30:35,462 --> 00:30:36,567
and I don't think--
656
00:30:36,670 --> 00:30:38,776
This is gonna
maybe cost us maybe $1,000.
657
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,122
For right now,
I just got to figure out
658
00:30:40,226 --> 00:30:43,367
how to get that 300-pound
countertop over here, huh?
659
00:30:43,470 --> 00:30:45,679
- Yeah.
- Okay.
I'm gonna go work on that.
660
00:30:45,783 --> 00:30:46,957
Well, I'm gonna go find
a tape measure
661
00:30:47,060 --> 00:30:48,475
to figure out
what size of barbecue's
662
00:30:48,579 --> 00:30:50,684
gonna fit along
- with that countertop.
- Bar-- Bar--
663
00:30:50,788 --> 00:30:52,652
We didn't say anything
about a barbecue.
664
00:30:52,755 --> 00:30:54,585
Well, when you have a sink,
you have to have a grill.
665
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,906
So what's the deal?
Who's coming?
666
00:31:05,009 --> 00:31:06,045
Monster Grass.
667
00:31:06,148 --> 00:31:07,322
What's Monster Grass?
668
00:31:07,425 --> 00:31:09,807
They are
an artificial turf company.
669
00:31:09,911 --> 00:31:12,120
This yard is so small
that I think
670
00:31:12,223 --> 00:31:15,088
it gives us an opportunity
to do something really cool.
671
00:31:15,192 --> 00:31:17,056
Artificial turf here?
672
00:31:17,159 --> 00:31:19,161
And pavers.
It's actually got the pavers
673
00:31:19,265 --> 00:31:20,749
with, like, four--
674
00:31:20,852 --> 00:31:22,854
Hey.
- Hey. How are you guys doing?
675
00:31:22,958 --> 00:31:24,028
- Good.
- Good, good.
676
00:31:24,132 --> 00:31:25,547
- Fernie, right?
- That's right.
677
00:31:25,650 --> 00:31:27,549
Yeah, we've been
talking on the phone.
678
00:31:27,652 --> 00:31:28,791
Fernie. Keith?
679
00:31:28,895 --> 00:31:29,931
- Keith.
- That's right?
680
00:31:30,034 --> 00:31:31,208
Yeah. Right. Alright.
681
00:31:31,311 --> 00:31:33,313
I was just explaining to him
what I wanted to do
682
00:31:33,417 --> 00:31:35,557
that I've been going over
with you with the plans.
683
00:31:35,660 --> 00:31:38,146
Okay.
So in here,
684
00:31:38,249 --> 00:31:40,838
it's gonna have, like,
20x20 pavers...
685
00:31:40,942 --> 00:31:43,047
Okay....with the grass in between.
686
00:31:43,151 --> 00:31:47,327
But then that green in this area
is gonna bleed into the areas
687
00:31:47,431 --> 00:31:50,020
that we're doing
just the-- the turf alone.
688
00:31:50,123 --> 00:31:51,849
Oh, okay.
We're gonna go ahead
689
00:31:51,953 --> 00:31:55,301
and create a 3- to 4-inch
- foundation, alright?
- Okay.
690
00:31:55,404 --> 00:31:57,544
That's gonna be tampered
down with concrete sand.
691
00:31:57,648 --> 00:31:59,719
We're also gonna be
applying a weed barrier.
692
00:31:59,822 --> 00:32:01,203
Then we apply
the turf on the top.
693
00:32:01,307 --> 00:32:02,411
The turf is installed.
694
00:32:02,515 --> 00:32:04,379
We're gonna go ahead
and spread silica sand,
695
00:32:04,482 --> 00:32:05,967
alright, just to give it
a little bit of weight.
696
00:32:06,070 --> 00:32:09,280
You're gonna see a nice,
beautiful, lush green.
697
00:32:09,384 --> 00:32:12,318
Okay.
Her design sounds amazing,
698
00:32:12,421 --> 00:32:13,629
but I'm ki--
kind of curious--
699
00:32:13,733 --> 00:32:15,528
What does--
What does this cost?
700
00:32:15,631 --> 00:32:18,427
Well, with the square footage
that you have,
701
00:32:18,531 --> 00:32:21,085
$550 a square foot,
so about $3,000.$3,000?
702
00:32:21,189 --> 00:32:23,812
$3,000 is what we might spend
in the backyard
703
00:32:23,915 --> 00:32:25,641
to put in irrigation
and real grass
704
00:32:25,745 --> 00:32:28,644
and all this stuff.
I mean, this is amazing.
705
00:32:28,748 --> 00:32:30,060
This is why I thought
706
00:32:30,163 --> 00:32:33,166
that this was the perfect yard
for this application.
707
00:32:33,270 --> 00:32:34,236
- I thank you for that.
- Yeah.
708
00:32:34,340 --> 00:32:35,341
So we got ourselves a deal?
709
00:32:35,444 --> 00:32:36,376
- You got it.
- Yes, awesome.
710
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:37,757
Alright, we got it?
Yes.
711
00:32:47,594 --> 00:32:49,562
The workers get busy
spreading a layer
712
00:32:49,665 --> 00:32:53,876
of finally-crushed gravel
known as fines...
713
00:32:53,980 --> 00:32:56,948
and then smoothing it out
with a plate compactor.
714
00:32:59,848 --> 00:33:04,025
This creates a perfect bed
for the 20x20 paver stones...
715
00:33:07,994 --> 00:33:09,582
...and the carpet
of Monster Grass
716
00:33:09,685 --> 00:33:12,723
along the side of the house.
717
00:33:12,826 --> 00:33:15,967
Our backyard oasis
is shaping up great.
718
00:33:24,769 --> 00:33:29,326
It's time to paint over
this ugly mustard yellow color.
719
00:33:29,429 --> 00:33:31,431
We've chosen a shade
called Niebla Azul--
720
00:33:31,535 --> 00:33:33,985
a bluish gray that'll turn
this 100-year-old eyesore
721
00:33:34,089 --> 00:33:36,091
into a bright spot
in the neighborhood.
722
00:33:40,509 --> 00:33:42,994
Then we're finally getting
our electrical panel replaced.
723
00:33:43,098 --> 00:33:45,342
It turns out that all we had
to do was redistribute
724
00:33:45,445 --> 00:33:48,655
the connections at the panel
to a new box with more breakers
725
00:33:48,759 --> 00:33:50,726
and we're up to code.
726
00:33:50,830 --> 00:33:53,488
The best part-- The money
we saved is enough to cover
727
00:33:53,591 --> 00:33:55,283
all of Alynne's design upgrades.
728
00:34:04,533 --> 00:34:06,846
We're in a race
to finish this flip in a month.
729
00:34:06,949 --> 00:34:10,194
So today, we're setting up
our kitchen appliances
730
00:34:10,298 --> 00:34:12,817
and putting in a gorgeous
black granite countertop,
731
00:34:12,921 --> 00:34:14,060
which is contrasted nicely
732
00:34:14,164 --> 00:34:16,614
by our white
diamond tile backsplash.
733
00:34:21,585 --> 00:34:23,380
We're building
a kitchen outside, too,
734
00:34:23,483 --> 00:34:25,347
polishing up that old countertop
we found
735
00:34:25,451 --> 00:34:27,832
and adding a cabinet
with stainless-steel doors.
736
00:34:32,182 --> 00:34:36,013
And finally, we're installing
an amazing interior feature--
737
00:34:36,117 --> 00:34:38,602
a hidden bookshelf door
for the second bedroom.
738
00:34:38,705 --> 00:34:41,743
It's a crafty touch that's sure
to be a conversation piece.
739
00:34:50,614 --> 00:34:52,926
The last step is staging.
740
00:34:53,030 --> 00:34:55,032
The staging company
is our go-to place
741
00:34:55,136 --> 00:34:57,068
for finding the right
blend of furniture
742
00:34:57,172 --> 00:35:00,141
and accents for any house.
743
00:35:00,244 --> 00:35:02,660
In this refreshed version
of a historic home,
744
00:35:02,764 --> 00:35:05,974
they hit the sweet spot
between classic and comfortable.
745
00:35:11,082 --> 00:35:12,981
We finished this flip
right on schedule,
746
00:35:13,084 --> 00:35:15,777
and, amazingly, right on budget.
747
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,744
We planned on spending
65 grand on reno,
748
00:35:17,848 --> 00:35:20,575
and we ended within just
a few hundred dollars of that.
749
00:35:20,678 --> 00:35:22,404
We hit the mark
almost perfectly,
750
00:35:22,508 --> 00:35:24,717
and I think we hit the mark
on this house, too.
751
00:35:24,820 --> 00:35:26,546
Now it's time to find out.
752
00:35:31,172 --> 00:35:33,519
Whoa.
753
00:35:37,178 --> 00:35:39,145
Hey, Scott.
You ready to approve our work?
754
00:35:39,249 --> 00:35:41,527
Hey, guys.
Look at this place.
755
00:35:41,630 --> 00:35:43,045
I'm telling you.
756
00:35:43,149 --> 00:35:44,115
Hey.
757
00:35:44,219 --> 00:35:45,738
It's so different.
758
00:35:45,841 --> 00:35:47,118
Originally, I thought
this place
759
00:35:47,222 --> 00:35:49,776
looked like an insurance office,
not even residential.
760
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,778
It was...
That mustard color.
761
00:35:51,882 --> 00:35:52,952
And you had
a different color
762
00:35:53,055 --> 00:35:54,471
for what was infilled
in the porch.
763
00:35:54,574 --> 00:35:57,232
Right. We didn't have a lot
to work with on the outside here
764
00:35:57,336 --> 00:36:00,166
because there-- We couldn't
really change a great deal,
765
00:36:00,270 --> 00:36:02,617
but the things we did change
and add and subtract...
766
00:36:02,720 --> 00:36:03,721
This looks great.
767
00:36:09,244 --> 00:36:10,280
Now it's a totally
different look than it had.
768
00:36:10,383 --> 00:36:12,005
This fence right here, I mean,
769
00:36:12,109 --> 00:36:13,352
this really helps it feel
770
00:36:13,455 --> 00:36:15,595
much more residential
and much more warm.
771
00:36:15,699 --> 00:36:18,219
It gives a separation
from the road to the house.
772
00:36:18,322 --> 00:36:20,704
- Yeah.
- And it takes away
from that insurance feel.
773
00:36:20,807 --> 00:36:23,293
Man, oh, man, just the--
the colors and the awning,
774
00:36:23,396 --> 00:36:25,778
they add some real pop
and some real character to it.
775
00:36:25,881 --> 00:36:27,780
You kept the historic feel
to the house,
776
00:36:27,883 --> 00:36:31,370
and actually changing it to
one color made it more cohesive.
777
00:36:31,473 --> 00:36:32,819
It just looks a lot more
778
00:36:32,923 --> 00:36:34,338
appropriate
to the historic district.
779
00:36:34,442 --> 00:36:35,753
I think we did a good job
780
00:36:35,857 --> 00:36:37,479
of maintaining the historic
characteristics of the home
781
00:36:37,583 --> 00:36:39,101
on the inside, too.
You want to see?
782
00:36:39,205 --> 00:36:40,517
- Yeah, love to.
- Let's take a look.
783
00:36:42,415 --> 00:36:44,245
You guys remember
when we first came in here,
784
00:36:44,348 --> 00:36:46,902
there was, like, the ugly,
green paint on the walls?
785
00:36:47,006 --> 00:36:48,835
This space used
to be so drab.
786
00:36:48,939 --> 00:36:51,010
The fireplace was present.
It was here.
787
00:36:51,113 --> 00:36:53,288
Yeah, it was fine.
- But it wasn't very attractive.
788
00:36:53,392 --> 00:36:56,326
But now... It's, like, a feature now.
789
00:36:56,429 --> 00:36:58,259
It makes it feel like it's
a lot bigger, a lot more to it.
790
00:36:58,362 --> 00:36:59,743
I mean,
it's a great living space.
791
00:36:59,846 --> 00:37:01,192
It's
a great entertaining space.
792
00:37:01,296 --> 00:37:02,677
Yeah.
- It's just-- It's just right.
793
00:37:02,780 --> 00:37:03,850
I'm really happy with it.
794
00:37:03,954 --> 00:37:05,714
You've always been into
historic windows.
795
00:37:05,818 --> 00:37:07,958
I was noticing
that they're back.
796
00:37:08,061 --> 00:37:09,615
These things were
- gone before, right?
- Yeah.
797
00:37:09,718 --> 00:37:11,410
Now you guys
brought these back. I love it.
798
00:37:11,513 --> 00:37:12,790
They fit perfectly.
799
00:37:12,894 --> 00:37:14,344
That's awesome, because they
were originally there
800
00:37:14,447 --> 00:37:16,104
to separate this room
- from that room. Yeah.
801
00:37:16,207 --> 00:37:17,416
And now you've got it back.
802
00:37:17,519 --> 00:37:19,728
But they're not even
my favorite part of this room,
803
00:37:19,832 --> 00:37:21,799
let alone this flip.
Let me show you something.
804
00:37:21,903 --> 00:37:24,595
This is...
805
00:37:24,699 --> 00:37:26,390
Check this out....a hidden bookcase door.
806
00:37:26,494 --> 00:37:28,254
- Get out of here.
- Yeah.
807
00:37:28,358 --> 00:37:29,704
I had no idea.
808
00:37:29,807 --> 00:37:32,431
You wouldn't ever think
about that being there.
809
00:37:32,534 --> 00:37:34,329
I just thought, "Bookcase,"
and they trimmed it out... Yeah.
810
00:37:34,433 --> 00:37:35,572
...just like the rest
of the trim.
811
00:37:35,675 --> 00:37:37,367
Yeah. So let's go check out
the dining room.
812
00:37:37,470 --> 00:37:39,300
Yeah.
Great. Let's go.
813
00:37:39,403 --> 00:37:41,992
It was so bland in here
and kind of dark.
814
00:37:42,095 --> 00:37:43,442
Dark tan.
815
00:37:43,545 --> 00:37:45,789
Yeah, it was, wasn't it?
Before, it was just a room
816
00:37:45,892 --> 00:37:48,826
you kind of walked through to
get from one to the other.
817
00:37:48,930 --> 00:37:52,416
And now it has full utility
and clarity of purpose.
818
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:53,762
This is
Sherwin-Williams...
819
00:37:53,866 --> 00:37:55,143
- Sea Salt.
- Sea Salt.
820
00:37:55,246 --> 00:37:56,593
- The Sea Salt, yeah.
- It's such a cool color.
821
00:37:56,696 --> 00:37:58,595
It's just nicer in here.
It's more pleasant.
822
00:37:58,698 --> 00:38:00,700
We always knew
this was a dining room,
823
00:38:00,804 --> 00:38:03,393
but by adding the light
and the new paint,
824
00:38:03,496 --> 00:38:05,533
it's now brought
back to life.
825
00:38:05,636 --> 00:38:06,810
- It is.
- Absolutely.
826
00:38:06,913 --> 00:38:08,605
- It really is. It's awesome.
- Nice job.
827
00:38:08,708 --> 00:38:10,365
Let's check out
the guest bath.
828
00:38:10,469 --> 00:38:12,988
- Remember the baby toilet?
- The baby toilet, yeah.
829
00:38:13,092 --> 00:38:14,749
The dueling
medicine cabinets.
830
00:38:14,852 --> 00:38:17,545
- Right.
- It was just a mess.
831
00:38:17,648 --> 00:38:19,340
So bringing it together
832
00:38:19,443 --> 00:38:22,032
under one style philosophy
made it look great.
833
00:38:22,135 --> 00:38:23,447
Small changes
in this room,
834
00:38:23,551 --> 00:38:25,760
but let's go check out
- the master.
- Yeah.
835
00:38:25,863 --> 00:38:28,797
In the beginning, this room
was so long and narrow.
836
00:38:28,901 --> 00:38:30,972
It's amazing how much
a dark room
837
00:38:31,075 --> 00:38:34,113
can actually close
- in a space.
- Yeah.
838
00:38:34,216 --> 00:38:37,668
Now it feels, like, very open
and not so closed in.
839
00:38:37,772 --> 00:38:39,221
We didn't change
the size of it,
840
00:38:39,325 --> 00:38:41,741
but we made it make
much more sense, you know.
841
00:39:31,446 --> 00:39:32,861
to it,
so it's a really nice touch.
842
00:39:32,965 --> 00:39:34,138
The floor's the part
of this room
843
00:39:34,242 --> 00:39:35,830
I'm actually
the most surprised about.
844
00:39:35,933 --> 00:39:38,177
- It's nice and level.
- Massive, massive change.
845
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,869
So between
the fantastic appliances,
846
00:39:40,973 --> 00:39:42,423
the much more
workable layout,
847
00:39:42,526 --> 00:39:44,321
and these really
cool little touches
848
00:39:44,425 --> 00:39:45,909
- made it a really special space.
- Yeah.
849
00:39:46,012 --> 00:39:47,807
And we put this beautiful
double door in there,
850
00:39:47,911 --> 00:39:49,775
and let me show you what's on
- the other side of that door.
- Yeah.
851
00:39:49,878 --> 00:39:53,330
Remember, before, it was
just vines, and all the pavers,
852
00:39:53,434 --> 00:39:55,470
and stepping stones,
and stuff.
853
00:39:55,574 --> 00:39:58,197
What a change!
854
00:39:58,300 --> 00:39:59,854
Holy cow.
855
00:39:59,957 --> 00:40:01,683
To see it now
fully cleaned up
856
00:40:01,787 --> 00:40:04,341
and having everything together,
it's amazing.
857
00:40:04,445 --> 00:40:07,137
The garage got the new paint
it needed. It looks great.
858
00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:09,139
I think one of the most
surprising parts of this flip,
859
00:40:09,242 --> 00:40:12,038
though, was this--
this pergola gazebo thing.
860
00:40:12,142 --> 00:40:13,281
- We ordered it online.
- Yeah.
861
00:40:13,384 --> 00:40:15,386
- Are you serious?
- Yeah. It came in a box.
862
00:40:15,490 --> 00:40:16,905
I was assum-- I was assuming
you just had
863
00:40:17,009 --> 00:40:18,528
some carpenters out here to
really build this... No.
864
00:40:18,631 --> 00:40:21,082
...and a roofer to put a metal
roof on it. This is awesome.
865
00:40:21,185 --> 00:40:23,912
I'm really, really impressed,
what we pulled off here.
866
00:40:24,016 --> 00:40:26,294
We found
this concrete countertop
867
00:40:26,397 --> 00:40:28,330
in the weeds over there.
It certainly wasn't something
868
00:40:28,434 --> 00:40:30,229
that was part
of our original design plan.
869
00:40:30,332 --> 00:40:31,610
There's a drain line,
supply line,
870
00:40:31,713 --> 00:40:32,680
and electric right here.
871
00:40:32,783 --> 00:40:33,681
That's fantastic.
872
00:40:33,784 --> 00:40:35,579
- Crazy.
- How fun is that?
873
00:40:35,683 --> 00:40:38,306
Remember, we had, like,
six different kinds of pavers
874
00:40:38,409 --> 00:40:41,171
all over and they were
all, like, unleveled.
875
00:40:43,829 --> 00:40:46,038
The way that we
integrated the stepping stones
876
00:40:46,141 --> 00:40:49,179
with the Monster Grass--
really, really cool.
877
00:40:49,282 --> 00:40:51,422
Monster Grass not only did
a great job
878
00:40:51,526 --> 00:40:53,839
with, like, the sort
of landscaping,
879
00:42:15,990 --> 00:42:18,199
Okay. I just saw
your couple, you know.
880
00:42:18,302 --> 00:42:19,545
Couple... Yeah, I'm good with this.
881
00:42:19,649 --> 00:42:21,582
They were really close.
882
00:42:24,999 --> 00:42:27,277
Ahhhhh!
883
00:42:27,380 --> 00:42:29,072
Ah. So close.
