1
00:00:04,266 --> 00:00:06,700
[Mina] For nearly a decade,
I worked my butt off
2
00:00:06,700 --> 00:00:10,166
renovating Indianapolis
one rundown house at a time.
3
00:00:10,166 --> 00:00:12,667
This is tragic.
Come on in.
4
00:00:12,667 --> 00:00:15,000
Oh, my gosh.
5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,800
-[all cheering]
-Oh, my gosh.
6
00:00:18,767 --> 00:00:20,367
Wow.
7
00:00:20,367 --> 00:00:22,166
[upbeat music playing]
8
00:00:22,166 --> 00:00:25,133
But now, after all
that hustling and grinding,
9
00:00:28,567 --> 00:00:31,700
it's time to set a new pace.
10
00:00:33,567 --> 00:00:35,900
I'm heading out into
uncharted waters.
11
00:00:35,900 --> 00:00:38,600
-I love that there's space
for the kids to play.
-Yeah.
12
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:39,867
Slimming down my business.
13
00:00:39,867 --> 00:00:41,266
It's empty.
Seems crazy.
14
00:00:41,266 --> 00:00:42,967
Renovating fewer houses.
15
00:00:42,967 --> 00:00:45,000
We're going to have to move
a lot slower
16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,900
-as more income comes in.
-Yeah.
17
00:00:46,900 --> 00:00:49,467
And creating a slower life
on the lake for my family.
18
00:00:49,467 --> 00:00:51,767
Welcome to your new world.
19
00:00:51,767 --> 00:00:55,700
[pop music playing]
20
00:00:55,700 --> 00:00:57,100
Aw.
21
00:00:57,100 --> 00:00:59,500
[Mina]
It's time for a fresh start.
22
00:00:59,867 --> 00:01:02,900
Oh, my gosh.
23
00:01:09,166 --> 00:01:11,700
[upbeat music playing]
24
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:13,000
Where did you say
this house was?
25
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,266
-Okay.
-This is in Martinsville,
which is about 30 minutes away
26
00:01:16,266 --> 00:01:18,000
from downtown Indianapolis.
27
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,266
But it's on the water.
28
00:01:20,266 --> 00:01:22,567
It's probably more house than
we need, but the idea is that
29
00:01:22,567 --> 00:01:24,767
it could be for friends
and families
and the grandkids.
30
00:01:24,767 --> 00:01:28,266
Steve and I have been looking
for an affordable fixer-upper
31
00:01:28,266 --> 00:01:30,700
on a lake for about
three years now.
32
00:01:35,066 --> 00:01:37,667
I mean, really, after
focusing so hard
33
00:01:37,667 --> 00:01:41,066
on our careers for so long,
I just kind of had
34
00:01:41,066 --> 00:01:43,166
this light bulb moment
that the kids aren't going
35
00:01:43,166 --> 00:01:44,367
to be young forever.
36
00:01:44,367 --> 00:01:46,467
So we really wanted
to figure out a way
37
00:01:46,467 --> 00:01:49,166
to have a lifestyle
where we're living more
38
00:01:49,166 --> 00:01:50,967
and working a little bit less.
39
00:01:50,967 --> 00:01:54,100
So I made the choice
to slow down and scale back
40
00:01:54,100 --> 00:01:57,166
the renovation business a bit,
which means I didn't need
41
00:01:57,166 --> 00:01:59,000
headquarters anymore.
42
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,166
So I decided to go ahead
and list it and I got an offer
43
00:02:03,166 --> 00:02:04,266
that I just couldn't refuse.
44
00:02:04,266 --> 00:02:07,367
So now just really feels like
the right time to find
45
00:02:07,367 --> 00:02:09,500
a lake house where
we can have a little bit
46
00:02:09,500 --> 00:02:13,266
more calm and make
some memories for our kids
47
00:02:13,266 --> 00:02:14,567
that they're never going
to forget.
48
00:02:14,567 --> 00:02:16,100
So, this is the house
that we saw
49
00:02:16,100 --> 00:02:18,166
and really liked.
We made an offer,
50
00:02:18,166 --> 00:02:20,100
but lost out to another buyer.
51
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:23,000
But lucky for us,
the other buyer's offer
just fell through.
52
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,367
The seller's agent reached
back out and was like,
53
00:02:25,367 --> 00:02:28,266
"Hey, would you like to see it
before it's listed again?"
54
00:02:28,266 --> 00:02:31,400
So I think it's five bedrooms,
three baths,
55
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,300
five thousand square feet
with the basement.
56
00:02:33,300 --> 00:02:34,467
-Okay.
-And it...
57
00:02:34,467 --> 00:02:36,367
was listed at $525,000.
58
00:02:36,367 --> 00:02:38,967
It's a cool mid-century
house, never updated,
59
00:02:38,967 --> 00:02:40,333
so it needs renovating.
60
00:02:40,333 --> 00:02:44,100
But it's really hard to find
anything under $700,000
on the water,
61
00:02:44,100 --> 00:02:45,266
so the price is right.
62
00:02:45,266 --> 00:02:48,867
I think we have enough
in savings for
the down payment.
63
00:02:48,867 --> 00:02:52,300
-With HQ selling,
we could start the renovation.
-Gotcha.
64
00:02:52,300 --> 00:02:54,367
That still sounds
like a pretty good deal to me,
65
00:02:54,367 --> 00:02:56,000
-on the water.
-Yeah. Yeah.
66
00:03:02,767 --> 00:03:04,734
[screams] God.
67
00:03:05,667 --> 00:03:08,767
It's a cicada. It's fine.
It's just giant.
68
00:03:08,767 --> 00:03:10,967
-Got you like that.
That freaked you out?
-[screams]
69
00:03:10,967 --> 00:03:12,634
-Oh, good luck.
-Okay.
70
00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:14,800
We're in nature.
71
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,533
If those freak you out,
welcome to your new world.
72
00:03:18,767 --> 00:03:20,900
Whoo. Okay.
73
00:03:27,367 --> 00:03:30,100
It's got that really beautiful
mid-century modern vibe
74
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:31,000
going on.
75
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,867
I love the stone.
I love the front door.
76
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:34,200
I think it just needs
a paint job
77
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,100
and some updated landscaping.
78
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,467
Yeah, I love it.
79
00:03:37,467 --> 00:03:39,767
I love, like, the country feel
and kind of getting
80
00:03:39,767 --> 00:03:41,233
a bit of away from downtown.
81
00:03:43,667 --> 00:03:44,467
I love the door.
82
00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:52,567
I remember this
a little bit now.
83
00:03:52,567 --> 00:03:54,567
The living room seems
to be a pretty good size.
84
00:03:54,567 --> 00:03:57,367
-I love the light
that gets let in.
-Yeah.
85
00:03:57,367 --> 00:04:00,667
-Well, that's going.
-That's going, 100%.
86
00:04:00,667 --> 00:04:02,567
Not sure what was sitting here
or here,
87
00:04:02,567 --> 00:04:05,467
-but this is all going to go.
-You got that fireplace going.
88
00:04:05,467 --> 00:04:07,900
If this was, like,
crappy stone veneer,
89
00:04:07,900 --> 00:04:09,166
I wouldn't keep it,
but it's...
90
00:04:09,166 --> 00:04:10,467
-I absolutely love this.
-I love it.
91
00:04:10,467 --> 00:04:13,467
-Because I can see, like,
Christmas tree, fire.
-All the kids.
92
00:04:13,467 --> 00:04:16,166
-They're all lined up here.
-I had this, like, growing up.
93
00:04:16,166 --> 00:04:17,233
It was brick.
94
00:04:17,233 --> 00:04:19,066
Well, we're going to have
to get a mantle because
95
00:04:19,066 --> 00:04:21,066
we got to hang
the stockings with care.
96
00:04:21,066 --> 00:04:22,667
-[laughs]
-Yep.
97
00:04:22,667 --> 00:04:24,266
I don't want a mantle.
I want a mantle.
98
00:04:24,266 --> 00:04:25,867
So where are the stockings
going to be hung then
99
00:04:25,867 --> 00:04:28,300
-if you don't have them
with the mantle?
-By the hung with care?
100
00:04:28,300 --> 00:04:29,767
You're stressing me out.
101
00:04:29,767 --> 00:04:31,667
We'll put that over there
for now.
102
00:04:31,667 --> 00:04:34,867
This is not a joke.
This is not a drill.
103
00:04:34,867 --> 00:04:37,900
If Steve cannot, in his brain,
figure out where Christmas
104
00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:40,333
is happening,
there is no point
in having this house.
105
00:04:41,066 --> 00:04:43,266
And that's just how,
like, sentimental
106
00:04:43,266 --> 00:04:45,867
and, like,
family-oriented he is.
107
00:04:45,867 --> 00:04:47,333
-Let's go see the kitchen.
-[Steve] Okay.
108
00:04:49,667 --> 00:04:53,767
-So we've got a dining area,
a bar top area, the kitchen.
-Yeah. I like--
109
00:04:53,767 --> 00:04:54,934
Kids can eat.
110
00:04:54,934 --> 00:04:57,166
-[Mina]
And then a breakfast nap.
-Get some bar stools.
111
00:04:57,166 --> 00:04:58,800
-But not there.
-Yep, right here.
112
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,567
-So, no.
-Because they've got
to be looking.
113
00:05:00,567 --> 00:05:04,800
I think what I would prefer
to do is...
114
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,166
I want to straighten this out
so we just have a run
six inches
115
00:05:08,166 --> 00:05:10,100
in from the door,
six inches in from the window.
116
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:12,166
-Okay.
-And I think we could keep
117
00:05:12,166 --> 00:05:14,166
the sink under the window,
obviously.
118
00:05:14,166 --> 00:05:16,467
Stove could fit here,
and then fridge
could fit here,
119
00:05:16,467 --> 00:05:18,100
and then just a big island.
120
00:05:18,100 --> 00:05:20,967
-Well, I like the ideas
that you got so far.
-Okay.
121
00:05:20,967 --> 00:05:22,500
-Want to check out
the bedrooms?
-Show me the bedrooms?
122
00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:23,834
-I do.
-All right, let's do it.
123
00:05:25,467 --> 00:05:29,100
-So I see this one.
-This room as?
124
00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:31,300
-Being Jack's big boy room.
-Jack's big boy room.
125
00:05:31,300 --> 00:05:33,900
[Mina]
And then right next door
being Charlie's room.
126
00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:36,367
-This one's a little bigger.
-Oh, okay.
127
00:05:36,367 --> 00:05:38,934
[Mina]
And then these two bedrooms
share this bathroom.
128
00:05:40,567 --> 00:05:42,166
But I think this
is going to be pretty simple,
129
00:05:42,166 --> 00:05:45,700
because although the things
all need replaced,
130
00:05:45,700 --> 00:05:48,066
like behind the drywall,
this was functioning.
131
00:05:48,066 --> 00:05:49,000
Sounds good.
132
00:05:51,367 --> 00:05:53,300
-This room is huge.
-Huge.
133
00:05:53,300 --> 00:05:54,934
-This view is...
-Is amazing.
134
00:05:56,667 --> 00:05:57,634
Do you like the wallpaper?
135
00:06:00,900 --> 00:06:02,400
-No.
-Okay, good.
136
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,634
Just checking.
137
00:06:03,634 --> 00:06:05,700
-See where we're at. Yes.
-Let's move on to
the bathroom.
138
00:06:08,066 --> 00:06:10,266
This really isn't a main
en suite bathroom.
139
00:06:10,266 --> 00:06:14,166
-Needs to have two vanities.
And the shower is very sad.
-Okay.
140
00:06:14,166 --> 00:06:15,667
We'll figure this out.
141
00:06:15,667 --> 00:06:19,000
The downstairs is mostly
cosmetic, but it's huge.
142
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,667
It all needs updating.
143
00:06:20,667 --> 00:06:21,967
The living area,
the kitchenette,
144
00:06:21,967 --> 00:06:23,200
the bathroom, the bedrooms.
145
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,066
It's a massive house
for just us.
146
00:06:25,066 --> 00:06:26,066
But I really like that
there's plenty of room
147
00:06:26,066 --> 00:06:28,667
for friends and family
to enjoy this place too.
148
00:06:28,667 --> 00:06:30,500
-Yeah.
-I don't want to go back down
by the water.
149
00:06:30,500 --> 00:06:31,500
Let's go down there.
150
00:06:32,900 --> 00:06:34,300
-I love this.
-Yes.
151
00:06:34,300 --> 00:06:36,467
-I love that there's space
for the kids to play.
-Yeah.
152
00:06:36,467 --> 00:06:38,467
And then I kind of see, like,
out at the point,
153
00:06:38,467 --> 00:06:40,700
that being where there's,
like, a small dock
154
00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:42,266
-along the property line.
-Okay.
155
00:06:42,266 --> 00:06:44,100
Maybe some, like,
chairs and a...
156
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:47,066
-Even, like,
a simple fire pit.
-Yeah, sounds good.
157
00:06:47,066 --> 00:06:48,934
I want to gauge your interest
because...
158
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,600
Well, I hope you love it
because it's a great price.
159
00:06:56,667 --> 00:06:58,500
And so I just went
with my gut.
160
00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:02,000
-I just re-sent our offer.
-Well, surprise, surprise.
161
00:07:06,467 --> 00:07:09,300
-I just re-sent our offer.
-Oh, um...
162
00:07:10,100 --> 00:07:11,667
-So...
-Surprise, surprise.
163
00:07:12,367 --> 00:07:15,166
The first time that we kind of
came out here, like,
I liked it.
164
00:07:15,166 --> 00:07:18,400
-Yeah.
-But now, I really love it.
165
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,600
I can see the vision
and having all the family
166
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,066
-and the friends out here.
-Yeah.
167
00:07:23,066 --> 00:07:25,667
Like, weekends, holidays,
things like that.
168
00:07:25,667 --> 00:07:28,400
But can you tell me how much
it's going to cost?
169
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,200
[Mina] Well, if they accept
our offer,
170
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,100
I think this is mostly
a cosmetic renovation,
171
00:07:32,100 --> 00:07:33,467
but it's a big one.
172
00:07:33,467 --> 00:07:35,567
Every space needs updated.
173
00:07:35,567 --> 00:07:37,200
I think we should update
the exterior,
174
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,100
and inside we need
all new flooring, new paint,
175
00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:41,367
and I want to do
a brand new kitchen.
176
00:07:41,367 --> 00:07:44,166
And then there's renovating
all the bedrooms
and bathrooms.
177
00:07:44,166 --> 00:07:46,200
And then in the backyard,
I think we should build
178
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,667
a dock, and maybe a fire pit,
179
00:07:47,667 --> 00:07:49,800
and then maybe even add
a hot tub.
180
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,166
The house is listed
for $525,000,
181
00:07:53,166 --> 00:07:56,166
but I put an offer
in for $510,000.
182
00:07:56,166 --> 00:07:59,667
It's going to take at least
$200,000 to do
the renovations,
183
00:07:59,667 --> 00:08:03,467
so we'd be all in at $710,000.
184
00:08:03,467 --> 00:08:06,600
And I think we hold onto
this house for as long
as possible
185
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,867
and let our kids grow up here,
and we make this place
186
00:08:08,867 --> 00:08:10,867
our home away from home.
187
00:08:10,867 --> 00:08:13,266
-We're buying a dream,
not a house.
-Yeah.
188
00:08:13,266 --> 00:08:14,667
We should bring the kids back.
189
00:08:14,667 --> 00:08:16,400
-Oh, my God.
They're going to be so hyped.
-Yeah.
190
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,667
Steve and I don't live
extravagantly.
191
00:08:18,667 --> 00:08:20,300
We don't have
expensive clothes.
192
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:22,266
We don't drive fancy cars.
193
00:08:22,266 --> 00:08:24,066
We've really, like,
scrimped and saved.
194
00:08:24,066 --> 00:08:28,000
We've worked our butts off
and held onto most of
195
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,166
what we've made.
196
00:08:29,166 --> 00:08:31,567
And even this house is
a fixer-upper,
197
00:08:31,567 --> 00:08:34,200
and it's what we could afford,
and it's a smart buy.
198
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,800
It's going to take
a lot of work.
199
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,767
And luckily, with the pending
HQ sale, we're going to have
200
00:08:38,767 --> 00:08:40,700
some funds coming in
to be able to do the work.
201
00:08:43,667 --> 00:08:46,367
♪♪ Can we make
this last forever? ♪
202
00:08:46,367 --> 00:08:48,400

204
00:08:57,900 --> 00:08:59,200
All right, it's getting there.
205
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,433
When are the movers coming?
206
00:09:00,433 --> 00:09:03,233
They're coming for
the big stuff at
the end of the week.
207
00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:07,133
I have a lot of mixed emotions
this morning.
208
00:09:07,767 --> 00:09:09,867
Unexpectedly, I got
an offer on HQ,
209
00:09:09,867 --> 00:09:12,100
30-day close,
so we are moving out.
210
00:09:12,100 --> 00:09:13,467
-Hey.
-How are you guys?
211
00:09:13,467 --> 00:09:14,967
-What do you think?
-It's empty.
212
00:09:14,967 --> 00:09:17,900
I haven't seen it empty
like this in so long.
213
00:09:17,900 --> 00:09:20,433
-Since before we moved in.
-Yeah, seems crazy.
214
00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:26,200
It was only a couple
of years ago that
215
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,100
we built this headquarters
for my home renovation
company,
216
00:09:29,100 --> 00:09:30,567
Two Chicks and a Hammer.
217
00:09:30,567 --> 00:09:32,500
But it really got to be
a little bit too much,
218
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:35,266
so I decided to scale back
pretty dramatically.
219
00:09:35,266 --> 00:09:38,166
And instead of renovating
a dozen houses a year,
220
00:09:38,166 --> 00:09:40,367
I now only have
a couple of projects going on,
221
00:09:40,367 --> 00:09:42,266
and I only have one employee.
222
00:09:42,266 --> 00:09:45,300
On the bright side,
with this going
under contract,
223
00:09:45,300 --> 00:09:47,767
it's going to free up some
cash for the lake house.
224
00:09:47,767 --> 00:09:49,000
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
225
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,467
-I feel like it's kind of--
-Meant to be.
226
00:09:51,467 --> 00:09:52,767
Yeah, maybe meant to be.
227
00:09:52,767 --> 00:09:54,166
So we can probably be done
for now.
228
00:09:54,166 --> 00:09:56,133
We'll grab those last three.
We'll rock and roll.
229
00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:00,467
Closing HQ and downsizing
the business
230
00:10:00,467 --> 00:10:02,300
really has been a big change.
231
00:10:02,300 --> 00:10:03,867
But I think it's definitely
going to be good
232
00:10:03,867 --> 00:10:05,066
for our entire family.
233
00:10:05,066 --> 00:10:07,066
And so while, yes,
it's definitely going to be
a change,
234
00:10:07,066 --> 00:10:08,634
it's a change that
I'm ready for.
235
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,200
Come on in.
Take her all in.
236
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,667
The sellers accepted our offer
of $510,000 on the lake house,
237
00:10:22,667 --> 00:10:24,467
and now we are ready
to get to work.
238
00:10:24,467 --> 00:10:26,100
We're putting in
some sweat equity.
239
00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:28,767
We've got some friends coming
to put in some sweat equity.
240
00:10:28,767 --> 00:10:30,867
MJ and Austin are helping.
241
00:10:30,867 --> 00:10:34,266
The fact that they were
previous employees of yours,
242
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:35,300
and they're willing
to come help out.
243
00:10:35,300 --> 00:10:36,467
And they don't hate me enough
to not come back.
244
00:10:36,467 --> 00:10:37,800
Yeah, I think that says a lot.
245
00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:39,900
Hit it, girl.
246
00:10:44,066 --> 00:10:45,500
This is the last
of the carpet.
247
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,567
[Mina] Last piece.
248
00:10:53,367 --> 00:10:56,834
Two of my favorite things,
mid-century modern house
and a lake.
249
00:10:57,767 --> 00:11:01,367
I'm very strong on lakes
are way better than beaches,
250
00:11:01,367 --> 00:11:02,700
oceans, trash.
251
00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:05,500
-100%.
-Awful, salty, sand.
252
00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:07,367
Sand's bad.
I don't like sand.
253
00:11:07,367 --> 00:11:10,300
And this is just
so much better.
254
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:11,700
It's so much better.
255
00:11:15,100 --> 00:11:17,133
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
256
00:11:23,166 --> 00:11:24,500
Hey.
257
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,300
[upbeat music playing]
258
00:11:37,767 --> 00:11:39,200
Wow, what a mess.
259
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,166
-Uh-oh.
-I hope you guys got cleaners.
260
00:11:42,166 --> 00:11:43,600
Yeah, you're looking at them.
261
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,367
[laughs] You're looking at
them.
262
00:11:45,367 --> 00:11:47,667
I feel like we worked harder
today than we did
263
00:11:47,667 --> 00:11:50,166
-when we were full-time
employees, to be honest.
-Uh...
264
00:11:50,166 --> 00:11:51,500
I would say at
the beginning, no.
265
00:11:51,500 --> 00:11:54,100
It took me a long time,
but it wasn't that hard.
266
00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:56,266
But then I ended up
looking like this.
267
00:11:56,266 --> 00:11:58,700
So yeah, kind of. Yeah.
268
00:11:59,500 --> 00:12:00,500
Aw.
269
00:12:05,467 --> 00:12:06,166
It was beating.
270
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:20,200
Now our toilet will sit here.
271
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,667
I can't.
272
00:12:22,667 --> 00:12:25,567
[Mina] There are no floor plan
changes happening at
this project.
273
00:12:25,567 --> 00:12:27,166
Everything is staying
where it is.
274
00:12:27,166 --> 00:12:29,767
No walls are moving,
except I am going to put in
275
00:12:29,767 --> 00:12:31,700
some floor joists
over the open staircase
276
00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:34,400
to the basement so I can add
a bit more room
277
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:35,800
to the main bathroom.
278
00:12:36,967 --> 00:12:38,700
And we're ditching the pony
walls in the living room
279
00:12:38,700 --> 00:12:41,834
to open it up a bit more
and make the entrance
more welcoming.
280
00:12:45,967 --> 00:12:49,300
Hey, buddy.
Oh, where you going...
281
00:12:49,300 --> 00:12:51,367
-Group hug.
-Are you ready to go swim?
282
00:12:51,367 --> 00:12:52,367
Yeah.
283
00:12:52,367 --> 00:12:55,300
Well, let's go change,
and we will go swimming.
284
00:13:04,667 --> 00:13:06,600
[babbles]
285
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:09,367
How's that feel, guys?
286
00:13:09,367 --> 00:13:12,867
-Hey.
-Feels good.
287
00:13:12,867 --> 00:13:15,333
-Are you excited to be able
to do this every day?
-Yeah.
288
00:13:16,266 --> 00:13:18,900
We've been living in
the city for so long
now that...
289
00:13:19,467 --> 00:13:20,700
Mmm...
290
00:13:21,467 --> 00:13:23,500
we don't ever get
to do stuff like this.
291
00:13:23,500 --> 00:13:25,567
So it's pretty awesome.
292
00:13:25,567 --> 00:13:27,800
There you go, little baby.
All right.
293
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,767
-Let's rock and roll.
-Hold me like a baby.
294
00:13:29,767 --> 00:13:32,600
-You like the lake house?
-[babbles]
295
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,400
The lake house is going
to feel very healing for Steve
296
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,700
because he's lost so much.
297
00:13:38,467 --> 00:13:42,867
Steve's little sister
passed away after
298
00:13:42,867 --> 00:13:47,166
both her and Steve's parents
had died six months apart.
299
00:13:47,166 --> 00:13:50,367
He's going through life
the best way he can
300
00:13:50,367 --> 00:13:54,000
after just some really,
really epic loss
301
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,066
in a very, very short amount
of time.
302
00:13:56,066 --> 00:13:58,467
And because his time
with his family was cut short,
303
00:13:58,467 --> 00:14:01,567
that's really why we wanted
this lake house for Jack
and Charlie,
304
00:14:01,567 --> 00:14:03,800
really for the long term,
for like the memories,
305
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,066
for the experiences.
306
00:14:05,066 --> 00:14:07,800
So that's, I think,
why it's really important
to both of us.
307
00:14:11,867 --> 00:14:14,800
With demo and our small amount
of framing work finished,
308
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,166
we're at a little bit of
a stall until the money
309
00:14:17,166 --> 00:14:18,800
from the HQ sale
comes through.
310
00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:27,567
While Two Chicks
may have downsized,
311
00:14:27,567 --> 00:14:29,533
we still have a few projects
on our plate.
312
00:14:30,100 --> 00:14:32,867
This is Birch,
and the main house
313
00:14:32,867 --> 00:14:35,500
is finally getting built.
314
00:14:36,567 --> 00:14:39,166
Last year, this project came
to a screeching halt
315
00:14:39,166 --> 00:14:41,166
when the foundation
didn't pass inspection.
316
00:14:41,166 --> 00:14:45,867
The foundation team that
did this did not
do it properly.
317
00:14:45,867 --> 00:14:47,800
The foundation is below grade.
318
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,567
Steve and I actually decided
to hold on to this property
319
00:14:50,567 --> 00:14:51,700
as a rental.
320
00:14:51,700 --> 00:14:54,400
And to help offset
the costs of
the duplex delays,
321
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,367
we decided to move forward
with building two rental units
322
00:14:57,367 --> 00:14:59,300
in a carriage house on
the back of the lot.
323
00:14:59,300 --> 00:15:01,500
-This is it.
-Oh, wow.
324
00:15:03,066 --> 00:15:05,266
But every day
this main duplex isn't rented
325
00:15:05,266 --> 00:15:06,467
is costing us money.
326
00:15:06,467 --> 00:15:08,700
At least now,
it's finally coming along.
327
00:15:08,700 --> 00:15:11,100
And Brittany can't get
down here today,
328
00:15:11,100 --> 00:15:13,867
so I'm doing
our daily pictures.
329
00:15:13,867 --> 00:15:15,867
And we got footers,
which is exciting.
330
00:15:15,867 --> 00:15:18,567
It looks massive now,
but there'll be
a raised porch here,
331
00:15:18,567 --> 00:15:22,266
which will make this place
a very charming addition
to the street.
332
00:15:22,266 --> 00:15:25,100
-[cell phone vibrating]
-Hello.
333
00:15:25,100 --> 00:15:27,700
-Hey.
-All the footers are in.
334
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,800
There's no posts.
335
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,367
I put everything in the app,
so there's pictures.
336
00:15:32,367 --> 00:15:33,900
[Brittany] Did you go in?
337
00:15:33,900 --> 00:15:35,600
-No, I haven't gone in.
-Oh, okay.
338
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,033
What did you need?
339
00:15:38,467 --> 00:15:41,033
The sale of HQ
is not happening.
340
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,400
The bank called,
and that cashier's check
341
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:46,567
was fraudulent.
342
00:15:46,567 --> 00:15:50,233
And that money is no good.
343
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:51,333
Jesus.
344
00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:55,667
[tense music playing]
345
00:15:55,667 --> 00:15:58,200
[Brittany] The sale of HQ
is not happening.
346
00:15:59,900 --> 00:16:03,400
The bank called,
and that cashier's check
347
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,767
was written on
a fraudulent account,
348
00:16:05,767 --> 00:16:09,400
and that money is no good.
349
00:16:10,567 --> 00:16:11,900
[Mina] Jesus.
350
00:16:11,900 --> 00:16:15,166
This obviously changes some
things financially for
the business,
351
00:16:15,166 --> 00:16:16,867
but also for Steve and I,
so...
352
00:16:16,867 --> 00:16:19,266
-This sucks.
-All right, thanks, Britt.
353
00:16:19,266 --> 00:16:20,500
-I'll talk to you later.
-Bye.
354
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,333
This is definitely not good.
355
00:16:31,100 --> 00:16:34,266
Steve's not gonna be happy.
I'm not happy.
356
00:16:34,266 --> 00:16:37,300
And we gotta figure out what
exactly we're gonna do.
357
00:16:45,767 --> 00:16:47,200
[door creaking]
358
00:16:47,567 --> 00:16:48,900
-Oh, hey.
-Hi.
359
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,133
What's going on?
360
00:16:50,467 --> 00:16:52,367
Uh, well...
361
00:16:52,367 --> 00:16:55,900
-the bank called.
-Uh-huh.
362
00:16:58,100 --> 00:16:59,900
The sale of HQ fell through.
363
00:17:00,367 --> 00:17:01,667
Mmm.
364
00:17:01,667 --> 00:17:03,667
It's totally...
365
00:17:03,667 --> 00:17:04,800
-It's...
-Done.
366
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,667
...was too good to be true.
Headquarters is, is empty.
367
00:17:08,667 --> 00:17:12,000
-Right.
-We're moved out, like at
the very worst case,
368
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000
we can rent it
if we don't have
another buyer,
369
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,300
but, obviously, our plan is
changing.
370
00:17:17,300 --> 00:17:19,867
We don't have these funds
to pay for the renovation
371
00:17:19,867 --> 00:17:21,967
-at the lake house.
-Mm-hmm.
372
00:17:21,967 --> 00:17:25,266
So we're gonna have to move
a lot slower
373
00:17:25,266 --> 00:17:28,000
and do the projects
pretty much as...
374
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,767
-more income comes in.
-Yeah.
375
00:17:30,767 --> 00:17:34,266
-We for sure have to cut back
on a lot of things.
-Yeah.
376
00:17:34,266 --> 00:17:38,000
I mean, backyard,
back deck, like none of,
377
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,900
-Yeah.
-nothing needs
to happen there.
378
00:17:39,900 --> 00:17:42,467
I also think we leave
the basement as is.
379
00:17:42,467 --> 00:17:44,900
I mean, I think a good
first kind of chunk for us
380
00:17:44,900 --> 00:17:46,400
to bite off is getting like
the outside,
381
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,000
just like a refresh
and then inside all
382
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,867
the flooring, all the paint.
383
00:17:51,867 --> 00:17:55,467
And that gets us like
a nice shell to then be able
384
00:17:55,467 --> 00:17:57,667
to kind of reset and be like,
okay, let's look at our budget
385
00:17:57,667 --> 00:18:00,166
for the kitchen
and the two bathrooms.
386
00:18:00,166 --> 00:18:03,066
Cause that's, those are
obviously the
big ticket items.
387
00:18:03,066 --> 00:18:06,266
And while it would have taken
$200,000 to reno
388
00:18:06,266 --> 00:18:08,000
this entire property inside
and out,
389
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,266
slimming down the reno
to just the main level is
390
00:18:10,266 --> 00:18:12,800
going to get us closer
to the $100,000 budget,
391
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,800
which is still a lot
and still going to take some
sacrifices
392
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,233
to pull that money together.
393
00:18:17,967 --> 00:18:20,100
The nice thing is that
we're not on
394
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:22,500
any particular deadlines.
395
00:18:22,500 --> 00:18:25,166
You always tell me when
I get worried about money,
396
00:18:25,166 --> 00:18:27,266
we can always make more.
397
00:18:27,266 --> 00:18:29,467
So let's just go with
that mindset.
398
00:18:29,467 --> 00:18:30,667
That is the whole point.
399
00:18:30,667 --> 00:18:32,600
It's for the kids
to be able to, like,
400
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,367
-have great memories
and grow up and say,
-Yeah.
401
00:18:34,367 --> 00:18:36,967
"I remember doing this
and, you know,
402
00:18:36,967 --> 00:18:38,867
playing with sticks
and starting a fire."
403
00:18:38,867 --> 00:18:40,800
Life's about memories,
not money.
404
00:18:42,266 --> 00:18:43,667
-Yeah.
-So,
405
00:18:43,667 --> 00:18:44,767
that's what
we're going to do.
406
00:18:52,100 --> 00:18:54,767
Despite the setback with HQ,
we're pushing forward
407
00:18:54,767 --> 00:18:57,000
with giving the front of
the lake house a refresh.
408
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,500
With a more modern look
in mind,
409
00:18:58,500 --> 00:19:00,634
we're going to go with
an all-black exterior.
410
00:19:02,467 --> 00:19:03,800
[upbeat music playing]
411
00:19:04,967 --> 00:19:07,100
I definitely love
the mid-century vibe
412
00:19:07,100 --> 00:19:09,266
of this house, but I want
to use more muted colors.
413
00:19:09,266 --> 00:19:11,900
So the flooring I'm going with
is a very light blonde,
414
00:19:11,900 --> 00:19:14,100
which modernizes
the whole main level.
415
00:19:14,100 --> 00:19:17,100
On the exterior,
we installed oversized
lantern fixtures
416
00:19:17,100 --> 00:19:19,100
to break up all the black,
but we need to figure out
417
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:20,934
an accent color for the door.
418
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:22,800
[Jack] Mom.
419
00:19:23,667 --> 00:19:26,000
-Yeah, buddy?
-We need you.
420
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,900
-You need me?
-[Jack] Yeah.
421
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:30,033
You don't need me.
422
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,333
You just want me.
423
00:19:33,367 --> 00:19:35,400
I got to paint the front door.
424
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,767
I brought the kids up here
a few weeks ago
425
00:19:37,767 --> 00:19:41,367
and had a bunch of
different paint chips
for the front door.
426
00:19:41,367 --> 00:19:44,700
And I gave Steve the option
of which one he wanted
of those,
427
00:19:44,700 --> 00:19:46,400
and he picked slate green.
428
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:47,467
-Yeah.
-All right.
429
00:19:47,467 --> 00:19:49,233
-Let's go for it?
-Let's go for it.
430
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,600
-I feel like he would wear
that color.
-Yeah.
431
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,900
[Jack] Hey, mama...
432
00:19:54,900 --> 00:19:56,100
Yeah. [gasps]
433
00:19:56,100 --> 00:19:58,500
Oh, Lord. What'd you find?
434
00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:02,266
[gasps]
435
00:20:04,266 --> 00:20:05,500
Oh, God.
I thought it was paint.
436
00:20:05,500 --> 00:20:08,000
-Come here. Show your daddy.
-[Jack] Mom,
come and see this.
437
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,266
-Come here.
-Oh, Lord.
438
00:20:10,266 --> 00:20:12,500
I panicked,
'cause I see Charlie come out,
439
00:20:12,500 --> 00:20:13,967
and I thought she had paint
all over her.
440
00:20:13,967 --> 00:20:16,567
And I was like,
if she has paint all over her,
441
00:20:16,567 --> 00:20:18,200
then something else
has paint all over it.
442
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,800
And it's just Styrofoam.
443
00:20:20,467 --> 00:20:21,433
[exclaims]
444
00:20:21,433 --> 00:20:23,266
We have to paint,
so you can't do that with
445
00:20:23,266 --> 00:20:24,900
the Styrofoam or
it'll get in the paint.
446
00:20:24,900 --> 00:20:26,467
Why don't you go play
with sticks?
447
00:20:26,467 --> 00:20:27,500
[exclaims]
448
00:20:30,266 --> 00:20:33,300
The children are having
a ball with the Styrofoam.
449
00:20:33,300 --> 00:20:34,266
And you know what?
450
00:20:34,266 --> 00:20:36,867
-It's keeping them busy,
so it's fine.
-Yeah.
451
00:20:36,867 --> 00:20:40,100
So it will dry darker,
but I don't know if it's going
452
00:20:40,100 --> 00:20:42,467
to dry as dark as...
This does not look like
the swatch.
453
00:20:42,467 --> 00:20:44,100
It has, like, blue. Yeah.
454
00:20:45,867 --> 00:20:50,166
-In my head, I had the...
-The swatch was gray, green,
like black.
455
00:20:50,166 --> 00:20:51,500
-Yep.
-It was almost black.
456
00:20:52,100 --> 00:20:54,467
And this is not that.
457
00:20:54,467 --> 00:20:56,000
-This is not the right color.
-Yeah.
458
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,400
I'm just so confused.
459
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,367
It's very possible that
it was, like, mis-mixed.
460
00:21:00,367 --> 00:21:02,800
-Actually, that is kind of it.
-That is kind of it.
461
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:03,934
That is kind of it.
462
00:21:04,467 --> 00:21:06,166
But I don't want it.
I think.
463
00:21:06,166 --> 00:21:07,767
We'll go the next color down.
464
00:21:07,767 --> 00:21:09,967
Honestly, that's probably what
we thought we were doing.
465
00:21:09,967 --> 00:21:11,200
-I'm good with that.
-Okay.
466
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,367
So we're going to make
a different selection.
467
00:21:13,367 --> 00:21:14,767
You know what?
468
00:21:14,767 --> 00:21:17,500
Remember when we were
at Auntie Kelsey's
and there was the fire pit?
469
00:21:17,500 --> 00:21:19,166
We could make one like that.
470
00:21:19,166 --> 00:21:22,100
Oh, we just need
to scratch sticks.
471
00:21:22,100 --> 00:21:23,500
You just need to scratch
sticks together?
472
00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:26,066
So we just put one in
the middle and scratch it.
473
00:21:26,066 --> 00:21:29,300
With our plans to paint
the front door being foiled,
474
00:21:29,300 --> 00:21:31,100
we had loosely talked about
a fire pit.
475
00:21:31,100 --> 00:21:32,700
And there's all these
extra stones from
476
00:21:32,700 --> 00:21:35,200
-the half wall that
we took down.
-Yeah.
477
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,266
So just transition that energy
into let's build a fire pit.
478
00:21:38,266 --> 00:21:41,066
I kind of thought, like,
right there past that tree.
479
00:21:41,066 --> 00:21:42,066
Okay.
480
00:21:42,066 --> 00:21:43,867
I know a perfect spot!
481
00:21:43,867 --> 00:21:46,900
Or even in the middle here,
just, like, a couple
Adirondack chairs.
482
00:21:46,900 --> 00:21:50,967
I had and still have
grand plans for the backyard,
483
00:21:50,967 --> 00:21:54,100
but it would be nice to have,
like, a little fire pit area,
484
00:21:54,100 --> 00:21:56,066
and that's something that
we can do very easily.
485
00:21:56,066 --> 00:21:58,467
Got to find some more sticks
to rub together first.
486
00:21:58,467 --> 00:22:00,400
Eventually, we'll do, like,
more of, like,
487
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,367
the bigger backyard project,
but I think this will be nice
for now.
488
00:22:03,367 --> 00:22:04,300
Oh, it'll be nice.
489
00:22:06,300 --> 00:22:07,900
[upbeat music playing]
490
00:22:30,867 --> 00:22:33,000
Now that I have
the new paint color for
the front door,
491
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,133
I think we made
the right choice to go with
the darker bronze color.
492
00:22:37,367 --> 00:22:39,166
It gives the mid-century
exterior
493
00:22:39,166 --> 00:22:41,000
a monochromatic modern twist.
494
00:22:42,100 --> 00:22:44,000
Oh, look at that!
495
00:22:46,367 --> 00:22:47,634
That looks good.
496
00:22:47,634 --> 00:22:50,367
And to help us save on budget,
I'm going to keep the nice,
497
00:22:50,367 --> 00:22:53,166
clean river rock in the front
and spruce up the exterior
498
00:22:53,166 --> 00:22:55,767
with some oversized
mid-century modern planters.
499
00:22:55,767 --> 00:22:57,100
This looks good.
500
00:22:57,100 --> 00:23:01,667
The roundness of these
makes the giant earrings
makes more sense.
501
00:23:01,667 --> 00:23:03,800
The lights I found
are massive.
502
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,200
Oh, wow. Those blended in.
503
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,867
You don't notice them
until you notice them.
504
00:23:06,867 --> 00:23:08,166
I did not notice them
until I noticed them.
505
00:23:08,166 --> 00:23:09,367
-Yeah, they're huge.
-All right.
506
00:23:09,367 --> 00:23:11,700
-Now we just need to acquire
some evergreens.
-[MJ] Yeah.
507
00:23:12,867 --> 00:23:14,567
[Mina] Because we're taking
this house in phases,
508
00:23:14,567 --> 00:23:17,867
the inside is about
as far along as it's going
to get for now.
509
00:23:17,867 --> 00:23:20,100
There's fresh white paint
and flooring down,
510
00:23:20,100 --> 00:23:22,100
but I've got something special
I think I can add to
511
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:24,200
the main bedroom
that's just for Steve.
512
00:23:27,500 --> 00:23:30,367
I've been assembling
and hoarding.
513
00:23:30,367 --> 00:23:32,100
Yeah, all the way up
to the front, huh?
514
00:23:32,100 --> 00:23:35,066
The garage is so full
with all like the comforters
515
00:23:35,066 --> 00:23:36,867
and pillows and bedding
and there's rugs
516
00:23:36,867 --> 00:23:38,066
and all the chairs
are assembled.
517
00:23:38,066 --> 00:23:40,200
And they're all the things
I've been buying and hoarding
518
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,667
when I find them on sale
to help us stay on budget.
519
00:23:42,667 --> 00:23:45,166
And it might be at
max capacity now.
520
00:23:45,166 --> 00:23:47,266
We've got the fireplace
from Michigan 'cause
521
00:23:47,266 --> 00:23:50,667
-they actually installed
like a legit fireplace.
-A real fireplace?
522
00:23:50,667 --> 00:23:54,100
The fireplace got
a new life when it was put
523
00:23:54,100 --> 00:23:57,000
into a house
we did on Michigan.
524
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,800
We had an extremely
expensive foundation issue
at this house,
525
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,667
so we couldn't afford
to put in a fireplace,
526
00:24:01,667 --> 00:24:03,266
despite MJ's begging.
527
00:24:03,266 --> 00:24:06,567
The fireplace is going to
really be the focal point.
528
00:24:06,567 --> 00:24:09,166
-No.
-I've said no less than
47 times that
529
00:24:09,166 --> 00:24:10,900
there is no fireplace
in this house.
530
00:24:10,900 --> 00:24:12,100
Yeah, but do you love it?
531
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:15,100
And then he surprised me with
an affordable alternative.
532
00:24:15,100 --> 00:24:16,300
I love this thing.
533
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,367
[MJ] Yes.
534
00:24:18,367 --> 00:24:20,600
[Mina] So I was thrilled
when the buyers didn't need it
535
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,000
and let me have it because
it's going to fit
536
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,367
the mid-century look of
the lake house perfectly.
537
00:24:24,367 --> 00:24:27,000
And Steve loves
538
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,300
a fireplace.
539
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:30,767
Like either this corner.
540
00:24:30,767 --> 00:24:33,367
It's like really the only spot
for the bed is right there.
541
00:24:33,367 --> 00:24:36,600
I think that could be cute
if the chairs fit on
each side of it.
542
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,567
And then the bed right there.
543
00:24:38,567 --> 00:24:41,266
The only thing
that Steve cared about
in the house,
544
00:24:41,266 --> 00:24:43,266
the only thing he had
the opinion on was the bed
545
00:24:43,266 --> 00:24:45,467
and it's leather
tufted headboard.
546
00:24:45,467 --> 00:24:46,800
I think that'll work.
547
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,400
Everything else
in the house is kind of
lagging a little bit.
548
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,266
So I might try to,
even though the house
549
00:24:50,266 --> 00:24:52,367
won't be done,
like get this stage.
550
00:24:52,367 --> 00:24:54,100
So it's like hot mess
express out there.
551
00:24:54,100 --> 00:24:54,967
And then you walk into it
and you're like.
552
00:24:54,967 --> 00:24:57,166
Island of solitude
in here that's done.
553
00:24:57,166 --> 00:24:58,200
Yeah.
554
00:25:03,967 --> 00:25:05,500
So it's been framed
for a while,
555
00:25:05,500 --> 00:25:07,367
-but we couldn't really
get into it easily.
-Yeah.
556
00:25:07,367 --> 00:25:08,567
Because the porches
were not finished till...
557
00:25:08,567 --> 00:25:10,467
I've never seen it
with the porch.
The porch looks great.
558
00:25:10,467 --> 00:25:11,967
-Last week.
-Yeah.
559
00:25:11,967 --> 00:25:13,700
Last we were here,
you couldn't really get in
560
00:25:13,700 --> 00:25:16,000
the house because the steps
and the porches weren't built.
561
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,400
So now that's all done.
The mechanicals are all done.
562
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:19,967
We actually called in
our inspections for
563
00:25:19,967 --> 00:25:21,900
the framing and all
the mechanicals this morning.
564
00:25:21,900 --> 00:25:24,867
Then we can move on
to insulation and drywall.
565
00:25:24,867 --> 00:25:26,500
Three-bedroom,
two-and-a-half bath.
566
00:25:27,500 --> 00:25:30,767
[Steve] I like it.
You made good space out of it.
567
00:25:30,767 --> 00:25:34,767
So I don't know what,
based on our other rentals,
568
00:25:34,767 --> 00:25:36,767
what we could get for a three,
two and a half,
569
00:25:36,767 --> 00:25:38,367
because we're kind of at
the phase where
570
00:25:38,367 --> 00:25:40,100
we just want to make
the final decision
571
00:25:40,100 --> 00:25:43,100
whether this is still
something we want to hold
as a rental.
572
00:25:43,100 --> 00:25:45,100
When the sale of headquarters
fell through,
573
00:25:45,100 --> 00:25:48,100
that was really tough because
a lot of decisions were made
574
00:25:48,100 --> 00:25:49,600
based on that money coming in.
575
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,166
But it did make us stop
and think,
576
00:25:51,166 --> 00:25:52,266
like, what do we do
with Birch?
577
00:25:52,266 --> 00:25:55,266
It's been a big investment,
so is it something that
578
00:25:55,266 --> 00:25:56,634
we want to sell?
579
00:25:56,634 --> 00:25:59,300
Is it something that we want
to hold long-term?
Like, I don't know.
580
00:25:59,300 --> 00:26:01,100
This area is just growing
so much.
581
00:26:01,100 --> 00:26:04,667
I think there's definitely
strong possibilities
582
00:26:04,667 --> 00:26:06,800
that it would be super
successful as rentals.
583
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,166
I think we could figure out
a way to hold it.
584
00:26:09,166 --> 00:26:11,467
I think it's worth it
for the last year or two.
585
00:26:11,467 --> 00:26:13,767
All these decisions have been
super, super hard.
586
00:26:13,767 --> 00:26:17,200
The whole conversation about
finances...
587
00:26:18,467 --> 00:26:22,567
leads me into the store,
and I'm thinking about
closing it.
588
00:26:22,567 --> 00:26:23,700
Closing the store?
589
00:26:24,467 --> 00:26:25,567
Yeah.
590
00:26:29,700 --> 00:26:32,700
The whole conversation
about finances
591
00:26:34,266 --> 00:26:36,300
leads me into the store.
592
00:26:36,900 --> 00:26:38,500
And I'm thinking about
closing it.
593
00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:39,500
Closing the store?
594
00:26:39,900 --> 00:26:40,834
Yeah.
595
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:42,500
Why is that?
596
00:26:42,500 --> 00:26:45,266
We're not losing money,
but we're not making money.
597
00:26:45,266 --> 00:26:47,400
-Yeah, yeah.
-And it just doesn't
seem like...
598
00:26:48,467 --> 00:26:50,367
the right thing
to keep doing anymore.
599
00:26:50,367 --> 00:26:53,867
We opened District Co.
at the height of
the pandemic in 2020.
600
00:26:53,867 --> 00:26:57,667
And the original dream
was to have a place
601
00:26:57,667 --> 00:27:00,667
where the neighbors could come
and have a glass of wine,
602
00:27:00,667 --> 00:27:03,300
work in the morning
on their laptop with coffee,
603
00:27:03,300 --> 00:27:05,667
come get the gift
for the birthday.
604
00:27:05,667 --> 00:27:09,700
The main goal was really
to be like a cornerstone
605
00:27:09,700 --> 00:27:11,367
in the neighborhood.
606
00:27:11,367 --> 00:27:13,100
And it never quite got
its footing,
607
00:27:13,100 --> 00:27:14,667
so it's been a struggle.
608
00:27:14,667 --> 00:27:16,367
Yeah, it would just be
a bummer,
609
00:27:16,367 --> 00:27:19,600
'cause I feel like that was,
like, our family...
610
00:27:20,567 --> 00:27:22,000
-For the kids to grow up.
-Yeah.
611
00:27:22,467 --> 00:27:23,567
Are you going to cry?
612
00:27:23,567 --> 00:27:25,400
-Oh...
-Well, I just...
613
00:27:26,567 --> 00:27:29,500
The store's kind of been
like a family affair, so...
614
00:27:30,367 --> 00:27:32,100
Um...
615
00:27:35,300 --> 00:27:38,000
You know, it's just,
it's tough for me.
616
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,834
But, you know, if you...
617
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,033
Like, when you said that it's,
like, not your passion
anymore,
618
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,066
then you got to move on.
619
00:27:49,066 --> 00:27:50,100
Yeah.
620
00:27:50,100 --> 00:27:51,233
Just do what you got to do.
621
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,767
I mean, one big win,
HQ is rented.
622
00:27:55,767 --> 00:27:57,300
-That's good.
-For 18 months.
623
00:27:57,300 --> 00:27:59,567
And so its mortgage
is covered,
624
00:27:59,567 --> 00:28:01,000
and then a little bit sums.
625
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,567
That's some good news.
626
00:28:02,567 --> 00:28:05,300
[Mina]
HQ is actually rented.
We have a signed lease.
627
00:28:05,300 --> 00:28:07,467
We have a security deposit
and first month's rent.
628
00:28:07,467 --> 00:28:10,100
For an 18-month lease,
it's enough that it's going
629
00:28:10,100 --> 00:28:12,567
to cover the mortgage there,
which is great.
630
00:28:12,567 --> 00:28:15,567
That makes our conversations
about this
631
00:28:15,567 --> 00:28:17,200
and the lake house
a little bit easier,
632
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,200
because I'm not going
to have to worry about
any of our money
633
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,000
-Right.
-going towards supporting
headquarters.
634
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,967
I feel much more comfortable
about finishing out
635
00:28:22,967 --> 00:28:23,834
in the lake house.
636
00:28:23,834 --> 00:28:25,200
A little bit of weight
off your chest.
637
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,066
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
638
00:28:26,066 --> 00:28:28,567
Man, a lot going on.
639
00:28:28,567 --> 00:28:30,000
Yeah.
640
00:28:35,467 --> 00:28:37,266
I want to get the bed
put together now that
it's here
641
00:28:37,266 --> 00:28:39,567
because the bed's not as tall
as I think
642
00:28:39,567 --> 00:28:41,066
I would have liked it.
But I don't know.
643
00:28:41,066 --> 00:28:42,500
I think we need
to get it together
644
00:28:42,500 --> 00:28:44,767
and then see on placement.
645
00:28:44,767 --> 00:28:46,867
While the main level
is white boxed and painted
646
00:28:46,867 --> 00:28:49,767
and the floors are in,
there's still a long way
to go.
647
00:28:49,767 --> 00:28:51,500
But this bedroom
is low hanging fruit.
648
00:28:51,500 --> 00:28:53,100
It's something that
I've got the pieces for.
649
00:28:53,100 --> 00:28:55,166
It'd be really easy to pull
the rest together
650
00:28:55,166 --> 00:28:57,467
and make it look pretty
and have something
to show Steve.
651
00:28:57,467 --> 00:28:59,567
So I'm going to have him
come by in a couple of days
652
00:28:59,567 --> 00:29:01,200
just to see
the final exterior,
653
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,567
but then surprise him
with the finished bedroom.
654
00:29:03,567 --> 00:29:05,700
-This can be an easy lift
to get this wrapped out
-Totally.
655
00:29:05,700 --> 00:29:06,867
with the front of the house.
656
00:29:06,867 --> 00:29:10,200
And I can show this to Steve,
give him a little like...
657
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,567
nugget
658
00:29:11,567 --> 00:29:12,867
while we're working on
the rest of this house.
659
00:29:12,867 --> 00:29:15,700
-Yeah, this is just a little,
"Look what's happening."
-Mm-hmm.
660
00:29:33,300 --> 00:29:36,266
Steve's mom, like,
hunted forever
661
00:29:36,266 --> 00:29:38,667
and got us lions
from in front of our house.
662
00:29:38,667 --> 00:29:40,700
They mean a lot of things,
but it's supposed to be, like,
663
00:29:40,700 --> 00:29:42,367
protection and strength.
664
00:29:42,367 --> 00:29:44,100
-So cute.
-Steve had to get some
for the lake house.
665
00:29:44,100 --> 00:29:46,500
I love them. I love these.
I love the height.
666
00:29:46,500 --> 00:29:48,634
-I love the color.
-It worked out well.
667
00:29:49,166 --> 00:29:50,200
We did good.
668
00:29:55,867 --> 00:29:57,634
Oh, wow.
669
00:29:58,166 --> 00:29:59,400
I'm super excited.
670
00:30:07,100 --> 00:30:08,000

I want to tackle
a very important issue
for Steve.
731
00:32:43,900 --> 00:32:46,500
At the store,
when we flip the store
for Christmas,
732
00:32:46,500 --> 00:32:48,467
we have a mantle that
we use for staging.
733
00:32:48,467 --> 00:32:51,500
So why not look at it that way
like we don't need
734
00:32:51,500 --> 00:32:54,266
our stockings hung by
the chimney with care
all year round.
735
00:32:54,266 --> 00:32:56,100
-Right.
-Uh, I suppose not.
736
00:32:56,100 --> 00:32:57,700
When we decided to buy
this house,
737
00:32:57,700 --> 00:33:00,367
Steve was immediately drawn to
the mantle
738
00:33:00,367 --> 00:33:01,467
for sentimental reasons.
739
00:33:01,467 --> 00:33:02,567
-But I...
-I absolutely love this.
740
00:33:02,567 --> 00:33:04,567
-I love it.
-Well, we're gonna have to get
a mantle
741
00:33:04,567 --> 00:33:07,066
'cause we gotta hang
the stockings with care.
742
00:33:07,066 --> 00:33:08,800
-Yeah.
-[laughs]
743
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,500
I really like the idea of
not having a mantle,
744
00:33:11,500 --> 00:33:12,667
like the sleek look of it.
745
00:33:12,667 --> 00:33:15,600
But I think I have an idea
that we can both live with.
746
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,867
So what about doing
a removable mantle here?
747
00:33:18,867 --> 00:33:20,967
And that would not be
a permanent fixture?
748
00:33:20,967 --> 00:33:23,000
All it's going to do is hang
the stockings,
749
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,166
and then it can go up like
with the Christmas decor
750
00:33:26,166 --> 00:33:27,367
and then come down.
751
00:33:27,367 --> 00:33:30,467
-I think it's a good
compromise.
-Well, of course you do.
752

Even if we have a compromise
on the fireplace,
759
00:33:45,266 --> 00:33:48,100
the big challenge in
the property is marrying
760
00:33:48,100 --> 00:33:51,100
this mid-century
modern style with
my style that's a little bit
761
00:33:51,100 --> 00:33:53,734
more muted and definitely
a little more cozy.
762
00:33:57,367 --> 00:33:58,867
-This is what I have.
-Okay.
763
00:33:58,867 --> 00:34:02,300

general idea of the vibe.
764
00:34:02,300 --> 00:34:05,200
It's kind of this mash-up
of mid-century modern,

-Mm-hmm.
-but also cabin.

-I do have this.
-Oh, lovely.
767
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,266
I bought our silverware
because this is,
768
00:34:13,266 --> 00:34:14,700
like, how I can do
mid-century modern.
769
00:34:14,700 --> 00:34:17,767
Because this green color
is very mid-century modern,
770
00:34:17,767 --> 00:34:19,867
but I want all the things
that lean into that
771
00:34:19,867 --> 00:34:23,467
to be more impermanent pieces,
because it's not really
my style,
772
00:34:23,467 --> 00:34:24,767
-it's not really your style.
-Right.
773
00:34:24,767 --> 00:34:27,166
But the house is so cool,
I wanted to have
a little bit of it.
774
00:34:27,166 --> 00:34:31,166
-Yeah.
-The kitchen is definitely
like a riff on ours.

00:34:31,166 --> 00:34:32,867
You're in my shirt, actually.
776
00:34:32,867 --> 00:34:35,700
-Somewhere in between is
the cabinet color.
-Blend that together
777
00:34:35,700 --> 00:34:37,700
-and that's what it is? Okay.
-I want to do a simpler door.
778
00:34:37,700 --> 00:34:39,467
-Right.
-That'll be all cabinet pulls.
779
00:34:39,467 --> 00:34:41,066
One thing I love that
we did here,
780
00:34:41,066 --> 00:34:43,000
even though I don't cook
a ton, you cook
a little bit more,
781
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,100
having the backsplash go up
behind the stove
782
00:34:45,100 --> 00:34:48,066
I think has been huge.
It's so much easier to clean.
783
00:34:48,066 --> 00:34:49,800
Would you like
to replicate that?
784
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,967
-That we have now?
-Yeah, like instead of tile.
785
00:34:51,967 --> 00:34:53,467
-Yeah, tile.
-Yeah.
786
00:34:53,467 --> 00:34:56,000
And I do want to do
a much simpler hood.
787
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,000
I don't have my heart set on
anything in particular.
788
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,467
And I haven't picked out
the stone yet for
789
00:34:59,467 --> 00:35:01,467
the backsplash or the island,
but the island
790
00:35:01,467 --> 00:35:03,200
is going to be huge.
791
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,367
So we can do chairs around
all three sides of it.
792
00:35:05,367 --> 00:35:08,700
[laughs] Why are you laughing
at me?
793
00:35:08,700 --> 00:35:11,000

in the chairs.

00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:11,867
Okay.
795
00:35:11,867 --> 00:35:13,800
We're gonna have parties,
796
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,266
people are gonna sit
in the chairs,
797
00:35:15,266 --> 00:35:17,500
and they're gonna love them,
and they're gonna be wipeable

-when they spill stuff
on them.
-Mm-hmm.

Steve isn't convinced that
this is ever gonna happen,
800

'cause we historically
haven't done a lot of hosting,

but I've just been working
so much,
802

there's just never really
been time.
803
00:35:28,367 --> 00:35:31,166
But the hope is with
a little bit slower lifestyle,
804
00:35:31,166 --> 00:35:33,066
we can host extended family.
805
00:35:33,066 --> 00:35:35,100
So I want the kids' rooms
to function for the kids,
806
00:35:35,100 --> 00:35:37,867
but also be grown up
enough that adults
could stay in there
807
00:35:37,867 --> 00:35:39,100
and then work for them.
808
00:35:39,100 --> 00:35:42,166
-For Jack's, we've got this.
-Mm-hmm.

greens, these various plaids,

-Hmm-hmm.
811
00:35:47,100 --> 00:35:48,900
Jack is going to be much
more adult.
812
00:35:48,900 --> 00:35:50,767
So I'm going to have to throw
some fun things in.
813

So when we actually show it
to him, he's excited.

some dinosaurs in there

on the ceiling.
818
00:36:00,300 --> 00:36:02,266
Right. Yeah, you've been
talking about that for a bit.
819
00:36:02,266 --> 00:36:05,100
I think she'll get
a kick out of just painting
the whole thing pink,
820
00:36:05,100 --> 00:36:07,100
and then everything else
will be just as fun.

Ooh, Charlie with the unicorn.
822
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,266
We have to have a unicorn
in there for her.
823
00:36:11,266 --> 00:36:12,867
All she cares about
is unicorns and pinks.
824
00:36:12,867 --> 00:36:14,700

00:36:40,300 --> 00:36:42,600
And I want to go a little wild
with the mirrors.
838
00:36:45,867 --> 00:36:47,734
The mirrors are massive.
839
00:36:50,900 --> 00:36:52,000
[screams]
840
00:36:53,100 --> 00:36:54,900
They don't fit between
the lights.
841
00:36:56,767 --> 00:36:58,233
The mirrors I have
are massive.
842
00:37:00,867 --> 00:37:03,100
[screams]
843
00:37:03,100 --> 00:37:05,900
-They don't fit between
the lights.
-[Brittany] Oh, my God.
844
00:37:05,900 --> 00:37:08,266
-But they're so cool.
-[MJ] Oh, wow.
845
00:37:08,266 --> 00:37:09,667
What is happening in here?
846
00:37:09,667 --> 00:37:11,900
It's not that it's ugly
or bad.
847
00:37:11,900 --> 00:37:15,100
It's just these mirrors
are so frilly and whimsical
848
00:37:15,100 --> 00:37:17,500
and not your typical
sleeker style.
849
00:37:17,500 --> 00:37:19,100
And I feel like
I don't know you anymore.
850
00:37:19,100 --> 00:37:20,433
That's what I was going
to say.
851
00:37:20,433 --> 00:37:22,266
-It's probably not something
you ever thought I would pick.
-Yeah.
852
00:37:22,266 --> 00:37:24,967
-So he's confused about me
as a human at this moment.
-Yeah.
853
00:37:24,967 --> 00:37:28,567
Looking at it now,
because I have not seen
the vanity,
854
00:37:28,567 --> 00:37:29,867
I kind of like the...
855
00:37:29,867 --> 00:37:31,367
-The glossy?
-Yeah.
856
00:37:31,367 --> 00:37:32,567
[Mina] The mirrors are large.
857
00:37:32,567 --> 00:37:34,367
And with the mirrors up,
858
00:37:34,367 --> 00:37:36,900
the lights don't fit.
859
00:37:36,900 --> 00:37:39,367
Worst case scenario,
I'll have to get
a different fixture
860
00:37:39,367 --> 00:37:41,300
and get one
that's more like a tube.
861
00:37:41,300 --> 00:37:43,467
I like the mirrors enough that
I would adjust the lights.
862
00:37:43,467 --> 00:37:44,834
-Totally.
-I think it's great.
863
00:37:44,834 --> 00:37:47,867
I love the texture.
I love the shape.
These are great. Nailed it.
864
00:37:47,867 --> 00:37:49,300
[Mina] Okay.
865
00:37:52,900 --> 00:37:55,000
While I think I have
a good plan for
the lake house,
866
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,667
Brittany and I need
to figure out a plan
867
00:37:56,667 --> 00:37:58,100
for wrapping up District Co.
868
00:37:58,100 --> 00:37:59,367
Good morning.
869
00:37:59,367 --> 00:38:00,967
Hey, what's going on?
870
00:38:00,967 --> 00:38:04,066
[Mina] Because I've made
the tough call to close
its doors.
871
00:38:04,066 --> 00:38:07,767
It feels like a failure,
but we got to do it.
872
00:38:07,767 --> 00:38:09,967
And while I want to talk
through the plan
873
00:38:09,967 --> 00:38:12,567
-Okay.
-as we are getting closer,
874
00:38:12,567 --> 00:38:15,100
like these big shelves
I'm a little worried about
875
00:38:15,100 --> 00:38:17,200
-just 'cause they're so big.
-Yeah.
876
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,100
We could probably
try to sell them
to someone else
877
00:38:20,100 --> 00:38:21,400
who has a store.
878
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,166
The small furniture pieces,
I think we can clearance
879
00:38:24,166 --> 00:38:25,900
-until we get to close day.
-Okay.
880
00:38:25,900 --> 00:38:28,133
Now that I've made
the decision to close
the store,
881
00:38:29,100 --> 00:38:32,200
I think the emotional stuff
will come in waves.
882
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,367
So really going into
problem solving planning mode
883
00:38:35,367 --> 00:38:38,266
is I think what has
to happen now.
884
00:38:38,266 --> 00:38:40,400
But when I'm in it,
when I'm in my head
about it,
885
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:41,767
I feel like I'm failing
at everything.
886
00:38:41,767 --> 00:38:45,767
I mean, we opened
literally like smack dab
in the middle of COVID.
887
00:38:45,767 --> 00:38:47,667
Brick and mortar's
hard enough as it is.
888
00:38:47,667 --> 00:38:48,700
Yeah, it's a lot.
889
00:38:48,700 --> 00:38:49,867
Steve's very upset about it.
890
00:38:49,867 --> 00:38:50,800
I know.
891
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,133
He hates to see it go.
892
00:38:53,066 --> 00:38:55,667
Owning the building
and the store has been
893
00:38:55,667 --> 00:38:58,500
a really cool experience
for my family.
894
00:38:58,500 --> 00:39:00,300
Jack and Charlie have
grown up there.
895
00:39:00,300 --> 00:39:02,567
They play hide and seek
like they're at home.
896
00:39:02,567 --> 00:39:04,867
I feel like I have
an emotional attachment to it
897
00:39:04,867 --> 00:39:07,066
just because there are
memories there.
898
00:39:07,066 --> 00:39:10,767
It's hard. It's hard
to see it not prosper
899
00:39:10,767 --> 00:39:13,467
and be what we thought it
was going to be, but.
900
00:39:13,467 --> 00:39:15,567
So kind of a plan,
an idea of a plan.
901
00:39:15,567 --> 00:39:19,166
The main plan is just
keeping it full until
we need it empty.
902
00:39:19,166 --> 00:39:20,367
Okay.
903
00:39:27,166 --> 00:39:29,266
To save costs,
I'm installing as many of
904
00:39:29,266 --> 00:39:31,767
these kitchen cabinets
as I can myself.
905
00:39:31,767 --> 00:39:34,000
But I have a couple custom
projects for this house
906
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,233
that are gonna be worth
the extra little splurge.
907
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,367
Good morning.
908
00:39:41,367 --> 00:39:42,867
-Hey, Mina.
-Good morning.
909
00:39:42,867 --> 00:39:43,967
Good morning.
910
00:39:43,967 --> 00:39:46,300
I'm in Osgoode today,
and I'm meeting with the boys
911
00:39:46,300 --> 00:39:48,800
because I've asked them
to do three custom projects
912
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:49,867
for the lake house.
913
00:39:49,867 --> 00:39:52,867
So I had them come out earlier
on in construction,
914
00:39:52,867 --> 00:39:54,600
and we brainstormed
some ideas.
915
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,867
And the first one is
a sleek kind of
coffee bar thing
916
00:39:57,867 --> 00:39:59,767
right off the kitchen
in the dining room.
917
00:39:59,767 --> 00:40:02,667
So my thought is some
kind of built-in.
918
00:40:02,667 --> 00:40:05,567
The one that I liked had...
919
00:40:05,567 --> 00:40:08,700
doors that came open
and then slid back down in
on the sides.
920
00:40:08,700 --> 00:40:11,100
With light wood
and some caning,
921
00:40:11,100 --> 00:40:13,567
which is going
to give it a little bit
of that mid-mod vibe.
922
00:40:13,567 --> 00:40:17,266
The second is a really nice,
modern, sleek coffee table
923
00:40:17,266 --> 00:40:19,567
for the living room
that basically just looks like
924
00:40:19,567 --> 00:40:22,266
a sheet of
slightly bent metal.
925
00:40:22,266 --> 00:40:24,767
And then I also want them
to build a lightweight,
926
00:40:24,767 --> 00:40:26,900
removable mantle as
a good compromise for
927
00:40:26,900 --> 00:40:28,533
Steve and I around
the fireplace.
928
00:40:30,166 --> 00:40:31,066
There it is.
929
00:40:31,066 --> 00:40:33,000
You made this in
your sleep, didn't you?
930
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,400
-[man] I did.
-[man 2] No, no, he didn't.
931
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,000
[Mina] I mean,
it's super simple,
but that's what I want.
932
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,100
I feel like with
the mid-century modern
933
00:40:40,100 --> 00:40:43,367
that the house leans to,
it needs to be
a little more simple.
934
00:40:43,367 --> 00:40:45,367
The only thing
I'm thinking is, like,
935
00:40:45,367 --> 00:40:47,667
maybe flattening
the 90 degrees so we have,
936
00:40:47,667 --> 00:40:49,100
like, a little bit
more detail.
937
00:40:49,100 --> 00:40:50,500
-It's lightweight.
-Mm-hmm.
938
00:40:50,500 --> 00:40:53,800
-It's going to do its job,
which is to hang stockings.
-[man] Mm-hmm.
939
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,667
This is its only purpose,
because this comes down
940
00:40:56,667 --> 00:40:58,367
when it's not Christmas.
941
00:40:58,367 --> 00:40:59,266
I like it.
942
00:40:59,266 --> 00:41:01,300
-Sweet.
-I'm excited to see
the cabinet.
943
00:41:03,166 --> 00:41:05,667
-Okay. It's beautiful.
-[all laughing]
944
00:41:05,667 --> 00:41:07,300
This is beautiful.
945
00:41:07,300 --> 00:41:09,967
We're waiting on
the pivot door slides,
946
00:41:09,967 --> 00:41:11,500
-[Mina] Okay.
-you know, to open
and slide back.
947
00:41:11,500 --> 00:41:12,700
And I think
they're coming in today.
948
00:41:12,700 --> 00:41:14,266
That's a beautiful box,
you guys.
949
00:41:14,266 --> 00:41:16,266
You want to know what's
even more beautiful?
950
00:41:16,266 --> 00:41:17,567
-The coffee table?
-The coffee table.
951
00:41:17,567 --> 00:41:18,667
-You want me to say it?
-Yeah.
952
00:41:18,667 --> 00:41:19,834
-Yes.
-Okay.
953
00:41:21,066 --> 00:41:22,700
-Can I take this off?
-Yeah.
954
00:41:25,500 --> 00:41:28,667
Nice! So then, like,
the metal will just overlay,
955
00:41:28,667 --> 00:41:30,166
-like, just drape onto it.
-Yeah.
956
00:41:30,166 --> 00:41:32,166
The single sheet down here,
and then...
957
00:41:32,166 --> 00:41:34,700
-I love it. Yeah.
-...the sheet that curves down
to the floor.
958
00:41:34,700 --> 00:41:35,800
I love it.
959
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,266
-So...
-Do you have chips so
we can look at color?
960
00:41:38,266 --> 00:41:39,767
-I have three.
-Okay.
961
00:41:39,767 --> 00:41:42,100
Because I'm thinking just,
like, a creamy color.
962
00:41:42,100 --> 00:41:44,767
-The shape and the size
are perfect.
-Okay.
963
00:41:44,767 --> 00:41:47,066
Right now, it looks
very industrial
964
00:41:47,066 --> 00:41:48,500
because it's not been
powder-coated,
965
00:41:48,500 --> 00:41:50,967
but once it's powder-coated,
it's just gonna look like
966
00:41:50,967 --> 00:41:54,066
this nice, smooth,
like, creamy waterfall.
967
00:41:54,066 --> 00:41:55,700
We could go over to the CNC
and cut the plate
968
00:41:55,700 --> 00:41:57,200
that's gonna be laying over
top of this.
969
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,600
-So, here's some glasses.
-Thank you.
970
00:41:59,900 --> 00:42:00,767
Who else wants some?
971
00:42:00,767 --> 00:42:02,500
These always make us
look so cool.
972
00:42:03,500 --> 00:42:04,533
[machine whirring]
973
00:42:06,700 --> 00:42:07,734
I looked at it.
974
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:09,634
I jumped.
975
00:42:11,066 --> 00:42:13,266
All right,
you can control this.
976
00:42:13,266 --> 00:42:15,567
Literally, you see this?
Go ahead and click it.
977
00:42:15,567 --> 00:42:16,834
-It's not a touchscreen.
-Nope.
978
00:42:16,967 --> 00:42:18,000
Okay.
979
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,400
-Ready?
-[Caleb] Yeah.
980
00:42:20,767 --> 00:42:22,600
-Oh! Oh, no!
-[screams]
981
00:42:23,767 --> 00:42:25,000
That's not good.
982
00:42:25,467 --> 00:42:27,500
Oy, oy, oy.
983
00:42:30,867 --> 00:42:32,133
Okay.
984
00:42:33,967 --> 00:42:35,700
-Ready?
-[Caleb] Yeah.
985
00:42:36,767 --> 00:42:39,133
-Oh! Oh, no!
-[screams]
986
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,233
[Mina] That's not good.
987
00:42:42,467 --> 00:42:44,567
My job was literally
to press two buttons,
988
00:42:44,567 --> 00:42:46,800
and one of the two
I pressed was wrong.
989
00:42:47,367 --> 00:42:49,600
So instead of cutting
this way,
990
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,667
I cut into the top
of the coffee table.
991
00:42:51,667 --> 00:42:54,200
Unless you want, you know,
maybe that's just like
992
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:55,500
a small detail, you know?
993
00:42:55,500 --> 00:42:59,266
-I'll just use the other half
for something else.
-The shelf.
994
00:42:59,266 --> 00:43:00,400
-The shelf.
-Yeah.
995
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:01,500
That's perfect.
996
00:43:01,500 --> 00:43:03,600
-Yeah, it works out.
-It's perfect.
997
00:43:10,367 --> 00:43:11,300
Perfect.
998
00:43:12,066 --> 00:43:13,233
That was so easy.
999
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,333
All right,
let's take it over there.
1000
00:43:25,367 --> 00:43:26,533
[Mina] Okay.
1001
00:43:28,467 --> 00:43:30,700
-I feel like that...
-It's pretty tight.
1002
00:43:30,700 --> 00:43:32,000
...is pretty good.
1003
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:37,767
-Whoa.
-It's not bad.
1004
00:43:37,767 --> 00:43:39,033
Not too bad.
1005
00:43:40,867 --> 00:43:43,400
-This is ginger power.
-It is ginger power.
1006
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:44,567
I feel like we need
like a chant,
1007
00:43:44,567 --> 00:43:45,967
like a ginger chant
or something.
1008
00:43:45,967 --> 00:43:47,867
-But we'll workshop that.
-Yeah, workshop that.
1009
00:43:47,867 --> 00:43:49,000
Let me know.
1010
00:43:49,867 --> 00:43:51,700
The lake house is going
really well.
1011
00:43:51,700 --> 00:43:54,166
The main suite's bathroom
is going to be pretty simple
1012
00:43:54,166 --> 00:43:56,266
with marble tile
and a dark gray vanity.
1013
00:43:56,266 --> 00:43:58,800
But I'm probably most excited
about Charlie's room.
1014
00:44:02,266 --> 00:44:05,200
You have your arm around him.
Oh, my God, you guys
are so cute.
1015
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,233
Will you always be this nice
to each other?
1016
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,166
[all] Ooh.
1017
00:44:14,166 --> 00:44:17,066
We are painting Charlie's
bedroom ceiling today,
1018
00:44:17,066 --> 00:44:19,567
which is a very unpleasant
thing to do.
1019
00:44:19,567 --> 00:44:21,767
But she was in love
with pink and sparkles
1020
00:44:21,767 --> 00:44:23,400
from the time she knew
what they were.
1021
00:44:24,100 --> 00:44:26,867
Now you guys can paint
the canvas.
1022
00:44:26,867 --> 00:44:28,967
-[Charlie] Can we do it now?
-[Mina] Yeah.
1023
00:44:28,967 --> 00:44:30,900
[Steve] Yeah, go crazy.
1024
00:44:30,900 --> 00:44:32,800
[Mina]
While I was packing up
the paint supplies,
1025
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,300
I was like, how are we going
to keep them busy?
1026
00:44:34,300 --> 00:44:36,367
-Because they can't actually
help painting.
-[Steve] That's a good idea.
1027
00:44:36,367 --> 00:44:38,500
So I just grabbed the canvas
and threw it in the car.
1028
00:44:38,500 --> 00:44:39,567
Yeah, that's a good idea.
1029
00:44:39,567 --> 00:44:42,400
So they could paint that
while we paint the ceiling.
1030
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,000
Now we have art for her room
that will match.
1031
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:44,634
Yeah.
1032
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,066
You guys are doing great.
1033
00:44:48,066 --> 00:44:50,000
[Jack] Mom,
I'm doing the edges.
1034
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,867
Char Char loves pink,
so I'm doing the whole thing.
1035
00:44:53,867 --> 00:44:55,433
All the edges pink.
1036
00:44:55,767 --> 00:44:57,166
-Char Char.
-Yeah?
1037
00:44:57,166 --> 00:44:58,667
Are you going to sleep in
your crib
1038
00:44:58,667 --> 00:45:00,367
or in the big bed in here?
1039
00:45:00,367 --> 00:45:02,667
-Big bed.
-You're going to sleep in
the big bed?
1040
00:45:02,667 --> 00:45:03,600
Yeah.
1041
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,667
The idea is that
they're both the kids' rooms
1042
00:45:05,667 --> 00:45:07,667
are going to serve as
adult rooms
1043
00:45:07,667 --> 00:45:09,467
when other guests come.
1044
00:45:09,467 --> 00:45:11,000
Because I don't know
how Charlie is going
1045
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,367
to sleep in a big bed.
1046
00:45:13,367 --> 00:45:15,400
She doesn't sit still.
She doesn't know how
to sit still.
1047
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,467
-She doesn't.
-Um...
1048
00:45:17,467 --> 00:45:18,867
[Charlie exclaiming]
1049
00:45:18,867 --> 00:45:21,000
I mean, literally,
I'm listening to her.
1050
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,367
I think this is going
to look super cute.
1051
00:45:23,367 --> 00:45:24,600
[Jack] Yeah, me too.
1052
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:28,800
This will be the best thing
in our whole life.
1053
00:45:29,767 --> 00:45:31,700
The best thing
of our whole life.
1054
00:45:36,500 --> 00:45:38,000
So glad.
1055
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,867
[Mina] So much has been coming
together at the lake house.
1056
00:45:43,867 --> 00:45:46,066
We switched out the lights
in the kids' bathroom
1057
00:45:46,066 --> 00:45:49,233
to something skinnier so
we can fit those amazing ears.
1058
00:45:50,100 --> 00:45:52,266
The kids' rooms both
have sconces installed
1059
00:45:52,266 --> 00:45:53,200
where the beds will go.
1060
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,233
Charlie's are gold
and Jack's are black.
1061
00:45:56,100 --> 00:45:58,700
And the rest of our electrical
is finishing up.
1062
00:45:58,700 --> 00:46:01,266
So that all looks good,
but this is where things
1063
00:46:01,266 --> 00:46:03,166
are really messed up.
1064
00:46:03,166 --> 00:46:04,700
There's a problem
with the countertops.
1065
00:46:05,567 --> 00:46:09,600
Mainly that they are in,
and they should not be.
1066
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,100
The green and the brown
next to the cream cabinets
1067
00:46:12,100 --> 00:46:14,200
-just looks terrible.
-Yeah, I don't like it.
1068
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:18,266
I don't want it.
And this is $12,000 worth of
1069
00:46:18,266 --> 00:46:20,800
countertops that
I did not approve.
1070
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,734
This is $12,000 worth of
countertops
1071
00:46:26,734 --> 00:46:28,300
that I did not approve.
1072
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:33,000
-This slab has
a lot of green in it.
-Lots.
1073
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:34,100
And I feel like
a real butthole.
1074
00:46:34,100 --> 00:46:36,100
It like stands out
in a bad way.
1075
00:46:36,100 --> 00:46:37,767
No one's going
to think it's ugly.
1076
00:46:37,767 --> 00:46:39,367
It's just not working.
1077
00:46:39,367 --> 00:46:40,533
[Steve] Why is it here then?
1078
00:46:40,533 --> 00:46:43,100
-So there's the supplier
and there's the cutter.
-Mm-hmm.
1079
00:46:43,100 --> 00:46:45,734
They had to bring in two slabs
from Wisconsin.
1080
00:46:45,734 --> 00:46:47,567
They were going
to bring them in,
1081
00:46:47,567 --> 00:46:50,000
let me look at them,
and if I wanted them,
1082
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,367
-they would be
a viable option.
-Gotcha.
1083
00:46:52,367 --> 00:46:55,200
Then I got a phone call from
the cutter asking
1084
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:56,734
for the door code 'cause
the guys are here
1085
00:46:56,734 --> 00:46:57,600
to install the countertops.
1086
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,100
-Oh.
-And I said,
"What countertops?"
1087
00:46:59,100 --> 00:47:00,667
He's like, "Your countertops."
1088
00:47:00,667 --> 00:47:03,400
I was like, "No, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no."
1089
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,400
I didn't approve of this.
No one ever called me.
1090
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,000
And by the time I got here,
this was all installed.
1091
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:10,266
[Steve] Hmm-hmm.
1092
00:47:10,266 --> 00:47:12,667
And then I went left here
and went directly to
1093
00:47:12,667 --> 00:47:14,467
the stone supplier.
1094
00:47:14,467 --> 00:47:16,300
Brittany and I are
at the stone place.
1095
00:47:18,367 --> 00:47:20,900
This is the piece
that they installed.
1096
00:47:20,900 --> 00:47:22,767
This is so much more,
like, gray-white,
1097
00:47:22,767 --> 00:47:25,467
whereas this has, like,
a green color to it.
1098
00:47:25,467 --> 00:47:29,867
What I saw was a very,
like, creamy, like,
1099
00:47:29,867 --> 00:47:31,800
-little bit blush in it.
It was very pretty.
-Okay.
1100
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,266
I don't have
a signed estimate.
1101
00:47:33,266 --> 00:47:35,800
I didn't have a signed,
like, layout of the cuts.
1102
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:37,066
Yikes.
1103
00:47:37,066 --> 00:47:40,300
-I told cutter and supplier,
this is between you guys.
-Okay.
1104
00:47:40,300 --> 00:47:42,200
So they had to come
uninstall this.
1105
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,567
This is not something
that I am going to eat, 100%,
1106
00:47:44,567 --> 00:47:45,867
'cause there is not
a signature
1107
00:47:45,867 --> 00:47:48,166
or an email
confirming anything from me
1108
00:47:48,166 --> 00:47:50,500
to either middleman
or supplier.
1109
00:47:50,500 --> 00:47:53,467
So I suggested that they...
1110
00:47:53,467 --> 00:47:54,667
figure it out between
the two of them,
1111
00:47:54,667 --> 00:47:56,367
'cause I don't have
a dog in that fight.
1112
00:47:56,367 --> 00:47:58,734
I think the vein that
we have at home,
1113
00:47:58,734 --> 00:48:00,667
-I think that's what
I want to go with.
-Great.
1114
00:48:00,667 --> 00:48:04,166
I just don't want to pay
this much for counters
I don't want.
1115
00:48:04,166 --> 00:48:05,266
And I feel badly.
1116
00:48:05,266 --> 00:48:07,867
I mess up a lot of stuff,
and I didn't mess this up.
1117
00:48:07,867 --> 00:48:10,100
The countertops are one of
the most expensive things
anyways,
1118
00:48:10,100 --> 00:48:11,900
and we definitely can't afford
to pay for them twice.
1119
00:48:11,900 --> 00:48:13,066
-Yeah.
-That's what it comes down to.
1120
00:48:13,066 --> 00:48:15,000
So the plan is to remove
the old counters
1121
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:15,934
and install new ones,
1122
00:48:15,934 --> 00:48:17,800
just like the ones
in our current house,
1123
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:19,200
the statuario quartz.
1124
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:20,567
It's got a little bit
of veining.
1125
00:48:20,567 --> 00:48:21,600
It looks more like a marble.
1126
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,467
And that same stone will
also be the backsplash.
1127
00:48:24,467 --> 00:48:27,100
This is our family home.
1128
00:48:27,100 --> 00:48:30,400
We're not going to start out
with it raw.
1129
00:48:33,367 --> 00:48:35,700
Those two tables
and then the rugs.
1130
00:48:37,367 --> 00:48:38,433
I think that's it.
1131
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,066
It's a sad day.
1132
00:48:42,066 --> 00:48:44,100
We're moving out of
District Co.
1133
00:48:44,100 --> 00:48:47,300
And by the end of the day,
this place will be empty.
1134
00:48:47,300 --> 00:48:51,967
I think the store,
it's this nice reminder
1135
00:48:51,967 --> 00:48:55,967
of all the hard work
over the last 10 years.
1136
00:48:55,967 --> 00:48:58,300
And just not going in
and seeing that reminder
1137
00:48:58,300 --> 00:49:00,600
on a daily or weekly basis
is going to be different.
1138
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,000
It's pretty empty inside.
1139
00:49:03,767 --> 00:49:04,700
All right.
1140
00:49:05,900 --> 00:49:07,200
Oh, my goodness.
1141
00:49:12,266 --> 00:49:14,667
-[Steve]
It's crazy seeing it empty.
-Yeah.
1142
00:49:14,667 --> 00:49:17,166
[Steve] It's weird.
It almost looks
smaller with everything gone.
1143
00:49:17,166 --> 00:49:20,367
I remember the grand opening
like it was yesterday.
1144
00:49:20,367 --> 00:49:22,000
[Mina] We bought this
forever ago.
1145
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,867
Everyone here on our team all
did stuff to make it happen.
1146
00:49:25,867 --> 00:49:28,600
-It's just really exciting.
-[all clapping]
1147
00:49:30,367 --> 00:49:31,333
Jack, come here.
1148
00:49:31,767 --> 00:49:33,800
Okay. Why?
1149
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:35,467
Look, do you know
who that one is?

00:49:37,266 --> 00:49:38,667
-What?
-Do you know who that is?
1152
00:49:38,667 --> 00:49:40,000
-No.
-[Steve] That's Charlie.
1153
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:40,934
That's Charlie.
1154

had passed away,
1161

I was there working at

and we did the big reveal,

00:50:28,300 --> 00:50:30,467
we're now walking away from,
1171
00:50:30,467 --> 00:50:32,000
and things are
very different.
1172
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:33,600
I'm gonna miss coming here
with you.
1173
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:35,767
This is our hangout.
1174
00:50:35,767 --> 00:50:38,066
[Mina]
We'll have a new hangout.
We'll make a new hangout.
1175
00:50:38,066 --> 00:50:39,900
I think it's really nice
to have the kids there
1176
00:50:39,900 --> 00:50:43,400
because while this is
going to be harder
for Steve and I,
1177
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,567
the kids have got
to have great memories here,
1178
00:50:45,567 --> 00:50:46,867
and they're going
to make great memories
1179
00:50:46,867 --> 00:50:49,000
at whatever the next thing is.
1180
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,900
And that's just a nice,
like, kind of light,
1181
00:50:51,900 --> 00:50:55,000
refreshing reminder that
this feels like a really good,
1182
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,967
new, fresh start,
that it's all okay.
1183
00:50:56,967 --> 00:50:58,467
-You want to say goodbye?
-Goodbye.
1184
00:50:58,467 --> 00:51:01,000
-Goodbye, store.
-Goodbye, store.
1185
00:51:02,467 --> 00:51:05,433
♪♪ Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye ♪
1186
00:51:20,300 --> 00:51:23,100
I'm so excited
to see everything.
1187
00:51:23,100 --> 00:51:25,300
-She looks big.
-Pretty big coffee table.
1188
00:51:26,300 --> 00:51:29,333
-Ooh.
-You said 10 foot, right?
1189
00:51:31,166 --> 00:51:32,734
I love it.
1190
00:51:32,734 --> 00:51:35,000
-Clean and simple.
-You were able to get it
wrapped so nicely.
1191
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:36,133
I know.
1192
00:51:36,133 --> 00:51:38,867
-It is exactly what
I had in my head.
-[Caleb] Good.
1193
00:51:38,867 --> 00:51:41,667
The boys are bringing lots
of fun stuff today.
1194
00:51:41,667 --> 00:51:43,867
So they have
the coffee table that
1195
00:51:43,867 --> 00:51:45,600
I'm not necessarily
ready for.
1196
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,066
But it's done, which is great.
The fireplace mantel.
1197
00:51:48,066 --> 00:51:50,166
-I got a bunch of limestone
stacked there.
-Okay.
1198
00:51:50,166 --> 00:51:51,967
-So we can go set it in there
for now?
-Sure.
1199
00:51:51,967 --> 00:51:54,467
And then, like,
the little beverage
built-in thing.
1200
00:51:54,467 --> 00:51:56,934
It could be a coffee nook.
It could be, like,
a little bar.
1201
00:51:59,567 --> 00:52:01,233
Man, this thing sucks.
1202
00:52:03,266 --> 00:52:04,700
[groans]
1203
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,000
That's done.
1204
00:52:08,266 --> 00:52:11,000
-They put drywall
on the inside of that.
-Are you too tall?
1205
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,100
Yeah.
1206
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:15,333
Nothing ever is easy.
1207
00:52:16,166 --> 00:52:19,200
It's like a half inch
from going in.
1208
00:52:23,367 --> 00:52:25,300
They put drywall
on the inside of that.
1209
00:52:26,066 --> 00:52:29,800
Oh, okay.
Do we need to cut this out?
1210
00:52:30,367 --> 00:52:31,567
-Okay.
-It's like a half inch.
1211
00:52:31,567 --> 00:52:33,033
-Yeah.
-From going in.
1212
00:52:35,834 --> 00:52:37,533
Demo's never done.
1213
00:52:37,967 --> 00:52:39,400
[vocalizing]
1214
00:52:45,967 --> 00:52:47,533
-[Mina] We're good?
-I'm good.
1215
00:52:54,100 --> 00:52:55,600
I gotta go your way.
1216
00:52:58,967 --> 00:53:00,634
Whoo!
1217
00:53:01,900 --> 00:53:03,300
Nice.
1218
00:53:08,567 --> 00:53:10,667
Oh, that's so cute!
1219
00:53:10,667 --> 00:53:13,367
So the outside of
the coffee nook is just,
1220
00:53:13,367 --> 00:53:15,000
like, blonde oak.
1221
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:16,900
When you open it,
the inside upper cabinets
1222
00:53:16,900 --> 00:53:18,000
have the caning on them.
1223
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:19,333
Caning looks good.
1224
00:53:20,100 --> 00:53:21,500
-I do like that.
-Yeah.
1225
00:53:23,066 --> 00:53:23,967
There it is.
1226
00:53:25,100 --> 00:53:26,500
I think it's super cute.
1227
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:34,567
You got me in the car.
Where are we headed?
1228
00:53:34,567 --> 00:53:37,734
I have a new possible
1229
00:53:37,734 --> 00:53:39,266
business adventure.
1230
00:53:39,266 --> 00:53:41,767
-Is that right?
-In Noblesville.
1231
00:53:41,767 --> 00:53:44,100
-Noblesville.
-So it's a cute little suburb
1232
00:53:44,100 --> 00:53:46,767
about 30 minutes north
of downtown Indy.
1233
00:53:46,767 --> 00:53:50,000
-I want to take you up there
and kind of walk you
-Okay.
1234
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:51,066
through it.
1235
00:53:51,066 --> 00:53:53,667
How do you feel about
the possibility of reopening
1236
00:53:53,667 --> 00:53:54,734
the store?
1237
00:53:54,734 --> 00:53:55,834
That makes me really happy.
1238
00:53:55,834 --> 00:53:58,867
This guy actually reached out
to me on social media.
1239
00:53:58,867 --> 00:53:59,834
Okay.
1240
00:53:59,834 --> 00:54:03,166
He owns a couple
local businesses on the square
1241
00:54:03,166 --> 00:54:06,834
in Noblesville and sent me
some pictures of the space.
1242
00:54:06,834 --> 00:54:09,066
I've looked at it online,
like what was there.
1243
00:54:09,066 --> 00:54:10,600
-Lots of windows.
-That's great.
1244
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:11,767
Lots of eyeballs.
1245
00:54:11,767 --> 00:54:14,200
I mean, I think the biggest
selling point on this space
1246
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,667
-is its location on
the square.
-Yeah.
1247
00:54:16,667 --> 00:54:18,200
It's right by so many
other businesses.
1248
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,200
-There's so much foot traffic.
-That sounds awesome.
1249
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,667
Yeah, totally different
situation.
1250
00:54:23,667 --> 00:54:24,700
I'm excited to see it.
1251
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:26,433
I'm gonna show it to you.
1252
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:30,967
Like the little coffee shop's
right there.
1253
00:54:30,967 --> 00:54:33,567
-That bank is turning into
a new restaurant.
-Cool.
1254
00:54:33,567 --> 00:54:35,266
There's all kind
of cute stuff.
1255
00:54:35,266 --> 00:54:37,767
So it's these three spaces.
1256
00:54:37,767 --> 00:54:39,000
[Steve] Wow.
1257
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,600
-So we'd have
this whole storefront.
-[Steve] Three, right.
1258
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:42,400
Awesome.
1259
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,467
Every time I've been in
Noblesville,
1260
00:54:44,467 --> 00:54:46,400
-there's so many people.
-It's popping.
1261
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:47,367
Yeah, it's popping.
1262
00:54:47,367 --> 00:54:49,467
The majority of
the foot traffic that went by
1263
00:54:49,467 --> 00:54:51,567
the store downtown was people
walking their dogs.
1264
00:54:51,567 --> 00:54:52,400
They weren't out to shop.
1265
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,000
Like here, when you come
to the square,
1266
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:55,734
people are just like
wandering up and down.
1267
00:54:55,734 --> 00:54:58,066
They're loitering in like
the best way possible.
1268
00:54:58,066 --> 00:54:59,400
[Steve] There's so many
windows here.
1269
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,734
People will be able to see in,
see what's going on.
1270
00:55:01,734 --> 00:55:03,367
-I think that's going
to be huge.
-Yeah.
1271
00:55:03,367 --> 00:55:04,867
-Would you like to go inside?
-I'd love to.
1272
00:55:04,867 --> 00:55:05,900
We'll check it out.
1273
00:55:05,900 --> 00:55:08,400
So this will be
the main entrance,
the only door.
1274
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:09,133
Okay.
1275
00:55:10,867 --> 00:55:12,567
[Mina]
So there's three spaces.
1276
00:55:12,567 --> 00:55:16,300
So this space is super cool
because it has
1277
00:55:16,300 --> 00:55:18,166
-the full-height ceilings.
-Uh-huh.
1278
00:55:18,166 --> 00:55:22,066
And then over here,
this space, it's the smallest.
1279
00:55:22,066 --> 00:55:24,667
So this space will be all
the merchandise,
1280
00:55:24,667 --> 00:55:27,767
-like hoodies, T-shirts,
our mugs, stuff like that.
-Hmm-hmm.
1281
00:55:27,767 --> 00:55:29,567
And then the third space
would be, like,
1282
00:55:29,567 --> 00:55:32,133
-much more catered towards
the locals.
-Okay.
1283
00:55:34,066 --> 00:55:35,200
So...
1284
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:38,600
-This is the biggest... space.
-Yeah.
1285
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,300
I want this to be
not massive furniture,
1286
00:55:41,300 --> 00:55:44,000
but that mid-range,
so occasional chairs,
dining tables.
1287
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:47,967
-[Steve] I like it a lot.
-I think going into
this new life
1288
00:55:47,967 --> 00:55:50,867
for the store feels easier
now just because at
the old store,
1289
00:55:50,867 --> 00:55:52,500
we were really missing
that neighborhood piece
1290
00:55:52,500 --> 00:55:54,100
that I think we're going to
really get here
1291
00:55:54,100 --> 00:55:56,367
'cause people seemed excited
that live in the neighborhood.
1292
00:55:56,367 --> 00:55:59,266
I was super sad because...
1293
00:55:59,266 --> 00:56:03,834
Deciding to close Old Deco
felt very much like a failure.
1294
00:56:03,834 --> 00:56:06,834
And then this opportunity
coming along
1295
00:56:06,834 --> 00:56:08,900
-and getting to choose
it again...
-Right.
1296
00:56:09,266 --> 00:56:10,767
is something that
1297
00:56:10,767 --> 00:56:12,567
I don't think a lot of people
have the opportunity to do.
1298
00:56:12,567 --> 00:56:13,467
-Yeah.
-So I'm excited.
1299
00:56:13,467 --> 00:56:14,867
-New beginnings.
-I don't want to mess up.
1300
00:56:15,100 --> 00:56:16,200
[Steve] Yeah.
1301
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:24,867
The lake house
is going really well.
1302
00:56:24,867 --> 00:56:26,233
The kitchen's gonna be
so grand,
1303
00:56:26,233 --> 00:56:29,166
and I don't want the hood vent
to draw attention away
from that.
1304
00:56:29,166 --> 00:56:31,066
So we're keeping
it mid-mod by building out
1305
00:56:31,066 --> 00:56:32,834
a sleek drywall box,
which will be painted
1306
00:56:32,834 --> 00:56:34,900
the wall color so it blends
in perfectly.
1307
00:56:34,900 --> 00:56:36,834
And we're moving in
a massive stove,
1308
00:56:36,834 --> 00:56:39,900
which will be perfect
for all the big family
gatherings we'll have here.
1309
00:56:41,066 --> 00:56:42,500
[vocalizing]
1310
00:56:46,300 --> 00:56:47,967
Now that our appliances
are in,
1311
00:56:47,967 --> 00:56:50,867
we can finish out this kitchen
with a black and gold faucet
1312
00:56:50,867 --> 00:56:53,367
and the very sleek
mid-century modern
light fixture
1313
00:56:53,367 --> 00:56:55,000
over the dining room table.
1314
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:56,867
[MJ] I mean,
that's the showstopper
right there.
1315
00:56:56,867 --> 00:56:59,333
That's the very, very
first one I bought.
1316
00:57:00,066 --> 00:57:01,467
Love that.
1317
00:57:01,467 --> 00:57:03,367
-That was the inspiration
for everything.
-Yeah, that set the mood.
1318
00:57:03,367 --> 00:57:05,000
It's like a nod
to mid-century,
1319
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:06,734
but it's like
the Mina version.
1320
00:57:06,734 --> 00:57:07,533
[Mina] Yeah.
1321
00:57:07,533 --> 00:57:08,967
Now we're finally able
to move in
1322
00:57:08,967 --> 00:57:10,400
and show Steve and the kids.
1323
00:57:10,967 --> 00:57:12,467
Oh, yeah, this will be great.
1324
00:57:12,467 --> 00:57:14,667
I wanna keep some of
the mid-century modern
elements
1325
00:57:14,667 --> 00:57:15,967
and respect out of the house,
1326
00:57:15,967 --> 00:57:20,367
but I like much more
monochromatic, comfortable,
1327
00:57:20,367 --> 00:57:21,767
because that's what
I want it to be.
1328
00:57:21,767 --> 00:57:24,867
I wanna cozy up on a couch
with a bunch of pillows
1329
00:57:24,867 --> 00:57:27,767
and put the fire on
and watch a movie
with the kids.
1330
00:57:27,767 --> 00:57:28,634
This is beautiful.
1331
00:57:28,634 --> 00:57:30,200
The couches obviously
aren't mid-mod,
1332
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:32,500
but I think it all works
together.
1333
00:57:38,367 --> 00:57:40,066
Are you guys so excited?
1334
00:57:40,066 --> 00:57:41,834
-Yeah.
-So excited.
1335
00:57:41,834 --> 00:57:43,467
What are you most
excited about?
1336
00:57:43,467 --> 00:57:45,567
-I see our room.
-Your rooms?
1337
00:57:45,567 --> 00:57:46,800
All right.
1338
00:57:47,734 --> 00:57:48,667
You guys want to go inside?
1339
00:57:48,667 --> 00:57:49,767
-Let's check it out.
-All right, let's go.
1340
00:57:49,767 --> 00:57:50,734
Excited.
1341
00:57:52,266 --> 00:57:53,200
[Mina] You ready?
1342
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:56,166
-Uh-huh.
-Bum, bum, bum.
1343
00:57:56,166 --> 00:57:58,867
Oh, my gosh.
1344
00:58:01,100 --> 00:58:02,100
You ready?
1345
00:58:02,100 --> 00:58:04,934
-Uh-huh.
-Bum, bum, bum.
1346
00:58:04,934 --> 00:58:07,300
Oh my gosh.
1347
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:12,867
Perfect. I love it.
1348
00:58:16,567 --> 00:58:18,367
So the pony walls
are gone, obviously.
1349
00:58:18,367 --> 00:58:20,066
[Steve] Yeah, I think that was
a good move.
1350
00:58:21,033 --> 00:58:22,767
I'm so glad we took it down.
1351
00:58:22,767 --> 00:58:23,967
[Mina] Didn't change
the square footage,
1352
00:58:23,967 --> 00:58:25,967
-but it feels so much bigger.
-Yeah.
1353
00:58:25,967 --> 00:58:27,667
Because it's like this
is part of the living room
1354
00:58:27,667 --> 00:58:29,734
instead of this
awkward entryway.
1355
00:58:29,734 --> 00:58:31,867
-You got the right move.
-[Mina] Yeah.
1356
00:58:31,867 --> 00:58:34,467
-I want to talk about
the fireplace, me and Tom.
-Okay.
1357
00:58:34,467 --> 00:58:37,867
So very simple,
very lightweight,
and impermanent.
1358
00:58:37,867 --> 00:58:41,033
So it could be more
like a decor piece
1359
00:58:41,033 --> 00:58:42,767
that maybe stays out
all year round
1360
00:58:42,767 --> 00:58:43,867
'cause it looks good
with everything
1361
00:58:43,867 --> 00:58:45,734
-or maybe just comes out
for Christmas.
-Right, yeah.
1362
00:58:45,734 --> 00:58:48,667
So stockings hung by
the chimney with care.
1363
00:58:48,667 --> 00:58:51,133
[Steve] It's perfect
for the house.
1364
00:58:52,066 --> 00:58:54,467
-The coffee table.
-The coffee table is massive.
1365
00:58:54,467 --> 00:58:56,467
I wanted something long
and dramatic
1366
00:58:56,467 --> 00:58:59,266
that leaned a little into
the mid-century modern more.
1367
00:58:59,266 --> 00:59:01,500
-I love it all.
-[Jack] I can see.
1368
00:59:02,033 --> 00:59:03,500
Don't look in your room.
1369
00:59:03,667 --> 00:59:04,800
Why?
1370
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:06,467
Char Char, I think we need
to show you guys your rooms.
1371
00:59:06,467 --> 00:59:07,734
[Steve]
You want to go check out
your room?
1372
00:59:07,734 --> 00:59:10,100
-All right.
-Let's go to the bedrooms.
1373
00:59:12,500 --> 00:59:13,533
[Mina] All right.
1374
00:59:14,033 --> 00:59:14,700
Wow.
1375
00:59:16,066 --> 00:59:18,634
Holy cow, that's a big bed.
1376
00:59:21,467 --> 00:59:22,900
What do you think?
Do you like it?
1377
00:59:22,967 --> 00:59:23,734
Yeah.
1378
00:59:28,066 --> 00:59:29,600
[Steve] Look at
the big unicorn.
1379
00:59:32,500 --> 00:59:35,000
There's a unicorn.
There's a unicorn over here.
1380
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:39,300
We got pink pillows,
pink curtains,
and a pink ceiling.
1381
00:59:40,166 --> 00:59:41,166
Do you like it?
1382
00:59:42,066 --> 00:59:43,033
You do?
1383
00:59:43,033 --> 00:59:45,367
-Aw.
-Aw. I love you so much.
1384
00:59:45,367 --> 00:59:47,266
Mom, I'm going to my room.
1385
00:59:47,266 --> 00:59:49,667
All right. We'll go.
Let's go to Jack's room.
1386
00:59:49,667 --> 00:59:51,600
-Jack's room.
-[hums]
1387
00:59:54,767 --> 00:59:58,033
Welcome to Dinosaur Central,
1388
00:59:58,033 --> 01:00:00,100
where all your dinosaur dreams
1389
01:00:00,100 --> 01:00:02,233
-will come to life.
-[Steve] Oh, my goodness.
1390
01:00:04,500 --> 01:00:05,867
[Steve] Jack.
1391
01:00:13,066 --> 01:00:15,200
-What do you think?
-Cool.
1392
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:16,266
Is it cool?
1393
01:00:16,266 --> 01:00:17,700
-It's great.
-Yeah.
1394
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:24,567
-So happy that they love it.
-Yeah.
1395
01:00:24,567 --> 01:00:26,000
I mean, I knew
that they would,
1396
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:28,166
obviously,
but I'm just happy to see
1397
01:00:28,166 --> 01:00:30,734
the joy on their face
and to see them, like,
1398
01:00:30,734 --> 01:00:32,367
love their rooms.
1399
01:00:32,367 --> 01:00:33,867
I'm asking,
when can we stay here?
1400
01:00:33,867 --> 01:00:35,166
-Yeah.
-Let's go show you
your bathroom.
1401
01:00:35,166 --> 01:00:37,133
After that, I'm going
back in my room.
1402
01:00:40,967 --> 01:00:43,767
All right, this is
your guys' bathroom.
1403
01:00:43,767 --> 01:00:47,467
-Ooh, I love it.
-Do you like the mirrors?
1404
01:00:47,467 --> 01:00:48,533
Yeah.
1405
01:00:48,533 --> 01:00:50,834
-I fell in love with
these mirrors.
-[Steve] Yeah.
1406
01:00:50,834 --> 01:00:52,600
[Mina]
I was terrified and in love
1407
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:54,467
-with them all
at the same time.
-Yeah.
1408
01:00:54,467 --> 01:00:56,834
-[Mina] Everyone who's seen
them is like, "Yes."
-Yeah.
1409
01:00:56,834 --> 01:00:59,867
Before, the vanity was low
because it was that
old school,
1410
01:00:59,867 --> 01:01:02,800
-like, 30 inch height
double vanity.
-Oh, I remember. Yeah.
1411
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:06,166
[Mina] Now it's all nice
and clean.
1412
01:01:06,166 --> 01:01:08,467
And three-piece tub shower
surrounds.
1413
01:01:08,467 --> 01:01:10,767
Not going to leak.
There's no grout lines
we have to keep clean.
1414
01:01:10,767 --> 01:01:12,200
[Steve] I like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1415
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:13,667
Daddy hasn't seen
our bathroom.
1416
01:01:13,667 --> 01:01:15,100
Do you want to see
our bathroom?
1417
01:01:15,266 --> 01:01:16,166
Yeah.
1418
01:01:20,767 --> 01:01:23,000
You have shower, Mom.
1419
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:25,166
-Dang.
-Ta-da.
1420
01:01:25,166 --> 01:01:26,133
[Steve] I love it.
1421
01:01:26,133 --> 01:01:28,700
-So different, right?
-You have shower, Mom.
1422
01:01:30,166 --> 01:01:31,433
[Steve] There you go.
1423
01:01:32,100 --> 01:01:34,500
-That looks good.
-Nice 72-inch double vanity.
1424
01:01:34,500 --> 01:01:36,033
I love them.
1425
01:01:36,033 --> 01:01:37,967
-It turned out good.
-It turned out great.
1426
01:01:42,667 --> 01:01:44,767
You want to come with us
to show Daddy the kitchen?
1427
01:01:44,767 --> 01:01:46,000
Let's see the kitchen.
1428
01:01:52,934 --> 01:01:54,266
Holy cow.
1429
01:01:54,266 --> 01:01:56,500
[upbeat music playing]
1430
01:01:59,834 --> 01:02:01,133
That's huge.
1431
01:02:04,867 --> 01:02:07,100
-We've got the breakfast nook.
-Oh, perfect.
1432
01:02:07,100 --> 01:02:11,166
I feel like this is more
like cozy morning coffee.
1433
01:02:11,166 --> 01:02:13,266
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This island is wild.
1434
01:02:13,266 --> 01:02:14,800
I love it. It looks great.
1435
01:02:17,300 --> 01:02:20,166
-Dining room.
-Yeah, I love those chairs.
1436
01:02:20,166 --> 01:02:21,100
[Mina] I'm happy with
how it turned out.
1437
01:02:21,100 --> 01:02:23,066
[Steve] I love it.
I think it looks great.
1438
01:02:23,066 --> 01:02:24,467
Okay, you can stay put.
1439
01:02:24,467 --> 01:02:26,100
-Stay put?
-You just stay put, sir.
1440
01:02:26,100 --> 01:02:27,166
-I'm gonna stay put.
-Just stay put.
1441
01:02:27,166 --> 01:02:29,667
So right behind me was just
like a random closet.
1442
01:02:29,667 --> 01:02:31,367
Yes, I remember.
1443
01:02:31,367 --> 01:02:36,200
-And this is a custom
coffee nook.
-Ooh.
1444
01:02:36,567 --> 01:02:38,166
I love it.
1445
01:02:38,567 --> 01:02:40,166
-Good job.
-Do you?
1446
01:02:40,166 --> 01:02:41,667
Yeah, I absolutely love it.
1447
01:02:41,667 --> 01:02:44,200
Way to make good space
out of crappy space.
1448
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:45,500
Looks great.
1449
01:02:46,500 --> 01:02:50,066
-All right, on over to
the massive stove.
-Yes.
1450
01:02:50,667 --> 01:02:52,266
This is intense.
1451
01:02:52,266 --> 01:02:54,767
-How do you feel about
the hood?
-It blends right in.
1452
01:02:54,767 --> 01:02:56,200
You don't even notice it.
1453
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:57,467
That's kind of what I wanted.
1454
01:02:57,467 --> 01:02:58,934
-That's what
you're going with?
-It is.
1455
01:02:58,934 --> 01:03:01,567
You know, thinking back to
the original kitchen...
1456
01:03:01,567 --> 01:03:02,834
-Yeah!
-...it's crazy.
1457
01:03:05,100 --> 01:03:07,600
-[Mina] It's the exact same
square footage.
-[Steve] I know.
1458
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:10,000
-Didn't take down any walls.
-[Steve] It's crazy.
1459
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:12,500
-It feels so much bigger.
-[Steve] So much bigger.
1460
01:03:12,500 --> 01:03:14,867
-What do you think,
little lady?
-Isn't this house so pretty?
1461
01:03:14,867 --> 01:03:17,667
Mom, thank you so much
for building us
1462
01:03:17,667 --> 01:03:19,567
this incredible lake house.
1463
01:03:19,567 --> 01:03:21,200
Well, thank you guys
for helping.
1464
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:22,667
You did a really good job.
1465
01:03:22,667 --> 01:03:24,200
Super proud of you.
1466
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:26,266
I'm just glad
you guys like it.
1467
01:03:26,266 --> 01:03:28,266
We're gonna spend
a lot of time here, huh?
1468
01:03:28,266 --> 01:03:31,467
We got this house for
a steal at $510,000.
1469
01:03:31,467 --> 01:03:33,567
And while we had to downsize
the renovation
1470
01:03:33,567 --> 01:03:36,934
from our original plan,
we still invested $100,000
into it
1471
01:03:36,934 --> 01:03:38,834
to make the main level
and the outside
1472
01:03:38,834 --> 01:03:41,100
a calming retreat
for our family.
1473
01:03:41,100 --> 01:03:42,967
This whole place
is for family,
1474
01:03:42,967 --> 01:03:45,100
represents family
because of family.
1475
01:03:45,100 --> 01:03:49,233
And I think although
it's just a physical place,
1476
01:03:49,967 --> 01:03:53,000
That physical places
have meaning
1477
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:56,033
and that this can have
a lot of meaning for my family
1478
01:03:56,033 --> 01:04:00,967
as a whole, to be able
to have room
to spend time together
1479
01:04:00,967 --> 01:04:03,900
and have new experiences
and make new memories.
1480
01:04:07,567 --> 01:04:09,500
I don't know what's next
for me.
1481
01:04:09,500 --> 01:04:11,867
I'm not
1482
01:04:11,867 --> 01:04:13,867
content to end
1483
01:04:14,667 --> 01:04:15,734
where I am now.
1484
01:04:15,734 --> 01:04:18,600
But I don't want to be scared
1485
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:20,233
of what might happen.
1486
01:04:20,834 --> 01:04:22,367
So I'm going to slow down.
1487
01:04:22,367 --> 01:04:24,400
I probably won't
ever go slowly.
1488
01:04:24,867 --> 01:04:29,967
♪♪ I'm stronger than ever ♪
