1
00:00:00,806 --> 00:00:02,005
[Cory] What do we do
2
00:00:02,007 --> 00:00:03,907
-when you buy a house?
-It's a lot. It's a baby lot.
3
00:00:03,909 --> 00:00:05,509
This is a driveway!
4
00:00:05,511 --> 00:00:06,410
Mina!
5
00:00:06,412 --> 00:00:08,178
Frank barely fits
in the house.
6
00:00:09,715 --> 00:00:10,814
[Mina] You have
a lot of projects.
7
00:00:10,816 --> 00:00:12,282
I have one really big one
8
00:00:12,351 --> 00:00:13,550
that I'm about
to spring on you.
9
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:15,753
What?
10
00:00:17,857 --> 00:00:19,056
[exclaiming, laughing]
11
00:00:19,058 --> 00:00:20,524
[Mina] She's got a mean lean
12
00:00:20,526 --> 00:00:22,526
Why is our brand-new tree
falling over?
13
00:00:22,528 --> 00:00:23,593
[Cory] This is a mess, Mina.
14
00:00:23,662 --> 00:00:25,729
If buyers come and they see
this tree crooked,
15
00:00:25,731 --> 00:00:27,631
they're gonna wanna know
what else is wrong
with the house,
16
00:00:27,633 --> 00:00:28,599
and maybe done poorly.
17
00:00:28,601 --> 00:00:30,734
Okay, heave! [yells]
18
00:00:30,736 --> 00:00:32,302
[imitates trumpets]
19
00:00:32,304 --> 00:00:35,339
-Holy cow!
-Oh, it's amazing in here!
20
00:00:38,811 --> 00:00:40,644
Yeah!
21
00:00:40,646 --> 00:00:44,148
[Mina] Mom and I take on
some of the nastiest houses
you've ever seen.
22
00:00:47,820 --> 00:00:50,654
[Karen] Our team
isn't afraid to tackle
the worst of the worst.
23
00:00:50,723 --> 00:00:52,790
[Mina] That is so gross!
24
00:00:52,792 --> 00:00:54,425
[Karen] Holy cow.
25
00:00:54,427 --> 00:00:56,493
[Mina] Then we turn
those run-down houses
26
00:00:56,495 --> 00:00:58,629
into some of the nicest
homes in the neighborhood.
27
00:00:58,631 --> 00:01:00,130
-[man] Wow!
-[woman] I love it!
28
00:01:18,517 --> 00:01:19,817
Taking a little off the top?
29
00:01:19,819 --> 00:01:21,819
Oh, fancy seeing you here!
30
00:01:21,821 --> 00:01:24,655
Just in time to help me
blow off all the shavings
31
00:01:24,756 --> 00:01:26,223
and put the equipment away.
32
00:01:26,225 --> 00:01:27,124
[Mina] Are you about ready?
33
00:01:27,126 --> 00:01:28,225
About ready for what?
34
00:01:28,227 --> 00:01:29,326
Go over to the Valley.
35
00:01:29,328 --> 00:01:31,228
-Over the Valley, huh?
-Over the Valley!
36
00:01:31,230 --> 00:01:32,262
What's happening over there?
37
00:01:32,364 --> 00:01:33,730
I wanna walk this tiny lot.
38
00:01:34,333 --> 00:01:36,433
-Um... Hi!
-Hi!
39
00:01:36,435 --> 00:01:37,367
How's it going?
40
00:01:37,435 --> 00:01:38,936
-You okay?
-You guys haven't met, right?
41
00:01:38,938 --> 00:01:39,970
She bought Charles.
42
00:01:40,038 --> 00:01:40,938
-Oh, okay.
-Yes.
43
00:01:40,940 --> 00:01:42,606
And I heard lots about you.
44
00:01:42,608 --> 00:01:43,841
-This is Zack.
-Hi!
45
00:01:43,942 --> 00:01:45,109
-This is my boyfriend.
-Hello!
46
00:01:45,111 --> 00:01:47,044
Hannah bought our house
on Charles St.
47
00:01:47,046 --> 00:01:50,114
which is just down the street
from Cory's house.
48
00:01:50,116 --> 00:01:51,715
[Cory] Always love
meeting a new neighbor.
49
00:01:51,717 --> 00:01:54,017
So, it was nice that we ran
into her and her boyfriend,
50
00:01:54,019 --> 00:01:55,519
it was a little surprise.
51
00:01:55,521 --> 00:01:57,421
Sounds like we're gonna have,
like, a little community
around here.
52
00:01:57,423 --> 00:01:59,022
-This is great.
-That's adorable.
53
00:01:59,024 --> 00:02:01,725
Well, he's actually
in the market right now.
54
00:02:01,727 --> 00:02:02,926
He doesn't live with me
at Charles,
55
00:02:02,928 --> 00:02:04,461
I've got roommates.
56
00:02:04,463 --> 00:02:06,897
And he's going to be getting
in the homebuying process
here soon...
57
00:02:06,899 --> 00:02:09,133
All right, well, we're going
to check this one out.
58
00:02:09,135 --> 00:02:12,236
It's in the Valley,
which is a really cool
new neighborhood.
59
00:02:12,238 --> 00:02:14,972
And the timing might
work out perfect for you.
60
00:02:14,974 --> 00:02:16,340
Yeah, definitely!
61
00:02:16,342 --> 00:02:17,841
And I grew up
on the west side,
so that'd be awesome.
62
00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:19,610
All right, well,
enjoy your walk.
63
00:02:19,612 --> 00:02:22,312
I definitely will hit you
guys up when we get
a little further along.
64
00:02:22,314 --> 00:02:24,314
And I'm gonna make him
go work now.
65
00:02:24,316 --> 00:02:25,215
-Bye!
-Bye!
66
00:02:25,217 --> 00:02:26,583
-Yeah!
-See you, guys!
67
00:02:26,585 --> 00:02:28,519
All right, come here.
I'll show you how
to put this away.
68
00:02:28,521 --> 00:02:29,419
[Mina laughs]
69
00:02:29,421 --> 00:02:30,154
Come here!
70
00:02:38,631 --> 00:02:39,863
This is exciting, though!
71
00:02:39,932 --> 00:02:41,532
We're going to the Valley!
72
00:02:41,534 --> 00:02:42,866
Oh, boy!
73
00:02:42,935 --> 00:02:44,234
Yeah.
74
00:02:44,236 --> 00:02:46,537
This is our second project
we've done in the Valley.
75
00:02:46,605 --> 00:02:48,038
The first was
the Warren house,
76
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,207
which turned out super cute
and sold really quick
77
00:02:50,209 --> 00:02:52,543
because I think people
are really starting to migra
78
00:02:52,611 --> 00:02:54,344
to this west side of Indy.
79
00:02:54,446 --> 00:02:55,579
And the lot of Birch St.
80
00:02:55,581 --> 00:02:57,514
is gonna be coming
into the zoo, the ball park
81
00:02:57,516 --> 00:02:59,216
and I really think it could
a really good neighborhood
82
00:02:59,218 --> 00:03:01,251
for us to keep investing in
83
00:03:01,353 --> 00:03:03,420
Tell me about it,
what are we doing?
Did you buy a house?
84
00:03:03,422 --> 00:03:05,923
It's a lot. It's a baby lot.
85
00:03:05,925 --> 00:03:07,324
Oh, so it's not a lot of lot.
86
00:03:07,326 --> 00:03:08,325
It's not a lot of lot.
87
00:03:08,460 --> 00:03:09,760
-No...
-Okay, that's intense.
88
00:03:09,828 --> 00:03:11,762
[Mina] But I did get it
for only 10 grand.
89
00:03:11,830 --> 00:03:13,263
You got the lot for 10 grand?
90
00:03:13,365 --> 00:03:14,364
-Yeah.
-Okay!
91
00:03:14,466 --> 00:03:15,832
[Mina] It's only 20 feet wid
92
00:03:15,834 --> 00:03:17,367
but it goes back pretty far
93
00:03:17,436 --> 00:03:18,702
So it's a really skinny lot
94
00:03:18,704 --> 00:03:19,603
but I think
we could squeeze
95
00:03:19,671 --> 00:03:21,338
about a 1,500 sqft
house on it.
96
00:03:22,508 --> 00:03:25,943
And I kinda wanna
figure out today
97
00:03:25,945 --> 00:03:28,712
what footprint we can
realistically get.
98
00:03:28,714 --> 00:03:30,514
-Yep.
-I wanna, like, you know.
99
00:03:30,516 --> 00:03:31,415
Visualize it.
100
00:03:31,417 --> 00:03:32,816
I know it's always
nerve-wracking
101
00:03:32,818 --> 00:03:34,218
to be a pioneer
in a neighborhood
102
00:03:34,220 --> 00:03:36,420
but, I mean,
we've done this dance
numerous times before,
103
00:03:36,422 --> 00:03:37,321
I think we'll be all right.
104
00:03:37,823 --> 00:03:38,622
Yeah...
105
00:03:38,624 --> 00:03:40,357
I think we got this now!
106
00:03:40,425 --> 00:03:44,127
And if we don't, we should,
like, go find new jobs.
107
00:03:44,129 --> 00:03:45,729
Are you just gonna leave me
hanging again, bro?
108
00:03:45,731 --> 00:03:46,863
Oh. [laughs]
109
00:03:46,932 --> 00:03:48,565
I was doing
some more sightseeing.
110
00:03:54,807 --> 00:03:56,840
It probably doesn't even
look like a lot.
111
00:03:56,908 --> 00:03:57,708
Okay.
112
00:03:57,710 --> 00:03:59,243
It probably looks
like a side-yard.
113
00:03:59,311 --> 00:04:01,712
-[Cody laughs]
-But it is a lot.
114
00:04:02,748 --> 00:04:04,181
This is a driveway!
115
00:04:05,150 --> 00:04:07,317
-Mina!
-Well, the reason
it looks like a driveway
116
00:04:07,319 --> 00:04:08,752
is 'cause we have
10 feet of tree.
117
00:04:08,821 --> 00:04:09,720
[Cory] Okay.
118
00:04:09,722 --> 00:04:10,987
If someone were to say,
119
00:04:10,989 --> 00:04:12,923
"Hey, Cory, I've got
this plot of land
and here it is,"
120
00:04:12,925 --> 00:04:14,858
I'd be like,
"Show me a site map
121
00:04:14,927 --> 00:04:17,227
that this is
a separate property
away from this house."
122
00:04:17,229 --> 00:04:19,062
Who told you this
was another lot?
123
00:04:19,164 --> 00:04:21,131
It's a 21 foot wide lot.
124
00:04:21,133 --> 00:04:22,766
-Go ahead and walk it off.
-Walk with me, Frank.
125
00:04:22,835 --> 00:04:24,234
One, two, three...
126
00:04:24,236 --> 00:04:26,069
[Cory] Any time Mina says
"I'm gonna walk it out,"
127
00:04:26,138 --> 00:04:27,204
it's kinda like a guesstimat
128
00:04:27,206 --> 00:04:29,139
And you can see her
start her stride
129
00:04:29,208 --> 00:04:30,641
and you know she's about
to walk something out,
130
00:04:30,709 --> 00:04:31,708
and you're like...
131
00:04:32,745 --> 00:04:35,045
And what's crazy
is this, like...
132
00:04:35,047 --> 00:04:36,513
she's got good over the time.
133
00:04:36,515 --> 00:04:37,914
My strides are two feet!
134
00:04:37,916 --> 00:04:39,049
Ten, and a foot.
135
00:04:39,118 --> 00:04:40,217
-This is a--
-So, we literally...
136
00:04:40,219 --> 00:04:42,819
are right on the house.
137
00:04:42,821 --> 00:04:43,820
And we have
a variant.
138
00:04:43,822 --> 00:04:45,722
So we can do
a 16-foot-wide house.
139
00:04:45,724 --> 00:04:47,124
So I think it's like...
140
00:04:47,126 --> 00:04:48,425
a foot and a half off this
141
00:04:48,427 --> 00:04:50,861
and like three and a half
off this or something.
142
00:04:50,962 --> 00:04:52,462
Off of this side
of the property,
143
00:04:52,564 --> 00:04:53,530
we can have windows.
144
00:04:53,532 --> 00:04:55,132
-At three feet.
-'Cause we're 3.5 feet.
145
00:04:55,134 --> 00:04:56,233
-Okay.
-Three and a little something.
146
00:04:56,235 --> 00:04:57,334
And then nothing
on the north--
147
00:04:57,336 --> 00:04:58,602
-No windows on this side.
-Okay.
148
00:04:58,604 --> 00:05:00,637
How far forward are we
coming with the house?
149
00:05:00,706 --> 00:05:03,707
I mean, the set back that
the rest of the houses have
is what they've approved.
150
00:05:03,709 --> 00:05:04,508
-So...
-Okay.
151
00:05:04,510 --> 00:05:06,043
Get in that tree.
152
00:05:06,144 --> 00:05:06,843
Frank, come here.
153
00:05:06,945 --> 00:05:08,045
Is there poison ivy back here?
154
00:05:08,146 --> 00:05:08,979
I don't know.
155
00:05:10,616 --> 00:05:12,316
[Cory] And we're how far off
over here?
156
00:05:12,318 --> 00:05:15,052
-Um, I think we're 1.5 feet.
-I think I might tape it.
157
00:05:15,754 --> 00:05:17,054
Linear 16-wide.
158
00:05:17,122 --> 00:05:18,221
16 off that.
159
00:05:19,224 --> 00:05:22,926
Which my guess is...
right here.
160
00:05:22,928 --> 00:05:24,227
Oh, you think so, huh?
161
00:05:24,229 --> 00:05:25,429
Yeah, am I way off?
162
00:05:25,431 --> 00:05:26,530
I don't know yet.
163
00:05:28,067 --> 00:05:28,965
[exclaims]
164
00:05:28,967 --> 00:05:30,534
[funny screaming]
165
00:05:30,536 --> 00:05:33,303
I really want her
to start using a tape measure.
166
00:05:33,806 --> 00:05:35,005
She celebrates it!
167
00:05:35,007 --> 00:05:36,139
Is the crazy part.
168
00:05:36,141 --> 00:05:38,208
Positive reinforcement
has a lot of power, Cory.
169
00:05:38,210 --> 00:05:40,711
Yeah, so she gives
herself a lot of
positive reinforcement
170
00:05:40,713 --> 00:05:42,112
because I sure don't.
171
00:05:42,114 --> 00:05:43,413
-[Cory laughing]
-Great!
172
00:05:43,415 --> 00:05:44,514
The middle of my foot!
173
00:05:44,516 --> 00:05:45,716
I almost shot your foot.
174
00:05:45,718 --> 00:05:47,217
-You got excited.
-[Cory] Yeah!
175
00:05:47,219 --> 00:05:49,152
All right, stand by. Okay.
176
00:05:52,057 --> 00:05:53,557
And then we're gonna go
all the way back, right?
177
00:05:53,658 --> 00:05:56,727
Hold on, I'm gonna find
what our approved length is
178
00:05:56,729 --> 00:05:57,661
that we can drop in.
179
00:05:57,730 --> 00:05:58,662
Come on with me, Mina.
180
00:06:00,299 --> 00:06:01,965
We're approved for 46 feet.
181
00:06:02,067 --> 00:06:04,735
-So. One, two, three.
-Stand by.
182
00:06:04,737 --> 00:06:05,869
That's 46.
183
00:06:06,305 --> 00:06:07,304
Super long!
184
00:06:07,306 --> 00:06:10,006
Like, one of the longest
lots downtown.
185
00:06:10,008 --> 00:06:11,641
But about half the width.
186
00:06:11,710 --> 00:06:13,510
We're gonna do
a 16-foot-wide house.
187
00:06:13,512 --> 00:06:15,412
And it looks a little small.
188
00:06:15,414 --> 00:06:16,713
It's about here.
189
00:06:16,715 --> 00:06:17,948
This is how big our house is.
190
00:06:18,016 --> 00:06:19,716
Frank barely fits
in the house.
191
00:06:20,652 --> 00:06:22,119
This is so tiny!
192
00:06:22,721 --> 00:06:24,054
I don't like it.
193
00:06:24,123 --> 00:06:25,222
What's happening right now?
194
00:06:30,829 --> 00:06:32,529
[Mina] This is how big
our house is.
195
00:06:32,531 --> 00:06:33,797
-Okay.
-So that's it?
196
00:06:33,799 --> 00:06:35,432
Frank barely fits
in the house.
197
00:06:35,434 --> 00:06:36,466
Frank was standing
198
00:06:36,535 --> 00:06:37,701
in the middle
of our little space,
199
00:06:37,703 --> 00:06:39,603
and he's almost
the size of a human,
200
00:06:39,605 --> 00:06:41,805
so we almost were
three people wide
201
00:06:41,807 --> 00:06:44,641
within the back
of our 16-foot-wide house.
202
00:06:44,710 --> 00:06:46,643
And it looks a little small.
203
00:06:46,712 --> 00:06:49,946
It looks quaint and perfect.
204
00:06:49,948 --> 00:06:53,016
-[Cory] How many square feet?
-16 times 49...
205
00:06:53,018 --> 00:06:55,318
784 is our footprint.
206
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:56,853
Times two, for two stories
207
00:06:56,955 --> 00:06:59,022
-is 1,568 square feet.
-All right.
208
00:06:59,024 --> 00:07:01,925
1,568 square feet.
209
00:07:01,927 --> 00:07:03,160
Which is generous!
210
00:07:03,629 --> 00:07:04,895
Wow.
211
00:07:04,897 --> 00:07:06,196
-That's it.
-And then the rest
of this is backyard?
212
00:07:06,198 --> 00:07:07,664
[Mina] We'll put a porch
back here.
213
00:07:07,766 --> 00:07:08,898
-[Cory] Uh-huh?
-Yeah!
214
00:07:08,900 --> 00:07:10,867
I think, 'cause we'll have,
like, a good-sized drive.
215
00:07:10,936 --> 00:07:12,736
-[Cory] Yeah, and we can--
-I mean, this is...
216
00:07:13,205 --> 00:07:14,438
really nice!
217
00:07:14,539 --> 00:07:15,505
[Cory] This is really cool.
218
00:07:15,507 --> 00:07:17,040
I think it'll work.
219
00:07:17,109 --> 00:07:18,175
[Mina] Building a house
from the ground up
220
00:07:18,177 --> 00:07:19,309
means starting
with the basics.
221
00:07:19,311 --> 00:07:20,844
So, the first thing
we need to do
222
00:07:20,946 --> 00:07:23,547
is install water, sewer,
and electric lines.
223
00:07:23,648 --> 00:07:25,816
Then we can dig in
for the foundation.
224
00:07:25,818 --> 00:07:26,917
Once that's dry,
225
00:07:26,919 --> 00:07:27,818
we can start framing
226
00:07:27,820 --> 00:07:28,919
and building
our house.
227
00:07:30,322 --> 00:07:31,655
Being in a new
neighborhood's risky,
228
00:07:31,756 --> 00:07:33,456
especially with a new build
229
00:07:33,458 --> 00:07:35,959
The size and the design
of the house has to fit
with the area ones,
230
00:07:35,961 --> 00:07:38,595
and you can't be sure
you get it right
until it sells.
231
00:07:38,597 --> 00:07:40,130
We got this lot for 10,000.
232
00:07:40,132 --> 00:07:42,799
The build is gonna be
about 195,000,
233
00:07:42,801 --> 00:07:45,502
putting us all in at 205,000
234
00:07:45,504 --> 00:07:47,504
Based on our last house
in the Valley,
235
00:07:47,506 --> 00:07:48,839
which was a four-bedroom,
three-bath,
236
00:07:48,907 --> 00:07:51,141
and sold for 315,000,
237
00:07:51,243 --> 00:07:52,442
I think we can list this on
238
00:07:52,511 --> 00:07:54,311
for around 285,000
239
00:07:54,313 --> 00:07:55,712
since it's
a good bit smaller
240
00:07:55,714 --> 00:07:56,947
and a three-bed,
two-bath.
241
00:07:57,716 --> 00:07:58,715
Bring him.
242
00:07:59,651 --> 00:08:00,517
Bring him!
243
00:08:00,519 --> 00:08:01,451
You want your big stick?
244
00:08:01,553 --> 00:08:02,452
No, hold on.
245
00:08:02,521 --> 00:08:04,054
I'm wrapped.
No, no, no, no...
246
00:08:04,122 --> 00:08:05,922
[Corry laughs]
Where are you going?
247
00:08:05,924 --> 00:08:07,057
[Mina] What are we doing?
248
00:08:07,158 --> 00:08:08,225
[Cory] Let go!
249
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:09,926
-[Mina] Get out, Cory!
-I'm trying!
250
00:08:11,830 --> 00:08:13,063
Frank got in tangles.
251
00:08:13,065 --> 00:08:14,431
Get your... Oh! Get it.
252
00:08:14,433 --> 00:08:15,832
Look at that! You got it.
253
00:08:15,834 --> 00:08:16,833
Go get your... [laughs]
254
00:08:19,404 --> 00:08:20,737
Come on, bring your stick.
255
00:08:20,806 --> 00:08:22,239
-[Frank barks]
-[Cory laughs]
256
00:08:32,017 --> 00:08:34,150
[Mina] With no demo to do
at the Birch avenue lot,
257
00:08:34,252 --> 00:08:35,851
the team's been able
to move fast.
258
00:08:37,356 --> 00:08:39,623
The utilities were installe
and the foundation
has been poured.
259
00:08:40,726 --> 00:08:41,991
The lot may be small,
260
00:08:41,993 --> 00:08:43,627
but I feel like the floorpla
we came up with
261
00:08:43,629 --> 00:08:45,095
will give a homeowner
everything they need
262
00:08:45,097 --> 00:08:46,263
without feeling cramped.
263
00:08:47,232 --> 00:08:48,064
[Cory] Good morning!
264
00:08:48,066 --> 00:08:49,633
Oh, good morning, Frank!
265
00:08:49,635 --> 00:08:51,668
-Come to..., come here!
-You go say hi.
266
00:08:51,737 --> 00:08:52,602
You go say hi.
267
00:08:52,604 --> 00:08:54,337
Come here, baba!
268
00:08:54,406 --> 00:08:56,039
Oh, my goodness!
269
00:08:56,041 --> 00:08:57,407
It's your own funeral.
270
00:08:57,409 --> 00:08:59,643
[in a baby voice]
What are you so sleepy for
this morning?
271
00:08:59,744 --> 00:09:01,011
-Birch.
-Birch.
272
00:09:02,514 --> 00:09:05,215
You know, with how small
this lot is,
273
00:09:05,217 --> 00:09:07,817
it's gonna be amazing
to see what this
ends up looking like.
274
00:09:07,819 --> 00:09:09,419
Seemingly, a teeny tiny
little house,
275
00:09:09,421 --> 00:09:11,521
-but I think it's a--
-It's a shotgun.
276
00:09:11,523 --> 00:09:14,424
I think we've got
1,600 square feet.
277
00:09:14,426 --> 00:09:15,625
But when we come in,
278
00:09:15,627 --> 00:09:17,093
and you obviously can't
see it on the floor plan,
279
00:09:17,162 --> 00:09:19,663
but we've got super,
super high ceilings
going in here,
280
00:09:19,764 --> 00:09:21,231
which I'm very excited about
281
00:09:21,233 --> 00:09:23,667
So, we've got living,
kitchen, dining,
282
00:09:23,768 --> 00:09:24,867
powder room.
283
00:09:24,869 --> 00:09:26,503
[Cory] I love this whole
open concept
284
00:09:26,505 --> 00:09:27,938
and how you can see
all the way to the back.
285
00:09:28,039 --> 00:09:29,406
-That jazzes me up.
-Mmm-hmm. Yeah.
286
00:09:29,408 --> 00:09:31,207
Really cute covered patio.
287
00:09:31,209 --> 00:09:33,410
-I'm excited about it. Yeah.
-That is so cute!
288
00:09:33,412 --> 00:09:35,245
And then when you go upstairs,
289
00:09:35,347 --> 00:09:36,579
you got the main en-suite,
290
00:09:36,615 --> 00:09:39,816
the den, bedroom two,
it's on the smaller size,
291
00:09:39,818 --> 00:09:40,984
but we've got pocket doors
292
00:09:41,052 --> 00:09:42,953
so it could be used as, like
a loft, a bedroom.
293
00:09:43,021 --> 00:09:45,956
Then we have another bedroo
and then our bathroom.
294
00:09:45,958 --> 00:09:48,425
Just gonna be a nice,
tight little house.
295
00:09:48,427 --> 00:09:50,060
-Yeah.
-1,600 square feet on the dot.
296
00:09:50,128 --> 00:09:51,227
It's totally packing a punch.
297
00:09:51,229 --> 00:09:53,229
-We're only 16 feet wide...
-Mmm-hmm.
298
00:09:53,231 --> 00:09:54,731
And we're packing in
three bedrooms
299
00:09:54,866 --> 00:09:55,865
and two and a half baths.
300
00:09:55,867 --> 00:09:58,068
Yeah. I don't think
it's gonna feel that tiny.
301
00:09:58,437 --> 00:09:59,568
All right.
302
00:10:09,047 --> 00:10:10,380
[Mina] Our first framing
has started
303
00:10:10,382 --> 00:10:11,848
and our team is flying.
304
00:10:16,221 --> 00:10:18,321
We're just days away
from window and doors
going in.
305
00:10:22,728 --> 00:10:24,628
-[Cory] Oh, hello.
-Hi!
306
00:10:24,630 --> 00:10:27,497
But I wanna make sure
everything is framed
and according to plan first
307
00:10:28,133 --> 00:10:29,032
How's it looking?
308
00:10:31,303 --> 00:10:32,569
We need to talk.
309
00:10:33,038 --> 00:10:34,704
Um... dude.
310
00:10:36,041 --> 00:10:36,906
This one's tough.
311
00:10:43,215 --> 00:10:44,047
How's it looking?
312
00:10:45,217 --> 00:10:46,316
We need to talk.
313
00:10:47,319 --> 00:10:48,818
Um...
314
00:10:48,820 --> 00:10:50,553
I admit it, I was wrong.
315
00:10:50,622 --> 00:10:51,955
This is large.
316
00:10:51,957 --> 00:10:53,456
She's not really that small.
317
00:10:54,192 --> 00:10:56,326
This house is
so freaking cute!
318
00:10:56,328 --> 00:10:59,062
And we have some major
tall ceilings in here,
319
00:10:59,064 --> 00:11:00,664
we've got some 10-footers
on our side.
320
00:11:00,765 --> 00:11:03,233
[Mina] Makes what could fee
like a very small space
321
00:11:03,235 --> 00:11:04,567
feel much larger.
322
00:11:06,104 --> 00:11:08,304
Doesn't it smell
like breakfast over here?
323
00:11:08,306 --> 00:11:09,672
[Mina] Are you just hungry?
324
00:11:09,674 --> 00:11:10,807
Is that why you think
everything smells
like breakfast?
325
00:11:10,809 --> 00:11:12,909
It smells like French toast
and some breakfast.
326
00:11:12,911 --> 00:11:13,943
[Mina] Okay.
327
00:11:14,012 --> 00:11:15,578
This is the main bedroom
over here.
328
00:11:15,614 --> 00:11:17,847
-Yeah, so this is
the laundry closet.
-This is pretty spacious!
329
00:11:17,916 --> 00:11:19,315
And then this is the bathroom.
330
00:11:19,317 --> 00:11:22,419
Yeah, so it's shower pan here,
331
00:11:22,421 --> 00:11:24,954
throne room,
vanity over there.
332
00:11:24,956 --> 00:11:28,224
Bedroom, bathroom,
with a bedroom in between.
333
00:11:28,226 --> 00:11:29,426
You know what I love
about this?
334
00:11:29,428 --> 00:11:32,262
Is that all of the bedrooms
are on the second floor.
335
00:11:32,330 --> 00:11:33,963
I don't know why I love that.
336
00:11:33,965 --> 00:11:35,965
-Um, but I think...
-It's the ninja position.
337
00:11:36,068 --> 00:11:38,435
-What?
-Everyone's in
the ninja position.
338
00:11:38,437 --> 00:11:40,136
-What's that?
-Like, you're right.
339
00:11:40,138 --> 00:11:41,504
Like, if someone breaks in,
340
00:11:41,506 --> 00:11:43,306
there's no one that
you have to sacrifice
on the first floor.
341
00:11:43,308 --> 00:11:44,507
That's so... [laughs]
342
00:11:44,509 --> 00:11:45,942
It's like the ninja position
if you go out to eat.
343
00:11:45,944 --> 00:11:47,410
You wanna be facing the space,
344
00:11:47,412 --> 00:11:48,945
you know, I don't wanna be
facing a wall...
345
00:11:48,947 --> 00:11:50,046
-Yeah.
-Because...
346
00:11:50,816 --> 00:11:51,781
Yeah!
347
00:11:51,783 --> 00:11:53,316
...you got got,
you'll get got first.
348
00:11:53,318 --> 00:11:54,117
This works.
349
00:11:54,119 --> 00:11:55,552
It's a cute little, what?
350
00:11:55,620 --> 00:11:56,820
Three-two? And a half.
351
00:11:56,822 --> 00:11:59,255
It packs all the essentials
of what you need.
352
00:11:59,357 --> 00:12:00,623
[both make ninja noises]
353
00:12:10,535 --> 00:12:12,202
[Mina] Our little house
on Birch is all closed up
354
00:12:12,204 --> 00:12:14,304
with new windows and doors.
355
00:12:14,306 --> 00:12:16,706
And our team has started
on the exterior siding.
356
00:12:18,310 --> 00:12:19,743
Inside, drywall's
going up fast,
357
00:12:19,811 --> 00:12:22,011
so MJ and I need to dial in
our design details
358
00:12:22,013 --> 00:12:23,213
to keep things moving.
359
00:12:23,915 --> 00:12:26,116
-This is a modernized shotgu
-[MJ] Okay.
360
00:12:26,952 --> 00:12:28,351
The point is, we have 16 feet.
361
00:12:28,453 --> 00:12:29,419
Okay.
362
00:12:29,421 --> 00:12:30,420
So...
363
00:12:31,056 --> 00:12:32,055
very high ceilings,
364
00:12:32,057 --> 00:12:33,556
those are gonna be
super cool.
365
00:12:33,658 --> 00:12:36,326
But still, you know,
it's long and skinny.
366
00:12:36,328 --> 00:12:38,361
But I want it to feel
super chic and luxe,
367
00:12:38,463 --> 00:12:39,462
even though it's tiny.
368
00:12:39,931 --> 00:12:40,763
Okay.
369
00:12:40,765 --> 00:12:41,965
So I have this idea
in my head
370
00:12:41,967 --> 00:12:44,734
for a super, super dark house
371
00:12:44,736 --> 00:12:48,338
with, like, a rose-esque door.
372
00:12:48,406 --> 00:12:49,405
Mmm-hmm.
373
00:12:49,407 --> 00:12:50,807
[Mina] So, the main body
374
00:12:50,809 --> 00:12:52,008
and then just a little
pop of pink.
375
00:12:52,010 --> 00:12:52,975
-Yep
-Just on the door.
376
00:12:52,977 --> 00:12:55,044
And we can still do,
like, a white trim.
377
00:12:55,046 --> 00:12:56,946
If we're gonna do a pink door,
I wanna do gold hardware.
378
00:12:56,948 --> 00:12:57,981
Well, yeah.
379
00:12:57,983 --> 00:12:58,915
-'Cause look
how pretty that is.
-Yeah.
380
00:12:58,917 --> 00:12:59,983
To go with the gold hardware,
381
00:12:59,985 --> 00:13:01,985
I'm thinking, like,
a luxe gold lighting fixture
382
00:13:01,987 --> 00:13:03,253
in the dining room,
383
00:13:03,255 --> 00:13:04,821
and then some chic
gold pendants
in the kitchen.
384
00:13:05,323 --> 00:13:06,856
100%. Okay.
385
00:13:06,925 --> 00:13:08,124
Fancy in the Valley.
386
00:13:08,126 --> 00:13:09,459
That's gonna be so cute.
387
00:13:09,527 --> 00:13:10,960
If we're gonna go with this...
388
00:13:13,031 --> 00:13:17,367
I like these ones that
are light, but still warm.
389
00:13:17,468 --> 00:13:19,235
[MJ] Okay.
These are really pretty.
390
00:13:19,237 --> 00:13:22,138
And they'll allow
all the luxe gold accents
to pop.
391
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,306
So, while I love
392
00:13:23,308 --> 00:13:24,107
all the pink and gold,
393
00:13:24,109 --> 00:13:25,408
we do have a potential buyer.
394
00:13:25,410 --> 00:13:27,544
So, Hannah, who bought
our Charles St. house,
395
00:13:27,612 --> 00:13:29,712
her boyfriend Zack
is in the market
396
00:13:30,515 --> 00:13:31,648
to potentially buy this house.
397
00:13:31,749 --> 00:13:32,849
I mean, who's to say.
398
00:13:32,951 --> 00:13:34,717
Maybe Zack likes
pink and gold.
399
00:13:34,719 --> 00:13:37,420
Maybe he does,
but he's not a 100% thing,
400
00:13:37,422 --> 00:13:39,322
so I wanna make sure
we're appealing to,
401
00:13:39,324 --> 00:13:40,824
you know, a broad range
of buyers...
402
00:13:40,826 --> 00:13:42,892
I just want it to be
very chic and luxe.
403
00:13:42,894 --> 00:13:45,261
I think, because
it is smaller,
404
00:13:45,363 --> 00:13:47,030
to keep it a little less busy,
405
00:13:47,032 --> 00:13:49,432
and we don't have a ton
of backsplash space,
406
00:13:49,434 --> 00:13:51,534
we take the countertop
and wrap up.
407
00:13:51,536 --> 00:13:53,303
Yes. Waterfall the edges?
408
00:13:53,305 --> 00:13:54,169
[gasps excitedly]
409
00:13:54,239 --> 00:13:55,238
Well, that's not
what I just said.
410
00:13:55,340 --> 00:13:56,706
-But we can also do that.
-Okay!
411
00:13:56,708 --> 00:13:58,141
I'm talking about backsplash.
412
00:13:58,210 --> 00:13:59,375
Oh, yeah!
413
00:13:59,377 --> 00:14:00,643
-You're talking about
island waterfall.
-Yes.
414
00:14:00,712 --> 00:14:03,313
This is the island,
this is the backsplash.
415
00:14:03,315 --> 00:14:04,948
So it's gonna be a big island,
416
00:14:04,950 --> 00:14:06,916
countertop, and then
go up the wall. So...
417
00:14:06,918 --> 00:14:08,051
-Yeah.
-Okay.
418
00:14:08,152 --> 00:14:10,420
[MJ] Let's go for a really
elegant marble look.
419
00:14:10,422 --> 00:14:12,622
Like, this tile,
but let's do it in a quartz
420
00:14:12,624 --> 00:14:14,224
so it's durable.
421
00:14:14,226 --> 00:14:17,427
This neighborhood
doesn't necessarily merit
422
00:14:17,429 --> 00:14:19,162
the stove that I have in mind,
423
00:14:19,230 --> 00:14:21,531
but we had a snafu
at another property,
424
00:14:21,533 --> 00:14:24,234
so we have that 36-inch wide,
425
00:14:24,236 --> 00:14:26,536
-like, Italian unit...
-[gasps] With the legs?
426
00:14:26,605 --> 00:14:27,737
Yeah.
427
00:14:27,739 --> 00:14:30,106
-Yes!
-But it has little
golds on it like this.
428
00:14:30,108 --> 00:14:31,708
Little tiny gold accents?
429
00:14:31,710 --> 00:14:33,710
So, if we wanna
use that here...
430
00:14:34,312 --> 00:14:35,678
We have to.
431
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,046
-It's saving money 'cause
we don't have to buy a stove!
-Yeah!
432
00:14:37,148 --> 00:14:38,948
-But that stove is very fancy.
-Okay, yeah.
433
00:14:39,017 --> 00:14:40,450
Because our powder room
434
00:14:40,518 --> 00:14:42,452
is literally right
off the kitchen,
435
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:43,686
right behind the island,
436
00:14:43,688 --> 00:14:45,722
I wanna do something cool
437
00:14:45,724 --> 00:14:47,824
and something a little bit
more antique
438
00:14:48,293 --> 00:14:49,459
for the door.
439
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:50,860
It's a barn, right?
440
00:14:50,929 --> 00:14:52,729
Well... it could be
a barn door.
441
00:14:52,731 --> 00:14:54,230
Okay, yeah.
442
00:14:54,232 --> 00:14:55,965
-And then we'll just use--
-You have some
in the warehouse?
443
00:14:56,034 --> 00:14:57,166
-I have so many doors.
-Okay.
444
00:14:57,168 --> 00:14:59,102
I'm just trying to get rid
of them at this point.
445
00:14:59,104 --> 00:15:00,637
-I'm good with that.
-Yes!
446
00:15:00,738 --> 00:15:03,339
I would say, doing a wallpaper
on the powder room,
447
00:15:03,441 --> 00:15:05,008
'cause again, we don't
usually do powder rooms.
448
00:15:05,010 --> 00:15:06,042
-Yeah.
-Because it is small.
449
00:15:06,945 --> 00:15:08,311
Give as much pop as we can.
450
00:15:08,313 --> 00:15:09,812
-I'm down.
-Okay.
451
00:15:09,814 --> 00:15:12,649
I freaking love these two.
452
00:15:12,750 --> 00:15:14,751
-And...
-[MJ laughs]
453
00:15:14,819 --> 00:15:15,718
It's a lot.
454
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,620
Tell me you don't like these.
455
00:15:17,622 --> 00:15:19,355
-I don't like those.
-You don't?
456
00:15:19,457 --> 00:15:20,657
[MJ] I love the colors,
457
00:15:20,725 --> 00:15:22,325
but that is a lot of peacock.
458
00:15:22,327 --> 00:15:24,494
I kinda like
this thistle pattern.
459
00:15:24,496 --> 00:15:27,430
It's still a flower,
but it's muted.
460
00:15:27,432 --> 00:15:29,866
It could be masculine,
it could be feminine.
461
00:15:29,968 --> 00:15:31,668
Okay. I love that.
462
00:15:31,736 --> 00:15:34,103
And I wanna do some kind
of either pedestal sink or--
463
00:15:34,105 --> 00:15:35,204
We've got a pedestal downst...
464
00:15:35,206 --> 00:15:37,206
Well, it's not like
a traditional pedestal,
465
00:15:37,208 --> 00:15:38,308
but it's the metal base.
466
00:15:38,310 --> 00:15:40,043
We are saving so much money.
467
00:15:40,045 --> 00:15:41,844
Yeah, I can't remember
where it was supposed to go,
468
00:15:41,913 --> 00:15:42,879
but it's really pretty.
469
00:15:42,881 --> 00:15:44,113
Okay, so we already
have our stove,
470
00:15:44,115 --> 00:15:44,948
we already have our sink,
471
00:15:44,950 --> 00:15:45,949
where are we gonna
spend money?
472
00:15:46,017 --> 00:15:49,218
Oh, I am sure
you will find a way.
473
00:15:49,220 --> 00:15:52,121
Maybe we do
some super luxe tile
in the main bath.
474
00:15:52,123 --> 00:15:53,389
Uh-huh...
475
00:15:53,391 --> 00:15:55,625
[MJ] I really like
this marble petal design.
476
00:15:55,627 --> 00:15:57,627
Cool! This one's gonna
be really cute.
477
00:15:57,629 --> 00:15:58,661
It's gonna be super cute.
478
00:15:58,730 --> 00:15:59,729
I'm excited.
479
00:16:14,045 --> 00:16:15,311
[Mina exclaims excitedly]
480
00:16:15,313 --> 00:16:17,046
-Hello!
-I like it!
481
00:16:17,048 --> 00:16:18,414
[MJ] Today, at Birch,
I have to show Mina
482
00:16:18,416 --> 00:16:20,717
all of the money that
we're getting ready to spend
483
00:16:20,719 --> 00:16:23,252
to make this place
the coolest place
it could ever be.
484
00:16:23,354 --> 00:16:27,724
I love that we're gonna get
so much viewing...
485
00:16:27,726 --> 00:16:29,525
of the wallpaper with the sky.
486
00:16:29,527 --> 00:16:32,061
So, I really love
a powder room
487
00:16:32,163 --> 00:16:34,764
with some detailed
grass cloth wallpaper.
488
00:16:34,832 --> 00:16:36,466
And with our little
pedestal sink,
489
00:16:36,567 --> 00:16:37,800
it's gonna be so cute,
490
00:16:37,836 --> 00:16:39,469
because you'll be able
to see underneath it...
491
00:16:39,537 --> 00:16:40,703
And it's gonna allow
the wallpaper
492
00:16:40,705 --> 00:16:42,705
to really be the star
of the show.
493
00:16:42,707 --> 00:16:45,842
And the grass cloth really
makes it look higher end,
494
00:16:45,943 --> 00:16:47,944
um, because it gives it
some texture
495
00:16:48,046 --> 00:16:49,946
along with, like, the pattern
and the colors.
496
00:16:49,948 --> 00:16:51,447
[MJ] A little 'wow' factor.
497
00:16:51,449 --> 00:16:53,716
So, when I was over here
the other day,
498
00:16:53,718 --> 00:16:54,817
I was thinking about this.
499
00:16:54,819 --> 00:16:56,619
-[MJ] Okay.
-I don't wanna close it in.
500
00:16:56,621 --> 00:16:57,754
I like the angle.
501
00:16:57,822 --> 00:16:58,955
-Yeah.
-I think it looks really cool,
502
00:16:59,023 --> 00:17:00,523
looks really clean.
503
00:17:00,525 --> 00:17:02,058
I don't wanna do any
permanent build out,
504
00:17:02,127 --> 00:17:04,127
because we've got,
obviously plenty
of cabinet storage,
505
00:17:04,129 --> 00:17:07,163
so we don't need
any cabinet storage there.
506
00:17:07,265 --> 00:17:08,831
It could be as simple
as a cute little bench
507
00:17:08,833 --> 00:17:09,632
and a couple pillows,
508
00:17:09,634 --> 00:17:11,134
maybe a hanging plant, like...
509
00:17:11,136 --> 00:17:12,568
There's a way
to make this work
510
00:17:12,637 --> 00:17:13,703
and look really, really cute.
511
00:17:13,705 --> 00:17:14,737
Yeah!
512
00:17:14,806 --> 00:17:16,906
I really like the space
under the stairs.
513
00:17:16,908 --> 00:17:18,808
I like that it's clean
and open.
514
00:17:18,810 --> 00:17:20,643
-I like the angle, too. A lot.
-Yeah.
515
00:17:20,745 --> 00:17:22,412
It really could be as simple
as using the space
516
00:17:22,414 --> 00:17:23,413
as a little bar area.
517
00:17:23,415 --> 00:17:25,214
Just something useful
that's cute.
518
00:17:25,216 --> 00:17:27,116
-Yeah...
-We've a lot of projects
in the house.
519
00:17:27,118 --> 00:17:28,418
We do have a lot
of projects going on.
520
00:17:28,420 --> 00:17:29,852
And I have one really big one
521
00:17:29,954 --> 00:17:31,320
that I'm about
to spring on you.
522
00:17:33,825 --> 00:17:35,224
[Mina] You've lost your mind
523
00:17:39,064 --> 00:17:40,430
[Mina] We've a lot of projec
524
00:17:40,432 --> 00:17:42,131
-...in the house.
-We do have a lot
of projects going on.
525
00:17:42,133 --> 00:17:43,633
And I have one really big one
526
00:17:43,635 --> 00:17:45,068
that I'm about
to spring on you.
527
00:17:48,006 --> 00:17:49,939
-What?
-The beams.
528
00:17:51,009 --> 00:17:52,041
There aren't any beams.
529
00:17:52,143 --> 00:17:53,342
Yet.
530
00:17:53,444 --> 00:17:57,413
One, two, three,
four, five, six.
531
00:17:57,415 --> 00:18:00,516
Have you looked to see
how much a full beam costs?
532
00:18:00,518 --> 00:18:01,818
Not yet.
533
00:18:01,820 --> 00:18:04,554
Do you think it's under $300?
534
00:18:05,123 --> 00:18:06,322
Yes.
535
00:18:06,324 --> 00:18:07,824
No, you do not.
536
00:18:07,826 --> 00:18:10,026
What would make sense
would be to do poplar
537
00:18:10,028 --> 00:18:11,928
which is the same
as the stairs,
538
00:18:11,930 --> 00:18:13,496
so they would stain the same
539
00:18:13,564 --> 00:18:17,233
It really just comes down
to what the linear footage
of poplar's gonna cost.
540
00:18:17,235 --> 00:18:19,235
There's a way
to make cheap beams.
541
00:18:20,605 --> 00:18:21,971
All right, we'll get
back to that.
542
00:18:21,973 --> 00:18:25,942
I mean, we are bringing
a lot of wow factors
to the Valley,
543
00:18:26,043 --> 00:18:27,343
and I think
if we just continue
544
00:18:27,412 --> 00:18:28,644
to knock it out of the park,
545
00:18:28,713 --> 00:18:30,713
this'll be the next
really cool neighborhood.
546
00:18:30,715 --> 00:18:32,448
This is gonna be
a really cute house.
547
00:18:32,550 --> 00:18:34,383
So cute. So, so, so cute.
548
00:18:34,385 --> 00:18:35,651
Okay.
549
00:18:49,534 --> 00:18:50,733
[Mina] While they finish
installing flooring
550
00:18:50,735 --> 00:18:51,634
and kitchen cabinets
551
00:18:51,636 --> 00:18:52,969
at our Birch St. house...
552
00:18:53,004 --> 00:18:54,937
it's a good thing we have
Adele to help us.
553
00:18:55,006 --> 00:18:56,839
-[Cory] These are so cute!
-Aren't these cool?
554
00:18:56,908 --> 00:18:58,508
[Mina] Mom and Cory
are working on a project
555
00:18:58,510 --> 00:19:00,843
to give the backyard
a little bit of luxury.
556
00:19:00,912 --> 00:19:02,612
[Karen] So, I went by
the Birch house the other day
557
00:19:02,614 --> 00:19:03,813
to check on the progress,
558
00:19:03,815 --> 00:19:05,815
and I found these
on the back patio.
559
00:19:05,817 --> 00:19:08,851
Covered in construction
dust and debris.
560
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,419
And I thought, "You know what?
561
00:19:10,421 --> 00:19:13,823
These'd make a super cute
little coffee table situation
562
00:19:13,825 --> 00:19:15,491
on the back porch
at Birch, right?"
563
00:19:15,493 --> 00:19:17,527
Mina and MJ are talking
about putting
564
00:19:17,529 --> 00:19:19,495
a lot of luxury
inside the house.
565
00:19:19,497 --> 00:19:21,130
So we're gonna put
a little luxury
566
00:19:21,132 --> 00:19:22,064
on the outside,
567
00:19:22,066 --> 00:19:23,332
with a custom coffee table.
568
00:19:23,334 --> 00:19:25,134
This is an electrical spool.
569
00:19:28,940 --> 00:19:30,239
I'll be honest,
570
00:19:30,241 --> 00:19:32,742
the electrical spool
doesn't really scream
luxury to me.
571
00:19:34,212 --> 00:19:37,713
Well, you have to imagine
the entire vignette, okay?
572
00:19:37,715 --> 00:19:41,050
So, you've got
this custom table
with some seating around it,
573
00:19:41,052 --> 00:19:44,020
lovely beverages and food,
some flowy curtains,
574
00:19:44,022 --> 00:19:46,255
some big flowerpots
with beautiful flowers.
575
00:19:46,357 --> 00:19:48,524
It'll be like
you're in a resort somewhere.
576
00:19:48,659 --> 00:19:51,227
-If you say so.
-[snickers] Thanks.
577
00:19:51,229 --> 00:19:55,431
-I got boxes full of legs,
so we've got legs.
-Hairpin legs.
578
00:19:55,433 --> 00:19:57,633
Yeah, so we're just gonna put
four hairpin legs on,
579
00:19:57,635 --> 00:20:00,203
and then
we're gonna stain the top.
580
00:20:00,205 --> 00:20:02,038
But here we have
another option.
581
00:20:02,139 --> 00:20:05,942
So, this tree got cut down
on Hosbrook Street
582
00:20:05,944 --> 00:20:07,610
-seven, eight years ago
-Okay.
583
00:20:07,612 --> 00:20:09,845
and I got it milled
into rounds.
584
00:20:09,914 --> 00:20:12,248
We could also use this
as the table back there.
585
00:20:12,317 --> 00:20:15,818
Obviously, Karen's known
for saving things
from her construction sites,
586
00:20:15,820 --> 00:20:17,954
but I'm pretty sure
this one takes the cake
587
00:20:18,022 --> 00:20:20,790
-for the item
she's had the longest.
-[laughs]
588
00:20:20,792 --> 00:20:23,960
I mean, I knew when
I saved this eight years ago
589
00:20:23,962 --> 00:20:27,830
-that eventually I would find
the perfect place for it,
-Yeah.
590
00:20:27,832 --> 00:20:28,898
and this is it.
591
00:20:28,900 --> 00:20:31,033
The front porch
needs something, too.
592
00:20:31,035 --> 00:20:32,969
This would be so cute
out front.
593
00:20:33,037 --> 00:20:35,404
-We could do this.
-[gasps]
594
00:20:35,406 --> 00:20:37,106
-And we could--
-Shut the front door.
595
00:20:37,108 --> 00:20:38,708
Right?
596
00:20:43,214 --> 00:20:46,115
[Karen] So, originally
we were just gonna make
one table for MJ,
597
00:20:46,117 --> 00:20:47,617
but since we have
this other slab
598
00:20:47,619 --> 00:20:49,285
I feel like
we should make it into two.
599
00:20:49,287 --> 00:20:50,820
And it's
a pretty simple project.
600
00:20:50,822 --> 00:20:52,722
All we have to do
is sand it down,
601
00:20:54,626 --> 00:20:55,758
add the legs...
602
00:20:56,427 --> 00:20:57,693
This is real nice like.
603
00:20:57,695 --> 00:20:58,628
[Cory] Stain.
604
00:21:00,331 --> 00:21:02,531
Okay, so,
let's just drop this in here
605
00:21:02,533 --> 00:21:03,966
-and see how we feel about it.
-Yeah.
606
00:21:06,070 --> 00:21:10,106
And boom, we have something
that looks like
a million bucks.
607
00:21:10,108 --> 00:21:12,942
That is so fuego.
608
00:21:13,011 --> 00:21:14,410
[Karen] Oh, that is cute.
609
00:21:14,412 --> 00:21:15,745
And we're gonna
take these over,
610
00:21:15,813 --> 00:21:16,712
and we're gonna
put 'em in place,
611
00:21:16,714 --> 00:21:18,414
and MJ is gonna be so pleased
612
00:21:18,416 --> 00:21:21,817
that his little elves
have come and helped him
and made it really amazing.
613
00:21:21,819 --> 00:21:23,619
-We killed it, Karen.
Let's get out of here.
-We're so good at this.
614
00:21:23,621 --> 00:21:26,022
-Get out of here. Go, go.
-Tables.
615
00:21:37,802 --> 00:21:41,203
[Mina] Our kitchen at Birch
is gonna have a big dose
of luxe
616
00:21:41,205 --> 00:21:43,606
with their stone backsplash
going all the way up the wal
617
00:21:44,609 --> 00:21:46,542
[Mina laughs]
618
00:21:46,644 --> 00:21:49,045
[Mina] And MJ
was able to pull off
his spalt wood beam idea
619
00:21:49,047 --> 00:21:50,212
for a few hundred bucks
620
00:21:50,214 --> 00:21:51,847
which is gonna
draw your eye up
621
00:21:51,949 --> 00:21:53,616
and highlight
the ten foot ceilings
622
00:21:53,618 --> 00:21:55,618
which is one of
the best parts of this house
623
00:21:55,620 --> 00:21:59,388
[MJ] Hopefully,
the stair tread will be
a very similar color
624
00:21:59,390 --> 00:22:02,224
so that everything will loo
light, bright, and cohesive
625
00:22:02,226 --> 00:22:03,192
Bring that piece
of flooring in.
626
00:22:03,194 --> 00:22:04,160
-Okay.
-Let's see how close we are.
627
00:22:04,261 --> 00:22:06,929
[MJ] I mean,
that's pretty darn close.
628
00:22:06,931 --> 00:22:09,665
[Mina] Outside,
the front door has gotten
a fresh coat of rose paint,
629
00:22:11,202 --> 00:22:13,903
but the front yard
could use a bit more pizazz
630
00:22:13,905 --> 00:22:16,305
-Oh, Karen.
-[Karen shouting] Cory!
631
00:22:16,307 --> 00:22:18,541
-I hear you
-Cory!
632
00:22:18,642 --> 00:22:20,543
but I don't see you.
633
00:22:20,644 --> 00:22:23,746
-[giggles] Ah, you found me!
You found me.
-[laughs]
634
00:22:23,848 --> 00:22:28,951
When I look at
the front of this house
what I see is this imbalance,
635
00:22:29,053 --> 00:22:31,220
and I want
to use the landscaping
636
00:22:31,222 --> 00:22:34,623
to create what, to me,
feels like a better balance
637
00:22:34,625 --> 00:22:39,428
so I need a big tree
but it can't get too big.
638
00:22:39,430 --> 00:22:40,730
-This is fantastic.
-[dog yelps]
639
00:22:40,732 --> 00:22:42,064
-Shh.
-Look at
all the varieties here.
640
00:22:42,066 --> 00:22:43,999
-I know.
-All the cultivars.
641
00:22:44,001 --> 00:22:47,603
-All, what, nice work.
All the cultivars.
-Huh? Yes.
642
00:22:47,605 --> 00:22:50,206
-So, I learned a way
to remember the difference
-Wow.
643
00:22:50,208 --> 00:22:53,709
between pine, fur,
spruce, and juniper
644
00:22:53,711 --> 00:22:55,311
-which can look similar.
-Okay.
645
00:22:55,313 --> 00:22:57,747
Yeah. So this is a spruce
and you can tell.
646
00:22:58,449 --> 00:23:00,116
Touch it. It's spiky.
647
00:23:00,118 --> 00:23:01,617
-Spruce spiky.
-Spiky.
648
00:23:01,619 --> 00:23:05,054
And so for this house
because, you know,
it's a family house
649
00:23:05,122 --> 00:23:06,822
I don't really want
a spiky tree up front.
650
00:23:06,824 --> 00:23:09,091
-Okay, so what are
our other options here?
-So we're gonna look around.
651
00:23:09,093 --> 00:23:10,326
-Yeah.
-Let's go look around.
652
00:23:15,433 --> 00:23:18,801
This, to me,
looks like a pine,
653
00:23:18,803 --> 00:23:22,338
and you can tell a pine
because the leaves come
in packets.
654
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,008
But I feel like it's too big
because they get girthy, too.
655
00:23:26,010 --> 00:23:30,312
So, somewhere here
there is a vanderwolf's pine.
656
00:23:30,314 --> 00:23:32,515
It stays only, like,
30, 40 feet,
657
00:23:32,517 --> 00:23:33,949
and he doesn't get girthy.
658
00:23:34,018 --> 00:23:36,952
He's, like, 12 foot diameter
and I want to see
if we can find it.
659
00:23:37,021 --> 00:23:38,454
Let's see.
660
00:23:38,523 --> 00:23:40,523
-[Cory] Where is this tree
you speak of?
-I don't know.
661
00:23:40,525 --> 00:23:42,425
I'm still looking. Here it is.
662
00:23:42,427 --> 00:23:45,761
This little guy?
I shouldn't say little.
He's pretty big.
663
00:23:45,830 --> 00:23:50,199
-I like the way
it's a little bit more open.
-Ah, yeah, vanderwolf pine.
664
00:23:50,201 --> 00:23:52,701
-But I don't think
he's big enough.
-He's not?
665
00:23:52,703 --> 00:23:57,039
I want 10, 11 foot tree,
12 feet would be okay,
666
00:23:57,041 --> 00:24:00,409
so this will be
the biggest tree
we've ever installed.
667
00:24:00,411 --> 00:24:03,245
I'm gonna go find someone
and see if we can get
the size we want.
668
00:24:03,314 --> 00:24:04,379
[both] Yeah.
669
00:24:04,448 --> 00:24:06,248
There's got to be
a bigger one here somewhere,
670
00:24:06,350 --> 00:24:07,817
so let's see
if we can get help
loading it up.
671
00:24:07,819 --> 00:24:09,752
-Karen,
I got to go get equipment
-[laughs]
672
00:24:09,854 --> 00:24:11,554
because that's what
we're gonna need
in this world.
673
00:24:11,622 --> 00:24:13,122
I got to get Austin
on standby.
674
00:24:13,124 --> 00:24:15,958
Absolutely.
So, we need some digging,
we need some lifting.
675
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,226
Some major manpower.
676
00:24:17,228 --> 00:24:18,761
-Meet you at the house.
[chuckles]
-We'll see.
677
00:24:28,706 --> 00:24:30,406
[Mina] Upstairs at Birch,
678
00:24:30,408 --> 00:24:33,108
our super luxe
marble petal design tile
is going up in the main bath
679
00:24:35,847 --> 00:24:39,248
And the guys are installing
a large barn door
over the laundry closet.
680
00:24:39,350 --> 00:24:42,151
-It's on?
-Yeah, on it.
681
00:24:42,653 --> 00:24:43,519
Ooh.
682
00:24:43,521 --> 00:24:45,287
Look what I brought for you.
683
00:24:45,289 --> 00:24:47,723
[Mina] And Mom was able
to get the bigger tree
she was looking for
684
00:24:47,725 --> 00:24:49,725
to really pull
the front yard together.
685
00:24:49,727 --> 00:24:51,560
[Karen] Look at him
just zipping down the road.
686
00:24:53,965 --> 00:24:55,531
-Oh.
-[laughs heartily]
687
00:24:58,069 --> 00:24:59,168
-Ready?
-[Karen] Yeah.
688
00:25:03,374 --> 00:25:04,740
[Karen] Nice.
689
00:25:07,311 --> 00:25:10,846
This isn't bad at all.
We've got four shovels here.
690
00:25:10,948 --> 00:25:15,751
Okay, so, the rule of thumb
for planting a tree
691
00:25:15,820 --> 00:25:19,555
is the hole should be
twice the diameter
of the ball,
692
00:25:19,623 --> 00:25:21,624
and the depth of the hole
should be such
693
00:25:21,626 --> 00:25:25,060
that the top of the root
is just above grade.
694
00:25:25,129 --> 00:25:27,429
-Where's the excavator
when you need one?
-I know.
695
00:25:27,431 --> 00:25:29,164
It would have made it
so much easier.
696
00:25:30,234 --> 00:25:32,701
This has some strapping in it.
697
00:25:32,703 --> 00:25:35,204
It's got strapping
and it's got some metal I saw
when you picked it up.
698
00:25:35,206 --> 00:25:37,106
-[man] It got a little...
-[MJ] Oh, one of those
basket things I love?
699
00:25:37,108 --> 00:25:38,741
-Combination teeth.
-[MJ gasps]
700
00:25:38,842 --> 00:25:40,943
-[MJ] Can we save it?
-Yeah, why don't you
lift it up real quick
701
00:25:40,945 --> 00:25:43,412
-and I'll cut it?
-Yes, okay.
702
00:25:43,414 --> 00:25:45,347
Now your basket's
about to be intact.
703
00:25:45,416 --> 00:25:47,082
Around the root ball
of the pine tree
704
00:25:47,084 --> 00:25:50,953
is a metal wire basket
that we need to remove
before we plant it.
705
00:25:50,955 --> 00:25:51,987
[MJ] Okay, here we go.
706
00:25:53,424 --> 00:25:55,224
-[Austin] Hold on.
-[MJ] I love my basket.
707
00:25:55,226 --> 00:25:56,758
[Karen] All right.
708
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:01,096
-[Cory] MJ! Use your basket!
That's your wall art.
-You are the best.
709
00:26:01,098 --> 00:26:03,265
[MJ] I'm obsessed with this.
710
00:26:04,168 --> 00:26:05,768
[MJ] I love this wire baske
so much
711
00:26:05,836 --> 00:26:07,736
that I'm gonna
turn it into wall art.
712
00:26:07,838 --> 00:26:10,205
Look at you
turning trash into art.
713
00:26:10,207 --> 00:26:12,508
The student
has become the master.
714
00:26:14,045 --> 00:26:16,111
This is going to be amazing.
715
00:26:16,113 --> 00:26:18,314
[Karen] Yep, that's it.
You're there.
716
00:26:18,316 --> 00:26:20,516
Should be just about right.
All right.
717
00:26:20,518 --> 00:26:22,217
Oh, that's perfect. Yeah.
718
00:26:22,820 --> 00:26:24,153
I love this tree.
719
00:26:24,254 --> 00:26:27,756
Ohh,
look how pretty that looks.
720
00:26:27,858 --> 00:26:29,792
[Karen] In addition
to our magnificent pine,
721
00:26:29,794 --> 00:26:33,162
we're adding
some inkberry and roses
off the sidewalk
722
00:26:33,230 --> 00:26:34,964
to really welcome people
to the house.
723
00:26:36,634 --> 00:26:38,601
I mean, this looks fabulous.
724
00:26:38,603 --> 00:26:41,170
-[MJ] Welcome.
-[Karen] Welcome
to your new home.
725
00:26:47,244 --> 00:26:50,045
[Mina] We've got lots
of luxurious gold
light fixtures
726
00:26:50,047 --> 00:26:51,813
going up all over the house
727
00:26:52,917 --> 00:26:55,918
and the addition of the beam
really takes this place
to the next level
728
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,254
and actually gives
the illusion to the house
being wider than it really i
729
00:27:05,429 --> 00:27:07,529
[Mina]
You know, from the front
she doesn't look bad,
730
00:27:07,531 --> 00:27:09,531
but she's got a mean lean.
731
00:27:17,508 --> 00:27:19,642
Why is our brand new tree
falling over?
732
00:27:20,144 --> 00:27:21,243
It's a mess, Mina.
733
00:27:28,786 --> 00:27:30,819
[Mina]
Why is our brand new tree
falling over?
734
00:27:30,821 --> 00:27:32,054
She's got a mean lean.
735
00:27:33,290 --> 00:27:34,523
[Cory] This is a mess, Mina.
736
00:27:34,525 --> 00:27:35,924
This very crooked tree
737
00:27:35,926 --> 00:27:38,127
is not the first impression
I want buyers to see.
738
00:27:38,129 --> 00:27:40,729
I know, and if buyers come
and they see this tree crooked
739
00:27:40,731 --> 00:27:42,631
they're gonna want to know
what else is wrong
with the house
740
00:27:42,633 --> 00:27:43,832
and may be done poorly.
741
00:27:44,568 --> 00:27:45,534
[Karen] Hello?
742
00:27:45,536 --> 00:27:48,504
Yo, your tree bulb
is up out of the ground.
743
00:27:49,740 --> 00:27:50,406
[Karen] What?
744
00:27:50,408 --> 00:27:52,307
She's got a mean lean.
745
00:27:52,309 --> 00:27:53,509
[Cory] Because we put
the hose on it
746
00:27:53,511 --> 00:27:54,843
after we got done planting it.
747
00:27:54,845 --> 00:27:59,048
So much water
that I think it floated
out of its spot.
748
00:27:59,149 --> 00:28:02,117
[Karen] Staking it
probably makes sense.
[chuckles]
749
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,720
-Yeah, we can give it hell.
-Yeah, he said we can
give it hell.
750
00:28:04,722 --> 00:28:07,022
I'm even wearing boots
that I didn't want
to get dirty today.
751
00:28:07,024 --> 00:28:08,490
[Mina] He's even wearing boots
752
00:28:08,492 --> 00:28:09,558
-he didn't want
to get dirty today he said.
-Having a real moment.
753
00:28:09,626 --> 00:28:10,959
[Karen laughs]
754
00:28:11,028 --> 00:28:12,761
I was not prepared
to go to war
with this tree today,
755
00:28:12,863 --> 00:28:14,663
but I think I'm gonna
take one for the team.
756
00:28:14,765 --> 00:28:16,165
So, we're gonna stake the tree
757
00:28:16,233 --> 00:28:20,102
and then over time
it will develop enough
of a root system
758
00:28:20,104 --> 00:28:22,538
to hold itself upright.
759
00:28:22,639 --> 00:28:24,406
-No, that's not bad at all.
-[Austin] Oh.
760
00:28:24,408 --> 00:28:25,574
[Tad] That's not bad at all.
761
00:28:25,609 --> 00:28:26,809
We're gonna have to hold it
for a very long time
762
00:28:26,811 --> 00:28:28,110
while they run the wires
is the problem.
763
00:28:28,112 --> 00:28:29,311
-I ain't scared.
-All right.
764
00:28:29,313 --> 00:28:32,414
-You and I?
-I'm not scared,
it's just not easy.
765
00:28:32,416 --> 00:28:33,916
[Tad] We'll get it straight.
766
00:28:33,918 --> 00:28:35,818
When they need muscle
do you know who they call?
767
00:28:35,820 --> 00:28:37,553
They call Tad and Austin.
768
00:28:37,621 --> 00:28:39,421
I had suggested using a truck
to pull the tree,
769
00:28:39,423 --> 00:28:42,257
but Tad had other ideas
and suggested us instead.
770
00:28:42,359 --> 00:28:45,961
Today is gonna be
a workout, buddy,
and the yard is our gym.
771
00:28:46,497 --> 00:28:48,063
Okay, okay, heave.
772
00:28:48,132 --> 00:28:49,765
-That's the heave.
Keep going.
-Keep going.
773
00:28:49,867 --> 00:28:51,734
[Tad] Which way
does it need to go to?
774
00:28:51,736 --> 00:28:53,402
-Towards me.
-Okay.
775
00:28:53,404 --> 00:28:54,503
[Mina] More, more.
776
00:28:55,639 --> 00:28:56,939
-There we go.
-Okay?
777
00:28:57,942 --> 00:28:59,408
[Tad] It's heavier
than I anticipated.
778
00:29:01,045 --> 00:29:03,946
[Karen] Okay. All right,
let's see what she does.
779
00:29:04,849 --> 00:29:06,615
-Oh, my hands.
-[cheers]
780
00:29:07,151 --> 00:29:08,751
-Woo!
-[claps hands]
781
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:10,119
Not too bad.
782
00:29:10,121 --> 00:29:11,519
-Good job.
-All right.
783
00:29:20,664 --> 00:29:22,131
[Mina]
With the front yard
landscaping complete,
784
00:29:22,133 --> 00:29:25,534
Mom's taking some inspiratio
from our front door color
785
00:29:25,536 --> 00:29:27,636
and giving the back patio
a splash of rose
786
00:29:27,738 --> 00:29:29,204
with pink planters
and curtains.
787
00:29:32,209 --> 00:29:35,611
So, this has to go like this
to make it work.
788
00:29:35,613 --> 00:29:39,414
Wow, this is
a very little thing
that's doing a lot.
789
00:29:43,587 --> 00:29:44,620
This is super light.
790
00:29:45,523 --> 00:29:46,655
[Mina] Inside,
the guys installed
791
00:29:46,657 --> 00:29:48,257
a lightwood barn door
on the powder room,
792
00:29:50,427 --> 00:29:52,394
and MJ has just one last tou
793
00:29:52,396 --> 00:29:55,230
that'll really help
complete our luxury look
in the powder room.
794
00:29:56,767 --> 00:29:59,268
-Hello, hello.
-What's happening, high speed?
795
00:29:59,369 --> 00:30:02,604
Fancy meeting you here.
It is loud and crazy in there.
796
00:30:02,606 --> 00:30:04,306
-What's happening?
-I'll tell you what.
797
00:30:04,308 --> 00:30:05,607
What am I here doing?
798
00:30:05,609 --> 00:30:09,211
So, we're making our own
little custom backsplash.
799
00:30:09,213 --> 00:30:11,113
So, my dream for
a cute little pedestal sink
800
00:30:11,115 --> 00:30:12,514
has been completely crushed
801
00:30:12,516 --> 00:30:14,750
and we're gonna have to go
with another vanity.
802
00:30:14,852 --> 00:30:16,952
It's dark wood
and it's still super cute
803
00:30:16,954 --> 00:30:19,221
but its backsplash
doesn't fit.
804
00:30:19,223 --> 00:30:22,224
So now we're gonna have
to come up with
some custom moment
805
00:30:22,226 --> 00:30:25,460
to create a little backsplas
on the back of the vanity,
806
00:30:25,562 --> 00:30:28,130
so it can protect
the grass cloth wallpaper.
807
00:30:28,132 --> 00:30:31,667
-Okay, so,
I got three boards like this.
-Okay.
808
00:30:31,735 --> 00:30:37,940
-And one will go in the front,
behind the faucet
-The faucet.
809
00:30:38,008 --> 00:30:39,541
-as the backsplash.
-Okay.
810
00:30:39,610 --> 00:30:42,711
And then I have two
that'll go on either side
of the vanity,
811
00:30:42,713 --> 00:30:44,112
and it'll kind of do
this stance.
812
00:30:44,114 --> 00:30:46,248
-Are you ready?
I'm about to wash my hands.
-Uh-huh.
813
00:30:46,851 --> 00:30:47,716
Go like this.
814
00:30:48,319 --> 00:30:50,419
Whoa.
815
00:30:50,421 --> 00:30:53,288
It's gonna have
that much curvature to it?
816
00:30:53,290 --> 00:30:55,524
Yeah. I can call Tad.
817
00:30:56,427 --> 00:30:59,862
-I'd love to see that.
-[both laugh]
818
00:30:59,963 --> 00:31:01,129
I love Tad so much,
819
00:31:01,131 --> 00:31:02,097
-So much.
-so I wasn't gonna say
820
00:31:02,099 --> 00:31:03,532
that I'm better at carpentry
than he is
821
00:31:03,534 --> 00:31:04,967
but I think
I'm going to say now
822
00:31:04,969 --> 00:31:06,435
that I'm better at carpentry
than he is.
823
00:31:06,437 --> 00:31:08,370
And I think for today
and all future projects
824
00:31:08,405 --> 00:31:10,205
I'm going
to remain Switzerland.
825
00:31:10,207 --> 00:31:12,541
-We're gonna jigsaw out
the shape first,
-Yeah.
826
00:31:12,643 --> 00:31:13,742
and then what we can do
827
00:31:13,744 --> 00:31:16,411
is take my new
high speed router
that I grabbed.
828
00:31:16,413 --> 00:31:17,546
So we're gonna use that
829
00:31:17,615 --> 00:31:18,947
-to create
our little decorative edge.
-Okay.
830
00:31:19,049 --> 00:31:21,116
Wow.
831
00:31:21,118 --> 00:31:22,851
And then what I was
thinking, MJ...
832
00:31:24,655 --> 00:31:26,822
Do you want another
detail like this?
833
00:31:26,824 --> 00:31:28,924
[MJ Coyle] Yeah! Oh, yeah!
834
00:31:42,907 --> 00:31:44,306
Take it inside,
see what it does.
835
00:31:44,308 --> 00:31:45,340
Yeah!
836
00:31:45,409 --> 00:31:46,408
Let's see this dog hunt.
837
00:31:47,044 --> 00:31:48,110
Oh, it's going to hunt.
838
00:31:48,112 --> 00:31:49,177
[MJ] Oh, we'll see.
839
00:31:50,214 --> 00:31:52,447
[Cory Miller] I mean,
stand back and look at it,
840
00:31:52,549 --> 00:31:53,515
it's really sick!
841
00:31:53,517 --> 00:31:54,816
[MJ] That is pretty hot!
842
00:31:54,818 --> 00:31:57,853
[Cory] It looks
so expensive, too!
843
00:31:57,922 --> 00:31:58,787
Yaa!
844
00:31:58,789 --> 00:32:00,756
-Yaa!
-[laughing]
845
00:32:00,857 --> 00:32:03,592
[MJ] It's gonna look amazin
when we get it stained.
846
00:32:03,594 --> 00:32:05,027
I'm gonna take this
to color match.
847
00:32:05,029 --> 00:32:06,495
The best powder room
we've ever done.
848
00:32:06,497 --> 00:32:07,795
This is sick.
849
00:32:07,797 --> 00:32:09,431
-And no one died.
-And I didn't have
to do the wallpaper.
850
00:32:18,509 --> 00:32:19,808
[MJ] 'Kay, this guy's done.
851
00:32:19,810 --> 00:32:22,110
[Karen Laine]
It looks really good!
852
00:32:22,813 --> 00:32:23,612
Great.
853
00:32:24,815 --> 00:32:26,214
Let's see how this goes.
854
00:32:26,216 --> 00:32:27,215
[Karen] Let's see.
855
00:32:27,217 --> 00:32:28,817
[MJ] I'm a little bit nervous!
856
00:32:30,521 --> 00:32:32,621
[Karen] Look at how
good that looks!
857
00:32:32,623 --> 00:32:34,957
I really stuck my foot
in this powder room,
I must say.
858
00:32:35,626 --> 00:32:36,858
You stuck your foot in it?
859
00:32:36,927 --> 00:32:38,026
Is that how you say that?
860
00:32:38,028 --> 00:32:39,795
Like, really went
for it. Really...
861
00:32:39,797 --> 00:32:41,029
Is that how you say it?
862
00:32:41,031 --> 00:32:42,431
I don't know, I've never
heard that expression before,
863
00:32:42,433 --> 00:32:44,199
which doesn't mean
it's not a real expression.
864
00:32:44,201 --> 00:32:46,168
-You kids these days.
-Might not be.
865
00:32:46,236 --> 00:32:47,569
[Karen] Well,
this is fabulous.
866
00:32:58,015 --> 00:32:59,514
-And the stairs are in!
-Yep!
867
00:32:59,516 --> 00:33:00,816
No handrail,
I can live with that.
868
00:33:00,818 --> 00:33:02,818
We'll need to get one
before we sell,
869
00:33:02,820 --> 00:33:05,954
but it look so cool,
let's just show it like
this this weekend.
870
00:33:05,956 --> 00:33:07,522
-It's fine.
-No couch yet?
871
00:33:07,524 --> 00:33:08,657
-No couch yet.
-Okay.
872
00:33:08,725 --> 00:33:10,192
-It'll be here.
-But we have steps...
873
00:33:10,194 --> 00:33:11,426
-Yep.
-...so we can take some
of this stuff upstairs, right?
874
00:33:11,428 --> 00:33:12,461
All up to the main bedroom.
875
00:33:12,463 --> 00:33:13,462
[Mina Starsiak]
This goes upstairs? Okay.
876
00:33:13,563 --> 00:33:14,629
I'm gonna start
taking stuff up.
877
00:33:21,405 --> 00:33:23,205
What else goes up?
878
00:33:23,207 --> 00:33:25,207
-Um, this guy. Yep.
-Okay.
879
00:33:27,945 --> 00:33:30,112
We're bringing in a lot
of elegant pieces
880
00:33:30,114 --> 00:33:32,614
that are going
to play into our small,
881
00:33:32,616 --> 00:33:34,216
but luxurious theme.
882
00:33:34,218 --> 00:33:35,283
-Kitchen?
-Yep.
883
00:33:36,620 --> 00:33:39,221
The plan is to finish
all the staging this week
884
00:33:39,223 --> 00:33:41,356
so we can show
the house next week.
885
00:33:41,425 --> 00:33:43,258
And I already have
one showing lined up
886
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:44,626
with a buyer on Friday,
887
00:33:44,628 --> 00:33:46,762
so, Hannah, who bought
one our houses on Charles,
888
00:33:46,830 --> 00:33:49,865
her boyfriend is also
interested in buying a house
889
00:33:49,900 --> 00:33:51,933
and maybe it will be one
890
00:33:51,935 --> 00:33:53,468
they can live
together in eventually.
891
00:33:53,504 --> 00:33:55,537
So, we're staging the house
with him in mind,
892
00:33:55,639 --> 00:33:58,106
and making some of the rooms
a little more masculine.
893
00:33:58,108 --> 00:34:01,309
The beams just really make
the room come together, MJ.
894
00:34:01,311 --> 00:34:04,913
[MJ] You know, it was
feeling a little thin,
895
00:34:04,915 --> 00:34:06,648
but these kinda
make it look...
896
00:34:06,717 --> 00:34:08,417
-They make it look
a little girthy.
-Yeah.
897
00:34:08,419 --> 00:34:10,218
-[Mina] Right?
-[MJ] Super girthy.
898
00:34:10,220 --> 00:34:11,153
[Mina] Okay...
899
00:34:11,822 --> 00:34:13,555
There we go. Okay.
900
00:34:15,459 --> 00:34:18,093
Between the beams, the gold
fixtures, the gold pendants
901
00:34:18,095 --> 00:34:20,462
the chandeliers, like,
all the elegant decor,
902
00:34:20,564 --> 00:34:22,831
we've really kicked this tiny
house up a couple notches.
903
00:34:24,902 --> 00:34:26,001
[MJ] Even though it's small
904
00:34:26,003 --> 00:34:27,736
it's very sophisticated
and elegant.
905
00:34:30,007 --> 00:34:32,307
[Mina] I'm not gonna lie,
this thing turned out cool.
906
00:34:32,309 --> 00:34:34,443
Wow, thank you! Tree trash!
907
00:34:35,412 --> 00:34:37,245
There was a wire root
cage around the tree
908
00:34:37,314 --> 00:34:39,047
that we planted out front,
so I took it home,
909
00:34:39,049 --> 00:34:41,917
spray painted it, and we're
gonna make it into an art
piece for the wall.
910
00:34:41,919 --> 00:34:43,518
[Mina] It's gonna add
a little bit of edginess,
911
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,421
I think it's gonna make
the room feel a little
more masculine.
912
00:34:46,423 --> 00:34:48,924
Hopefully, it's gonna
be Zack's vibe, uh,
913
00:34:48,926 --> 00:34:52,027
'cause, uh, we were a little
self-indulgent with the pink
and gold.
914
00:34:52,029 --> 00:34:54,663
Don't make assumptions
about how guys feel about
pink and gold,
915
00:34:54,764 --> 00:34:55,497
they could love it.
916
00:34:55,499 --> 00:34:57,032
Let's hope so.
917
00:34:58,635 --> 00:35:01,937
I haven't done, like, a more
masculine-leaning bedroom
in a long time.
918
00:35:01,939 --> 00:35:02,904
It's good!
919
00:35:02,906 --> 00:35:04,606
It's very exciting!
920
00:35:14,618 --> 00:35:16,051
[Karen] Good morning, guys!
921
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:17,419
-[Hannah] Good morning!
-[Zack] Hey, good morning.
922
00:35:17,421 --> 00:35:18,954
-[Mina] Good to see you again.
-Hello, hello!
923
00:35:18,956 --> 00:35:21,223
We're in The Valley,
which is really close to you.
924
00:35:21,225 --> 00:35:23,358
Um, so, welcome to The Valley.
925
00:35:24,027 --> 00:35:25,227
-Oh, wow!
-Oh, wow!
926
00:35:32,402 --> 00:35:33,802
-Oh, my goodness!
-Wow.
927
00:35:33,804 --> 00:35:35,504
This is stunning!
928
00:35:35,506 --> 00:35:36,738
So, this was an empty lot,
929
00:35:36,807 --> 00:35:39,040
and, honestly, didn't even
look like a lot existed
930
00:35:39,109 --> 00:35:41,243
'cause there was a fence
here that was so overgrown.
931
00:35:41,344 --> 00:35:43,011
But once we were able
to cut that all back,
932
00:35:43,013 --> 00:35:44,813
you've got a good size lot,
and you've got parking
in the back.
933
00:35:44,815 --> 00:35:46,081
It's a good time to get in.
934
00:35:46,083 --> 00:35:47,916
This house in Fountain Square
would probably be about
935
00:35:47,918 --> 00:35:49,818
$480,000 would be my guess.
936
00:35:49,820 --> 00:35:51,085
Oh, wow!
937
00:35:51,154 --> 00:35:53,922
-And it's the bargain
price of $289,000!
-[laughing]
938
00:35:55,959 --> 00:35:57,959
[Mina] Outside, we went
with board and batten sidin
939
00:35:57,961 --> 00:35:59,728
to make it feel a little
bit more modern.
940
00:35:59,730 --> 00:36:02,063
Um, went with that darker
color to kind of ground it,
941
00:36:02,065 --> 00:36:03,298
but white trim.
942
00:36:03,300 --> 00:36:05,634
Um, the front door color,
we wanted a pop of color.
943
00:36:05,636 --> 00:36:06,902
She's pretty for sure.
944
00:36:06,904 --> 00:36:08,270
It looks good, right?
945
00:36:08,305 --> 00:36:10,839
-Yeah.
-And it matches
the flowers in the front.
946
00:36:10,941 --> 00:36:12,340
-[Zack] Beautiful.
-[Karen] And I leaned
into the pink
947
00:36:12,442 --> 00:36:13,742
with the landscaping.
948
00:36:13,810 --> 00:36:15,043
[Hannah] Stunning.
949
00:36:15,045 --> 00:36:16,711
[Zack] I love all those
windows right out front.
950
00:36:16,713 --> 00:36:18,413
It's super open,
I can just imagine
951
00:36:18,415 --> 00:36:19,548
all the life that's
gonna be in there.
952
00:36:19,649 --> 00:36:20,949
Pretty soon, you won't
have to imagine,
953
00:36:20,951 --> 00:36:22,050
we should go inside.
954
00:36:22,052 --> 00:36:23,718
-Yeah, yeah let's do that.
-Let's do it.
955
00:36:23,720 --> 00:36:24,753
[Karen laughing]
956
00:36:28,158 --> 00:36:29,658
Ta-da!
957
00:36:30,727 --> 00:36:32,027
-Oh, wow!
-Oh, awesome!
958
00:36:32,629 --> 00:36:33,828
[Hannah] Holy cow!
959
00:36:34,731 --> 00:36:36,364
[Zack] Oh,
it's amazing in here.
960
00:36:47,711 --> 00:36:49,044
Ta-da!
961
00:36:50,113 --> 00:36:51,613
-Oh, wow!
-Oh, awesome!
962
00:36:59,156 --> 00:37:01,022
-[Mina] What do you think?
-[Hannah] Holy cow!
963
00:37:01,024 --> 00:37:02,824
-Oh, it's amazing in here.
-This is stunning.
964
00:37:02,826 --> 00:37:04,426
Because it's
all-new construction,
965
00:37:04,428 --> 00:37:05,860
um, went a little crazy,
966
00:37:05,962 --> 00:37:08,263
and decided to do
very high ceilings.
967
00:37:08,966 --> 00:37:10,265
And then we added some beams
968
00:37:10,367 --> 00:37:12,601
These aren't actually
structural, there just prett
969
00:37:12,603 --> 00:37:14,603
And it's a really nice
big open floorplan.
970
00:37:14,605 --> 00:37:16,605
I feel like this is
the perfect entertaining
space
971
00:37:16,607 --> 00:37:18,506
with the layout
with the kitchen
right in between
972
00:37:18,508 --> 00:37:20,308
'cause everyone just hangs out
there, that's where you land.
973
00:37:20,310 --> 00:37:21,209
Absolutely.
974
00:37:21,211 --> 00:37:22,444
But you can see everything,
975
00:37:22,446 --> 00:37:23,478
we've got the floors all
the way throughout,
976
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:24,746
these are EVP.
977
00:37:24,815 --> 00:37:26,615
They're super, super durable
978
00:37:26,617 --> 00:37:27,548
[Zack] Beautifu
979
00:37:27,550 --> 00:37:30,218
And I love the stairs
as-is so much,
980
00:37:30,220 --> 00:37:31,552
there is no
handrail right now,
981
00:37:31,554 --> 00:37:33,421
which is not to code,
but I didn't wanna put one u
982
00:37:33,423 --> 00:37:35,156
'cause I wanted you
to see it fully open.
983
00:37:35,225 --> 00:37:37,926
It looks beautiful, I like
living life on the edge,
984
00:37:37,928 --> 00:37:40,095
-no handrail, I'll risk it.
-[laughing]
985
00:37:40,097 --> 00:37:43,031
[Zack] This isn't like your
typical starter home.
986
00:37:43,033 --> 00:37:46,067
Yeah, the finishes do not
scream, "Starter home,"
987
00:37:46,069 --> 00:37:49,104
but the price point does.
988
00:37:49,106 --> 00:37:51,640
So, just keep that
in the back of your noodle.
989
00:37:51,741 --> 00:37:52,940
Let's go take in the kitchen,
990
00:37:52,942 --> 00:37:54,743
and you can throw your coats
on the bench if you want.
991
00:37:57,748 --> 00:37:58,947
Oh, wow!
992
00:37:59,516 --> 00:38:01,016
This is amazing!
993
00:38:01,618 --> 00:38:03,752
[Mina] Just a big island!
994
00:38:03,853 --> 00:38:04,953
Love a big island.
995
00:38:04,955 --> 00:38:08,123
[Mina] This is quartzite,
it's so beautiful.
996
00:38:08,125 --> 00:38:09,858
Has really,
really cool veining.
997
00:38:09,926 --> 00:38:11,126
There's, like,
some spots that have,
998
00:38:11,128 --> 00:38:12,594
like, a little bit
of a hunter green,
999
00:38:12,596 --> 00:38:14,963
and there's gold and brown,
lots of movement,
1000
00:38:14,965 --> 00:38:16,765
and this is just huge.
1001
00:38:16,833 --> 00:38:19,067
And we have a little surpris
for you under the stairs.
1002
00:38:19,836 --> 00:38:22,170
-Oh, wow!
-Oh my goodness.
1003
00:38:22,238 --> 00:38:24,139
It already has a cart
ready to go,
1004
00:38:24,207 --> 00:38:25,940
you could literally
put it all in there.
1005
00:38:25,942 --> 00:38:28,209
-Oh, you have
a bar cart already?
-[Hannah] He has a bar cart.
1006
00:38:28,211 --> 00:38:30,745
-[Zack] I do.
-You're ready, bro!
You're so ready.
1007
00:38:30,847 --> 00:38:32,314
-[Hannah] So, yeah.
-But take a little
spin around.
1008
00:38:32,316 --> 00:38:34,449
Look at your
really fancy stove.
1009
00:38:34,551 --> 00:38:35,883
- That is not...
-[Zack] Oh, wow!
1010
00:38:35,919 --> 00:38:38,353
-[Mina] ...a first-time
homebuyer's stove.
-[Hannah] Amazing.
1011
00:38:38,455 --> 00:38:41,423
We've got the backsplash
going all the way up,
1012
00:38:41,425 --> 00:38:43,358
and other than it
just being pretty,
1013
00:38:43,427 --> 00:38:45,694
it makes it so easy to clean.
1014
00:38:45,696 --> 00:38:46,928
'Cause you don't
have any grout lines.
1015
00:38:46,930 --> 00:38:48,163
[Hannah] Very nice.
1016
00:38:48,231 --> 00:38:49,331
[Mina] Which one's
the cleaner?
1017
00:38:50,734 --> 00:38:51,866
I like to clean.
1018
00:38:51,935 --> 00:38:53,935
-I like a nice tidy space.
-[Mina] Yeah, no!
1019
00:38:53,937 --> 00:38:55,303
[Hannah] Very,
extremely clean.
1020
00:38:55,305 --> 00:38:57,405
You know, there's always
gonna be one person
1021
00:38:57,407 --> 00:38:59,240
who is more of a cleaner
than the other person.
1022
00:38:59,309 --> 00:39:00,742
So, it's okay.
1023
00:39:00,844 --> 00:39:02,310
He's enjoying himself,
just let him.
1024
00:39:02,312 --> 00:39:04,045
[laughing]
1025
00:39:04,114 --> 00:39:06,514
We don't usually show
off the powder rooms,
1026
00:39:06,516 --> 00:39:08,450
but this one is
really, really cute.
1027
00:39:09,419 --> 00:39:10,852
-[Hannah] Oh, wow!
-Wow!
1028
00:39:15,959 --> 00:39:18,727
Oh, my gosh,
this is super neat.
1029
00:39:18,729 --> 00:39:20,261
-Very nice.
-[Hannah] Mmm-hmm.
1030
00:39:20,363 --> 00:39:22,063
The wallpaper's incredible.
1031
00:39:22,065 --> 00:39:23,331
[Mina] And you've
got a nice vanity
1032
00:39:23,333 --> 00:39:25,033
with marble top out here.
1033
00:39:25,035 --> 00:39:28,069
MJ made that curved edge,
1034
00:39:28,105 --> 00:39:30,105
and it is a really
good example
1035
00:39:30,107 --> 00:39:32,807
of how a really small additi
1036
00:39:32,809 --> 00:39:34,309
can change a whole space.
1037
00:39:34,311 --> 00:39:36,344
[Mina] I feel like we're
having a really lovely time
1038
00:39:36,413 --> 00:39:38,012
just hanging out
in your powder room,
1039
00:39:38,014 --> 00:39:39,948
I think we can go
check out the dining
room a little closer.
1040
00:39:39,950 --> 00:39:41,081
[Zack] Let's do it.
1041
00:39:43,954 --> 00:39:45,520
-Oh, wow.
-Oh, man, it looks
awesome out here.
1042
00:39:45,522 --> 00:39:46,821
[Hannah] I love it!
1043
00:39:53,463 --> 00:39:55,530
[Mina] We have five seats
around this round,
1044
00:39:55,532 --> 00:39:57,966
and these are large armchair
1045
00:39:57,968 --> 00:40:00,935
If you had a table going
longways with an extender,
1046
00:40:00,937 --> 00:40:03,605
you could fit a lot more
people in here if you
wanted to.
1047
00:40:03,607 --> 00:40:05,607
-Um...
-Awesome for hosting
for sure.
1048
00:40:05,609 --> 00:40:07,275
[Mina] Yeah!
1049
00:40:07,277 --> 00:40:09,344
-We're gonna go around back
and check out the back yard.
-[Hannah] Okay!
1050
00:40:14,451 --> 00:40:16,317
[Mina] You've got a nice
little covered patio back
here.
1051
00:40:16,319 --> 00:40:17,352
[Hannah] Oh, wow!
1052
00:40:17,454 --> 00:40:19,320
Oh, and all the pink,
it matches the front door.
1053
00:40:19,322 --> 00:40:20,522
-[Hannah chuckling]
-[Zack] Beautiful.
1054
00:40:20,524 --> 00:40:22,757
[Karen] I leaned
hard into the pink.
1055
00:40:26,029 --> 00:40:28,163
You can put any color
curtain you want up here.
1056
00:40:28,231 --> 00:40:31,065
You can close them when it's
not windy for more privacy.
1057
00:40:31,134 --> 00:40:32,700
But, you know, here you go.
1058
00:40:32,702 --> 00:40:34,068
[Hannah] Oh, I love this,
1059
00:40:34,137 --> 00:40:36,204
[Karen] Yeah,
just enjoy yourselves,
sit in the sunshine.
1060
00:40:36,206 --> 00:40:38,339
But also, there were
two of these
1061
00:40:38,441 --> 00:40:40,708
under a bunch of
construction debris,
1062
00:40:40,710 --> 00:40:43,311
and Cory and I turned
it into a table.
1063
00:40:43,313 --> 00:40:44,311
[Hannah] Very nice.
1064
00:40:44,381 --> 00:40:46,114
We still have some
awesome spaces upstairs,
1065
00:40:46,116 --> 00:40:47,816
so, let's go back up there.
1066
00:40:47,818 --> 00:40:48,616
[Zack] Let's do it.
1067
00:40:53,457 --> 00:40:54,522
Oh, wow.
1068
00:40:56,326 --> 00:40:57,826
[Zack] Oh,
it's beautiful in here.
1069
00:41:03,967 --> 00:41:06,501
I love the light
fixture so much.
1070
00:41:06,503 --> 00:41:08,068
[Mina] You've got a decent
size main bedroom,
1071
00:41:08,070 --> 00:41:09,938
and there's great natural
light coming through
the windows.
1072
00:41:09,940 --> 00:41:13,007
And this is a queen, but yo
could easily fit a king.
1073
00:41:13,009 --> 00:41:14,209
-I love it.
-[Karen] Yeah.
1074
00:41:14,211 --> 00:41:16,144
Behind another super
cute barn door,
1075
00:41:16,213 --> 00:41:17,812
we've got your
full bath ensuite
1076
00:41:17,814 --> 00:41:19,614
with double vanity.
1077
00:41:19,616 --> 00:41:20,715
[Hannah] Oh, wow!
1078
00:41:22,619 --> 00:41:23,518
Oh!
1079
00:41:24,955 --> 00:41:27,255
It's awesome in here.
1080
00:41:27,324 --> 00:41:29,757
[Hannah] The double
sink with the vanity!
1081
00:41:29,826 --> 00:41:31,626
[gasps] Oh, my goodness!
1082
00:41:31,628 --> 00:41:33,261
[Zack] I love the tile
work back here.
1083
00:41:33,296 --> 00:41:34,729
[Hannah] This is very pretty
1084
00:41:34,731 --> 00:41:37,065
[Zack] I mean,
the shower's massive!
1085
00:41:37,133 --> 00:41:38,566
-[Hannah] That is
a really big shower.
-[Zack] Love it.
1086
00:41:38,635 --> 00:41:39,667
[Mina] Let's go
back downstairs
1087
00:41:39,736 --> 00:41:40,869
and we can go
through the numbers.
1088
00:41:43,940 --> 00:41:47,041
So, he is
in a rental situation
1089
00:41:47,143 --> 00:41:48,409
for, what,
four or five more months?
1090
00:41:48,411 --> 00:41:49,444
Yes.
1091
00:41:49,546 --> 00:41:51,946
And whether or not
you end up buying right now
1092
00:41:52,015 --> 00:41:54,516
or in, you know, three,
four, five months,
1093
00:41:54,518 --> 00:41:57,418
I think looking at a couple
houses, that'll help you
make the decision.
1094
00:41:57,420 --> 00:41:59,320
Yeah, definitely have
a lot to think about,
1095
00:41:59,322 --> 00:42:00,922
but, I mean,
the house is beautiful.
1096
00:42:00,924 --> 00:42:03,157
I have no complaints on it,
I absolutely love it,
1097
00:42:03,226 --> 00:42:05,460
and would be very lucky
to end up in here.
1098
00:42:05,562 --> 00:42:07,462
-So, it's a lot to think on.
-[Karen] Yeah.
1099
00:42:09,533 --> 00:42:12,367
[Mina] Bought this property
for around $10,000,
1100
00:42:12,435 --> 00:42:14,502
and was hoping to stay,
you know,
1101
00:42:14,504 --> 00:42:17,705
ideally, under $200,000 or so.
1102
00:42:17,707 --> 00:42:19,307
But because it's
a newer neighborhood,
1103
00:42:19,309 --> 00:42:22,243
we really wanted to put som
wow factor into this house.
1104
00:42:22,312 --> 00:42:24,212
So, we added some
more high-end finishes
1105
00:42:24,214 --> 00:42:26,681
that we would normally
not do for a starter home
1106
00:42:26,683 --> 00:42:28,016
to really draw in buyers.
1107
00:42:28,018 --> 00:42:29,918
So, we went a bit over budge
1108
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,420
knowing it's gonna be
a loss-leader for us.
1109
00:42:32,422 --> 00:42:36,224
Our profit margin's
gonna be pretty,
pretty slim on this one.
1110
00:42:36,226 --> 00:42:38,426
And while Zack decided
the timing isn't gonna
work out
1111
00:42:38,428 --> 00:42:39,727
for him on this house,
1112
00:42:39,729 --> 00:42:41,329
I'm hoping someone
will grab it up soon
1113
00:42:41,331 --> 00:42:43,665
because this is our second
house in The Valley.
1114
00:42:43,766 --> 00:42:47,669
We have half a dozen or so
more that we're rolling into.
1115
00:42:47,737 --> 00:42:50,405
[Karen] And I always love
to see neighborhoods grow.
1116
00:42:50,407 --> 00:42:52,640
That's why we do what we do
1117
00:42:52,709 --> 00:42:55,209
[Mina] There's a lot
of exciting things
to come for this area,
1118
00:42:55,211 --> 00:42:56,811
and we can't wait
to be a part of it.
