next our list? 638 00:24:15,867 --> 00:24:16,900 [Garrett] We'll start on windows. 639 00:24:16,900 --> 00:24:18,700 You gotta get the glass company to get it cut, 640 00:24:18,700 --> 00:24:20,700 getting them framed in, and then we can 641 00:24:20,700 --> 00:24:22,600 start rock and rolling with finishing the inside. 642 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,066 Sheetrock, insulation, get our countertops 643 00:24:25,066 --> 00:24:27,767 picked out, cabinets, and roll on along. 644 00:24:27,767 --> 00:24:30,266 I'm so excited for the glass windows in the front. 645 00:24:30,266 --> 00:24:31,667 Let all that natural light in. 646 00:24:31,667 --> 00:24:33,066 It's gonna be beautiful. 647 00:24:37,066 --> 00:24:39,533 [dramatic music playing] 648 00:24:41,767 --> 00:24:44,500 [Ally] I'm just checking out the process of our build, 649 00:24:44,500 --> 00:24:47,900 unfortunately we have a huge dilemma. 650 00:24:47,900 --> 00:24:49,567 We're waiting on our windows. 651 00:24:49,567 --> 00:24:52,500 Jeremy and his crew cannot work anymore 652 00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:53,867 until our windows arrive. 653 00:24:53,867 --> 00:24:56,567 And we have no estimated time of delivery 654 00:24:56,567 --> 00:24:58,200 or when they'll be here. 655 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,467 So that is incredibly frustrating. 656 00:25:01,467 --> 00:25:03,367 I thought we'd be dried in by now, 657 00:25:03,367 --> 00:25:05,767 but until these windows get here, 658 00:25:05,767 --> 00:25:07,200 we're at a complete standstill, 659 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,000 which really puts a wrench in our timeline. 660 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,066 Super, super frustrating. 661 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,433 [country music playing] 662 00:25:21,867 --> 00:25:23,767 [Ally] We have been waiting for what feels 663 00:25:23,767 --> 00:25:26,667 like months for these windows. 664 00:25:26,667 --> 00:25:28,967 Nothing can be done on the interior 665 00:25:28,967 --> 00:25:31,800 and that's the fun part for me is doing the interior, 666 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,734 designing everything, making it all come together. 667 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,800 So the windows are arriving today 668 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,500 and I could not be happier. 669 00:25:39,500 --> 00:25:41,700 I just hope the weather holds out 670 00:25:41,700 --> 00:25:44,000 and hope the guys get here and work really hard. 671

house. 674 00:25:50,066 --> 00:25:51,900 And so we have a specialty crew to come 675 00:25:51,900 --> 00:25:54,634 and install those larger windows into the build. 676 00:25:57,367 --> 00:25:58,700 I'm a little afraid of heights, 677 00:25:58,700 --> 00:26:01,166 I risked it with the nail gun on the roof, 678 00:26:01,166 --> 00:26:02,767 but I think I'm gonna sit this one out 679 00:26:02,767 --> 00:26:04,967 because these windows are super heavy. 680 00:26:04,967 --> 00:26:07,600 [man in foreign language] 681 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:08,700 [Garrett] These guys are working really hard. 682
