1
00:00:01,467 --> 00:00:02,700
Every Forever Home
has its own story.
2
00:00:02,734 --> 00:00:04,166
And we can't wait
to help tell it.
3
00:00:04,166 --> 00:00:06,533
It's been in our family
for generations.
4
00:00:06,533 --> 00:00:08,100
Let me smash.
Let me smash.
5
00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:09,000
[man] This is the next step.
6
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,634
[woman]
The next chapter
in my life.
7
00:00:11,266 --> 00:00:12,166
Hayya.
8
00:00:12,166 --> 00:00:13,000
-[man] Love it.
-Whoo!
9
00:00:14,367 --> 00:00:16,266
After you. Welcome home.
10
00:00:16,367 --> 00:00:17,800
-[woman] Oh, my goodness.
-[man] Look at this.
11
00:00:18,100 --> 00:00:19,367
Oh, wow.
12
00:00:19,367 --> 00:00:20,266
Let's go.
13
00:00:20,367 --> 00:00:21,266
It feels like home.
14
00:00:21,367 --> 00:00:22,166
[grunting effort]
15
00:00:23,734 --> 00:00:25,000
Come on for a group hug.
16
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:25,867
[all laughing]
17
00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:35,100
[banging noises]
18
00:00:35,166 --> 00:00:38,100
I saw the video.
I'm very happy,
19
00:00:38,166 --> 00:00:40,700
that Brian and Ephie
decided to stop moving
every two seconds.
20
00:00:40,734 --> 00:00:42,533
-[chuckles]
-And settle down in a home.
21
00:00:42,533 --> 00:00:44,800
I think Brian is just
like our dad.
22
00:00:44,867 --> 00:00:48,266
We moved a bunch, because
they just wanted
the best for their kids.
23
00:00:48,367 --> 00:00:50,000
And I think Brian
wants the same for his kids.
24
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,166
-We will make
this house perfect.
-We will make it happen.
25
00:00:53,734 --> 00:00:57,700
-So I would say, we met around
19-20 years ago.
-Nineteen, yeah.
26
00:00:57,734 --> 00:01:00,000
-[Brian] 17 years ago,
we got married.
-We got married.
27
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:00,367
-[Brian] 17 years ago,
we got married.
-We got married.
28
00:01:00,367 --> 00:01:01,000
[Brian] Our daughter is Layla.
She's 13 years old.
29
00:01:02,867 --> 00:01:05,066
And we have a son named Reid,
who's 11 years old.
30
00:01:05,066 --> 00:01:08,867
Since I've lived with Ephie,
we have moved
six different times.
31
00:01:08,867 --> 00:01:10,166
[Ephie] Brian gets antsy.
32
00:01:10,166 --> 00:01:12,600
[Brian] Yeah, I have
a tendency of wanting
to change houses
33
00:01:12,634 --> 00:01:13,700
every couple of years.
34
00:01:13,734 --> 00:01:15,100
So, when we got this place,
35
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:18,367
we finally found
the community that we
wanted to land in forever.
36
00:01:18,367 --> 00:01:20,867
[Ephie] My forever home
is still forever.
37
00:01:20,867 --> 00:01:24,166
My mom is living there,
just down the street.
38
00:01:24,166 --> 00:01:26,166
When my mom came here
from the Philippines,
39
00:01:26,166 --> 00:01:28,066
her American dream was that
40
00:01:28,066 --> 00:01:30,000
her kids would be able
to buy a house.
41
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,166
her kids would be able
to buy a house.
42
00:01:30,166 --> 00:01:31,000
She helped raise our kids
43
00:01:32,066 --> 00:01:34,266
when we were both
full-time working.
44
00:01:34,266 --> 00:01:37,367
She's just really
the heart of the family.
45
00:01:37,367 --> 00:01:40,100
I just love having one house
46
00:01:40,166 --> 00:01:42,000
that has all these memories.
47
00:01:42,066 --> 00:01:44,367
We've moved quite a bit.
We need some roots.
48
00:01:44,367 --> 00:01:45,967
Our kids are like,
49
00:01:45,967 --> 00:01:48,800
-"Dad, we have our
forever home."
-[Brian laughs]
50
00:01:48,867 --> 00:01:52,166
I'm ready to take this house
and turn it into
51
00:01:52,166 --> 00:01:53,867
the absolute perfect
home for us.
52
00:01:59,166 --> 00:02:00,000
San Marino is like a postcard.
53
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,000
San Marino is like a postcard.
54
00:02:01,467 --> 00:02:03,266
It's gorgeous.
Very friendly neighborhood.
55
00:02:03,266 --> 00:02:05,166
My gosh.
This is like the dream.
56
00:02:08,867 --> 00:02:10,533
-Hello.
-Oh, I'm looking up here.
57
00:02:10,533 --> 00:02:11,867
Oh, hello there.
58
00:02:11,867 --> 00:02:13,000
-How are you?
-[Brian] Hi. Come in.
59
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,734
-[Drew] How are you?
-[Jonathan]
What a gorgeous home.
60
00:02:14,734 --> 00:02:16,000
Thank you.
61
00:02:16,066 --> 00:02:17,066
[Drew] And how long
have you lived here?
62
00:02:17,066 --> 00:02:19,867
[Ephie] So we moved here
almost three years ago.
63
00:02:19,867 --> 00:02:22,467
I'm already realizing
one thing that's probably
bugging you,
64
00:02:22,467 --> 00:02:24,500
is that it looks like
it's very compartmentalized.
65
00:02:24,533 --> 00:02:27,500
-Yeah.
-We are a house
with separated rooms for sure.
66
00:02:27,533 --> 00:02:29,066
Well, you bought
a historic home.
67
00:02:29,700 --> 00:02:30,000
So, this would be '20s?
68
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,000
So, this would be '20s?
69
00:02:31,533 --> 00:02:33,367
-[Brian] 1927, yeah.
-[Jonathan] '27? Okay.
70
00:02:33,367 --> 00:02:34,967
But then you look out here
and you're like,
71
00:02:34,967 --> 00:02:36,500
ooh la la.
72
00:02:36,533 --> 00:02:38,867
[Brian] Yeah, this was one
of the reason we
got the house, for sure.
73
00:02:38,867 --> 00:02:40,600
'Cause I've always liked
a gigantic great room.
74
00:02:40,634 --> 00:02:43,967
A place for all the family
to sit down
and hang out together.
75
00:02:43,967 --> 00:02:45,100
I mean, this room
does look nice.
76
00:02:45,100 --> 00:02:46,734
Is this indicative
of your style?
77
00:02:46,734 --> 00:02:48,500
[Brian] We definitely
love the Spanish style.
78
00:02:48,533 --> 00:02:50,533
So it's something that we'd
love to keep if we can,
79
00:02:50,533 --> 00:02:52,066
um, but make it more modern.
80
00:02:52,066 --> 00:02:54,100
So, why don't you show us
where you do want to spend
the renovation money.
81
00:02:54,166 --> 00:02:55,533
Yeah, right over here.
82
00:02:55,533 --> 00:02:57,533
So this is the room where
our kids spend a lot of time
83
00:02:57,533 --> 00:02:59,166
playing board games,
playing video games.
84
00:02:59,266 --> 00:03:00,000
So I've always loved to have
a separate space for them.
85
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,000
So I've always loved to have
a separate space for them.
86
00:03:01,166 --> 00:03:02,467
-[Ephie] Yes.
-[Drew] It's really important.
87
00:03:02,467 --> 00:03:04,367
-You're gonna have two
teenagers very soon.
-[Brian] Yeah.
88
00:03:04,367 --> 00:03:06,266
Do you have frustrations
with this room?
89
00:03:06,266 --> 00:03:08,967
Yeah, it's just closed
off to everything.
90
00:03:08,967 --> 00:03:12,467
I mean, you can kind of see
the dining area from here.
91
00:03:12,467 --> 00:03:13,867
But you don't see
the kitchen at all.
92
00:03:13,867 --> 00:03:16,600
So I kind of have to have,
you know, one eye on the kids,
93
00:03:16,634 --> 00:03:18,600
-so I have to pop back
in and out every now and then.
-[Drew] Right.
94
00:03:18,634 --> 00:03:21,166
You're allotting
a lot of space
95
00:03:21,166 --> 00:03:24,266
to a room, just basically
for watching TV
or using devices.
96
00:03:24,367 --> 00:03:25,467
[Brian] Yeah.
97
00:03:25,467 --> 00:03:27,467
Now, can we take
a peek over here? 'Cause...
98
00:03:27,467 --> 00:03:28,467
I don't like this.
99
00:03:29,367 --> 00:03:30,000
Other than having
a nose break door...
100
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Other than having
a nose break door...
101
00:03:31,533 --> 00:03:32,800
[all laughing]
102
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:34,634
-Honestly, we never even
close that door.
-Yeah.
103
00:03:34,634 --> 00:03:37,000
[Jonathan] Why do you
have, like, a bar table
104
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,900
in the corner of, like,
a mud room?
105
00:03:38,967 --> 00:03:41,734
-Yeah.
-Reality is, this has just
become, like, a dead room.
106
00:03:41,734 --> 00:03:44,000
-[Jonathan] You do use
this access, I assume.
-[Ephie] Yes.
107
00:03:44,066 --> 00:03:45,900
-All the time.
-So everybody who comes over
to our house,
108
00:03:45,967 --> 00:03:47,467
has to go through this room.
109
00:03:47,467 --> 00:03:49,266
[Drew] So the backdoor
is more likely
your main entry.
110
00:03:49,266 --> 00:03:52,266
-And you would need better
mud room storage and function.
-[Ephie] Yes.
111
00:03:52,266 --> 00:03:54,100
[Drew] At least tile flooring
is good for a mud room.
112
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:56,734
It's a bit dated, and I
wonder if there's
hardwood underneath.
113
00:03:56,734 --> 00:03:58,467
-[Ephie] Yes.
-[Brian] Yeah,
we did not choose this tile.
114
00:03:58,467 --> 00:04:00,000
-It's just what it came with.
-And it even goes
through both rooms,
115
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,000
-It's just what it came with.
-And it even goes
through both rooms,
116
00:04:01,634 --> 00:04:03,533
-in to the kitchen as well.
-[Brian] Yeah,
whole back of the house.
117
00:04:03,533 --> 00:04:04,800
-[Jonathan] Oh, wow.
-[Drew] Oh, it keeps going.
118
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,367
[Ephie] Straight
all the way through
the kitchen back.
119
00:04:06,467 --> 00:04:08,533
Ooh, I'd like a moment
of silence for the rest
of the house,
120
00:04:08,533 --> 00:04:10,900
-knowing that this tile
goes everywhere.
-[Brian laughs]
121
00:04:10,967 --> 00:04:12,266
We do have plenty of it,
no doubt.
122
00:04:12,266 --> 00:04:14,800
[Jonathan] Well,
plus this is a back splash
and countertop,
123
00:04:14,867 --> 00:04:17,000
-we would have put in
back in the late '90s.
-[Brian] Yes.
124
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
We did try to paint
all of these cabinets,
125
00:04:20,066 --> 00:04:21,800
-and make it look
more modern.
-[Drew] Yeah.
126
00:04:21,867 --> 00:04:24,500
-And.
-Yeah, I also put
the handles in as well.
127
00:04:24,533 --> 00:04:26,700
Uh, so you can see
why we need
your help.
128
00:04:26,734 --> 00:04:27,867
You're so nervous right now.
129
00:04:27,867 --> 00:04:29,367
I can tell all of a sudden,
you're like...
130
00:04:29,467 --> 00:04:30,000
[Brian] Yeah,
this is the room.
131
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,600
[Brian] Yeah,
this is the room.
132
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:31,000
-This is the room.
-'Cause this is the room
that, like,
133
00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:36,266
even if you come in,
all the other rooms
in the house are good sizes.
134
00:04:36,266 --> 00:04:39,533
You come in to the kitchen
and it's, like,
the smallest room.
135
00:04:39,533 --> 00:04:40,700
[Drew] And your
countertop, too.
136
00:04:40,734 --> 00:04:42,867
Like, your only bit
of prep space is, like, this.
137
00:04:42,867 --> 00:04:44,867
-[Brian] Yeah.
-Yes, and so I'm
prepping over there.
138
00:04:44,867 --> 00:04:47,367
And the kids,
one is going to the room,
one's going to the pantry.
139
00:04:47,367 --> 00:04:49,634
God forbid a drawer's open.
[imitates falling]
140
00:04:49,634 --> 00:04:51,000
-[Brian laughs]
-Exactly.
141
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:51,867
What's your dream?
142
00:04:51,867 --> 00:04:54,867
I would like a big island.
143
00:04:54,867 --> 00:04:56,367
And it needs to have seating.
144
00:04:56,467 --> 00:04:59,467
Uh, it's odd to me that our
pantry's not even
in this room, either.
145
00:04:59,467 --> 00:05:00,000
So if a pantry could be loaded
in as a part of that as well,
146
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,000
So if a pantry could be loaded
in as a part of that as well,
147
00:05:02,066 --> 00:05:03,367
-that would be amazing.
-[Drew] Where is it?
148
00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:04,967
-It's back over
in this hallway over here.
-Is that that in there?
149
00:05:04,967 --> 00:05:07,100
[Drew] Oh, your pantry
is in the laundry room?
150
00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:08,867
[Jonathan] The cabinet
is so high.
151
00:05:08,867 --> 00:05:11,066
[Ephie] Exactly.
So I can't reach
anything there.
152
00:05:11,066 --> 00:05:14,166
There's only, you know,
a cabinet underneath
the little sink.
153
00:05:14,266 --> 00:05:17,367
Do you want to do
a little laundry room remake?
154
00:05:17,467 --> 00:05:19,266
I think if we could do
some sort of storage,
155
00:05:19,266 --> 00:05:20,734
-rethink, back there.
-Yeah.
156
00:05:20,734 --> 00:05:22,700
Or how it's set up,
that would be great.
157
00:05:22,734 --> 00:05:25,266
I don't understand when
you have a decent
footprint for your home,
158
00:05:25,367 --> 00:05:28,734
why you create so many
tiny, tiny little rooms,
next to each other.
159
00:05:28,734 --> 00:05:30,000
There are definitely
solutions.
160
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:30,467
There are definitely
solutions.
161
00:05:30,467 --> 00:05:31,000
Some of them
are more expensive,
162
00:05:31,967 --> 00:05:34,367
like adding on additions,
doing some beam work.
163
00:05:34,467 --> 00:05:38,266
Some, are just a matter
of flopping rooms
and their uses.
164
00:05:38,266 --> 00:05:41,166
What's outside on the other
side of this wall?
165
00:05:41,166 --> 00:05:43,166
It is our... our HVAC.
166
00:05:43,266 --> 00:05:44,600
[Jonathan] Have you ever
thought about
167
00:05:44,634 --> 00:05:46,467
squaring off the building
right here?
168
00:05:46,467 --> 00:05:50,533
'Cause that alone would
give you twice
the space for the kitchen.
169
00:05:50,533 --> 00:05:51,967
Something like
that would be amazing.
170
00:05:51,967 --> 00:05:55,000
[Jonathan] Another great
option which would
be less complicated,
171
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,800
but not give you the same
square footage
from an addition,
172
00:05:57,867 --> 00:05:59,900
would be to relocate
this existing kitchen
173
00:05:59,967 --> 00:06:00,000
over to the kids play area.
174
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,000
over to the kids play area.
175
00:06:01,867 --> 00:06:03,967
With everything gone
out of the old kitchen,
176
00:06:03,967 --> 00:06:05,867
we could turn it into
a comfy new spot,
177
00:06:05,867 --> 00:06:07,266
where the kids could hang out.
178
00:06:07,367 --> 00:06:09,166
We then open up the wall
from the mud room,
179
00:06:09,266 --> 00:06:13,166
which would give you much
more space for a bigger
kitchen and an island.
180
00:06:13,166 --> 00:06:16,066
All of this said,
now you've got the kitchen
in the heart of the home,
181
00:06:16,066 --> 00:06:17,967
-where you can see into
all the different spaces.
-[Ephie] Right, yeah.
182
00:06:17,967 --> 00:06:21,800
Point also with that,
if this was just
seating and TV for the kids,
183
00:06:21,867 --> 00:06:24,867
-you can easily walk
past that. That's no problem.
-[Ephie] Yeah.
184
00:06:24,867 --> 00:06:28,100
I feel, we will definitely
give you more
space in your kitchen.
185
00:06:28,166 --> 00:06:29,634
-Okay.
-Because we want
it to function.
186
00:06:29,634 --> 00:06:30,000
We don't want you to struggle
to do the things
you like to do in the kitchen.
187
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,000
We don't want you to struggle
to do the things
you like to do in the kitchen.
188
00:06:31,634 --> 00:06:32,700
-Yeah.
-Right.
189
00:06:32,700 --> 00:06:34,967
Let's get ourselves
out of the frustrating space,
190
00:06:34,967 --> 00:06:37,533
-and into that beautiful
backyard.
-Yeah, great.
191
00:06:37,533 --> 00:06:38,967
We love this yard as well.
192
00:06:38,967 --> 00:06:41,166
It's one of the reasons
we chose this house.
193
00:06:41,166 --> 00:06:42,734
-You have found
the perfect house.
-[Brian] Yep.
194
00:06:42,734 --> 00:06:44,800
And the perfect
construction design team.
195
00:06:44,867 --> 00:06:47,166
-Yes.
-Yes, we did.
With the perfect shirts.
196
00:06:47,166 --> 00:06:49,000
-Yeah.
-You noticed?
They match.
197
00:06:49,066 --> 00:06:50,867
It's gonna take a bit of time
to work out some ideas,
198
00:06:50,867 --> 00:06:52,367
'cause you can see out here,
199
00:06:52,367 --> 00:06:56,000
there is room back here
to possibly square off
that if you want more space,
200
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,100
for the kitchen,
or relocate
the kitchen completely.
201
00:06:58,166 --> 00:06:59,000
[Brian] Yeah.
202
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,000
[Jonathan]
But it's a historical area.
203
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:00,734
[Jonathan]
But it's a historical area.
204
00:07:00,734 --> 00:07:01,000
Permits are more involved
and take more time.
205
00:07:02,967 --> 00:07:05,600
So it'll be a priority
to get those in early.
206
00:07:05,634 --> 00:07:08,500
But, all of that costs money.
207
00:07:08,533 --> 00:07:10,734
What's your budget
for the renovation?
208
00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:13,367
$215,000.
209
00:07:13,367 --> 00:07:15,700
[Jonathan] Okay,
it's a good budget,
but it is a lot to do.
210
00:07:15,734 --> 00:07:19,734
The kitchen, mud room,
kids den and even
the laundry room.
211
00:07:19,734 --> 00:07:21,533
If you were to tell me
in a few words,
212
00:07:21,533 --> 00:07:22,734
what is your style?
213
00:07:22,734 --> 00:07:24,367
It would be, I think...
214
00:07:24,367 --> 00:07:27,367
-modern with a Spanish twist.
-[Jonathan] Okay.
215
00:07:27,367 --> 00:07:30,000
I can take you guys
somewhere that has
the style that you like.
216
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:30,500
I can take you guys
somewhere that has
the style that you like.
217
00:07:30,533 --> 00:07:31,000
Hopefully get a little
more out of you,
218
00:07:31,533 --> 00:07:33,467
so we know exactly
what to do with your house.
219
00:07:33,467 --> 00:07:35,600
I... I am a little nervous.
220
00:07:35,634 --> 00:07:37,066
Piece of cake.
This is gonna be easy.
221
00:07:37,066 --> 00:07:38,600
Knock on wood,
piece of cake.
Yeah, yeah.
222
00:07:38,634 --> 00:07:40,066
Yeah, I'm ready to do this.
223
00:07:40,066 --> 00:07:42,734
I'm incredibly hopeful
for what Jonathan
and Drew come up with.
224
00:07:42,734 --> 00:07:47,100
I'm very nervous, because,
I don't do well with change.
225
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:49,266
But I trust them. So...
226
00:07:49,266 --> 00:07:50,734
-They have a thumbs
up from me.
-[laughs] Thumbs up.
227
00:07:57,367 --> 00:08:00,000
[Jonathan] Brian and Ephie's
house is located
in a historical area,
228
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:00,100
[Jonathan] Brian and Ephie's
house is located
in a historical area,
229
00:08:00,100 --> 00:08:01,000
and that means
there are limitations
on what we can change.
230
00:08:03,166 --> 00:08:05,000
Especially,
if it's the exterior.
231
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,166
We need special permits,
extra drawings.
232
00:08:07,166 --> 00:08:08,800
The neighborhood needs
to be notified.
233
00:08:08,867 --> 00:08:11,266
We need to plead our case
in person to the city.
234
00:08:11,266 --> 00:08:13,166
But until we decide
on our final options,
235
00:08:13,166 --> 00:08:16,266
we can get started
removing things on the inside.
236
00:08:16,266 --> 00:08:19,100
Especially this kitchen
which was updated in the '90s,
237
00:08:19,100 --> 00:08:21,634
but never addressed
it's tiny, poor layout.
238
00:08:21,634 --> 00:08:24,000
It's time to finally fix this.
239
00:08:24,066 --> 00:08:26,634
So all of their family
can actually come together
240
00:08:26,634 --> 00:08:29,266
and be in the same room
at the same time.
241
00:08:29,367 --> 00:08:30,000
Let's just start fresh.
242
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:30,734
Let's just start fresh.
243
00:08:30,734 --> 00:08:31,000
And... And if that means
relocating the kitchen,
244
00:08:33,467 --> 00:08:35,634
if that means
busting walls out...
245
00:08:35,634 --> 00:08:37,467
-Mmm-hmm.
-So if you're with me,
246
00:08:37,467 --> 00:08:39,500
-gloves and glasses.
-All right.
247
00:08:39,533 --> 00:08:40,900
We've got this family of four,
248
00:08:40,967 --> 00:08:43,533
who's trying to squeeze
into this tiny kitchen,
249
00:08:43,533 --> 00:08:45,166
and it just doesn't work.
250
00:08:45,166 --> 00:08:48,266
Unfortunately,
not much is salvageable.
251
00:08:48,266 --> 00:08:51,100
Nothing's original
and the materials just
aren't worth saving.
252
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:52,100
[Brian and Ephie laugh]
253
00:08:52,166 --> 00:08:54,166
He's got some pent up anger.
254
00:08:54,467 --> 00:08:55,533
[groans]
255
00:08:55,533 --> 00:08:57,266
-[screaming]
-[Jonathan and Brian laughs]
256
00:09:00,533 --> 00:09:01,000
[Ephie screams]
257
00:09:02,533 --> 00:09:04,166
This is how we
do kitchen demo.
258
00:09:04,266 --> 00:09:07,000
Having the whole half
of the kitchen come
down in one moment,
259
00:09:07,066 --> 00:09:08,367
was alarming, for sure.
260
00:09:08,367 --> 00:09:11,700
Never seen cabinetry
fill up a room
as fast as this.
261
00:09:11,734 --> 00:09:14,500
Demolition, we've literally
got nowhere to put cabinets,
262
00:09:14,533 --> 00:09:17,066
because there is nowhere
to go in this kitchen.
263
00:09:17,066 --> 00:09:19,066
Let's talk about
better sightlines.
264
00:09:19,066 --> 00:09:20,166
-[Brian] Yep.
-[Ephie] Yes.
265
00:09:20,166 --> 00:09:22,533
[Brian] Yeah, this door
has never been used as a door.
266
00:09:22,533 --> 00:09:25,467
[Brian and Ephie
exclaiming and laughing]
267
00:09:26,367 --> 00:09:27,734
Grab a sledgehammer.
268
00:09:27,734 --> 00:09:29,900
-[Brian] Oh, that feels good.
-[Jonathan] Let's bust
into this wall.
269
00:09:29,967 --> 00:09:30,000
No matter what options
we put together,
270
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,000
No matter what options
we put together,
271
00:09:32,967 --> 00:09:34,166
I want this to be gone.
272
00:09:34,266 --> 00:09:35,500
Yeah, we'd love
to have this open.
273
00:09:35,533 --> 00:09:36,867
I'm opening up that wall
274
00:09:36,867 --> 00:09:39,166
between the living room
and the little mud room area,
275
00:09:39,266 --> 00:09:40,533
because I want them to see
276
00:09:40,533 --> 00:09:43,367
what natural light throughout
the space is gonna do.
277
00:09:43,367 --> 00:09:46,000
Just removing that wall will
make it feel twice the size.
278
00:09:46,367 --> 00:09:48,533
[laughing]
279
00:09:48,533 --> 00:09:50,166
-It's so good.
-[Brian laughs]
280
00:09:50,266 --> 00:09:52,000
-She's got the best laugh.
-[Brian] Yeah.
281
00:09:54,634 --> 00:09:56,634
[Jonathan]
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
282
00:09:56,634 --> 00:09:58,367
You still have
knob and tube in here.
283
00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:00,000
[Brian] Oh, jeez.
284
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:00,100
[Brian] Oh, jeez.
285
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,867
[Jonathan]
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
286
00:10:04,867 --> 00:10:07,166
You still have
knob and tube in here.
287
00:10:07,166 --> 00:10:08,634
[Ephie]
What's a knob and tube?
288
00:10:08,634 --> 00:10:09,967
So this is an old home.
289
00:10:09,967 --> 00:10:12,634
And the way
they used to run
electricals in these houses,
290
00:10:12,634 --> 00:10:13,900
if it's all through the house,
291
00:10:14,066 --> 00:10:17,166
we're gonna be looking
at thousands of dollars
to replace it.
292
00:10:17,166 --> 00:10:19,166
It's dangerous because
it's not grounded.
293
00:10:19,166 --> 00:10:21,634
That's why we clear
all the old electrical out.
294
00:10:21,634 --> 00:10:23,634
If for some reason
one of those circuits
295
00:10:23,634 --> 00:10:25,166
is still attached,
and someone
296
00:10:25,166 --> 00:10:27,266
flicks on a breaker,
switches it on,
297
00:10:27,266 --> 00:10:28,367
big fire hazard.
298
00:10:28,467 --> 00:10:30,000
How crazy.
'Cause this is the room
299
00:10:30,066 --> 00:10:30,850
where, like, Layla and Reid
hang out the most, right?
300
00:10:30,850 --> 00:10:31,000
where, like, Layla and Reid
hang out the most, right?
301
00:10:32,634 --> 00:10:33,600
[Jonathan]
Yeah, we'll find out.
302
00:10:33,634 --> 00:10:34,800
I'll track it all back anyway,
303
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,533
and we'll see if,
for any reason
it is still attached.
304
00:10:37,533 --> 00:10:39,533
Because if there
is knob and tube
305
00:10:39,533 --> 00:10:41,100
that still has
to be taken out,
306
00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:42,634
that can eat up
a chunk of your budget.
307
00:10:43,166 --> 00:10:44,634
Oh, jeez.
308
00:10:44,634 --> 00:10:47,800
Hey, you never know what's
gonna be behind the walls
of a 100-year-old house.
309
00:10:47,867 --> 00:10:49,266
I mean, we're really
happy to know
310
00:10:49,266 --> 00:10:51,000
that Jonathan is gonna come
through the whole house,
311
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,266
and clear out everything
that might be
a danger to our family.
312
00:10:54,266 --> 00:10:56,000
Let me pull that last
little piece down.
313
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,367
And I want you guys
to punch through.
314
00:10:57,367 --> 00:10:58,867
-[Brian] All right, great.
-[Ephie] Yeah.
315
00:10:58,867 --> 00:11:00,850
Ready, one, two, three.
316
00:11:00,850 --> 00:11:01,000
Ready, one, two, three.
317
00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:05,100
[indistinct Ephie]
318
00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:06,734
-I'll help with the high part.
-[Brian laughs]
319
00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:09,700
[exclaiming in excitement]
320
00:11:10,367 --> 00:11:11,867
[Jonathan] All right.
321
00:11:11,867 --> 00:11:13,700
Yeah, this place already
feels more connected.
322
00:11:13,734 --> 00:11:15,634
-Yeah, exactly.
-[Ephie] Yeah.
323
00:11:15,634 --> 00:11:17,634
-It is really exciting.
-More smashing.
324
00:11:17,634 --> 00:11:19,166
-I know. What's next?
-What's more exciting?
325
00:11:19,166 --> 00:11:21,500
The concept of it being open
or the smashing?
326
00:11:21,533 --> 00:11:24,066
-Yeah.
-Uh, both. But I do like
to smash that.
327
00:11:24,066 --> 00:11:25,066
[all laughing]
328
00:11:25,066 --> 00:11:26,867
Right. She's got her
own form of karate.
329
00:11:26,867 --> 00:11:27,900
I like it.
330
00:11:27,967 --> 00:11:30,066
Now, the kids den
331
00:11:30,066 --> 00:11:30,850
had nice original hardwood
that we wanna keep.
332
00:11:30,850 --> 00:11:31,000
had nice original hardwood
that we wanna keep.
333
00:11:32,166 --> 00:11:33,533
So it's covered to protect it.
334
00:11:33,533 --> 00:11:35,634
I just hope that continues
into the mud room.
335
00:11:36,166 --> 00:11:37,634
Oh.
336
00:11:37,634 --> 00:11:39,166
-More hardwood?
-[Jonathan] Whoa!
337
00:11:39,266 --> 00:11:41,533
Your hardwood at least
this far keeps going.
338
00:11:41,533 --> 00:11:43,500
-[Ephie] Yeah.
-Fingers crossed.
339
00:11:43,533 --> 00:11:44,500
[Jonathan] How cool.
340
00:11:44,867 --> 00:11:46,166
Oh, no.
341
00:11:46,166 --> 00:11:48,000
This might be asbestos
sporing.
342
00:11:48,066 --> 00:11:49,800
[Brian] Oh, no.
343
00:11:49,867 --> 00:11:52,000
[Jonathan] It was hidden
between the hardwood
and the tile.
344
00:11:52,066 --> 00:11:53,634
May be this is why
it got covered up.
345
00:11:53,634 --> 00:11:55,066
Is that something
that would may be
346
00:11:55,166 --> 00:11:57,467
go through the entire
backend of the house here?
347
00:11:57,467 --> 00:11:59,100
Well, it could go
all the way under,
348
00:11:59,100 --> 00:12:00,850
-where the tile is, yeah.
-[Brian] Yeah? Okay.
349
00:12:00,850 --> 00:12:01,000
-where the tile is, yeah.
-[Brian] Yeah? Okay.
350
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,100
And it's removal
will affect how much
floor area we can save.
351
00:12:04,166 --> 00:12:06,166
Well, why don't I clean up
the rest of this.
352
00:12:06,166 --> 00:12:08,533
I'll get the sample
off to the lab, tested.
353
00:12:08,533 --> 00:12:11,100
In the meantime, you guys
can call it quits for the day.
354
00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:12,800
[Ephie] I think it will
affect our budget,
355
00:12:12,867 --> 00:12:16,100
but that's something
that has to be done,
for safety reasons.
356
00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:18,166
And we want to make sure
that our family,
357
00:12:18,266 --> 00:12:20,166
you know, is safe and healthy.
358
00:12:20,266 --> 00:12:22,266
And that everything
is done correctly.
359
00:12:22,266 --> 00:12:24,266
I just don't want this to eat
up a ton of their budget.
360
00:12:24,367 --> 00:12:26,467
Because there's so much
that we want to do.
361
00:12:26,467 --> 00:12:28,734
So hopefully,
we don't have asbestos.
362
00:12:28,734 --> 00:12:30,850
If we do,
we're gonna be looking
at a new budget.
363
00:12:30,850 --> 00:12:31,000
If we do,
we're gonna be looking
at a new budget.
364
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,600
And we're gonna be looking
at a different timeline.
365
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,734
[Drew] While Jonathan
gets the asbestos test
off to the lab,
366
00:12:40,734 --> 00:12:43,367
and figures out
the electrical issues
for pricing out options,
367
00:12:43,367 --> 00:12:46,100
I want to get Brian
and Ephie's minds
off this discouraging start.
368
00:12:46,100 --> 00:12:48,533
So, I am taking them down
to Long Beach,
369
00:12:48,533 --> 00:12:50,533
to get them relaxed,
to get them inspired,
370
00:12:50,533 --> 00:12:52,634
and I have the perfect
house for this.
371
00:12:52,634 --> 00:12:54,734
[Brian] Yes, I am so excited
about this part.
372
00:12:54,734 --> 00:12:56,000
[Drew] What are you
expecting to see?
373
00:12:56,066 --> 00:12:57,734
Something Spanish
would be my guess.
374
00:12:57,734 --> 00:13:00,634
And some nice clean lines,
some modern looks, too.
375
00:13:00,634 --> 00:13:00,850
-[Drew] A whole lot
of good stuff in here.
-[Ephie laughs]
376
00:13:00,850 --> 00:13:01,000
-[Drew] A whole lot
of good stuff in here.
-[Ephie laughs]
377
00:13:02,533 --> 00:13:04,266
-Very excited.
-How cool.
378
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,166
Wow, it's beautiful.
379
00:13:06,266 --> 00:13:08,800
[Ephie] It's really, really
cool and nice and open.
380
00:13:08,867 --> 00:13:10,634
You already have
a really nice living room.
381
00:13:10,634 --> 00:13:13,000
But I know you wanted to put
second living space in.
382
00:13:13,066 --> 00:13:16,467
-[Ephie] Yeah.
-[Drew] So, we can talk about
the kids area little bit.
383
00:13:16,467 --> 00:13:18,166
-Grab a seat. Make yourselves
feel at home.
-[Ephie] I like this.
384
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,500
-Ooh.
-[Brian laughs]
385
00:13:20,533 --> 00:13:22,000
-So...
-Yeah, this is a nice,
deep couch.
386
00:13:22,066 --> 00:13:24,500
-Yeah.
-So what kind of a vibe
do you want in there for them?
387
00:13:24,533 --> 00:13:25,700
[Brian] Warm and cozy.
388
00:13:25,734 --> 00:13:27,367
[Ephie] I mean,
I like this vibe.
389
00:13:27,367 --> 00:13:29,600
A nice deep couch for them.
390
00:13:29,634 --> 00:13:30,850
I love that the TV is here.
391
00:13:30,850 --> 00:13:31,000
I love that the TV is here.
392
00:13:31,166 --> 00:13:34,066
But I also love that there's
built-ins with storage.
393
00:13:34,066 --> 00:13:36,867
-I love the idea of built-ins
and somewhere to showcase.
-[Ephie] Yeah.
394
00:13:36,867 --> 00:13:39,066
Um, color would
be a good idea.
395
00:13:39,066 --> 00:13:42,066
We can bring in colors
that are still elevated
and sophisticated.
396
00:13:42,066 --> 00:13:43,100
It doesn't have to be crazy,
397
00:13:43,100 --> 00:13:44,634
-like polka dots or something
like that.
-Right.
398
00:13:44,634 --> 00:13:46,467
-[Drew] Come on over here.
-All right.
399
00:13:46,467 --> 00:13:48,266
[Drew] And on the way,
notice the beautiful
hardwood throughout.
400
00:13:48,367 --> 00:13:49,634
Would you like that?
401
00:13:49,634 --> 00:13:51,367
I do like that herringbone.
402
00:13:51,367 --> 00:13:53,734
[Brian] If we could possibly
save the hardwood floor.
403
00:13:53,734 --> 00:13:55,000
[Drew] If we can, great.
404
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,000
And then we can match
that throughout
the whole house.
405
00:13:57,066 --> 00:13:58,000
[Brian] Amazing, great.
406
00:13:59,734 --> 00:14:00,850
[Drew] What do you think
of this kitchen?
407
00:14:00,850 --> 00:14:00,900
[Drew] What do you think
of this kitchen?
408
00:14:00,900 --> 00:14:01,000
[Ephie] This looks
pretty cool.
I like this.
409
00:14:02,533 --> 00:14:06,000
I want, like, a... just a big,
open, nice sink to work with.
410
00:14:06,066 --> 00:14:08,867
And it looks farmhousey,
but it also looks modern.
411
00:14:08,867 --> 00:14:10,500
It does. I mean,
if you look around too,
412
00:14:10,533 --> 00:14:13,533
they have some items
like the... the pendants
that you see here.
413
00:14:13,533 --> 00:14:15,533
These are very
traditional looking.
414
00:14:15,533 --> 00:14:18,100
Whereas they have
other aspects,
like what they have over here.
415
00:14:18,166 --> 00:14:19,867
-And for the sink
that are bit more modern.
-[Ephie] Yeah.
416
00:14:19,867 --> 00:14:21,634
So they're doing
a good job blending
417
00:14:21,634 --> 00:14:23,867
some of the things
that you've talked
about potentially liking.
418
00:14:23,867 --> 00:14:28,166
Yes. Yeah. I would say
that these are too big for me.
419
00:14:28,166 --> 00:14:29,600
[Drew] This is meant
to look chunky.
420
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:30,850
But we can get you
something that's a little
more streamlined, smaller.
421
00:14:30,850 --> 00:14:31,000
But we can get you
something that's a little
more streamlined, smaller.
422
00:14:31,967 --> 00:14:33,367
-Low profile.
-[Ephie] Yeah.
423
00:14:33,367 --> 00:14:36,000
The chairs that you
have here for the island,
424
00:14:36,066 --> 00:14:37,266
it's really nice. I like them.
425
00:14:37,266 --> 00:14:39,734
They look like they
are, um, comfortable.
426
00:14:39,734 --> 00:14:41,467
[Drew] Yeah, we can
definitely work that in.
427
00:14:41,467 --> 00:14:43,000
Now, countertops and cabinets.
428
00:14:43,166 --> 00:14:46,266
You can see they have
a two tone here with the white
and a color on the island.
429
00:14:46,266 --> 00:14:50,066
[Ephie] Oh, I like
that the island is kind
of a different color,
430
00:14:50,066 --> 00:14:52,166
than the rest of the cabinets.
431
00:14:52,166 --> 00:14:54,367
[Brian] I would like a little
more color in the cabinets
432
00:14:54,367 --> 00:14:55,867
than just this kind
of off white.
433
00:14:55,867 --> 00:14:57,900
So we'll go little bit
darker with the cabinets.
434
00:14:57,967 --> 00:14:59,266
[Brian] Yeah.
I like the black handles.
435
00:14:59,266 --> 00:15:00,850
And I do like the countertop.
436
00:15:00,850 --> 00:15:01,000
And I do like the countertop.
437
00:15:01,867 --> 00:15:05,000
It's subtle, but has
that nice, kind of texture
438
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,166
-and character to it.
-Yeah.
439
00:15:06,166 --> 00:15:08,266
And did you want
a real stone, like this?
440
00:15:08,266 --> 00:15:10,533
-[Brian] Yeah.
-[Drew] Or did you want
something that is, uh, quartz,
441
00:15:10,533 --> 00:15:13,166
or something that's
zero maintenance?
442
00:15:13,166 --> 00:15:15,266
[Brian] Yeah, I think we would
love whatever the low
maintenance version is.
443
00:15:15,266 --> 00:15:18,100
And also, you can actually
choose a slab that has
444
00:15:18,166 --> 00:15:19,533
reduced amount
of veining, so...
445
00:15:19,533 --> 00:15:21,367
Great. What do you
think of this range?
446
00:15:21,367 --> 00:15:23,000
[Ephie] I love this range.
447
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,900
But seeing how you
reacted to this...
448
00:15:24,967 --> 00:15:26,367
[imitating excitement]
449
00:15:26,367 --> 00:15:27,734
...this is the right
thing to get.
450
00:15:27,734 --> 00:15:29,734
We do have family that comes
and stays with us
during Thanksgiving.
451
00:15:29,734 --> 00:15:30,850
We regularly are the ones
that are cooking.
452
00:15:30,850 --> 00:15:31,000
We regularly are the ones
that are cooking.
453
00:15:31,467 --> 00:15:33,367
To have something this big,
would be amazing.
454
00:15:33,467 --> 00:15:35,467
I like that there is a lot
of this kitchen
that is speaking to you.
455
00:15:35,467 --> 00:15:37,634
-Yeah.
-The one thing
that's a little obvious,
456
00:15:37,634 --> 00:15:40,266
-is that this is not
really a Spanish style.
-Yeah.
457
00:15:40,266 --> 00:15:43,634
So, is there any thing
that you would love to add in,
458
00:15:43,634 --> 00:15:45,266
that we could bring in,
that's Spanish style way.
459
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,467
I really like this.
460
00:15:47,467 --> 00:15:49,000
-Right, Brian?
-Yes.
461
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,367
I think this hood is exactly
the type of thing that we're
looking for in here.
462
00:15:52,367 --> 00:15:53,800
Anywhere we can give a little
bit of an extra nod
463
00:15:53,867 --> 00:15:55,166
-in that direction could help.
-Yeah.
464
00:15:55,166 --> 00:15:57,066
I've realized that Ephie's
not really saying
465
00:15:57,066 --> 00:16:00,367
the style she wants overall
with a Spanish, modern look.
466
00:16:00,367 --> 00:16:00,850
She's specifically talking
about key pieces.
467
00:16:00,850 --> 00:16:01,000
She's specifically talking
about key pieces.
468
00:16:02,533 --> 00:16:03,867
A farmhouse sink.
469
00:16:03,867 --> 00:16:06,166
We can pick different pieces
from different aesthetics
470
00:16:06,266 --> 00:16:09,500
to bring together in one
cohesive, transitional design.
471
00:16:09,533 --> 00:16:10,800
That's what design
is all about.
472
00:16:10,867 --> 00:16:12,700
Get creative
and make it personal.
473
00:16:12,734 --> 00:16:14,900
You know, for me it's just
really important
that we get this right.
474
00:16:14,967 --> 00:16:17,467
You know, we've moved around
a lot over the last few years.
475
00:16:17,467 --> 00:16:18,634
And I really wanna make sure
476
00:16:18,634 --> 00:16:19,867
that what we end up
with is something
477
00:16:19,967 --> 00:16:22,367
that I'm really gonna be happy
with for a long time to come.
478
00:16:22,367 --> 00:16:25,500
Yeah, and the most
important part of making
sure you're happy,
479
00:16:25,533 --> 00:16:28,000
-is that we really focus
on the function.
-[Ephie] Yeah.
480
00:16:28,066 --> 00:16:29,533
We need to make sure
you have lots
of counter space.
481
00:16:29,533 --> 00:16:30,850
-Yeah.
-And a better flow than what
we currently have.
482
00:16:30,850 --> 00:16:31,000
-Yeah.
-And a better flow than what
we currently have.
483
00:16:31,100 --> 00:16:33,533
-Yeah, that'll be amazing.
This feels really close.
-[Ephie] Yeah.
484
00:16:33,533 --> 00:16:35,634
I love it. I have so much
good information.
485
00:16:35,634 --> 00:16:36,867
I hope this was
helpful for you.
486
00:16:36,867 --> 00:16:38,000
-Yeah.
-Yeah,
this is a beautiful place.
487
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,166
-Thank you
for showing it to us.
-Of course.
488
00:16:39,367 --> 00:16:41,367
-Yeah, I'll give this all
over to Jonathan.
-All right.
489
00:16:48,900 --> 00:16:50,533
It's been a few days
since our inspiration tour,
490
00:16:50,533 --> 00:16:53,533
and unfortunately everything
has come to a complete stop,
491
00:16:53,533 --> 00:16:56,100
because we had some
very serious news.
492
00:16:56,100 --> 00:16:58,066
Brian had a sudden
medical emergency
493
00:16:58,066 --> 00:16:59,533
and has been rushed
to the hospital.
494
00:16:59,533 --> 00:17:00,850
Now we're pausing
on any major decisions,
495
00:17:00,850 --> 00:17:01,000
Now we're pausing
on any major decisions,
496
00:17:01,467 --> 00:17:03,734
as we standby to hear
more about the situation.
497
00:17:03,734 --> 00:17:06,367
Our thoughts go out to Brian,
and we're really hoping
for the best.
498
00:17:12,734 --> 00:17:14,867
It has been a few
nerve wracking days,
499
00:17:14,867 --> 00:17:17,467
as we're waiting to hear back
from Brian's health emergency.
500
00:17:17,467 --> 00:17:20,166
He is stable, but he's still
at the hospital
waiting test results.
501
00:17:20,166 --> 00:17:22,634
Yeah, we really wanna
support them however we can,
502
00:17:22,634 --> 00:17:26,533
especially now that we
have some new
complications with the reno.
503
00:17:26,533 --> 00:17:29,500
[Jonathan] The lab tests
came back and the old
flooring had asbestos.
504
00:17:29,533 --> 00:17:31,800
We don't want Ephie
and Brian to worry.
505
00:17:31,867 --> 00:17:34,867
So it's being safely removed,
along with all
the knob and tube wiring.
506
00:17:36,867 --> 00:17:39,100
This had to get done before
any renovations,
507
00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:40,863
but we're already out
over $10,000.
508
00:17:40,863 --> 00:17:41,000
but we're already out
over $10,000.
509
00:17:41,634 --> 00:17:44,867
Now we need to decide
on design plans
that keep within the budget.
510
00:17:44,867 --> 00:17:47,166
And allow us to submit
our time sensitive permits.
511
00:17:47,166 --> 00:17:48,700
There are a lot
of uncertainties,
512
00:17:48,734 --> 00:17:50,467
but for now, we're just
patiently waiting
513
00:17:50,467 --> 00:17:51,734
for an update
from Ephie and Brian.
514
00:17:56,100 --> 00:17:57,734
[cell phone dialing]
515
00:17:59,467 --> 00:18:00,500
-Hello.
-[Ephie] How are you?
516
00:18:01,100 --> 00:18:02,967
I'm... I'm good.
517
00:18:02,967 --> 00:18:06,467
I mean, you guys have
so much going on.
How's Brian?
518
00:18:06,467 --> 00:18:08,867
You know, he's doing
a lot better.
519
00:18:08,867 --> 00:18:10,863
Um, he actually came
back from the hospital.
520
00:18:10,863 --> 00:18:11,000
Um, he actually came
back from the hospital.
521
00:18:11,166 --> 00:18:13,266
And he's resting.
522
00:18:13,266 --> 00:18:14,734
But he seems like
he's on the mend.
523
00:18:14,734 --> 00:18:17,000
-So, he doing a lot better.
Thank you.
-Oh, that's good.
524
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,967
I'm sorry you've
had to go through this.
525
00:18:18,967 --> 00:18:20,467
And by the way,
just so you know.
526
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,533
All the knob and tube,
527
00:18:22,533 --> 00:18:24,066
all of that stuff's already
been taken care of.
528
00:18:24,066 --> 00:18:26,467
And it's already worked
into the budgets as well.
So we're good.
529
00:18:26,467 --> 00:18:29,066
-Great.
-Did you get the plans
that we sent over?
530
00:18:29,066 --> 00:18:31,166
-Yeah.
-'Cause we have two options.
531
00:18:31,166 --> 00:18:34,266
One is to flip
the whole floor plan.
532
00:18:34,266 --> 00:18:37,634
Move it to the front
of the house,
and put the kitchen there.
533
00:18:37,634 --> 00:18:40,000
The other is to do an addition
534
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:40,863
and square off
that back portion
of the house,
535
00:18:40,863 --> 00:18:41,000
and square off
that back portion
of the house,
536
00:18:41,967 --> 00:18:43,266
so you'll have more
square footage.
537
00:18:43,367 --> 00:18:46,100
Tuck the kitchen all the way
across the back there.
538
00:18:46,100 --> 00:18:47,900
We're just wondering if may be
539
00:18:47,967 --> 00:18:51,000
you like one or the other,
what would you go with?
540
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,634
Honestly I think the kitchen
at the front of the house
541
00:18:52,634 --> 00:18:54,100
would be a lot
less complicated.
542
00:18:54,166 --> 00:18:56,367
'Cause as soon as we
tackle an addition,
543
00:18:56,367 --> 00:18:58,066
it can potentially
slow things down.
544
00:18:58,066 --> 00:19:01,266
For us the most important
thing is to get the permits
as quickly as we can.
545
00:19:01,266 --> 00:19:04,800
My vote would be,
probably to move
the kitchen to the front.
546
00:19:04,867 --> 00:19:06,333
I like that.
547
00:19:06,333 --> 00:19:08,600
It'll be the first thing
that people see when
they come into the house,
548
00:19:08,634 --> 00:19:10,863
rather than the kitchen being,
tucked away as it is now.
549
00:19:10,863 --> 00:19:11,000
rather than the kitchen being,
tucked away as it is now.
550
00:19:12,367 --> 00:19:13,967
This will be simpler
to do this.
551
00:19:13,967 --> 00:19:15,867
We've got so much
going on right now,
552
00:19:15,867 --> 00:19:17,367
we don't need any more delays.
553
00:19:17,367 --> 00:19:18,867
-So let's just go with that.
-Amazing.
554
00:19:18,867 --> 00:19:21,066
We've got your back here.
Don't worry about
any of this stuff.
555
00:19:21,066 --> 00:19:22,166
Focus on Brian.
556
00:19:22,166 --> 00:19:24,367
Focus on family.
Send my love to everybody.
557
00:19:24,367 --> 00:19:26,166
But, thank you
for letting me know.
558
00:19:26,166 --> 00:19:27,500
All right. Thank you so much,
Jonathan.
559
00:19:27,533 --> 00:19:28,800
Bye. I'll talk to you soon.
560
00:19:31,367 --> 00:19:32,967
With Ephie
and Brian's blessings
561
00:19:32,967 --> 00:19:35,634
we're proceeding
with the design I feel
best suits their place.
562
00:19:35,634 --> 00:19:38,734
And I think we can get it done
in about six weeks.
563
00:19:38,734 --> 00:19:40,863
Because we're shifting
the kitchen location
to the front of the house,
564
00:19:40,863 --> 00:19:41,000
Because we're shifting
the kitchen location
to the front of the house,
565
00:19:41,634 --> 00:19:44,533
the new counters
will be too high
for the existing windows,
566
00:19:44,533 --> 00:19:46,367
which means we need
to shrink them.
567
00:19:46,367 --> 00:19:49,533
-The window is gonna
be like three feet?
-Yeah.
568
00:19:49,533 --> 00:19:52,800
Any change to the exterior
of a historical house
in San Marino
569
00:19:52,867 --> 00:19:54,634
has a lot of rules to follow
570
00:19:54,634 --> 00:19:56,634
to preserve the original
architecture,
571
00:19:56,634 --> 00:19:59,266
and it requires special
additional building permits.
572
00:19:59,367 --> 00:20:02,000
So those need to get
submitted immediately.
573
00:20:02,066 --> 00:20:04,166
If we can't change
the windows on the outside,
574
00:20:04,266 --> 00:20:07,367
plan B means modifying
them on the inside.
575
00:20:07,367 --> 00:20:10,734
Not ideal, but it will still
get them their new kitchen.
576
00:20:10,734 --> 00:20:10,863
In any case,
we have to re-run everything,
577
00:20:10,863 --> 00:20:11,000
In any case,
we have to re-run everything,
578
00:20:13,266 --> 00:20:15,533
which means going down
into the dirty crawl space.
579
00:20:15,533 --> 00:20:16,467
Ugh.
580
00:20:16,467 --> 00:20:17,700
[exclaims in disgust]
581
00:20:17,734 --> 00:20:19,166
Mouse bones.
582
00:20:19,166 --> 00:20:21,367
We've already
lost over $10,000
583
00:20:21,367 --> 00:20:23,734
to removing the asbestos
and knob and tube.
584
00:20:23,734 --> 00:20:26,500
So we need to figure out
how to re-route
all of these utilities
585
00:20:26,533 --> 00:20:28,367
as economically as possible.
586
00:20:28,367 --> 00:20:30,166
There's not really
anything in the way,
587
00:20:30,266 --> 00:20:33,000
but there's a lot
of stuff down here.
588
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,266
Good news is, all of the lines
are exposed and accessible,
which means some savings,
589
00:20:37,367 --> 00:20:40,000
because there are fewer
walls that need
to be ripped open upstairs.
590
00:20:41,166 --> 00:20:43,500
That's really important to me,
because Brian and Ephie
591
00:20:43,533 --> 00:20:45,367
love their home and wanna
preserve as much
592
00:20:45,367 --> 00:20:47,367
of the original
character as possible.
593
00:20:47,367 --> 00:20:50,367
Which is why I need
a perfect match
to their existing flooring.
594
00:20:51,533 --> 00:20:54,266
-Okay. Oh, you have
a piece of cardboard.
-I do.
595
00:20:54,266 --> 00:20:57,000
-I do.
-I brought tile
and luxury vinyl as well.
596
00:20:57,066 --> 00:20:59,266
I had these lofty dreams
597
00:20:59,266 --> 00:21:03,500
of having the original
hardwood flow all
the way through here, too.
598
00:21:03,533 --> 00:21:05,166
And it was in good shape.
We could reuse it.
599
00:21:05,166 --> 00:21:06,734
And then that all
turned into a nightmare.
600
00:21:06,734 --> 00:21:10,266
-No. 'Cause this is what?
Two layers of asbestos.
-Exactly.
601
00:21:10,266 --> 00:21:10,863
-Yeah.
-I'm now thinking
the flooring that we can keep,
602
00:21:10,863 --> 00:21:11,000
-Yeah.
-I'm now thinking
the flooring that we can keep,
603
00:21:13,467 --> 00:21:16,266
is so much more valuable
and dear to my heart.
604
00:21:16,266 --> 00:21:17,700
Because of time and budget?
605
00:21:17,734 --> 00:21:20,266
Yeah, especially not knowing
Brian's health situation.
606
00:21:20,266 --> 00:21:23,166
We can try to match up
the new flooring to the old,
607
00:21:23,166 --> 00:21:25,700
or if we did one of these
in, like, luxury vinyl,
608
00:21:25,734 --> 00:21:28,700
I think we could also just
sand down the original floor
609
00:21:28,734 --> 00:21:31,100
and then color match to the
luxury vinyl.
610
00:21:31,100 --> 00:21:34,266
Then it just looks like
a bad mat.
611
00:21:34,266 --> 00:21:37,100
It's two different materi--
It'd be different if it was
actual wood.
612
00:21:37,100 --> 00:21:38,734
If we took the Red Oak,
613
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:40,863
sanded down their floor,
614
00:21:40,863 --> 00:21:41,000
sanded down their floor,
615
00:21:41,634 --> 00:21:43,967
it best matches
the existing floors.
616
00:21:43,967 --> 00:21:46,367
Going with the thinner vinyl
wouldn't save you much,
617
00:21:46,467 --> 00:21:48,166
and we have to raise
the height.
618
00:21:48,266 --> 00:21:51,266
I think if the color tone is
same throughout, it'll
actually look great.
619
00:21:51,367 --> 00:21:52,600
-It'll look fine.
-Okay.
620
00:21:52,634 --> 00:21:53,700
So hardwood it is.
621
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,634
[Jonathan] Now that Brian
is back on his feet,
622
00:21:59,634 --> 00:22:02,467
I wanna give them something
really positive to look
forward to.
623
00:22:02,467 --> 00:22:06,634
I'm excited for them to see
the progress and visualize
the design in the space.
624
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,863
What happened was, I have a
nerve in my neck that turned
out to be damaged,
625
00:22:10,863 --> 00:22:11,000
What happened was, I have a
nerve in my neck that turned
out to be damaged,
626
00:22:12,967 --> 00:22:15,634
which caused some pretty scary
and wonky symptoms.
627
00:22:15,634 --> 00:22:18,634
So, really just glad to be
able to be here today.
628
00:22:19,533 --> 00:22:21,000
Brian's my rock, right?
629
00:22:21,066 --> 00:22:24,367
He's strong and sound.
630
00:22:24,467 --> 00:22:27,367
To see him, you know,
631
00:22:27,367 --> 00:22:33,367
going to emergency, and then
being admitted, I'm trying to
just be strong for everybody.
632
00:22:33,467 --> 00:22:35,100
Trying to be strong for,
like, the kids.
633
00:22:35,166 --> 00:22:37,500
You hear who the real rock
is, thought, right?
634
00:22:38,467 --> 00:22:39,266
Yeah.
635
00:22:43,467 --> 00:22:45,467
[imitates creaking]
636
00:22:45,467 --> 00:22:48,166
It's like a haunted house in
here right now.
637
00:22:48,166 --> 00:22:52,367
-We got open walls and torn-up
floors--
-[Brian] Oh, my gosh.
638
00:22:52,367 --> 00:22:54,533
-[Ephie] Oh, my gosh.
-Look at these floors!
639
00:22:54,533 --> 00:22:57,467
[Jonathan] Yeah. And this used
to be your old kitchen.
640
00:22:57,467 --> 00:23:00,166
-We're ready to start
building.
-Yeah, we're ready for this.
641
00:23:00,166 --> 00:23:01,900
[Jonathan] I'm glad.
642
00:23:01,900 --> 00:23:05,166
Moving your old kitchen to the
kid's den at the front of the
house will be a huge change
643
00:23:05,166 --> 00:23:07,166
and something to really look
forward to.
644
00:23:07,166 --> 00:23:09,734
We would rebuild a whole
new kitchen,
645
00:23:09,734 --> 00:23:10,863
still give you all that space.
The island, everything
you want.
646
00:23:10,863 --> 00:23:11,000
still give you all that space.
The island, everything
you want.
647
00:23:12,867 --> 00:23:16,367
Imagine a Spanish-inspired
vent hood over a giant range,
648
00:23:16,367 --> 00:23:20,700
shiny new appliances, ample
countertops. Just a beautiful
grand space
649
00:23:20,734 --> 00:23:24,867
where your whole family can
finally gather while
you're cooking.
650
00:23:24,867 --> 00:23:29,800
Your old mudroom will be
transformed into an area with
tons of storage and function.
651
00:23:29,867 --> 00:23:33,533
And your former tiny kitchen
will turn into a den for
the kids.
652
00:23:33,533 --> 00:23:35,000
- Sofa, TV...
-[Ephie] Okay.
653
00:23:35,266 --> 00:23:38,867
Nice and comfortable, but
more appropriate for the size
of the room.
654
00:23:38,867 --> 00:23:40,863
For the functional modern
style that blends seamlessly
with the history of the house.
655
00:23:40,863 --> 00:23:41,000
For the functional modern
style that blends seamlessly
with the history of the house.
656
00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:46,467
Still have beautiful flooring
throughout, you have all
657
00:23:46,467 --> 00:23:48,266
the gorgeous finishes of
the kitchen,
658
00:23:48,266 --> 00:23:49,700
just in a brand new location.
659
00:23:49,734 --> 00:23:50,800
[both] Okay.
660
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,100
[Jonathan] In order to get
the kitchen there,
661
00:23:52,166 --> 00:23:53,867
we'll be shrinking the size
of the windows
662
00:23:53,867 --> 00:23:56,000
to accommodate the new
countertop heights.
663
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,367
Changing window sizes in
a historic home, as you know,
requires
664
00:23:59,467 --> 00:24:00,900
extra approvals.
665
00:24:00,900 --> 00:24:03,800
But thankfully, as soon as
that choice was made, we
submitted for them.
666
00:24:03,867 --> 00:24:06,266
-However, that can be
a real challenge.
-[both] Yeah.
667
00:24:06,367 --> 00:24:07,734
But it is a risk, it sounds
like.
668
00:24:07,734 --> 00:24:10,266
[Jonathan] It should be fine,
since we followed
their guidelines.
669
00:24:10,367 --> 00:24:10,863
I'm glad we didn't do any
additions at the back and went
with this option, because
670
00:24:10,863 --> 00:24:11,000
I'm glad we didn't do any
additions at the back and went
with this option, because
671
00:24:13,967 --> 00:24:17,734
although I tried my best with
the budget, we still came in
at your max.
672
00:24:17,734 --> 00:24:21,734
That includes, though, getting
rid of the knob and tube, and
the asbestos.
673
00:24:21,734 --> 00:24:23,800
It is right at the top of
our budget.
674
00:24:23,867 --> 00:24:24,967
So, it's a lot of money.
675
00:24:24,967 --> 00:24:26,233
-[Ephie] Yeah.
-For sure.
676
00:24:26,233 --> 00:24:28,266
[Jonathan] I understand. And
you guys have been through
a lot.
677
00:24:28,367 --> 00:24:31,266
But you'll have this
incredible kitchen.
678
00:24:31,266 --> 00:24:35,266
Yeah, I like the timeline.
I like the budget. I like that
679
00:24:35,266 --> 00:24:37,000
the kitchen will be
in the front.
680
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,266
Truly a blessing in disguise,
just, like, timing-wise.
681
00:24:40,266 --> 00:24:40,863
It's just something to be
able to look forward to.
682
00:24:40,863 --> 00:24:41,000
It's just something to be
able to look forward to.
683
00:24:42,967 --> 00:24:45,734
So I think it's just... Umm,
it'll be worth it.
684
00:24:45,734 --> 00:24:49,266
To have this place feel like
it's really finished, and
really ready for us
685
00:24:49,367 --> 00:24:51,634
to have a long and healthy
life together in.
686
00:24:55,166 --> 00:24:58,166
[Jonathan] Key to the design
of making this living room
a kitchen,
687
00:24:58,166 --> 00:25:01,266
is being able to raise
the windows for the new
counter height.
688
00:25:01,266 --> 00:25:05,700
So we submitted a special
permit to the city to alter
the historical exterior.
689
00:25:05,734 --> 00:25:08,634
We're completely switching
the location of the current
kitchen,
690
00:25:08,634 --> 00:25:10,863
which is gonna be a much
bigger footprint for them.
691
00:25:10,863 --> 00:25:11,000
which is gonna be a much
bigger footprint for them.
692
00:25:11,166 --> 00:25:15,367
Opening up the former
passageway between the mudroom
and the kids' den was critical
693
00:25:15,367 --> 00:25:18,066
to give the kitchen as much
space as possible.
694
00:25:18,066 --> 00:25:21,000
But it does require a new beam
to take the load above.
695
00:25:21,900 --> 00:25:24,367
You could do, like,
82 and seven-eighths?
696
00:25:25,100 --> 00:25:28,634
82... and... seven-eighths.
697
00:25:28,634 --> 00:25:30,166
-[Jonathan] Got it?
-Mmm-hmm.
698
00:25:30,166 --> 00:25:32,867
-Back your way here.
-Good.
699
00:25:32,867 --> 00:25:35,467
-Am I level?
-Feel good there.
You're level.
700
00:25:35,467 --> 00:25:36,367
[chainsaw whirring]
701
00:25:40,100 --> 00:25:40,863
-[Jonathan] Thank you.
-Okay.
702
00:25:40,863 --> 00:25:41,000
-[Jonathan] Thank you.
-Okay.
703
00:25:41,533 --> 00:25:43,266
Are you okay for a sec?
704
00:25:43,266 --> 00:25:47,066
You know, this beam is easy to
lift when it's down low. Not
when it's at my full reach.
705
00:25:47,066 --> 00:25:48,066
Go fast.
706
00:25:48,066 --> 00:25:49,634
[drilling and hammering]
707
00:25:54,066 --> 00:25:56,266
What a difference this is
gonna make for the family.
708
00:25:56,266 --> 00:25:57,967
It's so much better.
709
00:25:57,967 --> 00:26:00,533
-Pretty good.
-Nice work, sir. Nice work.
710
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,166
[Jonathan] We've taken
the renovation as far
as we can.
711
00:26:04,166 --> 00:26:08,166
I still haven't heard back if
our permits have passed for
a special window modification.
712
00:26:08,266 --> 00:26:10,734
So I'm starting to sweat
a little bit, because if they
say no,
713
00:26:10,734 --> 00:26:10,863
then we have to completely
revisit the design.
714
00:26:10,863 --> 00:26:11,000
then we have to completely
revisit the design.
715
00:26:15,467 --> 00:26:16,800
[Jonathan] Well, we have
some good news.
716
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,066
I went to the city and pleaded
our case for altering
the windows,
717
00:26:20,066 --> 00:26:21,700
and we were approved!
718
00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:25,166
They felt reassured that we'll
preserve the integrity of
the exterior of the home.
719
00:26:25,166 --> 00:26:28,533
So we can carry on and start
choosing our finishes.
720
00:26:28,533 --> 00:26:31,100
Brian wants something that
feels a little more modern.
721
00:26:31,166 --> 00:26:33,734
Ephie's looking for hints of
Spanish with a twist.
722
00:26:33,734 --> 00:26:35,367
Like, adding a farmhouse sink.
723
00:26:35,367 --> 00:26:39,266
But somewhere in the middle,
lies what this house will be.
Good news.
724
00:26:39,266 --> 00:26:41,634
We're gonna save on a lot
of floors because we were able
725
00:26:41,634 --> 00:26:43,967
to match up to almost half
the original ones.
726
00:26:43,967 --> 00:26:44,030
So, darker on the floors. So
we have to be careful we don't
727
00:26:44,030 --> 00:26:45,000
So, darker on the floors. So
we have to be careful we don't
728
00:26:46,634 --> 00:26:48,467
go too dark with our
kitchen cabinet.
729
00:26:48,467 --> 00:26:51,166
-[Drew] They want color.
-And they like a mix. They
like greens and blues.
730
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:53,900
Look how nice
this goes together.
731
00:26:53,967 --> 00:26:56,533
Maybe lighter on the perimeter
and darker on the island?
732
00:26:56,533 --> 00:26:58,600
Switch to a green though. They
do like green.
733
00:26:58,634 --> 00:27:00,500
Well, we could do something
like this for the laundry
room.
734
00:27:00,533 --> 00:27:01,967
Or even the mudroom.
735
00:27:01,967 --> 00:27:04,367
And you know what we could
probably do? The kids'
media area.
736
00:27:04,467 --> 00:27:06,734
Maybe we could do some
cabinets like this in there
as well.
737
00:27:06,734 --> 00:27:08,634
It's where the TV is, so...
738
00:27:08,634 --> 00:27:10,367
Yeah, something like that
would be nice.
739
00:27:10,367 --> 00:27:12,467
They have preference on
hardwood?
740
00:27:12,467 --> 00:27:14,030
[Jonathan] Brian did like
the black handles.
741
00:27:14,030 --> 00:27:14,467
[Jonathan] Brian did like
the black handles.
742
00:27:14,467 --> 00:27:15,000
Something like that. And this
would actually look nice
on both.
743
00:27:17,166 --> 00:27:19,467
-That could be in the pantry
or the media room.
-Yeah.
744
00:27:19,467 --> 00:27:21,867
They have a lot of Spanish
elements within the home too.
745
00:27:21,867 --> 00:27:24,367
We can keep some of that vibe,
746
00:27:24,367 --> 00:27:26,967
especially the outside
has that feel.
747
00:27:26,967 --> 00:27:30,533
They wanna go with something
that looks like real stone.
748
00:27:30,533 --> 00:27:33,367
Guess we could do
more veining, less veining.
749
00:27:33,367 --> 00:27:35,467
This is actually nice because
it ties into the dark tones.
750
00:27:35,467 --> 00:27:36,734
Both tie into the dark tones.
751
00:27:36,900 --> 00:27:38,700
-Actually, this one--
-[Drew] Maybe we shouldn't go
too busy.
752
00:27:38,734 --> 00:27:40,634
[Jonathan] That actually
looks really natural.
753
00:27:40,634 --> 00:27:43,266
There's a simplicity to it,
which I think they would
both love.
754
00:27:43,266 --> 00:27:44,030
Well, since I can't pin all
of those up on the board,
755
00:27:44,030 --> 00:27:45,000
Well, since I can't pin all
of those up on the board,
756
00:27:46,367 --> 00:27:49,634
I will put the chair over here
so Ephie gets her comfortable
bar seating.
757
00:27:49,634 --> 00:27:50,900
No more moving for them.
758
00:27:50,967 --> 00:27:54,533
If we make this house so
beautiful and so functional...
759
00:27:54,533 --> 00:27:56,867
-...they'll never wanna move
again.
-Yeah. Never again.
760
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,500
With Brian's health scare and
not having a place to return
to recover after the hospital,
761
00:28:05,533 --> 00:28:08,166
I just want them to come back
here and feel like they have
762
00:28:08,166 --> 00:28:10,000
the perfect sanctuary that
reflects them.
763
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,867
Yeah. A unique home where
they've always dreamed of
settling down.
764
00:28:16,867 --> 00:28:19,166
The renovation is now in
full swing.
765
00:28:19,166 --> 00:28:22,467
To relocate all the utilities
to the new kitchen location,
766
00:28:22,467 --> 00:28:26,367
we have to go through a lot of
crawl spaces. Floors, walls,
everything.
767
00:28:27,467 --> 00:28:30,100
We brought this house up
to safe modern standards,
768
00:28:30,166 --> 00:28:32,967
after getting rid of the knob
and tube, and asbestos.
769
00:28:32,967 --> 00:28:35,800
But it did mean maxing out
our reno budget.
770
00:28:35,867 --> 00:28:39,367
While the walls are open, we
can start prepping for our new
raised windows.
771
00:28:39,367 --> 00:28:41,367
But we're gonna have to be
mindful to try and keep as
772
00:28:41,467 --> 00:28:43,634
much of the original exterior
as possible,
773
00:28:43,634 --> 00:28:44,030
if we're gonna pass
inspections.
774
00:28:44,030 --> 00:28:45,000
if we're gonna pass
inspections.
775
00:28:50,867 --> 00:28:53,166
We are on track with our
six-week timeline.
776
00:28:53,166 --> 00:28:56,634
However, the unexpected cost
we incurred during demo
777
00:28:56,634 --> 00:28:59,867
removing knob and tube wiring,
and remediating the asbestos,
778
00:28:59,867 --> 00:29:02,634
put us right at Ephie
and Brian's max budget.
779
00:29:02,634 --> 00:29:07,634
So we had to offset that issue
by finding savings in the old
kitchen and laundry areas.
780
00:29:07,634 --> 00:29:09,800
We're not doing a ton of work
in the laundry room.
781
00:29:09,867 --> 00:29:12,367
Carrying our flooring around,
cleaning things up.
782
00:29:12,367 --> 00:29:14,030
But the cabinets. Even though
it's not the color that Ephie
and Brian want,
783
00:29:14,030 --> 00:29:15,000
But the cabinets. Even though
it's not the color that Ephie
and Brian want,
784
00:29:16,266 --> 00:29:18,800
they're solid wood cabinets
with a nice profile,
785
00:29:18,867 --> 00:29:21,533
that will look a thousand
times better with a fresh
coat of paint.
786
00:29:24,166 --> 00:29:27,500
-That's actually coming out
quite nice.
-Very nice.
787
00:29:27,533 --> 00:29:30,166
Yeah, I mean, the quality of
the door is actually
pretty nice.
788
00:29:30,266 --> 00:29:33,467
So I think this is gonna turn
out really good.
789
00:29:35,533 --> 00:29:37,500
[sanding machine whirring]
790
00:29:42,166 --> 00:29:44,030
We were able to keep a lot of
the original hardwood flooring
in some areas of the house,
791
00:29:44,030 --> 00:29:45,000
We were able to keep a lot of
the original hardwood flooring
in some areas of the house,
792
00:29:46,367 --> 00:29:50,166
but anything that had asbestos
tile on top of it had to be
removed.
793
00:29:50,166 --> 00:29:53,700
We're tying in some new Red
Oak board to blend the two
areas,
794
00:29:53,734 --> 00:29:57,266
sanding them down and then
adding a uniform dark stain
to match.
795
00:29:57,266 --> 00:29:59,700
This partial replacement saves
us some money,
796
00:29:59,734 --> 00:30:02,800
but more importantly, gave us
the look that's both brand new
797
00:30:02,867 --> 00:30:05,367
yet feels like it's always
been in this historic home.
798
00:30:12,467 --> 00:30:14,030
[Jonathan] Brian and Ephie's
old kitchen was cramped,
799
00:30:14,030 --> 00:30:14,367
[Jonathan] Brian and Ephie's
old kitchen was cramped,
800
00:30:14,467 --> 00:30:15,000
and they desperately needed
usable storage.
801
00:30:16,867 --> 00:30:21,166
Their new kitchen will not
only be the heart of the home,
but will have tons of cabinets
802
00:30:21,266 --> 00:30:24,166
as well as their old mudroom,
which had nowhere to put
anything
803
00:30:24,166 --> 00:30:26,000
except their dog.
804
00:30:29,367 --> 00:30:33,900
Brian's health scare early on
made it extra urgent for me
to get this reno done on time.
805
00:30:33,967 --> 00:30:37,533
We're one step closer now with
the arrival of our custom
windows.
806
00:30:37,533 --> 00:30:40,066
They are critical to the
design of the new kitchen,
807
00:30:40,066 --> 00:30:41,600
and were not easy to get
approved.
808
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:44,030
Well, it's a good thing they
allowed us to do this, because
809
00:30:44,030 --> 00:30:45,000
Well, it's a good thing they
allowed us to do this, because
810
00:30:47,066 --> 00:30:50,100
we would never have been able
to put our kitchen in this
exact layout
811
00:30:50,100 --> 00:30:52,367
if we were not able to raise
these windows up.
812
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,166
[satisfied whistle]
813
00:30:58,266 --> 00:31:00,734
[Drew] Brian and Ephie have
a huge extended family,
814
00:31:00,734 --> 00:31:02,500
and they love to cook and
entertain.
815
00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:05,967
Now, they could not do that in
their old kitchen, which was
tight and it was tucked away,
816
00:31:05,967 --> 00:31:07,500
forgotten at the back of
the house.
817
00:31:07,500 --> 00:31:10,734
The new kitchen is, like,
twice the size, right up at
the front of the house.
818
00:31:10,734 --> 00:31:14,030
In fact, the massive island
alone is almost the same size
as their entire old kitchen.
819
00:31:14,030 --> 00:31:14,800
In fact, the massive island
alone is almost the same size
as their entire old kitchen.
820
00:31:14,867 --> 00:31:15,000
Oh, yeah, I like how you guys
are standing here acting
all busy.
821
00:31:17,467 --> 00:31:18,867
I'm lifting shims, man.
822
00:31:19,533 --> 00:31:21,166
All right, watch my fingers.
823
00:31:21,266 --> 00:31:23,100
-Watch it, watch it.
-One more, one more.
824
00:31:23,100 --> 00:31:24,467
-There you go.
-Wow.
825
00:31:25,467 --> 00:31:26,700
That looks pretty good.
826
00:31:26,734 --> 00:31:28,967
[Jonathan] This is just
spectacular.
827
00:31:28,967 --> 00:31:34,100
From the closed-off tiny
kitchen they had before, to
now having so much prep space.
828
00:31:34,166 --> 00:31:35,367
Makes you wanna cook.
829
00:31:35,367 --> 00:31:37,367
Now, it's like, so much
room in here.
830
00:31:37,367 --> 00:31:39,266
We can have five people
cooking in here.
831
00:31:39,367 --> 00:31:42,100
We could. And sitting, because
we got the breakfast bar
seating.
832
00:31:42,100 --> 00:31:44,030
So I feel because I lifted
this in here for the dry fit,
833
00:31:44,030 --> 00:31:45,000
So I feel because I lifted
this in here for the dry fit,
834
00:31:45,734 --> 00:31:49,166
you guys can lift it up and
then I'll go get the glue and
we'll get this down, okay?
835
00:31:49,166 --> 00:31:51,867
-You know what? We could do it
in our sleep.
-[both chuckle]
836
00:31:53,066 --> 00:31:54,166
You've done this before.
837
00:32:00,900 --> 00:32:02,100
Perfect.
838
00:32:08,533 --> 00:32:12,166
[old-timey voice] Would you
like to see the royal faucet?
839
00:32:12,166 --> 00:32:14,030
-Yes.
-[exclaiming]
840
00:32:14,030 --> 00:32:14,266
-Yes.
-[exclaiming]
841
00:32:14,266 --> 00:32:15,000
-This one looks good.
-Fancy, huh?
842
00:32:16,166 --> 00:32:18,533
I love that. I love that. Hold
on one sec.
843
00:32:19,533 --> 00:32:21,700
I'm just thinking about this.
844
00:32:21,734 --> 00:32:23,467
-Are we gonna hit the window?
-No.
845
00:32:23,467 --> 00:32:23,900
[all groaning in frustration]
846
00:32:26,900 --> 00:32:27,000
Ugh!
847
00:32:27,867 --> 00:32:30,166
I think we went maybe
too tall.
848
00:32:30,166 --> 00:32:33,367
No, no. We're clear. Because
the angle that it goes
through...
849
00:32:33,367 --> 00:32:35,266
Hold on. Let me hold it
from underneath.
850
00:32:36,100 --> 00:32:37,600
-No!
-It hit?
851
00:32:37,634 --> 00:32:39,166
-Yeah, it's hitting.
-Oh, my gosh.
852
00:32:40,166 --> 00:32:42,000
All this work.
853
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,533
[Jonathan] You know what else
we can do, actually?
854
00:32:43,867 --> 00:32:46,634
Hmm.
855
00:32:46,634 --> 00:32:50,600
We have so much depth
to play with in here.
856
00:32:50,634 --> 00:32:54,266
We could set this back and
just do a jam extension.
857
00:32:54,266 --> 00:32:56,486
'Cause if we set this window
back even, like,
one inch,
858
00:32:56,486 --> 00:32:57,000
'Cause if we set this window
back even, like,
one inch,
859
00:32:58,066 --> 00:33:00,266
-that would be enough
to clear it.
-Oh, actually...
860
00:33:00,266 --> 00:33:03,367
-That's a good solution.
-This is one of those moments
where it's like,
861
00:33:03,367 --> 00:33:07,266
there was so much work in
re-running all the plumbing,
moving everything here,
862
00:33:07,266 --> 00:33:09,634
planning this all out,
raising the window,
863
00:33:09,634 --> 00:33:13,100
making the window look
original. Everything was
going right.
864
00:33:13,166 --> 00:33:14,734
There had to be a roadblock.
865
00:33:14,734 --> 00:33:17,066
-I'll get the drill.
Let's fix this.
-Okay.
866
00:33:19,533 --> 00:33:20,967
Okay.
867
00:33:20,967 --> 00:33:22,266
Two and a quarter inches.
868
00:33:23,867 --> 00:33:25,166
That's it, right there.
869
00:33:26,367 --> 00:33:26,486
Ready?
870
00:33:26,486 --> 00:33:27,000
Ready?
871
00:33:33,166 --> 00:33:34,100
There.
872
00:33:34,166 --> 00:33:35,367
You're level. Go for it.
873
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,467
[both cheering]
874
00:33:37,467 --> 00:33:39,734
All right.
875
00:33:39,734 --> 00:33:43,467
I went from feeling very sad
to positive vibes.
876
00:33:43,467 --> 00:33:45,734
I'm just really happy we
didn't already close this all
up out here.
877
00:33:46,367 --> 00:33:47,467
All right. Good.
878
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,367
This reno was more complex
than I anticipated.
879
00:33:52,367 --> 00:33:55,166
And I hope that the faucet
issue is the only little snag
880
00:33:55,266 --> 00:33:56,486
as we head into
the final phase.
881
00:33:56,486 --> 00:33:56,900
as we head into
the final phase.
882
00:33:56,967 --> 00:33:57,000
Because we have a lot of
finishing work ahead.
883
00:33:59,634 --> 00:34:02,533
From brightening up the
mudroom with low profile
lighting,
884
00:34:02,533 --> 00:34:05,066
to custom floor to ceiling
kitchen cabinets,
885
00:34:07,734 --> 00:34:10,367
and adding a beautiful quartz
slab backsplash
886
00:34:10,467 --> 00:34:12,600
that has to fit precisely
into place.
887
00:34:15,867 --> 00:34:19,600
Brian and Ephie wanted to
renovate this house so it was
perfect for their family.
888
00:34:19,634 --> 00:34:22,467
Especially their two kids who
need a new hangout spot since
889
00:34:22,467 --> 00:34:24,634
we took their old one to make
a new kitchen.
890
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:26,486
From tiny cramped kitchen
891
00:34:26,486 --> 00:34:27,000
From tiny cramped kitchen
892
00:34:28,734 --> 00:34:33,166
to all of a sudden, incredibly
spacious, stylish media room.
893
00:34:33,266 --> 00:34:35,367
-And this blue is much better.
-Oh, yeah.
894
00:34:35,367 --> 00:34:39,166
I like it. This is gonna make
them very very happy.
895
00:34:39,166 --> 00:34:43,266
It's a very tiny space.
Looking at this, I can't
believe this was a kitchen.
896
00:34:43,266 --> 00:34:45,867
This is just such a great
media room.
897
00:34:45,867 --> 00:34:48,467
I don't know if the kids will
allow the parents in here,
but...
898
00:34:48,467 --> 00:34:51,500
I can support the kids. Let's
make this just for them.
899
00:34:53,166 --> 00:34:55,266
[Drew] Fixing all the
issues of this historic home,
900
00:34:55,367 --> 00:34:56,486
the asbestos, the knob and
tube, and the special permit.
901
00:34:56,486 --> 00:34:57,000
the asbestos, the knob and
tube, and the special permit.
902
00:34:58,066 --> 00:35:00,266
And of course, navigating
Brian's health challenges,
903
00:35:00,367 --> 00:35:03,000
made it extra important for us
to get this done quickly
904
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,634
and give Brian and Ephie
a safe place to finally
call home.
905
00:35:05,634 --> 00:35:11,900
The reno is finished and we
could not be happier or more
relieved to show it to them.
906
00:35:11,967 --> 00:35:16,000
I'm already noticing how much
more stuff we can get in this
kitchen than in the old one.
907
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:20,367
It's crazy. Their old kitchen
was, like, this small section.
There's so much function.
908
00:35:20,467 --> 00:35:22,800
-Do I have to test the window?
Is it gonna hit the faucet?
-No, we're good.
909
00:35:22,867 --> 00:35:26,486
Everything looks good,
everything's beautiful. This
is going to just give them
910
00:35:26,486 --> 00:35:27,000
Everything looks good,
everything's beautiful. This
is going to just give them
911
00:35:27,734 --> 00:35:29,500
what they always dreamt this
house could be.
912
00:35:31,967 --> 00:35:33,734
[scatting]
913
00:35:36,734 --> 00:35:39,900
-[Drew] The children's artwork
looks awesome on that wall.
-Oh, that's-- I did that.
914
00:35:39,967 --> 00:35:43,166
Oh, you did? That's very cute.
Very sweet.
915
00:35:43,166 --> 00:35:46,634
This is definitely gonna be
a spot that gets used a lot.
916
00:35:46,634 --> 00:35:48,900
-Should we grab Brian
and Ephie?
-Yes, let's do it.
917
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,867
Oh, you guys are racing
to get in there.
918
00:35:55,867 --> 00:35:56,486
[all laughing]
919
00:35:56,486 --> 00:35:56,800
[all laughing]
920
00:35:56,967 --> 00:35:57,000
I really am excited to see
this kitchen though.
921
00:35:58,867 --> 00:35:59,634
Oh, it's spectacular.
922
00:36:01,734 --> 00:36:03,367
-[Brian] Oh, wow.
-[Ephie laughing]
923
00:36:04,367 --> 00:36:05,500
Oh, my gosh.
924
00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:06,800
-[Brian] Oh, my gosh that's
gorgeous.
-Oh, my gosh.
925
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,367
You guys are racing
to get in there.
926
00:36:13,367 --> 00:36:14,533
[all laughing]
927
00:36:14,533 --> 00:36:16,634
I really am excited to see
this kitchen though.
928
00:36:16,634 --> 00:36:19,100
[Jonathan] We are too. After
everything you guys have been
through.
929
00:36:22,734 --> 00:36:24,900
Wow.
930
00:36:24,967 --> 00:36:27,634
-[Brian] Oh, my gosh, that's
gorgeous.
-Oh, my gosh.
931
00:36:27,634 --> 00:36:29,266
Oh, my gosh!
932
00:36:29,266 --> 00:36:31,967
[Brian] It feels so much more
open than I expected it to.
933
00:36:31,967 --> 00:36:33,266
It's beautiful, right?
934
00:36:33,266 --> 00:36:35,734
[Ephie crying] I'm very
overwhelmed.
935
00:36:35,734 --> 00:36:38,100
-Yeah?
-[Drew] What's on your mind?
936
00:36:38,100 --> 00:36:39,667
I don't know, like... I never
thought that I could have a
kitchen or house like this.
937
00:36:39,667 --> 00:36:40,000
I don't know, like... I never
thought that I could have a
kitchen or house like this.
938
00:36:44,266 --> 00:36:47,867
I just had a wave of emotions.
I mean,
939
00:36:47,867 --> 00:36:52,266
I was overwhelmed and it was
just crazy walking through
that front door.
940
00:36:52,367 --> 00:36:54,000
I was blown away.
941
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,500
I wasn't sure what the kitchen
was gonna feel like in
a different part of the house,
942
00:36:56,533 --> 00:37:00,634
but when I saw it, it
immediately felt natural
and nice. I loved it.
943
00:37:00,634 --> 00:37:03,634
Well, it's exciting too 'cause
it's in such a better
location.
944
00:37:03,634 --> 00:37:06,100
-Yeah.
-It's the heart of the home.
Before it was, like,
945
00:37:06,100 --> 00:37:08,100
the big toe of the home.
It was way off.
946
00:37:08,100 --> 00:37:09,266
I'd say the little toe of
the home.
947
00:37:09,266 --> 00:37:09,667
Yeah, 'cause it was small.
948
00:37:09,667 --> 00:37:10,000
Yeah, 'cause it was small.
949
00:37:10,967 --> 00:37:14,867
Look out this way and tell me
how it feels to be able to see
950
00:37:14,867 --> 00:37:17,367
-from your kitchen to all
these different areas.
-[Brian] Yeah.
951
00:37:17,367 --> 00:37:19,867
I can finally see the dining
room table from the kitchen.
952
00:37:19,867 --> 00:37:21,533
-[Ephie] Yeah.
-[Brian] It's only ten
feet away.
953
00:37:21,533 --> 00:37:25,000
-[Drew] The flow is much
better for you guys.
-[Ephie] Yeah.
954
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,800
This is so great. What do you
think of this?
955
00:37:26,867 --> 00:37:29,367
I love it and it's not
too veiny.
956
00:37:29,367 --> 00:37:32,867
Like, the perfect amount
of texture...
957
00:37:32,867 --> 00:37:35,066
[Drew] This island is bigger
than your old kitchen.
958
00:37:35,066 --> 00:37:36,367
[Ephie] I know!
959
00:37:36,367 --> 00:37:38,800
You said the kids wanted to be
in the kitchen with you more.
960
00:37:38,867 --> 00:37:39,667
Now you have a space where
they can be part of cooking
and baking with you.
961
00:37:39,667 --> 00:37:40,000
Now you have a space where
they can be part of cooking
and baking with you.
962
00:37:41,734 --> 00:37:45,266
Yes, oh my gosh, there's
so much space.
963
00:37:45,266 --> 00:37:48,634
It's like, so much to take in.
I just... I... just...
964
00:37:48,634 --> 00:37:51,266
So awesome and I love
the sink.
965
00:37:51,367 --> 00:37:53,533
It's nice and deep and...
966
00:37:53,533 --> 00:37:54,900
[Drew] Spanish, right?
967
00:37:54,967 --> 00:37:56,967
Spanish style. You wanted
the Spanish style.
968
00:37:56,967 --> 00:37:58,266
-Oh, my Gosh.
-[Brian] This is so nice.
969
00:37:58,266 --> 00:38:00,900
We wanted to make sure that
some of it had a nod
of the Spanish.
970
00:38:00,967 --> 00:38:03,066
With still, maybe some more
subtle color tones.
971
00:38:03,066 --> 00:38:05,734
-Yeah, this is really it. It's
great. I love it.
-[Ephie] Yeah. Yeah.
972
00:38:05,734 --> 00:38:09,166
-And there's six burners here.
-Yeah, it's really cool.
973
00:38:09,266 --> 00:38:09,667
I can, like, cook so much
at the same time.
974
00:38:09,667 --> 00:38:10,000
I can, like, cook so much
at the same time.
975
00:38:11,634 --> 00:38:13,700
[Drew] Your house may be
historical, but all of your
976
00:38:13,734 --> 00:38:15,734
appliances are upgraded
and modern.
977
00:38:15,734 --> 00:38:18,900
-Storage right here is
lower too.
-Oh, my gosh.
978
00:38:18,967 --> 00:38:21,100
I didn't even notice that!
979
00:38:21,166 --> 00:38:23,000
And what's great about it is
that
980
00:38:23,634 --> 00:38:25,367
it closes quietly.
981
00:38:25,467 --> 00:38:27,467
And then, all this is pantry?
982
00:38:27,467 --> 00:38:30,166
An entire wall of pantry
storage.
983
00:38:31,166 --> 00:38:33,367
Oh, my gosh. It's, like...
984
00:38:33,467 --> 00:38:35,467
-so many shelves!
-[Brian] This is great.
985
00:38:35,533 --> 00:38:38,500
There's something you didn't
even notice here. You didn't
even comment on it.
986
00:38:38,533 --> 00:38:39,667
And it was the hardest thing
to do in here.
987
00:38:39,667 --> 00:38:40,000
And it was the hardest thing
to do in here.
988
00:38:41,533 --> 00:38:44,734
-The windows?
-Raising all the windows.
989
00:38:44,734 --> 00:38:47,533
All these windows are brand
new, but we had to make them
990
00:38:47,533 --> 00:38:49,967
an identical match
to the style of what was
here before.
991
00:38:49,967 --> 00:38:52,600
[Drew] Well, let me just
clarify, Jonathan charmed on
your behalf.
992
00:38:52,634 --> 00:38:54,467
Who could say no to that face.
993
00:38:54,467 --> 00:38:57,734
[Drew] If you think about it,
the windows before were below
this level.
994
00:38:57,734 --> 00:39:00,967
We just made them a little
shorter so we could raise them
up and get counters in here.
995
00:39:00,967 --> 00:39:04,166
Now you have so much more
functional space to your
kitchen.
996
00:39:04,166 --> 00:39:06,634
I'm so excited, because, like,
997
00:39:06,634 --> 00:39:09,467
we're gonna have all my, like,
cousins and aunties
and uncles.
998
00:39:09,467 --> 00:39:09,667
I think this is the kind of
kitchen that will bring a
family together
999
00:39:09,667 --> 00:39:10,000
I think this is the kind of
kitchen that will bring a
family together
1000
00:39:12,533 --> 00:39:13,533
and you'll create memories in.
1001
00:39:13,533 --> 00:39:15,634
Yeah, it 100% feels that way
to me as well.
1002
00:39:15,634 --> 00:39:18,867
One big transformation is
getting rid of that wall.
1003
00:39:18,867 --> 00:39:21,634
Because now you have sightline
all the way through
to the back.
1004
00:39:21,634 --> 00:39:25,500
You have great access in and
out with storage everywhere.
1005
00:39:25,533 --> 00:39:27,100
But it still looks good.
1006
00:39:27,100 --> 00:39:29,734
-I didn't know how different
it was going to feel.
-[Ephie] That looks awesome.
1007
00:39:29,734 --> 00:39:32,266
[Brian] And you're completely
right. The sightlines all
through to the back
1008
00:39:32,367 --> 00:39:35,066
just didn't exist before. Now
they do straight from
the kitchen.
1009
00:39:35,066 --> 00:39:38,166
[Drew] Do you think we put in
too much storage?
1010
00:39:38,166 --> 00:39:39,500
Is that gonna be a problem?
1011
00:39:39,500 --> 00:39:39,667
No, I think we're gonna be
just fine with the amount
of storage.
1012
00:39:39,667 --> 00:39:40,000
No, I think we're gonna be
just fine with the amount
of storage.
1013
00:39:41,467 --> 00:39:43,867
-Is there such a thing?
-[all laughing]
1014
00:39:43,867 --> 00:39:46,634
[Ephie] And I really... The
color in here, also, like...
1015
00:39:47,367 --> 00:39:49,166
-Spot on.
-I agree.
1016
00:39:49,266 --> 00:39:52,467
And I know you want to get
away from your old light blue
cabinets,
1017
00:39:52,467 --> 00:39:55,800
-we gave you a better blue.
-All right, let's see.
1018
00:39:55,867 --> 00:39:57,700
-[Brian] Awesome!
-[Ephie exclaims]
1019
00:39:57,734 --> 00:40:02,600
It's a nice blue. A
professional-looking blue.
Not like what we did.
1020
00:40:02,634 --> 00:40:04,166
A comfy corner for them, too.
1021
00:40:04,867 --> 00:40:06,266
[Brian] Great couch.
1022
00:40:06,367 --> 00:40:08,967
-Oh, this is nice and cozy.
-[Brian] Yeah, I know.
1023
00:40:08,967 --> 00:40:09,667
We'll be, like, up here and
just, like, hang out.
1024
00:40:09,667 --> 00:40:10,000
We'll be, like, up here and
just, like, hang out.
1025
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,533
Doesn't this feel more
appropriate as a use for this
1026
00:40:14,533 --> 00:40:16,367
space than the kitchen you had
here before?
1027
00:40:16,367 --> 00:40:19,533
[Brian] Yeah. I was worried
this was gonna feel too
cramped and it doesn't.
1028
00:40:19,533 --> 00:40:20,734
This feels really nice.
1029
00:40:20,734 --> 00:40:23,000
-To be gaming and eating and
watching TV.
-[Ephie] Yeah.
1030
00:40:23,066 --> 00:40:26,800
It's nice to have all this
storage here 'cause of all the
board games
1031
00:40:26,867 --> 00:40:29,800
-all the books, all the junk
that they collect. All that.
-[Ephie] Oh, yeah.
1032
00:40:29,867 --> 00:40:33,467
I mean, I keep noticing the
floors. I didn't even know you
could get floors like this.
1033
00:40:33,467 --> 00:40:35,367
-[Drew] The thin board?
-Yeah, the thin board.
1034
00:40:35,367 --> 00:40:39,000
We did actually rip the boards
down to get them to the right
size.
1035
00:40:39,066 --> 00:40:39,667
And it tied in beautifully.
1036
00:40:39,667 --> 00:40:40,000
And it tied in beautifully.
1037
00:40:40,233 --> 00:40:42,533
[Brian] This is way nicer than
our asbestos-laden floors.
1038
00:40:42,533 --> 00:40:45,166
Yeah, no, I mean this house
is safe,
1039
00:40:45,266 --> 00:40:49,533
it's functional, it's stylish.
I think the kids, it's gonna
blow their minds.
1040
00:40:49,533 --> 00:40:53,367
This is the only time you'll
get to sit here because the
kids won't let you back in.
1041
00:40:53,467 --> 00:40:55,367
-I know.
-It's a good teen hideaway
spot for sure.
1042
00:40:55,367 --> 00:40:57,967
This is the kids' zone. You're
not allowed in here.
1043
00:40:57,967 --> 00:41:01,266
Unless you're on your way
to do laundry. Then they're
probably okay with that.
1044
00:41:01,266 --> 00:41:03,867
Check out your laundry room.
Painted out the cabinets.
1045
00:41:03,867 --> 00:41:08,266
[Ephie] Oh! I like the colors.
The color's really nice.
1046
00:41:08,266 --> 00:41:09,667
[Ephie gasps]
1047
00:41:09,667 --> 00:41:10,000
[Ephie gasps]
1048
00:41:10,100 --> 00:41:14,166
Even the sink looks so nice.
Look at that!
1049
00:41:14,266 --> 00:41:17,634
Yeah, the sink is great. What
do you think of the shelf
right there?
1050
00:41:17,634 --> 00:41:23,367
I love it. So cool. It's so
awesome but I love this.
1051
00:41:23,367 --> 00:41:26,867
I'm glad you're gushing
because these are the same
cabinets. Just painted them.
1052
00:41:26,867 --> 00:41:29,166
Floors look great. Tied it
all together.
1053
00:41:29,266 --> 00:41:32,867
We didn't wanna have
a beautiful space in here
and then nothing back there.
1054
00:41:32,867 --> 00:41:34,367
No, we love it. It's really
nice. Great.
1055
00:41:35,266 --> 00:41:36,900
Get back over here. Come on.
1056
00:41:36,967 --> 00:41:39,467
I love that you're already
talking about who's gonna come
over here,
1057
00:41:39,467 --> 00:41:39,667
what are they gonna think.
1058
00:41:39,667 --> 00:41:40,000
what are they gonna think.
1059
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,367
That's the true test,
is when you have that first
get together.
1060
00:41:44,467 --> 00:41:47,367
It's gonna be so fun just
to show everybody around.
1061
00:41:47,367 --> 00:41:50,166
Can we already just get Leila
and Reid and my mom, like...
1062
00:41:50,166 --> 00:41:52,266
[all agreeing]
1063
00:41:52,367 --> 00:41:55,000
So we had a pretty emotional
couple of months.
1064
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,166
And it's been a roller
coaster.
1065
00:41:58,166 --> 00:42:02,967
I think now that we've seen
everything and we're super
excited and proud of it.
1066
00:42:02,967 --> 00:42:06,734
Like, we can move back in and
just have all our family
come over.
1067
00:42:06,734 --> 00:42:08,367
And celebrate all
the blessings.
1068
00:42:08,467 --> 00:42:09,667
So it's really settling to
feel back in our home. We're
excited to be here.
1069
00:42:09,667 --> 00:42:10,000
So it's really settling to
feel back in our home. We're
excited to be here.
1070
00:42:13,467 --> 00:42:15,367
-Wow!
-Hello!
1071
00:42:15,367 --> 00:42:17,266
-Nice!
-What do you think?
1072
00:42:17,266 --> 00:42:18,467
[Ephie] Go in, go in, go in.
1073
00:42:18,467 --> 00:42:20,166
-Yes, come on in.
-It's a little different.
1074
00:42:20,634 --> 00:42:22,166
[Leila] What?!
1075
00:42:22,166 --> 00:42:23,166
[Drew] Reid, you look blown
away.
1076
00:42:23,166 --> 00:42:26,166
I'm speechless. I don't know
what to say.
1077
00:42:26,166 --> 00:42:27,266
[all laughing]
1078
00:42:27,266 --> 00:42:29,800
-You have an island, mom.
-I know!
1079
00:42:29,867 --> 00:42:35,000
It's awesome to see my mom in
such a fancy,
1080
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,166
cool, modern kitchen.
1081
00:42:37,166 --> 00:42:39,667
And she looks so teeny-tiny in
such a big space.
1082
00:42:39,667 --> 00:42:40,000
And she looks so teeny-tiny in
such a big space.
1083
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,734
Next time we cook, we can all
be in here together.
1084
00:42:42,734 --> 00:42:46,867
-And I'm gonna make her famous
lumpias.
-You invite them.
1085
00:42:46,867 --> 00:42:48,800
-[Drew] Thank you.
-Oh, yeah. I'll definitely
take it.
1086
00:42:48,867 --> 00:42:50,066
[Drew] This is what it's all
about.
1087
00:42:50,066 --> 00:42:53,100
This is the heart of the home.
This is for an amazing family.
1088
00:42:53,100 --> 00:42:54,867
We hope that you create a lot
of new memories here.
1089
00:42:54,867 --> 00:42:57,266
-Cheers to family and
good times.
-[Brian] Cheers.
1090
00:42:57,367 --> 00:42:57,734
-Best experience ever!
-So grateful.
