1
00:00:03,318 --> 00:00:06,180
- We're playing
the question game, Mom.
- Question game.
2
00:00:06,180 --> 00:00:07,249
We're hanging out.
3
00:00:07,249 --> 00:00:09,111
My parents are over
which is awesome
4
00:00:09,111 --> 00:00:11,629
and we are playing
our favorite game.
5
00:00:11,629 --> 00:00:14,698
Charlotte, what would
you like to change
about your school?
6
00:00:14,698 --> 00:00:16,008
No dress code.
7
00:00:17,008 --> 00:00:18,215
- Oh.
- Ooh.
8
00:00:18,215 --> 00:00:20,043
So you'd just wear
your underwear to school?
9
00:00:20,043 --> 00:00:21,870
No!
10
00:00:21,870 --> 00:00:23,422
Literally, it's just
a stack of questions.
11
00:00:23,422 --> 00:00:25,629
- Any question
you can think of.
- Like, all sorts, yeah.
12
00:00:28,594 --> 00:00:30,387
- Cookies and cream.
- Good one.
13
00:00:30,387 --> 00:00:33,111
It's just
a nice conversation starter
and just gets them talking...
14
00:00:33,111 --> 00:00:35,491
- Yep.
- ...and gets them thinking
about different things.
15
00:00:35,491 --> 00:00:38,629
How was your grandparents'
childhood different
from yours?
16
00:00:38,629 --> 00:00:40,318
Well, I don't think
my grandparents
17
00:00:40,318 --> 00:00:42,525
really had a lot
of electricity and stuff.
18
00:00:42,525 --> 00:00:43,767
It's like
an icebreaker, almost.
19
00:00:43,767 --> 00:00:46,249
You know, it gets
everybody talking
and feeling comfortable.
20
00:00:46,249 --> 00:00:47,560
- All right, we gotta go.
- All right.
21
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,836
- You guys keep going.
- We gotta go meet
the Elleman's, guys.
22
00:00:49,836 --> 00:00:50,939
We'll see you in a little bit.
23
00:00:50,939 --> 00:00:52,215
Be good for Nan and Papa.
24
00:00:59,801 --> 00:01:01,146
We're heading to Allyn
and Aaron's, right?
25
00:01:01,146 --> 00:01:02,698
Yeah, this is interesting
up here.
26
00:01:02,698 --> 00:01:05,043
- We're like in the woods.
- In the mountains.
27
00:01:05,043 --> 00:01:07,525
So, they're right...
I think they're right
on the lake.
28
00:01:07,525 --> 00:01:09,043
We'll see what they want,
29
00:01:09,043 --> 00:01:12,180
but I think it'd be really fun
to make it more like
a cabin in the woods
30
00:01:12,180 --> 00:01:13,180
- 'cause they're...
- Like a lodge?
31
00:01:13,180 --> 00:01:14,629
Yeah, kind of lodgy.
32
00:01:14,629 --> 00:01:17,387
But not overly lodgy.
Not cheesy, but...
33
00:01:17,387 --> 00:01:19,594
Not... not lodgy lodgy,
just lodgy.
34
00:01:20,008 --> 00:01:20,801
Yeah.
35
00:01:22,387 --> 00:01:23,353
All right, here they are.
36
00:01:23,353 --> 00:01:25,008
Oh, this is it.
37
00:01:25,008 --> 00:01:27,111
- Doesn't feel like
a lake house, you know?
- No, it doesn't.
38
00:01:27,111 --> 00:01:28,594
- Yeah.
- It feels like
it should be in a subdivision.
39
00:01:28,594 --> 00:01:30,043
Yeah. I think
we should change it.
40
00:01:30,043 --> 00:01:31,353
Hi!
41
00:01:31,353 --> 00:01:33,456
- Hello!
- Hello!
42
00:01:33,456 --> 00:01:35,387
- It's good to see you.
- You too.
43
00:01:35,387 --> 00:01:36,767
- How are you?
- Hey, good to see you.
44
00:01:36,767 --> 00:01:37,836
- Good to see you too.
- All right.
45
00:01:37,836 --> 00:01:39,284
- Come on in.
- This is so cool,
you guys.
46
00:01:39,284 --> 00:01:41,043
All right. Oh, we can see
the lake over there.
47
00:01:41,043 --> 00:01:43,974
- So, we're super excited
about the location.
- Yes, yes.
48
00:01:43,974 --> 00:01:46,180
But we would like
to maybe spruce it up
a little bit
49
00:01:46,180 --> 00:01:48,422
- and make it fit
more to our personality.
- Yeah.
50
00:01:48,422 --> 00:01:49,629
- Yeah, okay.
- Okay.
51
00:01:49,629 --> 00:01:52,974
We bought this house to be
a, like, house for us for fun
52
00:01:52,974 --> 00:01:54,525
with our family
and our friends.
53
00:01:54,525 --> 00:01:57,180
However, the space
is just oddly shaped for us
54
00:01:57,180 --> 00:02:00,939
and we don't really know
how to set it up
to be our forever house.
55
00:02:00,939 --> 00:02:02,525
But what I do love,
56
00:02:02,525 --> 00:02:05,146
you walk in
and the first thing you see
is the lake and the trees,
57
00:02:05,146 --> 00:02:07,387
so you feel like
you're in a treehouse
58
00:02:07,387 --> 00:02:11,043
and you feel like
you're secluded and away
from a neighborhood.
59
00:02:11,043 --> 00:02:12,456
And that's why
we love coming out here.
60
00:02:12,456 --> 00:02:15,111
It's a great place
to recharge, reconnect
61
00:02:15,111 --> 00:02:17,146
and relax,
and have a lot of fun too.
62
00:02:17,146 --> 00:02:18,353
So,
we have three kids.
63
00:02:18,353 --> 00:02:19,629
Davis is 18.
64
00:02:19,629 --> 00:02:20,974
Carly is 17.
65
00:02:20,974 --> 00:02:22,594
And Lleyton is 13.
66
00:02:22,594 --> 00:02:27,043
This house is a place
to create memories for us
and for our kids.
67
00:02:27,043 --> 00:02:28,939
They're gonna be leaving
the nest pretty soon,
68
00:02:28,939 --> 00:02:32,284
and so we wanna
create a place where our kids
can come back and join us,
69
00:02:32,284 --> 00:02:33,905
whether they're in college
with their friends,
70
00:02:33,905 --> 00:02:36,560
or once they, you know,
go off and start families
of their own
71
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,284
and... and bring
our grandkids back.
72
00:02:38,284 --> 00:02:41,836
So, we look forward
to this space
as a destination.
73
00:02:41,836 --> 00:02:43,870
So, you guys just bought this
recently, right?
74
00:02:43,870 --> 00:02:45,939
- Yep, we did.
- We did.
We bought it recently.
75
00:02:45,939 --> 00:02:48,422
But when we came
and saw this property,
76
00:02:48,422 --> 00:02:50,111
we were taking
a tour of the backyard
77
00:02:50,111 --> 00:02:53,974
and these two huge
pileated woodpeckers
78
00:02:53,974 --> 00:02:55,836
came to a tree
that we were standing under.
79
00:02:57,525 --> 00:02:59,249
It's black and white
with this beautiful red head.
80
00:02:59,249 --> 00:03:01,077
- Okay.
- And it's
about the size of a hawk.
81
00:03:01,077 --> 00:03:02,249
And that was
really special to us
82
00:03:02,249 --> 00:03:05,525
because my mom passed away
just a couple of years ago,
83
00:03:05,525 --> 00:03:07,525
and it was her favorite
creature in the whole world.
84
00:03:07,525 --> 00:03:09,215
- And now two of them.
- And so, it was just
kind of a sign
85
00:03:09,215 --> 00:03:12,870
that maybe this was
where we were supposed
to spend our forever.
86
00:03:12,870 --> 00:03:14,008
- Oh, my gosh.
- Create memories.
87
00:03:14,008 --> 00:03:16,284
- Love that. I love that. Wow.
- Wow.
88
00:03:16,284 --> 00:03:19,387
Okay. So, what do
you guys have to spend
on this renovation?
89
00:03:19,387 --> 00:03:22,629
- Uh, we've set aside
$180,000...
- Okay.
90
00:03:22,629 --> 00:03:23,732
- ...um, for the renovation.
- That's a lot, yeah.
91
00:03:23,732 --> 00:03:25,008
Okay. Well,
let's talk about outside.
92
00:03:25,008 --> 00:03:27,043
We want it
to blend in,
feel very natural...
93
00:03:27,043 --> 00:03:28,767
- Mmm-hmm.
- ...feel like
the nature around the trees...
94
00:03:28,767 --> 00:03:29,698
- Mmm-hmm.
- ...the lake.
95
00:03:29,698 --> 00:03:32,146
And then, the exterior
I think just needs
96
00:03:32,146 --> 00:03:34,422
an updating from 1990.
97
00:03:34,422 --> 00:03:37,111
Like, being here in the woods,
up in the mountains,
98
00:03:37,111 --> 00:03:39,387
we should really
lean into that
99
00:03:39,387 --> 00:03:42,318
and try to make it look
like it really belongs.
100
00:03:42,318 --> 00:03:44,318
It's never gonna be
a log cabin,
101
00:03:44,318 --> 00:03:46,387
- but if you can get
some wood columns.
- Yeah.
102
00:03:46,387 --> 00:03:48,353
And some...
maybe some cedar accents,
103
00:03:48,353 --> 00:03:50,629
kind of makes it feel
like it's in the woods.
104
00:03:50,629 --> 00:03:51,594
- Yeah.
- We love that.
105
00:03:51,594 --> 00:03:54,249
Okay, So,
plan for the exterior,
106
00:03:54,249 --> 00:03:56,801
first of all, we've gotta
fix up this landscaping.
107
00:03:56,801 --> 00:03:59,422
We'll paint. We'll figure out
what to do with the brick.
108
00:03:59,422 --> 00:04:00,767
Add some cedar posts.
109
00:04:00,767 --> 00:04:04,456
And really just create
kind of a modern lodge
in the woods.
110
00:04:04,456 --> 00:04:05,491
- I love it.
- Sounds great.
111
00:04:05,491 --> 00:04:06,594
- Okay. All right Let's go in.
- Let's go inside.
112
00:04:06,594 --> 00:04:07,732
- All right.
- All right.
We'll follow you guys.
113
00:04:08,767 --> 00:04:10,698
Okay. Try not to trip.
114
00:04:10,698 --> 00:04:12,215
- Sorry.
- It is kind of
a treacherous walkway here.
115
00:04:12,215 --> 00:04:13,491
- Yes.
- It is.
116
00:04:13,491 --> 00:04:15,111
We'll create
a better pathway to the house.
117
00:04:15,111 --> 00:04:16,422
Well, speaking of treacherous,
118
00:04:16,422 --> 00:04:18,318
- be careful when you walk
in the front door.
- Okay.
119
00:04:18,318 --> 00:04:20,767
Oh, wow,
there's a hole.
120
00:04:20,767 --> 00:04:23,249
That is. You almost
have to just go down
a little bit
121
00:04:23,249 --> 00:04:26,008
- to get the door closed.
- Wow, that's crazy.
122
00:04:26,008 --> 00:04:29,111
- Okay.
- Okay. So, let's just
talk about this entry.
123
00:04:29,111 --> 00:04:31,111
We love
natural wood elements.
124
00:04:31,111 --> 00:04:32,353
- Uh-huh.
- Okay.
125
00:04:32,353 --> 00:04:34,077
But as far as, like,
the door and the bannister
126
00:04:34,077 --> 00:04:35,318
- might be able to...
- Take it all out.
127
00:04:35,318 --> 00:04:36,284
- It's dark.
- Mmm-hmm.
128
00:04:36,284 --> 00:04:37,456
You like it,
but take it all out.
129
00:04:37,456 --> 00:04:40,767
- Yeah.
- We like natural,
but maybe updated.
130
00:04:40,767 --> 00:04:43,318
Okay. Well,
we'll deal with this.
131
00:04:43,318 --> 00:04:44,456
But what do we have out here?
132
00:04:44,456 --> 00:04:46,043
- This is where
all the fun happens.
- Okay.
133
00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:48,905
Oh, this is cool.
How cute.
134
00:04:48,905 --> 00:04:50,284
It's a big room.
Wow!
135
00:04:50,284 --> 00:04:51,698
- It is a big room.
- Oh, my gosh,
it's a huge room.
136
00:04:51,698 --> 00:04:53,077
- It's almost too big
'cause we don't...
- Yeah.
137
00:04:53,077 --> 00:04:54,077
...even really know
what to do with it.
138
00:04:54,077 --> 00:04:55,318
- And we're afraid for wasting.
- Right.
139
00:04:55,318 --> 00:04:57,905
- You have Skee-ball.
- We have Skee-ball.
140
00:04:57,905 --> 00:05:00,422
- Oh, that's fun.
- I don't know if you've ever
had a Skee-ball in your house.
141
00:05:00,422 --> 00:05:01,974
- I like it.
- What? That's awesome.
142
00:05:03,043 --> 00:05:04,939
Wait, this is, like,
legit Skee-ball.
143
00:05:06,698 --> 00:05:07,491
Now go for it.
144
00:05:08,836 --> 00:05:10,284
- Oh!
- That's pretty good.
145
00:05:10,284 --> 00:05:12,111
Okay, you do one.
See if you can beat me.
146
00:05:12,111 --> 00:05:13,525
Come on.
147
00:05:13,525 --> 00:05:15,491
- Oh!
- I think Jenny wins.
148
00:05:15,491 --> 00:05:17,077
Winner.
Winner, winner.
149
00:05:17,077 --> 00:05:18,422
So, yeah,
it's an odd space
150
00:05:18,422 --> 00:05:20,215
- that we've never really...
- Sorry. Back to it.
151
00:05:20,215 --> 00:05:22,043
...figured out
what to do with.
152
00:05:22,043 --> 00:05:23,456
Yeah. And what about
the fireplace?
153
00:05:23,456 --> 00:05:24,974
Let's go check this out.
154
00:05:24,974 --> 00:05:26,663
- So, we love fire.
- Okay.
155
00:05:26,663 --> 00:05:28,663
- We love lighting fire here.
- Okay. Ooh! I love fire too.
156
00:05:28,663 --> 00:05:31,732
- We're not afraid
of rustic, or masculine, or...
- Yeah.
157
00:05:31,732 --> 00:05:33,215
- This is cute.
- Like, we love wood.
158
00:05:33,215 --> 00:05:34,146
Does it work?
159
00:05:34,146 --> 00:05:35,077
- Oh, yeah.
- Works really well.
160
00:05:35,077 --> 00:05:36,008
- Okay.
- Okay, great.
161
00:05:36,008 --> 00:05:37,008
What about flooring?
162
00:05:37,008 --> 00:05:39,111
We do not
love the carpet.
163
00:05:39,111 --> 00:05:40,594
Yeah, especially
'cause you're at the lake.
164
00:05:40,594 --> 00:05:43,732
- We would be fine
with even, like, a nice LVP.
- Engineered or something?
165
00:05:43,732 --> 00:05:44,732
- Yeah, oh yeah.
- Yeah.
166
00:05:44,732 --> 00:05:46,767
I think if we just
make this really cozy.
167
00:05:46,767 --> 00:05:49,249
'Cause I see this, like,
little space here
and the fire.
168
00:05:49,249 --> 00:05:50,698
I don't know. I just think
that we can do something
169
00:05:50,698 --> 00:05:52,560
- nice in here, so...
- Okay.
170
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,801
The plan
for the living room
is to start with new flooring,
171
00:05:56,801 --> 00:05:59,525
and then paint,
new lighting,
172
00:05:59,525 --> 00:06:01,456
and then,
really the biggest thing
173
00:06:01,456 --> 00:06:04,594
is to update this fireplace
and built-in wall
174
00:06:04,594 --> 00:06:07,732
to give it a more modern
cabin feel.
175
00:06:07,732 --> 00:06:09,974
- All right, what's next?
- I love it.
176
00:06:09,974 --> 00:06:11,387
I think we'll take you
to the dining room next.
177
00:06:11,387 --> 00:06:12,767
- Okay.
- Dining room,
okay, let's go.
178
00:06:12,767 --> 00:06:15,560
So, we do plan
to have large gatherings
179
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,594
- with our friends and family.
- Okay.
180
00:06:17,594 --> 00:06:20,008
So we like the idea
of having a longer table.
181
00:06:20,008 --> 00:06:21,629
This room is just
really strange to me.
182
00:06:21,629 --> 00:06:23,491
- Okay.
- I think it'd be great
if we could
183
00:06:23,491 --> 00:06:26,422
- see into the living room
where everyone's gathering...
- Yes.
184
00:06:26,422 --> 00:06:27,732
...and kind of come and go.
185
00:06:27,732 --> 00:06:30,732
So, what if we
opened up this wall
out to the living room,
186
00:06:30,732 --> 00:06:32,629
and then I think
that could help it feel...
187
00:06:32,629 --> 00:06:33,767
- Yeah.
- ...a little more open
as well.
188
00:06:33,767 --> 00:06:35,836
- All right.
- Okay. So, this
is a giant room.
189
00:06:35,836 --> 00:06:37,456
- What is... What is this?
- What is this?
190
00:06:37,456 --> 00:06:39,560
This is our oversized
laundry room.
191
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,043
Wow, it's huge.
192
00:06:41,043 --> 00:06:42,215
- There's the two...
- Is that a little
bathroom too?
193
00:06:42,215 --> 00:06:44,560
It is.
A little half bath back there.
194
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:45,905
And this is, like,
the best view.
195
00:06:45,905 --> 00:06:48,663
It really is the best view
of the lake
from the whole house.
196
00:06:48,663 --> 00:06:51,215
- Right.
- So it's a shame
that it's in the laundry room.
197
00:06:51,215 --> 00:06:54,008
- Yeah, seems like
a waste of space.
- So where is the main bedroom?
198
00:06:54,008 --> 00:06:55,974
Our main bedroom
is downstairs.
199
00:06:55,974 --> 00:06:58,629
- Okay.
- And there
is no view of the lake.
200
00:06:58,629 --> 00:07:00,560
Okay. Should we go back
into the dining room?
201
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:01,801
- Sure.
- Okay.
202
00:07:01,801 --> 00:07:04,732
What if we took some of this,
like, we open all this up,
203
00:07:05,698 --> 00:07:08,249
took this dining room space,
204
00:07:08,249 --> 00:07:10,629
and created the bedroom
from all of that,
205
00:07:10,629 --> 00:07:12,318
and then moved
your dining room out
206
00:07:12,318 --> 00:07:14,146
- where the Skee ball is?
- Skee-ball?
207
00:07:14,146 --> 00:07:15,525
Uh, we love that idea.
208
00:07:15,525 --> 00:07:17,663
- I mean, a way to open up,
you know, that space.
- Okay.
209
00:07:17,663 --> 00:07:19,043
Make this more functional.
210
00:07:19,043 --> 00:07:21,491
Okay. So with that in mind,
211
00:07:21,491 --> 00:07:24,249
let's look at the kitchen,
and then we can figure
all this out, this puzzle.
212
00:07:24,249 --> 00:07:25,560
Find a cohesive plan for it.
213
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,077
- Yeah, all right.
- The kitchen is actually
a large space.
214
00:07:29,077 --> 00:07:30,180
Oh, wow, this is.
215
00:07:30,180 --> 00:07:31,594
- It's really nice.
- Yeah, really.
216
00:07:31,594 --> 00:07:34,146
But there really
is no view here.
217
00:07:34,146 --> 00:07:35,215
Can we open this up?
218
00:07:37,008 --> 00:07:38,801
It could open all the way
up to here, right?
219
00:07:38,801 --> 00:07:39,836
Over here.
220
00:07:40,836 --> 00:07:42,870
Yeah. So, we've got basically
221
00:07:44,043 --> 00:07:45,698
- like, seven feet.
- The span of my arms.
222
00:07:45,698 --> 00:07:47,180
- ...Oh, that's
what I was just...
- Six to seven feet.
223
00:07:47,180 --> 00:07:48,629
I was just coming to do that.
224
00:07:48,629 --> 00:07:51,146
- Dave, it's like
we're thinking alike.
- Thinking alike.
225
00:07:51,146 --> 00:07:53,525
- Are you hugging me?
- No, but I was just
gonna say
226
00:07:53,525 --> 00:07:55,387
I measured it over there.
227
00:07:55,387 --> 00:07:57,732
So open it up to here
and you can see out there.
228
00:07:57,732 --> 00:07:59,318
- That would help.
- We love that idea.
229
00:07:59,318 --> 00:08:00,767
- What do
you guys think?
- We would love that, mmm-hmm.
230
00:08:00,767 --> 00:08:02,284
- So, what do you need
in your kitchen?
- Yeah.
231
00:08:02,284 --> 00:08:03,974
Like, tell us
your ideal kitchen.
232
00:08:03,974 --> 00:08:05,836
We love to cook
together as a family,
233
00:08:05,836 --> 00:08:07,974
so ideally we would have
new appliances.
234
00:08:07,974 --> 00:08:08,974
- Okay.
- Okay.
235
00:08:08,974 --> 00:08:10,215
If we're getting
rid of our pantry,
236
00:08:10,215 --> 00:08:12,180
- we would need
some food storage.
- Storage.
237
00:08:12,180 --> 00:08:14,525
- Yep.
- We'll bring the cabinets
up to the ceiling.
238
00:08:14,525 --> 00:08:16,077
'Cause that's wasted space
right now.
239
00:08:16,077 --> 00:08:18,525
- Yep.
- Put some lighting in
other than just one light.
240
00:08:18,525 --> 00:08:20,422
The biggest thing
out of all of these spaces
241
00:08:20,422 --> 00:08:23,215
is just gonna be
giving it a personality
242
00:08:23,215 --> 00:08:26,249
and taking the...
our inspiration from outside.
243
00:08:26,249 --> 00:08:28,008
So making it feel like
when you come here,
244
00:08:28,008 --> 00:08:29,284
you're not just at any house.
245
00:08:29,284 --> 00:08:33,249
You're specifically
at a lake house
surrounded by trees.
246
00:08:33,249 --> 00:08:37,111
Yeah, so the plan in here,
I think we open this wall up
as much as we can,
247
00:08:37,111 --> 00:08:39,525
and then really just
reconfigure the whole space.
248
00:08:39,525 --> 00:08:41,491
So we have new cabinetry,
new appliances,
249
00:08:41,491 --> 00:08:43,146
new countertops,
250
00:08:43,146 --> 00:08:47,077
really giving it a modern
cabin in the woods feel.
251
00:08:47,077 --> 00:08:49,525
- Just making it up.
- You're going
to do architectural design.
252
00:08:49,525 --> 00:08:51,318
- I do. I keep
making things up.
- Right.
253
00:08:51,318 --> 00:08:52,215
Okay. I gotta see outside.
254
00:08:52,215 --> 00:08:53,491
We haven't even seen
the outside yet.
255
00:08:53,491 --> 00:08:55,284
That's our favorite part.
- Yes, let's do that. Okay.
256
00:08:56,767 --> 00:09:00,043
So, you know,
thinking about
what we need to do,
257
00:09:00,043 --> 00:09:02,491
- um, we love the space.
- Oh, you guys,
this is amazing.
258
00:09:02,491 --> 00:09:03,974
Okay. Let's talk about
the deck, though.
259
00:09:03,974 --> 00:09:05,974
So, yeah,
it just needs to be updated.
260
00:09:05,974 --> 00:09:08,353
I mean, really.
So I think when they put
the railing in
261
00:09:08,353 --> 00:09:09,698
- it wasn't to code.
- No.
262
00:09:09,698 --> 00:09:11,318
I could even
fall through that.
It's not to code.
263
00:09:11,318 --> 00:09:12,905
Whatever we can do
to get rid of the lattice
264
00:09:12,905 --> 00:09:14,732
- would be amazing.
- Yes, we'll get rid
of the lattice.
265
00:09:14,732 --> 00:09:15,905
It blocks the view too.
266
00:09:17,146 --> 00:09:18,525
This is amazing.
267
00:09:18,525 --> 00:09:21,594
This, like, firepit area
and this flat piece of ground,
268
00:09:21,594 --> 00:09:23,663
this part of your property
is so cool.
269
00:09:23,663 --> 00:09:26,077
- Look at this, you can sit
here and look out at the lake.
- Watch the lake.
270
00:09:26,077 --> 00:09:29,560
- Yeah, it just needs
a total overhaul, a fire pit.
- Yeah.
271
00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:31,215
- Um, Hammocks.
- And we'd like
a place to sit.
272
00:09:31,215 --> 00:09:32,146
A swing.
273
00:09:32,146 --> 00:09:33,767
Inside, I didn't see
you light up at all.
274
00:09:33,767 --> 00:09:35,801
- But we get out here,
this is your space.
- This is my space.
275
00:09:35,801 --> 00:09:36,974
- This is your space.
- This is my space.
276
00:09:36,974 --> 00:09:39,146
Yep, you can see,
I like to collect driftwood.
277
00:09:39,146 --> 00:09:41,491
This is a great one.
It's like a very
straight piece.
278
00:09:41,491 --> 00:09:43,422
My kids would say
this is a perfect
walking stick.
279
00:09:43,422 --> 00:09:45,077
Yeah, we, we can't
go on the lake, though,
280
00:09:45,077 --> 00:09:47,008
without me seeing
a piece of driftwood
on the shore...
281
00:09:47,008 --> 00:09:48,801
- Yes.
- ...and taking
the whole family over
282
00:09:48,801 --> 00:09:50,111
and loading the boat
up with a...
283
00:09:50,111 --> 00:09:51,698
- with a big piece
of driftwood.
- That's awesome.
284
00:09:51,698 --> 00:09:53,663
Okay. We'll clean up
this backyard.
285
00:09:53,663 --> 00:09:55,353
We'll give you a nice
new fire pit.
286
00:09:55,353 --> 00:09:58,422
Create a space for hammocks
and a dining area.
287
00:09:58,422 --> 00:10:00,525
And then we'll replace
this lattice railing
288
00:10:00,525 --> 00:10:02,663
with something to really
maximize the view.
289
00:10:02,663 --> 00:10:04,698
We just really need
to take what's already here
290
00:10:04,698 --> 00:10:06,387
- and just kind of elevate it
a little bit...
- Yeah.
291
00:10:06,387 --> 00:10:07,836
...'cause when you're here,
you wanna be outside.
292
00:10:07,836 --> 00:10:09,111
That's the beauty
of this place.
293
00:10:09,111 --> 00:10:11,939
Probably kitchen or fire pit
are the two places
294
00:10:11,939 --> 00:10:13,387
- that we'll spend
the most time.
- Spend the most time.
295
00:10:13,387 --> 00:10:14,698
- Okay.
- Okay.
296
00:10:14,698 --> 00:10:17,732
This backyard that looks
into the trees...
297
00:10:17,732 --> 00:10:18,801
- Mmm-hmm.
- ...down to the lake.
298
00:10:18,801 --> 00:10:20,318
- Amazing fire pit.
- Yeah.
299
00:10:20,318 --> 00:10:23,905
I can tell, like,
Aaron is excited about this.
300
00:10:23,905 --> 00:10:26,387
Yeah, Allyn and Aaron
really wanna get here
before summer starts.
301
00:10:26,387 --> 00:10:27,663
- Yeah.
- They're kids
are getting older,
302
00:10:27,663 --> 00:10:29,491
and the oldest
is about to go to college.
303
00:10:29,491 --> 00:10:31,525
They wanna have
summer here together,
304
00:10:31,525 --> 00:10:33,836
which means it'll be here
before we know it,
305
00:10:33,836 --> 00:10:35,077
and we have
a lot of work to do.
306
00:10:35,077 --> 00:10:36,732
All right. Well,
thank you so much
for showing us around.
307
00:10:36,732 --> 00:10:38,249
- Yeah, cheers man.
- It's exciting. Thank you.
308
00:10:38,249 --> 00:10:39,767
Pressure's on, Dave, let's go.
- Pressure's on.
309
00:10:39,767 --> 00:10:40,905
All right. Bye, guys.
310
00:10:50,353 --> 00:10:51,387
All right.
311
00:10:51,387 --> 00:10:53,939
Oh, my gosh.
So, everybody's here. Wow.
312
00:10:53,939 --> 00:10:55,180
Jenny Marrs.
313
00:10:55,180 --> 00:10:56,732
- Oh, you...
Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
- All right.
314
00:10:56,732 --> 00:10:58,974
So, I'm ready.
315
00:10:58,974 --> 00:11:01,180
I'm ready for the first demo.
316
00:11:01,180 --> 00:11:03,111
I really need to get
everybody pumped up.
317
00:11:03,111 --> 00:11:04,767
So, how do you do that, Jenny?
318
00:11:04,767 --> 00:11:07,077
I don't know, Dave.
I've got a few idea.
319
00:11:08,387 --> 00:11:09,836
Get to work.
320
00:11:09,836 --> 00:11:11,905
For my birthday,
my friend Cindy gave me
321
00:11:11,905 --> 00:11:15,525
one of my favorite gifts
I've ever received
quite possibly,
322
00:11:15,525 --> 00:11:16,387
tiny hands.
323
00:11:17,353 --> 00:11:18,974
So, it's demo day.
It's a lot of work.
324
00:11:18,974 --> 00:11:22,422
- I need to get
the team ready, fired up.
- Pumped up.
325
00:11:22,422 --> 00:11:25,111
Jazz hands, let's do it.
326
00:11:25,111 --> 00:11:27,456
- We gotta get going.
- I know, but everybody's
in a better mood, right?
327
00:11:27,456 --> 00:11:28,456
All right,
should we go inside?
328
00:11:28,456 --> 00:11:29,663
- Right.
- Please.
329
00:11:29,663 --> 00:11:32,146
So, really out here,
we're gonna change the door,
330
00:11:32,146 --> 00:11:33,594
but watch your step
when you come in...
331
00:11:33,594 --> 00:11:35,767
- Yeah.
- ...because there
is a staircase.
332
00:11:35,767 --> 00:11:37,215
All right. So, in here...
333
00:11:37,215 --> 00:11:38,767
- Carpet is gone.
- ...all the flooring,
334
00:11:38,767 --> 00:11:40,801
the mantel, the built-in.
335
00:11:40,801 --> 00:11:42,525
Yeah, I wanna talk about
this fireplace.
336
00:11:42,525 --> 00:11:47,594
So, I want to give them
a stone fireplace
337
00:11:47,594 --> 00:11:48,732
with, like,
round, smooth stones,
338
00:11:48,732 --> 00:11:51,629
so it kind of looks like
an old lodge.
339
00:11:51,629 --> 00:11:56,008
But the question is,
can this brick come down?
340
00:11:56,008 --> 00:11:58,698
I want to create a more
natural-looking fireplace
341
00:11:58,698 --> 00:12:02,870
that fits in better
with the surroundings
out here in the woods.
342
00:12:02,870 --> 00:12:06,180
So I would love to get
this brick taken off.
343
00:12:06,180 --> 00:12:08,249
Jenny, this is the same brick
as outside,
344
00:12:08,249 --> 00:12:10,008
you can see from the color.
345
00:12:10,008 --> 00:12:11,801
I'm worried
if we take this down,
346
00:12:11,801 --> 00:12:14,077
all that brick that goes up
out through the chimney,
347
00:12:14,077 --> 00:12:15,663
you're gonna lose
that whole structure
348
00:12:15,663 --> 00:12:17,008
- that goes out
through the roof.
- Yeah.
349
00:12:17,008 --> 00:12:18,698
We're gonna have to cover it
in something.
350
00:12:25,111 --> 00:12:27,043
Jenny, this
is the same brick as outside.
351
00:12:27,043 --> 00:12:30,215
- We're gonna have to cover it
in something.
- Okay.
352
00:12:30,215 --> 00:12:33,008
So, I was really hoping
that the brick
on this fireplace
353
00:12:33,008 --> 00:12:34,146
was just a facade.
354
00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:35,525
It's not.
355
00:12:35,525 --> 00:12:39,249
It is integrated
in the entire fireplace
356
00:12:39,249 --> 00:12:42,974
from basement
all the way through the roof.
357
00:12:42,974 --> 00:12:44,974
So in order to take
the brick down,
358
00:12:44,974 --> 00:12:47,422
we're gonna have to start
at the chimney,
work our way down.
359
00:12:47,422 --> 00:12:49,353
- Mmm-hmm.
- And we don't have
the budget for it.
360
00:12:49,353 --> 00:12:50,801
We don't have the time for it.
361
00:12:50,801 --> 00:12:52,008
What do you think?
362
00:12:52,008 --> 00:12:53,767
Well, if you cover it
with stone,
363
00:12:53,767 --> 00:12:56,180
what happens
to these edges here?
364
00:12:56,180 --> 00:12:57,905
Well, so if you do
a sticky stone,
365
00:12:58,491 --> 00:12:59,629
they make corners.
366
00:12:59,629 --> 00:13:00,801
All right. I'll just
have to go look
367
00:13:00,801 --> 00:13:02,249
'cause I don't want them
to look fake.
368
00:13:02,249 --> 00:13:03,870
All right.
So, let's get the rest
of these cabinets out.
369
00:13:07,284 --> 00:13:08,594
It's terrifying in there.
370
00:13:08,594 --> 00:13:10,422
- That's... That's why
we're in here.
- Oh, my gosh.
371
00:13:18,836 --> 00:13:21,284
First day of demolition
for the Elleman family.
372
00:13:21,284 --> 00:13:24,077
- Cabinets are coming out
really easily.
- Mmm-hmm.
373
00:13:24,077 --> 00:13:25,698
Appliances have all been salvaged
374
00:13:25,698 --> 00:13:27,387
and are going to go
to a new home.
375
00:13:27,387 --> 00:13:29,215
- We are just clipping along.
- Yep.
376
00:13:31,698 --> 00:13:33,318
Crazy! Whoo!
377
00:13:34,146 --> 00:13:35,180
You guys!
378
00:13:35,180 --> 00:13:36,939
- Yeah, I'm telling you.
- Way to knock it out.
379
00:13:36,939 --> 00:13:38,353
Well, I wish I had
my tiny hands.
380
00:13:38,353 --> 00:13:39,594
- Where'd they go?
- I don't know.
381
00:13:39,594 --> 00:13:40,698
- This is where we leave you...
- This is good.
382
00:13:40,698 --> 00:13:41,767
...and move
onto another section.
383
00:13:41,767 --> 00:13:43,215
Well, we also need
to open this little wall up.
384
00:13:43,215 --> 00:13:44,353
About seven foot of it.
385
00:13:44,353 --> 00:13:46,077
Yeah, let's open it
and then I'll be able to...
386
00:13:46,836 --> 00:13:48,525
be able to get creative.
387
00:13:48,525 --> 00:13:50,525
Right now,
it's just too tight in here.
388
00:13:55,698 --> 00:13:57,629
She needs
the tiny hands so you can
reach through there.
389
00:13:57,629 --> 00:13:59,939
Where's my tiny hammer
and my tiny hands?
390
00:13:59,939 --> 00:14:03,215
- I got the appropriate tools.
- Okay, thanks.
391
00:14:03,215 --> 00:14:05,111
Oh, much better, much better.
392
00:14:08,215 --> 00:14:11,698
Chase, I'm gonna let you
take over this job.
393
00:14:16,767 --> 00:14:19,318
Yeah. Oh, look at that!
So much light.
394
00:14:19,974 --> 00:14:21,008
- So much better.
- Yeah.
395
00:14:21,008 --> 00:14:22,456
OK, now... But look at this.
396
00:14:22,456 --> 00:14:26,663
So, this guy...
I mean, what do we think
is happening here?
397
00:14:26,663 --> 00:14:28,077
Well, I'm sure
it's a header, Jen.
398
00:14:28,077 --> 00:14:30,456
I know,
but can it be
a little shorter?
399
00:14:30,456 --> 00:14:32,146
I don't know.
I gotta go up in the attic
and look.
400
00:14:32,146 --> 00:14:35,353
We're really trying
to open up the kitchen
to the living room,
401
00:14:35,353 --> 00:14:38,318
- but that beam
is right in your face.
- Yeah.
402
00:14:38,318 --> 00:14:40,146
I think the only way
we're gonna fix this
403
00:14:40,146 --> 00:14:43,870
is hopefully we have
trusses upstairs
where we can remove the beam.
404
00:14:43,870 --> 00:14:48,043
Jenny, it's not
really looking that good
for losing that beam.
405
00:14:48,043 --> 00:14:51,318
- So it is all open rafters
as you can see.
- This is pretty.
406
00:14:51,318 --> 00:14:52,663
Hey,
what if we did this, though?
407
00:14:52,663 --> 00:14:57,456
- The beam has to stay
below the wall, unless...
- Okay.
408
00:14:57,456 --> 00:14:59,974
Like, if you look up here,
I'm... I've got tons of room.
409
00:14:59,974 --> 00:15:02,939
- Yeah.
- I wonder if we could
just take and vault
410
00:15:02,939 --> 00:15:04,422
that whole living room.
411
00:15:04,422 --> 00:15:07,387
Then we could set the beam
up here
412
00:15:07,387 --> 00:15:09,215
and then just do a vault.
413
00:15:09,215 --> 00:15:10,767
Oh, my gosh.
It would be amazing.
414
00:15:10,767 --> 00:15:12,767
- It'd give
the whole cabin look.
- Mmm-hmm.
415
00:15:12,767 --> 00:15:14,525
We got nothing but good news.
416
00:15:14,525 --> 00:15:16,318
- Nothing but good news.
- No, nothing. It's good.
Really good.
417
00:15:16,318 --> 00:15:17,767
- And that never happens.
- Never.
418
00:15:17,767 --> 00:15:19,560
So, we have rafters.
419
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,767
We have a stick-built roof.
420
00:15:21,767 --> 00:15:23,284
And what can we do
with this roof?
421
00:15:23,284 --> 00:15:25,043
Raise it. Raise the roof.
422
00:15:26,353 --> 00:15:28,767
- Is that good?
- Yeah, perfect.
423
00:15:28,767 --> 00:15:32,284
So, the easiest way
to take down a ceiling
is from up above.
424
00:15:33,422 --> 00:15:35,043
Whoa! Wow!
425
00:15:35,698 --> 00:15:36,767
Whoa!
426
00:15:36,767 --> 00:15:38,663
That was
a good one, man.
427
00:15:38,663 --> 00:15:41,111
The Elleman's have no idea
that this is happening.
428
00:15:41,939 --> 00:15:43,422
Whoa! Oh, my gosh.
429
00:15:43,422 --> 00:15:44,767
It's like a foam party
out there.
430
00:15:45,456 --> 00:15:46,525
Oh!
431
00:15:46,525 --> 00:15:47,801
It's gonna make
a huge difference.
432
00:15:47,801 --> 00:15:52,215
This entire space
is going to feel
so much bigger.
433
00:15:52,215 --> 00:15:53,870
Yeah, it's gonna
be like 15 feet.
434
00:15:53,870 --> 00:15:55,146
- It's gonna be sweet.
- It's gonna
be awesome.
435
00:15:55,146 --> 00:15:57,974
And we're gonna have
a nice, smooth transition...
436
00:15:57,974 --> 00:15:59,560
- Yes.
- ...from kitchen to living.
437
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:00,974
You can look right out
to the lake.
438
00:16:00,974 --> 00:16:03,043
A little winter wonderland
down here.
439
00:16:03,043 --> 00:16:04,249
Ah!
440
00:16:11,146 --> 00:16:14,525
It's a new day
and things are looking great
at the Elleman house.
441
00:16:14,525 --> 00:16:19,387
The living room ceiling
is exposed and ready
for a hidden header beam.
442
00:16:19,387 --> 00:16:22,215
The new main bedroom
and bathroom
have been framed out,
443
00:16:22,215 --> 00:16:24,629
which both look out
to an incredible view.
444
00:16:25,663 --> 00:16:27,008
And to capture those views,
445
00:16:27,008 --> 00:16:29,215
we're replacing
all of the windows
in the house,
446
00:16:29,215 --> 00:16:31,111
in the back
and in the front.
447
00:16:32,629 --> 00:16:34,284
Chris, what are you doing?
448
00:16:34,284 --> 00:16:36,353
- Just about
to pull this front door.
- I love it.
449
00:16:36,353 --> 00:16:38,525
I wanna see if we can
get this outta here
450
00:16:38,525 --> 00:16:41,077
and really, we gotta
change the swing on this.
451
00:16:41,077 --> 00:16:42,284
That's what
I was thinking too.
452
00:16:45,111 --> 00:16:46,077
Good.
453
00:16:49,767 --> 00:16:51,249
I like it.
454
00:16:51,249 --> 00:16:52,939
Hey, Chris, do you know
what I'm noticing here?
455
00:16:52,939 --> 00:16:54,974
- This is fiberboard siding.
- Oh, no.
456
00:16:54,974 --> 00:16:56,318
Like, it's literally...
457
00:16:56,318 --> 00:16:57,974
- I can see it.
- It just
kind of falls apart.
458
00:16:57,974 --> 00:17:00,215
Look at it.
We're gonna have to fix this.
459
00:17:00,215 --> 00:17:03,249
And fixing it is not
using this stuff anymore.
460
00:17:03,249 --> 00:17:04,456
I think at this point,
461
00:17:04,456 --> 00:17:07,974
- we know we're not gonna
be able to salvage this.
- Mmm-hmm.
462
00:17:07,974 --> 00:17:10,318
- We start pulling it off.
- Yeah.
463
00:17:10,318 --> 00:17:13,353
It'll make it easier
to break the news to Jenny
if it's all off of here.
464
00:17:16,698 --> 00:17:18,456
Can literally break it in two.
465
00:17:22,422 --> 00:17:23,663
Last piece.
466
00:17:24,456 --> 00:17:25,905
Dave?
467
00:17:25,905 --> 00:17:27,663
Where's the siding?
What are you doing?
468
00:17:27,663 --> 00:17:30,629
Okay. So, we ran
into a small problem.
469
00:17:33,525 --> 00:17:35,560
Wait. Like, there's no siding.
470
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:36,629
- I know.
- We don't have it
in the budget
471
00:17:36,629 --> 00:17:37,698
to replace the siding.
472
00:17:37,698 --> 00:17:38,801
I know. We're gonna
have to find it somewhere.
473
00:17:38,801 --> 00:17:39,698
This was rotten.
474
00:17:44,836 --> 00:17:47,043
Look, this was the siding
that was on the house.
475
00:17:49,284 --> 00:17:50,732
- So...
- Is it like this
on the whole house?
476
00:17:50,732 --> 00:17:52,284
'Cause this is a lot
of siding.
477
00:17:52,284 --> 00:17:55,732
No. Just under
the covered porch
where it never got sunlight.
478
00:17:55,732 --> 00:17:57,560
I knew we had
to remove the front door.
479
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:58,974
I knew we were replacing it.
480
00:17:58,974 --> 00:18:01,353
But I also thought
we were just gonna
be able to patch the siding.
481
00:18:01,353 --> 00:18:04,698
So I didn't know
all of the siding
was going to come off.
482
00:18:04,698 --> 00:18:06,836
- Of course,
neither of us knew that.
- No.
483
00:18:06,836 --> 00:18:09,146
But it has to come off
'cause it's damaged.
484
00:18:09,146 --> 00:18:13,456
- We can't look at this
in a totally negative light...
- No.
485
00:18:13,456 --> 00:18:15,905
...because I don't think
you ever really loved that.
486
00:18:15,905 --> 00:18:19,284
But if I see if we can find
like a split log siding.
487
00:18:19,284 --> 00:18:20,594
Okay. I mean,
I like that,
488
00:18:20,594 --> 00:18:23,077
but is it gonna
look weird just having it
in this one spot?
489
00:18:23,077 --> 00:18:24,939
'Cause it's not consistent.
490
00:18:24,939 --> 00:18:26,318
So you wanna
replace that as well?
491
00:18:27,111 --> 00:18:28,974
We don't' have any money.
492
00:18:28,974 --> 00:18:30,939
- Can't replace that.
- We're gonna
figure that out.
493
00:18:30,939 --> 00:18:32,663
- Okay.
- But I know
we have to replace that.
494
00:18:32,663 --> 00:18:35,043
- We don't have to do anything
with that right now.
- Okay.
495
00:18:35,043 --> 00:18:37,801
So, let's just
do this section,
496
00:18:37,801 --> 00:18:39,594
see how it looks,
497
00:18:39,594 --> 00:18:41,077
and then
I'll have to make a choice.
498
00:18:48,629 --> 00:18:50,111
Oh, good,
they got the boat out.
499
00:18:50,111 --> 00:18:53,698
- Okay. So, we should be
fueled up and ready to go.
- All right.
500
00:18:53,698 --> 00:18:56,146
Aaron Elleman
was so passionate
501
00:18:56,146 --> 00:18:58,422
when he was telling us
about driftwood.
502
00:18:58,422 --> 00:18:59,732
I really want
the Elleman's house
503
00:18:59,732 --> 00:19:02,146
to feel like
a cabin in the woods.
504
00:19:02,146 --> 00:19:05,732
And bringing elements
from the lake into the house
505
00:19:05,732 --> 00:19:07,491
is really gonna help
give us that feel.
506
00:19:07,491 --> 00:19:12,284
I'm thinking we try
to make the handrail
on the new staircase,
507
00:19:12,284 --> 00:19:14,180
and create it
out of driftwood.
508
00:19:14,180 --> 00:19:16,111
- That'd be kind of cool.
- We've just gotta
find the right pieces.
509
00:19:16,111 --> 00:19:17,180
Is that legal?
510
00:19:17,180 --> 00:19:19,043
Yeah, it's all...
It's all public shore.
511
00:19:20,008 --> 00:19:21,008
Okay.
512
00:19:22,249 --> 00:19:23,905
Babe, look at this.
You could...
513
00:19:23,905 --> 00:19:25,663
We could use this,
or we could cut it.
514
00:19:25,663 --> 00:19:28,249
Any of those.
I like that. Grab that.
515
00:19:28,249 --> 00:19:30,008
- Ooh, that one's perfect.
- Oh, this one is perfect.
516
00:19:30,008 --> 00:19:33,180
- Oh, yeah, that's nice.
That's perfect.
- That's like five posts.
517
00:19:33,180 --> 00:19:34,560
Yeah, nice.
518
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:35,456
This is a good one.
519
00:19:37,146 --> 00:19:38,422
'Cause you could
cut this one in half.
520
00:19:38,422 --> 00:19:39,767
This could be the top
and bottom.
521
00:19:39,767 --> 00:19:41,111
- I think this
is a really good one.
- Oh, I like that a lot.
522
00:19:41,111 --> 00:19:43,008
What about something
like this for the mantel?
523
00:19:43,008 --> 00:19:45,594
Oh,
that might actually work
for a mantel.
524
00:19:45,594 --> 00:19:47,525
I didn't know
we were talking
about a mantel.
525
00:19:47,525 --> 00:19:49,353
Well,
I'm just thinking.
526
00:19:49,353 --> 00:19:52,353
So, I gotta say the mantel
was never on my radar
527
00:19:52,353 --> 00:19:56,491
until Jenny Marrs spotted
this perfectly round log.
528
00:19:56,491 --> 00:19:57,560
- Yeah.
- I guess I could cut it.
529
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:58,767
I just don't know
how we'd mount it,
530
00:19:58,767 --> 00:20:01,387
- you know, take it
and cut it in half.
- Yeah.
531
00:20:01,387 --> 00:20:04,180
- Yeah, I think it's gonna be
really, really cool.
- I do too.
532
00:20:04,180 --> 00:20:06,698
It's gonna be the perfect
finishing touch
on this new fireplace.
533
00:20:12,077 --> 00:20:13,767
Whoa! Yes!
534
00:20:13,767 --> 00:20:15,387
I think we're done
for the day, Jenny Marrs.
535
00:20:15,387 --> 00:20:16,422
I'm tired.
536
00:20:26,215 --> 00:20:27,629
- Jenny, are you in here?
- Yeah.
537
00:20:28,663 --> 00:20:30,180
- Oh.
- This handrail idea.
538
00:20:30,180 --> 00:20:33,249
- I got all these cut to 34.
- Mmm-hmm.
539
00:20:33,249 --> 00:20:34,491
Here's the original,
540
00:20:34,491 --> 00:20:37,043
and so I planed
the bottom side of this cedar
541
00:20:38,077 --> 00:20:39,284
so it's flat.
542
00:20:40,008 --> 00:20:41,629
So...
543
00:20:44,870 --> 00:20:45,870
I don't know.
544
00:20:47,387 --> 00:20:48,767
So, I think...
545
00:20:48,767 --> 00:20:50,767
I mean, I really still
really like this
546
00:20:50,767 --> 00:20:52,594
'cause I think
it's really fun.
547
00:20:52,594 --> 00:20:55,594
But I feel like,
maybe we should
save the idea
548
00:20:55,594 --> 00:20:58,284
for, like, a playhouse,
or something.
549
00:20:58,284 --> 00:21:00,560
- I've literally been...
- I know. I know.
550
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,663
...planing and cutting wood.
551
00:21:03,698 --> 00:21:04,698
I know, Dave.
552
00:21:06,318 --> 00:21:07,077
It's okay.
553
00:21:13,801 --> 00:21:15,767
I mean, I really still
really like this,
554
00:21:15,767 --> 00:21:17,387
'cause I think
it's really fun.
555
00:21:17,387 --> 00:21:18,698
But now seeing it,
556
00:21:18,698 --> 00:21:20,663
and now the way
the rest of the house
is coming together,
557
00:21:21,870 --> 00:21:23,146
I don't know.
558
00:21:23,146 --> 00:21:24,594
And also the fact
that we did find
559
00:21:24,594 --> 00:21:26,284
that really cool
driftwood mantel,
560
00:21:26,284 --> 00:21:28,905
- I think we're giving him
the driftwood that he wants.
- Yeah.
561
00:21:28,905 --> 00:21:29,836
It's subtle.
562
00:21:29,836 --> 00:21:31,111
This feels a little...
563
00:21:31,111 --> 00:21:32,284
- Much.
- ...much.
564
00:21:32,284 --> 00:21:34,560
- Well, here's the thing.
Aaron loves driftwood.
- Yeah.
565
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,939
- He made that
abundantly clear to us.
- Yes.
566
00:21:36,939 --> 00:21:39,560
So, if there's a way
that we can figure out
567
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,663
how to implement it
in this entry handrail,
568
00:21:42,663 --> 00:21:43,525
I think it'd be really cool.
569
00:21:43,525 --> 00:21:45,456
So, what would you like?
570
00:21:45,456 --> 00:21:48,629
You think we just
do horizontal iron.
571
00:21:48,629 --> 00:21:50,422
- Go with the same idea,
but just do iron.
- I think that'd be cool.
572
00:21:50,422 --> 00:21:51,387
Okay.
573
00:21:57,146 --> 00:21:59,491
Let's place these in here
like so,
574
00:21:59,491 --> 00:22:00,560
and then we'll weld them up.
575
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:01,836
This'll go pretty fast.
576
00:22:03,284 --> 00:22:04,180
Let's do this.
577
00:22:10,801 --> 00:22:11,939
All right. And that...
578
00:22:13,146 --> 00:22:14,008
is all there is to it.
579
00:22:14,008 --> 00:22:16,422
And we've got
a really cool handrail.
580
00:22:16,422 --> 00:22:17,560
I mean, Aaron's gonna love it.
581
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:18,905
And holy cow, that's hot!
582
00:22:20,422 --> 00:22:22,043
I'm gonna let that cool
for a minute.
583
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,732
Back at the Elleman's,
crews are finishing
the light wood vinyl flooring
584
00:22:28,732 --> 00:22:30,974
to really brighten up
the entire house.
585
00:22:30,974 --> 00:22:34,870
And electric and insulation
have been completed
in the vaulted living room.
586
00:22:37,180 --> 00:22:39,767
A full trailer from you
usually means good things.
587
00:22:42,077 --> 00:22:44,043
- Oh!
- Oh! You're kidding me!
588
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,353
It's real log siding.
589
00:22:48,939 --> 00:22:49,732
Look at this.
590
00:22:49,732 --> 00:22:51,560
So, basically,
it'll stand up,
591
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,008
and then the little flat piece
where it looks like
chinked logs.
592
00:22:55,008 --> 00:22:59,801
We'll stack some up right now
and show you how amazing
it's gonna look.
593
00:22:59,801 --> 00:23:02,491
Like, you'll start to see
the dimension as we get
more of them.
594
00:23:02,491 --> 00:23:03,801
- Yeah.
- Let's stack three or four up.
595
00:23:05,077 --> 00:23:07,180
It's so much better
than the siding
that was there.
596
00:23:07,180 --> 00:23:09,077
Oh, I know,
I agree.
597
00:23:09,077 --> 00:23:11,111
So, I'm thinking
of doing the brick...
598
00:23:11,111 --> 00:23:13,043
painting the brick
a dark green
599
00:23:13,043 --> 00:23:15,387
to give it that,
like, cabin feel,
600
00:23:15,387 --> 00:23:18,560
- kind of a moody, dramatic...
- I love that.
601
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,836
- Love you.
- Love you.
602
00:23:20,836 --> 00:23:22,594
Oh, this worked out well.
It's almost all unloaded.
603
00:23:22,594 --> 00:23:23,525
Thanks, Daryl.
604
00:23:24,767 --> 00:23:26,284
Oh, there is quite a bit more. Ooh.
605
00:23:28,146 --> 00:23:30,146
So, Chris,
I'm looking at this,
606
00:23:30,146 --> 00:23:32,318
we have four pieces
and we were...
607
00:23:32,318 --> 00:23:33,905
- Yeah.
- ...a third of the way
up that wall.
608
00:23:33,905 --> 00:23:36,491
- We've got way more
than we need here.
- Yeah.
609
00:23:36,491 --> 00:23:38,008
Do you think we've got enough
to do the gable?
610
00:23:38,008 --> 00:23:40,387
I mean, I'm really thinking
that we might have enough.
611
00:23:40,387 --> 00:23:42,767
That would make
Jenny Marrs so happy.
612
00:23:42,767 --> 00:23:45,698
If we could start
the log here
613
00:23:46,939 --> 00:23:50,111
and then go up.
I've got a cedar gable vent.
614
00:23:50,111 --> 00:23:52,111
Make a real big
statement piece up here
615
00:23:52,111 --> 00:23:53,284
on the front side
of the house.
616
00:23:53,284 --> 00:23:55,732
Uh, the great part
is we've already
got the material.
617
00:23:55,732 --> 00:23:57,939
- It's here.
- Let's go for it.
Let's go for it.
618
00:23:59,456 --> 00:24:00,456
What do you think?
619
00:24:00,456 --> 00:24:02,180
Oh, my gosh. Look!
620
00:24:02,180 --> 00:24:05,111
- Look at the living room.
It looks so good!
- Right!
621
00:24:05,663 --> 00:24:06,560
I love it.
622
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,180
Oh, look at the floor!
623
00:24:08,180 --> 00:24:09,456
Okay. You wanna
see the kitchen real quick?
624
00:24:09,456 --> 00:24:11,180
Yeah. Do you know
what I like
about this kitchen?
625
00:24:11,870 --> 00:24:12,905
I can see the lake.
626
00:24:12,905 --> 00:24:14,801
I know. And now,
look how open it is now.
627
00:24:14,801 --> 00:24:16,422
It really is nice.
628
00:24:16,422 --> 00:24:19,456
Built-in fridge.
A little counter space.
629
00:24:20,456 --> 00:24:21,974
- Pantry.
- Pizza oven.
630
00:24:21,974 --> 00:24:24,180
- Pizza oven?
- Pizza oven.
631
00:24:24,180 --> 00:24:26,284
The Elleman's really wanted
a special kitchen here.
632
00:24:26,284 --> 00:24:28,732
They love to have
friends and family
up here at the lake.
633
00:24:28,732 --> 00:24:29,870
They love to cook.
634
00:24:29,870 --> 00:24:31,318
I also know they love fire.
635
00:24:31,318 --> 00:24:34,008
They love the fireplace.
They love the fire pit
out back.
636
00:24:34,008 --> 00:24:37,284
- So we're gonna give them
a wood-burning...
- More fire.
637
00:24:37,284 --> 00:24:39,491
Yeah, pizza oven
in their kitchen.
638
00:24:39,491 --> 00:24:41,629
They are going to love it.
639
00:24:41,629 --> 00:24:45,387
Crews get to work
setting block in the kitchen
for the new pizza oven.
640
00:24:45,387 --> 00:24:49,456
Drywall's going up in all
the reconfigured spaces.
641
00:24:49,456 --> 00:24:52,594
And a calming
water-like tile goes up
in the new main bathroom.
642
00:24:54,043 --> 00:24:56,732
Back outside,
we're putting up
the split log siding
643
00:24:56,732 --> 00:24:58,698
with plenty to spare
for the garage.
644
00:25:05,525 --> 00:25:07,249
Hey, buddy,
did you see the new baby?
645
00:25:08,456 --> 00:25:10,111
We've been working hard
on the Elleman's house,
646
00:25:10,111 --> 00:25:12,663
but that doesn't mean
everything back home
just... just stops, right?
647
00:25:12,663 --> 00:25:16,111
So, um, this morning,
we had a very exciting event.
648
00:25:16,111 --> 00:25:19,043
It always is exciting
when we have
a baby sheep born.
649
00:25:19,043 --> 00:25:23,491
And we've never had
a baby born that's solid black
without any spotting.
650
00:25:23,491 --> 00:25:26,698
So, she is a solid
baby doll black sheep.
651
00:25:26,698 --> 00:25:28,629
And it's also so teeny-tiny.
652
00:25:28,629 --> 00:25:29,629
- So cute.
- Mmm-hmm, cute.
653
00:25:31,525 --> 00:25:34,491
And just when...
Mom, whenever you're coming
we're like, "Maa!"
654
00:25:34,491 --> 00:25:36,215
- I know.
- It said, "Maa."
655
00:25:36,215 --> 00:25:38,525
Oh, she's so cute.
656
00:25:38,525 --> 00:25:41,525
I got to get her in the barn
to dry off, babe.
657
00:25:41,525 --> 00:25:44,456
She's saying "Maa"!
658
00:25:44,456 --> 00:25:46,249
Charlotte, what are we gonna
name her?
659
00:25:47,801 --> 00:25:48,939
It's a girl, right?
Did you check?
660
00:25:48,939 --> 00:25:51,111
- Layla. Mmm-hmm.
- Oh, Layla. Okay.
661
00:25:51,111 --> 00:25:53,077
- Aw.
- Because she likes
to lay down a lot.
662
00:25:57,801 --> 00:26:00,939
- Whoa!
- Yeah! Are you excited?
663
00:26:00,939 --> 00:26:03,111
- I love it.
- We had enough.
664
00:26:03,111 --> 00:26:05,180
I had that vent in the shop.
665
00:26:05,180 --> 00:26:07,077
And, look,
you squared off the garage.
666
00:26:07,077 --> 00:26:09,663
I love the cedar posts.
667
00:26:09,663 --> 00:26:13,249
Pulling up to the surprise
of the split log siding
on the garage was amazing,
668
00:26:13,249 --> 00:26:14,870
and it's just the start.
669
00:26:14,870 --> 00:26:16,456
The cabinets have arrived,
670
00:26:16,456 --> 00:26:19,870
giving the Elleman's
plenty of storage
and a classic Shaker style.
671
00:26:19,870 --> 00:26:23,422
We're also covering
the newly vaulted ceiling
with pine planks
672
00:26:23,422 --> 00:26:24,732
for that lodgy feel...
673
00:26:26,318 --> 00:26:29,077
...with similar wood planks
on the kitchen walls
and the vent hood.
674
00:26:29,077 --> 00:26:33,180
And I have an idea
to make the new bedroom
feel like a treehouse escape.
675
00:26:33,180 --> 00:26:34,180
Look out here.
676
00:26:35,008 --> 00:26:36,353
What do you see
out these windows?
677
00:26:36,353 --> 00:26:37,422
Tons of green.
678
00:26:37,422 --> 00:26:38,974
- Trees. It's beautiful.
- Mmm-hmm.
679
00:26:38,974 --> 00:26:41,560
Like, you're just
in the treehouse now, right?
680
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,560
So, I thought this room
needs something cool.
681
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,836
We need to make it feel
682
00:26:46,836 --> 00:26:48,974
- like it's the treehouse,
right?
- Okay.
683
00:26:48,974 --> 00:26:51,215
- So I got some wallpaper.
- Fun.
684
00:26:51,215 --> 00:26:55,456
It's gonna look like
trees are growing in the room.
685
00:26:55,456 --> 00:26:57,215
All right.
So, here's my other idea.
686
00:26:57,215 --> 00:26:59,939
Remember when we did
the walkthrough at the house
with Allyn and Aaron...
687
00:26:59,939 --> 00:27:02,698
- Yeah.
- ...and Allyn was telling us
the story about
688
00:27:02,698 --> 00:27:05,491
- her mom's love
of pileated woodpeckers.
- Yeah.
689
00:27:05,491 --> 00:27:07,353
So, what if I have
a local artist come in
690
00:27:08,215 --> 00:27:10,836
and add just small details.
691
00:27:10,836 --> 00:27:13,353
We draw in
a little woodpecker,
hidden in there.
692
00:27:13,353 --> 00:27:15,594
I think it needs to be
really subtle.
693
00:27:15,594 --> 00:27:16,870
I mean, I probably
don't need the artist.
694
00:27:16,870 --> 00:27:18,698
I could do it myself.
695
00:27:18,698 --> 00:27:21,215
Why not just find wallpaper
with a woodpecker on it?
696
00:27:21,215 --> 00:27:23,663
- Because I don't really know
if that's available.
- That's a little too, like,
697
00:27:23,663 --> 00:27:25,008
- five-year-old kid.
- Yeah.
698
00:27:25,008 --> 00:27:26,732
- Okay.
- So, we need a really nice,
699
00:27:26,732 --> 00:27:29,974
kind of sophisticated,
calming, soothing scene.
700
00:27:29,974 --> 00:27:32,456
And then I'm gonna have
a local artist come in,
701
00:27:32,456 --> 00:27:34,732
and it's gonna match
the colors of the wallpaper.
702
00:27:35,594 --> 00:27:36,939
Yeah, it could be cool.
703
00:27:36,939 --> 00:27:38,387
- Yeah, it's just basically...
- It's a big risk because...
704
00:27:38,387 --> 00:27:39,594
- It is.
- ...because if it goes wrong,
705
00:27:39,594 --> 00:27:41,836
- you have to rip
the wallpaper off.
- I know.
706
00:27:41,836 --> 00:27:43,387
Can you tell
that's a woodpecker?
707
00:27:43,387 --> 00:27:44,629
No, not at all.
708
00:27:44,629 --> 00:27:46,594
See,
that's the woodpecker's hair,
right there.
709
00:27:46,594 --> 00:27:47,491
Okay.
710
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,939
- All right, Chase.
- What's happening?
711
00:27:53,939 --> 00:27:55,491
- Got the posts.
- Okay.
712
00:27:55,491 --> 00:27:57,215
I have all this prep.
713
00:27:57,215 --> 00:28:00,146
We have got
to make this deck safe.
714
00:28:00,146 --> 00:28:02,146
We gotta get
the glass handrailing in.
715
00:28:02,146 --> 00:28:04,215
Look at this.
You're gonna have this view.
716
00:28:05,249 --> 00:28:07,043
Don't look at me.
Look out there.
717
00:28:07,043 --> 00:28:09,318
This is definitely
the better view
of the two, but...
718
00:28:12,146 --> 00:28:13,456
- Dude.
- All right. Get those put on,
719
00:28:13,456 --> 00:28:14,870
and then I'll go grab
the glass panels.
720
00:28:14,870 --> 00:28:16,077
It's like we know
what we're doing.
721
00:28:16,077 --> 00:28:17,284
Come on, man,
722
00:28:17,284 --> 00:28:18,456
this isn't our first rodeo.
723
00:28:24,594 --> 00:28:25,491
Oh.
724
00:28:26,284 --> 00:28:27,077
Argh.
725
00:28:28,008 --> 00:28:29,801
May have screwed that one up.
726
00:28:29,801 --> 00:28:32,284
- Did you?
- Oh, the bottom rail
was inside of it.
727
00:28:36,180 --> 00:28:37,353
What did you do to this?
728
00:28:37,353 --> 00:28:39,560
If it's the last thing we do,
we're gonna get this.
729
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,732
Phew. Measured that one.
730
00:28:41,732 --> 00:28:43,767
- Let's go.
- Oh, my glasses!
731
00:28:43,767 --> 00:28:46,249
Oh, we're so dumb.
732
00:28:46,249 --> 00:28:48,111
All right,
get me the rail.
Let's do this thing.
733
00:28:49,594 --> 00:28:50,801
Right.
734
00:28:50,801 --> 00:28:53,146
- Wait a minute.
- That is wrong.
735
00:28:53,146 --> 00:28:55,284
What size is that one?
Is that 42?
736
00:28:55,284 --> 00:28:57,456
It said 35 and seven-eighths,
I thought.
737
00:28:57,456 --> 00:28:58,836
Hold, please.
738
00:28:59,905 --> 00:29:01,939
Must be 35
and seven-eighths tall.
739
00:29:03,111 --> 00:29:06,905
- Okay. What happened here?
- I don't know.
740
00:29:06,905 --> 00:29:10,836
Well, this is tempered glass
so there is no cutting
this glass.
741
00:29:10,836 --> 00:29:13,560
All right,
I got to go see
if we have the right stuff.
742
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,353
If we've got to
reorder all this glass...
No bueno.
743
00:29:16,353 --> 00:29:17,663
There's no way
it will get done in time.
744
00:29:20,663 --> 00:29:22,249
I really do love this house.
745
00:29:22,249 --> 00:29:27,801
This charming, cozy
cabin in the woods is a win.
746
00:29:27,801 --> 00:29:29,939
- Oh, my gosh.
- Oh, my God.
747
00:29:29,939 --> 00:29:31,111
It's going to
make me cry.
748
00:29:39,353 --> 00:29:41,422
- What happened here?
- I don't know.
749
00:29:41,422 --> 00:29:43,525
All right,
I got to go see
if we have the right stuff.
750
00:29:43,525 --> 00:29:46,594
If we've got to
reorder all this glass,
no bueno.
751
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,836
Whoo, all right, Chase.
They're all different sizes
752
00:29:51,836 --> 00:29:53,146
and the one we needed
was in the back.
753
00:29:54,318 --> 00:29:56,870
Hopefully we need
a bunch more 42 inch panels.
754
00:29:56,870 --> 00:29:58,422
I did see
the 35 and seven-eighths,
755
00:29:58,422 --> 00:30:00,456
- I just did not--
- You didn't read past that.
756
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,111
- You got it?
- Yep.
757
00:30:04,629 --> 00:30:06,284
- It's good?
- Yep, I'm in.
758
00:30:07,629 --> 00:30:10,456
- You good?
- Yeah.
759
00:30:10,456 --> 00:30:12,491
- You in? You like it?
- Yeah, I like it.
760
00:30:12,491 --> 00:30:15,698
Now we just got to
get the rest of the materials
and finish.
761
00:30:19,594 --> 00:30:22,456
I got
the rubber blocks,
we'll set those in.
762
00:30:22,456 --> 00:30:26,077
- Ooh, look at this.
- Making magic.
763
00:30:26,077 --> 00:30:27,698
It looks good.
764
00:30:27,698 --> 00:30:31,077
I love the cedar, too.
Look at this, how pretty
it is right now.
765
00:30:31,077 --> 00:30:34,284
It's so bright and green.
I love it.
766
00:30:34,284 --> 00:30:36,077
And it's safe.
That's the most
important thing.
767
00:30:36,077 --> 00:30:38,456
Yeah. It's really like
we're in a treehouse now.
768
00:30:40,525 --> 00:30:41,801
Dave and Chase
have a busy afternoon
769
00:30:41,801 --> 00:30:43,870
installing the driftwood handrail.
770
00:30:43,870 --> 00:30:47,284
Look at that!
That is pretty cool.
771
00:30:47,284 --> 00:30:49,491
and putting together
the new pizza oven.
772
00:30:49,491 --> 00:30:51,767
My gosh, this is awesome.
Look at this thing.
773
00:30:51,767 --> 00:30:53,043
So then
there should be a door.
774
00:30:53,043 --> 00:30:54,767
- This is it. Wait for it.
- I'm waiting.
775
00:30:54,767 --> 00:30:58,594
- Oh, it's so cute.
- What do you think of that?
776
00:30:58,594 --> 00:31:01,594
I just really think Allyn
and Aaron are going to
love this.
777
00:31:01,594 --> 00:31:04,422
What is more fun
than pizza night?
778
00:31:04,422 --> 00:31:06,663
- Make your own pizzas--
- At the lake.
779
00:31:06,663 --> 00:31:08,767
...at the lake.
They have teenagers
780
00:31:08,767 --> 00:31:10,939
and you know teenagers
don't like to hang out
with their parents...
781
00:31:10,939 --> 00:31:12,111
- No.
- ...historically.
782
00:31:12,111 --> 00:31:14,939
However,
they now have a pizza oven
783
00:31:14,939 --> 00:31:16,456
so they're going to
want to hang out
with their parents.
784
00:31:16,456 --> 00:31:18,836
- We're buying the kids over.
- We're buying the kids.
785
00:31:18,836 --> 00:31:20,560
- We're buying their love.
- We're buying their love.
786
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:21,801
- I respect that.
- I'm not above it.
787
00:31:26,767 --> 00:31:28,870
Jenny,
you got to get in here
and lay some of this.
788
00:31:28,870 --> 00:31:29,939
I will.
789
00:31:29,939 --> 00:31:33,146
- I love this stone fireplace.
- Me too.
790
00:31:33,146 --> 00:31:34,801
- It's so cool.
- So cool.
791
00:31:34,801 --> 00:31:36,801
And it's just
going to get better.
792
00:31:36,801 --> 00:31:38,698
I was worried about it
'cause it's just
half the stone.
793
00:31:38,698 --> 00:31:39,939
I was worried
if it would look real.
794
00:31:39,939 --> 00:31:41,801
No, it's amazing.
It looks so good,
795
00:31:41,801 --> 00:31:44,698
how these
kind of cover up the brick
so you can't even see it.
796
00:31:44,698 --> 00:31:46,491
I think
we just leave this open.
797
00:31:46,491 --> 00:31:48,836
- I agree. It looks so good.
- You know? Yeah.
798
00:31:48,836 --> 00:31:51,939
When we get
that mantel on there, Jenny.
It's going to be perfect.
799
00:31:51,939 --> 00:31:55,629
- Yeah, I think
like that, yeah.
- Mmm-hmm.
800
00:31:55,629 --> 00:31:59,905
There we go.
801
00:32:08,939 --> 00:32:14,043
All right, so this driftwood
is going to be the mantel
for the Elleman's fireplace.
802
00:32:14,043 --> 00:32:17,560
I'm going to have to take
just a little bit
of the bottom off
803
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,422
so I can then flip it over
and get the top side,
804
00:32:20,422 --> 00:32:22,870
which is going to be
this right here, flat.
805
00:32:25,353 --> 00:32:28,836
Run this through
the rest of the way,
take off just that edge.
806
00:32:35,905 --> 00:32:39,870
Man, look at that grain.
It's going to be beautiful.
807
00:32:39,870 --> 00:32:43,836
All right, so this
will then become my back.
808
00:32:43,836 --> 00:32:46,629
Front is rounded
and at the end of the day,
809
00:32:46,629 --> 00:32:48,663
this right here
is what they're going to see
810
00:32:48,663 --> 00:32:50,043
when they
walk into their home.
811
00:32:50,043 --> 00:32:52,629
If that is not
bringing the outside in,
I don't know what is.
812
00:32:54,043 --> 00:32:55,077
Aaron's going to love it.
813
00:33:00,284 --> 00:33:02,043
The driftwood mantel
is finished
814
00:33:02,043 --> 00:33:04,939
and it looks perfect
against the new fireplace.
815
00:33:04,939 --> 00:33:06,353
Dark, honed granite countertops
816
00:33:06,353 --> 00:33:08,974
compliment the hunter green cabinets.
817
00:33:08,974 --> 00:33:12,560
Landscaping crews
have started to level out
the backyard
818
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,836
and we're building
a relaxation corner
where we can hang hammocks.
819
00:33:16,836 --> 00:33:20,043
The muted tree wallpaper
is going up in the bedroom,
820
00:33:20,043 --> 00:33:21,974
while I meet with someone
who's a little better
821
00:33:21,974 --> 00:33:23,387
at painting woodpeckers
than I am.
822
00:33:23,387 --> 00:33:25,939
- Hi.
- Hi. How's it going?
823
00:33:25,939 --> 00:33:28,008
- Okay, you must be Michelle.
- Yes. Nice to meet you.
824
00:33:28,008 --> 00:33:29,663
Nice to meet you.
825
00:33:29,663 --> 00:33:32,698
So, I'm here to meet with
a local artist
826
00:33:32,698 --> 00:33:36,249
that I've been emailing with,
that I've shared the story
of the pileated woodpecker,
827
00:33:36,249 --> 00:33:38,318
I've shared
a sample of the wallpaper
828
00:33:38,318 --> 00:33:41,215
and I'm hoping that she can
kind of take this idea
829
00:33:41,215 --> 00:33:44,318
and make it come to life
because I am actually
kind of worried
830
00:33:44,318 --> 00:33:47,008
about having
this really beautiful,
831
00:33:47,008 --> 00:33:53,905
muted, sepia-toned wallpaper
and then having a woodpecker
painted onto it
832
00:33:53,905 --> 00:33:55,732
because a woodpecker
has bright red hair.
833
00:33:55,732 --> 00:33:58,249
- Yeah, so I've got a few
paintings I made.
- Okay.
834
00:33:58,249 --> 00:34:01,353
This is
obviously the original color
of the woodpecker,
835
00:34:01,353 --> 00:34:04,525
but because of this palette,
I really wanted to go
with more muted tones.
836
00:34:04,525 --> 00:34:06,422
- Yes.
- So we still
have the same structure
837
00:34:06,422 --> 00:34:08,698
- but it's sepia tone.
- So, that's another one.
838
00:34:08,698 --> 00:34:10,284
- That's another option.
- Love that.
839
00:34:10,284 --> 00:34:14,215
- Obviously, I think the red
might be a little too much.
- Yeah.
840
00:34:14,215 --> 00:34:16,663
I mean...
How can we mute it
with the red? I don't know.
841
00:34:16,663 --> 00:34:19,870
So, we've got some, like,
burnt sienna, instead.
842
00:34:19,870 --> 00:34:22,836
- Mmm-hmm.
- So, we've got, like,
this color
843
00:34:22,836 --> 00:34:24,905
- and we mix some of these--
- Oh, that's nice.
Yeah, that's better.
844
00:34:24,905 --> 00:34:27,043
- ...these together.
- and you'll still
be able to tell
845
00:34:27,043 --> 00:34:28,698
- that it's a woodpecker.
- Yeah, exactly.
846
00:34:28,698 --> 00:34:30,698
...it's just
in the glow of dusk.
847
00:34:30,698 --> 00:34:34,249
Are you thinking you'll come
after this is installed
848
00:34:34,249 --> 00:34:36,560
and just paint
right on the wallpaper?
849
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,491
Yeah, acrylic
will be good for that
850
00:34:38,491 --> 00:34:41,111
and I will do dry brush
so it won't be any water--
851
00:34:41,111 --> 00:34:44,387
- Okay, yes. Perfect.
- So that we don't
have to worry.
852
00:34:44,387 --> 00:34:46,146
- I'm looking forward to it.
- Yeah, me too. Thank you.
853
00:34:46,146 --> 00:34:48,456
And I know this is going to be
really special for Aaron
and Allyn
854
00:34:48,456 --> 00:34:49,594
so that's what's important.
855
00:34:49,594 --> 00:34:51,870
Do you want to keep this
and that way you can practice?
856
00:34:51,870 --> 00:34:53,629
That would be great
and I'd love to have
some of your artwork.
857
00:34:53,629 --> 00:34:55,422
Well, yes, thank you.
let me know if you need me
to sign it.
858
00:34:55,422 --> 00:34:56,974
- Okay.
- Okay.
859
00:35:02,043 --> 00:35:03,870
The Elleman's house
has been transformed
860
00:35:03,870 --> 00:35:06,249
with forest green paint
on the brick
861
00:35:06,249 --> 00:35:09,043
and light stain
on the split log siding.
862
00:35:09,043 --> 00:35:11,491
Michelle is painting
the woodpeckers
on the wallpaper,
863
00:35:11,491 --> 00:35:14,215
while finishing touches
take place in the kitchen,
864
00:35:14,215 --> 00:35:18,180
bathroom,
and especially the yard,
865
00:35:18,180 --> 00:35:19,767
back and front.
866
00:35:25,456 --> 00:35:26,836
- Jen?
- Yeah?
867
00:35:26,836 --> 00:35:30,111
- How goes it?
- Look. Look at the mantel.
868
00:35:30,111 --> 00:35:32,353
- It looks so cool.
- Doesn't it look so good?
869
00:35:32,353 --> 00:35:34,629
- I really do love this house.
- I do, too.
870
00:35:34,629 --> 00:35:35,974
This is one that I was
really excited about.
871
00:35:35,974 --> 00:35:38,525
I loved being able
to take a house
872
00:35:38,525 --> 00:35:40,284
that really didn't
have much of an identity.
873
00:35:40,284 --> 00:35:42,905
What do you think
of this last piece
of driftwood?
874
00:35:42,905 --> 00:35:46,456
- We definitely have
a driftwood theme going on.
- Yes we do.
875
00:35:46,456 --> 00:35:51,422
But we just really gave it
this charming, cozy
876
00:35:51,422 --> 00:35:55,974
cabin in the woods feel
and it's very serene
in there...
877
00:35:55,974 --> 00:35:57,318
- Yeah.
- ...and very warm
878
00:35:57,318 --> 00:36:00,870
and then, of course,
outside is just this
amazing space
879
00:36:00,870 --> 00:36:02,836
that they can use,
the can invite friends over,
880
00:36:02,836 --> 00:36:05,215
they can have
their family here.
It's a win.
881
00:36:05,215 --> 00:36:07,318
- All right, we got to go.
- Okay, all right, did you
hang the flag?
882
00:36:07,318 --> 00:36:09,043
- No, I got to put that up.
- Oh, gosh. Let's go.
883
00:36:12,353 --> 00:36:13,801
Let's go, baby.
884
00:36:15,698 --> 00:36:17,594
Stomach is, like,
in my throat.
885
00:36:17,594 --> 00:36:20,146
Really going to be
when you turn the corner
up here.
886
00:36:20,146 --> 00:36:22,870
Forever house, here we come.
887
00:36:22,870 --> 00:36:24,939
- Oh, my gosh.
- That's amazing.
888
00:36:24,939 --> 00:36:27,318
- Oh!
- Oh, my gosh. That's them.
889
00:36:28,974 --> 00:36:30,767
- Wow.
- Oh, my gosh.
890
00:36:36,111 --> 00:36:37,422
Oh, my gosh.
That's them.
891
00:36:39,180 --> 00:36:40,836
- Wow.
- Oh, my gosh.
892
00:36:40,836 --> 00:36:43,422
- Hello.
- Hello, how are you?
893
00:36:43,422 --> 00:36:45,215
- So good.
- Oh, that wood!
894
00:36:45,215 --> 00:36:47,111
- You like it?
- I love it.
895
00:36:47,111 --> 00:36:51,594
- A little different.
- Wow, I love the color
of the brick and the wood.
896
00:36:51,594 --> 00:36:53,284
- Oh,
the wood is just perfect.
- Oh, yay.
897
00:36:53,284 --> 00:36:54,974
So, we talked about
making this feel like
898
00:36:54,974 --> 00:36:57,077
a cabin and treehouse
in the woods and--
899
00:36:57,077 --> 00:36:59,111
- Yeah.
- ...and we replaced
the old siding,
900
00:36:59,111 --> 00:37:01,594
which actually
needed replacing
901
00:37:01,594 --> 00:37:04,456
and really,
it just feels like it belongs.
902
00:37:04,456 --> 00:37:06,387
- We're going to be
front porch sitters.
- Yay.
903
00:37:06,387 --> 00:37:07,974
- Yes, I love it.
- Until we see
the back porch,
904
00:37:07,974 --> 00:37:09,043
then we'll probably
change our mind.
905
00:37:09,043 --> 00:37:10,318
Yeah, you actually might.
906
00:37:10,318 --> 00:37:11,629
- You actually might.
- I think it's time.
907
00:37:11,629 --> 00:37:12,974
- Let's go, come on.
- We got to go show you
your house.
908
00:37:12,974 --> 00:37:14,387
Let's go, go, go.
909
00:37:14,387 --> 00:37:16,663
- Wow.
- Oh, my gosh.
910
00:37:16,663 --> 00:37:17,801
Oh, my gosh.
911
00:37:17,801 --> 00:37:22,249
- Look how cool.
- That is amazing.
912
00:37:22,249 --> 00:37:24,387
Did you guys notice this?
Look at this.
913
00:37:24,387 --> 00:37:25,663
- Wow.
- Oh, the door--
914
00:37:25,663 --> 00:37:28,008
- To protect you from...
- It's like self-protective
measure.
915
00:37:28,008 --> 00:37:29,698
- Yes!
- That's so great.
916
00:37:29,698 --> 00:37:32,284
- Look how cool this is.
- I love the driftwood,
that is amazing.
917
00:37:32,284 --> 00:37:33,698
- Yes, you noticed.
- I love it.
918
00:37:33,698 --> 00:37:35,249
Well, we went out
on the lake
919
00:37:35,249 --> 00:37:36,767
and found a bunch of driftwood
920
00:37:36,767 --> 00:37:38,525
- 'cause we know how much
you love driftwood.
- Oh, yeah.
921
00:37:38,525 --> 00:37:41,594
So, Dave actually
made this handrail
922
00:37:41,594 --> 00:37:43,767
out of driftwood
that we found out on the lake.
923
00:37:43,767 --> 00:37:44,870
So, let's go into
the living room.
924
00:37:44,870 --> 00:37:46,491
Go to the living room
and turn right.
925
00:37:46,491 --> 00:37:48,629
- This ceiling, Al.
- Oh, my goodness.
926
00:37:48,629 --> 00:37:49,905
No.
927
00:37:49,905 --> 00:37:51,905
Look at the fireplace.
928
00:37:51,905 --> 00:37:53,284
This is insane.
929
00:37:55,215 --> 00:37:58,974
I love it.
Oh, my goodness.
930
00:37:58,974 --> 00:38:02,249
The ceiling
is amazing.
931
00:38:02,249 --> 00:38:04,249
It makes it feel
so much lighter
and airier.
932
00:38:04,249 --> 00:38:06,456
- I know.
- And bigger.
933
00:38:06,456 --> 00:38:07,870
- Yes.
- It does.
934
00:38:07,870 --> 00:38:09,594
- But still cozy.
- It's like
a different house.
935
00:38:09,594 --> 00:38:12,456
I love the rock.
That's amazing.
936
00:38:12,456 --> 00:38:15,698
Isn't it beautiful?
And we really wanted this
to just feel like a cozy cabin
937
00:38:15,698 --> 00:38:18,870
and have some identity
like that and I think
this fireplace
938
00:38:18,870 --> 00:38:21,146
set the tone
for the entire space
939
00:38:21,146 --> 00:38:24,215
and we actually found this.
It was a big...
940
00:38:24,215 --> 00:38:25,387
- Log.
- Just a log
941
00:38:25,387 --> 00:38:26,905
that we found washed up
on the shore.
942
00:38:26,905 --> 00:38:28,939
- Are you serious?
- Isn't it cool how you can
find amazing pieces of wood?
943
00:38:28,939 --> 00:38:30,146
Yes!
944
00:38:30,146 --> 00:38:33,111
I think you're going to see,
like, wood and fire and...
945
00:38:33,111 --> 00:38:34,318
- it's a theme.
- Trees.
946
00:38:36,767 --> 00:38:40,594
We have a dining space here
that is functional
947
00:38:40,594 --> 00:38:42,387
and it makes the...
It breaks this room up
948
00:38:42,387 --> 00:38:44,387
so that you have, you know,
living and dining.
949
00:38:44,387 --> 00:38:46,663
- We love
the round table.
- Ah, it's perfect.
950
00:38:46,663 --> 00:38:48,387
So, we took out
this giant wall
951
00:38:48,387 --> 00:38:51,629
so then you could
see out to the lake
and go check out your kitchen.
952
00:38:51,629 --> 00:38:54,491
- You got to take a look at it.
- The kitchen, awesome. Oh!
953
00:38:54,491 --> 00:38:56,663
- A little different.
- Oh, my goodness.
954
00:39:00,111 --> 00:39:02,767
- I... Oh, my. Look at this!
What is that?
- Wow!
955
00:39:02,767 --> 00:39:06,594
- It's a pizza oven.
- A wood-burning
pizza oven!
956
00:39:06,594 --> 00:39:08,422
- No way!
- Look at this.
957
00:39:08,422 --> 00:39:09,629
- More fire!
- How fun is that?
958
00:39:09,629 --> 00:39:11,594
- More fire. No way!
- More fire.
959
00:39:11,594 --> 00:39:15,353
So, you build a fire in there.
It's got nits own chimney
up through the roof,
960
00:39:15,353 --> 00:39:17,594
- all concrete around it.
- Oh, my gosh.
961
00:39:17,594 --> 00:39:19,077
What other lake house
has a pizza oven?
962
00:39:19,077 --> 00:39:20,353
- Not many. Not any.
I don't know.
- Not many.
963
00:39:20,353 --> 00:39:22,180
- I've never seen one.
- I know!
964
00:39:22,180 --> 00:39:24,939
And the stone ties in
with your stone fireplace.
965
00:39:24,939 --> 00:39:27,663
Oh, my gosh!
Now that is definitely
cozy cabin in the woods.
966
00:39:27,663 --> 00:39:28,732
- Right?
- Yes!
967
00:39:28,732 --> 00:39:29,870
I love that.
968
00:39:32,249 --> 00:39:36,284
The color is perfect.
It's what I had envisioned
in my head,
969
00:39:36,284 --> 00:39:38,215
but I don't know how
you've gotten in my head
so well
970
00:39:38,215 --> 00:39:40,491
- but you're doing
a great job.
- Oh, good.
971
00:39:40,491 --> 00:39:43,974
- Look at how many
drawers and cabinets.
- Oh, my gosh. So much storage.
972
00:39:43,974 --> 00:39:47,456
And we did the walls
with the wood
973
00:39:47,456 --> 00:39:49,318
and the green, again,
like we did outside,
974
00:39:49,318 --> 00:39:51,974
where it just
really feels like
a cabin in the woods.
975
00:39:51,974 --> 00:39:54,353
It's reflective
of what's going on outside,
976
00:39:54,353 --> 00:39:56,594
like the stone,
all of these natural elements.
977
00:39:56,594 --> 00:39:58,284
We haven't even talked
about the floors,
978
00:39:58,284 --> 00:39:59,594
but I love the color
of the floors.
979
00:39:59,594 --> 00:40:01,043
- Yes, oh, yes!
- Oh, I know. I do, too.
980
00:40:01,043 --> 00:40:02,387
Didn't they turn out cool?
- Absolutely perfect.
981
00:40:02,387 --> 00:40:05,077
And I love that
we can be in the kitchen
but still see everybody
982
00:40:05,077 --> 00:40:06,353
- in the living room.
- Right.
983
00:40:06,353 --> 00:40:08,353
- You can even see outside.
- I know.
984
00:40:08,353 --> 00:40:12,560
We took your old dining room,
but we gave you something
way better.
985
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:13,629
Go ahead, yes.
986
00:40:16,318 --> 00:40:18,249
Oh. Oh.
987
00:40:20,732 --> 00:40:22,939
- Oh. It's the bird
in the tree.
- Wow.
988
00:40:22,939 --> 00:40:26,249
- That is so cool.
- That is
really special, you guys.
989
00:40:26,249 --> 00:40:28,284
That's going to
make me cry.
990
00:40:28,284 --> 00:40:30,008
- It is the bird in the tree.
- It's looking over us.
991
00:40:30,008 --> 00:40:32,974
- Oh, thank you.
- You're welcome.
992
00:40:32,974 --> 00:40:35,801
- That is amazing.
- This is gorgeous.
993
00:40:38,525 --> 00:40:40,215
- I'm so glad you noticed it.
- She saw it right when
we walked in.
994
00:40:40,215 --> 00:40:42,422
- I know, I'm so glad.
- I think my mom
would love this.
995
00:40:42,422 --> 00:40:44,043
- Thank you.
- Oh, I'm so glad.
You're welcome.
996
00:40:44,043 --> 00:40:46,698
I love this
and I hope you like it
997
00:40:46,698 --> 00:40:48,491
because it feels like,
really, an escape.
998
00:40:48,491 --> 00:40:51,008
- Like a true retreat.
- It does. It does.
999
00:40:51,008 --> 00:40:52,422
- Because you have this--
- It's a bird's nest,
1000
00:40:52,422 --> 00:40:53,974
- it really is like
a little bird's nest.
- I know.
1001
00:40:53,974 --> 00:40:55,215
- Colors
are muted enough--
- Yes.
1002
00:40:55,215 --> 00:40:57,077
...and it just
makes it, like, soothing.
1003
00:40:57,077 --> 00:40:58,456
Yes, yes! Good.
1004
00:40:58,456 --> 00:41:00,801
All right.
Go check out your bathroom.
1005
00:41:00,801 --> 00:41:02,043
- Wow.
- Okay.
1006
00:41:05,836 --> 00:41:07,939
Oh, my gosh. Oh, this is cool.
1007
00:41:07,939 --> 00:41:09,594
Look at
the big shower.
1008
00:41:11,663 --> 00:41:13,663
That's amazing.
1009
00:41:13,663 --> 00:41:15,008
- I love it.
- That's gorgeous.
1010
00:41:15,008 --> 00:41:17,077
I love how the little rocks
tie in with the...
1011
00:41:17,077 --> 00:41:18,594
- I know, I know.
- Yes.
1012
00:41:18,594 --> 00:41:20,387
Think what this was,
a random--
1013
00:41:20,387 --> 00:41:22,905
- Laundry room.
- ...laundry room.
Wasted space.
1014
00:41:22,905 --> 00:41:25,974
- Yep.
- All right. Get out of there.
1015
00:41:25,974 --> 00:41:28,594
- We got a final space.
- Come on, let's go out back.
1016
00:41:28,594 --> 00:41:30,732
- You guys go on.
- Go ahead.
1017
00:41:30,732 --> 00:41:32,560
- I'm super excited.
- Wow.
1018
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:37,249
- Oh, my gosh.
- I love the glass.
You can see through.
1019
00:41:37,249 --> 00:41:39,077
- That firepit
is amazing.
- Wow.
1020
00:41:39,077 --> 00:41:41,525
- Isn't that so cool?
- It's so cool!
1021
00:41:41,525 --> 00:41:44,077
- This is fantastic.
- We were struggling
with, like,
1022
00:41:44,077 --> 00:41:45,870
something that blocks
your view and now...
1023
00:41:45,870 --> 00:41:47,905
- Such an improvement.
- How open it is.
1024
00:41:47,905 --> 00:41:49,905
I mean, well, you can
see through while
you're sitting down.
1025
00:41:49,905 --> 00:41:51,560
- That was a big deal.
- Yes, yes!
1026
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,422
You can
even see people
hanging out down below.
1027
00:41:54,422 --> 00:41:58,939
- That is amazing.
- Look at
these huge pavers.
1028
00:41:58,939 --> 00:42:00,387
- Those are awesome.
- Aren't these beautiful?
1029
00:42:00,387 --> 00:42:03,525
I love these.
All very, just, natural.
1030
00:42:03,525 --> 00:42:04,801
- That's cool.
- That's really cool.
1031
00:42:04,801 --> 00:42:07,456
I love how it just, like,
blends in right into the hill.
1032
00:42:07,456 --> 00:42:09,663
Take a step back
and look at that house.
1033
00:42:12,974 --> 00:42:16,215
- That is amazing.
- It's absolutely incredible.
1034
00:42:16,215 --> 00:42:18,663
- All right, I have to say
I think we nailed it.
- I agree.
1035
00:42:18,663 --> 00:42:23,525
This house
is exactly what
Allyn and Aaron wanted.
1036
00:42:23,525 --> 00:42:26,146
I mean, this is the life.
1037
00:42:26,146 --> 00:42:27,525
This is the life
right there.
1038
00:42:27,525 --> 00:42:31,180
- This is it.
- The mantel,
the fireplace, the stone,
1039
00:42:31,180 --> 00:42:34,043
the ceiling...
I just saying everything
I like about this house.
1040
00:42:34,043 --> 00:42:37,732
I love this house.
It really is just such
a really warm house.
1041
00:42:37,732 --> 00:42:39,594
- It is.
- I want to
live here. I love it.
1042
00:42:39,594 --> 00:42:41,077
- Hey, hey!
- Oh, my goodness.
1043
00:42:41,077 --> 00:42:43,111
- This is crazy.
- What?
1044
00:42:43,111 --> 00:42:45,146
It's literally
a dream come true,
1045
00:42:45,146 --> 00:42:46,525
like, we knew
that it had a lot
of potential,
1046
00:42:46,525 --> 00:42:48,905
but just to see the new flow
1047
00:42:48,905 --> 00:42:51,146
and different people
can hang out at the same time
1048
00:42:51,146 --> 00:42:53,732
in different locations,
it's absolutely perfect.
1049
00:42:53,732 --> 00:42:57,525
- Woah!
- We have a pizza oven.
1050
00:42:57,525 --> 00:43:01,249
I'm ready to make
some memories here
and some pizza.
1051
00:43:01,249 --> 00:43:03,111
I'm ready to eat some pizza.
1052
00:43:03,111 --> 00:43:05,043
- Think you could
sleep out here?
- Yes.
1053
00:43:05,043 --> 00:43:06,525
I could spend the night
out here.
