[Shay] My name is Shay Mooney.
I am a singer in a group called Dan And Shay.
His sister Gabby had a major health scare.
I had emergency brain surgery.
Thankfully, it was a miracle that she made a full recovery.
[Jenny] So, Shay's renovating their great grandmother's old property
as a gift to help with her healing journey.
Congrats, you're getting married.
We plan to have the wedding right here.
No pressure or anything.
[Jenny] We have worked on a lot of tight deadlines,
but we have never ever...
[hammering]
[Jenny] ...had a wedding as our deadline.
[Dave] We went to the wrong line, it's fallen off.
-[machine whirring] -[Dave] Whoo!
[Jenny] There's so much happening, it's so much pressure.
-[grunting] -Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
But it's good, it's exciting.
[Gabby gasps]
This is crazy!
Oh, my gosh, I'm gonna cry.
Are you kidding me right now?
[Gabby] This is unreal.
[Dave] It's a long drive.
It's beautiful though.
We are actually driving a lot further than normal.
From Bentonville to Natural Dam, Arkansas.
[Dave] It's about an hour and a half.
To meet Shay and his sister, Gabby, and her fiance, Gray.
-Hi! -[Gray] Well, hello!
[Jenny] Shay reached out to us about a project for Gabby,
who is moving back to Arkansas.
She's also engaged
-and she's going to be getting married soon. -[Dave] Yep.
[Jenny] And she's gonna be moving
into their great grandmother's home,
which is one of three structures on this property.
So, congratulations on--
[Jenny] Yes. Congrats!
-That's amazing. -Okay, you're getting married.
We plan to have the wedding right here.
We just want something small, easy.
We just want our family here.
But this house needs to be done
in time for the wedding, right?
-Yes. -Okay.
-Okay, we got-- -No pressure or anything.
No, really.
To have such a generous gift
with Shay doing this renovation as a wedding present.
Yes.
My name is Shay Mooney.
I am Gabby's brother.
I have been a singer in a group called Dan and Shay
for the last ten years,
and I've been having a blast with that.
My dad owns a construction company.
It's just kind of a family business.
So, this is my second passion.
And to be able to come together
and do something special
along with Dave and Jenny for our sister, Gabby, and Raylan
is just gonna be a really, really special thing for all of us.
Whoo!
I'm a singer-songwriter.
We met in Nashville in the gym late night
-'cause we're both super kind of-- -Weird.
[laughs] Yeah.
[Gray] Her friend came up to me.
-I was way too nervous to come up to her. -Yeah.
But when I saw her,
trucker hat on.
-Big baggy shirt. -She had a big baggy cut-off shirt.
I was like, "That's the one."
I knew it right then and there.
I found my guy and I moved to Arkansas with him.
[laughs]
[Dave] Let's check out your house.
[Shay] Let's do it.
[Gabby] We used to play pickup sticks outside the porch,
and my great grandma, Nobles,
she would always be canning stuff,
going and taking care of the cows.
Yes.
[Gabby] I think that's the kind of life I envisioned for myself.
The house was built in 1946,
and my great grandma Nobles lived here.
My mom's sisters had sold it when my grandma passed.
Later, when the house came up for sale,
my mom immediately snagged it.
[Jenny] Okay, this is the kitchen, huh?
[Dave] The original kitchen.
[Gabby] Yeah, the home has definitely not changed since the '60s.
As Gabby would say,
"We wanna keep Grandma in our hearts,
not necessarily in our cabinets."
-[laughs] Exactly. -So...
I remember growing up here
and coming to grandma Nobles' house,
and she would always have...
strawberry ice cream was kind of her treat.
So, this is the living room.
Oh, wow, it's big.
[Dave] Yeah, this is a really nice space.
We can make a main suite out of this.
[Shay] This was a place that was so special.
I feel so blessed to be in this position
to be able to help Gabby.
It just feels like one of those things
that was meant to be.
Also, we have this wonderful building over here
that is, I think, going to be an amazing in-law suite.
-Oh. -I think we can get that done fairly.
Quickly, a lot quicker than we could do the house.
And so, to have a place
-where she could be staying while this is being... -[Jenny] Oh, smart. Okay.
-...finished, I think would be awesome. -Yes.
'Cause you're staying at your parents right now.
-Right? -Yes, I am.
Which is awesome.
He's been dropping me off like I'm 16,
-to mom and dad. -[exclaims] Ah!
She's back home by 10:00 every night.
I love it.
-[Dave] So, should we go check that out real quick? -[Shay] Yes, we should.
Yes, let's go to the barn.
I didn't think I was going to move to Arkansas, to be honest.
But what changed everything for me,
and why my mouth is still numb... [laughs]
...is I had emergency brain surgery.
I had got a huge headache.
My mom found me a ambulance
that was able to take me to hospital.
For a moment, we just didn't know.
[sighs]
I didn't know if she would be around, you know?
It was just a miracle
that everything happened the way it did.
It made me realize that no matter what goes on in my life,
I know that I want this guy by my side.
[laughing] Oh, my God, you're so weird.
And I want to build something that's special near my family
because there's nothing like family.
Yeah, family is everything for us,
so it's more important than ever.
So, this is what it's all about, and that's why we're here.
[Jenny] What are you guys thinking for the outside here?
Are you wanting it to be a barn
and not really know what's inside?
Or are you wanting it to look a bit like a house?
Maybe we make this entrance a little bit more guesthouse looking.
[Gabby] There is potential for a lot more light in here.
[Dave] Like, where the garage door is.
Maybe you actually even center a door in the middle,
and you put, like, just double windows on either side.
[Jenny] Windows, lots of windows on here.
What about the actual sighting itself?
Do we wanna keep the metal?
[Shay] I think the metal is, it's here...
-[Jenny] Might as well use it. -[Shay] ...and it's, we might as well use it.
-I think it's in good shape, so. -Yeah.
[Jenny] Okay, so the plan out here,
we're gonna create a nice, large entry with a nice door,
and we're gonna add windows.
Really, just kind of making it feel like a barn,
but also like a home.
Of course, we'll add some lighting
and some landscaping and make it look welcoming.
[Shay] I love that.
You guys wanna check out the inside?
-Yeah, let's go. -Yes, let's go.
-[Shay] Home sweet home. -[Gabby] Home sweet barn.
-[Dave] Oh, this is cool. -[Jenny] Oh, this is huge.
-This is a great space. -[Gabby] This is so cool.
There's so much potential to what we can do in here.
[Jenny] I mean, this is a lot of space.
Well, what do you need in this space?
Like what all do we need to account for here?
You need a bedroom, bathroom?
Do you want a full kitchen, a little kitchenette?
-Having like a full working kitchen vibe. -Yeah!
I think it would be silly not to do it.
I mean, and the ceilings are so high, too.
It's like, you could maybe do some sort of a loft up there.
Where you're standing becomes like a living room.
-Yeah. -Right.
We were on a floor up here,
so we put, like, bathroom, kitchen down low.
-Bedroom, up in the loft area. - [Shay] Okay, yeah.
And then, you just look out to this
amazing party living space.
Absolutely.
[Jenny] Okay, so the plan in here is to create a nice entryway
with a door and windows.
And then, we will create a living room,
a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and loft area.
[Gabby] That'll be so sick.
Also, on the other side of this is some space.
-The view over here is actually really beautiful. -Gorgeous.
Okay, so let's go see that space. Do you wanna do it?
-Let's do it. -Yeah, let's figure that out.
-[Shay] It's double the space rush. -[Jenny] Oh, my gosh.
-It's huge. -[Shay] It's beautiful.
One big thing that we could use it for is your wedding.
[all] Yeah!
[Shay] And I think this would be the ultimate wedding venue.
[Gabby] I'm so excited.
I love the house, it's so precious.
It brings back all these memories.
And we're ready to get married.
We're ready to kind of start our life together right here.
We could do a really cool door
coming out where... for your wedding.
-You could have those doors open... -Right.
-...where you double your seating. -Yeah.
-And you're looking there. -And look at the cows.
-How pretty would that be if you had your... -[Gabby] That's gorgeous.
...wedding right there with that as the background,
-and you walk out here, it's gonna be really pretty. -It'll be beautiful.
[Dave] The only thing obstructing the view
is this rundown shed.
So, we'll have to do something about that.
I'm so excited.
[Jenny] So, we'll have a big door coming out
from your new in-law suite
and figure out some sort of flooring out here
and just have a nice big patio
where you can look at the cows across the way.
[Shay] This is gonna be really beautiful.
Well, guys, we are so excited.
I know we don't have a ton of time,
but it's gonna be unbelievable.
-It's gonna be awesome. -Yeah, little stressed,
-but we'll get it done. -[Gabby] Good to see you.
Thank you, guys.
This is just one way that, you know,
all of us are able to kind of come around my sister,
and to be able to really jump start
her dreams and, you know, what she wants to do with her life.
And It's just really, really special.
-[Jenny] Bye, guys! -[Dave] See y'all.
[Gabby] I'm excited to see what they do with it.
Bye, y'all.
[Gray] I'm excited just to create new memories,
that means the world to me to...
to have a new beginning here.
[Jenny] We have worked on a lot of tight deadlines,
but we have never ever had a wedding
as our deadline.
I know Gabby right now is kind of like, "You know what..."
-"It's fine, it's casual." -"It's fine."
"Whatever happens."
As that date approaches,
-it's gonna change. -It's gonna be a little more stressful.
[birds chirping]
[Jenny] So, yeah, we need to figure this out pretty quickly.
We did our walk through with Gabby and Gray.
But before we start building, we wanna talk to Shay
about some ideas we have for surprises for Gabby.
Let's open this thing up.
And I know Shay has some ideas of his own.
So, I do know, obviously, Gabby and Gray love to work out.
-This whole project is about her healing as well. -Yeah.
And I think working out is obviously
a big part of that for her.
So, it feels like we have to give her
a workout space in this building.
Then, I was thinking, to me, a sauna is like, so relaxing.
It's so good for you, it has so many health benefits.
Do you think she would like one?
I think I would love one.
-I know, right? I would, too. -And I'm super on board.
[Jenny] So, she has a gym, a sauna, bathroom,
and then you have the stairs up to the loft.
[Shay] So, I'm thinking about this loft.
I want her to feel like she has a creative outlet.
And moving from Nashville,
obviously, she's got studio, you know,
she can kind of go and be creative.
And I don't want her to feel like she's giving that up.
-Exactly. You work out. -Yeah, writing songs is very therapeutic.
Working out is very therapeutic.
It's like, that being kind of the designated creative area.
That to me completes the healing center.
I love that.
And then, the wedding.
See, I've been thinking of this. I'm so excited!
[Shay laughs]
[Jenny] Okay, so, imagine you're out here,
you have two doors,
we have string lights,
this is all painted in here,
we have all the tables set up.
And there is the gazebo where they get married.
That's perfect.
[Jenny] Then, once that space is done,
we're gonna focus all of our efforts
on the main house, getting it ready,
because both of the spaces at the end of the day
have to be ready for the wedding.
Yep.
[lamb bleats]
Oh, he makes it!
-Like, you've been doing it your whole life. -[laughs]
This barn, we've got to get this thing done.
There's no demo.
So, we're gonna get this thing framed in.
Go ahead and get some two by sixes for this wall right here now.
Luckily, we have Rick, who is Shay and Gabby's dad.
He has a construction business.
He has all his subcontractors here.
We've got brother-in-law, Cody.
So, we are gonna lean heavily on them
to help us get this project done
in time for the wedding.
Are you guys good if I start nailing this side?
[Rick] Yeah, it's ready to go.
All right.
[Rick] Then we'll nail that plate on top.
[Dave] I hope this one didn't get hit.
-Did you miss that stud? -[Dave] We lifted this way.
You notice where it's hanging from?
-Oh, okay, all right. -I hit my side.
-[Rick] Okay. Good, good. -All right.
Rick, we went to the wrong line.
-[Rick] Huh? -[Cody] We went to the wrong line,
it's falling off.
That's got to come down.
-That's got to come down? -[Cody] Yep.
Yeah, there's two lines up there.
We went to the top, when we should have went to the bottom.
[Dave] So, Cody comes over and tells me and Rick
that we put the stud in the wrong spot on the wall.
[Cody] It wasn't your fault, we did it when we popped it.
[Rick] Ah, okay.
We weren't gonna take responsibility for it, so.
They was almost gonna let us take the responsibility.
So, is my line good or none of them?
[Cody] No, we'll probably need to re pull it.
Oh, wow, okay.
Well, it's better now than five trusses up there.
This is the best kind of mistake you wanna make
-before you nail everything. -Yeah, for sure, yeah.
I mean, let's just get the one mistake out of the way and be done with it.
-[machine whirring] -Whoa!
Here we go.
[crickets chirping] All right.
All right, guys. So, this building has to go
because this is where the wedding is taking place.
[Dave] In the Mooney's backyard.
We have an old barn shed.
It needs to go, it's not safe.
It's an eyesore.
Gabby and Gray are getting married in this yard,
so we are just getting it out of here,
so we can get ready for this wedding.
We were in there cleaning out yesterday,
and there is a few things in there
-we might wanna look at. -Okay, yeah.
Let's look before we tear it down.
Is that what you brought to tear this down?
-[Cody] That's it. -[Jenny] Oh!
This isn't a skyscraper.
-It's an old barn. -[all laughing]
-[Cody] Go big or go home. -[Dave] There you go.
[Cody] There's some old ceramic molds up there.
-[Jenny] Oh. -[Cody] Some wine jars.
-What are those? -In them boxes over there.
[Dave] Now, you're perking our interest.
[Jenny] Oh.
[Dave] We've got some old records, Jenny.
[Cody] Oh, wow. Them some old.
Yeah.
Look at there. Do you recognize anybody in there?
In this picture?
-[Dave] Wait a minute. -[Jenny] Who is it?
-Is it you? -[Rick] And Cindy?
-Are you serious? -Yeah.
Where?
Right here, Cindy.
Oh, my!
I guess this is Cindy's grandma's records, maybe, I don't know.
[Dave] That is hilarious. So, this is you.
-And that's Cindy. -[Jenny] Oh, wait, here's another one.
[Rick] Oh, my goodness.
[Dave] We gotta keep these, that's kind of cool.
Oh, my gosh, yeah, we do.
Do you remember any of these songs?
-Oh, yeah. -Come on, let's hear it.
-Let's hear it. Come on. Come on. -Oh, no, no.
-So, when was this? -Come on!
-How old were you? -Maybe 17.
Rick met his wife, Cindy, when they were in the second grade.
They were in this band together.
Like they're just adorable.
They have a really sweet love story.
So, Shane and Gabby,
they got their musical talent from you.
-Mostly, Cindy. -[Dave] Mostly, Cindy.
Yeah.
It sets me in the mood for a good wedding
hearing that story.
Well, get ready 'cause one is coming.
This is so cool. Okay, we've got to keep these.
-These will be good in the music room. -[Rick laughs]
I got a few treasures.
-Got some treasures. -And some knowledge about your past,
-Rick, I love this. -So cool.
-[Cody] Ready? -Get her done!
Ready!
[engine starts]
-[Jenny] Oh. -That is the right piece of equipment for that job.
There goes the cloth.
[Rick] We could run it all the way to that back wall.
What do you think?
[Jenny] So, Gabby needs a place to live
while we've got to work on the main house?
This is gonna be it.
We're gonna create this upstairs space
that will be both a bedroom and a writing studio.
But the framing has to happen first.
So, we've got the trusses in now.
We are getting ready to install those.
So, we're gonna have a three-four foot overhang here.
It'll be cool, nice cantilever porch.
Make the upstairs room a little bigger.
As soon as we get those floor trusses set,
we can build the stairs, do the floor.
You guys ready?
And cut our final openings
going out into the covered area
on the side of the barn.
[Rick] Don't get your fingers.
I'll keep my fingers out of the way.
-Don't you worry about that. -[Rick laughs]
-Here you go. -[Rick] Okay.
[Dave] It's gonna be nice up here.
There's gonna be a ton of space.
Yeah, there is, isn't it?
Okay, perfect.
It may look like I'm doing something.
[both laugh]
[Jenny] Hello!
-Hey. -It looks good.
It's going to be awesome.
This is great, but I was exploring around the property,
I found something.
Look what I found.
You've got to kind of look past the current condition.
-Yeah. -But look at this cool sink.
So, I think that's Cindy's grandma's old sink.
-Of course, it is. That's amazing. -[Dave] Are you serious?
-It's cool! -It is.
We can mount that on the wall in the bathroom in here.
It has history. It's your grandma's.
This trough sink is going to be a perfect addition to the bathroom.
It actually was Cindy's grandmother's sink.
I love tying in family history and bringing it back to life.
Can I re-fix that?
Yeah, we actually have a sink that's kind of similar to that
that we've re-enameled before and painted.
I think this could be really cute.
[Dave] These sinks to buy them new.
-Yeah, they're expensive. -They're like thousand bucks.
Not including the hardware, so it actually saves money.
And we get to reincorporate some history from this farm.
One thing I did wanna ask about
was on this front wall,
are we doing any windows or anything on to it?
Yeah, that's a good question.
Since we're getting rid of the store,
I think we need a big window here.
-Yeah. -I mean, so it looks like a house.
Does it make sense to center up the front door?
I think that's a great idea.
-A door here. - [Jenny] Front door, a couple windows, yeah.
[Rick] Would we wanna do some the windows a little higher.
-[Jenny] Yeah. -[Rick] Maybe some...
-[Dave] Transom above it. -[Rick] ...transom top.
For sure. Yeah, okay.
I just can't get over how much Rick speaks your language.
I know, love it.
[Dave] Rick is all in.
[Jenny] He has great ideas.
He gets it, he wants it to be a beautiful space.
You know, he wants to do it right.
All of that was a different language, for he's not cheap, like Dave.
That's exactly what that was.
So, now we're gonna have the kitchen here.
But then, we had talked about a big table,
so I was thinking maybe you could build the table.
-Okay. -[Jenny] But is there anything special
we could do for the table,
like, I don't know, some family traditions that you guys have.
-Yes. -Maybe something with music or something.
-That would be cool. -[Dave] Okay. I like that.
-Maybe the first song Gabby wrote. -Yeah.
-If the lyrics-- -Yeah, we could.
-[Jenny] Yeah. -That would be awesome.
-[Jenny] That'd be cool. -Yeah, I like that.
And then the other thing you're building is the sauna.
-Oh, you're building that? -[Dave] Yeah, I've got the equipment.
We'll line it all cedar and yeah, make it great.
And then, the cool sink is gonna go in here.
All right. Looks like we got a good plan.
Okay, all right. Get back to work.
-[Dave] See you later. All right, Rick. You ready? -I'm ready.
[Luke laughing]
Can't catch me!
I know 'cause you're fast.
[laughing, exclaiming]
[Jenny] You know, no matter how busy the day is,
when I get home, I have to have energy left
to hang out with my kids.
Is this dangerous?
No, it's fine.
Luke is four.
He's wild, he's rambunctious,
He's just all boy and I love it.
And I don't want to miss these moments.
[Luke] On the mark, get, set, go!
Okay. Go! Whoa! Whoa!
-You're too fast! Too fast! -[Luke laughs]
It's a serious workout keeping up with him.
Not for the faint of heart.
-[Jenny exclaims] Ah! -[Luke screams]
[Jenny] Oh, my gosh! How do I stop?
No matter what Luke's doing, he wants me to be there with him.
The brakes don't work on...
And you know what?
They grow up fast and there's going to be a day
when he doesn't want me to be running around with him.
So, I'm gonna take advantage of it while I can.
[Luke] I have a motorbike.
Mine is attached to a motorbike.
Oh, man, I wish mine had a motor.
Dave!
-[Dave] Yeah. -[Jenny] What are you doing?
[Dave] Just cleaning.
-Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. -Cleaning?
What's up?
-Okay, so I want to do a big dining table out. -Okay.
And and you know, we're doing the black windows.
So, I thought it'd be kind of fun
to incorporate that into the table
with some steel legs.
-Steel legs. -Steel legs wood top.
Simple, like a X pattern.
-How big, eight feet? -So, I think we make it as big as we can.
So, we can do a giant table
that will serve both as an island and a table.
It doesn't need to be giant.
-It can just be a nice sized table. -Should be pretty big.
But it can't be any bigger than the kitchen.
[Dave] The kitchen is 15 feet.
-That's a giant table. -It's a 12.
-Okay, ten. -Ten.
-Three.
[machine whirring]
I gotta make sure it's nice and straight and square,
and that I do it the right way.
Just gotta run the middle brace.
We'll be set.
All right, that's all welded up.
I'll let it set up, get it all painted,
and then we'll save the top for another day.
All right, so I've got this sauna all figured out.
-[Rick] You got it figured out? -Yeah.
I've been doing some research on it.
We are down at Gabby and Gray's house.
There's a sauna underneath the staircase
that we've added.
[Jenny] This space is gonna be a wellness space for her.
But we've got to figure out size, dimensions,
where everything is going,
so I can get the materials that I need.
So, I would think we want the door to be a right hand out swing.
So, you can open it out and then step into this, right?
In the center, I've got those insulated glass panels.
-Yeah. -So, you can see out of it,
but then cedar all around.
-Yeah. -[Rick] I like that.
Yeah, I definitely think you need glass.
And then you have, like, a smaller platform,
and then you have a seat that sits up
'cause you wanna get up a little ways
'cause that's where all the heat is.
We also talked about maybe coming in here,
and making this, the bench.
We could do a bench here and a bench there.
[Rick] You might have two people in there sometime.
[Jenny] Exactly.
The other question is windows.
-We've got one window here and one upstairs. -One upstairs.
I feel like it needs to go on this wall,
-is what I was picturing. -Yeah.
-Because this wall is going to be mirrored. -[Rick] Right.
[Jenny] How big is it?
[Rick] It's a three-foot wide, about six-foot.
[Jenny] That's a nice sized window.
Yeah, I think, just right center in on the wall.
-[Rick] Just right in the center. -Yeah.
For sure. It's beautiful up there.
That is pretty.
-And then I think just match it upstairs. -Just match it up there.
That works for us.
-Yeah, sounds great. -[Jenny] Easy.
[Rick] There we go.
See how straight you cut that.
Oh, I never guaranteed straight.
-[laughs] -I just said I could do it.
[machine whirring]
[Dave] All right. Push her out, Rick.
-[Rick] Are you ready? -[Dave] I'm ready.
[Rick] There you go. Awesome.
-It is amazing, the difference a window makes. -It's beautiful.
Love this. What a view.
-Great job. -[Dave] Good job.
I love it.
[Gabby] Just stop! This is crazy!
Oh, my God! Are you kidding me right now?
[Jenny] The barn is coming along.
It's really a house now.
It's not really a barn anymore.
So much has been done in here.
-[Dave] All the sheet rock. -[Jenny] Sheet rock.
[hammering]
[Dave] We've got brand new flooring going in throughout the house.
[Jenny] We have the new front door, new windows, the sliding door.
We have the tongue and groove on the ceiling,
Stairs.
Upstairs, a cozy writing studio/bedroom
when she has guests.
Meanwhile, at the barn...
Here's the glass.
We're working on the door for Gabby's sauna.
Argh! It should slide right in there.
This is pretty.
Okay, there we go. Perfect.
I like the glass because I don't want it to feel tight in there.
It's tucked underneath the stairs.
The glass in the door will help the space feel...
a little less confined.
So, now I cut the same trim
that's on the other side.
Oh, it looks beautiful. Nice.
[Dave] Okay, let me grab a nail gun,
-and we'll tack these on. -Come on.
It smells good, too.
All right.
This is gonna be amazing.
Gabby is planning her wedding.
Now, she's gonna have a sauna.
She's gonna be able to work out,
get out her stress.
Go sit in the sauna. Relax.
Oil up. Look at that olive oil.
Yeah, you don't have to oil up, Dave.
It's a dry sauna.
I thought you oiled up before you went in there.
What are you talking about?
-"Oil up." What is that-- -Little Greco-Roman.
-What do you think? -[Jenny] It looks good!
-We're here at the Mooney in-law suite. -Yep.
We only have three weeks left until Gabby moves in.
We've got a sauna that we've got to wrap up,
but we're right there. We are right there.
So, this here is the key to a good sauna.
Got us something that reflects that heat energy back
[Shay] Well, hello, sir!
Good to see you, man. How are you?
Just in time to put in some cabinets.
-[laughs] -[Shay] Oh, my goodness.
Do we have a Dave Marrs in this room?
-What's going on, man? -[Shay] Good to see you, buddy.
-How are you? -Good. How are you?
-[Shay] I'm doing fantastic, man. -[Dave] Good.
It's good to see Shay again.
He's doing this amazing renovation for his sister,
and he grew up in a construction family.
So, he wants to help when he can.
We've got to get those cabinets set first.
They take priority over the sauna
because I need countertops,
and appliances and backsplash to get the kitchen done.
I can come back to the sauna.
There's nothing like showing up
and being put to work, right?
[Shay] How did I get going backwards?
How did I get stuck with this?
Well, yeah, I've been doing this longer,
so I was smarter to walk to the back of the trailer.
[Shay] Where are these going?
[Dave] Just right against that back wall.
This is the sink cabinet.
This one goes right here.
[Shay] And boom.
[machine whirring]
I love the door and all the windows.
This looks so good. It feels like a house now.
-[Rick] Yes. -A nice little side project here, guys.
-Yeah, this-- -A full other home.
[Jenny] Okay, guys, since we're all here,
let's go through the finishes.
This goes on that wall.
[Jenny] Yeah, exactly. So it feels like a really modern gym.
We'll have that on the back wall.
We have the big mirror on the other wall.
So, we'll do a green cabinet in this kitchen,
black appliances, we'll do pink in the bathroom.
-Perfect. -I think that's great.
All right, we got all our colors.
All right. Let's take a look at the sauna.
[laughs]
It's just awkward. Oh, gosh, sorry.
[Shay] I mean, can you guys hurry it up?
[Rick laughs]
[Dave] Yeah, she does smell good.
I can just smell the cedar.
[Jenny] I can smell the door.
[Shay] It looks like a professional sauna.
[Dave] Well, it is a professional sauna.
-Well... -Me and your dad are working on it
with you, man.
-[laughs] -So, we'll stack this tight.
On the walls, tied to the foil paper.
Just sand up when we're done.
The door is on an exterior jam.
-Okay, yeah. -So, it's insulated, sealed.
So, does that have a threshold for it, too?
No, I'll build the threshold
-because I'm gonna do cedar floor. -Okay.
I'm so excited that this really is like a dream.
Having this wellness center, I feel like, honestly,
it's going to be such a reignited passion of hers.
-I love it. -Amazing.
And she can train me.
-That's what we need. -There you go.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
[machine whirring]
[Jenny] Did you see the text I sent you?
-Yes, I did. -[Jenny] So, we got the new lyric from Shay.
So, Erica, Shay and Gabby wrote this song together,
and this is one of the lyrics.
"If you want to know who I am, just come on in."
Which I love 'cause like, that space is "Come on in, come around the table."
-And apparently-- -Okay. So, "If you wanna know who I am, just come on in."
I can cut it into the wood
or I can burn it into the wood,
so you can see it a little bit more.
That would be cool.
My CNC machine burns as well as cuts.
I mean, if you want to find out,
just come on in.
You want to get to know my CNC machine.
You want to get to know my CNC machine,
come on over.
[Jenny] Do you know how to use it now?
Ah... Ish.
"If you want to know who I am..." Comma?
Comma, "Just come on in."
[Dave] They're all different fonts,
so you just highlight your text.
Ooh, that one's good. Try that one.
[Jenny] Lavanderia.
Okay, I'll see you in an hour.
-All right, good luck. -All right.
[Dave] I love it.
[Dave] At the Mooney property,
we're building out the outdoor spaces
that Gabby and Gray will use for their wedding.
Inside, we've got the electrician here
installing lighting in the bathroom.
We've installed the trough sink
that belonged to Gabby's great grandmother,
and we're re-enameling it in the space.
[Jenny] Everything is really coming together,
but there's still a lot to do.
All right, so I can honestly say that I have never--
Moved a grand piano?
Yeah, well, I think there's people that do that for a living,
-and I'm not typically one of them. -[man] That's right.
How do you think we're gonna get this upstairs?
Do you have a plan?
No, I have no plan. I've never moved a piano.
I really wanted to include a piano
because it's a writing studio.
[man] We're gonna go this way.
[Jenny] So, I found a amazing piano for a great deal.
An 850 pounds piano.
All pianos are heavy.
This is really steep.
Now, we're gonna hold it and it's gonna go down.
Good job, guys. You're doing great work.
I think there's an even odds chance
that this goes... phew.
Hey, Jenny, you're the anchor.
-If it starts to go... -All right, I got it.
...jump out the window. Hold it.
You guys tell us, we'll just hold it.
[Rick] Okay, pull!
-All right, we got it. -[Rick] Easy, Easy.
it's not gonna fit. Going down.
[Jenny] Nice test run.
[Rick] The next option is no ramp, no dolly, whatsoever.
[Dave] You shouldn't have started up these stairs
before the piano did.
-Now, you're stuck here. -[Jenny] I know.
My phone's down there, too.
Okay, come on up. One, two, three.
[Jenny] Okay, there we go.
Is it fitting?
We got it, we got it.
-On three. One, two, three. -Okay, three.
Three! [grunts]
Two, three!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Give me two. Three!
[all grunting]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
This piano starts to go,
and I don't know what possessed me.
But I threw my body in front of the piano.
You're a hero, a modern day hero.
-Three! -[all grunting]
Can you imagine if that piano would have fallen,
and then just taken off,
like a downhill slalom course.
All right, tip it now. Pull the ramp.
[man] One, two, three.
Okay.
[Jenny] Oh, and here comes Rick.
Rick! [laughs]
Hey, I was here, if it came down.
[Jenny] It's the best timing ever.
Yeah. Yes.
The hard part's over.
-What do you think? -I love it.
-[Dave] You like it? -I think when you walk in,
I mean, you can see the piano.
It looks really cool.
That image is just, it tells you,
-"Hey, this is a music area." -It sets the mood for the entire place.
-It really does. -Perfect.
[Dave] We're getting close.
Today I'm making a guitar rack for Gabby's in-law suite.
This guy will actually sit
right on the wall where we can display
Gabby's guitars.
I've got four holes to drill,
and then get it over to the Mooney's house.
I mean, who needs a bunch of paintings
when you have these amazing guitars,
which are really a work of art on their own.
This pecan, it's super hard.
But it looks cool.
[machine whirring]
Cut these four real quick, router and be done.
[machine whirring]
That looks awesome.
[Jenny] There is a lot happening today.
We've got landscaping going in,
the railing is being installed.
And furniture is being delivered.
- It's a big day. -[Dave] Yeah.
Oh, that looks nice!
-[Cody] Yeah, that's the spot. -That is the spot!
[Jenny] The appliances are in, they look so good.
-It just... -Fits the space really well.
...feels like this cute little modern cottage kitchen.
What about if we try your guitar thing here?
Can we try it? Can you hold it?
Yeah, it's upstairs. Let me grab it.
[Jenny] Something personal on the walls
is always a really nice focal point,
a nice talking point.
[Dave] So, we need 20 inches of space in between.
[Jenny] And her guitars are beautiful.
She loves them. It really sets the tone for the whole space.
-You have the guitars, the piano, bam. -Got everything.
Now that can go over here.
-I like it. -[woman] It's a good idea.
Yeah, it will tie it all together.
Yeah, cute!
We are so, so, so close.
We are just days away.
Gabby is going to move into this space,
so that we can finish off the main house,
we can get everything ready for the wedding.
This is the favorite.
[Jenny] That's beautiful.
Wow, that should go right there.
There's so much happening.
It's so much pressure, but it's good.
It's exciting. We're getting there.
-Oh, my gosh, it smells so good. -[Jenny] Doesn't it?
Oh, it's amazing.
It is almost time for Gabby and Gray
to come and see the new in-law suite barn...
-Wellness Center. -...wellness Center.
[Dave] It is not a barn anymore.
This is a fully functioning house.
-It's amazing. -So good.
We have to get into playing guitars
just so I can build a shelf for him.
Ah, so cute, I love it. I love it. I love it.
This property is special.
It's been in their family for so long.
And now they're starting there...
really starting their whole life here.
And so, it's just a really, really special place.
There's so much on the horizon for Gabby and Gray.
-It looks good. -It looks great.
-We're done. -I love it.
Let's get these kids in their house.
-This is absolutely nuts. -I know.
I feel like a kid before Christmas, you know?
-Waking up in the morning, riding downstairs. -It's like, 04:00 AM
[laughs]
[Gabby] Oh.
[gasps]
-Oh, my gosh. -[both laugh]
[Gabby] Oh.
Yay.
[gasps]
-Oh, my gosh. -[both laugh]
-Hi! -Hi!
How are you?
[all exclaiming]
[Gabby] Stop! This is crazy!
-Ah! -[all laughing]
[Gray] Whoa, that's a lot different.
Oh, my gosh, I'm gonna cry.
[Jenny] Okay. So, this just was a barn, remember?
-And now-- -It's a house.
It is a space for when you have family come to town.
They can stay here, and also
this will be a place for you to stay.
while we finish the other house.
I am so excited to get on Mom and Dad's.
I love 'em so much, but I haven't lived with 'em since I was 18.
It's a lot. It's a lot.
Yeah, it's a lot. [laughs]
[Jenny] We have a real front door.
It was super important to make it feel like
this is the entryway to a house.
Lots of windows.
There's so much natural light going into the space.
And the light in the front.
-[Jenny] Yeah. -[Dave] Pretty, isn't it?
-[Gabby] Gorgeous. -[Dave] So pretty.
Oh, my gosh, the landscaping. It's gorgeous.
It's absolutely stunning.
-[Dave] All right. -So, you guys ready to go inside?
-I'm so ready. Are you kidding me? -Okay.
-Let's go. -I'm so excited.
-We'll follow you. -Okay. Ah!
Oh, my gosh, this is nuts.
[Gray] Oh.
[laughing] Oh, my gosh, are you kidding me right now?
-[gasps] Ah! -Feel like I can't take my shoes off.
[laughing] I know!
[Gabby] Are you kidding me right now?
Like, I'm gonna cry. This is unbelievable.
I'm like, "This is the case?"
I know, I know!
[Gabby] This is literally a house.
[Jenny] Yes, it is. It's a house.
We wanted to make it a space where you guys
can have family and friends stay here.
Obviously, you're gonna be staying here until the wedding.
Oh, my goodness, guys. I can't wait.
[Jenny] So, we want it to be a full space
that feels like this cute modern cottage.
Oh, my gosh, stop it!
[Dave] We went with everything with it.
-You got the coffeemaker, the dishwasher, the range. -Are you kidding me right now?
This is unbelievable.
The color of these cabinets is absolutely stunning.
[Jenny] And then, Dave built this table for y'all.
Wait. What does this say?
"Do you want to know who I am?
-Just come on in." -[gasps]
That's your lyrics.
-Don't start. -[all laughing]
That's so precious. I'm sorry.
-[laughs] -Oh, my gosh. That's so cool.
I have the individual lashes.
-I'm trying not to cry. -[all laughing]
-You did an incredible job. -[Dave] Thank you.
[Gabby] This is stunning.
[gasps] That's my guitar!
This is unreal.
Like, I don't know what this is made out of.
It looks like a tree.
[Dave] Yeah, that's all pecan.
That's a pecan tree from our house.
[Gabby] That is crazy!
It's stunning!
[Jenny] We wanted everyone, when they walked in,
know this place is for music.
And you guys are a musical family.
-And so, this kinda sets the tone right away for that. -This is unbelievable.
[Jenny] And then, we have this amazing space outside.
-Come on out here. -Yeah, you got to check this.
-It's so cool. -Stunning.
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh, look at this space!
[Dave] It was full of hay in here, and it was a dirt floor.
A few months ago.
This fan is insane!
Oh, my gosh!
And this table, like I would have never...
-[Gray] Check this. -... dreamed.
-[Jenny] Stamped concrete, so it looks like tile. -[Gabby] Gosh!
It is such a beautiful, quiet little tucked away space
where you guys can gather and celebrate
with your friends and family.
[Gray] Just look at this view.
[Dave] That's what it's all about
is that view out there.
All right, we got more to see.
Oh, my gosh! This is a gym, babe!
[gasps]
-Stop! -Oh, one of these.
[Gabby] Oh!
[Gray] Those are the workout mirrors, aren't they?
This is sick!
Oh, my God, it's got elliptical.
-Stop. -I know what that door is.
[Gabby] Stop it!
-Shut the front door! -[laughs]
-[laughing] Oh, my gosh! -I smell cedar.
-Ah! -[Jenny] Doesn't it smell so good?
-[Gray] Oh, it smells so good in here. -[Gabby] Oh!
Babe, babe!
He's smelling the wall.
So, Dave, built this for you
because it's such a great thing for your health, right?
And I know you love to work out.
[Gabby] Guys!
The last time I was in this corner,
I was shoveling out probably 30 pounds of mice poop.
[all laughing]
[Gray] But now, it's a sauna, so that's pretty sweet.
-I like that. -[Gabby laughs]
Okay, so you work out,
you got a little coffee spot, some storage,
and then we have another door to check out.
-Yeah. -Oh, my gosh, this is crazy.
Oh, my goodness.
[gasps]
Oh, my gosh, it's a full bath.
It's a a full stinking bathroom.
-The sink is sick. -Okay, so, do you recognize the sink?
It was behind the barn, we found it outside.
Covered in rust and mold.
-Yeah. -No way!
[Jenny] And so, we restored it.
We had to use it and keep it here.
-[Gabby] Are you kidding me? -[Jenny] So cool.
So, it's some of your family's history,
anywhere we could, incorporating it in the house.
Grandma Nobles.
All right. Should we head upstairs?
Yes. Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh, this is stunning!
-My harmonicas. -Yay.
They're my old harmonicas.
[playing harmonica]
-[all laughing] -Yay!
We got a piano, too.
-Would you like to hear it? -Yes!
[Gabby] This is stunning!
Are you kidding me right now?
-Oh, my word. -[playing piano]
-Just goes right into it. -I know!
It's better than we ever...
-We tried. That's beautiful. -Does it sound good?
[Gabby] Oh, my gosh!
[Jenny] So, you have your writing space.
You have your piano to write on.
And then, this sofa,
the majority of the time, it's more of like this hangout space.
But when you have guests, this is also a sleeper sofa,
so the bed actually just pulls out, which is nice.
You have a bed, but it's not a bed all the time.
We thought a big bed in here would just feel clunky
and take up the room,
and kind of changed the whole vibe of the room.
And yeah, that's why we said, this is your wellness center.
You got your physical wellness,
you've got your emotional wellness,
and you're writing up here.
I just see you guys just spending a lot of time out here.
Oh, my gosh.
[Jenny] Gabby's life was altered
-when she had her surgery. -[Dave] Big time.
And she has kind of had to put everything on pause.
And it's just kind of ready to take this next step
to get back to working out, back to writing, back to her life.
-[Gabby exclaims] Ah! -[Gray] Well, hello!
-How is it? -[Cindy] Oh, my gosh!
-Are you freaking kidding me right now? -Come on in.
[Jenny] There's a light now at the end of the tunnel
from this really hard season that she's walked through
and this space is the start of that next season for her.
Daddy, you just went all out on this.
How about this over here, sis.
-[Gabby] Shay, I literally cried. -That is so special.
It's so special.
-You. -[laughs]
-I love you, sissy. -[Gabby] I love you more, brother.
It's been a really, really fun project for really great people.
It really has. And now we just have to get her house done.
Yes.
-[playing piano] -[Gabby] Okay.
We're really freaking out. Are you kidding?
-Shooketh. -Shooketh.
Dave and Jenny went above and beyond
and Shay.
And so, did my dad.
They just really put their heart and soul into this.
You could tell.
♪ He leadeth me, He leadeth me ♪
It makes you want to have a happy family around the table,
cooking big dinners for Christmas, Thanksgiving.
We just feel so grateful.
It's just an incredible precious gift
that we really can't ever say thank you enough for.
♪ By His hand, He leadeth me ♪
[Dave] Wow!
