1
00:00:05,353 --> 00:00:08,801
Hey, do you remember the country
club that was in Garland,
2
00:00:08,801 --> 00:00:10,284
was-- I think
it was Eastern Hills?
3
00:00:10,284 --> 00:00:12,249
- Ooh! I love Eastern Hills!
- I know.
4
00:00:12,249 --> 00:00:14,077
We wanted to live
in Eastern Hills.
5
00:00:14,077 --> 00:00:15,525
Yeah.
There's a house over there
6
00:00:15,525 --> 00:00:17,870
that I want you to see.
I found it off market.
7
00:00:17,870 --> 00:00:19,111
Okay.
Why do I need to see it?
8
00:00:19,111 --> 00:00:21,387
'Cause it might be
a Derek special.
9
00:00:21,387 --> 00:00:23,180
You bought a house
in Eastern Hills?
10
00:00:23,180 --> 00:00:24,801
You know this area's hot.
11
00:00:24,801 --> 00:00:26,456
And the houses over
here, they're typically never
12
00:00:26,456 --> 00:00:29,215
on the market longer
than five days tops.
13
00:00:29,215 --> 00:00:30,387
Yeah, it's sought after.
14
00:00:30,387 --> 00:00:32,491
This is a location play
all the way.
15
00:00:32,491 --> 00:00:34,456
As soon as it was available,
I had to jump on it.
16
00:00:36,249 --> 00:00:38,422
Eastern Hills is
a very diverse community
17
00:00:38,422 --> 00:00:39,836
with beautiful older homes
18
00:00:39,836 --> 00:00:42,767
that are well-maintained
on tree-lined streets.
19
00:00:42,767 --> 00:00:45,525
It has great school options
for families with kids,
20
00:00:45,525 --> 00:00:48,043
and there are a lot of parks,
amazing restaurants,
21
00:00:48,043 --> 00:00:50,732
and entertainment venues
for residents to enjoy.
22
00:00:50,732 --> 00:00:52,284
I'm excited,
but I'm also concerned
23
00:00:52,284 --> 00:00:55,215
because there are no zombies
in Eastern Hills.
24
00:00:55,215 --> 00:00:58,008
It's definitely nicer than
our typical zombie buys.
25
00:00:58,008 --> 00:01:01,525
We're talking 4/3,
almost 2,800 square feet.
26
00:01:01,525 --> 00:01:03,318
- Ooh!
- It's a '76 build.
27
00:01:03,318 --> 00:01:05,284
Babe, that is a big house.
28
00:01:05,284 --> 00:01:07,215
Like, the materials
on something like that's
29
00:01:07,215 --> 00:01:09,249
gonna be astronomical,
and you said built in '76?
30
00:01:09,249 --> 00:01:10,353
What did we buy it for?
31
00:01:10,353 --> 00:01:13,284
Yeah, so we picked it up
for $295,000,
32
00:01:13,284 --> 00:01:15,836
and I have the ARV pegged
33
00:01:15,836 --> 00:01:18,456
for about $550,000...
34
00:01:18,456 --> 00:01:19,905
- Ooh.
- ...maybe higher,
35
00:01:19,905 --> 00:01:22,387
depending on
what we do with the pool.
36
00:01:22,387 --> 00:01:23,663
The pool?
37
00:01:23,663 --> 00:01:25,146
Yeah, it's got a pool.
38
00:01:25,146 --> 00:01:26,732
We don't buy houses with pools.
39
00:01:26,732 --> 00:01:28,387
I did break our rule
on that one.
40
00:01:28,387 --> 00:01:29,801
I don't even know what to do
with a pool.
41
00:01:29,801 --> 00:01:31,594
We just don't buy houses
with pools
42
00:01:31,594 --> 00:01:35,043
because pools just hardly ever
increase the ARV.
43
00:01:35,043 --> 00:01:38,560
Pool renovations can ultimately
double your renovation costs.
44
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,594
They're just not worth the risk.
45
00:01:40,594 --> 00:01:43,525
So you bought a gigantic house
46
00:01:43,525 --> 00:01:46,801
in an expensive neighborhood
with a pool?
47
00:01:46,801 --> 00:01:48,318
Sight unseen, don't forget that.
48
00:01:48,318 --> 00:01:50,491
I'm afraid of the reno budget
49
00:01:50,491 --> 00:01:52,767
with it being so large
and it having a pool,
50
00:01:52,767 --> 00:01:54,698
and I'm also afraid
because you're so quiet.
51
00:01:54,698 --> 00:01:55,698
I don't trust you.
52
00:01:58,318 --> 00:02:00,284
Such a pretty street.
53
00:02:00,284 --> 00:02:02,008
- Nice.
- Is this the house?
54
00:02:02,008 --> 00:02:04,249
This is the house.
55
00:02:04,249 --> 00:02:06,732
This is
"Zombie House Flipping: Dallas"
56
00:02:06,732 --> 00:02:09,456
y'all!
57
00:02:09,456 --> 00:02:10,767
Look at you, babe.
58
00:02:10,767 --> 00:02:13,387
- Looks good, doesn't it?
- It does!
59
00:02:13,387 --> 00:02:15,698
Yeah, I mean, the roof looks
like it's in good shape.
60
00:02:15,698 --> 00:02:19,836
I do see a little bit of
the soffits up underneath here.
61
00:02:19,836 --> 00:02:22,077
It looks like it maybe leaking.
62
00:02:22,077 --> 00:02:23,560
Okay. I see ya.
63
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:24,767
This would need
a little bit of help,
64
00:02:24,767 --> 00:02:26,456
but the brick looks amazing.
65
00:02:26,456 --> 00:02:27,801
Like, I don't even see
any cracks.
66
00:02:27,801 --> 00:02:29,215
Landscaping's not too bad.
67
00:02:29,215 --> 00:02:30,491
Obviously needs water,
68
00:02:30,491 --> 00:02:31,560
but it's in really good shape.
69
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,353
But the windows look old.
70
00:02:33,353 --> 00:02:35,318
Yeah, they could be replaced.
71
00:02:35,318 --> 00:02:37,043
Fence, too, isn't necessarily
looking like
72
00:02:37,043 --> 00:02:40,008
it's in tip-top condition.
73
00:02:40,008 --> 00:02:41,698
I mean we might could
just get away with
74
00:02:41,698 --> 00:02:43,422
even replacing
just this side fence part.
75
00:02:43,422 --> 00:02:44,663
Right.
76
00:02:44,663 --> 00:02:45,974
I like it, but I don't know
77
00:02:45,974 --> 00:02:48,008
that we can really call it
a zombie, though.
78
00:02:48,008 --> 00:02:51,422
Let's go inside.
Hope it keeps getting better.
79
00:02:51,422 --> 00:02:54,698
This 1976 one-story
brick house
80
00:02:54,698 --> 00:02:56,698
is four bedrooms, three baths,
81
00:02:56,698 --> 00:02:58,594
with a two car garage.
82
00:02:58,594 --> 00:03:01,767
At 2,736 square feet,
83
00:03:01,767 --> 00:03:03,870
there's plenty of room
for a growing family.
84
00:03:03,870 --> 00:03:05,974
It also offers several
suburban comforts
85
00:03:05,974 --> 00:03:07,870
like a sunroom
and built-in pool
86
00:03:07,870 --> 00:03:10,353
for entertaining
relatives and friends.
87
00:03:12,974 --> 00:03:14,525
Holy hell,
this house was deceiving
88
00:03:14,525 --> 00:03:16,215
on the outside
versus the inside.
89
00:03:18,422 --> 00:03:19,870
How are there no cracks
outside,
90
00:03:19,870 --> 00:03:22,215
and it's cracks literally
everywhere inside this house?
91
00:03:22,215 --> 00:03:23,560
Yeah.
92
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,284
There's another crack
over by this fireplace.
93
00:03:26,284 --> 00:03:28,284
Yeah.
It's not good.
94
00:03:28,284 --> 00:03:30,146
I'm feeling
a little bit nervous.
95
00:03:30,146 --> 00:03:31,870
I feel the floor sloping.
96
00:03:31,870 --> 00:03:34,422
Foundation
is definitely an issue.
97
00:03:34,422 --> 00:03:36,215
No, it's a major problem here.
98
00:03:36,215 --> 00:03:38,560
I know this house was built
on a slab foundation,
99
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,974
so that means there's
no crawl space underneath.
100
00:03:40,974 --> 00:03:42,594
We've had several cold winters,
101
00:03:42,594 --> 00:03:44,974
so if the soil
under the house froze,
102
00:03:44,974 --> 00:03:46,594
that can damage the foundation
103
00:03:46,594 --> 00:03:48,146
and cause the cracks
that we're seeing.
104
00:03:48,146 --> 00:03:50,560
But, I mean, I do like
the space of this room,
105
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,043
and I could do
a whole lot with it.
106
00:03:52,043 --> 00:03:53,422
Yeah.
We could something
107
00:03:53,422 --> 00:03:55,318
fun with the fireplace
and knock out...
108
00:03:55,318 --> 00:03:56,836
Open this wall.
...this wall and,
109
00:03:56,836 --> 00:03:58,387
like, open it up.
110
00:03:58,387 --> 00:04:00,077
I didn't even know zombies
existed in this neighborhood,
111
00:04:00,077 --> 00:04:01,939
and your ass
can always sniff them out.
112
00:04:01,939 --> 00:04:03,008
You know me.
113
00:04:04,801 --> 00:04:07,111
Ugh!
I mean, look at this kitchen.
114
00:04:09,387 --> 00:04:10,629
And it's little,
115
00:04:10,629 --> 00:04:12,043
especially for, like,
the size of the house.
116
00:04:12,043 --> 00:04:13,594
Look at the plumbing.
117
00:04:13,594 --> 00:04:16,629
Looks like we've got a water
leak where the fridge goes.
118
00:04:16,629 --> 00:04:17,801
Yeah, and they've rigged up
119
00:04:17,801 --> 00:04:19,560
some bucket of filth to fix it.
120
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,008
I'm budgeting
about 8 grand for plumbing.
121
00:04:22,008 --> 00:04:23,974
I hope it's not an issue
throughout the house.
122
00:04:23,974 --> 00:04:25,077
Kitchens sell houses,
123
00:04:25,077 --> 00:04:26,387
and this kitchen ain't
selling nothing.
124
00:04:26,387 --> 00:04:28,318
I'm gonna have to reconfigure
the whole layout
125
00:04:28,318 --> 00:04:30,111
and open up the wall
to the breakfast nook.
126
00:04:31,767 --> 00:04:33,836
Eww!
Look at this dining room.
127
00:04:36,077 --> 00:04:37,525
Oh, man!
128
00:04:37,525 --> 00:04:39,077
Holy hell, the cracks!
129
00:04:39,077 --> 00:04:42,698
Yeah, so these are some
of the worst cracks I've seen.
130
00:04:42,698 --> 00:04:45,387
Even here, like, it's like
it's almost coming apart.
131
00:04:47,353 --> 00:04:49,732
We need a foundation
company out here ASAP.
132
00:04:49,732 --> 00:04:52,422
Uh, what's down this hall?
133
00:04:52,422 --> 00:04:54,387
- It's a pretty large bedroom...
- Yeah.
134
00:04:54,387 --> 00:04:56,180
...but gotta replace
interior doors.
135
00:04:56,180 --> 00:04:58,491
Here's another
pretty large bedroom.
136
00:04:58,491 --> 00:05:00,043
All the bedrooms are huge.
137
00:05:00,043 --> 00:05:02,870
Big rooms,
big budget on materials.
138
00:05:02,870 --> 00:05:04,318
Yep.
139
00:05:04,318 --> 00:05:06,698
Good size bathroom,
but nasty in here.
140
00:05:07,939 --> 00:05:09,215
Yeah, look at that vent.
141
00:05:09,215 --> 00:05:10,939
Yeah.
142
00:05:10,939 --> 00:05:13,422
What are we even breathing?!
143
00:05:13,422 --> 00:05:15,801
Yeah, that's disgusting.
144
00:05:15,801 --> 00:05:17,043
But I won't touch the layout.
145
00:05:17,043 --> 00:05:19,111
It's a great layout.
It's got lots of space.
146
00:05:19,111 --> 00:05:20,974
Yeah, that's a good-size
bathroom.
147
00:05:23,284 --> 00:05:27,629
Alright, so I would assume
this is the primary bedroom?
148
00:05:27,629 --> 00:05:29,663
- Yeah, look at that.
- Good grief!
149
00:05:29,663 --> 00:05:31,284
All the way across.
150
00:05:34,353 --> 00:05:36,698
But this is a giant
freaking room, like--
151
00:05:36,698 --> 00:05:38,284
- Yep.
- The layout of it is fine.
152
00:05:38,284 --> 00:05:40,249
Take care of all these doors.
153
00:05:40,249 --> 00:05:43,284
And what is happening in here?
154
00:05:43,284 --> 00:05:45,732
Big space, big money.
155
00:05:45,732 --> 00:05:47,560
Oh, we got the "Scarface" tub.
156
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:48,836
It's got gold jets.
157
00:05:48,836 --> 00:05:51,491
Look at the rusted vent
for those jets.
158
00:05:51,491 --> 00:05:53,594
I'ma need a shot.
159
00:05:53,594 --> 00:05:57,353
The space allows us to do
what needs to be done in here.
160
00:05:57,353 --> 00:05:58,801
We've got a his-and-hers closet.
161
00:05:58,801 --> 00:06:00,043
That's what I was
gonna say-- two closets.
162
00:06:00,043 --> 00:06:03,318
This shower is tiny, though.
163
00:06:03,318 --> 00:06:04,698
I'm almost touching the ceiling,
164
00:06:04,698 --> 00:06:06,525
and you've got rust here
with the light,
165
00:06:06,525 --> 00:06:08,939
so we're gonna have to deal
with this shower...
166
00:06:08,939 --> 00:06:10,318
It's nasty.
167
00:06:10,318 --> 00:06:12,318
...and maybe put, like,
a standalone tub in here.
168
00:06:12,318 --> 00:06:14,180
If we leave the closets,
then we can do something,
169
00:06:14,180 --> 00:06:17,318
but it needs a lot of work.
170
00:06:17,318 --> 00:06:18,767
- So what's out here?
- Ooh.
171
00:06:18,767 --> 00:06:20,491
Oh, it's a little sunroom.
172
00:06:20,491 --> 00:06:22,939
That's cool to be,
like, right off the primary.
173
00:06:22,939 --> 00:06:24,456
It's pretty nasty.
174
00:06:24,456 --> 00:06:26,215
These windows need get replaced.
175
00:06:26,215 --> 00:06:28,663
A dog's been out here
chewing everything up.
176
00:06:28,663 --> 00:06:30,456
What's in that? Is that, like,
a closet or something?
177
00:06:30,456 --> 00:06:33,801
No, I think it's another...
bedroom,
178
00:06:33,801 --> 00:06:35,249
but it's-- it's locked.
179
00:06:35,249 --> 00:06:37,318
It's, like, lock-locked.
180
00:06:37,318 --> 00:06:39,318
Is that blood on that door?
181
00:06:39,318 --> 00:06:42,284
Oh, man, I was just touching it.
182
00:06:42,284 --> 00:06:43,939
Maybe there's a body over there.
183
00:06:43,939 --> 00:06:46,491
You just like terrifying me!
184
00:06:46,491 --> 00:06:49,387
Oh, bullets!
185
00:06:49,387 --> 00:06:52,525
That might explain
why the door's locked.
186
00:06:52,525 --> 00:06:54,939
This is the door to that room,
but this is an outside door.
187
00:06:54,939 --> 00:06:56,732
It's a steel door.
188
00:06:57,870 --> 00:06:59,353
What the hell is
in that little room?
189
00:06:59,353 --> 00:07:01,456
Yeah, I'm gonna need to get
the sledgehammer.
190
00:07:01,456 --> 00:07:02,870
Let's bust this [bleep] open.
191
00:07:02,870 --> 00:07:04,043
- We need to get in there.
- Yeah, I'll be right back.
192
00:07:04,043 --> 00:07:05,663
Alright.
193
00:07:07,732 --> 00:07:09,732
What if there really is
a body behind the door?
194
00:07:09,732 --> 00:07:12,284
Whatever it is, we own it.
This is really creepy.
195
00:07:12,284 --> 00:07:13,732
I got your door breaker
right here.
196
00:07:13,732 --> 00:07:15,732
What in the world?
Let me get back,
197
00:07:15,732 --> 00:07:17,146
'cause you don't know
what you're doing.
198
00:07:17,146 --> 00:07:18,525
Yeah, I'm about to have
a hurt back after this.
199
00:07:18,525 --> 00:07:19,387
Just open the door!
200
00:07:19,387 --> 00:07:21,146
Are you ready?
201
00:07:21,146 --> 00:07:22,284
Oh!
202
00:07:22,284 --> 00:07:25,215
What's in there?!
203
00:07:25,215 --> 00:07:26,974
Oh, you're gonna wanna
come in here.
204
00:07:26,974 --> 00:07:29,974
- We got a greenhouse.
- This is wild!
205
00:07:33,594 --> 00:07:35,836
I guess this is
the fourth bedroom.
206
00:07:35,836 --> 00:07:37,491
- Yep.
- And it looks like this wall
207
00:07:37,491 --> 00:07:39,732
here was put up as a partition,
208
00:07:39,732 --> 00:07:41,249
and then this was turned into
209
00:07:41,249 --> 00:07:44,249
some sort of
horticulture situation.
210
00:07:44,249 --> 00:07:46,318
Yeah. Smells good.
211
00:07:46,318 --> 00:07:48,870
This is, like,
for hydroponic plants?
212
00:07:48,870 --> 00:07:50,353
Yeah.
- Something tells me it's not,
213
00:07:50,353 --> 00:07:52,525
like, monsteras and ivies.
214
00:07:52,525 --> 00:07:55,456
You've got fans.
You've ventilation.
215
00:07:55,456 --> 00:07:57,732
Sprinkler systems?
Uh-huh.
216
00:07:57,732 --> 00:07:59,939
These are, like,
industrial growing lights.
217
00:07:59,939 --> 00:08:03,043
Yeah, this is serious stuff.
It's definitely a greenhouse.
218
00:08:04,939 --> 00:08:06,663
Our very own grow house.
219
00:08:06,663 --> 00:08:09,215
I expected to find something
like this in California,
220
00:08:09,215 --> 00:08:11,008
but, man, not Texas.
221
00:08:11,008 --> 00:08:13,870
Needless to say, we're turning
this into a bedroom.
222
00:08:13,870 --> 00:08:16,456
Look at the back.
223
00:08:16,456 --> 00:08:19,801
This doesn't even feel
like the same house.
224
00:08:19,801 --> 00:08:22,249
The front yard was so beautiful.
225
00:08:22,249 --> 00:08:24,284
This is weeds gone wild.
226
00:08:24,284 --> 00:08:27,801
The steps are all cracked.
227
00:08:27,801 --> 00:08:31,422
Man, but look at
that pool, though.
228
00:08:31,422 --> 00:08:32,767
Ready to go for a swim?
229
00:08:32,767 --> 00:08:36,456
No! It's tadpoles, okay?
230
00:08:36,456 --> 00:08:39,353
It's freaking--
This is like a small ecosystem.
231
00:08:39,353 --> 00:08:41,008
Alright, come on.
232
00:08:43,560 --> 00:08:46,284
This is why we don't
buy houses with a pool.
233
00:08:46,284 --> 00:08:50,111
This is one of those gigantic
Olympic-sized, like, '90s pools.
234
00:08:50,111 --> 00:08:53,456
Expense out here
could be $100,000
235
00:08:53,456 --> 00:08:56,146
just to repair the decking
in this pool,
236
00:08:56,146 --> 00:08:57,939
as well as pool equipment.
237
00:08:57,939 --> 00:09:00,318
I budgeted $50,000 for the yard,
238
00:09:00,318 --> 00:09:02,111
which includes the pool.
239
00:09:02,111 --> 00:09:04,594
If it becomes too pricey
when we get our pool quotes,
240
00:09:04,594 --> 00:09:06,974
why don't we just fill it in,
make a sports court out here--
241
00:09:06,974 --> 00:09:08,870
tennis court, pickle ball,
you name it.
242
00:09:08,870 --> 00:09:10,215
There's a lot of options.
243
00:09:10,215 --> 00:09:11,284
Look at this way right--
244
00:09:11,284 --> 00:09:13,801
so we bought it for $295,000.
245
00:09:13,801 --> 00:09:16,249
I'd say after walking it,
we could put $100,000,
246
00:09:16,249 --> 00:09:19,387
maybe $120,000 max into it.
247
00:09:19,387 --> 00:09:21,698
You already know the ARV's
$550,000, $560,000.
248
00:09:21,698 --> 00:09:24,249
Even with all these problems,
this will be a great deal.
249
00:09:24,249 --> 00:09:26,939
So, timeline-wise, how long
do you think it's gonna take?
250
00:09:26,939 --> 00:09:28,249
It's a big house.
251
00:09:28,249 --> 00:09:30,111
90 days, depending on
how the foundation goes.
252
00:09:30,111 --> 00:09:32,491
Well, let's call the guys
and get them started.
253
00:09:32,491 --> 00:09:34,594
- Let's get this pool quote.
- I'm scared!
254
00:09:34,594 --> 00:09:36,422
You know it's gonna be fine.
255
00:09:36,422 --> 00:09:39,422
We purchased this property
for $295,000.
256
00:09:39,422 --> 00:09:41,732
Our reno budget is 120K
257
00:09:41,732 --> 00:09:45,732
with estimated
closing costs at $24,750.
258
00:09:45,732 --> 00:09:49,801
Our loan interest
will be $11,925,
259
00:09:49,801 --> 00:09:54,974
which puts us all in
at $451,675.
260
00:09:54,974 --> 00:09:57,836
So if we can sell it
for $550,000,
261
00:09:57,836 --> 00:10:01,249
we can make a profit of $98,325.
262
00:10:04,318 --> 00:10:06,215
We will begin with opening up
263
00:10:06,215 --> 00:10:08,249
the formal dining room
on both sides
264
00:10:08,249 --> 00:10:09,836
and build unique archways
265
00:10:09,836 --> 00:10:12,077
to the front entrance
and kitchen.
266
00:10:12,077 --> 00:10:13,905
We're going to remove
the window and door
267
00:10:13,905 --> 00:10:16,111
between the living and sunroom
and replace them
268
00:10:16,111 --> 00:10:19,939
with beautiful French doors
to better connect the spaces.
269
00:10:19,939 --> 00:10:22,180
The wall between the breakfast
nook and living room
270
00:10:22,180 --> 00:10:25,043
will also come down
to create a sizable kitchen
271
00:10:25,043 --> 00:10:28,594
that is worthy of the space.
272
00:10:28,594 --> 00:10:30,387
Derek may not approve,
but that "Scarface" tub
273
00:10:30,387 --> 00:10:33,215
in the primary bathroom
has got to go.
274
00:10:33,215 --> 00:10:36,249
It's going to be replaced
with a beautiful walk-in shower
275
00:10:36,249 --> 00:10:38,456
and an oversized soaking tub.
276
00:10:38,456 --> 00:10:41,008
On the outside, we're going to
stucco over the brick
277
00:10:41,008 --> 00:10:42,491
in the front of the house,
278
00:10:42,491 --> 00:10:45,870
spruce up the landscaping,
and replace all of the windows.
279
00:10:49,767 --> 00:10:51,249
Let's get it.
280
00:10:51,249 --> 00:10:54,318
It's demo day, and Chauncey
and I are doing our part.
281
00:10:54,318 --> 00:10:56,353
I'm removing the drywall
from the kitchen
282
00:10:56,353 --> 00:10:58,111
and formal dining room wall.
283
00:10:58,111 --> 00:11:00,560
We're also getting rid of
that ugly built-in cabinet
284
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:02,732
in the breakfast nook.
285
00:11:02,732 --> 00:11:05,215
All of the cabinets
in the kitchen must go,
286
00:11:05,215 --> 00:11:07,456
as well as the chandelier
and crown molding
287
00:11:07,456 --> 00:11:09,491
in the formal dining room.
288
00:11:09,491 --> 00:11:11,836
Meanwhile, Chauncey is
taking out her aggression
289
00:11:11,836 --> 00:11:14,249
on the tile
in the guest bathroom.
290
00:11:18,249 --> 00:11:20,111
We hired a foundation company,
291
00:11:20,111 --> 00:11:22,111
and they've confirmed
the cracks on the wall
292
00:11:22,111 --> 00:11:24,318
are from a faulty foundation.
293
00:11:24,318 --> 00:11:27,525
Every room in the house
is gonna need new piers.
294
00:11:27,525 --> 00:11:29,215
This is gonna be
a huge undertaking
295
00:11:29,215 --> 00:11:32,939
and take well over a week
to complete.
296
00:11:32,939 --> 00:11:34,870
Step one-- insert the piers
297
00:11:34,870 --> 00:11:36,594
around the perimeter
of the house
298
00:11:36,594 --> 00:11:39,974
to fortify and level
the foundation.
299
00:11:39,974 --> 00:11:42,387
Step two--
the crew heads inside
300
00:11:42,387 --> 00:11:44,077
and starts digging up the floors
301
00:11:44,077 --> 00:11:46,525
and installing the piers
throughout the house.
302
00:11:46,525 --> 00:11:50,491
With all the piers in place,
the guys are refilling the holes
303
00:11:50,491 --> 00:11:52,077
and covering them with concrete
304
00:11:52,077 --> 00:11:54,077
in preparation for the subfloor.
305
00:11:54,077 --> 00:11:55,974
Now that the foundation
is level,
306
00:11:55,974 --> 00:11:59,663
we can finally start bringing
this zombie house back to life.
307
00:12:11,698 --> 00:12:14,525
Come on, Derek, we need to
talk about this kitchen.
308
00:12:14,525 --> 00:12:16,629
Kitchens, bath-- that's where
we make our money.
309
00:12:16,629 --> 00:12:19,353
And so this layout
is kind of a doozy.
310
00:12:19,353 --> 00:12:20,905
Let's hear your grand plan.
311
00:12:20,905 --> 00:12:22,560
- Envision this.
- Okay.
312
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:26,732
The idea here is to use
the old kitchen
313
00:12:26,732 --> 00:12:29,387
as well as utilize
the breakfast nook area
314
00:12:29,387 --> 00:12:30,974
and make one big, giant kitchen.
315
00:12:30,974 --> 00:12:33,180
This entire wall here comes out.
316
00:12:33,180 --> 00:12:35,146
Okay.
317
00:12:35,146 --> 00:12:39,387
And we put a giant
island right here in the middle
318
00:12:39,387 --> 00:12:41,422
and it has
a waterfall countertop,
319
00:12:41,422 --> 00:12:44,249
and it's overlooking
this bay window.
320
00:12:44,249 --> 00:12:46,974
We could fit probably
a 42-inch range
321
00:12:46,974 --> 00:12:48,629
right here in the middle.
322
00:12:48,629 --> 00:12:50,663
Keep these upper windows.
323
00:12:50,663 --> 00:12:53,077
and we could put cabinets
on either side.
324
00:12:53,077 --> 00:12:55,456
You'll have your countertops,
have your range hood.
325
00:12:55,456 --> 00:12:56,905
It's not gonna obstruct
the floor
326
00:12:56,905 --> 00:13:00,043
because it's obviously
recessed back into the window.
327
00:13:00,043 --> 00:13:02,215
I mean, I'm gonna say that
that sounds cool.
328
00:13:02,215 --> 00:13:04,422
Looking at that being blown out,
that makes sense.
329
00:13:04,422 --> 00:13:06,974
I love the view, but then
closing in the bay window--
330
00:13:06,974 --> 00:13:09,008
I don't know about that.
331
00:13:09,008 --> 00:13:10,560
You're talking about
42-inch range.
332
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:12,043
Those things are expensive.
333
00:13:12,043 --> 00:13:15,284
I mean, I was hoping to do
this kitchen for like 12 grand.
334
00:13:15,284 --> 00:13:17,629
This doesn't sound like
a $12,000 plan.
335
00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:25,077
Okay, well, maybe we do like
a 30- or 36-inch range.
336
00:13:25,077 --> 00:13:26,215
That's fine.
337
00:13:26,215 --> 00:13:27,870
So then what happens
to this wall?
338
00:13:27,870 --> 00:13:29,560
- We take this wall out...
- Okay.
339
00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:31,180
...up until here.
340
00:13:31,180 --> 00:13:32,905
Oh, wow.
341
00:13:32,905 --> 00:13:34,525
We've got a refrigerator here.
342
00:13:34,525 --> 00:13:36,353
We've got cabinet lowers here.
343
00:13:36,353 --> 00:13:38,732
We can do
a freestanding pantry here
344
00:13:38,732 --> 00:13:41,353
that's about 48 inches wide.
345
00:13:41,353 --> 00:13:43,008
I mean, this is the type
of kitchen, though,
346
00:13:43,008 --> 00:13:45,456
that would belong in a house
that's this big, this size.
347
00:13:45,456 --> 00:13:47,939
Yeah! We're not adding anything.
We're just using it better.
348
00:13:47,939 --> 00:13:49,767
- Right.
- I've already had Juan check.
349
00:13:49,767 --> 00:13:52,870
He can run a LVL,
get a header right up here.
350
00:13:52,870 --> 00:13:54,249
- Okay.
- It won't cost us much at all.
351
00:13:54,249 --> 00:13:56,629
We don't need to get an
architect or anything in here,
352
00:13:56,629 --> 00:13:57,836
and we're good.
353
00:13:57,836 --> 00:13:58,836
Wow. This kitchen's
gonna be huge.
354
00:13:58,836 --> 00:14:01,905
It's gonna be a big-ass kitchen.
355
00:14:01,905 --> 00:14:05,180
So you're selling me
on the layout, but...
356
00:14:05,180 --> 00:14:07,801
I don't know how much money.
But the designs gonna work.
357
00:14:07,801 --> 00:14:09,594
Mm. Alright.
358
00:14:09,594 --> 00:14:11,594
You get the design.
I get the budget.
359
00:14:11,594 --> 00:14:13,180
I'll make it work.
360
00:14:15,801 --> 00:14:18,491
Now that Derek and I have a plan
for the kitchen,
361
00:14:18,491 --> 00:14:20,353
the crew immediately
gets to work
362
00:14:20,353 --> 00:14:22,629
installing the LVL beam
between the living room
363
00:14:22,629 --> 00:14:24,284
and informal dining room.
364
00:14:26,525 --> 00:14:28,629
They're also opening up
the house entryway
365
00:14:28,629 --> 00:14:31,905
to the formal dining room
and adding another LVL beam
366
00:14:31,905 --> 00:14:34,422
to give a more open feel
to the front entrance.
367
00:14:37,353 --> 00:14:39,870
Demolition continues
in the primary bathroom,
368
00:14:39,870 --> 00:14:41,146
and we're saying farewell
369
00:14:41,146 --> 00:14:44,111
to the 1980s-style
"Scarface" tub.
370
00:14:44,111 --> 00:14:47,836
Now that it's gone, the crew
starts reframing the en suite.
371
00:14:47,836 --> 00:14:51,974
The grow room-- I mean,
greenhouse is a clean slate
372
00:14:51,974 --> 00:14:55,491
and is ready to be transformed
back into a bedroom.
373
00:14:55,491 --> 00:14:57,249
Meanwhile, skim coating
is under way
374
00:14:57,249 --> 00:14:58,663
in the two guest bedrooms,
375
00:14:58,663 --> 00:15:01,836
and the electricians are
starting to rewire the house.
376
00:15:03,594 --> 00:15:06,353
The outside of the house
is getting a facelift as well,
377
00:15:06,353 --> 00:15:08,491
and we're cladding over
the brick-front exterior
378
00:15:08,491 --> 00:15:10,387
for a more contemporary look.
379
00:15:13,111 --> 00:15:14,974
We're only three weeks
into our 90-day flip,
380
00:15:14,974 --> 00:15:18,767
and the foundation was
an $8,000 hit that we expected.
381
00:15:18,767 --> 00:15:20,801
But to stay on track, we're
gonna have to fill in the pool
382
00:15:20,801 --> 00:15:24,180
because we found out it's gonna
be 60 grand just to repair it.
383
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,594
That's over the $50,000
I budgeted for the entire yard.
384
00:15:29,594 --> 00:15:34,284
We've spent just over $30,000
out of $120,000 budget,
385
00:15:34,284 --> 00:15:38,043
which means we've got just under
90 grand left to work with.
386
00:15:42,836 --> 00:15:44,146
I'm heading over to Carriage
387
00:15:44,146 --> 00:15:46,111
to take some measurements
in the kitchen.
388
00:15:46,111 --> 00:15:47,663
We have a lot of stuff to order,
389
00:15:47,663 --> 00:15:50,318
and I'm trying to do my part
to keep this flip on schedule.
390
00:15:52,525 --> 00:15:54,801
No. No, no, no, no.
391
00:15:58,284 --> 00:16:00,215
No!
392
00:16:01,974 --> 00:16:04,870
Stop work order?
Dammit!
393
00:16:04,870 --> 00:16:08,249
I've gotta call Derek, let him
know we've been shut down.
394
00:16:10,249 --> 00:16:14,180
Ugh.
No, this cannot be happening!
395
00:16:14,180 --> 00:16:16,353
- Hey.
- I'm at Carriage,
396
00:16:16,353 --> 00:16:18,939
and there's a freaking
stop-work order on the door.
397
00:16:18,939 --> 00:16:21,698
I thought that we were getting
permits for this house,
398
00:16:21,698 --> 00:16:23,215
so I didn't think
this would be a problem.
399
00:16:23,215 --> 00:16:26,249
Yeah, Albert just
called me about this.
400
00:16:26,249 --> 00:16:28,387
Our permits were filed,
but they were on hold
401
00:16:28,387 --> 00:16:30,318
pending blueprints
from our drafter.
402
00:16:30,318 --> 00:16:33,215
A neighbor complained about the
construction noise to the city,
403
00:16:33,215 --> 00:16:36,525
so they shut us down until
we submit our final plans.
404
00:16:36,525 --> 00:16:38,974
But we're also having issues
with the drafter.
405
00:16:38,974 --> 00:16:40,905
But we had already
started the process
406
00:16:40,905 --> 00:16:43,560
'cause we had plans
drawn up and stuff.
407
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,836
The drafter
was taking forever
408
00:16:45,836 --> 00:16:49,249
and came back with a price
that was like
409
00:16:49,249 --> 00:16:51,560
triple the price
the last time that we used him,
410
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,698
so we were holding off
to go on
411
00:16:53,698 --> 00:16:56,077
and somebody else get out there
and get another quote.
412
00:16:56,077 --> 00:16:57,767
But now that
we're at a standstill,
413
00:16:57,767 --> 00:17:00,353
we need to decide if we're
gonna use a different drafter
414
00:17:00,353 --> 00:17:01,836
or pay his inflated fee.
415
00:17:01,836 --> 00:17:03,249
We need to get that part
handled
416
00:17:03,249 --> 00:17:05,043
to be able to get this lifted.
417
00:17:05,043 --> 00:17:06,594
Holding cost on this bad boy
is what?
418
00:17:06,594 --> 00:17:08,870
We're talking
close to 4K a month.
419
00:17:08,870 --> 00:17:11,456
4 grand a month?
This house is expensive as hell.
420
00:17:11,456 --> 00:17:15,043
So how long extra do you think
that this is going to take?
421
00:17:15,043 --> 00:17:17,043
Is that gonna, like,
add to our bottom line
422
00:17:17,043 --> 00:17:18,905
and increase the cost?
423
00:17:18,905 --> 00:17:20,249
If we need
to get a new drafter,
424
00:17:20,249 --> 00:17:22,387
then we're starting
the process over.
425
00:17:22,387 --> 00:17:24,663
I mean, you know,
a couple weeks then
426
00:17:24,663 --> 00:17:26,318
dealing with the city.
427
00:17:31,422 --> 00:17:33,008
We definitely wanna go
the fast route, so, you know,
428
00:17:33,008 --> 00:17:36,974
if it's $1,800 or so to pay
for this drafter at the end,
429
00:17:36,974 --> 00:17:39,249
it's triple the price,
but, you know, we just do it,
430
00:17:39,249 --> 00:17:42,422
and we should be able to start
work within a couple of days.
431
00:17:42,422 --> 00:17:45,249
Let's do that. We gotta get
a move on this house.
432
00:17:45,249 --> 00:17:46,594
Please don't tell me
that this extra money
433
00:17:46,594 --> 00:17:48,870
has to come out
of my design budget?
434
00:17:48,870 --> 00:17:50,732
I mean, everything comes out
of your design budget.
435
00:17:50,732 --> 00:17:51,939
- Okay, I'm gonna--
- All the surprises.
436
00:17:51,939 --> 00:17:54,146
Okay, I'm gonna hang up
on you now. Goodbye.
437
00:17:54,146 --> 00:17:56,249
- Good talk.
- Goodbye. Good talk.
438
00:18:04,698 --> 00:18:06,594
We paid the original drafter,
439
00:18:06,594 --> 00:18:09,008
and he submitted plans
to the city for approval.
440
00:18:09,008 --> 00:18:10,249
It's been a couple of days,
441
00:18:10,249 --> 00:18:12,663
and we're hoping to be
back to work soon.
442
00:18:12,663 --> 00:18:15,387
Although nothing is happening
on the inside of the house,
443
00:18:15,387 --> 00:18:18,422
Chauncey is meeting with Mike
and Warren from Texas Lawns.
444
00:18:18,422 --> 00:18:21,318
I have to admit that Chauncey
was right about the pool.
445
00:18:21,318 --> 00:18:23,905
It's a budget buster,
and we have to fill it in.
446
00:18:23,905 --> 00:18:26,111
We're hoping that Mike
and Warren have some creative
447
00:18:26,111 --> 00:18:30,353
and reasonably priced options
for our backyard and pool area.
448
00:18:30,353 --> 00:18:31,663
This is the easy part.
449
00:18:31,663 --> 00:18:32,905
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
450
00:18:32,905 --> 00:18:36,077
I've got the hard part...
right here.
451
00:18:36,077 --> 00:18:38,801
Oh, my God!
Holy cow.
452
00:18:38,801 --> 00:18:41,008
Yeah, it's big and nasty.
You wanna go swimming?
453
00:18:41,008 --> 00:18:43,215
I know it's hot, but I'm not
jumping in that. No way!
454
00:18:43,215 --> 00:18:45,456
It's so gross,
and it's so massive...
455
00:18:45,456 --> 00:18:47,043
It is.
456
00:18:47,043 --> 00:18:48,629
...that after we got quotes for
it, like, we just can't keep it.
457
00:18:48,629 --> 00:18:50,043
It just doesn't make any sense,
458
00:18:50,043 --> 00:18:53,456
so we're gonna demo out
this whole thing and fill it in.
459
00:18:53,456 --> 00:18:56,043
That being said, I've gotta
figure out what to do with this,
460
00:18:56,043 --> 00:18:58,732
like, second backyard space.
461
00:18:58,732 --> 00:19:00,767
This could be
a really cool feature
462
00:19:00,767 --> 00:19:02,939
and add some value to the house.
What do you think?
463
00:19:02,939 --> 00:19:05,008
We could do sod.
464
00:19:05,008 --> 00:19:07,801
You're looking about a dollar
a foot, finished yard.
465
00:19:07,801 --> 00:19:09,905
We'll have to do some upgrades
to the irrigation system.
466
00:19:09,905 --> 00:19:11,456
- Not a big deal.
- Okay.
467
00:19:11,456 --> 00:19:14,939
But this area really looks like
it should have a putting green.
468
00:19:14,939 --> 00:19:16,560
How much is turf?
469
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,111
Well on a golf green,
you're looking somewhere
470
00:19:19,111 --> 00:19:21,318
between $17 to $21 a foot.
471
00:19:21,318 --> 00:19:23,629
What do you think
all this square footage is?
472
00:19:23,629 --> 00:19:24,870
You're gonna be
somewhere between
473
00:19:24,870 --> 00:19:26,146
7,000 and 8,000 square foot.
474
00:19:26,146 --> 00:19:28,939
Excuse me?
475
00:19:28,939 --> 00:19:30,939
No! Absolutely not, Mike.
476
00:19:30,939 --> 00:19:33,353
Like, I could get two new pools
for that price.
477
00:19:33,353 --> 00:19:35,870
Like, absolutely not.
So that's not gonna work.
478
00:19:35,870 --> 00:19:37,939
But if we can find
some middle ground,
479
00:19:37,939 --> 00:19:40,146
like, maybe cheaper turf?
480
00:19:40,146 --> 00:19:42,146
Write it up for me--
write up the sod option,
481
00:19:42,146 --> 00:19:44,318
write up
the putting-green option--
482
00:19:44,318 --> 00:19:46,767
and then I think
I can push Derek
483
00:19:46,767 --> 00:19:48,456
and swing him
in one direction or another,
484
00:19:48,456 --> 00:19:50,422
but I gotta have
some numbers in front of me.
485
00:19:50,422 --> 00:19:52,284
I really wasn't sure about
this house at the beginning,
486
00:19:52,284 --> 00:19:53,629
but I am now.
487
00:19:53,629 --> 00:19:55,732
This house is gonna be fabulous
when we finish it,
488
00:19:55,732 --> 00:19:57,525
and the backyard has to match.
489
00:19:57,525 --> 00:20:00,629
$17 a square foot is a lot,
I know, but Mike and Warren
490
00:20:00,629 --> 00:20:02,215
are gonna come up
with some incredible numbers
491
00:20:02,215 --> 00:20:04,008
that I know I can
get Derek to approve.
492
00:20:04,008 --> 00:20:05,215
Write it up and let's see
what we can do.
493
00:20:05,215 --> 00:20:06,491
We will do it, no problem.
494
00:20:06,491 --> 00:20:08,043
Thanks for coming out.
495
00:20:10,111 --> 00:20:11,491
And after a one-week delay,
496
00:20:11,491 --> 00:20:13,249
the work permit
finally got approved,
497
00:20:13,249 --> 00:20:15,111
and it won't affect
our timeline.
498
00:20:15,111 --> 00:20:17,594
Before my landscaping
can happen in the backyard,
499
00:20:17,594 --> 00:20:19,353
the crew gets busy
cleaning it up,
500
00:20:19,353 --> 00:20:22,974
mowing the lawn,
and whacking the weeds.
501
00:20:22,974 --> 00:20:25,318
The carpenter is fixing
the rotten soffit boards
502
00:20:25,318 --> 00:20:27,974
on the outside of the house,
while on the inside,
503
00:20:27,974 --> 00:20:30,629
our new kitchen layout
is beginning to take shape.
504
00:20:30,629 --> 00:20:32,560
We putting up new drywall
throughout the house
505
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,215
so there won't be any more
cracks in the walls
506
00:20:34,215 --> 00:20:37,043
and ceilings,
and skim coating is under way.
507
00:20:38,870 --> 00:20:40,111
On the other side of the kitchen
508
00:20:40,111 --> 00:20:41,732
in the former
breakfast-nook area,
509
00:20:41,732 --> 00:20:43,560
they're digging holes
to lay new plumbing pipes
510
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,663
for the kitchen sink
and dishwasher
511
00:20:45,663 --> 00:20:48,111
that will be housed
in the gigantic island.
512
00:20:54,663 --> 00:20:56,111
So, yeah, so, babe,
513
00:20:56,111 --> 00:20:59,284
do you wanna talk
a little bit about the kitchen?
514
00:20:59,284 --> 00:21:00,629
Yeah, run me through the layout.
515
00:21:00,629 --> 00:21:02,801
A range hood in front
of a bay window--
516
00:21:02,801 --> 00:21:04,491
that's a new design feature
for us,
517
00:21:04,491 --> 00:21:06,491
so we're meeting with Chad
from Maverick Windows
518
00:21:06,491 --> 00:21:07,801
to discuss the best option
519
00:21:07,801 --> 00:21:11,422
for this extremely large
luxury kitchen.
520
00:21:11,422 --> 00:21:14,249
What are we gonna do
with that big opening?
521
00:21:14,249 --> 00:21:17,491
Yeah. I finally convinced this
guy to let me do something fun,
522
00:21:17,491 --> 00:21:19,456
so this is gonna be
the money shot of the house.
523
00:21:19,456 --> 00:21:21,318
I'm gonna have
a big, giant island right here
524
00:21:21,318 --> 00:21:22,939
with some pendants hanging down,
525
00:21:22,939 --> 00:21:26,008
and you'll essentially
be overlooking the range here.
526
00:21:26,008 --> 00:21:27,663
So that will not be
a kitchen sink?
527
00:21:27,663 --> 00:21:28,939
No.
- Okay.
528
00:21:28,939 --> 00:21:31,043
That is going to be the range.
529
00:21:31,043 --> 00:21:35,629
I want natural light to come in,
so I need some windows for it.
530
00:21:35,629 --> 00:21:37,594
Yeah, you need
some windows for it.
531
00:21:37,594 --> 00:21:40,077
It's a great vision, but that's
gonna be a custom project,
532
00:21:40,077 --> 00:21:42,594
and obviously that's gonna
increase our lead time
533
00:21:42,594 --> 00:21:44,043
as well as the cost.
534
00:21:44,043 --> 00:21:46,111
Are you wanting these windows
to go up and down,
535
00:21:46,111 --> 00:21:48,318
side to side,
or just big picture windows?
536
00:21:48,318 --> 00:21:50,043
I want them to be
as cheap as possible.
537
00:21:50,043 --> 00:21:53,905
We could go to
a single hung window,
538
00:21:53,905 --> 00:21:56,318
and that would eliminate
tempered glass.
539
00:21:56,318 --> 00:21:58,284
What's the damage for
the rest of the house been?
540
00:21:58,284 --> 00:22:00,491
So 20 windows total
for the whole house.
541
00:22:00,491 --> 00:22:03,387
About $18,000 to $21,000.
542
00:22:03,387 --> 00:22:04,870
This is already open,
so we gotta make it happen.
543
00:22:04,870 --> 00:22:06,870
Yeah, we gotta get these windows
in ASAP.
544
00:22:06,870 --> 00:22:08,215
- Alright. Cool.
- Alright, bro.
545
00:22:08,215 --> 00:22:09,491
We better jump on it.
- Let's do it.
546
00:22:09,491 --> 00:22:10,629
- Let's get to it.
- Alright, let's get to it.
547
00:22:10,629 --> 00:22:12,008
Write it up.
548
00:22:12,008 --> 00:22:13,111
Write the check, Derek.
549
00:22:13,111 --> 00:22:14,870
Yeah, I'm writing that check.
550
00:22:14,870 --> 00:22:16,180
I'll take the money.
551
00:22:20,732 --> 00:22:22,629
The floor-to-ceiling
Panoramic Doors
552
00:22:22,629 --> 00:22:23,939
for the sunroom arrive,
553
00:22:23,939 --> 00:22:27,594
and painting begins
in the living room.
554
00:22:27,594 --> 00:22:31,387
Meanwhile, new windows go in
throughout the entire house,
555
00:22:31,387 --> 00:22:33,939
the bay window area
in the kitchen is closed off,
556
00:22:33,939 --> 00:22:35,560
and the windows
overlooking the yard
557
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,594
give the kitchen a luxurious
and unique feel.
558
00:22:39,594 --> 00:22:41,801
The kitchen cabinets
from Nelson Cabinets arrive,
559
00:22:41,801 --> 00:22:45,077
and the crew gets busy
putting them together.
560
00:22:45,077 --> 00:22:48,180
The kitchen is going to have
plenty of storage.
561
00:22:48,180 --> 00:22:50,836
Stuccoing the fireplace
and hearth is under way,
562
00:22:50,836 --> 00:22:52,870
giving it a sleek, modern look.
563
00:23:03,318 --> 00:23:06,215
Damn. This landscaping,
definitely needs a lot of love.
564
00:23:06,215 --> 00:23:07,663
Giant holes still.
565
00:23:07,663 --> 00:23:09,801
We're on the back nine
of the flip, and Chauncey and I
566
00:23:09,801 --> 00:23:12,870
are stopping by Carriage to take
another look at the pool.
567
00:23:12,870 --> 00:23:16,491
We need to decide soon
what we're gonna do with it.
568
00:23:16,491 --> 00:23:19,491
Yeah, it is a disaster
back here.
569
00:23:19,491 --> 00:23:21,387
Yeah, it's a big, giant mess.
570
00:23:21,387 --> 00:23:22,801
Yeah, it's awful.
571
00:23:22,801 --> 00:23:24,836
This is why I hate
buying houses with pools.
572
00:23:24,836 --> 00:23:26,284
- Yep.
- What are the quotes
573
00:23:26,284 --> 00:23:28,077
that we've got at this point
to fill in the damn thing?
574
00:23:28,077 --> 00:23:31,111
We're talking $25,000,
$30,000, $35,000.
575
00:23:31,111 --> 00:23:32,353
To just demo the pool?
576
00:23:32,353 --> 00:23:33,939
Yeah, and drill some holes.
577
00:23:33,939 --> 00:23:37,008
$25,000 to $35,000?
We don't have it in the budget!
578
00:23:41,491 --> 00:23:42,767
I mean, we don't have it
in the budget.
579
00:23:42,767 --> 00:23:44,525
I mean, let's not forget
that's just demoing this, right?
580
00:23:44,525 --> 00:23:45,974
That's not including
the landscaping
581
00:23:45,974 --> 00:23:47,318
that we're gonna do here, too.
582
00:23:47,318 --> 00:23:49,008
I actually heard back
from Texas Lawns,
583
00:23:49,008 --> 00:23:51,249
and after we fill in the pool,
they can do the landscaping,
584
00:23:51,249 --> 00:23:53,594
including a putting green
for $27,000.
585
00:23:53,594 --> 00:23:55,353
If we went with
one of those quotes
586
00:23:55,353 --> 00:23:57,629
and what we would need to do
back here landscaping-wise,
587
00:23:57,629 --> 00:24:00,663
we're probably talking
close to $50,000.
588
00:24:00,663 --> 00:24:02,111
So what do we do?
589
00:24:02,111 --> 00:24:04,698
Well, we have one more pool bid
that we're waiting on.
590
00:24:04,698 --> 00:24:06,560
We gotta get on this right away.
591
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,974
Getting this thing demoed
is gonna take some time.
592
00:24:08,974 --> 00:24:10,594
We're gonna need
a Hail Mary or something,
593
00:24:10,594 --> 00:24:13,215
'cause we are not paying
$50,000 for this.
594
00:24:13,215 --> 00:24:15,215
We budgeted 50K
for the whole yard
595
00:24:15,215 --> 00:24:17,008
and just 5K for the pool demo.
596
00:24:17,008 --> 00:24:19,215
These quotes--
they're way over budget.
597
00:24:19,215 --> 00:24:21,560
Here goes Albert.
598
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:22,801
Albert?
599
00:24:22,801 --> 00:24:23,801
Hey, what's going on, man?
600
00:24:23,801 --> 00:24:25,422
We're over here at Carriage.
601
00:24:25,422 --> 00:24:27,249
That's what I'm calling
about, actually.
602
00:24:27,249 --> 00:24:31,318
I got the last bid back
for the pool demo.
603
00:24:31,318 --> 00:24:32,870
Okay.
604
00:24:32,870 --> 00:24:34,491
We had that third dude
we were waiting on.
605
00:24:34,491 --> 00:24:36,905
He started off a little higher,
but we got him down to $9,000.
606
00:24:36,905 --> 00:24:38,353
I think that's a deal.
607
00:24:38,353 --> 00:24:39,905
It's probably gonna be
as good as we can get.
608
00:24:39,905 --> 00:24:42,491
Hell yeah, bro, $9,000-- I mean
that's the best deal so far.
609
00:24:42,491 --> 00:24:44,801
Timeline-wise, how long
is it gonna take?
610
00:24:44,801 --> 00:24:47,111
It'll take between
one and half and two weeks.
611
00:24:47,111 --> 00:24:48,974
Cool. 9K to demo.
612
00:24:48,974 --> 00:24:51,801
We still have to figure out how
much it will cost to fill it.
613
00:24:51,801 --> 00:24:54,456
Then Texas Lawns--
they can take it from there.
614
00:24:54,456 --> 00:24:55,870
- Okay.
- Hell yeah, bro.
615
00:24:55,870 --> 00:24:57,215
Well, yeah,
let's get that scheduled.
616
00:24:57,215 --> 00:24:59,008
Thanks, bro.
Alright, man.
617
00:25:05,974 --> 00:25:07,387
Hey, babe.
618
00:25:07,387 --> 00:25:09,146
I got the water bill
for Carriage.
619
00:25:09,146 --> 00:25:10,732
It's $1,000.
620
00:25:10,732 --> 00:25:12,836
It's a vacant house.
How's it $1,000?
621
00:25:12,836 --> 00:25:14,629
You have a leak
somewhere in the house.
622
00:25:14,629 --> 00:25:17,215
We don't know where.
I called the utility company,
623
00:25:17,215 --> 00:25:19,560
had them come back out,
check the meter.
624
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,318
Even with the water turned off,
there's still a ton of usage.
625
00:25:23,318 --> 00:25:25,043
No, that's not good.
626
00:25:25,043 --> 00:25:26,870
We're talking about
ripping up the floors,
627
00:25:26,870 --> 00:25:29,801
probably having to jackhammer
through the foundation.
628
00:25:29,801 --> 00:25:32,870
And then we still have to fix
the actual plumbing leak.
629
00:25:32,870 --> 00:25:34,698
How much is that gonna cost?!
630
00:25:34,698 --> 00:25:37,836
If it gets ugly,
it could be 10, 20 grand.
631
00:25:37,836 --> 00:25:40,456
I definitely didn't budget for
redoing anything like this
632
00:25:40,456 --> 00:25:41,698
to the plumbing.
633
00:25:41,698 --> 00:25:43,249
The comps are really going up
over there,
634
00:25:43,249 --> 00:25:46,767
so we might be able to list
for a lot higher
635
00:25:46,767 --> 00:25:48,077
than what we were thinking,
636
00:25:48,077 --> 00:25:50,974
in case this is, like,
a freaking catastrophe.
637
00:25:50,974 --> 00:25:52,560
Then we might be able
to recoup some of it
638
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,180
with the ARV going up.
639
00:25:54,180 --> 00:25:55,939
That would be great
'cause right now,
640
00:25:55,939 --> 00:25:57,767
I mean, it's just
not looking good.
641
00:25:57,767 --> 00:26:00,905
Get the guys on it ASAP
and let me know how it goes.
642
00:26:00,905 --> 00:26:02,077
Yep, I'll keep you posted.
643
00:26:02,077 --> 00:26:04,663
Alright, bye, babe.
Bye.
644
00:26:09,284 --> 00:26:12,111
As if we didn't already
have enough budget issues
645
00:26:12,111 --> 00:26:15,801
to worry about, now we've got
a $1,000 water bill,
646
00:26:15,801 --> 00:26:19,180
40,000 gallons of water
used during that billing cycle.
647
00:26:19,180 --> 00:26:21,767
Multiple leaks were discovered
in both the water supply
648
00:26:21,767 --> 00:26:24,560
and drain lines running
beneath the concrete slab
649
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,422
in almost every room
of the house.
650
00:26:28,422 --> 00:26:30,215
And now the crew
is digging up the floors
651
00:26:30,215 --> 00:26:33,180
to replace the plumbing pipes
on the outside of the house
652
00:26:33,180 --> 00:26:36,939
and in the living room,
kitchen, bathrooms,
653
00:26:36,939 --> 00:26:39,663
formal dining room, and sunroom.
654
00:26:39,663 --> 00:26:43,111
It's a lot of work to find and
repair all of the leaky pipes,
655
00:26:43,111 --> 00:26:46,043
and then it still has to be
filled back in again.
656
00:26:48,284 --> 00:26:52,318
In the primary bathroom, the new
larger shower pan is going down.
657
00:26:54,491 --> 00:26:56,698
In the bedrooms,
they're carefully removing
658
00:26:56,698 --> 00:26:58,111
old wood flooring,
659
00:26:58,111 --> 00:27:00,801
grinding down
the uneven concrete floors,
660
00:27:00,801 --> 00:27:03,767
and clearing away the dust
before applying a fresh layer
661
00:27:03,767 --> 00:27:07,043
of concrete
for a smooth, level surface.
662
00:27:13,284 --> 00:27:15,043
Well, babe, how the hell
663
00:27:15,043 --> 00:27:18,043
do we still have holes
all over the floor?
664
00:27:18,043 --> 00:27:20,594
Yeah, they've been digging up
all around the house
665
00:27:20,594 --> 00:27:22,111
to patch up all these leaks,
666
00:27:22,111 --> 00:27:25,008
but it's like you fix one,
another one pops up.
667
00:27:25,008 --> 00:27:26,732
You fix that,
another one pops up,
668
00:27:26,732 --> 00:27:29,801
I mean, essentially, this house,
we came in to do repairs.
669
00:27:29,801 --> 00:27:32,767
It's got all new plumbing
in the entire damn thing.
670
00:27:32,767 --> 00:27:34,111
My God.
671
00:27:34,111 --> 00:27:35,525
I mean, we're still
busting up holes.
672
00:27:35,525 --> 00:27:37,836
After they patched stuff up
from the foundation,
673
00:27:37,836 --> 00:27:40,215
that plumbing budget's
more than doubled, so...
674
00:27:40,215 --> 00:27:42,594
So where are we at now
with the plumbing budget?
675
00:27:42,594 --> 00:27:45,525
I mean, I'd venture to say we're
probably somewhere all-in now
676
00:27:45,525 --> 00:27:49,594
with these repairs, $17,000,
$19,000?
677
00:27:49,594 --> 00:27:50,836
Good grief.
678
00:27:50,836 --> 00:27:52,629
It can definitely help
with the ARV
679
00:27:52,629 --> 00:27:55,215
understanding that, you know,
it has all-new plumbing.
680
00:27:55,215 --> 00:27:56,663
All-new plumbing.
681
00:27:56,663 --> 00:27:58,318
Alright, well, tell them to
patch that [bleep] up
682
00:27:58,318 --> 00:27:59,732
so I can get my kitchen purdy.
683
00:27:59,732 --> 00:28:02,525
Yeah, no doubt.
Make do some floors!
684
00:28:02,525 --> 00:28:04,422
Y'all are killing me.
685
00:28:04,422 --> 00:28:06,387
These plumbing problems
are really causing us
686
00:28:06,387 --> 00:28:08,698
to take enormous hits
to our budget.
687
00:28:08,698 --> 00:28:11,077
We really planned to just
do minor plumbing work,
688
00:28:11,077 --> 00:28:13,249
not re-plumb the entire house.
689
00:28:13,249 --> 00:28:16,008
Man, this increase
is a punch in the gut.
690
00:28:16,008 --> 00:28:19,077
We spent just north of $84,000.
691
00:28:19,077 --> 00:28:22,043
Our reno budget is $120,000.
692
00:28:22,043 --> 00:28:24,215
We still have to demo
and fill in the pool,
693
00:28:24,215 --> 00:28:26,077
landscape the entire yard,
694
00:28:26,077 --> 00:28:28,284
and add a special feature
where the pool is.
695
00:28:28,284 --> 00:28:31,629
Plus, we have to finish
the kitchen and three bathrooms.
696
00:28:31,629 --> 00:28:35,353
We're definitely gonna blow past
our $120,000 reno budget,
697
00:28:35,353 --> 00:28:37,284
and if something else
goes wrong,
698
00:28:37,284 --> 00:28:39,318
who knows what else
we'll end up spending?
699
00:28:39,318 --> 00:28:41,043
Fortunately,
comps in the neighborhood
700
00:28:41,043 --> 00:28:43,525
have been on the rise,
so with that in mind,
701
00:28:43,525 --> 00:28:44,870
we're gonna increase
the list price
702
00:28:44,870 --> 00:28:46,594
to try to recoup
some of the extra cash
703
00:28:46,594 --> 00:28:49,008
it's gonna take
to get this house up to par.
704
00:28:52,043 --> 00:28:53,698
The exterior
transformation of the house
705
00:28:53,698 --> 00:28:56,249
is under way, and the painters
are busy spray-painting
706
00:28:56,249 --> 00:28:58,939
around the newly installed
windows.
707
00:28:58,939 --> 00:29:01,939
The garage door and gutters
are also getting a fresh coat.
708
00:29:04,870 --> 00:29:07,146
In the back of the house,
709
00:29:07,146 --> 00:29:10,732
the sunroom is undergoing
a transformation.
710
00:29:10,732 --> 00:29:12,249
The roof above the wall
of windows
711
00:29:12,249 --> 00:29:14,594
and the exit to yard
is getting removed.
712
00:29:17,353 --> 00:29:19,249
They're reframing it
for the new
713
00:29:19,249 --> 00:29:21,043
floor-to-ceiling Panoramic Doors
714
00:29:21,043 --> 00:29:23,387
that will bring in
even more light.
715
00:29:27,318 --> 00:29:30,698
All three bathrooms
are coming along.
716
00:29:30,698 --> 00:29:32,939
The second bathroom's footprint
is the same,
717
00:29:32,939 --> 00:29:35,767
but now it has
a modern, contemporary feel
718
00:29:35,767 --> 00:29:39,111
with slightly raised tiles
and a niche for bath products.
719
00:29:41,146 --> 00:29:44,146
They're laying the tile floors
in the third bathroom
720
00:29:44,146 --> 00:29:46,767
and primary.
721
00:29:46,767 --> 00:29:49,560
And the recessed lights
are going in the living room.
722
00:29:52,180 --> 00:29:55,146
Now that the Panoramic Doors
are in place,
723
00:29:55,146 --> 00:29:57,594
the crew is close
to finishing the sunroom,
724
00:29:57,594 --> 00:30:00,387
and they're installing
the shingles for the new roof.
725
00:30:09,284 --> 00:30:10,629
It's looking good out here.
726
00:30:10,629 --> 00:30:12,698
Once this is all stucco...
727
00:30:12,698 --> 00:30:14,180
Yeah, I'm gonna like that.
728
00:30:14,180 --> 00:30:16,318
...yeah, it's gonna
look really, really good.
729
00:30:16,318 --> 00:30:18,663
- Whoa!
- Whoa what?
730
00:30:18,663 --> 00:30:20,387
What happened to the arch?
731
00:30:20,387 --> 00:30:23,146
This was a big archway leading
right into the kitchen.
732
00:30:23,146 --> 00:30:25,146
I mean, this was a lot bigger.
733
00:30:25,146 --> 00:30:27,836
What's going on over here?
Who did this?
734
00:30:32,939 --> 00:30:33,974
I told them to do it.
735
00:30:33,974 --> 00:30:35,111
The idea was necessary
for the house.
736
00:30:35,249 --> 00:30:37,663
Babe, this is a giant house,
and it didn't have any type of,
737
00:30:37,663 --> 00:30:39,456
like, designated pantry spot,
738
00:30:39,456 --> 00:30:40,939
so I just had them
frame this out.
739
00:30:40,939 --> 00:30:43,077
We're gonna use those
existing pantry cabinets,
740
00:30:43,077 --> 00:30:45,422
floor to ceiling,
so that'll be pantry.
741
00:30:45,422 --> 00:30:47,663
And then this will be
a butler's pantry area
742
00:30:47,663 --> 00:30:49,284
with a light, some shelves.
743
00:30:49,284 --> 00:30:50,732
You can make it
a little coffee area,
744
00:30:50,732 --> 00:30:52,836
whatever you want--
make it a bar with some drinks.
745
00:30:52,836 --> 00:30:54,456
Yeah, so you got a fancy plan,
746
00:30:54,456 --> 00:30:58,525
so how much is your fancy plan
gonna add to our budget?
747
00:30:58,525 --> 00:31:01,249
$1,300.
But don't panic...
748
00:31:01,249 --> 00:31:02,456
Okay.
749
00:31:02,456 --> 00:31:04,008
...because you've taught me
something,
750
00:31:04,008 --> 00:31:05,043
and I listened to you.
751
00:31:05,043 --> 00:31:06,456
- Oh, you listen to me?
- Mm-hmm.
752
00:31:06,456 --> 00:31:07,905
If I want something,
you always take it away
753
00:31:07,905 --> 00:31:10,905
from my design budget,
so I took it away from myself.
754
00:31:10,905 --> 00:31:12,456
- Okay.
- I beat you to the punch.
755
00:31:12,456 --> 00:31:13,732
Got ahead of the game.
756
00:31:13,732 --> 00:31:15,318
- This French door?
- Uh-huh.
757
00:31:15,318 --> 00:31:18,043
This was gonna cost us
maybe 2,700, 2,800 bucks.
758
00:31:18,043 --> 00:31:19,284
Yeah, probably all-in.
759
00:31:19,284 --> 00:31:21,180
We're taking it out.
I don't want it anymore.
760
00:31:21,180 --> 00:31:23,353
So now we have
two cool features.
761
00:31:23,353 --> 00:31:25,732
Like, you could really see
this whole Panoramic Door,
762
00:31:25,732 --> 00:31:28,353
sunroom kind of area.
It extends the living room.
763
00:31:28,353 --> 00:31:31,525
And we have a designated pantry
space with a butler's pantry
764
00:31:31,525 --> 00:31:33,146
that I can, like, make fun
with design stuff.
765
00:31:33,146 --> 00:31:36,111
I appreciate it, but next time,
let's make sure
766
00:31:36,111 --> 00:31:38,043
that we just don't
break our process, right,
767
00:31:38,043 --> 00:31:40,284
and just go randomly change
all the time.
768
00:31:40,284 --> 00:31:41,974
You buy houses
without talking to me.
769
00:31:41,974 --> 00:31:43,939
I can get a pantry.
Calm down.
770
00:31:46,077 --> 00:31:48,870
In the backyard,
pool demo is finally under way,
771
00:31:48,870 --> 00:31:51,180
but we're still looking into
how much it's gonna cost us
772
00:31:51,180 --> 00:31:52,594
to fill it in.
773
00:31:52,594 --> 00:31:54,663
Back inside, our electricians
are installing
774
00:31:54,663 --> 00:31:56,525
our new main panel,
775
00:31:56,525 --> 00:32:00,353
while the painters
are making things pretty for us.
776
00:32:00,353 --> 00:32:03,456
And the new contemporary
front door's going in,
777
00:32:03,456 --> 00:32:05,698
along with
all the interior doors.
778
00:32:08,008 --> 00:32:11,215
This pool keeps confirming why
we don't buy houses with pools.
779
00:32:13,215 --> 00:32:15,249
But there's one thing
I can say about Chauncey--
780
00:32:15,249 --> 00:32:17,249
she's not afraid to take
the bull by the horns
781
00:32:17,249 --> 00:32:18,249
and make it happen.
782
00:32:18,249 --> 00:32:19,387
Ooh, yeah!
783
00:32:19,387 --> 00:32:21,284
She's at Carriage right now
784
00:32:21,284 --> 00:32:23,008
working with the crew
to make sure that the pool
785
00:32:23,008 --> 00:32:26,491
gets filled in
with 12 truck loads of dirt
786
00:32:26,491 --> 00:32:28,732
and that the ground is smooth
and level
787
00:32:28,732 --> 00:32:32,318
in preparation
for the putting green.
788
00:32:32,318 --> 00:32:35,111
We're on the 15th hole
of this remodel,
789
00:32:35,111 --> 00:32:37,008
but before we can
close out this flip,
790
00:32:37,008 --> 00:32:38,560
the crew has plenty to do.
791
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:43,043
In the kitchen, the gas line
is going in for the new range,
792
00:32:43,043 --> 00:32:45,836
drywall is going up
around the bay window area,
793
00:32:45,836 --> 00:32:48,146
and they are prepping
the kitchen floor for LVP
794
00:32:48,146 --> 00:32:51,836
that we're installing
throughout the house.
795
00:32:51,836 --> 00:32:54,043
Chauncey's grand vision
for the primary bathroom
796
00:32:54,043 --> 00:32:55,456
is coming together.
797
00:32:55,456 --> 00:32:59,215
The tile floor for the oversized
spa shower is going in,
798
00:32:59,215 --> 00:33:02,146
followed by a gorgeous
new shower glass enclosure
799
00:33:02,146 --> 00:33:04,801
from our friends at JPON Glass.
800
00:33:04,801 --> 00:33:06,525
The pressure is on
to finish up this flip,
801
00:33:06,525 --> 00:33:08,043
and today is a big day.
802
00:33:08,043 --> 00:33:09,422
Texas Lawns is here,
803
00:33:09,422 --> 00:33:11,629
and they're getting started
on the landscaping.
804
00:33:13,836 --> 00:33:16,353
In the pool area,
they're clearing out the weeds
805
00:33:16,353 --> 00:33:19,905
and prepping the ground
for building the putting green.
806
00:33:19,905 --> 00:33:21,698
For the putting green,
we decided to go
807
00:33:21,698 --> 00:33:24,870
with an artificial turf
to keep the price down.
808
00:33:24,870 --> 00:33:26,732
We're also updating
the irrigation system
809
00:33:26,732 --> 00:33:30,698
with new zones
in the back and side yards.
810
00:33:30,698 --> 00:33:33,111
Out front, we're planting
a ton of new shrubs,
811
00:33:33,111 --> 00:33:36,111
flowers, and bushes
to make the yard pop,
812
00:33:36,111 --> 00:33:38,180
in addition to laying new sod
and mulch
813
00:33:38,180 --> 00:33:39,525
across the entire lot.
814
00:33:41,974 --> 00:33:43,732
Meanwhile, the hot-water tank
815
00:33:43,732 --> 00:33:45,560
and my magnificent
extra-large range
816
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:50,560
is going in in front
of the custom bay window.
817
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,422
The crew is installing
the kitchen cabinets
818
00:33:52,422 --> 00:33:55,111
and island base.
819
00:33:55,111 --> 00:33:57,491
And in the living room, they're
painting the accent wall,
820
00:33:57,491 --> 00:34:00,663
and ceiling beams are getting
refreshed with a dark stain
821
00:34:00,663 --> 00:34:03,629
that will showcase
the expansiveness of the room.
822
00:34:07,318 --> 00:34:10,249
We had a delay
with our countertop installer,
823
00:34:10,249 --> 00:34:13,215
and when countertops can't get
installed, it's a domino effect.
824
00:34:13,215 --> 00:34:14,353
Then you've got
plumbing fixtures
825
00:34:14,353 --> 00:34:15,629
that can't be installed,
826
00:34:15,629 --> 00:34:17,043
you've got backsplash
that can't be installed,
827
00:34:17,043 --> 00:34:19,043
and there are lot of touch-up
items as well.
828
00:34:19,043 --> 00:34:20,939
So the countertop guys are here
hustling
829
00:34:20,939 --> 00:34:23,353
to finish up the kitchen.
830
00:34:23,353 --> 00:34:25,698
We're using quartz slabs
from Best Cheer and Stone
831
00:34:25,698 --> 00:34:27,663
for the countertops
and the backsplash.
832
00:34:29,663 --> 00:34:31,801
Unfortunately,
it's also staging day,
833
00:34:31,801 --> 00:34:33,284
and Nikki and her team
just arrived,
834
00:34:33,284 --> 00:34:35,284
so the stagers and our crew
are just gonna have to
835
00:34:35,284 --> 00:34:37,939
work around each other
so we can finish up this house.
836
00:34:37,939 --> 00:34:40,456
And they're gonna have to move
whatever stools that go here,
837
00:34:40,456 --> 00:34:43,663
'cause they're not done with the
caulk and the trim and stuff.
838
00:34:43,663 --> 00:34:45,284
They gotta finish them out.
839
00:34:45,284 --> 00:34:47,974
Oh, that's so beautiful.
840
00:34:47,974 --> 00:34:50,974
And it literally matches
the floors perfect.
841
00:34:50,974 --> 00:34:53,043
I already like where
the staging is going.
842
00:34:53,043 --> 00:34:54,422
Perfect.
843
00:35:03,870 --> 00:35:05,422
Man, I'm loving this already.
844
00:35:05,422 --> 00:35:08,146
This thing looks
freaking amazing.
845
00:35:08,146 --> 00:35:10,525
Oh, my gosh.
So when we first came,
846
00:35:10,525 --> 00:35:13,939
the vibe of the house
was really kind of traditional.
847
00:35:13,939 --> 00:35:17,077
Taking this front façade
and putting stucco here
848
00:35:17,077 --> 00:35:18,939
and using a complimentary
color with the brick--
849
00:35:18,939 --> 00:35:20,180
because let's not forget,
850
00:35:20,180 --> 00:35:21,732
we didn't even paint
the freaking brick!
851
00:35:21,732 --> 00:35:23,043
And with the new windows,
852
00:35:23,043 --> 00:35:24,732
I feel like they've really
helped kinda change
853
00:35:24,732 --> 00:35:26,422
the whole look
of the house, too, right?
854
00:35:26,422 --> 00:35:28,629
Absolutely.
They're nice, they're big.
855
00:35:28,629 --> 00:35:31,180
It really kinda gives it
this modern vibe now, right?
856
00:35:31,180 --> 00:35:32,836
Yeah.
And speaking of modern,
857
00:35:32,836 --> 00:35:37,077
this iron glass door
really transformed what was
858
00:35:37,077 --> 00:35:39,870
just, like, a traditional
ranch-style house
859
00:35:39,870 --> 00:35:43,111
to now being more of, like,
a modern, Mediterranean feel.
860
00:35:43,111 --> 00:35:46,215
And then this landscaping, babe!
861
00:35:46,215 --> 00:35:48,525
This is a transformation.
862
00:35:48,525 --> 00:35:50,905
We're talking new sod
everywhere.
863
00:35:50,905 --> 00:35:52,698
These flowerbeds out front.
864
00:35:52,698 --> 00:35:55,594
The greenery really pops up
against that stucco.
865
00:35:55,594 --> 00:35:57,767
I mean, the house really has
a lot of curb appeal.
866
00:35:57,767 --> 00:35:59,353
It's like the showcase
of the neighborhood now.
867
00:35:59,353 --> 00:36:00,629
Yeah, it's beautiful.
868
00:36:00,629 --> 00:36:01,870
It is.
It ain't a zombie no more.
869
00:36:01,870 --> 00:36:03,043
- Mnh-mnh.
- Let's check out the inside.
870
00:36:03,043 --> 00:36:04,870
Can't wait to see it.
871
00:36:04,870 --> 00:36:07,249
Ooh!
872
00:36:11,318 --> 00:36:12,387
I love it so much!
873
00:36:14,732 --> 00:36:16,111
Man, do you remember
all the freaking cracks
874
00:36:16,111 --> 00:36:17,387
that were in this room?
875
00:36:17,387 --> 00:36:19,111
This dining room was a mess.
876
00:36:19,111 --> 00:36:20,491
Yeah, it was horrible.
877
00:36:20,491 --> 00:36:21,732
I mean, like the cracks were
878
00:36:21,732 --> 00:36:23,560
coming from the ceiling,
they were in the walls,
879
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,353
they were around the windows,
they were everywhere.
880
00:36:25,353 --> 00:36:27,353
And now look at it.
881
00:36:27,353 --> 00:36:29,387
It is a proper dining room.
882
00:36:29,387 --> 00:36:32,180
This light fixture
is absolutely beautiful.
883
00:36:32,180 --> 00:36:34,284
Well, I mean, you've got
a lot of space right here
884
00:36:34,284 --> 00:36:35,836
and it's functional.
885
00:36:35,836 --> 00:36:38,008
Yeah, I love this
arch right here at the entrance.
886
00:36:38,008 --> 00:36:40,077
This butler's pantry
was the space
887
00:36:40,077 --> 00:36:41,663
that I didn't get permission on.
888
00:36:41,663 --> 00:36:43,077
You can't tell me
you don't love it.
889
00:36:43,077 --> 00:36:44,180
This was a good call.
890
00:36:44,180 --> 00:36:45,387
We've got a lot of space here.
891
00:36:45,387 --> 00:36:46,801
Yes!
892
00:36:46,801 --> 00:36:48,077
That keeps the kitchen
nice and open, too.
893
00:36:48,077 --> 00:36:50,456
We are standing in
what used to be the kitchen.
894
00:36:50,456 --> 00:36:52,215
Yeah, that's right.
895
00:36:52,215 --> 00:36:54,180
This was the whole damn kitchen!
896
00:36:54,180 --> 00:36:55,594
This is where
the refrigerator was
897
00:36:55,594 --> 00:36:57,146
and that leaky-ass water line.
898
00:36:57,146 --> 00:36:58,939
That's all I remember,
'cause the plumbing issues
899
00:36:58,939 --> 00:37:00,974
in this house, man,
they really drove me crazy.
900
00:37:00,974 --> 00:37:03,594
It was a mess,
and now look at it.
901
00:37:03,594 --> 00:37:06,284
We have taken the old kitchen,
902
00:37:06,284 --> 00:37:09,387
created this wonderful
prep area.
903
00:37:09,387 --> 00:37:10,629
Yeah.
904
00:37:10,629 --> 00:37:12,698
This was
the breakfast-nook area.
905
00:37:12,698 --> 00:37:15,146
Now we've got this beautiful
906
00:37:15,146 --> 00:37:18,560
48-inch gas and electric
ZLINE range
907
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,491
in this bay window,
framed out here.
908
00:37:21,491 --> 00:37:25,077
This waterfall island
and then the countertop material
909
00:37:25,077 --> 00:37:26,767
and then the hardware
kinda matches
910
00:37:26,767 --> 00:37:28,525
some of the tones
in the countertop--
911
00:37:28,525 --> 00:37:29,560
freaking beautiful.
912
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,077
Let's check out the living room.
913
00:37:32,077 --> 00:37:34,836
There was a freaking wall
right here.
914
00:37:34,836 --> 00:37:37,387
We had a brick fireplace.
915
00:37:37,387 --> 00:37:39,180
It was ugly.
And don't forget those
916
00:37:39,180 --> 00:37:40,215
built-ins over there, too.
917
00:37:40,215 --> 00:37:41,836
They were a mess.
918
00:37:41,836 --> 00:37:45,215
And so this definitely makes
this entire wall really clean,
919
00:37:45,215 --> 00:37:47,387
and I love this space,
how it overlooks the kitchen
920
00:37:47,387 --> 00:37:48,767
and ties all of it together.
921
00:37:48,767 --> 00:37:50,387
This is just a spectacular room.
922
00:37:50,387 --> 00:37:53,629
So let's go check out
these bedrooms.
923
00:37:53,629 --> 00:37:55,525
Ah!
924
00:37:55,525 --> 00:37:57,008
This bedroom was so nasty
before.
925
00:37:57,008 --> 00:37:58,663
It had just stuff everywhere.
926
00:37:58,663 --> 00:38:00,284
Yeah.
New windows helps it out.
927
00:38:00,284 --> 00:38:02,939
Nice and clean, open.
It's the perfect size.
928
00:38:02,939 --> 00:38:05,180
- And then this bathroom!
- Ooh.
929
00:38:05,180 --> 00:38:07,180
It was so ugly before.
930
00:38:07,180 --> 00:38:08,491
It was green.
931
00:38:08,491 --> 00:38:11,008
Like, everything was, like,
zombie-puke green.
932
00:38:11,008 --> 00:38:12,456
Yeah.
933
00:38:12,456 --> 00:38:15,215
And now we have
this beautiful artisan tile
934
00:38:15,215 --> 00:38:16,663
in the shower.
935
00:38:16,663 --> 00:38:20,422
We have this vintage
kind of checkered floor.
936
00:38:20,422 --> 00:38:22,663
This looks a lot more luxurious.
937
00:38:22,663 --> 00:38:24,560
Definitely loving
the floor, the tile,
938
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,353
of course, the countertop's
killing it.
939
00:38:26,353 --> 00:38:28,318
It turned out so perfectly.
940
00:38:28,318 --> 00:38:29,939
I could not be happier.
941
00:38:29,939 --> 00:38:31,732
This is a giant primary.
942
00:38:31,732 --> 00:38:34,801
Remember when we first came,
it was so, like, dark and dingy.
943
00:38:34,801 --> 00:38:36,732
It just felt closed in.
944
00:38:36,732 --> 00:38:38,008
Yeah.
945
00:38:38,008 --> 00:38:39,560
So I went with
this really bright
946
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,387
white color on the wall,
added these can lights,
947
00:38:42,387 --> 00:38:44,732
put light floors in here,
and now this room,
948
00:38:44,732 --> 00:38:46,594
honestly, feels like twice
as big as it did before.
949
00:38:46,594 --> 00:38:48,594
It's huge, it's open,
it's bright.
950
00:38:48,594 --> 00:38:50,629
It looks good. Come show me
this primary bathroom.
951
00:38:50,629 --> 00:38:53,249
Ooh! This is where the money is.
952
00:38:53,249 --> 00:38:54,870
When we first came in here,
953
00:38:54,870 --> 00:38:57,663
right here in this wall area
was the shower.
954
00:38:57,663 --> 00:38:59,249
The tiniest shower
you've ever seen.
955
00:38:59,249 --> 00:39:00,594
Your "Scarface" tub.
956
00:39:00,594 --> 00:39:02,146
Wish we could have
kept it, but, you know,
957
00:39:02,146 --> 00:39:04,318
I'll settle for this tub,
which is still big.
958
00:39:04,318 --> 00:39:07,353
This primary bathroom is light.
959
00:39:07,353 --> 00:39:11,905
This giant walk-in shower,
dual shower heads,
960
00:39:11,905 --> 00:39:14,180
this marble-look tile.
961
00:39:14,180 --> 00:39:15,249
It looks damn good.
962
00:39:15,249 --> 00:39:16,284
From zombie to luxury.
963
00:39:16,284 --> 00:39:17,180
Crushed it.
964
00:39:17,180 --> 00:39:18,456
It's nice to come in here
965
00:39:18,456 --> 00:39:19,905
and not have to break down
a damn steel door.
966
00:39:19,905 --> 00:39:23,801
Remember this space had
a freaking wall in the middle.
967
00:39:23,801 --> 00:39:25,663
It had its own AC,
968
00:39:25,663 --> 00:39:28,732
its own lighting,
a lot of equipment.
969
00:39:28,732 --> 00:39:30,939
Where the hell did
all the equipment go, Derek?
970
00:39:30,939 --> 00:39:33,318
I'll let you know if we're in
any new business ventures.
971
00:39:33,318 --> 00:39:38,077
You can even go out
into this beautiful sunroom.
972
00:39:38,077 --> 00:39:40,111
This, remember,
used to be a door.
973
00:39:40,111 --> 00:39:42,560
It was all closed off.
974
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,180
Babe, I love this space.
975
00:39:44,180 --> 00:39:45,905
I'm glad that this is now open,
976
00:39:45,905 --> 00:39:48,008
because it really makes
that space great.
977
00:39:48,008 --> 00:39:49,801
Yeah, and these Panoramic Doors
978
00:39:49,801 --> 00:39:51,387
are just a reason
to buy this house alone.
979
00:39:51,387 --> 00:39:53,249
The whole damn thing
opens up to outside.
980
00:39:53,249 --> 00:39:55,215
Love the indoor-outdoor space.
981
00:39:55,215 --> 00:39:57,836
Yeah.
Look at this freaking backyard.
982
00:39:57,836 --> 00:40:00,008
The pool, number one, was nasty.
983
00:40:00,008 --> 00:40:01,111
It was disgusting.
984
00:40:01,111 --> 00:40:02,456
It was not functional.
985
00:40:02,456 --> 00:40:05,456
And now we've filled it in
986
00:40:05,456 --> 00:40:07,560
and created this oasis
back here.
987
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:11,525
Lots of new sod and grass,
and then this putting green!
988
00:40:11,525 --> 00:40:14,491
- I love the putting green.
- This turf feels like carpet.
989
00:40:14,491 --> 00:40:16,905
This makes me wanna
step my golf game up.
990
00:40:16,905 --> 00:40:18,870
Why don't we worry about getting
the damn house sold first?
991
00:40:18,870 --> 00:40:20,353
So let's talk about that.
992
00:40:20,353 --> 00:40:22,043
What are you thinking
we should list for?
993
00:40:22,043 --> 00:40:24,594
With this type of finish out,
we're looking at least
994
00:40:24,594 --> 00:40:27,008
$625,000, something like that.
995
00:40:27,008 --> 00:40:30,422
I've pulled some recent comps,
and that's not far off at all.
996
00:40:30,422 --> 00:40:31,801
- Yeah.
- Think we knocked it
997
00:40:31,801 --> 00:40:33,043
out of the park, and I think
we're gonna knock it out
998
00:40:33,043 --> 00:40:34,629
of the park
with selling it, too.
999
00:40:34,629 --> 00:40:36,663
This house is probably
one of the most deceiving ones
1000
00:40:36,663 --> 00:40:38,077
that we've ever renoed.
1001
00:40:38,077 --> 00:40:40,215
On the inside, we had
massive amounts of issues--
1002
00:40:40,215 --> 00:40:43,629
the foundation, cracks
in the walls and the ceilings.
1003
00:40:43,629 --> 00:40:45,180
We had to bust open the floors
1004
00:40:45,180 --> 00:40:47,249
even after the foundation
was done
1005
00:40:47,249 --> 00:40:49,870
to install new plumbing pipes
through the entire house.
1006
00:40:49,870 --> 00:40:51,629
And don't get me started
on the pool.
1007
00:40:51,629 --> 00:40:54,043
Fortunately, the comps
are ticking up in this area,
1008
00:40:54,043 --> 00:40:56,939
and we're gonna list Carriage
for $625,000,
1009
00:40:56,939 --> 00:40:59,767
which is $75,000 more
than we initially thought.
1010
00:40:59,767 --> 00:41:02,801
We purchased the house
for $295,000
1011
00:41:02,801 --> 00:41:06,663
and then just under $158,000
in renovation costs.
1012
00:41:06,663 --> 00:41:09,663
Realtor fees and closing costs
are just over 28 grand,
1013
00:41:09,663 --> 00:41:13,387
and our loan interest
is $11,925.
1014
00:41:13,387 --> 00:41:17,422
That puts us all in
right under $493,000,
1015
00:41:17,422 --> 00:41:21,836
giving us a potential profit
of over $132,000.
1016
00:41:23,318 --> 00:41:24,594
Ah!
1017
00:41:24,594 --> 00:41:27,284
Derek Dwayne,
what are you doing?!
1018
00:41:27,284 --> 00:41:28,525
I left some clubs here,
1019
00:41:28,525 --> 00:41:29,767
but I didn't leave
any freaking putters,
1020
00:41:29,767 --> 00:41:31,560
so this is what
I'm working with right now.
1021
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,387
I'm trying to get
a damn house sold,
1022
00:41:33,387 --> 00:41:35,008
and you're out here
playing golf?
1023
00:41:35,008 --> 00:41:36,629
Well, you always like to
play with the fun stuff
1024
00:41:36,629 --> 00:41:38,111
that we put in the houses.
It's my turn.
1025
00:41:38,111 --> 00:41:39,801
Give me that.
I'm gonna beat you,
1026
00:41:39,801 --> 00:41:41,594
and I'm gonna sell this house
for more money
1027
00:41:41,594 --> 00:41:43,560
than you think
I'm gonna sell it for,
1028
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,560
because I can do all things.
1029
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,180
- I like that.
- Oh!
1030
00:41:47,180 --> 00:41:48,422
Maybe I can't play golf.
1031
00:41:48,422 --> 00:41:50,043
- Yeah. Try again.
- Is this how I hit it?
1032
00:41:52,732 --> 00:41:54,525
Uh, yeah, so you're
not gonna beat me.
1033
00:41:54,525 --> 00:41:55,836
Whatever.
It doesn't matter.
1034
00:41:55,836 --> 00:41:57,456
I'm gonna get the house sold
for more money
1035
00:41:57,456 --> 00:41:58,663
than what you expect, so just--
1036
00:41:58,663 --> 00:42:00,284
- What?
- Just be happy about that.
1037
00:42:00,284 --> 00:42:02,008
You saw that you didn't make
any there, though, right?
1038
00:42:02,008 --> 00:42:04,146
- Come on, let's go.
- So you owe me a set of clubs.
