for the main house duplex
and the carriage house
drawn up.
138
00:05:40,100 --> 00:05:42,200
Then, we need to
submit the plans to the city,

and hopefully
there won't be any issues.
140
00:05:44,166 --> 00:05:47,300
And then we can get started
on building the foundations.
141
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:49,500
What did we shell out
for this, for this property?
142
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:51,867
It's one of the city programs,
and it was, I think,
three grand.
143
00:05:51,867 --> 00:05:54,066
I think to build out
this duplex,
144
00:05:54,066 --> 00:05:56,667
along with the garage
and two efficiency apartments,
145
00:05:56,667 --> 00:05:58,867
it should cost about $400,000.
146
00:05:58,867 --> 00:06:02,300
So all in, at $403,000.
147
00:06:02,300 --> 00:06:05,600
And I can probably
list the duplexes at $235,000,
148
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:06,800
because they each come
with a garage
149
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,266
and an efficiency apartment.
150
00:06:08,266 --> 00:06:11,367
Which should mean a profit
of at least $67,000.
151

that garage door,

Not a lot.

And the framer said,
"I can't build on this."

The foundation team
that did this
176
00:07:10,867 --> 00:07:13,467
did not do it properly.
177

And then when the framer
actually came in
178
00:07:16,066 --> 00:07:18,467
to plan on getting started,
he pointed out,
179
00:07:18,467 --> 00:07:22,266
what now seems very obvious,
is that the foundation
is below grade.

What's gonna happen
if we put wood on top

00:07:39,767 --> 00:07:42,567
then wrap the house
in wood OSB,

-...it doesn't have to rain.
190
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:52,400
But it will slowly wick up,
and go up under.
191
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,066
I mean, it's still climbing.
192
00:07:54,066 --> 00:07:56,767
And if it's regularly
sitting in the water...
193
00:07:56,767 --> 00:07:58,667
I'm not gonna dip
the whole thing.
We're just touching.

it's fine.

I might have blown my nose,
like, three or four times.
196
00:08:03,500 --> 00:08:05,767
It'll slowly just
keep wicking up.
197
00:08:05,767 --> 00:08:08,467
And then your entire house
is gonna rot.
198
00:08:08,467 --> 00:08:09,800
It's gonna
keep going up and up.
199
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,100
So, what we have to do
is create a barrier,
200
00:08:13,100 --> 00:08:17,066
a space between the dirt,
this cup, and the house.
201
00:08:17,066 --> 00:08:19,266
So we have to
build up more block.

-That's fortunate,
it came from your pocket.
204
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:27,100
Now, we're in a situation
where we really need to add
205
00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:29,667
at least two, if not three,
rows of block
206
00:08:29,667 --> 00:08:31,600
-to get us up over here.
-Yeah.
207
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,600

a band board along here...
208
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:34,667

in the ground.
209
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:36,600
[Mina] We are in, like,
a historic district,
210
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,266
so I'm trying to figure out
if these added rows of block
211
00:08:39,266 --> 00:08:41,567
are simply an amendment
with the permitting
department,
212
00:08:41,567 --> 00:08:45,066
or if they're gonna say,
this has to completely
go back through the city.
213
00:08:45,066 --> 00:08:46,567
Which could take
a really long time.
214
00:08:46,567 --> 00:08:49,700
So the only bright side
is that we can start building
the carriage house.
215
00:08:49,700 --> 00:08:52,166
-[Cory] Hmm.
-[Mina] So, that's gonna
get started right now.
216
00:08:52,166 --> 00:08:53,367
That's exciting.
217
00:08:53,367 --> 00:08:55,934
Yeah, I mean,
at least we can move on that.
218
00:09:02,700 --> 00:09:04,967
I found out from the city
that we're going to have to
219
00:09:04,967 --> 00:09:06,967
rebuild the entire
main house foundation,
220
00:09:06,967 --> 00:09:10,166
which is gonna take
a ton of time to undo
and then redo.
221
00:09:10,166 --> 00:09:12,967
And then, I have to wait
for another inspection.
222
00:09:12,967 --> 00:09:16,800
So, I'm making the decision
to refocus on the carriage
house now and get that done,
223
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,600
and at least, hopefully,
rent that out
224
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,066
to offset some of
the unexpected costs.
225
00:09:21,967 --> 00:09:25,166
So, that foundation
is poured correctly.
226
00:09:25,166 --> 00:09:28,100
Our walls are up,
and framing is cruising along.
227
00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:30,367
[Cory] Do you normally
wear corduroys when you, uh,
228
00:09:30,367 --> 00:09:32,867
-when you do this dance?
-These aren't corduroy.
They're jeans.
229
00:09:32,867 --> 00:09:37,100
So now I have to figure out
how to pack the most punch
into these two tiny units.
230
00:09:37,100 --> 00:09:39,300
So, I don't think
I could pull this stunt
231
00:09:39,300 --> 00:09:42,900

and walking at the same time.

little napkin sketch?
What we going by?
237

-Or you're just gonna
mark these up?
-They're not a napkin sketch.
238
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,767
Yeah, 'cause there's not,
it's not a ton.
239
00:09:56,767 --> 00:09:58,767
Like, nothing's different
on the second floor.
240
00:09:58,767 --> 00:10:02,000
So first off, main house
isn't getting built right now,
241
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,200
because we got all the issues
in the world.
242
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,667
-We're good on the garage.
-Hmm.
243
00:10:05,667 --> 00:10:08,166
We can make the slab work.
But the main house
244
00:10:08,166 --> 00:10:09,967
-is definitely getting
pushed back.
-[Cory] Oh, yeah.
245
00:10:09,967 --> 00:10:11,667
So, this is
the main difference.
246
00:10:11,667 --> 00:10:13,200
The house is all
split down the middle,
247
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,667
but the garage is jogged
because I did one side
a two-car,
248
00:10:16,667 --> 00:10:18,500
-and one side
a one-and-a-half.
-I see that.
249
00:10:18,500 --> 00:10:19,767
So, I want to
250
00:10:19,767 --> 00:10:23,300
cut it back down the middle
so it's less complicated.
251
00:10:23,300 --> 00:10:25,900
Split, so they're
each equally split.
252
00:10:25,900 --> 00:10:27,266
[Cory] Yeah,
and then that way,
253
00:10:27,266 --> 00:10:30,400
-so each side has its own
same-size garage.
-[Mina] Correct.
254
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,200
-Yeah, so it'll get...
-[Cory] Is that what you're
trying to get at there?
255
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,100
...split down the middle,
so the garage will reflect
256
00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:36,100
-what the second floor
reflects.
-Of course.
257
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:38,166
And upstairs,
they're both just, like,
258
00:10:38,166 --> 00:10:39,967
-cute efficiency apartments.
-Mmm-hmm.
259
00:10:39,967 --> 00:10:42,166
So, each side has
cute little kitchen.
260
00:10:42,166 --> 00:10:43,700
-[Cory] Yeah.
-[Mina] And it's got room
for a dishwasher,

full-size stove, refrigerator.
262

walk-in closet.

so it could still be, like,
264
00:10:51,066 --> 00:10:53,000

sharing the efficiency,
265
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,867
-each have
their own sink still.
-[Cory] Mmm-hmm, yup,

-gotta have that.
-Um, tub shower, and then,

324
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,367
we can get in this efficiency,
the better.
325
00:13:19,367 --> 00:13:21,166
I'm getting more kitchen,
I'm happy.
326
00:13:21,166 --> 00:13:24,000
[Cory] I'm gonna
include that 2x4
and go this direction.
327
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,300
-Right about 48.
-Three...
328
00:13:25,300 --> 00:13:27,266
Four by-- So, 24 sq ft.
329
00:13:27,266 --> 00:13:28,500
I know it's minimal,
but this becomes
330
00:13:28,500 --> 00:13:30,300
-usable square footage
where this 2x4 lands.
-[Mina] Yeah.
331
00:13:30,300 --> 00:13:32,367
Cory was on a roll today,
and I think this is definitely
332
00:13:32,367 --> 00:13:34,000
gonna add some
usable square footage.
333
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,867
Now I just need to
bid those changes,
but that shouldn't be too bad.
334
00:13:36,867 --> 00:13:39,300
-This is super cute.
It's super cozy too.
-[Mina] Oh, yeah.
335
00:13:39,300 --> 00:13:42,467
-Yeah.
-I think it feels grand enough
without this being open.
336
00:13:42,467 --> 00:13:44,867
-Yeah.
-All right. Fantastic!
337
00:13:44,867 --> 00:13:47,333
[upbeat song playing]
338
00:13:53,367 --> 00:13:56,367
Just would
like to acknowledge,
this is all Cory's fault.
339
00:13:56,367 --> 00:13:59,100
-It was his ideas.
-So, now we're gonna do
a blamestorming
340
00:13:59,100 --> 00:14:01,100
-real quickly for you?
-And it was
a really good idea.
341
00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:04,367
Uh, it's, you know,
nice having this
two-story entryway,
342
00:14:04,367 --> 00:14:06,066
but this is the kitchen
and it's tiny,
343
00:14:06,066 --> 00:14:09,100
so take this out
and drop in floor joist, OSB.
344
00:14:09,100 --> 00:14:10,867
And the second thing,
it's pretty simple,
345
00:14:10,867 --> 00:14:14,467
but this space
seems very wasted.
346
00:14:14,467 --> 00:14:16,567
So, just saws off this out,
347
00:14:16,567 --> 00:14:18,100
and do a header
across the top.
348
00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:19,567
We've got 2x12s downstairs.

Same game on the other side.

00:14:21,166 --> 00:14:23,367
Earlier this week,
he had a really good idea
351
00:14:23,367 --> 00:14:25,567
-to gain some square footage.
-[Cory] Hmm.
352
00:14:25,567 --> 00:14:28,867
So I got a bid for said idea,
353
00:14:28,867 --> 00:14:31,400
and the labor was $3,750.
354
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,300
-Not saying that's
an unreasonable number.
-Hmm.
355
00:14:34,300 --> 00:14:36,567
But, not one I can afford and
356
00:14:36,567 --> 00:14:38,767
something I think
that we can do.
357
00:14:38,767 --> 00:14:41,400
I think they accidently put
a zero on the end of that bid.

about two hours.

about an idea
383
00:15:47,667 --> 00:15:51,467
to hopefully make this
disaster of a project
make sense financially.
384
00:15:51,467 --> 00:15:55,567
The main house foundation
is a whole rigamarole.
385
00:15:55,567 --> 00:15:57,367
Pretty much
the short story is,
386
00:15:57,367 --> 00:16:00,400
that house is not gonna
get built with any quickness.
387
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:01,700
-The main house?
-[Mina] The main house.
388
00:16:01,700 --> 00:16:04,166
-I'm gonna keep moving forward
on the carriage house.
-Okay.
389
00:16:04,166 --> 00:16:06,567
But, I think if we take it,
kind of,
390
00:16:06,567 --> 00:16:08,266
out of the Two Chicks
and a Hammer portfolio
391
00:16:08,266 --> 00:16:11,667
and put it into ours
for a long-term rental,
it'll do two things.
392
00:16:11,667 --> 00:16:13,166
Obviously, I'm not gonna
make any money really
393
00:16:13,166 --> 00:16:14,266
-if I sell it now.
-Right.
394
00:16:14,266 --> 00:16:17,266
It would let us hold it,
get rental income,
395
00:16:17,266 --> 00:16:19,567
and then sell it
whenever we want.
396

twenty years...
-[Steve] Yeah.

00:16:21,367 --> 00:16:22,300
-Yeah.
-That's my pitch.
398
00:16:22,300 --> 00:16:23,467
Yeah, you'll have to take me
by there soon.

-I haven't,

for the future,

I mean, ideally,
getting through Birch
would be, like,
407
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,100
the last, like,
the big hurdle.
408
00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:45,200
-Doing so many projects
at one time.
-Yeah.
409
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,467
I would love to be able to
slow down after that,
410
00:16:47,467 --> 00:16:50,667
-and not be doing, you know,
a dozen properties a year.
-[Steve] Yeah.
411
00:16:50,667 --> 00:16:52,667
Do a more manageable amount.
412
00:16:52,667 --> 00:16:54,767
'Cause I feel like I've--
I just would like
to be able to
413
00:16:54,767 --> 00:16:56,266
have a little bit
more manageable schedule,
414
00:16:56,266 --> 00:16:58,667
and I could do that
if I was doing, like,
415
00:16:58,667 --> 00:17:00,400
-four less a year.
-Right.

-[Steve] Yeah.

00:17:06,066 --> 00:17:07,266
[Mina] I just wanna slow down.
419
00:17:07,266 --> 00:17:09,867
Maybe cutting back
on not doing, you know,
420
00:17:09,867 --> 00:17:11,467
ten, 15 properties a year
421
00:17:11,467 --> 00:17:15,166
seems more appealing to me,
and I think fits more in line
422
00:17:15,166 --> 00:17:19,367
with how we want the next
handful of years to be,
and, like, our worlds.
423
00:17:19,367 --> 00:17:24,000
But I think being able to
slow down would obviously mean
424
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,100
the team getting smaller,
which is also a big struggle.
425
00:17:27,100 --> 00:17:29,667
Trying to decide, like,
making the decision

keeping all my employees.
-[Steve] I understand.

to think about how this,

00:17:58,266 --> 00:18:02,567

that is, like, a bedroom.

-the drapes, things like that,
that are differentiating them.
-Totally.

much more patterned,

00:20:02,500 --> 00:20:04,467
-in the landscaping to get,
like, a pop.
-Absolutely.
486
00:20:04,467 --> 00:20:06,467
[Mina] It's not 100% yet,
487
00:20:06,467 --> 00:20:09,266
but I'm pretty sure
Steve and I are gonna
hold these.
488
00:20:09,266 --> 00:20:10,867
-[MJ] Yes, cute.
-[Mina] Um,
489
00:20:10,867 --> 00:20:12,667
which is why, like,
I want them to be,
490
00:20:12,667 --> 00:20:15,367
aesthetically appealing,
but also super durable.
491
00:20:15,367 --> 00:20:17,000
-I think they're
gonna be cute.
-[MJ] Very cute.
492
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,967
Last plan, I don't know
if you have in our plan
for this yet,
493
00:20:20,967 --> 00:20:23,300
but I was walking
with the kids,
and the bridge...
494
00:20:23,300 --> 00:20:25,700
-Okay.
-...and Douglas David
was out there, painting.
495
00:20:25,700 --> 00:20:27,700
-Wow.
-[Mina] Uh, doing,
like, a skyline.
496
00:20:27,700 --> 00:20:30,767
-Amazing.
-And, he's gonna paint
something for us
497
00:20:30,767 --> 00:20:32,467
-to hang in there, so...
-Cute. That's super cute.
498
00:20:32,467 --> 00:20:34,367
Just one thing, but--
You want in on this side?
499
00:20:34,367 --> 00:20:36,500
-Yeah.
-[Mina] Okay. Okay.
500
00:20:36,500 --> 00:20:38,667
-We have a plan.
-Okay. Sisters, not cousins.
501
00:20:38,667 --> 00:20:40,800
-Cousins?
-Sisters, not twins.
502
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,367
Oh, geez.
503
00:20:42,367 --> 00:20:44,800
[upbeat song playing]
504
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,467
[Mina] Over here on Birch,
we're gonna keep it clean
505
00:20:47,467 --> 00:20:50,567
with crisp, bright siding,
which will go with both
design styles
506
00:20:50,567 --> 00:20:51,767
of the two apartments.
507
00:20:52,767 --> 00:20:54,300
With out holdup
on the main house,
508
00:20:54,300 --> 00:20:57,266
I wasn't about to splurge
on some fancy garage door
like Cory wanted.
509
00:20:57,266 --> 00:21:00,166
So, a simple but classic one
is going in instead.
510
00:21:00,166 --> 00:21:01,800
-Are we doing?
-Don't worry,
we did the hard part.
511
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,266
-We got all the cabinets
up here.
-Yeah, I know. That's sick.
512
00:21:04,266 --> 00:21:07,266
[Mina] And now,
it's time to get our
dual kitchens installed.
513
00:21:07,266 --> 00:21:09,066
-So do we have any--
-[Mina] My goal is to get
cabinets in
514
00:21:09,066 --> 00:21:11,100
because the counter
is gonna be template.
515
00:21:11,100 --> 00:21:13,266
-Friday. Yeah.
-Friday, okay.
516
00:21:13,266 --> 00:21:15,667
-Cool.
-Brittany and I are gonna
517
00:21:15,667 --> 00:21:18,266
-take a stab at next door.
Okay.
-[indistinct] Yeah, yeah.
518
00:21:18,266 --> 00:21:19,667
-Let's get some installed.
-[Mina] We'll get our side,
519
00:21:19,667 --> 00:21:21,100
-you stay on your side.
-Then we'll go from there.
520
00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:23,767
[upbeat song playing]
521
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,967
You know there's a bug
under daggone... [indistinct]
522
00:21:29,967 --> 00:21:31,667
We're pretty competitive
in my family,
523
00:21:31,667 --> 00:21:35,600
and it is no surprise
that Mina has pitted
the boys against the girls
524
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,166
in hanging cabinets today.
525
00:21:38,767 --> 00:21:40,367
-[Mina exclaims]
-[Brittany] All right, girl.
526
00:21:40,367 --> 00:21:41,567
[indistinct]
527
00:21:41,567 --> 00:21:45,100
And I know
Mina's over there hustling
just so she can beat us.
528
00:21:45,100 --> 00:21:46,567
You guys are shameless.
529
00:21:49,767 --> 00:21:51,934
Nice. Oh, my God.
530
00:21:57,266 --> 00:21:59,200
Mina's all vroom, vroom,
vroom, vroom.
531
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:00,667
Racing to get through
her cabinets
532
00:22:00,667 --> 00:22:02,934
and I can just hear her
going to town over there.
533
00:22:04,100 --> 00:22:05,100
[Mina] All right.
534
00:22:05,100 --> 00:22:07,767
I always think that slow
and steady wins the race.
535
00:22:07,767 --> 00:22:09,867
[Tad] Yeah,
Mina doesn't think that way.
536
00:22:09,867 --> 00:22:13,166
She's absolutely
cruisin' for a bruisin'.
537
00:22:13,166 --> 00:22:16,867
[Mina] Okay, we're good
on the bottom.
538
00:22:16,867 --> 00:22:18,166
-[Mina screams]
-[Brittany] Oh, Jesus.
539
00:22:23,667 --> 00:22:26,934
[Mina] Okay, we're good
on the bottom.
540
00:22:29,066 --> 00:22:30,800
-[Mina screams]
-[Brittany] Oh, Jesus.
541
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,266
[chuckles]
542
00:22:33,266 --> 00:22:35,400
[Mina] That scared the [bleep]
out of me.
543
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:36,834
Everyone's awake now.
544
00:22:38,166 --> 00:22:42,033
I think I'm just really
anxious to beat the boys
and finish faster...
545
00:22:44,266 --> 00:22:45,567
Okay.
546
00:22:45,567 --> 00:22:48,166
...but lesson learned.
Take your time,
547
00:22:48,166 --> 00:22:50,000
don't get hurt.
It'll be all right.
548
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,767
Now we're cooking with gas.
549
00:22:51,767 --> 00:22:53,533
Hot diggity dog.
550
00:22:59,066 --> 00:23:00,700
What's up?
551
00:23:00,700 --> 00:23:01,967
[Mina] We both almost
lost some fingers
552
00:23:01,967 --> 00:23:03,667
-but we got the sink in.
-[Tad] Nice.
553
00:23:03,667 --> 00:23:05,667
As expected, Brittany and I
finished before the boys.
554
00:23:05,667 --> 00:23:09,266
Now we gotta go finish
their side and we are so close
to completion,
555
00:23:09,266 --> 00:23:11,500
and it's gonna be
all hands on deck
to rock out the finishes
556
00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:13,767
after we get this counter
template in two days.
557
00:23:22,500 --> 00:23:24,066
With both kitchens installed
558
00:23:24,066 --> 00:23:25,767
our white marble
quartz countertops
559
00:23:25,767 --> 00:23:28,166
are going in
on the natural beachy side.
560
00:23:28,166 --> 00:23:32,667
And our moodier gray stone
is going in on our
colored pattern side.
561
00:23:32,667 --> 00:23:35,367
And in the bathrooms
we went matte black
on the finishes
562
00:23:35,367 --> 00:23:37,300
for the colored
and patterned side,
563
00:23:37,300 --> 00:23:39,934
and the some luxe gold
for the beachy side.
564
00:23:40,700 --> 00:23:43,000
-Well, hello, sir.
-[man 1] Hello.
565
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,166
[Mina] And over at Mom's,
Austin and Mom are working
566
00:23:45,166 --> 00:23:47,200
on a custom piece
for the outside.
567
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,600
Did you bring me towels?
568
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,100
I got all sorts of towels.
569
00:23:50,100 --> 00:23:51,333
-I hope they're clean.
-Yes.
570
00:23:51,333 --> 00:23:54,567
She goes,
"Bring over some towels.
They gotta be clean, though.
571
00:23:54,567 --> 00:23:56,600
-Soft and pliable...
-[Karen chuckles]
572
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,266
...because we're gonna
make them hard."
573
00:23:58,266 --> 00:23:59,500
[laughs heartily]
574
00:23:59,500 --> 00:24:01,066
Do you see the table up front?
575
00:24:01,066 --> 00:24:03,266
-[Austin] That's a table.
Yes, yes, yes.
-[Karen] It's a table.
576
00:24:03,266 --> 00:24:07,000
The table is there to inform
you of what we're doing.
577
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,567
We're gonna take the towel,
578
00:24:08,567 --> 00:24:11,300
we're gonna put it
in really sloppy,
wet cement and water...
579
00:24:11,300 --> 00:24:13,333
-Okay.
-...and we're gonna make
a concrete pot.
580
00:24:15,467 --> 00:24:19,266
So, what you need
to do slump molding concrete
581
00:24:19,266 --> 00:24:24,266
is you need a form that
you can slump a towel over.
582
00:24:24,266 --> 00:24:26,500
-You need some cement.
-[dog whimpers]
583
00:24:26,500 --> 00:24:28,000
What's wrong?
584
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,200
She would like to tell you
about slump molding concrete.
585
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,367
Need cement and water and
then something to mix them in.
586
00:24:34,367 --> 00:24:37,300
I like a wheelbarrow
and a hoe, makes it easier.
587
00:24:37,300 --> 00:24:40,567
You need to thoroughly
saturate your towel
588
00:24:40,567 --> 00:24:42,667
with the cement,
water mixture.
589
00:24:42,667 --> 00:24:46,767
-I mean, it's kind of fun.
-[Austin] I don't like
this sensation.
590
00:24:46,767 --> 00:24:48,600
[Karen chuckles]
591
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,300
-All right, are we ready?
-[Austin] Are we?
592
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:52,567
[Karen] I think we are.
593
00:24:54,567 --> 00:24:55,734
Okay.
594
00:24:56,467 --> 00:24:58,800
Slump it over your mold
595
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,200
and then let it dry.
596
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,367
That's what you need to do.
597
00:25:01,367 --> 00:25:03,800
[Austin] I think you can
do some little frills.
598
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,800
I think it's gonna
set a better edge.
599
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,867
This is not done in the
process of being done.
600
00:25:08,867 --> 00:25:10,800
-Hands off done
for our part...
-Correct.
601
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,100
-...and it is going--
-It's going here.
602
00:25:13,100 --> 00:25:15,266
You know,
we'll put some plants in it.
It's gonna look great.
603
00:25:15,266 --> 00:25:17,867
[Austin] So, I think,
if we were to go
with a color on it,
604
00:25:17,867 --> 00:25:20,000
I almost think uniform...
605
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,100
-[Karen] Yeah, plain color.
-...because I think that
that is giving it
606
00:25:22,100 --> 00:25:23,667
it's, like, depth and texture.
607
00:25:25,266 --> 00:25:27,100
-Look at you with
all the good borders.
-[Austin] Look at that.
608
00:25:27,100 --> 00:25:28,567
-Yes, it is. Yes, it is.
-Look at that.
609
00:25:35,700 --> 00:25:39,200
[Mina] These sister apartments
are making great progress.
610
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,867
It's a wider, warmer plank
on the beachy side
611
00:25:41,867 --> 00:25:44,467
and a lighter, thinner plank
in a herringbone pattern
612
00:25:44,467 --> 00:25:46,600
on the colored
and patterned side.
613
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,100
And we're doing
a light marble look backsplash
in a herringbone pattern
614
00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:52,667
to add some interest to our
all-white beachy kitchen.
615
00:25:53,900 --> 00:25:56,000
And then
a classic subway pattern
to balance out
616
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,300
all the color and patterns
on the other side.
617
00:25:58,300 --> 00:26:02,567
-We'll eventually have
four units on one lot.
-[Steve] Yeah, it'll be nice.
618
00:26:02,567 --> 00:26:04,767
[Mina] And today
Steve is dropping by
to give us feedback
619
00:26:04,767 --> 00:26:07,066
on what will be
our new rental property.
620
00:26:07,066 --> 00:26:09,767
It was just yesterday,
finally,
621
00:26:09,767 --> 00:26:12,100
that we got concrete poured...
622
00:26:12,100 --> 00:26:13,667
-[Steve] Okay. Oh, yeah.
-...which makes
623
00:26:13,667 --> 00:26:15,367
-such a world of difference.
It's like...
-It does.
624
00:26:15,367 --> 00:26:16,867
-...clean and tidy.
-[Steve] It looks nice.
625
00:26:16,867 --> 00:26:18,967
-[Mina] They're small.
It's an efficiency...
-[Steve] Yeah.
626
00:26:18,967 --> 00:26:21,600
-...and I think the space
is used really well.
-[Steve] Yeah.
627
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,266
I want you to see it
and see what you think
we could rent it for.
628
00:26:24,266 --> 00:26:25,834
[Steve] Sounds good.
Let's check it out.
629
00:26:26,767 --> 00:26:29,500
You can't see the flooring
in a lot of spaces,
630
00:26:29,500 --> 00:26:32,367
but you'll get
a little peek of it.
It's really cute.
631
00:26:32,367 --> 00:26:35,567
Um, okay, yeah,
you can see a lot more of it
over here.
632
00:26:35,567 --> 00:26:38,767
-[Steve] Great. Mmm-hmm.
-[Mina] So, this kinda
light blonde wood.
633
00:26:38,767 --> 00:26:42,900
-Originally, this wall
went straight back...
-Okay.
634
00:26:42,900 --> 00:26:46,100
...and we did four joists,
635
00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:49,767
notch this back this way,
we still have plenty of
headroom for the stairs,
636
00:26:49,767 --> 00:26:52,667
-and got
a way roomier kitchen.
-Yeah.
637
00:26:52,667 --> 00:26:56,500
And then the other big change
was this nook.
638
00:26:56,500 --> 00:26:58,166
-[Steve] Ah.
-[Mina] So,
it was unfinished space.
639
00:26:58,166 --> 00:27:00,967
So, [indistinct] this off.
Opened the whole thing up.
640
00:27:00,967 --> 00:27:04,266
And you could fit a whole
or a queen mattress in here
641
00:27:04,266 --> 00:27:08,567
for someone at, you know,
in college here or
642
00:27:08,567 --> 00:27:10,767
you know, just working,
like, by themselves.
643
00:27:10,767 --> 00:27:12,200
Yeah, these
efficiency apartments
644
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,166
-are great for students.
-[Mina] Yeah.
645
00:27:14,166 --> 00:27:18,100
Renting out
the carriage house apartment
wasn't the plan, originally
646
00:27:18,100 --> 00:27:20,300
but with the main house
getting so delayed
647
00:27:20,300 --> 00:27:22,900
I really can't afford
to have these sit here
doing nothing,
648
00:27:22,900 --> 00:27:25,200
um, so I think
if we can get those rented
649
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,800
that income will help offset
some of the cost that's gonna
have to go out
650
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,266
once we can get started back
on the main house again.
And it's gonna be fun.
651
00:27:32,266 --> 00:27:35,500
So, Steve and I not only
get to be business partners
in this venture
652
00:27:35,500 --> 00:27:37,867
we're also married partners,
which is fun.
653
00:27:37,867 --> 00:27:41,200
Overall, with your 12 decades
654
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,100
-of property--
You're very old.
-12 decades?
655
00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:44,567
-120 years.
-You're just well preserved.
656
00:27:44,567 --> 00:27:47,000
-What do you think
we can rent it for?
-[exclaims]
657
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,900
-'Cause I have a number
in my head.
-[Steve] Okay.
658
00:27:48,900 --> 00:27:50,600
What's the number
in your head?
You got a number?
659
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,667
-'Cause we'll say it
on the count of three.
-Okay.
660
00:27:52,667 --> 00:27:54,500
One, two, three.
661
00:27:54,500 --> 00:27:56,066
-One grand.
-I'll tell you when it's done.
662
00:27:56,066 --> 00:27:57,900
-Do you think
one grand's crazy?
-No.
663
00:27:57,900 --> 00:27:59,667
-But you'll tell me
when we're done?
-[Steve] Yeah.
664
00:27:59,667 --> 00:28:03,100
Totally get why Steve is like,
"Gotta see it when it's done."
665
00:28:03,100 --> 00:28:06,100
Like, he trusts that
I'll do a good job,
it'll be amazing.
666
00:28:06,100 --> 00:28:09,400
It really depends on those,
like, last few finishes.
667
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,567
So, once it's all together,
once it's staged,
668
00:28:12,567 --> 00:28:14,100
I think it's gonna
make a big difference
669
00:28:14,100 --> 00:28:17,367
because then people
will actually be able to
really see the value in it
670
00:28:17,367 --> 00:28:21,600
and while the square footage
is small it's gonna be, like,
super, super functional.
671
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,300
-So, we're gonna have to see
when it's done.
-Yeah, mmm-hmm.
672
00:28:23,300 --> 00:28:24,400
See what our options are.
673
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,266
-Let's do it.
-But you think you're
674
00:28:26,266 --> 00:28:28,567
towards the direction
of being on board
675
00:28:28,567 --> 00:28:31,667
-to keep it in our
family portfolio?
-Yeah.
676
00:28:31,667 --> 00:28:34,767
If that's the case I'm gonna
need a little more
sweat equity out of the fam
677
00:28:34,767 --> 00:28:37,700
so I might have the kids
come help me landscape.
678
00:28:37,700 --> 00:28:39,967
-Jack's always
wanting to help.
-He is. He loves to work.

[Karen] Adelle is so excited.
684
00:28:55,467 --> 00:28:57,300
She's like,
"Oh, I love coming here."
685
00:28:57,300 --> 00:28:59,600
Three... three to four...
686
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,867
-Well, hello, gentlemen.
-Hey, hey.
687
00:29:01,867 --> 00:29:04,367
-Hi. Hey, Adelle.
-We got the brain trust here.
688
00:29:04,367 --> 00:29:06,266
-How you doing?
-Hi, hi, hi. How are you?
689
00:29:06,266 --> 00:29:08,367
[Austin] We are
down in Osgood, Indiana,
690
00:29:08,367 --> 00:29:12,400
checking in on our
custom little built-in moment
for the Birch property.
691
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:13,700
[man 2] We have
something mocked up.
692
00:29:13,700 --> 00:29:15,567
[Karen] Okay,
so we have a box
693
00:29:15,567 --> 00:29:17,567
of six boxes.
694
00:29:17,567 --> 00:29:19,066
[both exclaim]
695
00:29:20,500 --> 00:29:22,367
So, there's a bit of
a dead space
696
00:29:22,367 --> 00:29:24,800
at the back
of the carriage house
over here on Birch street.
697
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,967
And Mina wants the filled-in
to be like a little bit of,
uh, sleeping bedroom type area
698
00:29:28,967 --> 00:29:30,667
so she tasked the boys
with building kind of like
699
00:29:30,667 --> 00:29:32,567
a hideaway thing
to make that a possibility.
700
00:29:32,567 --> 00:29:34,967
And wow,
did these boys deliver.
701
00:29:34,967 --> 00:29:36,567
You guys stand right here
702
00:29:36,567 --> 00:29:39,433
so you can get the full effect
of this double hinge.
703
00:29:41,300 --> 00:29:42,867
Oh, wow.
704
00:29:42,867 --> 00:29:44,266
-[air horn blows]
-[both exclaim]
705
00:29:44,266 --> 00:29:46,734
-[man 2 laughs]
-[Austin exhales]
706
00:29:51,967 --> 00:29:53,567
You guys stand right here
707
00:29:53,567 --> 00:29:56,533
so you can get the full effect
of this double hinge.
708
00:29:58,066 --> 00:29:59,367
[Austin] Oh, wow.
709
00:29:59,367 --> 00:30:01,600
-[air horn blares]
-[Austin exclaims]
710
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,634
[Austin exclaims]
711
00:30:04,867 --> 00:30:07,600
Oh, that face. I wish
I had a picture of that face.
712
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,500
[all laughing]
713
00:30:09,500 --> 00:30:11,100
[Austin] I was so shocked.
714
00:30:11,100 --> 00:30:12,867
Yeah, I didn't see
that one coming.
715
00:30:12,867 --> 00:30:15,000
-[mimics horn]
Oh, my God.
-[Karen laughing]
716
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,567
So, it looks pretty built.
717
00:30:16,567 --> 00:30:18,000
You said that
it's gonna be painted.
718
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,500
Any timeline on when you might
make it up to do the install?
719
00:30:20,500 --> 00:30:22,100
-We're thinking next week.
-[Austin] Next week?
720
00:30:22,100 --> 00:30:23,233
-Yeah.
-Okay.
721
00:30:27,867 --> 00:30:29,500
[Mina] This carriage house
is mostly done
722
00:30:29,500 --> 00:30:32,367
and we've completed the
install of our kitchen tile
and flooring inside
723
00:30:32,367 --> 00:30:35,734
but the outside is looking
a little bland
so it needs some love.
724
00:30:36,567 --> 00:30:40,266
The plan is that, this
and the yellow rose
725
00:30:40,266 --> 00:30:41,767
kinda to play with in front,
726
00:30:41,767 --> 00:30:45,200
and then all the pink ones
are to go along here.
727
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,166
There's five pink
and seven hostas.
728
00:30:47,166 --> 00:30:49,467
Jack and Chuck helped me
pick out plants,
729
00:30:49,467 --> 00:30:51,300
um, a few days ago.
730
00:30:51,300 --> 00:30:54,467
We'll do a loop and then
we'll make some decisions.
731
00:30:54,467 --> 00:30:55,767
[Jack] I like this one.
732
00:30:55,767 --> 00:30:58,000
-[Mina] You like this one
with the stripes?
-[Jack] Yeah.
733
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,767
[Mina] We'll get some hostas
and then mix in some color.
734
00:31:01,767 --> 00:31:06,667
And to, theoretically,
make quick work of it,
we've got MJ, Britt...
735
00:31:06,667 --> 00:31:08,867
Jack and Charlie, uh,
and myself.
736
00:31:08,867 --> 00:31:10,500
It's the cutest little path.
737
00:31:10,500 --> 00:31:12,266
[Mina] So, the river rock
goes over here.
738
00:31:12,266 --> 00:31:14,867
-[MJ] Wow, that's so cute.
-[Mina] Yeah.
739
00:31:14,867 --> 00:31:16,600
And then once we get
the fountain going,
740
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,567
I'd hang out there.
So relaxing.
741
00:31:18,567 --> 00:31:20,367
[Mina] You wanna
dig with us, Jack?
742
00:31:20,367 --> 00:31:21,867
[Jack] I'm digging
for worms.
743
00:31:21,867 --> 00:31:23,767
-You're digging for worms?
-[Jack] Yeah.
744
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,667
Jack and Charlie are, uh,
not wildly helpful.
745
00:31:30,667 --> 00:31:32,467
Charlie did help
pick up rocks.
746
00:31:32,467 --> 00:31:35,266
Jack's solely focused
on worms.
747
00:31:35,266 --> 00:31:37,900
[MJ] Oh, my God,
that's a lot of worms.
748
00:31:37,900 --> 00:31:39,367
[Mina] You're worm rich!
749
00:31:39,367 --> 00:31:41,667
-Just his little worm farm.
-I didn't think about...
750
00:31:41,667 --> 00:31:43,600
I know he's obsessed
with worms.
751
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,867
So, pro tip,
loosen it out of the bucket,
752
00:31:46,867 --> 00:31:49,600
you wanna give it, like,
a push, push.
753
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,100
Oh, that's a good job.
Okay, we're gonna roll
a little more. Now, push.
754
00:31:52,100 --> 00:31:53,667
You ready? Boop.
755
00:31:53,667 --> 00:31:55,300
Slides out like butter.
756
00:31:55,300 --> 00:31:57,967
[chuckling]
757
00:31:57,967 --> 00:32:00,433
-This all looks good.
I'm super happy with it.
-[MJ] Super cute.
758
00:32:10,100 --> 00:32:11,667
-[Tad] What's up, big dog?
-What's up?
759
00:32:11,667 --> 00:32:14,000
-[Tad] How we doing?
-Oh, not too bad.
How about yourself?
760
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,467
[Tad] I'm doing pretty well.
761
00:32:15,467 --> 00:32:18,166
-So, this is, uh... This is
one of our next projects.
-[Austin] Okay.
762
00:32:18,166 --> 00:32:20,667
Today we are
off of Napoleon Street
763
00:32:20,667 --> 00:32:24,467
and I'm bringing Austin over
so I can kind of show him
the ropes of
764
00:32:24,467 --> 00:32:27,166
bidding a job, thinking about
the whole process.
765
00:32:27,166 --> 00:32:28,867
Because I decided
to bring him in
766
00:32:28,867 --> 00:32:31,066
as the newest member
of my construction company
767
00:32:31,066 --> 00:32:33,100
that's been doing pretty well
these days.
768
00:32:33,100 --> 00:32:35,500
So now that you're,
you're on the team and such,
769
00:32:35,500 --> 00:32:37,100
you know, one of the things
we've talked about is
770
00:32:37,100 --> 00:32:39,467
I want you to pretty much know
the things that I know.
771
00:32:39,467 --> 00:32:41,166
We're doing this one
for an investor
772
00:32:41,166 --> 00:32:42,500
-and wanted
to bring you over...
-Okay.
773
00:32:42,500 --> 00:32:44,767
-...to kinda talk things
through with you.
-Okay.
774
00:32:47,100 --> 00:32:50,667
Been at Two Chicks for...
I mean, like,
775
00:32:50,667 --> 00:32:54,567
five and a half...
five years in a row
but I got let go.
776
00:32:54,567 --> 00:32:57,500
-Okay.
-[Tad] Okay.
It's not the worst.
777
00:32:57,500 --> 00:32:59,400
Uh, it wasn't just me.
It was a lot of people.
778
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,266
It wasn't performance based
or anything.
779
00:33:01,266 --> 00:33:02,967
It was a restructuring.
780
00:33:02,967 --> 00:33:05,767
It's a bummer
to be a victim of that
but it happens.
781
00:33:05,767 --> 00:33:08,266
Tad called me and,
uh, offered.
782
00:33:08,266 --> 00:33:10,700
Said that he wanted me
and, uh, you know,
that feels good.
783
00:33:10,700 --> 00:33:12,367
-So, yeah, I took it.
-Yeah.
784
00:33:12,367 --> 00:33:15,200
I know Two Chicks,
you did a lot of the ordering,
785
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,266
you were kinda in charge
of the materials and then
everything in between.
786
00:33:18,266 --> 00:33:21,667
We'll probably go through,
grab measurements,
figure out what we need,
787
00:33:21,667 --> 00:33:23,367
and then start writing
our bid.
788
00:33:23,367 --> 00:33:25,467
Get that over to 'em
and then we're prepped,
we're ready.
789
00:33:25,467 --> 00:33:27,300
-We have everything
that we need...
-[Austin] Yeah.
790
00:33:27,300 --> 00:33:28,667
-...to be successful.
-Yeah.
791
00:33:28,667 --> 00:33:31,100
Austin knows an insane amount
of construction knowledge
792
00:33:31,100 --> 00:33:33,900
and he's gonna be doing
a lot more here.
He's gonna be writing bids.
793
00:33:33,900 --> 00:33:36,467
It's a lot more responsibility
because the company
794
00:33:36,467 --> 00:33:39,266
will eventually, make money
or lose money
795
00:33:39,266 --> 00:33:41,300
based off of the bids
he writes.
796
00:33:41,300 --> 00:33:43,100
-[Austin] It's a lot.
Sounds like a lot.
-[Tad] It is a lot.
797
00:33:43,100 --> 00:33:44,667
-Hope I can bear
the brunt of that.
-Yeah.
798
00:33:44,667 --> 00:33:47,667
-All right, let's get out
of this very stinky kitchen.
-Yes. Let's do that.
799
00:33:55,667 --> 00:33:57,767
[Mina] Ooh, watch your head,
you're making me nervous.
800
00:33:57,767 --> 00:33:59,800
Construction is complete
on the carriage house
801
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,000
and we're getting ready
to reveal this puppy.
802
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,000
[man 3] All right,
let's lift this up a little.
803
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,467
[Mina] The boys
came by to install
our secret door bookshelf
804
00:34:06,467 --> 00:34:10,467
in front of the bed nook
and it's the perfect special
touch to this efficiency home.
805
00:34:10,467 --> 00:34:12,700
-It's perfect.
I'm very excited.
-[man 3] Yeah?
806
00:34:12,700 --> 00:34:14,567
[Mina] And MJ and I are doing
the final touches
807
00:34:14,567 --> 00:34:16,834
before we reveal the house
to Steve.
808
00:34:17,767 --> 00:34:19,567
He's looking so cute.
809
00:34:19,567 --> 00:34:21,767
Yeah, this is
a cute little guy.
810
00:34:21,767 --> 00:34:24,066
The main house is, uh,
not a thing,
811
00:34:24,066 --> 00:34:26,066
the carriage house is done
and beautiful.
812
00:34:29,867 --> 00:34:31,900
This side's a little bit
easy, breezy,
813
00:34:31,900 --> 00:34:34,100
beachy vibes. No too beachy.
814
00:34:34,100 --> 00:34:37,400
The other side, we're doing
a little bit bolder patterns,
815
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:38,767
a little bit more color.
816
00:34:38,767 --> 00:34:40,000
-There's a lot going on...
-[Mina] Yeah.
817
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,567
...but it all kind of blends
and looks
818
00:34:41,567 --> 00:34:43,333
-looks cohesive.
-[Mina] It does. It does.
819
00:34:44,667 --> 00:34:46,900
-Oh, hello. Good morning.
-Hey, how are you?
820
00:34:46,900 --> 00:34:48,300
-[Mina] Hi.
-I have it.
821
00:34:48,300 --> 00:34:51,266
-I have it. Are you ready?
-Oh, my gosh,
it looks so good.
822
00:34:52,867 --> 00:34:56,000
When I was with
the kids and Frank,
we ran into Douglas David,
823
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,867
and he was painting
on one of the many bridges
824
00:34:58,867 --> 00:35:00,467
where we are now
in the valley.
825
00:35:00,467 --> 00:35:03,600
So, he's also bringing
one of his paintings.
It's very exciting.
826
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,200
-[MJ] That looks so good.
-[Mina] Yes!
I love it so much.
827
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,467
So, I'm gonna
bring Steve by and
828
00:35:08,467 --> 00:35:10,200
show him now
that it's all done
829
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,767
and really assess
what the market will bear
830
00:35:12,767 --> 00:35:14,367
as far as what we could ask
for rent.
831
00:35:14,367 --> 00:35:17,333
-All right, I love it.
Let's go.
-[MJ] So cute.
832
00:35:28,667 --> 00:35:30,266
[Charlie] Those are
my shoeprints.
833
00:35:30,266 --> 00:35:33,266
-I like your shoes.
I like your shoeprint too.
-Real cool.
834
00:35:33,266 --> 00:35:35,700
All right, Charlie,
what do you think?
835
00:35:35,700 --> 00:35:38,133
-Love it. Looks so cool.
Good job, mom.
-[Mina] Is it pretty?
836
00:35:44,066 --> 00:35:45,900
-You think it's pretty?
-[Steve] Turned out
really good.
837
00:35:45,900 --> 00:35:47,166
[Mina] Yeah, it did.
838
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,367
Well, it came out awesome.
I love it.
839
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,900
[Mina] But yeah, each side's
a little bit different.
840
00:35:54,900 --> 00:35:57,367
-So, like, the black windows,
black lights...
-[Steve] Yeah, I love it.
841
00:35:57,367 --> 00:35:59,000
-...white windows,
gold lights.
-[Steve] Uh-huh.
842
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,000
Just subtle differences
you really wouldn't even
notice if you were not
843
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:03,100
-looking for it.
-Yeah.
844
00:36:03,100 --> 00:36:05,200
And the actual units
end up being, like,
845
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,266
500 square feet,
right around, but
846
00:36:07,266 --> 00:36:08,700
I feel like they feel
a lot bigger now that
847
00:36:08,700 --> 00:36:11,567
-furniture's in them.
-Oh, yeah. Yeah,
I can't wait to see.
848
00:36:11,567 --> 00:36:14,266
[Mina] So, Charlie and Jack
helped at landscaping.
849
00:36:14,266 --> 00:36:15,867
Do you wanna show daddy
the landscaping you did?
850
00:36:15,867 --> 00:36:17,467
-Let's see the landscaping.
-Let's go this way.
851
00:36:17,467 --> 00:36:18,667
I can't wait to see.
852
00:36:22,266 --> 00:36:24,300
-[Mina] Show daddy
all your plants?
-[Steve] Did you help mom?
853
00:36:24,300 --> 00:36:26,100
-[gasps] Oh.
-[Mina] Ta-da!
854
00:36:26,100 --> 00:36:27,634
[Steve] Beautiful.
855
00:36:33,467 --> 00:36:35,066
-Did you help mom?
-[Charlie] Yeah.
856
00:36:35,066 --> 00:36:38,000
-Aw. Was Jack with you
when you did it?
-Yeah.
857
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,800
I'm sorry
he's got school today.
858
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,433
Can't be here
but it looks good.
859
00:36:43,300 --> 00:36:45,000
-[Mina] Do you
wanna go inside?
-Yeah.
860
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,667
[Mina] I got a really
cool thing inside...
861
00:36:46,667 --> 00:36:48,600
-[Steve] Ooh,
can't wait to see it.
-...You wanna see it?
862
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,467
-You wanna see it?
Let's go see it.
-[Steve] Check it out.
863
00:36:50,467 --> 00:36:51,634
[excitedly] Let's go see it!
864
00:36:58,367 --> 00:37:01,033
-So, this is it.
-Wow.
865
00:37:01,867 --> 00:37:03,433
I love it.
866
00:37:14,367 --> 00:37:16,734
-So, this is it.
-Wow.
867
00:37:25,500 --> 00:37:26,667
I love it.
868
00:37:26,667 --> 00:37:27,667
I love the floor coloring.
869
00:37:27,667 --> 00:37:29,100
-[Mina] Isn't it pretty?
-[Steve] Yeah.
870
00:37:29,100 --> 00:37:30,767
We did it in
the herringbone...
[indistinct].
871
00:37:30,767 --> 00:37:33,467
I love the herringbone.
It's my favorite.
872
00:37:33,467 --> 00:37:36,967
It really does look bigger
than the square footage
you mentioned.
873
00:37:38,567 --> 00:37:41,166
Britt and I installed
the cabinets on this side
874
00:37:41,166 --> 00:37:43,667
-and I think
we did pretty good.
-[Steve] Yeah.
875
00:37:43,667 --> 00:37:45,367
-Yeah, it's really good.
-[Mina] Went a little bit
different with the countertops
876
00:37:45,367 --> 00:37:47,667
so, it's, like, got,
kind of like,
an earth vibe to it
877
00:37:47,667 --> 00:37:50,266
and the just, like, a nice,
simple marble backsplash.
878
00:37:50,266 --> 00:37:52,900
Dining area, just enough for,
like, a couple people,
879
00:37:52,900 --> 00:37:55,066
you could even put three
stools around it if you want.
880
00:37:55,066 --> 00:37:57,467
-Might've gone overboard
on the ceiling fan.
-Holy moly.
881
00:37:57,467 --> 00:37:58,767
I didn't even
notice that, yeah.
882
00:37:58,767 --> 00:38:00,567
And then the bathroom
right behind us...
883
00:38:00,567 --> 00:38:02,367
-Uh-huh. Yeah.
-...has a double vanity in it.
884
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,266
-[Steve] Oh, my. It's huge.
-[Mina] Yeah, it's got good
size, right?
885
00:38:07,266 --> 00:38:08,867
Yeah, it's perfect size.
886
00:38:08,867 --> 00:38:11,100
-So, you've got room for your
stack washer and dryer...
-Got everything-- Yeah.
887
00:38:11,100 --> 00:38:13,900
-[Mina] Separate toilet room.
-[Steve] The double vanity
is interesting.
888
00:38:13,900 --> 00:38:16,467
-Mmm-hmm. I wanted
to make this feel higher end.
-[Steve] Right. Yeah.
889
00:38:16,467 --> 00:38:20,400
And that way
a couple could live here
and have their own sinks.
890
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,867
And then the tub shower
is a one piece unit
891
00:38:22,867 --> 00:38:25,100
so, super low maintenance.
There's no grout.
892
00:38:25,100 --> 00:38:27,967
There's no seams,
there's no cock. Nothing.
893
00:38:28,567 --> 00:38:30,467
-I'll hold you.
-All right,
894
00:38:30,467 --> 00:38:32,667
one more fun thing.
You wanna see it, baby?
895
00:38:32,667 --> 00:38:36,600
Do you know where the bed is?
All right, I'll show you.
You ready?
896
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,867
-[Steve] What have
we got here? [gasps]
-[Mina exclaims]
897
00:38:38,867 --> 00:38:41,767
-Oh! Lovely.
-[Mina] Ta-da!
898
00:38:42,667 --> 00:38:44,200
Look at that.
899
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,967
-Get in there, girlfriend.
-[Steve] Yeah.
900
00:38:48,100 --> 00:38:50,100
-[Mina] So,
it's a full size bed...
-[Steve] Okay.
901
00:38:50,100 --> 00:38:52,667
...it could, obviously,
pull up further this way
902
00:38:52,667 --> 00:38:55,066
so you could have, like,
a storage bench behind it,
903
00:38:55,066 --> 00:38:56,500
have a little more headroom.
904
00:38:56,500 --> 00:38:58,700
And, when you're bad
905
00:38:58,700 --> 00:39:02,667
-I just say, "Bye."
-[Steve] Bye. Bye, mom.
906
00:39:02,667 --> 00:39:04,467
[Mina] Just kidding.
907
00:39:04,467 --> 00:39:06,500
[Steve] What do you think?
Isn't that cool?
908
00:39:06,500 --> 00:39:08,600
-Open it up
and it's a bedroom.
-[Mina] You like it?
909
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,367
I'm gonna take that
as you like it.
910
00:39:15,567 --> 00:39:19,066
We have the sisters not twins.
Do you wanna go see
the sister next door?
911
00:39:19,066 --> 00:39:21,166
-Let's go.
-All right, let's go
check it out.
912
00:39:24,367 --> 00:39:26,000
Slightly smaller plant.
913
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,367
Slightly smaller plant,
slightly different
color palette.
914
00:39:36,266 --> 00:39:38,100
-I like it.
-This is the beachy side.
915
00:39:38,100 --> 00:39:39,767
Beachy side. I feel that.
916
00:39:41,367 --> 00:39:43,567
So, no herringbone
on the floor
but I still like it.
917
00:39:43,567 --> 00:39:46,066
[Mina] This is a wider, like,
blonder plank.
918
00:39:46,066 --> 00:39:48,567
-Yeah, I like the wide planks
on the floor. Yeah.
-Yeah.
919
00:39:48,567 --> 00:39:51,166
-So, this one has, like,
a full size sofa...
-[Steve] Okay.
920
00:39:51,166 --> 00:39:53,767
...and then the opening
just has curtains so you can
kind of,
921
00:39:53,767 --> 00:39:56,100
you know,
privacy of your bedroom
if you have guests over,
922
00:39:56,100 --> 00:39:58,166
-don't want them to see in
or anything.
-Right.
923
00:39:58,166 --> 00:40:01,133
And then, it's like
our kitchen had a baby.
924
00:40:06,700 --> 00:40:10,233
I love a white kitchen, so,
it's all marble, white, gold.
925
00:40:13,266 --> 00:40:15,767
-[Steve] Ooh, I love this.
-Isn't that pretty? This is
926
00:40:15,767 --> 00:40:17,867
-French gold.
-Ooh!
927
00:40:17,867 --> 00:40:20,767
What's the difference between
American gold and French gold?
928
00:40:20,767 --> 00:40:22,600
Well, French is nicer.
929
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,133
-Of course.
-[Mina chuckles] I don't know.
930
00:40:26,166 --> 00:40:28,500
Well, let's come over here.
931
00:40:28,500 --> 00:40:30,567
Um, this is the same
exact layout...
932
00:40:30,567 --> 00:40:33,667
-[Steve] Yeah. Yeah.
-...I feel like they, like,
feel little different vibe.
933
00:40:33,667 --> 00:40:35,233
So, you got your bedroom.
934
00:40:36,100 --> 00:40:38,000
And this painting, actually,
935
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,867
-the kids and I,
we ran into Douglas David...
-Uh-huh.
936
00:40:40,867 --> 00:40:44,000
-...he painted it
and brought this over.
-[Steve] Nice. I love it.
937
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,133
All right, let me show you
the bathroom real quick.
Come here.
938
00:40:46,667 --> 00:40:47,867
Oh, I love it.
939
00:40:54,467 --> 00:40:55,767
[Mina] You know,
the light gray, kinda like
940
00:40:55,767 --> 00:40:58,400
-dove gray vanity
with the marble top...
-[Steve] Yeah. It's great.
941
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,100
-...It's a really good size.
-[Steve] Yeah.
942
00:41:01,100 --> 00:41:04,166
I think we'll be able
to target a little bit higher
rental rate
943
00:41:04,166 --> 00:41:06,667
than, you know, like,
college student efficiency.
944
00:41:06,667 --> 00:41:08,567
Come sit down.
Let's hear what daddy thinks.
945
00:41:08,567 --> 00:41:11,133
-He knows all the things
about apartments.
-[Steve] Oh, man.
946
00:41:20,667 --> 00:41:23,867
-Feel like when you were here
last time...
-Uh-huh.
947
00:41:23,867 --> 00:41:25,867
...I threw out a thousand
and you didn't, like,
948
00:41:25,867 --> 00:41:27,967
-scoff at it,
but what do you think now?
-[Steve] No. Definitely not.
949
00:41:27,967 --> 00:41:30,000
Now, that I see
the final product
950
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,567
-it feels a lot bigger than...
-[Mina] Bigger.
951
00:41:32,567 --> 00:41:34,667
-...500 something square feet.
- [Mina] Yeah.
952
00:41:34,667 --> 00:41:38,166
Garage is huge.
I think even up at 1200...
953
00:41:38,166 --> 00:41:39,834
-Okay.
-...could be doable.
954
00:41:40,367 --> 00:41:41,767
1150, 1200.
955
00:41:41,767 --> 00:41:44,600
[Mina] Even if,
while we finish construction
on the main house
956
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,767
let's say we held this
for five years
957
00:41:46,767 --> 00:41:48,467
we'd be in a great position
for sales.
958
00:41:48,467 --> 00:41:49,767
I just need
to get good pictures
959
00:41:49,767 --> 00:41:51,667
-and then we can list it.
-Yeah.
960
00:41:51,667 --> 00:41:55,300
These two units,
them being kind of like
the studio style,
961
00:41:55,300 --> 00:41:57,867
I think, with the universities
so close by
962
00:41:57,867 --> 00:42:00,800
I think it'll definitely be,
like, a younger
963
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,166
-uh, grad student I would say.
-[Mina] Grad student.
964
00:42:04,900 --> 00:42:07,367
The lot itself cost me $3,000.
965
00:42:07,367 --> 00:42:10,767
And while I put in around
$38,000 for the foundation
on the main lot,
966
00:42:10,767 --> 00:42:14,700
I spent close to $218,000 on
the two apartments in the
carriage house.
967
00:42:14,700 --> 00:42:19,567
So, I'm all in around $221,000
for the carriage house.
968
00:42:19,567 --> 00:42:23,467
And I think
with the rent price between
1150 and 1200 per unit,
969
00:42:23,467 --> 00:42:25,367
we're gonna be
in a great place
for when we sell this
970
00:42:25,367 --> 00:42:26,967
in a few years down the line.
971
00:42:26,967 --> 00:42:29,266
I think we'll probably get
that carriage house apartment
972
00:42:29,266 --> 00:42:31,166
up on the market
in the next week or so.
973
00:42:31,166 --> 00:42:34,767
Um, and make them available
for rent probably in, like,
four to six weeks.
974
00:42:34,767 --> 00:42:36,567
All right, we got a game plan.
975
00:42:36,567 --> 00:42:38,467
-Another good job.
-[Mina] Pictures.
976
00:42:38,467 --> 00:42:40,400
-You're choking me.
-[Steve] Yeah, sounds good.
977
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,166
-Good job, boo. All right.
-Let's go, little lady.
978
00:42:43,166 --> 00:42:46,300
This is a really cool area
and it's becoming
an even cooler area
979
00:42:46,300 --> 00:42:48,667
and there's just kind of like
an excitement around it.
980
00:42:48,667 --> 00:42:49,667
[Steve] Yeah. I'm excited.
981
00:42:49,667 --> 00:42:50,800
[Mina] Steve probably
doesn't even know this
982
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,400
but we have a good amount
of empty lots in the area,
983
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:54,600
um, that I think are gonna
end up being
984
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,300
-really good investments.
-Yeah.
