00:00:01,033 --> 00:00:03,400
I heard a story
that this house
is super special.

00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,066
[Tad] You know,
I'm dating Anna right now
3
00:00:05,066 --> 00:00:06,600
and things are getting
pretty serious.
4
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,100
So I just bought a house too.
5
00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:09,300
-This is it?
-This is my baby!
6
00:00:09,300 --> 00:00:12,433

-Look, baby.
It's move-in ready.

00:00:17,266 --> 00:00:19,367
[Cory] Hey, the power line!
Power line!
8
00:00:19,367 --> 00:00:20,567
Hold on, hold on!
9
00:00:20,567 --> 00:00:23,767
-Okay, go.
-[squealing] Hey!
10
00:00:23,767 --> 00:00:25,500
[Mina] This is Kelsy's
forever home.
11
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:28,700
It feels homey,
it has this Nordic cabin
type of vibe.
12
00:00:28,700 --> 00:00:31,333
But these walls
should not exist.
13
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:36,600
I wasn't thinking
about opening it up.
14
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,667
-Are you excited to see
how awesome it looks?
-Tada!
15
00:00:39,667 --> 00:00:41,000
-Yay.
-Wow.

[theme music playing]
17
00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:45,867
Hiyah!
18
00:00:45,867 --> 00:00:49,233
Mom and I take on some
of the nastiest houses
you've ever seen.
19
00:00:53,266 --> 00:00:56,166
Our team isn't afraid
to tackle
the worst of the worst.
20
00:00:56,166 --> 00:00:58,300
That is so gross.
21
00:00:58,300 --> 00:00:59,667
Holy cow!
22
00:00:59,667 --> 00:01:01,667
Then we turn
those rundown houses
23
00:01:01,667 --> 00:01:03,800
into some of the nicest homes
in the neighborhood.
24
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,433
-[man] Wow.
-[woman] I love it.

-Woah! What is--
-Oh, hi!
27
00:01:21,367 --> 00:01:22,900
Hey. How we doing?
28
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:25,166
This is, uh, looking
very different.
29
00:01:25,166 --> 00:01:26,700
[Karen] Tad comes in
and the house is empty.
30
00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:29,767
-Yeah.
-And he was a little perplexed
by the emptiness.
31
00:01:29,767 --> 00:01:31,367
I moved all my stuff out
32
00:01:31,367 --> 00:01:33,800
-because Kelsy has
her next house...
-Yeah.
33
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,900
-...but it needs some work.
-Okay, gotcha.
34
00:01:35,900 --> 00:01:37,567
So she's gonna stay here
'cause nobody likes
35
00:01:37,567 --> 00:01:38,867
to live
in construction, right.
36
00:01:38,867 --> 00:01:40,800
-Where are you going?
-Carriage house!
37
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,200
My daughter Kelsy
has been living
in her house on Hoyt
38
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,266
that we built for her
a few years ago.
39
00:01:45,266 --> 00:01:47,767
But she and her husband Neil
bought a new place.
40
00:01:47,767 --> 00:01:50,967
There's nothing wrong
with this house
and it's in great shape.
41
00:01:50,967 --> 00:01:53,166
But she wants
to make some changes.
42
00:01:53,166 --> 00:01:56,000
So she's looking at
about a six-week
construction schedule.
43
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,967
-Okay. That's a pretty
tight turn around.
-So...
44
00:01:57,967 --> 00:02:00,467
That is a tight turn around.
So what's going on with you?
45
00:02:00,467 --> 00:02:02,266
-Yeah, I just bought
a house too.
-Oh, nice.
46
00:02:02,266 --> 00:02:03,867
You know
I'm dating Anna right now

00:02:03,867 --> 00:02:06,500
-and things are getting
pretty serious.
-Yeah?
48
00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:08,367
Anna is my girlfriend,
49
00:02:08,367 --> 00:02:09,867
and we've been dating
for a while now.
50
00:02:09,867 --> 00:02:13,867
And I think Anna is Karen's
favorite extension of me.
51
00:02:13,867 --> 00:02:16,800
Yeah, if they break up,
we keep Anna and we ditch Tad.
52
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,667

That's what happens.
-Yeah, yeah. I understand.

-Sweet, yeah. Awesome.

I'm gonna go meet
Cory and Mina
over at the house, so...

00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:29,600
Maybe you'll let me
do a little landscaping.
57
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,567
Oh, absolutely.
I would love that.

I'm really excited to meet
Cory and Mina over there

because I really just want
to get everybody over there
helping out.

We've been doing this together
for a long time
61

and everybody's grown
and changed over the years.

And this is a chance
for everybody in one space

and show how their growth
and change can benefit us
as a team.
64

I have not even driven by
the property Tad bought yet.
68
00:03:01,467 --> 00:03:03,367
But I know it's a double lot.
69
00:03:03,367 --> 00:03:07,166
I know him and Anna
are buying it together,
which is a big deal.
70
00:03:07,166 --> 00:03:11,166
It's in Bates Hendricks,
which is a great area to live
since it already up and came.
71
00:03:11,166 --> 00:03:15,200
But it's pricey these days,
especially for a house
as big as he told me it is.
72
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,867
He said you walk
into the living room,
73
00:03:16,867 --> 00:03:19,166
but then there's two rooms
off of that, a bathroom,
74
00:03:19,166 --> 00:03:22,266
and then there's the kitchen
and a mudroom
also on the first floor.
75
00:03:22,266 --> 00:03:24,600
Then upstairs he said
there's just a massive attic.
76
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,667
So I'm curious
what he wants to do with that.
77
00:03:26,667 --> 00:03:29,767
So the idea is,
you know, full rehab,
78
00:03:29,767 --> 00:03:32,667
put him and Anna are,
you know, on the same page,
79
00:03:32,667 --> 00:03:34,400
they're gonna make it happen
and they're gonna move in.
80
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,500
If they're moving in together,
81
00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:38,667
it sounds like it's getting
serious really quickly.

-[Cory] This is it?
-[Mina] So this is it.

[exclaims]
89
00:03:58,100 --> 00:04:00,400
-This is awesome.
-[Tad] Oh, I'm so excited.
90
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,000
An older couple owned this,
91
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,900
they had lived in it
for 46 years,
92
00:04:03,900 --> 00:04:04,767
so it's really outdated.
93
00:04:04,767 --> 00:04:05,967
[Mina] Everything
is functional,
94
00:04:05,967 --> 00:04:07,266
-it's just outdated.
-[Tad] Exactly.
95
00:04:07,266 --> 00:04:10,000
I've been doing
home construction
for a few years now,
96
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,567
and I've learned a lot
at Two Chicks,
97
00:04:11,567 --> 00:04:13,667
but I'm ready to take
on a project of my own.
98
00:04:13,667 --> 00:04:17,166
So I bought a house
with an adjacent lot,
99
00:04:17,166 --> 00:04:20,166
and it is gonna
be great for a future
investment opportunity,
100
00:04:20,166 --> 00:04:23,367
but it's also going to be
a lot of land to live with--
with Anna.
101
00:04:23,367 --> 00:04:26,100
Aw, our little boy
is growing up.
102
00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:28,100
Sad, but true.
103
00:04:28,100 --> 00:04:29,867
What did you pay for the house
and the lot?
104
00:04:29,867 --> 00:04:32,867
Paid $212,000
for the house and the lot.
105
00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:35,834
Holy hornets' nest!
106
00:04:36,967 --> 00:04:38,700

you could hear that.

it would be [gulps]

109
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:45,567
It's only a two bedroom,
one bath right now,
110
00:04:45,567 --> 00:04:50,100
but it's a lot of house
at 2,900 square feet
to play with and reconfigure.
111
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:52,300
Not to mention
it's a double lot.
112
00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:54,066
[Mina] You're gonna pull
the lot off, right,
113
00:04:54,066 --> 00:04:55,300
and build on that
at a later date?
114
00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:56,667
-[Tad] At a later date.
-[Mina] Okay.
115
00:04:56,667 --> 00:04:58,300
-[Cory] The exterior
doesn't look bad at all.
-[Tad] No, it's in--
116
00:04:58,300 --> 00:05:00,066
[Cory] Just needs
a good power washing.
117
00:05:00,066 --> 00:05:02,367
But I want to change it.
118
00:05:02,367 --> 00:05:05,500
I'm thinking triangular
windows in the gables.
119
00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:08,200
That's what I have
on my current house
and I like that detail a lot.
120
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,567
Light, dark, bright?
What colors are you thinking?
121
00:05:10,567 --> 00:05:12,667
Uh, exterior, thinking dark.
122
00:05:12,667 --> 00:05:15,467
On the porch area,
I wanna get rid
of the handicap ramp,
123
00:05:15,467 --> 00:05:19,166
and then on this
front porch covering,
I'm thinking of a metal roof.
124
00:05:19,166 --> 00:05:21,667
-[Cory] Yeah.
-[Tad] Even black, or like,
maybe a faux copper.
125
00:05:21,667 --> 00:05:24,867
I would maybe stick
with the copper
on the gutters.
126
00:05:24,867 --> 00:05:26,567
-Yeah.
-You're gonna save
a lot of money
127
00:05:26,567 --> 00:05:28,667
and I think you're gonna get
the same effect,
128
00:05:28,667 --> 00:05:31,800
and then you just have
this nice, like,
outline of copper.
129
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,700
-[chuckles]
-Yeah. You guys want
to take a look inside?
130
00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:34,867
-Yeah.
-Let's do it!
131
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:37,233
[Cory] This is fantastic.
132
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,467
The door is really pretty.
133
00:05:43,467 --> 00:05:45,367
Look at that,
look at those sunbursts.
134
00:05:45,367 --> 00:05:47,300
You actually have glass.
135
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:49,867
-You got good ceiling height.
-[Cory] Are these nines
or tens?
136
00:05:49,867 --> 00:05:51,567
-I would say nine.
-I'll just double check it.
137
00:05:51,567 --> 00:05:54,000
Yeah, I see you
bust out that tape. Get it!
138
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,266
Yeah, they're like,
five inches short of ten.
139
00:05:56,266 --> 00:05:57,667
-I want to walk the house...
-Hey, this is fantastic.
140
00:05:57,667 --> 00:05:59,567
...and I want to tell you
what I would do
141
00:05:59,567 --> 00:06:01,066
and I want to see
if it's what you're thinking.
142
00:06:01,066 --> 00:06:04,867
-This is great.
-Pretty standard
layout so far.
143
00:06:04,867 --> 00:06:07,166
So this is the kitchen area.
144
00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:10,233
[Tad] Yeah, so kitchen.
145
00:06:11,567 --> 00:06:13,600
-[Mina] It's a big
kitchen space.
-[Tad] Yeah.
146
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,000
You can see
when you're looking down,
147
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,533
we're slanting
about two inches.
148
00:06:16,533 --> 00:06:19,900
So we're gonna lift this up
and it's gonna get my floors
back straight and level.
149
00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:22,166
[Mina] Oh, I love this glass.
150
00:06:22,166 --> 00:06:23,867
-It's not glass. It's plastic.
-Oh, it's-- Oh!
151
00:06:23,867 --> 00:06:26,300
-That's so sad!
-I know! I know!
152
00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:29,066
So I wanna keep
the kitchen here
and blow out the walls
153
00:06:29,066 --> 00:06:30,300
between here
and the living room.
154
00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:33,667
Yeah. Lots of space
to work in here.
Let's keep going.
155
00:06:33,667 --> 00:06:35,100
[Tad] In order
to get upstairs...
156
00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:36,100
[Mina] You go
through the bathroom.
157
00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:37,867
[Tad] You have to
go through the bathroom.
158
00:06:37,867 --> 00:06:39,300
This is where
it gets a little wonky.
159
00:06:39,300 --> 00:06:41,300
This bathroom is...
It's a theme.
160
00:06:41,300 --> 00:06:43,500
-[Tad] Yeah.
Yeah, we got lots of fish.
-[Mina] It's a theme.
161
00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:45,300
-Okay.
-[Cory] I love it.
162
00:06:45,300 --> 00:06:48,033
I like to eat 'em,
but I don't like
to see 'em on the walls.
163
00:06:50,767 --> 00:06:52,033
So this is the upstairs.
164
00:06:53,166 --> 00:06:54,233
[Mina] It's huge.
165
00:06:54,233 --> 00:06:57,200
[Tad] So this is gonna be
an upper living room lounge
166
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,100
with a full wet bar
and a half-bath in the corner.
167
00:07:00,100 --> 00:07:03,266
I'm thinking a patio door
right here, second floor deck
168
00:07:03,266 --> 00:07:04,700
-over that back deck.
-[Cory] Oh, okay.
169
00:07:04,700 --> 00:07:06,166
[Tad] And then through here
is the attic.
170
00:07:06,166 --> 00:07:07,967
I wanna convert it
into a bedroom.
171
00:07:10,367 --> 00:07:13,567
[Mina] Wow, there's... I love
how it goes out on the side.
172
00:07:13,567 --> 00:07:14,767
[Cory] Oh, wow.
173
00:07:14,767 --> 00:07:17,567
You could do
a main suite up here
without even dormering.
174
00:07:17,567 --> 00:07:19,233
Well, we are still
gonna dormer it.
175
00:07:20,166 --> 00:07:21,300
Bedroom over there.
176
00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:23,667
This is kind of
like a chill area.
177
00:07:23,667 --> 00:07:26,100
And then over here,
a huge en suite,
178
00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:30,000
and I'd really like
to dormer this out,
put a skylight in it, and--
179
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,767
Good natural light.
180
00:07:31,767 --> 00:07:34,467
The best part,
the part I'm most excited for,
181
00:07:34,467 --> 00:07:37,667
this up here is going to
become a loft space.
182
00:07:37,667 --> 00:07:39,166
-That's a lot of space.
-Yeah.
183
00:07:39,166 --> 00:07:40,300
-Yeah.
-It's really awesome.
184
00:07:40,300 --> 00:07:43,700
I'm thinking a nook,
skylights, carpet.
185
00:07:43,700 --> 00:07:45,767
You just definitely want
to sister those.
186
00:07:45,767 --> 00:07:48,133
Yeah. I'll throw you up there
and it'll be sistered.
187
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,667
[both laughing]
188
00:07:50,667 --> 00:07:53,467
That was hilarious!
189
00:07:53,467 --> 00:07:55,100
That was pretty bad.
It was pretty bad. Sorry.
190
00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:57,166
-Needed a good dad joke.
-That was corny as can be,
191
00:07:57,166 --> 00:07:59,967
but I've actually never made
that joke before, so...
192
00:07:59,967 --> 00:08:02,867
-I don't... There hasn't
probably been an opportunity.
-No, no.
193
00:08:02,867 --> 00:08:05,100
-This is wild.
-Yeah, there's a lot
to go through here.
194
00:08:05,100 --> 00:08:06,367
So much to just take in.
195
00:08:06,367 --> 00:08:08,967
-[Mina] All right, let's go
to the basement.
-[Tad] Let's do it.
196
00:08:11,567 --> 00:08:13,266
All right, so you smell
that poop?
197
00:08:13,266 --> 00:08:16,767
-[groans] That sewer clean-out
has seen better days.
-Yeah.
198
00:08:16,767 --> 00:08:17,867
[Cory] This is rough.
199
00:08:17,867 --> 00:08:19,667
-[Tad] No, It's actually not.
-[Cory] No, the smell.
200
00:08:19,667 --> 00:08:21,166
Oh, the smell.
Okay, I was like,
201
00:08:21,166 --> 00:08:23,967
-the foundation's
actually pretty good.
-Yeah.
202
00:08:23,967 --> 00:08:25,767
-[Mina] Is that peaches?
Oh my god!
-[Cory] Dude...
203
00:08:25,767 --> 00:08:27,767
-Don't break it, please.
-Oh! There's more there!
204
00:08:27,767 --> 00:08:30,000
Do you think we could get
Karen to open this
and smell it?
205
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,567
-Don't. Can we not do it?
-I can't look at it.
206
00:08:31,567 --> 00:08:33,667
Do you think this would
make her finally gag?
207
00:08:33,667 --> 00:08:35,867
God bless it. I was hoping
none of y'all would see that.
208
00:08:35,867 --> 00:08:37,667
-Should I crack it open?
-No, don't do it, dude.
209
00:08:37,667 --> 00:08:40,233
-[Tad] Should I do it?
-[Cory] Don't do it
right now, please.
210
00:08:45,567 --> 00:08:48,100
God bless it. I was hoping
none of y'all would see that.
211
00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:49,767
-[Tad] Should I crack it open?
-[Cory] No, don't do it, dude.
212
00:08:49,767 --> 00:08:51,900
-[Tad] Should I do it?
-[Cory] Don't do it
right now, please.
213
00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:53,567
-[tapping]
-Okay, I won't.
214
00:08:54,767 --> 00:08:56,834
I don't know.
That got me. That got me.
215
00:08:58,266 --> 00:08:59,700
I'm pretty good
with foul smells,
216
00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:02,266
definitely better
at handling them
usually than the boys.
217
00:09:02,266 --> 00:09:06,100
But whatever was in
that jar in the basement
was absolutely putrid.
218
00:09:06,100 --> 00:09:07,967
If Tad had cracked that open,
I'd have been gone.
219
00:09:07,967 --> 00:09:09,867
Like, good luck.
You're on your own, bro.
220
00:09:09,867 --> 00:09:10,767
So backyard.
221
00:09:10,767 --> 00:09:12,333
-Yeah. Let's do it.
-Yes.
222
00:09:15,166 --> 00:09:16,233
All right.
223
00:09:17,066 --> 00:09:19,100
And this is my huge back deck.
224
00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:22,100
-[laughs] Oh wow.
-It's a big yard.
225
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:24,600
Yeah, it's a huge yard,
especially for
Bates Hendricks.
226
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,867
Like, this is...
It's, I think,
like 0.27 of an acre.
227
00:09:28,867 --> 00:09:30,967
Between this giant yard
and everything inside,
228
00:09:30,967 --> 00:09:33,367
I think there's
a lot of potential
to turn this property
229
00:09:33,367 --> 00:09:35,567
into a really special home
for Anna and I.
230
00:09:35,567 --> 00:09:38,166
But it's gonna take
a lot of work.
231
00:09:38,166 --> 00:09:41,900
Outside, we'll do new paint,
a new roof and new siding.
232
00:09:41,900 --> 00:09:44,500
On the back of the house,
we're going to build
a second story deck
233
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:46,867
and replace
the first story deck.
234
00:09:46,867 --> 00:09:49,567
Inside, we're going
to reconfigure
the first floor layout,
235
00:09:49,567 --> 00:09:52,200
convert the attic space
into a main suite upstairs
236
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,333
and turn this
into a four bedroom,
two and a half bath house.
237
00:09:58,667 --> 00:10:00,667
I bought this house
for $212,000
238
00:10:00,667 --> 00:10:03,166
and I think it's going to take
about $181,000
239
00:10:03,166 --> 00:10:05,200
to get this house
where it needs to be for me.
240
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:10,100
So all in, we're looking at
about $393,000.
241
00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:13,100
I am close enough to where
if I do too much,
242
00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:15,567
I could overvalue
the property.
243
00:10:15,567 --> 00:10:17,900
Looking at the other comps
in the area,
244
00:10:17,900 --> 00:10:21,867
it looks like it would
comp out at around
$410,000, $415,000.
245
00:10:21,867 --> 00:10:25,467
So it would be really,
really nice to make it
a really beautiful home,
246
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,867
but not go above the value
247
00:10:27,867 --> 00:10:29,834
so maybe I have
some equity in there.
248
00:10:30,367 --> 00:10:31,567
[Cory] This is great.
249
00:10:31,567 --> 00:10:32,867
-Yeah.
-This is...
250
00:10:32,867 --> 00:10:34,867
I think there's only one thing
left to do, Tad.
251
00:10:35,667 --> 00:10:37,266
-Demo?
-Ride around and get it, baby.
252
00:10:37,266 --> 00:10:38,800
Ride around and get it! Whoo!
253
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,433
[rock music playing]
254
00:10:46,467 --> 00:10:49,467
-We good? Got a lot of energy
and we're excited!
-Everyone bring your energy!
255
00:10:49,467 --> 00:10:53,100
I heard a story
that this house
is super special.
256
00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:56,000
Oh, look at this.
Welcome to the crib.
257
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,500
-It's not just any demo day.
-Mmm-hmm.
258
00:10:57,500 --> 00:10:59,800
This is the demo day
of demo days.
259
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,900
It is my demo day
for my home for the next
five to ten years.
260
00:11:03,900 --> 00:11:07,567
Yeah, so on the exterior,
the siding's gonna come down.
261
00:11:07,567 --> 00:11:08,800
It's not gonna
come down today.
262
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,066
I want to know if the ramp
is staying on.
263
00:11:11,066 --> 00:11:12,867
[Tad] No, no,
the ramp's coming off.
264
00:11:12,867 --> 00:11:15,066
But inside,
we're doing a full gut.
265
00:11:15,066 --> 00:11:16,900
-[Karen] Okay.
-So it's going
down to the studs.
266
00:11:16,900 --> 00:11:19,800
-So we're smashing windows?
-Windows can be smashed.
267
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,000
I feel like Tad's house
should get
all the broken glass.
268
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,266
Yeah, yeah, you know, so...
269
00:11:25,266 --> 00:11:27,400
If you break the windows
though on this side,
270
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:28,667
we're super close
to the neighbors.
271
00:11:28,667 --> 00:11:30,166
So just break it
into the house,
272
00:11:30,166 --> 00:11:31,867
-not out of the house.
-Yep.
273
00:11:31,867 --> 00:11:34,400
And there is so much stuff
that could be in the house too
274
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,266
-that I think you're gonna
be super pumped about.
-Ooh.
275
00:11:36,266 --> 00:11:40,000
You guys are more than welcome
to go absolutely berserk,
but safely.
276
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,133
-Let's go! Whoo!
-Let's go!
277
00:11:42,767 --> 00:11:44,066
[rock music playing]
278
00:11:57,567 --> 00:11:58,867
Yeah, get it!
279
00:11:58,867 --> 00:12:00,367
-[Mina] MJ.
-Yes?
280
00:12:00,367 --> 00:12:01,867
[Mina] Look around
this corner.
281
00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:06,867
We're looking for treasure.
282
00:12:06,867 --> 00:12:09,667
[Karen] There are so many
delightful treasure
in this attic.
283
00:12:09,667 --> 00:12:11,867
-You already finding stuff?
-Yeah.
284
00:12:11,867 --> 00:12:13,166
We found some lamps.
285
00:12:13,166 --> 00:12:15,467
Oh wow, I didn't even realize
that was there.
286
00:12:15,467 --> 00:12:16,567
[Karen] An old bed.
287
00:12:16,567 --> 00:12:18,166
[Mina] Kind of
digging this girl.
288
00:12:18,166 --> 00:12:19,266
[MJ] It's pretty cool.
289
00:12:19,266 --> 00:12:20,467
[Karen] An old dress dummy.
290
00:12:20,467 --> 00:12:22,266
I challenge you to a duel.
291
00:12:22,266 --> 00:12:23,667
Old toy guns.
292
00:12:23,667 --> 00:12:26,467
-I mean, I could spend
the rest of my life up here.
-Yeah.
293
00:12:26,467 --> 00:12:28,367
It was everything.
We had so much fun.
294
00:12:31,367 --> 00:12:34,066
[Cory] Yeah, get it! Good!
Show 'em who's boss!
295
00:12:40,266 --> 00:12:42,000
[Tad] One thing that
I've been trying to work on
296
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,767
is putting people
to their highest and best use.
297
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:48,266
Yeah!
298
00:12:48,266 --> 00:12:51,467
And Mina's highest
and best use
is the excavator.
299
00:12:51,467 --> 00:12:54,066
She's worked it the most,
she's done it the most.
300
00:12:54,066 --> 00:12:56,166
She seemed like
she really wanted to do that.
301
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,467
That was pretty cool.
302
00:13:01,266 --> 00:13:02,634
Uh, what's happening?
303
00:13:03,967 --> 00:13:05,166
Hey, the power line!
304
00:13:05,166 --> 00:13:07,433
-Mina, Mina!
-Power line!
305
00:13:08,300 --> 00:13:09,834
I'm going.
306
00:13:16,367 --> 00:13:17,500
Hey, the power line!
307
00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:19,000
-Mina, Mina!
-Power line!
308
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,367
-Whoo!
-Sorry.
309
00:13:20,367 --> 00:13:21,667
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
310
00:13:21,667 --> 00:13:24,567
We've got a low hanging
primary to the house.
311
00:13:24,567 --> 00:13:27,166
It's always cringeworthy
to see Mina in an excavator,
312
00:13:27,166 --> 00:13:30,667
and, uh, today is no different
than those cringeworthy
times in the past.
313
00:13:30,667 --> 00:13:33,266
I just don't want it to fall
and anybody get hurt.
314
00:13:33,266 --> 00:13:35,066
You make sure you keep
a good eye on it now.
315
00:13:40,567 --> 00:13:43,634
Probably be a good idea
if we get a dumpster
over here. [laughs]
316
00:13:47,166 --> 00:13:49,467
[Tad] While we have
a lot of people
on demo day,
317
00:13:49,467 --> 00:13:51,967
we probably have another day
or two of demo.
318
00:13:51,967 --> 00:13:54,967
Uh, and then we'll clean
stuff up real well,
319
00:13:54,967 --> 00:13:56,467
and then, we'll start framing.
320
00:13:56,467 --> 00:13:59,166
This is gonna be
the best house
we've done so far.

What is this?
325
00:14:14,367 --> 00:14:16,233
-Mina's on it though.
-[Karen] Can we go
all the way in?
326
00:14:17,367 --> 00:14:18,900
Good morning. What'd you do?
327
00:14:18,900 --> 00:14:21,867
Well, I was sitting
inside working,
328
00:14:21,867 --> 00:14:23,467
there was a large crash
329
00:14:23,467 --> 00:14:25,867
and your neighbor's tree...
330
00:14:25,867 --> 00:14:28,667
-...came down
right in the driveway.
-Oh, yeah.
331
00:14:28,667 --> 00:14:29,767
Well, that's fun.
332
00:14:29,767 --> 00:14:31,300
We're at Kelsy's house.
333
00:14:31,300 --> 00:14:34,166
We are northwest of downtown,
334
00:14:34,166 --> 00:14:36,100
and she knows construction,
335
00:14:36,100 --> 00:14:38,100
so she was able to see
a lot of potential
in this house
336
00:14:38,100 --> 00:14:39,967
when they started
to outgrow their old home.
337
00:14:39,967 --> 00:14:43,100
And we have both
been talking to her,
338
00:14:43,100 --> 00:14:45,500
visited the property,
seen the listing pictures,
339
00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:48,000
but she actually
has possession
of the home now,
340
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,467
so we need
to finalize some details
341
00:14:50,467 --> 00:14:53,567
to renovate
Kelsy's forever home.
342
00:14:53,567 --> 00:14:55,266
It's a four bedroom,
two-and-a-half bath,
343
00:14:55,266 --> 00:14:57,600
and her and her husband, Neil,
wanna renovate the exterior
344
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,767
and main living
and dining spaces.
345
00:14:59,767 --> 00:15:03,000
Their budget is $25,000
and they wanna move in
in six weeks,
346
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,467
so there's a lot to do
in that short timeframe.
347
00:15:05,467 --> 00:15:07,400
This one's built in the 1970s
348
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,367
and there's something
about it, It feels homey.
349
00:15:09,367 --> 00:15:12,266
The vibe I get
with being in the woods
and all the trees
350
00:15:12,266 --> 00:15:14,900
is this Nordic cabin
type of vibe.
351
00:15:14,900 --> 00:15:18,800
I felt called to black
on the exterior
when I first saw the house.
352
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,867
So I think like, we could
update the color
on the outside
353
00:15:21,867 --> 00:15:24,567
-to kind of like,
bring that theme home.
-[Mina] Yeah.
354
00:15:24,567 --> 00:15:26,600
And there's this
really cool brick piece
355
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,200
-over here that curves.
-[Mina] I love the brick.
356
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,100
And I'm thinking
since we've been
living at your house,
357
00:15:32,100 --> 00:15:34,767
we've fallen in love
with chickens,
can't live without them now.
358
00:15:34,767 --> 00:15:37,667
So I'm thinking
our chickens' home
could be over there.
359
00:15:37,667 --> 00:15:39,367
-[Mina] I like that.
-[Karen] Oh.
360
00:15:39,367 --> 00:15:41,867
But wait, why are y'all
holding bird feeders?
361
00:15:41,867 --> 00:15:44,166
So the previous owners,
we met them at closing,
362
00:15:44,166 --> 00:15:46,000
and they were really concerned
that the new owners--
363
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,567
They were like, "Are you guys
going to feed the birds?"
364
00:15:47,567 --> 00:15:48,800
I was like,
"We'll feed the birds."
365
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,967
-Okay. Let's go inside.
-Let's do it.
366
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:59,100
I'm just so excited
that this is your house now.
367
00:15:59,100 --> 00:16:02,100
I know. We should bring
some of the tree in
and start a fire.

00:16:02,100 --> 00:16:03,800
-[laughing]
-Oh.
369
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,900
'Cause it's wood burning,
but gas start?
370
00:16:05,900 --> 00:16:07,800
-[Kelsy] Yeah.
There's a gas start.
-[Mina] That's nice.
371
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,800
This tile I think
will actually look really cool
372
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,400
once we modernize
some of the other things.
373
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,400
Yeah, like, everything
that's in here is good.
374
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:16,900
The house is
in great condition.
375
00:16:16,900 --> 00:16:18,867
It's just there are some
aesthetic things.
376
00:16:18,867 --> 00:16:21,166
My aesthetic is different
than the people
who lived here.
377
00:16:21,166 --> 00:16:23,867
[Karen] This roof line says
Nordic cabin.
378
00:16:23,867 --> 00:16:24,967
-[Kelsy] Right?
-[Karen] It screams.
379
00:16:26,667 --> 00:16:28,367
[Kelsy] Okay, dining room.
380
00:16:30,166 --> 00:16:31,567
[Mina] Nothing crazy.
381
00:16:31,567 --> 00:16:34,800
No, we already have
this, like, nice view,
these blinds are built in.
382
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,400
When you look at this,
I think of all the people
I can have here.
383
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,266
And so, we'll have
a good sized dining table,
384
00:16:40,266 --> 00:16:42,000
we can host people
for dinners.
385
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,567
Except if you're in
the kitchen,
386
00:16:43,567 --> 00:16:45,000
which is what I want
to talk to you about
387
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,100
'cause these walls are just...
Should not exist.
388
00:16:48,100 --> 00:16:49,567
-Not exist?
-They should not exist,
389
00:16:49,567 --> 00:16:51,367
so I would like to go in there
and talk to you about that.
390
00:16:55,166 --> 00:16:57,266
So this is my thought,
'cause I know
391
00:16:57,266 --> 00:17:00,700
you said you want
to paint the cabinets,
392
00:17:00,700 --> 00:17:02,900
you want
a different countertop.
393
00:17:02,900 --> 00:17:05,567
I know you want to keep this
to just cosmetic changes,
394
00:17:05,567 --> 00:17:07,767
but with this being
your forever home,
395
00:17:07,767 --> 00:17:09,166
I think you can do more here.
396
00:17:09,166 --> 00:17:10,700
[Kelsy] So what's your idea?
397
00:17:10,700 --> 00:17:13,500
I think-- I mean, this--
Pretty much
this whole wall gone,
398
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:15,100
and then
this would all be open
399
00:17:15,100 --> 00:17:19,233
to give you, you know,
a big island for prep space
and give you more seating.
400
00:17:20,900 --> 00:17:22,967
I wasn't thinking
about opening it up
401
00:17:22,967 --> 00:17:25,066
'cause like,
we want to get in here.
402
00:17:25,066 --> 00:17:26,000
Like, we want to move in
403
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,367
and that seems
more scope, more time,
404
00:17:29,367 --> 00:17:32,100
-more money. All those things.
-It is those things.
It is that thing.
405
00:17:32,100 --> 00:17:36,800
I just wasn't thinking that,
and I'm stressed by that.
406
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,266
I have four extra LVLs
laying around
that I can't return.
407
00:17:40,266 --> 00:17:42,667
Oh, free LVL? Do it.
408
00:17:42,667 --> 00:17:44,266
I need time to like,
wrap my brain around
409
00:17:44,266 --> 00:17:47,100
-what does that mean
to our budget and timeline.
-Okay.
410
00:17:47,100 --> 00:17:49,600
Also because I know
this little backsplash area
411
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,467
-is not your favorite part
of the house.
-[Kelsy] Right.
412
00:17:51,467 --> 00:17:53,567
-And then, we could
get rid of that.
-I'm into it.
413
00:17:53,567 --> 00:17:54,900
-Okay.
-It's not a hard no.
414
00:17:54,900 --> 00:17:57,100
-This is a soft yes.
-I'll take it.
415
00:17:57,100 --> 00:17:58,967
If we can figure it out
in the budget,
416
00:17:58,967 --> 00:18:02,600
she will be happy
taking this wall out now
417
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,266
while work is happening.
418
00:18:04,266 --> 00:18:07,767
So I'm going to try to make
this work for her financially
and on her time frame
419
00:18:07,767 --> 00:18:09,367
to get that wall opened up,
420
00:18:09,367 --> 00:18:11,634
um, and I think she's gonna be
super happy with it.
421
00:18:12,700 --> 00:18:14,367
Because with this being
Kelsy's forever home,
422
00:18:14,367 --> 00:18:16,900
I really want
to knock this one
out of the park.
423
00:18:16,900 --> 00:18:19,600
Outside, we're going to paint
the whole house a dark color
424
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,467
more in line with
the Nordic cabin style
she's going for,
425
00:18:22,467 --> 00:18:24,367
along with Mom adding
fresh landscaping
426
00:18:24,367 --> 00:18:27,166
and a place for Kelsy
and Neil's chickens.
427
00:18:27,166 --> 00:18:28,867
Inside in the living room,
we need to do
428
00:18:28,867 --> 00:18:31,000
some light cosmetic updates
to the fireplace,
429
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,700
but the big job is going
to be the kitchen,
430
00:18:32,700 --> 00:18:35,400
where we are for sure doing
a lot of cosmetic changes
431
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,767
by repainting the cabinets,
updating the flooring,
432
00:18:37,767 --> 00:18:39,166
new backsplash
and countertops,
433
00:18:39,166 --> 00:18:40,867
and hopefully
opening up this wall
434
00:18:40,867 --> 00:18:42,233
if I can get Kelsy on board.
435
00:18:43,467 --> 00:18:45,800
Kelsy and Neil have
a tight budget of $25,000,
436
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,000
so we're really going to
have to be mindful
of the changes we do here.
437
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,567
And on top of that,
they need to be in here
in no later than six weeks.
438
00:18:52,567 --> 00:18:53,900
So we're going
to have to work smart
439
00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:55,133
and we're going to
have to work fast.

in our journey.

on this project,

about Mina's new idea
with the wall coming down.
446
00:19:13,300 --> 00:19:15,266
So Neil and I probably need
to talk about it,
447
00:19:15,266 --> 00:19:18,634
um, look at our budget,
see what the risks are
and make a decision.

with everything level,
I told Tad and Cory
463
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,467
that I would be
a second pair of eyes
on his plans
464
00:20:01,467 --> 00:20:02,967
so he can start framing soon.
465
00:20:06,100 --> 00:20:09,066
-You got Tad's plans?
-Yeah, I got Tad's house here.
466
00:20:09,066 --> 00:20:11,100
Tad's house is different
than what we usually do
467
00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:13,467
because him and Anna
are designing this to live in,
468
00:20:13,467 --> 00:20:15,200
not necessarily for resale.
469
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,200
So it's fun 'cause it's just
something different.
470
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,000
Usually the name
of the game is, you know,
471
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,400
pack in as many bedrooms
and bathrooms as possible
472
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,300
to try and get
the highest resale value.
473
00:20:23,300 --> 00:20:25,200
So now that this wall's out,
474
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,400
when you come in
you got the big open kitchen
475
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,266
all the way through
to the back doors
'cause that wall's gone.
476
00:20:30,266 --> 00:20:32,467
So these two bedrooms
still kind of
in the same spot,

stuck a bathroom between 'em.
478
00:20:34,567 --> 00:20:36,266
One of these is going to be
a guest bedroom,
479
00:20:36,266 --> 00:20:38,367
but this front room
they'll keep a closet in,
480
00:20:38,367 --> 00:20:39,767
so it's technically a bedroom,
481
00:20:39,767 --> 00:20:42,934
but he wants
to make it a library
with lots of built-ins.
482

00:20:47,266 --> 00:20:48,400
to get up to the second floor,
485
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,166
and that's kind of like
a mud hall,
486
00:20:50,166 --> 00:20:52,500
and that's what gets you
up to the main en suite.
487
00:20:52,500 --> 00:20:55,066
But this is where it get like,
super unique to them
488
00:20:55,066 --> 00:20:57,166
and I think might limit
their resale a little bit
489
00:20:57,166 --> 00:20:59,000
because you come upstairs
490
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,900
and you got
the second living area
491
00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:02,567
-and then a half bath.
- [Cory] Hmm.
492
00:21:02,567 --> 00:21:04,000
And we do have
the second floor deck,
493
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,100
and then a massive
main en suite
494
00:21:06,100 --> 00:21:07,667
that has its own bathroom.
495
00:21:07,667 --> 00:21:09,767
So while it's very cool,
496
00:21:09,767 --> 00:21:11,667
I... Like if I was doing it
for resale,
497
00:21:11,667 --> 00:21:12,867
I might have done it
a little differently
498
00:21:12,867 --> 00:21:15,767
to get the bedroom
bathroom ratio
a little better.
499
00:21:15,767 --> 00:21:18,000
But I think
they're cool with that
500
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,567
because they want it to be
501
00:21:19,567 --> 00:21:21,767
-a little unique
to them right now.
-Mmm-hmm.
502
00:21:21,767 --> 00:21:24,867
And then,
above the upper living room
503
00:21:24,867 --> 00:21:27,667
-there is an upper
upper living room
-[Cory] Like a little loft.
504
00:21:27,667 --> 00:21:29,867
-Oh, right here, two lofts.
- [Mina] Yeah.
505
00:21:29,867 --> 00:21:31,767
That looks like
it could be fun.
506
00:21:31,767 --> 00:21:34,266
So, you've got
your living room,
507
00:21:34,266 --> 00:21:36,000
you got your parlor room,
508
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,166
you got your
upper living room,
509
00:21:37,166 --> 00:21:39,500
your upper upper living room,
and then your main bedroom
510
00:21:39,500 --> 00:21:41,400
-will be there...
-[laughs]
511
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,667
But they're young,
512
00:21:42,667 --> 00:21:44,600
-and I think that's
what they're, like, they want.
-Yeah.
513
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,100
To be able to, like,
socialize and entertain.
514
00:21:47,100 --> 00:21:49,166
It's gonna be
interesting to see
what design choices
515
00:21:49,166 --> 00:21:50,266
they land on for this place.
516
00:21:50,266 --> 00:21:52,300
Yeah. We're gonna
have to navigate that.
517
00:21:52,300 --> 00:21:54,100
"We're gonna
have to navigate that"?
Is that what you said?
518
00:21:54,100 --> 00:21:55,667
-You're...
-Do some navigating.
519
00:21:55,667 --> 00:21:57,166
-You'll have to navigate that.
-Andrea and I are
gonna have to navigate that.

[Mina] Over at Kelsy's,
the job of demoing and
clearing everything out
526
00:22:08,967 --> 00:22:10,600
is a pretty simple one.
527
00:22:12,367 --> 00:22:15,900
The bigger question is
what exactly is happening
behind this kitchen wall,
528
00:22:15,900 --> 00:22:17,900
and I want to convince
Kelsy to take it down,
529
00:22:17,900 --> 00:22:20,300
and how complicated
will it be to remove.
530
00:22:20,300 --> 00:22:22,500
We want to make
a nice clean cut
on that side.
531
00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:24,367
We just want to see
the framework?
532
00:22:24,367 --> 00:22:25,500
-Yeah.
-That's all our...

She wants to see the studs.
534
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,100
Good job, Toey.
535
00:22:38,100 --> 00:22:40,700
I'm trying to figure out
how we would build
our temporary walls
536
00:22:40,700 --> 00:22:42,367
to suspend this thing.
537
00:22:42,367 --> 00:22:44,500
When you go to take out
this wall,
538
00:22:44,500 --> 00:22:46,266
you're gonna have to suspend
539
00:22:46,266 --> 00:22:48,567
your framing members
on this side.
540
00:22:48,567 --> 00:22:50,767
Yes, on this side,
you build a temp wall.
541
00:22:50,767 --> 00:22:52,700
Okay, Kelsy,
let's explain this to you.
542
00:22:52,700 --> 00:22:54,600
There's a roofline right here.
543
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,867
And the weight of the roof
sits on these 2 by 4s.
544
00:22:57,867 --> 00:23:00,667
If you put a wall right here,
it's gonna hold this up.
545
00:23:00,667 --> 00:23:03,567
Well, I really like the idea
of opening the wall.
546
00:23:03,567 --> 00:23:06,066
[Karen] And their plan
to build a temp wall
on the kitchen side
547
00:23:06,066 --> 00:23:08,367
to support the roof
while we install the beam,
548
00:23:08,367 --> 00:23:10,300
which would become
the permanent support,
549
00:23:10,300 --> 00:23:11,367
should work.
550
00:23:11,367 --> 00:23:13,667
So, we're gonna have
the architect and the framer
551
00:23:13,667 --> 00:23:15,900
come take a look
and make sure that
this happens right.
552

[upbeat music playing]
553
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,467
[Mina] In order for Tad
to get the massive main suite
with the upper loft area
554
00:23:23,467 --> 00:23:24,867
and the upstairs attic,
555
00:23:24,867 --> 00:23:26,834
he's got to add
a dormer to the top floor.
556
00:23:27,567 --> 00:23:29,634
[Tad] Whoo! Let's go!
557
00:23:30,100 --> 00:23:32,300
My adrenaline is pumped.
558
00:23:32,300 --> 00:23:35,600
[Mina] Which basically means
demoing while standing
on the roof, so,
559
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,100
no big deal.
560
00:23:37,100 --> 00:23:38,867

there for a little bit,
then you're going up?

-[Cory] No.
-[Tad] No?
562
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,867
This is a dangerous operation.
563
00:23:41,867 --> 00:23:43,467
-It is a dangerous operation
-There's nothing wrong
564

with the way Cory feels.

-Because Cory's...

00:23:46,867 --> 00:23:49,166
Well, no, your mind
is saying,
"This is dangerous."

00:23:49,166 --> 00:23:50,266
-Yeah.
-"I don't want to die."
568

I love you.

Feeling that shaking.

-[Cory] Is it exhilarating
out there?

[Tad] A lot of respect.
574
00:24:10,100 --> 00:24:13,133
I think I'm gonna go
down there and start
knocking off the rest of it.

So, I think you're gonna
have to provide some
temporary bracing
650
00:26:50,266 --> 00:26:52,467
to them while you
take the wall out.
651
00:26:52,467 --> 00:26:54,967
[Mina] On the kitchen side
of that wall, we're just gonna
build a little temp wall,
652
00:26:55,667 --> 00:26:57,100
removing the existing wall,
653
00:26:57,100 --> 00:26:58,300
then get the new
beam up there,
654
00:26:58,300 --> 00:26:59,867
which will support
the weight of the roof.
655
00:27:00,266 --> 00:27:01,467
Right.
656
00:27:02,667 --> 00:27:04,066
Go with it surely.
657
00:27:04,667 --> 00:27:05,700
There we go.
658
00:27:05,700 --> 00:27:07,800
-Yeah. Yeah.
-[Mina] Easy-peasy.
659
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,467
Wow! Look at all this space.
660
00:27:10,467 --> 00:27:13,000
-It makes such a difference.
-It does.
661
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,400
[Mina] Once we got
the wall down,
662
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,800
Austin and I reinstalled
the cabinets
in their new locations.
663
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,000
It's a little snug
in here, Austin.
664
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,767
Well, better you
than me, then.
665
00:27:21,767 --> 00:27:23,867
[Mina laughs]
666
00:27:23,867 --> 00:27:26,266
[Mina] Mom is hopping in
and priming the cabinets
for paint,
667
00:27:26,266 --> 00:27:29,166
but I need Kelsy
so we can decide
on the cabinet color.
668
00:27:29,166 --> 00:27:30,100
Okay.
669
00:27:30,100 --> 00:27:31,600
I'm set up...
670
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,667
so we can, like,
get the feeling.
671
00:27:33,667 --> 00:27:36,600
I've got all these things out
672
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:37,700
that aren't actually
the things,
673
00:27:37,700 --> 00:27:39,567
but representative
of the things to talk through.
674
00:27:39,567 --> 00:27:41,467
Kelsy wants
a matte black faucet
675
00:27:41,467 --> 00:27:43,867
with a gray
faux stone floor tile.
676
00:27:43,867 --> 00:27:46,000
black sink,
and butcher block countertops.
677
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,266
Those things are set.
678
00:27:47,266 --> 00:27:49,867
We need to decide backsplash,
not necessarily today,
679
00:27:49,867 --> 00:27:51,266
but definitely cabinet color.
680
00:27:51,266 --> 00:27:52,900
So, this is our flooring.
681
00:27:52,900 --> 00:27:54,367
Theoretical backsplash.
682
00:27:54,367 --> 00:27:56,967
And then, I got
some of the black items.
683
00:27:56,967 --> 00:27:59,867
So, these would easily
represent the sink
and the faucet.
684
00:27:59,867 --> 00:28:01,166
Should we pull
this out, though?
685
00:28:01,166 --> 00:28:03,433
-What do you mean?
-This is not our backsplash.
686
00:28:03,767 --> 00:28:05,200
It's debatable.
687
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,066
No.
688
00:28:06,567 --> 00:28:07,800
You told me it was debatable.
689
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,367
I know! It was debatable,
690
00:28:10,367 --> 00:28:12,567
but I don't think
it is anymore.
This is too gray.
691
00:28:12,567 --> 00:28:14,667
The new tile is, like,
a matte bone.
692
00:28:14,667 --> 00:28:16,767
I think it's gonna look cheap.
693
00:28:16,767 --> 00:28:19,000
It's not gonna look cheap.
It's very nice tile.
694
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,667
-It's not.
-It's very nice.
695
00:28:20,667 --> 00:28:22,166
It's porcelain picket.
696
00:28:22,166 --> 00:28:23,934
And it's matte and it's nice.
697
00:28:24,367 --> 00:28:25,467
Okay.
698
00:28:25,467 --> 00:28:27,100
Kelsy has very strong feelings
about the backsplash.
699
00:28:27,100 --> 00:28:29,266
At the end of the day,
she may be my sister,
700
00:28:29,266 --> 00:28:31,700
but she's also a client,
so she gets what she wants.
701
00:28:31,700 --> 00:28:32,900
These are
cabinet color options.
702
00:28:32,900 --> 00:28:35,033
I just brought
a bunch of swatches.
703
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,100
I think those are too gray.
704
00:28:38,100 --> 00:28:40,767
-Mm-hmm.
-I think this one's
a little too...
705
00:28:40,767 --> 00:28:43,000
-Like, that's
in between there, almost.
-Yeah.
706
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,166
I wanna fall
somewhere here.
707
00:28:45,166 --> 00:28:46,166
[Mina] Mm-hmm.
708
00:28:46,166 --> 00:28:48,200
This might be
a little too light,
709
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,200
-so I'd be tempted
to go Oak Moss.
-Oak Moss?
710
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,867
I think, while
it's definitely a bold color,
711
00:28:53,867 --> 00:28:56,567
it's going to...
It's going to look
really good with everything.
712
00:28:56,567 --> 00:28:58,467
It's going to be very
Kelsy and Neil.
713
00:28:58,467 --> 00:29:00,767
And sticking with
these nature-like colors,
714
00:29:00,767 --> 00:29:03,166
like the bright white walls,
the warm butcher block
counters,
715
00:29:03,166 --> 00:29:06,000
and then this pop of green,
it's going to look
very Nordic cabin.
716
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,100
That's your cabinet color.
717
00:29:07,100 --> 00:29:09,600
We've got some black in there.
We got a little gold.
718
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,066
Do you want me to hold
a picture of the tile up?
719
00:29:12,066 --> 00:29:14,767
Um, this is mat
and off-white.
720
00:29:15,767 --> 00:29:17,266
[Kelsy] I think that's
gonna look good.
721
00:29:17,266 --> 00:29:18,500
I like it.
722
00:29:18,500 --> 00:29:19,567
Okay.
723
00:29:19,567 --> 00:29:22,600

they can't believe it ♪
724
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,166

727
00:29:29,467 --> 00:29:32,066
[Tad] Once the dormer
was cut out and
the framing started on that,
728
00:29:32,066 --> 00:29:34,066
we did some more demo
on the outside
729
00:29:34,066 --> 00:29:35,867
and found
a super-cool surprise.
730
00:29:35,867 --> 00:29:38,000
I was not anticipating,
731
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,400
uh, seeing wood siding
underneath the vinyl.
732
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,800
-[Tad] I know.
-[Cory] And the scalloped
siding over the top?
733
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,166
[Tad] Yeah.
734
00:29:44,166 --> 00:29:45,767
And the inside framing
is almost done,
735
00:29:45,767 --> 00:29:48,467
so I'm showing my girlfriend,
Anna, how it's coming along.
736
00:29:49,867 --> 00:29:51,867
-Ahhhh!
-Hi, baby.
737
00:29:51,867 --> 00:29:53,967
-Look at it.
-Oh, okay.
738
00:29:53,967 --> 00:29:56,367
-[Tad] Doesn't it look
insanely different?
-[Anna] It looks so good.
739
00:29:56,367 --> 00:29:58,100
It's perfect.
It's move-in ready.
740
00:29:58,100 --> 00:29:59,800
I know.
You're ready to move in.
741
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,467
Everybody, this is
my girlfriend, Anna.
742
00:30:01,467 --> 00:30:03,700
Anna, everybody.
Everybody, Anna.
743
00:30:03,700 --> 00:30:05,567
Uh, I brought her over
to the house today
744
00:30:05,567 --> 00:30:08,166
because we're gonna be
living here together
745
00:30:08,166 --> 00:30:10,467
and I can't make
these decisions alone.
746
00:30:10,467 --> 00:30:13,000
It's a huge house.
It's a lot of space.
747
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,667
And, obviously,
it's not just important
about what I want,
748
00:30:15,667 --> 00:30:18,600
but also what
baby wants as well.
749
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,567
[upbeat music playing]
750
00:30:20,567 --> 00:30:22,300
[Tad] What do you
think about this? So...
751
00:30:22,300 --> 00:30:25,567
During demo,
this wasn't fully exposed yet,
752
00:30:25,567 --> 00:30:28,266
but I was thinking about
leaving this exposed
753
00:30:28,266 --> 00:30:29,800
-in here.
-No, I like it.
754
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,600
Nice built-in bookshelf
back here.
755
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,667
-Some wainscotting...
-With, uh...
756
00:30:34,667 --> 00:30:35,867
The arches.
757
00:30:35,867 --> 00:30:38,233
With the arches, yes, yes.
We're doing arches.
758
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,100
The bookshelf...
759
00:30:40,100 --> 00:30:41,467
-Arches!
-Arches!
760
00:30:41,467 --> 00:30:43,066
I'm a sucker for arches.
761
00:30:43,066 --> 00:30:46,000
[Tad] She really likes
a Spanish villa kind of vibe,
762
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,400
and we were talking about
this built-in feature,
763
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,266
and I was kind of showing her
how it's built out.
764
00:30:50,266 --> 00:30:51,867
And she was like,
"Can we stick archways here?"
765
00:30:51,867 --> 00:30:53,767
And I was like, "Absolutely!"
766
00:30:53,767 --> 00:30:55,667
But the biggest
transformation happening,
767
00:30:55,667 --> 00:30:57,800
now that it's all dormered out
and huge up there,
768
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,667
is definitely
the upstairs main suite.
769
00:31:00,667 --> 00:31:02,667
Keep your eyes close. Okay.
770
00:31:02,667 --> 00:31:03,867
Very, very careful.
771
00:31:03,867 --> 00:31:06,467
Snake through.
Watch your head.
Watch your beautiful head.
772
00:31:06,467 --> 00:31:07,567
Keep walking.
773
00:31:07,567 --> 00:31:09,533
-[Anna chuckles]
-Turn around. Turn around.
774
00:31:09,900 --> 00:31:10,934
And open.
775
00:31:11,567 --> 00:31:13,600
-Ahhhhh!
-Oh, my God!
776
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:14,800
[Tad] Look at this thing.
777
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,433
[Anna] It keeps getting
bigger and bigger.
I love it.
778
00:31:17,667 --> 00:31:18,767
[Tad] All right,
keep your eyes close.
779
00:31:18,767 --> 00:31:20,667
Turn around. Okay.
780
00:31:20,667 --> 00:31:21,500
And open.
781
00:31:21,500 --> 00:31:23,000
-Ahhhhh!
-Oh, my God!
782
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,266
-[Tad] Look at this thing.
-[Anna] I love it.
783
00:31:25,266 --> 00:31:27,166
-It's all framed out.
-It's framed.
784
00:31:27,166 --> 00:31:29,667
I, babe,
we have so much space.
785
00:31:29,667 --> 00:31:32,000
-Oh, my God.
-I know.
786
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,767
I wake up, I have the light
from my window coming in.
787
00:31:34,767 --> 00:31:36,900
-Yeah.
-I roll out of my bed
788
00:31:36,900 --> 00:31:38,900
-and I walk...
-Uh-huh.
789
00:31:38,900 --> 00:31:42,266
-And I open up
my French doors.
-Yeah.
790
00:31:42,266 --> 00:31:44,867
-Pretty great.
-Make that dream
come true for me, baby.
791
00:31:44,867 --> 00:31:46,300
I'm working on it.
I'm working on it.
792
00:31:46,300 --> 00:31:48,567
I think we can do something
pretty similar to that.
793
00:31:48,567 --> 00:31:51,066
It's amazing!
I love it so much.
794
00:31:51,066 --> 00:31:53,567
I'm so excited, you know,
we have the vaulted ceilings.
795
00:31:53,567 --> 00:31:55,767
I'm really excited
for our bathroom
796
00:31:55,767 --> 00:31:58,567
and having that nook up there
and just open,
797
00:31:58,567 --> 00:32:00,667
I think it's gonna be
a really relaxing place.
798
00:32:00,667 --> 00:32:01,700
It's amazing.
799
00:32:01,700 --> 00:32:03,266
-Yeah, so...
-Look at you.
800
00:32:03,266 --> 00:32:04,433
I know.
801
00:32:05,967 --> 00:32:10,433
♪ Oh, I think
I'm going the right way ♪
802
00:32:11,967 --> 00:32:14,100
Oh, Austin,
I like what's happening here.
803
00:32:14,100 --> 00:32:15,066
Yeah?
804
00:32:15,066 --> 00:32:16,400
I wanna tell you...
805
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,600
how excited I am
for this landscaping today.
806
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:19,967
Today I have
all the boys with me
807
00:32:19,967 --> 00:32:22,200
and we're gonna do real,
bona fide landscaping
808
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:23,433
at Kelsy's house.
809
00:32:24,767 --> 00:32:27,166
So, at the top of the berm
we have a bunch of trees.
810
00:32:27,166 --> 00:32:28,767
They're gonna
provide privacy...
811
00:32:28,767 --> 00:32:31,000
Little bit higher.
Little bit higher.
812
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,767
...noise reduction,
813
00:32:32,767 --> 00:32:36,200
and they'll provide some
additional safety from
cars veering off the road.
814
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:37,900
Oh, it's perfect!
815
00:32:37,900 --> 00:32:38,867
Nailed it!
816
00:32:38,867 --> 00:32:41,900
But the real star,
the pièce de résistance,
817
00:32:41,900 --> 00:32:43,200
it's always better in French
818
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:44,600
is way better.
819
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,000
♪ One, two, three, and... ♪
820
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,233
-[Mina squeals] It's so cute!
-[MJ] It's so cute.
821
00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:51,000
[Mina] It's so dang cute.
822
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,266
Ever since Kelsy and Neil
have been living at Mom's,
823
00:32:53,266 --> 00:32:54,967
um, they've been
around the chickens,
824
00:32:54,967 --> 00:32:56,467
and I think they've kind of
fallen in love with them
825
00:32:56,467 --> 00:32:58,166
and want some of their own.
826
00:32:58,166 --> 00:33:01,367
So I thought it would be fun,
um, and a cute
housewarming present,
827
00:33:01,367 --> 00:33:05,000
to have a custom-made
chicken coop made
to match their new house,
828
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,567
um, the same kind of shape
and that same black color.
829
00:33:08,900 --> 00:33:10,834
I thought my chickens
were spoiled.
830
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:16,467
Oh! There goes the azalea.
831
00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:22,867
Oh, there we go.
832
00:33:26,767 --> 00:33:28,000
[Austin] It's set?
833
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,166
-Level it out, I mean.
-[MJ] Yeah.
834
00:33:30,467 --> 00:33:31,467
[Mina] All right.
835
00:33:31,467 --> 00:33:33,900
Okay, so this is
what's gonna happen.
836
00:33:33,900 --> 00:33:35,500
Kelsy's not getting
any chickens.
837
00:33:35,500 --> 00:33:36,667
This is where I live.
838
00:33:36,667 --> 00:33:38,634
-Mother-in-law's house.
-[Karen] Exactly. [laughs]
839
00:33:44,166 --> 00:33:45,500
[Mina] With Kelsy's house
wrapping up,
840
00:33:45,500 --> 00:33:47,367
Tad still has
a long way to go,
841
00:33:47,367 --> 00:33:48,767
so framing is continuing,
842
00:33:48,767 --> 00:33:51,400
including the cut-out
for the big door he wants
in the living room.
843
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,266
Windows are in
and he is starting
to think about design.
844
00:33:54,266 --> 00:33:55,667
-What's up?
-Hey!
845
00:33:55,667 --> 00:33:57,667
-The windows look good.
-This is the space.
846
00:33:57,667 --> 00:33:59,567
-Windows look good.
-They're cooking.
847
00:33:59,567 --> 00:34:01,100
I'm so glad
you're here because
848
00:34:01,100 --> 00:34:02,800
I'm no designer,
849
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,300
Anna, you know,
she has an idea,
850
00:34:05,300 --> 00:34:07,667
but, like, us trying
to put it together...
851
00:34:07,667 --> 00:34:08,667
-Mm-hmm.
-Yeah.
852
00:34:08,667 --> 00:34:10,400
It's tough.
853
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,500
Good news is this is 100%
Anna and I's house,
854
00:34:13,500 --> 00:34:17,300
so we can make some
really eclectic design choices
if we'd like.
855
00:34:17,300 --> 00:34:18,667
[Cory] You do you, bro.
856
00:34:18,667 --> 00:34:20,667
I will, thank you.
857
00:34:20,667 --> 00:34:22,300
Something I'm
realizing, though,
858
00:34:22,300 --> 00:34:25,166
is there's a lot of design
possibilities for this house,
859
00:34:25,166 --> 00:34:27,367
so... And it's a big house.
860
00:34:27,367 --> 00:34:29,900
So Mina's help, uh,
would be super appreciated,
861
00:34:29,900 --> 00:34:31,166
I would say needed,
862
00:34:31,166 --> 00:34:33,567
especially figuring out
the main bath upstairs.
863
00:34:33,567 --> 00:34:36,667
Okay, dormer looks great.
864
00:34:36,667 --> 00:34:38,767
[Tad] Well, first, I gotta
lay out some things here.
865
00:34:38,767 --> 00:34:40,100
Oh, look who's here.
866
00:34:40,100 --> 00:34:41,667
-Hello.
-Hi! How you doing?
867
00:34:41,667 --> 00:34:42,800
Hi. Good. Oh.
868
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,667
-Oh, I'll get two hugs.
-Oh, a double hug.
869
00:34:44,667 --> 00:34:46,300
Yeah, she came
for me first, Tad.
870
00:34:46,300 --> 00:34:47,700
-I know. She did.
-It's a double-hug entrance.
871
00:34:47,700 --> 00:34:48,767
-Hi.
-Are you cold?
872
00:34:48,767 --> 00:34:51,200
-I'm racking Tad's brain.
-[Tad] Yeah.
873
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:52,867
Are we talking about
the bathroom?
874
00:34:52,867 --> 00:34:55,200
[Tad] Mina, Mina has
a different suggestion.
875
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,100
[Mina] So right now,
when you come in,
876
00:34:57,100 --> 00:34:58,567
you just have
a giant wall here.
877
00:34:58,567 --> 00:35:00,266
-[Anna] Right.
-[Mina] You're not gonna see
878
00:35:00,266 --> 00:35:02,467
the tub, the beautiful tile,
anything like that.
879
00:35:02,467 --> 00:35:05,166
And it makes it feel smaller,
and it's not a small space.
880
00:35:05,166 --> 00:35:07,400
So wipe this wall
out of your brain.
881
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,200
I'm very open
to Mina's thoughts,
882
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:10,900
and I think Anna is too.
883
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:13,867
Uh, Anna really likes
some eclectic things though,
884
00:35:13,867 --> 00:35:16,166
so I don't always know
what's going on in her mind.
885
00:35:16,166 --> 00:35:19,000
Yeah, she has
a mystique to her,
doesn't she?
886
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,166
Yeah, yeah, she does.
887
00:35:20,166 --> 00:35:21,567
Well, I, I like it,
888
00:35:21,567 --> 00:35:24,667
and I'm unsure
how she's gonna feel
about Mina coming in
889
00:35:24,667 --> 00:35:26,367
and changing things up though.
890
00:35:26,367 --> 00:35:28,600
Now, what is your tub,
891
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,000
it comes out to about
this line in the floor.
892
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,233
And then, if you give
yourself this space,
893
00:35:34,300 --> 00:35:36,767
shower head, glass door.
894
00:35:36,767 --> 00:35:39,767
-[Tad] Um...
-[Anna] I don't know if
that would look weird.
895
00:35:43,767 --> 00:35:46,800
If your free-standing tub
butts up against this wall,
896
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,367
it comes out to about
this line in the floor.
897
00:35:49,367 --> 00:35:51,567
And then if you give
yourself this space,
898
00:35:52,567 --> 00:35:54,767
shower head, glass door.
899
00:35:55,767 --> 00:35:57,367
I don't know if
that would look weird.
900
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,900
You could either do
matte black or gold fixtures.
901
00:36:01,900 --> 00:36:05,166
-Yeah.
-I like that.
I like that a lot.
902
00:36:05,166 --> 00:36:07,166
-Pretty good.
-That's pretty,
that's pretty good.
903
00:36:07,166 --> 00:36:10,200
I was telling her, like,
we just need to talk
to Mina and MJ
904
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,166
to get this thing figured out.
905
00:36:12,166 --> 00:36:14,166
-What are you smirking about?
-I'm just happy,
906
00:36:14,166 --> 00:36:16,600
and this was very helpful
and, like,
907
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,600
I've just been
stressing about it so much,
908
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,867
so, like, having,
like, some direction,
it's just really nice.
909
00:36:22,166 --> 00:36:23,467
So...
910
00:36:23,467 --> 00:36:24,467
[Mina] Okay.
911
00:36:24,467 --> 00:36:26,467
It's really cool
to see Tad
spread his wings.
912
00:36:26,467 --> 00:36:30,367
You know, he is moving
into this next phase,
building this house with Anna,
913
00:36:30,367 --> 00:36:31,900
um, and it's just nice to know
914
00:36:31,900 --> 00:36:34,767
that he feels like
he can still always
come to me for advice.
915
00:36:34,767 --> 00:36:36,767
He may not always
like my opinion,
916
00:36:36,767 --> 00:36:38,900
but at least he knows
he can always
come to me for help.
917

I'm hard to handle ♪
918
00:36:41,467 --> 00:36:43,700

921
00:36:48,667 --> 00:36:51,367
[Mina] We're almost at
the finish line over at
Kelsy and Neil's house.
922
00:36:51,367 --> 00:36:54,500
Inside, her kitchen cabinets
are now a rich
mossy green color,
923
00:36:54,500 --> 00:36:57,867
which pairs great
with the warm
butcher block counters,
924
00:36:57,867 --> 00:37:00,600
and Kelsy's choice
for the off-white picket
backsplash tile
925
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,166
adds a nice pop
of brightness to the room.
926
00:37:03,166 --> 00:37:06,266
In the living room,
the boys made some
gorgeous live-edge shelving,
927
00:37:06,266 --> 00:37:07,667
to help update this fireplace,
928
00:37:07,667 --> 00:37:10,834
and lean into
the Nordic cabin vibe
Kelsy and Neil want.
929
00:37:13,300 --> 00:37:15,467
-A little hand mallet action.
-Cool.
930
00:37:15,467 --> 00:37:17,166
-Look at that!
-It's good.
931
00:37:17,166 --> 00:37:18,467
All right.
932
00:37:18,467 --> 00:37:20,100
Beautiful, beautiful. Oops.
933
00:37:20,100 --> 00:37:21,634
All right, let's see.
934
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,400
Yes, perfect.
935
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,467
These are perfect.
936
00:37:26,467 --> 00:37:30,433
It's been a crazy six weeks,
but Kelsy's house
is finally done.
937
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,100
I mean, how much all the wood
ended up matching.
938
00:37:34,100 --> 00:37:36,867
[MJ] Between, like,
the butcher block
and the live-edge
939
00:37:36,867 --> 00:37:39,166
-and the beams, everything.
-[Mina] Yeah.
940
00:37:39,166 --> 00:37:41,867
Kelsy and Neil wanted
their home to feel
like a Nordic cabin,
941
00:37:41,867 --> 00:37:44,567
and with the black exterior
and the light wood
throughout the house
942
00:37:44,567 --> 00:37:48,100
and all the natural light
shining through
this now open space,
943
00:37:48,100 --> 00:37:50,233
I really think we've
achieved that for them.
944
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,700
-So cute!
-Kelsy's baby.
945
00:37:52,700 --> 00:37:54,400
-Ooh!
-He's gonna
grow so tall here.
946
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,266
He is. He's got good sunlight.
947
00:37:57,266 --> 00:37:59,567
I'm so frickin' happy
with this.
948
00:37:59,567 --> 00:38:01,900
Kelsy and Neil have been
on vacation the
last two weeks,
949
00:38:01,900 --> 00:38:04,567
so they have no idea
what's happened
in that amount of time.
950
00:38:04,567 --> 00:38:06,567
I'm really excited
to show them.
951
00:38:06,567 --> 00:38:08,467
And it's so cool,
so, you know,
952
00:38:08,467 --> 00:38:13,467
now Kelsy and Tad both,
you know, my younger siblings
have their big-kid houses,
953
00:38:13,467 --> 00:38:15,000
they have their big-kid lives.
954
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,166
It's really exciting
to see them, like, grow up
and spread their wings.
955
00:38:18,166 --> 00:38:20,333
[upbeat music playing]
956
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,200
-Okay, kids, are you ready?
-Ready.
957
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,300
Are you excited to see
how awesome it looks?
958
00:38:32,300 --> 00:38:33,166
Ta-dah!
959
00:38:33,166 --> 00:38:34,533
-[Kelsy] Yay!
-[Neil] Wow!
960
00:38:36,867 --> 00:38:39,333
-[Neil] That's amazing.
-[Kelsy] It looks so good.
961
00:38:41,467 --> 00:38:43,266
I had my doubts
about a black house.
962
00:38:43,266 --> 00:38:44,400
-I know, you...
-I'm not a black house fan.
963
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,767
And you have changed my mind
about black houses.
964
00:38:46,767 --> 00:38:49,100
[Kelsy] Yeah,
Nordic cabin vibes
are happening.
965
00:38:49,100 --> 00:38:51,000
-Well, it looks good.
-Reay now?
966
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,166
Yeah. I'm ready to see more.
967
00:38:52,166 --> 00:38:54,533
[Karen] Forward march.
There's more to see.
968
00:38:55,467 --> 00:38:59,066
So, all of the pine needles
everywhere. Pine needles.
969
00:38:59,066 --> 00:39:00,467
-Cute.
-Landscaping looks so good.
970
00:39:00,467 --> 00:39:02,667
[Karen]
You have a multiculture.
971
00:39:02,667 --> 00:39:04,600
You have a bunch
of different junipers
972
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,467
with a bunch of rhododendrons
and azaleas,
973
00:39:06,467 --> 00:39:08,367
all the wild flowers
in the world.
974
00:39:08,367 --> 00:39:09,400
[Kelsy] But what?
975
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:10,266
Is that a chicken coop?
976
00:39:10,266 --> 00:39:11,800
-What?
-What?
977
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,634
-[Kelsy] Is that
a chicken coop?
-[Neil] Amazing.
978
00:39:15,100 --> 00:39:16,767
[Mina] I had that custom made.
979
00:39:16,767 --> 00:39:17,900
[Neil] It looks so good.
980
00:39:17,900 --> 00:39:19,300
[Mina] So we even
matched the shingles.
981
00:39:19,300 --> 00:39:21,000
[Kelsy] Oh,
and there's chickens.
There's chickens!
982
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,100
[Neil] Chickens already?
983
00:39:22,100 --> 00:39:23,467
-[Kelsy] This is awesome.
-[Neil] This is amazing.
984
00:39:23,467 --> 00:39:26,166
[Kelsy] I could move
to the country now.
I have my chickens.
985
00:39:26,166 --> 00:39:30,367
I'm not sure I'm gonna let you
keep these chickens because
I might live in this house.
986
00:39:30,367 --> 00:39:32,266
They go inside at night
for security.
987
00:39:32,266 --> 00:39:34,500
-Okay.
-So they're just outside
during the day.
988
00:39:34,500 --> 00:39:35,600
Is that the happy Kelsy dance?
989
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:36,900
-[Kelsy] Yeah.
-[Neil] This is very nice.
990
00:39:36,900 --> 00:39:38,667
[Kelsy] What a peaceful
little corner.
991
00:39:38,667 --> 00:39:40,367
Okay, let's go inside.
992
00:39:40,367 --> 00:39:41,333
Okay.
993
00:39:46,166 --> 00:39:48,767
-Ta-dah!
-Oh, my God!
994
00:39:48,767 --> 00:39:50,533
-[Kelsy] Oh, yeah.
-[Neil] It's amazing.
995
00:39:57,166 --> 00:39:58,667
Look at that little cabinet.
996
00:39:58,667 --> 00:40:02,066
When you put the live-edge
beautiful wood on top of it,
it looks good!
997
00:40:02,066 --> 00:40:03,200
-[Neil] It looks amazing.
Yeah.
-[Kelsy] Yeah.
998
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,266
This is, this is good.
999
00:40:05,266 --> 00:40:07,000
It's so pretty.
1000
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:08,500
I love it.
1001
00:40:08,500 --> 00:40:10,867
And your amazing dining room.
1002
00:40:11,567 --> 00:40:13,100
[Kelsy] This is
a perfect space.
1003
00:40:13,100 --> 00:40:14,066
It looks so good.
1004
00:40:14,066 --> 00:40:16,367
Your table looks
so good in there.
1005
00:40:16,367 --> 00:40:18,033
This looks really good.
1006
00:40:19,367 --> 00:40:20,667
-[Mina] Kitchen?
-[Kelsy] To the kitchen?
1007
00:40:20,667 --> 00:40:22,767
This was the big change
1008
00:40:22,767 --> 00:40:27,266
that I'm hoping you're glad
I manhandled you into.
1009
00:40:29,166 --> 00:40:31,867
-[Kelsy] Oh, my goodness!
- [Neil] Wow.
1010
00:40:31,867 --> 00:40:32,867
'Cause this was a wall.
1011
00:40:32,867 --> 00:40:35,667
All... You'd be staring
at a wall right now.
1012
00:40:35,667 --> 00:40:37,266
-How much would that suck?
-Looks so good.
1013
00:40:37,266 --> 00:40:38,667
[Kelsy] I love it.
1014
00:40:38,667 --> 00:40:41,667
I know it wasn't part of
your guys' original plan
or scope,
1015
00:40:41,667 --> 00:40:43,467
but, while you were doing
the construction,
1016
00:40:43,467 --> 00:40:45,266
it just felt like
this is the right thing to do,
1017
00:40:45,266 --> 00:40:48,700
this is how you guys,
I think, would want to live.
1018
00:40:48,700 --> 00:40:52,700
[Neil] Kelsy's been waiting
for a time or a place
where she can host parties.
1019
00:40:52,700 --> 00:40:54,867
And now you've got
a nice big island.
1020
00:40:54,867 --> 00:40:58,066
We were able to reconfigure
all the cabinets.
1021
00:40:58,066 --> 00:40:59,767
[Kelsy] Yeah, this is great.
1022
00:40:59,767 --> 00:41:00,667
And...
1023
00:41:00,667 --> 00:41:01,934
[whispers] Touch it.
1024
00:41:02,467 --> 00:41:03,867
Yeah, I love the island.
1025
00:41:03,867 --> 00:41:06,533
But you've got your nice,
new, beautiful backsplash.
1026
00:41:08,166 --> 00:41:10,100
-[Mina] Are you happy
with the black sink, Neil?
-[Neil] Yes.
1027
00:41:10,100 --> 00:41:11,667
-I know that was
a big thing for you.
-Perfect.
1028
00:41:13,100 --> 00:41:15,767
I think that tile is
perfect for the style
you were going for.
1029
00:41:15,767 --> 00:41:17,066
-Thanks.
-[Karen] It's perfect.
1030
00:41:17,066 --> 00:41:19,233
[upbeat music playing]
1031
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,967
So, we were able
to do a boat load here
1032
00:41:29,967 --> 00:41:31,667
for $25,000,
1033
00:41:31,667 --> 00:41:33,100
because Mom busted her butt,
1034
00:41:33,100 --> 00:41:34,567
MJ was helping,
I was helping.
1035
00:41:34,567 --> 00:41:38,300
And probably, honestly,
if you were gonna, like,
GC this out,
1036
00:41:38,300 --> 00:41:40,700
probably about
$75,000 worth of work.
1037
00:41:40,700 --> 00:41:41,900
We did a lot.
1038
00:41:41,900 --> 00:41:44,500
Like to say thank you, guys,
for putting so much effort in.
1039
00:41:44,500 --> 00:41:45,767
-[Mina] Of course.
-You guys did great.
1040
00:41:45,767 --> 00:41:46,767
It was already
a beautiful home,
1041
00:41:46,767 --> 00:41:48,300
but you guys made it
that much better,
1042
00:41:48,300 --> 00:41:49,600
for us and our future.
1043
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,066
[Kelsy] We couldn't have
done it without you.
1044
00:41:51,066 --> 00:41:52,266
It's ready to move in.
1045
00:41:52,266 --> 00:41:53,367
Yep. Yay!
1046
00:41:53,367 --> 00:41:55,934
Let's go outside
and admire the birds!
1047
00:41:57,100 --> 00:41:59,367
[Mina] This reno of Kelsy's
was a short and sweet one,
1048
00:41:59,367 --> 00:42:01,567
but now the home
is perfectly her,
1049
00:42:01,567 --> 00:42:04,867
and it needs to be,
because for Kelsy and Neil,
this is their forever home.
1050
00:42:04,867 --> 00:42:07,967
[Karen] It's so nice
to see my kids, Kelsy and Tad,
1051
00:42:07,967 --> 00:42:12,166
grown up, creating their own
personal corner of the Earth
with their new homes.
1052
00:42:12,166 --> 00:42:13,467
Got one down, one to go.
1053
00:42:13,467 --> 00:42:16,567
Tad's still has a long way,
but, uh, we're gonna
get it done.
1054
00:42:18,567 --> 00:42:20,667
When this is done,
I'm probably gonna cry
1055
00:42:20,667 --> 00:42:21,867
pretty hard.
1056
00:42:21,867 --> 00:42:23,700
-You're a crier.
-I am a crier.
1057
00:42:23,700 --> 00:42:25,100
[Karen] But why are we here?
1058
00:42:25,100 --> 00:42:26,600
Camaraderie is so important.
1059
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,800
So we're here
for moral support?
1060
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:29,867
[Mina]
I'm not gonna shoot you.
1061
00:42:29,867 --> 00:42:31,467
I know, I'm just,
I'm slightly nervous.
1062
00:42:31,467 --> 00:42:34,000
I don't like it.
It's disinteresting
to me a little bit.
1063
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,367
Every woman should have
some poisonous plants
in her yard
1064
00:42:36,367 --> 00:42:37,667
that her man
doesn't know about.
1065
00:42:37,667 --> 00:42:38,700
[laughs]
1066
00:42:38,700 --> 00:42:40,567
-I love landscaping.
-Me too.
1067
00:42:40,867 --> 00:42:42,200
-Whoo!
-What?
1068
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:43,100
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
1069
00:42:43,100 --> 00:42:44,767
-Hi, baby!
-Everybody gets a duck.
1070
00:42:44,767 --> 00:42:46,567
[Karen] So this is
a surprise for Anna.
1071
00:42:46,567 --> 00:42:47,767
Isn't she beautiful?
1072
00:42:47,767 --> 00:42:48,867
This is Desiree.
1073
00:42:48,867 --> 00:42:50,000
What's an Elvish ring
look like?
1074
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:51,467
That's exactly
what I'm thinking.
1075
00:42:51,467 --> 00:42:54,266
See, that's a starting point.
We could actually design it
from that.
1076
00:42:54,266 --> 00:42:57,300
This is the kind of commitment
I'm ready to make.
1077
00:42:57,300 --> 00:42:58,967
Oh, my God.
1078
00:42:58,967 --> 00:43:00,066
Will you marry me?
