1
00:00:02,533 --> 00:00:05,500
[Alison] If anyone's been
through it in this business,
it's me.
2
00:00:05,500 --> 00:00:07,266
Where'd the money go?
3
00:00:07,266 --> 00:00:10,367
At this point,
all of the challenges
that I've been through...
4
00:00:10,367 --> 00:00:13,100
[crying] Honestly, I'm sorry,
guys, I'm freaking out.
5
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:15,867
...have only made me
a better designer.
6
00:00:15,867 --> 00:00:17,634
We gotta do something
really great here.
7
00:00:17,634 --> 00:00:19,600
This is huge.
Ripping the roof off,
8
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,467
adding the next floor,
start framing.
Nothing's stopping us.
9
00:00:22,467 --> 00:00:25,533
Your fireplace stays
exactly where it is.
10
00:00:25,533 --> 00:00:27,166
Don't you dare move it
this way.
11
00:00:27,166 --> 00:00:28,500
You're not questioning
your lawyer,
12
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:29,867
and you're not questioning
your doctor,
13
00:00:29,867 --> 00:00:30,000
so don't question
your designer.
14
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,333
so don't question
your designer.
15
00:00:33,066 --> 00:00:35,000
-We've been trying to figure
out what to do with that.
-What to do.
16
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,500
[Alison] Oh,
I know what to do here.
17
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:39,367
-You were right.
-That's what this is,
the main bedroom retreat.
18
00:00:39,367 --> 00:00:40,867
Cabinets won't go
to the ceiling,
19
00:00:40,867 --> 00:00:43,100
which goes completely against
what I always say.
20
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:45,467
But guess what?
It's a new day.
21
00:00:52,166 --> 00:00:55,066
I'm putting all my passion,
all of my love for design
22
00:00:55,066 --> 00:00:56,634
into my clients' homes.
23
00:00:56,634 --> 00:00:58,000
Giving them the best
of the best.
24
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,500
-[man 1] Oh, my God.
Look at that.
-Oh, my gosh.
25
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:00,000
[Alison] This banquet area,
beautiful built-in.
26
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,266
[Alison] This banquet area,
beautiful built-in.
27
00:01:02,266 --> 00:01:04,634
No one can stop us
from designing.
28
00:01:06,967 --> 00:01:09,266
This is where we belong,
we belong in the wild.
29
00:01:09,266 --> 00:01:10,166
Look at these!
30
00:01:10,166 --> 00:01:11,467
Our natural habitat.
31
00:01:11,467 --> 00:01:14,100
How pretty is that?
This needs something amazing.
32
00:01:14,100 --> 00:01:16,700
-When we find the piece,
we build the house around it.
-[woman] Yeah.
33
00:01:16,700 --> 00:01:17,967
Now we're going custom.
34
00:01:17,967 --> 00:01:20,266
-You are custom,
what the hell?
-I know, you're right.
35
00:01:20,266 --> 00:01:21,533
[both laughing]
36
00:01:22,700 --> 00:01:25,367
[man 2] Our budget
isn't $290,000.
Our budget is $250,000.
37
00:01:25,367 --> 00:01:28,100
Be realistic,
you're not on the same page.
38
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:30,000
-I get it, I'm not gonna say
that that's real.
-[speaking indistinctly]
39
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,066
-I get it, I'm not gonna say
that that's real.
-[speaking indistinctly]
40
00:01:30,066 --> 00:01:31,600
It's not as easy
as they think.
41
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,266
That could be another $40,000.
42
00:01:33,266 --> 00:01:36,166
-I'm broke. We're rationing.
-No. No.
43
00:01:36,166 --> 00:01:39,600
We've got a notice to vacate.
Thirty days where we don't
know where we're gonna live.
44
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,367
-Oh, God.
-[man 3] Shoot,
I'm going crazy.
45
00:01:41,367 --> 00:01:44,734
-[Alison] Every job
is personal.
-It's been so stressful.
46
00:01:44,734 --> 00:01:47,000
I wouldn't wish this
on an enemy.
47
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,634
I can't sleep,
I don't know what to do.
48
00:01:48,634 --> 00:01:49,800
We're gonna get this resolved.
49
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,467
[crying] I just wanna
get it done for my family.
[sniffles]
50
00:01:52,467 --> 00:01:53,734
I don't care
if I have to pay for it.
51
00:01:53,734 --> 00:01:55,367
This is getting fixed.
52
00:01:55,367 --> 00:01:58,266
We will overcome
anything and everything.
53
00:02:01,166 --> 00:02:02,634
Nothing I do is easy,
54
00:02:02,634 --> 00:02:05,634
but every single one of 'em
feels like it's a piece of me
55
00:02:05,634 --> 00:02:07,500
and it is always worth it.
56
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:09,500
Oh my! Oh!
57
00:02:09,500 --> 00:02:11,467
-[shrieks] Yes!
-[Alison] Yes! [laughs]
58
00:02:11,467 --> 00:02:13,166
-[man 4] This is gorgeous.
-Oh, my God!
59
00:02:13,166 --> 00:02:14,533
I love it!
60
00:02:15,367 --> 00:02:17,467
[fireworks bursting]
61
00:02:17,467 --> 00:02:19,867
-I'm so excited, thank you.
-To your dream house.
62
00:02:19,867 --> 00:02:21,100
I think.
63
00:02:37,266 --> 00:02:39,500
-[Alison in French] Bonjour.
-[in French] Bonjour, madame.
64
00:02:39,500 --> 00:02:41,066
- Bienvenue.
-[Alison] Tres bien.
65
00:02:41,066 --> 00:02:43,600
[in English] I speak English,
do you speak... [chuckles]
66
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,066
-Oui.
-[Alison in French] Oui.
67
00:02:45,066 --> 00:02:47,266
-[in English] Welcome, madam.
-[Alison] Ah, merci! [laughs]
68
00:02:47,266 --> 00:02:48,600
Please.
69
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,367
[in English] I am in
my favorite place on earth,
I'm in Paris.
70
00:02:51,367 --> 00:02:53,900
I am in my dreamland.
71
00:02:54,367 --> 00:02:56,367
Oh, my gosh.
72
00:02:56,367 --> 00:02:59,500
I'm here to unwind and relax
73
00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:00,000
and find my inspiration again.
74
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,266
and find my inspiration again.
75
00:03:02,266 --> 00:03:04,533
I was losing steam back home.
76
00:03:04,533 --> 00:03:07,867
I felt myself getting
very angry and upset.
77
00:03:07,867 --> 00:03:10,867
And I wasn't really truly
loving what I was doing
anymore.
78
00:03:10,867 --> 00:03:12,967
That's really scary
for someone like me
79
00:03:12,967 --> 00:03:15,467
because this is
what I'm really in love with.
80
00:03:15,467 --> 00:03:16,900
Look at this!
81
00:03:18,266 --> 00:03:20,367
I want to go explore,
walk around,
82
00:03:20,367 --> 00:03:22,634
I wanted to shop and eat
and I wanna spend some time
83
00:03:22,634 --> 00:03:26,066
with some friends
that I know out here
and that I've met out here.
84
00:03:26,066 --> 00:03:29,367
-Bonjour! So good.
-How are you, my dear?
85
00:03:29,367 --> 00:03:30,000
-Muah.
-Muah, muah.
86
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,100
-Muah.
-Muah, muah.
87
00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:33,066
-You look beautiful.
-And you,
88
00:03:33,066 --> 00:03:35,700
-and you look beautiful too.
-Merci beaucoup.
89
00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:37,100
[Albane] I'm so happy
to see you.
90
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:38,867
[in English] I'm so happy
to be in Paris.
91
00:03:38,867 --> 00:03:42,166
I've known Albane for years,
and she is the perfect person
92
00:03:42,166 --> 00:03:44,734
to hang out and drink
Champagne with
when I'm in Paris.
93
00:03:44,734 --> 00:03:47,100
Paris is my favorite place
on earth.
94
00:03:47,100 --> 00:03:49,166
I needed a break from work,
a break from life.
95
00:03:49,166 --> 00:03:52,367
I wanted to be able to
come here and find
inspiration again
96
00:03:52,367 --> 00:03:55,100
because walking the streets
of Paris, I get inspired.
97
00:03:55,100 --> 00:03:57,500
-I can understand that.
-[Alison] You know
what I mean.
98
00:03:57,500 --> 00:04:00,000
I lived all my life in Paris.
99
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:00,266
I lived all my life in Paris.
100
00:04:00,266 --> 00:04:04,600
I love this city,
and you have to
discover Paris by night,
101
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:05,967
-Paris during the day...
-[Alison] I know.
102
00:04:05,967 --> 00:04:08,000
-...Paris everytimes.
-With you!
103
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,367
-[Albane] With me!
-Yes, and it's been so long.
104
00:04:10,367 --> 00:04:13,166
And I thought,
"If there's someone
that's gonna show me Paris,
105
00:04:13,166 --> 00:04:14,500
-you're the specialist."
-Oh, yes.
106
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:17,000
Well, here is to friendship...
107
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,266
-Friendship.
-...to Paris.
108
00:04:18,266 --> 00:04:22,500
-Paris.
-...and to an amazing
three weeks here.
109
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:24,166
Great!
110
00:04:33,734 --> 00:04:36,533
[Alison] Three weeks in Paris
was exactly what I needed
111
00:04:36,533 --> 00:04:39,100
[stewardess over speaker]
We will be landing
in Chicago soon, thank you.
112
00:04:40,166 --> 00:04:41,700
[Alison] Now,
I'm back home in Chicago.
113
00:04:41,700 --> 00:04:44,367
I feel really refreshed,
I feel really inspired.
114
00:04:44,367 --> 00:04:46,266
And, some old friends of mine
are gonna come over
115
00:04:46,266 --> 00:04:48,433
-with a new project
to talk about.
-[knocking on door]
116
00:04:49,867 --> 00:04:52,600
-[Alison] Hello!
-Hey!
117
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,100
[Alison] How are you?
118
00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:55,734
-So, nice to see you.
-[Alison speaks indistinctly]
119
00:04:55,734 --> 00:04:58,000
-How are you?
-[Alison] Hi, guys, welcome.
120
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,066
Good to see you.
121
00:04:59,066 --> 00:05:00,000
Mike and Jennifer are
really old friends of mine.
122
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,100
Mike and Jennifer are
really old friends of mine.
123
00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:06,166
I actually designed their
kitchen 10 years ago,
almost 11.
124
00:05:06,166 --> 00:05:10,066
So, to get a text from Mike
and say, "Help us design
our dream home,"
125
00:05:10,066 --> 00:05:12,500
was great text to get
'cause I really like them.
126
00:05:12,500 --> 00:05:14,166
They're just a good,
fun couple,
127
00:05:14,166 --> 00:05:16,000
and if I'm getting back
in the client game,
128
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,266
I wanna know and love them
and, and I do.
129
00:05:19,266 --> 00:05:22,166
Last time I was with you guys
was 10 years ago.
130
00:05:22,166 --> 00:05:25,734
-You saved the marriage
ten years ago.
-[both laughing]
131
00:05:25,734 --> 00:05:28,000
-[Mike] Yeah?
-And the kitchen turned out
incredible.
132
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,266
-Yeah.
-[Alison] It was so beautiful.
133
00:05:29,266 --> 00:05:30,000
Honestly, 10 years,
134
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,266
Honestly, 10 years,
135
00:05:31,266 --> 00:05:34,266
-is a long-ass time
for us to look this good.
-[Mike] Yeah.
136
00:05:34,266 --> 00:05:36,066
Yeah. [laughing]
137
00:05:36,066 --> 00:05:37,367
-[Alison] Come on.
-Let's keep on sayin' it.
138
00:05:37,367 --> 00:05:41,066
-Again, you two.
-You haven't changed at all.
139
00:05:41,066 --> 00:05:43,533
-I hope I have.
I've grown inside.
-At all.
140
00:05:43,533 --> 00:05:45,967
-Me, I'm aging
like a catcher's mitt.
-[Alison laughs]
141
00:05:45,967 --> 00:05:47,333
How old are the kids?
142
00:05:47,333 --> 00:05:52,266
[Jennifer] Michael is seven,
he's an angel,
Gianna is four and...
143
00:05:52,266 --> 00:05:55,734
-[Mike] She's me.
-[laughs] Hundred to the core.
144
00:05:56,634 --> 00:05:58,066
The house that they bought is
145
00:05:58,066 --> 00:06:00,000
a one-story, small,
little bungalow.
146
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,166
a one-story, small,
little bungalow.
147
00:06:02,166 --> 00:06:05,000
It's on the outskirts
of Chicago where a lot
of the city workers are,
148
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,867
firefighters, cops,
people in the medical field.
149
00:06:07,867 --> 00:06:09,467
That's what Mike does,
he's a firefighter.
150
00:06:09,467 --> 00:06:11,066
He's been doing it
the whole time I've known him.
151
00:06:11,066 --> 00:06:15,233
The house is awesome.
Tons of potential,
but it needs so much work.
152
00:06:16,166 --> 00:06:18,367
-Everything goes.
-What you did for our kitchen
153
00:06:18,367 --> 00:06:20,266
-without us having
any knowledge...
-[Alison] Yeah.
154
00:06:20,266 --> 00:06:22,700
...I loved, so any input
155
00:06:22,700 --> 00:06:25,500
-on your end is...
-[Mike] Why we made the call.
156
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:29,266
We are polar opposites
on what we like
and what we don't like,
157
00:06:29,266 --> 00:06:30,000
that's why we recruited
Alison to come back in.
158
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,600
that's why we recruited
Alison to come back in.
159
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,867
-So, here's the plans.
-Are these plans that you've
160
00:06:33,867 --> 00:06:35,600
-already done
with the architect?
-Yes.
161
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:36,800
Oh, got it, okay.
162
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,734
There's a ton of construction
in this, there's no second
floor.
163
00:06:39,734 --> 00:06:41,166
This is getting
completely built.
164
00:06:41,166 --> 00:06:42,967
[Mike] That's right.
It's gonna be
a full second floor.
165
00:06:42,967 --> 00:06:44,500
-[Alison] Awesome.
-[Jennifer] And we're
actually extending
166
00:06:44,500 --> 00:06:46,867
-the back of the house
as well.
-[Alison] Going back.
167
00:06:46,867 --> 00:06:49,266
-Let me just mess with this
main floor.
-[Mike] Okay.
168
00:06:49,266 --> 00:06:51,467
-Okay.
-I promise you'll be happy.
169
00:06:51,467 --> 00:06:54,266
I know what I don't like,
170
00:06:54,266 --> 00:06:57,367
but I'm not exactly sure
what I do like.
171
00:06:57,367 --> 00:07:00,000
-Modern? A mix?
-I'm not super modern.
172
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:00,166
-Modern? A mix?
-I'm not super modern.
173
00:07:00,166 --> 00:07:01,533
-Okay.
-I'm modern.
174
00:07:02,266 --> 00:07:03,700
-I'm not.
-I want, like, robots
175
00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:06,066
-and stuff like that.
-No, you want cleans.
176
00:07:06,066 --> 00:07:08,266
-Yes.
-Come back to me
in three weeks,
177
00:07:08,266 --> 00:07:11,000
-and I'll show you
your house. Samples--
-[Jennifer] That in itself...
178
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,600
-[Alison] Yeah.
-...is amazing.
179
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,500
-We need that.
-Okay.
180
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:17,266
Gotcha. You're adding
whole second floor,
181
00:07:17,266 --> 00:07:20,066
which you're gonna addition,
you want nicer things.
182
00:07:20,066 --> 00:07:24,166
The bank has allotted us
$375,000 from start to finish.
183
00:07:24,166 --> 00:07:26,600
-Okay.
-[Mike] Hoping to be
on the lower end
184
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,867
-of the 300s.
-What's your lower end?
185
00:07:28,867 --> 00:07:30,000
-$325,000, $330,000.
-So, you'd like to keep it
at $325,000,
186
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,967
-$325,000, $330,000.
-So, you'd like to keep it
at $325,000,
187
00:07:31,967 --> 00:07:33,867
but you are approved for
$375,000 with the bank loan.
188
00:07:33,867 --> 00:07:36,166
-That's right.
Anything we can save.
-[Alison] Got it.
189
00:07:36,166 --> 00:07:39,600
I want you to think big,
and then I wanna see
what I can actually give you.
190
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:40,634
-Okay.
-[Alison] Is that cool?
191
00:07:40,634 --> 00:07:43,266
-Yes.
-Here's to 10 years later.
192
00:07:43,266 --> 00:07:44,467
-Yes.
-Thank you,
193
00:07:44,467 --> 00:07:46,100
-for everything.
-Not just a kitchen,
a whole house...
194
00:07:46,100 --> 00:07:47,533
-A whole house.
-...and I'm so excited
195
00:07:47,533 --> 00:07:50,634
-that we're back together.
To your dream house.
-So excited, thank you.
196
00:07:51,266 --> 00:07:53,066
I think it's gonna be
beautiful.
197
00:07:56,867 --> 00:07:59,467
This house needs so much work.
198
00:07:59,467 --> 00:08:00,000
Mike and Jen's $375,000 budget
is really going fast,
199
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,734
Mike and Jen's $375,000 budget
is really going fast,
200
00:08:03,734 --> 00:08:06,600
and luckily Mike's got
a big crew we can put to work.
201
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,433
Get inside and go
do somethin'.
202
00:08:14,100 --> 00:08:17,467
I brought over 12 of my good
buddies from the firehouse.
203
00:08:17,467 --> 00:08:19,500
Everything is coming out.
204
00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:21,867
We're pullin' ceiling,
pullin' down walls.
205
00:08:21,867 --> 00:08:24,533
I'm gonna start knocking some
of this down from up here.
206
00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:28,634
We wanted to build something
that was our own,
207
00:08:28,634 --> 00:08:30,000
so to have little bit of
my sweat involved
in the whole thing,
208
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,066
so to have little bit of
my sweat involved
in the whole thing,
209
00:08:32,066 --> 00:08:33,634
makes it a little bit
more satisfying.
210
00:08:46,867 --> 00:08:49,266
-[Alison] Hi!
-[Mike] Hello!
211
00:08:49,266 --> 00:08:52,700
-[Jennifer] I'm so excited!
-I'm so excited!
212
00:08:52,700 --> 00:08:54,600
Jennifer wants
the farmhouse chic,
213
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,700
she wants really
livable, timeless.
214
00:08:56,700 --> 00:08:59,500
Mike wants a more modern look,
he wants clean lines.
215
00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:00,000
So, I'm trying to marry
those two looks together
to give them what they want.
216
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,266
So, I'm trying to marry
those two looks together
to give them what they want.
217
00:09:03,266 --> 00:09:04,867
They need the vision,
they need the help.
218
00:09:04,867 --> 00:09:07,367
It's a big project,
so Kristy and I
pulled together
219
00:09:07,367 --> 00:09:10,967
some samples
that help them go,
"Yes, this is my house."
220
00:09:10,967 --> 00:09:12,967
-We're telling you
what you're doing.
-[Jennifer] Yes.
221
00:09:12,967 --> 00:09:15,634
-Cool? Too many options
are overwhelming.
-[Jennifer] Yeah.
222
00:09:15,634 --> 00:09:17,266
[Alison] So, we wanna
walk you through it.
223
00:09:17,266 --> 00:09:19,867
These are gonna be
our luxury vinyl floors,
224
00:09:19,867 --> 00:09:22,467
wide plank,
it's gonna allow us
to run into the bathroom.
225
00:09:22,467 --> 00:09:25,166
Durability-wise too,
it's very valid, yeah.
226
00:09:25,166 --> 00:09:27,600
[Alison] This is the choice
that I will let you guys
decide,
227
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,734
because everything else,
we're just gonna tell you
what you're doing.
228
00:09:29,734 --> 00:09:30,000
-[Jennifer] You like
this one?
-[Mike] I like that one.
229
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,100
-[Jennifer] You like
this one?
-[Mike] I like that one.
230
00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:32,734
-I think I do too.
-[Alison] There we go.
231
00:09:32,734 --> 00:09:35,166
-The first thing we agreed on.
-[Alison] You guys!
232
00:09:35,166 --> 00:09:39,734
-Look at that, huh! [chuckles]
-[Kristy and Alison
speak indistinctly]
233
00:09:39,734 --> 00:09:43,467
-Get out of here.
-[all laughing]
234
00:09:43,467 --> 00:09:47,467
[Alison] Kitchen,
I'm gonna bring in
beautiful soft grey cabinetry.
235
00:09:47,467 --> 00:09:50,467
The island's gonna be
in a rich stain grade.
236
00:09:50,467 --> 00:09:53,467
Your backsplash is a twist
on a subway tile,
237
00:09:53,467 --> 00:09:57,000
and then a gorgeous countertop
with heavy veining.
238
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,000
And a custom copper hood
with wood trim.
239
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,000
And a custom copper hood
with wood trim.
240
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Copper gives that
real farmhouse look.
241
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,867
-Like a Moscow Mule cup.
-[Alison] Yes,
a Moscow Mule cup.
242
00:10:05,867 --> 00:10:07,166
-I think it looks great.
-Okay.
243
00:10:07,700 --> 00:10:09,533
[Alison] Main bathroom.
244
00:10:09,533 --> 00:10:11,700
We're gonna run the luxury
vinyl flooring
245
00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:14,166
into the bathroom
because it's waterproof,
246
00:10:14,166 --> 00:10:16,734
and then we're gonna have
a marble mosaic
for the shower floor
247
00:10:16,734 --> 00:10:18,734
and a gorgeous shower tile.
248
00:10:18,734 --> 00:10:20,700
You're gonna have
three showerheads,
249
00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:22,700
and a rainhead,
and a handheld,
250
00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:26,100
and a steam shower,
plus a double vanity.
251
00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:29,100
This tile comes in a matte
and a glossy finish,
252
00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:30,000
and then you've get one row
of this little grey liner.
253
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,600
and then you've get one row
of this little grey liner.
254
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,000
-It's amazing.
-I think it looks great.
255
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,166
It's the first time that
I'm able to visualize
our home.
256
00:10:40,166 --> 00:10:42,533
Seeing it come to life.
257
00:10:42,533 --> 00:10:44,867
-It's beautiful.
-We're gonna look at cost too.
258
00:10:44,867 --> 00:10:47,000
If we have to cut some areas,
we will.
259
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,600
It's go time.
It's time to order everything.
260
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,634
Now it's just,
"Are the numbers gonna work?"
261
00:10:51,634 --> 00:10:52,700
'Cause they loved it all,
262
00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:55,333
but when it comes down
to numbers, things change.
263
00:11:01,166 --> 00:11:04,700
[gasps] Oh! [chuckles]
264
00:11:04,700 --> 00:11:07,467
I'm meeting with
Jennifer and Mike today.
265
00:11:07,467 --> 00:11:09,500
-[Jennifer] Welcome,
how are you?
-[Alison] Hi!
266
00:11:09,500 --> 00:11:11,634
They're struggling a lot
with their floor plan,
267
00:11:11,634 --> 00:11:14,266
and that is something that
most people do struggle with.
268
00:11:14,266 --> 00:11:16,000
Designers exist for a reason,
269
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,634
because we come up with
what is feasible,
270
00:11:19,634 --> 00:11:22,000
but also what's best for you
and your family.
271
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,600
Now, it's time to
really figure out
272
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,533
what the lay of the land's
gonna be.
273
00:11:25,533 --> 00:11:27,000
-[Jennifer] Sounds good.
-[Alison] Let's go over this,
274
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,066
'cause I know you have to
get this to the city.
275
00:11:29,066 --> 00:11:30,000
All right, I'm just gonna
lay 'em out.
276
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,000
All right, I'm just gonna
lay 'em out.
277
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,266
Okay, this is your
architect's plan.
278
00:11:33,266 --> 00:11:36,700
It doesn't function well
for any furniture layout,
whatsoever.
279
00:11:36,700 --> 00:11:41,166
I know you want more,
so let's, let's peek at
what more can look like.
280
00:11:41,166 --> 00:11:44,166
Option A: Your family room
becomes the front room.
281
00:11:44,166 --> 00:11:47,634
This wall here could be
a dry bar or a coffee bar.
282
00:11:47,634 --> 00:11:50,166
Plus, it separates the space,
so I like that.
283
00:11:50,166 --> 00:11:53,266
-I do like the idea
of the dry bar.
-And you love a coffee bar.
284
00:11:53,266 --> 00:11:55,367
-Yeah, I like the coffee bar.
[laughs]
-See!
285
00:11:55,367 --> 00:11:59,533
But, we were in agreement
with a complete open floor
plan.
286
00:11:59,533 --> 00:12:00,000
[Alison] Okay, option B.
Picture it.
287
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,967
[Alison] Okay, option B.
Picture it.
288
00:12:02,967 --> 00:12:04,533
Family room still up front.
289
00:12:04,533 --> 00:12:07,266
This flops that
powder room area,
290
00:12:07,266 --> 00:12:09,500
so still have the closet here
for storage,
291
00:12:09,500 --> 00:12:13,367
and we could still do
the coffee bar slash dry bar.
292
00:12:13,367 --> 00:12:15,266
It just moves here
against the powder room.
293
00:12:15,266 --> 00:12:18,000
And then this banquet area,
294
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,467
and right above it,
this beautiful built-in.
295
00:12:20,467 --> 00:12:22,867
-[Jennifer] Yeah.
-All these rustic shelves,
296
00:12:22,867 --> 00:12:25,867
-that's what gives you that
really cool farmhousy feel.
-[Alison] Yeah.
297
00:12:25,867 --> 00:12:29,467
Yeah. And your hood,
that I'm gonna make so sexy.
298
00:12:29,467 --> 00:12:30,000
This isn't in the way anymore.
299
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,266
This isn't in the way anymore.
300
00:12:31,266 --> 00:12:33,467
We're goin' into the kitchen.
301
00:12:33,467 --> 00:12:35,467
You're gonna have plenty
of storage with the island,
302
00:12:35,467 --> 00:12:37,967
you're gonna have plenty
of storage with all
of the cabinetry.
303
00:12:37,967 --> 00:12:39,700
-You got a view to the yard.
-[Jennifer] Yes.
304
00:12:39,700 --> 00:12:41,166
You've got a view
of the family room.
305
00:12:41,166 --> 00:12:43,000
The kids are gonna be in there
the whole time,
306
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,734
-or they're gonna be over here
in the banquet...
-[Jennifer] Yeah.
307
00:12:44,734 --> 00:12:46,467
-Right.
-...'cause this area
is cool too.
308
00:12:46,467 --> 00:12:48,600
-And you're just really
gonna see it all.
-[Jennifer] You see it all.
309
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,533
-I think this is perfect.
-[Alison] I love this.
310
00:12:50,533 --> 00:12:53,166
This feels real
and it feels good.
311
00:12:53,166 --> 00:12:54,467
[Mike] I have
a legit question.
312
00:12:54,467 --> 00:12:58,100
-We're in the corrections
phase right now.
-[Alison] Yup.
313
00:12:58,100 --> 00:13:00,000
The way he makes it sound is,
like, submitting another
drawing
314
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,700
The way he makes it sound is,
like, submitting another
drawing
315
00:13:01,700 --> 00:13:05,700
for the original is gonna be
a [bleep] nightmare.
316
00:13:05,700 --> 00:13:07,533
-Welcome to
the building department.
-[Mike] We are--
317
00:13:07,533 --> 00:13:09,266
-I'm literally this close.
-I know,
318
00:13:09,266 --> 00:13:11,500
but you're still in
the building department?
319
00:13:11,500 --> 00:13:13,467
-I get it.
-[Alison] Have you gone
down there yet yourself?
320
00:13:13,467 --> 00:13:15,500
-Oh, my God, three times.
-[Alison] And what did they
tell you.
321
00:13:15,500 --> 00:13:18,066
-[Mike] I'm in the queue.
-Well, at this point today,
322
00:13:18,066 --> 00:13:19,266
how long
have you been waiting?
323
00:13:19,266 --> 00:13:22,100
-Three months?
Three or so months?
-[Alison] What!
324
00:13:28,467 --> 00:13:29,900
[Alison] At this point today,
how long
have you been waiting?
325
00:13:29,900 --> 00:13:31,266
-Three or so months.
-[Alison] What?
326
00:13:31,266 --> 00:13:32,367
-[Jen] I can't submit...
-[Mike] The whole
correction process is--
327
00:13:32,367 --> 00:13:33,600
...It's a nightmare.
328
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:34,900
[Alison] Unless there's
any other changes,
329
00:13:34,900 --> 00:13:36,000
this goes to the architect,
330
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,367
finalize that,
331
00:13:37,367 --> 00:13:39,100
goes back to the city,
patience...
332
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:41,533
and take it from somebody
who was in
333
00:13:41,533 --> 00:13:43,100
the trenches.
334
00:13:43,100 --> 00:13:44,867
I've been there,
I've done that.
335
00:13:44,867 --> 00:13:47,100
The building department
doesn't make anything easy.
336
00:13:47,100 --> 00:13:49,266
But they're trying
to make sure that
everything's done right.
337
00:13:49,266 --> 00:13:52,100
-[Mike] I had a buddy
that's been waited 10 months.
-No.
338
00:13:52,100 --> 00:13:53,467
-[Mike] So...
-No, no, no, no.
339
00:13:53,467 --> 00:13:55,867
...where I'm at
I'm kinda happy.
340
00:13:55,867 --> 00:13:56,388
[Alison] I know
it's frustrating.
341
00:13:56,388 --> 00:13:56,900
[Alison] I know
it's frustrating.
342
00:13:56,900 --> 00:13:58,533
At least we know
what our floor plan is...
343
00:13:58,533 --> 00:14:01,166
-[Jen] Yes.
-...So no one can
stop us from designing.
344
00:14:01,166 --> 00:14:03,367
So, when you
get that permit in hand,
345
00:14:03,367 --> 00:14:05,367
I want you to be able
to start framing,
346
00:14:05,367 --> 00:14:07,800
rough-ins,
and nothing stopping us.
347
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,734
-Sounds good.
-Cool. All right, done.
348
00:14:09,734 --> 00:14:10,967
Stay strong.
349
00:14:11,533 --> 00:14:13,166
Okay, so we've got a plan.
350
00:14:13,166 --> 00:14:14,634
Hopefully they stick to it.
351
00:14:14,634 --> 00:14:16,734
Clients like to change their
minds all the time,
352
00:14:16,734 --> 00:14:18,634
and Mike and Jen,
they're not just clients,
353
00:14:18,634 --> 00:14:19,900
they're my friends
354
00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:21,800
and I don't want anything
holding up this build.
355
00:14:32,166 --> 00:14:34,900
[drilling]
356
00:14:34,900 --> 00:14:36,900
[Alison] Progress at the house
has been huge
357
00:14:36,900 --> 00:14:38,333
over the last few weeks.
358
00:14:38,900 --> 00:14:40,433
They demoed the old roof.
359
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,967
They built and
framed the second floor.
360
00:14:45,900 --> 00:14:48,166
And the new roof is going up.
361
00:14:48,166 --> 00:14:50,867
Now that our floor plan
and design are solid
362
00:14:50,867 --> 00:14:52,367
it's time to shop.
363
00:14:52,367 --> 00:14:54,467
I am out in the burbs,
364
00:14:54,467 --> 00:14:56,100
and I mean the burbs.
365
00:14:56,100 --> 00:14:56,388
We're at Warehouse 55.
366
00:14:56,388 --> 00:14:58,166
We're at Warehouse 55.
367
00:14:58,166 --> 00:14:59,634
[gasps] Kristy, look.
368
00:14:59,634 --> 00:15:02,100
Terra-cotta, terra-cotta,
terra-cotta, green.
369
00:15:02,100 --> 00:15:03,600
[Kristy] Oh,
that's super cute.
370
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:04,900
[Alison] So, I'm shopping
for Mike and Jen,
371
00:15:04,900 --> 00:15:06,367
but here's the thing.
372
00:15:06,367 --> 00:15:08,900
One of my favorite things
in life is antiquing.
373
00:15:08,900 --> 00:15:10,900
I'm constantly like,
374
00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:12,634
"Oh, this is for this house."
or "That's for this house",
375
00:15:12,634 --> 00:15:15,734
Mainly, 98% of it's for me.
376
00:15:15,734 --> 00:15:17,867
Kristy, I really think
I'm gonna get this.
377
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,166
Sold.
378
00:15:19,166 --> 00:15:20,467
Sold.
379
00:15:20,467 --> 00:15:22,800
Okay, this has to
come home with me.
380
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,600
Okay, love. Sold.
381
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,388
You're coming with me.
382
00:15:26,388 --> 00:15:26,433
You're coming with me.
383
00:15:28,734 --> 00:15:30,467
Sold, sold, sold, sold,
384
00:15:30,467 --> 00:15:31,867
sold, sold, sold, sold, sold.
385
00:15:31,867 --> 00:15:32,967
The whole store.
386
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:36,467
-Oh and
two little corbels there.
-Where?
387
00:15:36,467 --> 00:15:38,467
-[gasps] Ooh!
-The top shelf.
388
00:15:38,467 --> 00:15:40,166
So, what about these for...
389
00:15:40,166 --> 00:15:41,533
Okay, I got an idea.
390
00:15:41,533 --> 00:15:44,166
And then I see
the perfect pieces
391
00:15:44,166 --> 00:15:47,166
for Mike and Jen
and it just brings me
right back into focus.
392
00:15:47,166 --> 00:15:49,634
What if we do the coffee bar,
dry bar
393
00:15:49,634 --> 00:15:51,600
as a new build and use those?
394
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,533
[Kristy] I like that
'cause then you've got
the new function
395
00:15:53,533 --> 00:15:54,734
glides and everything.
396
00:15:54,734 --> 00:15:56,066
I love that.
397
00:15:56,700 --> 00:15:58,100
Very very cool.
398
00:15:58,100 --> 00:16:00,100
And they would love these.
399
00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:01,634
Corbels, sold.
400
00:16:01,634 --> 00:16:03,166
Look at these.
401
00:16:03,166 --> 00:16:04,700
What could we use these for?
402
00:16:04,700 --> 00:16:06,100
[Kristy] Island legs?
403
00:16:06,100 --> 00:16:07,600
[Alison] Kitchen island legs?
404
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,166
[Kristy] I love it.
I even like the color of it.
405
00:16:09,166 --> 00:16:10,367
-[Alison] This is the vibe.
-[Kristy] Yeah.
406
00:16:10,367 --> 00:16:12,433
And this
with the corbels... done.
407
00:16:14,467 --> 00:16:16,467
[gasps] Yes.
408
00:16:16,467 --> 00:16:18,900
-Beautiful.
-[Kristy] Perfect.
409
00:16:18,900 --> 00:16:21,533
[Alison] Simple and clean.
I am in love with this.
410
00:16:22,100 --> 00:16:23,433
This is it. Done.
411
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,000
I'm not even telling them.
412
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,166
I'm not bothering with it.
413
00:16:26,166 --> 00:16:26,388
We're just gonna get it.
414
00:16:26,388 --> 00:16:27,266
We're just gonna get it.
415
00:16:27,467 --> 00:16:29,100
I'm not here
416
00:16:29,100 --> 00:16:31,000
to find things
and call clients
and get approval.
417
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,266
I'm past that.
418
00:16:32,266 --> 00:16:33,867
You hired me to do my job.
419
00:16:33,867 --> 00:16:35,367
Trust the process.
420
00:16:35,367 --> 00:16:38,000
And this is the process.
Today is the process.
421
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,467
So we get island legs,
422
00:16:39,467 --> 00:16:42,266
we get corbels
and we have a fireplace.
423
00:16:42,266 --> 00:16:44,433
The Algrams house is
getting better by the minute.
424
00:16:51,266 --> 00:16:54,166
The house is
really moving along
over on Overhill.
425
00:16:54,467 --> 00:16:56,100
The roof is on,
426
00:16:56,100 --> 00:16:56,388
their GC Jim
started framing out the rooms
427
00:16:56,388 --> 00:16:58,467
their GC Jim
started framing out the rooms
428
00:16:58,467 --> 00:16:59,533
on the second floor
429
00:16:59,533 --> 00:17:01,900
and clearing out all the
old framing on the first.
430
00:17:03,100 --> 00:17:04,734
Plumbing and electric
are going in
431
00:17:04,734 --> 00:17:06,066
and it's really coming along.
432
00:17:07,166 --> 00:17:08,734
-Hi, Jim.
-Hello, hello.
433
00:17:08,734 --> 00:17:09,700
-How's it going?
-Good, good.
434
00:17:09,700 --> 00:17:10,734
-It's good.
-[Jim] Welcome.
435
00:17:10,734 --> 00:17:11,734
-It's a home.
-[Jim] Good, good, good.
It is.
436
00:17:11,734 --> 00:17:13,467
Jim and I have
just talked on the phone.
437
00:17:13,467 --> 00:17:15,000
I should actually
be together with him
438
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,900
to go over any of his concerns
is really key.
439
00:17:17,900 --> 00:17:19,533
I just wanna make sure
we're on the same page.
440
00:17:19,533 --> 00:17:21,800
Ari's gonna do
this coffee bar dry bar.
441
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,100
We are gonna build that out
442
00:17:23,100 --> 00:17:24,867
and then he'll come
and do that install
443
00:17:24,867 --> 00:17:26,388
-in the time frame
that you give us...
-[Jim] Yeah.
444
00:17:26,388 --> 00:17:26,634
-in the time frame
that you give us...
-[Jim] Yeah.
445
00:17:26,634 --> 00:17:28,533
...so I think schedule's
really important for us
446
00:17:28,533 --> 00:17:30,166
-so we can block him out.
-Yeah.
447
00:17:30,166 --> 00:17:31,700
We've got the mantle
that goes here.
448
00:17:31,700 --> 00:17:33,000
This is gonna be
an Ari project
449
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,734
-so that'll be that week
that you tell us...
-Yeah.
450
00:17:34,734 --> 00:17:36,100
-...he can come in.
-Yep.
451
00:17:36,100 --> 00:17:38,533
[Alison]
Everything looks great.
What's next for you?
452
00:17:38,533 --> 00:17:40,700
We need the windows, doors,
but Mike's getting that all.
453
00:17:40,700 --> 00:17:43,467
Jim and I are going over
just really rudimentary stuff.
454
00:17:43,467 --> 00:17:45,367
He doesn't really
have any concerns.
455
00:17:45,367 --> 00:17:47,166
All right,
I'll make a note of that.
456
00:17:47,166 --> 00:17:49,367
And if you could talk
to Jennifer too, she was, um,
457
00:17:49,367 --> 00:17:51,367
concerned about the size
for her bedroom
458
00:17:51,367 --> 00:17:52,600
not being big enough.
459
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,467
-[Alison] What?
-Yeah.
460
00:17:54,467 --> 00:17:56,266
-Let's go upstairs.
-[indistinct]
461
00:17:56,266 --> 00:17:56,388
News to me.
462
00:17:56,388 --> 00:17:57,533
News to me.
463
00:17:57,533 --> 00:17:58,734
I haven't heard this yet.
464
00:17:58,734 --> 00:18:00,800
This is exactly
what I get afraid of.
465
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,533
You know, when clients start
to mess around
466
00:18:02,533 --> 00:18:04,900
with the floor plan,
it just throws things off.
467
00:18:08,533 --> 00:18:10,533
What's her concern?
It's too tight?
468
00:18:10,533 --> 00:18:12,734
[Jim] Yes, she feels that
it's too small for her,
469
00:18:12,734 --> 00:18:14,734
that the kids' bedrooms
are bigger than hers.
470
00:18:14,734 --> 00:18:16,967
Well, the kids
don't have walk-in closets.
471
00:18:16,967 --> 00:18:19,166
-And they don't have
a huge en suite...
-No.
472
00:18:19,166 --> 00:18:20,266
-...do they?
-[Jim] They do not.
473
00:18:20,266 --> 00:18:21,533
[Alison] And you
can't have it all.
474
00:18:21,533 --> 00:18:22,600
But it's not my house,
475
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:23,967
-need to make sure
they're happy.
-Yep.
476
00:18:23,967 --> 00:18:26,367
-You have to kind of
massage people...
-Yes.
477
00:18:26,367 --> 00:18:28,266
-Yes. Yeah.
-...to understand.
478
00:18:28,266 --> 00:18:29,367
You know what'd be good?
479
00:18:29,367 --> 00:18:30,266
-[Jim] Yes?
-Do you have any tape?
480
00:18:30,266 --> 00:18:31,967
-Tape her bed out.
-Okay.
481
00:18:31,967 --> 00:18:33,867
-How about that?
I'll show her.
-[Jim] Yeah, yeah.
482
00:18:33,867 --> 00:18:35,166
[Alison] I wanna
just lay it out.
483
00:18:35,166 --> 00:18:36,867
'cause then I want her
to be able to walk in and go,
484
00:18:36,867 --> 00:18:37,336
"Okay, this is a king bed.
485
00:18:37,336 --> 00:18:38,266
"Okay, this is a king bed.
486
00:18:38,266 --> 00:18:39,734
the nightstands
fit perfectly."
487
00:18:39,734 --> 00:18:40,734
Part of my job is
488
00:18:40,734 --> 00:18:43,066
to make sure
that they love their space.
489
00:18:43,066 --> 00:18:45,600
And if there's something
that worries them, I gotta
490
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,233
put their worries to bed.
491
00:18:48,734 --> 00:18:50,367
So, she can't make it.
492
00:18:50,367 --> 00:18:51,600
Mike's on his way,
493
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,634
and having him in the space
with me and Jim
494
00:18:53,634 --> 00:18:55,867
to just go, "Hey,
here are your options."
495
00:18:55,867 --> 00:18:57,500
Here... there's one solution.
496
00:18:57,500 --> 00:18:59,533
First of all,
I don't think you change it.
497
00:18:59,533 --> 00:19:01,166
That's my first solution.
498
00:19:01,166 --> 00:19:03,066
This is so much room.
499
00:19:03,066 --> 00:19:05,367
-Here's your king,
two nightstands...
-And it's--
500
00:19:05,367 --> 00:19:06,867
...here's the only solution.
501
00:19:06,867 --> 00:19:07,336
I take away this whole closet
502
00:19:07,336 --> 00:19:08,500
I take away this whole closet
503
00:19:08,500 --> 00:19:10,367
and move it to the other side
of the room.
504
00:19:10,367 --> 00:19:11,700
You'd still have a walk-in
505
00:19:11,700 --> 00:19:13,734
but it would be
a little smaller.
506
00:19:13,734 --> 00:19:15,734
and you'd have to
walk through the closet
507
00:19:15,734 --> 00:19:17,367
to get to the en suite.
508
00:19:17,367 --> 00:19:19,533
That's the only way
to make the bedroom bigger.
509
00:19:19,533 --> 00:19:21,066
I mean, I've seen
all the pictures
510
00:19:21,066 --> 00:19:22,867
of all the bedrooms
with couches
511
00:19:22,867 --> 00:19:24,467
-and stuff like... that space.
-Why do you need it?
512
00:19:24,467 --> 00:19:25,533
If you put more furniture
513
00:19:25,533 --> 00:19:27,700
-you're gonna throw
more clothes on it.
-[Mike] Right.
514
00:19:27,700 --> 00:19:28,533
[Alison] Come on.
515
00:19:28,533 --> 00:19:30,867
-This is a dream closet.
-[Mike] Absolutely.
516
00:19:30,867 --> 00:19:32,367
I want this closet.
517
00:19:32,367 --> 00:19:34,367
I think, if she loses
any closet space
518
00:19:34,367 --> 00:19:36,533
-it's gonna bother her.
I think it's gonna bother her.
-She's gonna hate that.
519
00:19:36,867 --> 00:19:37,336
As a woman,
520
00:19:37,336 --> 00:19:38,166
As a woman,
521
00:19:38,166 --> 00:19:40,266
the last thing you wanna do
is get rid of closet space
522
00:19:40,266 --> 00:19:42,533
just to have
more bedroom space.
523
00:19:42,533 --> 00:19:44,500
You don't need to do
anything in the bedroom.
524
00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:46,100
You need to
literally sleep and...
525
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,166
You're gonna sell her on
526
00:19:49,166 --> 00:19:51,700
what she has
versus what she can have.
527
00:19:51,700 --> 00:19:53,600
I mean, I...
I could sell anything.
528
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:54,734
If you got her to marry you,
529
00:19:54,734 --> 00:19:56,433
-you'll get her
to agree on this.
-[Mike] 100%.
530
00:19:57,166 --> 00:19:58,266
Big closet.
531
00:19:58,266 --> 00:19:59,634
[Jim laughs]
532
00:19:59,634 --> 00:20:02,000
-I mean, what woman
doesn't want that.
-Right.
533
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,734
All right, then this is good.
534
00:20:03,734 --> 00:20:05,533
What do you really think?
I'm not gonna hold you to it.
535
00:20:05,533 --> 00:20:07,336
-[Jim] As far as, uh--
-When do you think
furniture's moving in?
536
00:20:07,336 --> 00:20:07,700
-[Jim] As far as, uh--
-When do you think
furniture's moving in?
537
00:20:07,700 --> 00:20:09,066
Ten, twelve weeks.
538
00:20:09,066 --> 00:20:11,000
Okay. My work here is done.
539
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,533
-Thank you so much.
-My work here is done as well.
540
00:20:13,533 --> 00:20:15,367
-[Alison] No, it's not.
-Well, no, no, no.
I got one more thing to do.
541
00:20:15,367 --> 00:20:16,333
You gotta sell her.
542
00:20:16,333 --> 00:20:17,867
-Get her up here.
-Jim and I, we're gonna wait.
543
00:20:17,867 --> 00:20:19,166
-Yes, we will.
-[Alison] Come on.
544
00:20:34,867 --> 00:20:37,336
[Mike] Last time we were here,
everything was progressing.
545
00:20:37,336 --> 00:20:39,000
[Mike] Last time we were here,
everything was progressing.
546
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,967
And then everything
came to a halt.
547
00:20:40,967 --> 00:20:43,533
There was a disagreement
with the contractor
548
00:20:43,533 --> 00:20:45,367
on what still needs to be done
549
00:20:45,367 --> 00:20:47,266
and what doesn't
need to be done.
550
00:20:47,266 --> 00:20:50,066
So, I brought in
a good friend of mine
551
00:20:50,066 --> 00:20:53,700
just to do a walk-through,
what needs to be corrected,
be finished.
552
00:20:53,700 --> 00:20:54,967
We're at
a standstill right now.
553
00:20:54,967 --> 00:20:57,000
There hasn't been
work done in a little bit...
554
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,100
-[Dave] Right.
-...and there was
a discrepancy about
555
00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:01,734
framing out
that southside wall there.
556
00:21:01,734 --> 00:21:02,867
Should be framed out.
557
00:21:02,867 --> 00:21:04,600
-You know,
like the rest of these.
-[Mike] Okay.
558
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,967
You can't get
your electrical in here,
we can't insulate it.
559
00:21:06,967 --> 00:21:07,336
We don't have room
for our boxes
560
00:21:07,336 --> 00:21:08,266
We don't have room
for our boxes
561
00:21:08,266 --> 00:21:10,266
-for our pipe
to get electrical in here.
-[Mike] Right.
562
00:21:10,266 --> 00:21:12,500
I've known Dave
five, six years now.
563
00:21:12,500 --> 00:21:14,166
We're at the
same firehouse together.
564
00:21:14,166 --> 00:21:16,500
He's a GC
so he knows this stuff
565
00:21:16,500 --> 00:21:17,867
a lot better than I do.
566
00:21:17,867 --> 00:21:18,867
This header is too high.
567
00:21:18,867 --> 00:21:20,266
You're over 7 feet here.
568
00:21:20,266 --> 00:21:22,500
-Your header height
should be at 83 inches.
-[Mike] Okay.
569
00:21:22,500 --> 00:21:24,266
[Dave] These are
temporary steps right now
570
00:21:24,266 --> 00:21:26,367
but just looking at them
and the way they are
571
00:21:26,367 --> 00:21:28,166
there's not enough
headroom there.
572
00:21:28,166 --> 00:21:30,066
Guess my stache
was brown a month ago.
573
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,800
[Dave] Yeah, when I gotta duck
we got a problem.
574
00:21:34,533 --> 00:21:37,100
Oh, let's see,
what do we got here?
575
00:21:37,500 --> 00:21:38,734
Primary bath.
576
00:21:38,734 --> 00:21:40,266
Plumbing's gonna
have to be moved.
577
00:21:40,266 --> 00:21:41,700
The shower valves are almost
578
00:21:41,700 --> 00:21:43,166
in the middle
of the shower door.
579
00:21:43,166 --> 00:21:45,700
-They're not gonna work there,
that's for sure.
-Okay.
580
00:21:45,700 --> 00:21:48,266
-[Dave] I feel for you, buddy.
I really do.
-[Mike] Thanks, pal.
581
00:21:48,266 --> 00:21:50,867
Tonight if [indistinct],
I'm pissed off.
582
00:21:50,867 --> 00:21:54,066
We could be doing finishes
probably right now,
583
00:21:54,066 --> 00:21:56,166
if people were on the ball so,
584
00:21:56,166 --> 00:21:57,967
um, frustrated
585
00:21:57,967 --> 00:22:00,066
is the understatement
of the year.
586
00:22:00,066 --> 00:22:01,533
I'm... I'm flat-out
pissed off.
587
00:22:08,967 --> 00:22:11,100
[Alison] These are so pretty.
588
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,533
Who could use these doors?
589
00:22:14,967 --> 00:22:17,433
-[phone vibrating]
-[Alison] Hold on.
Mike's calling me.
590
00:22:18,734 --> 00:22:20,000
-Hey.
-[Mike] Hey.
591
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,734
-What's going on?
-What's going on, bud?
592
00:22:22,266 --> 00:22:24,000
[Mike] Well, um...
593
00:22:24,734 --> 00:22:26,066
I don't know.
I'm making the call
594
00:22:26,066 --> 00:22:28,634
that I kinda dreaded
having to make to you.
595
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,000
-But...
-What?
596
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,700
...Yeah, it's not
anything malicious,
597
00:22:34,700 --> 00:22:37,336
but I think
we're gonna have to
598
00:22:37,336 --> 00:22:37,867
but I think
we're gonna have to
599
00:22:37,867 --> 00:22:40,433
move on from
the current contractor.
600
00:22:45,467 --> 00:22:47,867
I'm making the call
that I kinda dreaded
having to make to you.
601
00:22:47,867 --> 00:22:49,634
I think we are
602
00:22:49,634 --> 00:22:51,166
gonna have to
603
00:22:51,166 --> 00:22:54,066
move on from
the current contractor.
604
00:22:56,266 --> 00:22:59,066
Okay, well, first,
I'm relieved. I thought
you were firing me.
605
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,367
[Mike] No, no.
I wouldn't do that.
606
00:23:01,367 --> 00:23:03,266
Second, what are you
talking about?
607
00:23:03,266 --> 00:23:04,634
You're so far in.
608
00:23:04,634 --> 00:23:06,867
[Mike] I know, but he's behind
609
00:23:06,867 --> 00:23:09,266
and the communication's awful
610
00:23:09,266 --> 00:23:11,166
There are definitely
some issues
611
00:23:11,166 --> 00:23:13,100
with what's going on
with the build.
612
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:13,445
Even the subs he brought in
were no good.
613
00:23:13,445 --> 00:23:15,600
Even the subs he brought in
were no good.
614
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,900
It's just been one thing
after the other.
615
00:23:17,900 --> 00:23:20,266
Ever since I've got
new eyes on it,
616
00:23:20,266 --> 00:23:22,734
I had my friend
who's a general contractor,
617
00:23:22,734 --> 00:23:25,367
who folded me in the beginning
618
00:23:25,367 --> 00:23:27,000
-but--
-And he's also your friend.
619
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,000
-So be careful about that.
-[Mike] Exactly, exactly.
620
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,634
-Exactly. Uh, he's also--
-Okay. Is that
who you're going with?
621
00:23:31,634 --> 00:23:33,867
[Mike] I have to. He is.
622
00:23:33,867 --> 00:23:36,000
Ever since I hit balance
on the ball
623
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,367
it's been rolling really well
right away.
624
00:23:38,367 --> 00:23:39,867
Okay, listen,
625
00:23:39,867 --> 00:23:43,367
you're not in a place where
you can actually just start
setting up interviews.
626
00:23:43,367 --> 00:23:43,445
You gotta do it.
You gotta do
what you gotta do.
627
00:23:43,445 --> 00:23:45,000
You gotta do it.
You gotta do
what you gotta do.
628
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,900
What is this dude's
overall schedule?
629
00:23:46,900 --> 00:23:48,266
[Mike] I don't know.
I don't know.
630
00:23:48,266 --> 00:23:50,367
-But it is being delayed.
But...
-[Alison] Yeah.
631
00:23:50,367 --> 00:23:52,367
...I personally think
it'll get finished
632
00:23:52,367 --> 00:23:54,166
quicker than it would've
with the last guy.
633
00:23:54,166 --> 00:23:56,734
This is your house,
this is your money,
634
00:23:56,734 --> 00:23:58,467
um, this is your decision.
635
00:23:58,467 --> 00:23:59,900
This is not something
636
00:24:00,467 --> 00:24:02,367
to... to mess around with.
637
00:24:02,367 --> 00:24:04,367
-So...
-[Mike] Yeah, it would've
never gotten done
638
00:24:04,367 --> 00:24:05,734
if I had stayed on this path.
639
00:24:05,734 --> 00:24:07,000
-[Alison] All right, man.
-[Mike] Okay.
640
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,367
-Okay.
-[Mike] All right.
641
00:24:08,367 --> 00:24:10,233
-I'll talk to ya. Okay, bye.
-[Mike] Talk to ya.
642
00:24:11,734 --> 00:24:13,266
[Alison] You gotta do
what you gotta do.
643
00:24:13,266 --> 00:24:13,445
And I'm sure
Jennifer's freaking out.
644
00:24:13,445 --> 00:24:15,266
And I'm sure
Jennifer's freaking out.
645
00:24:15,266 --> 00:24:17,467
But, all we care about
646
00:24:17,467 --> 00:24:19,333
is getting them
into their house.
647
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,734
So Mike decided
to move forward with Dave
648
00:24:28,734 --> 00:24:30,467
as his new GC and
649
00:24:30,467 --> 00:24:32,700
finally the overhaul project's
moving again.
650
00:24:32,700 --> 00:24:34,533
They've reframed the walls,
651
00:24:35,100 --> 00:24:37,166
fixed the stairs.
652
00:24:37,166 --> 00:24:40,233
They moved
the electrical and plumbing
to all the correct spots.
653
00:24:41,900 --> 00:24:43,445
And now
they're starting drywall.
654
00:24:43,445 --> 00:24:43,533
And now
they're starting drywall.
655
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,000
Going to Overhill today.
656
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,100
So, I'm gonna
meet his new GC Dave.
657
00:24:49,100 --> 00:24:50,800
I've heard good things
about him.
658
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,100
I just wanna make sure
that we really are on track.
659
00:24:53,100 --> 00:24:54,600
You know, it's one thing
to talk to Mike
660
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,800
but it's one thing
to hear it straight from
the horse's mouth.
661
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,900
So, I wanna go
talk to the horse.
662
00:24:59,100 --> 00:25:01,166
Hello!
663
00:25:01,166 --> 00:25:02,867
Nice to finally meet you.
664
00:25:02,867 --> 00:25:04,100
-Dave.
-Dave?
665
00:25:04,100 --> 00:25:05,467
-Heard so much about you.
-How are you?
666
00:25:05,467 --> 00:25:07,266
-Hopefully it was good.
-Dave saves the day.
667
00:25:07,266 --> 00:25:09,367
-Yeah, sometimes.
-That's what Mike thinks.
668
00:25:09,367 --> 00:25:11,266
Is everything kind of fixed
at this point?
669
00:25:11,266 --> 00:25:12,867
-I think so.
I think we're in good shape.
-Yeah?
670
00:25:12,867 --> 00:25:13,445
-Okay.
-[Dave] Drywall's going up
671
00:25:13,445 --> 00:25:14,100
-Okay.
-[Dave] Drywall's going up
672
00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:15,467
-so I think
we're in good shape.
-Yeah, it feels
673
00:25:15,467 --> 00:25:16,467
really good in here.
674
00:25:16,467 --> 00:25:19,000
You've moved a lot.
This looks really good.
675
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,166
Hopefully,
by the mid next week
we should be done taping
676
00:25:22,166 --> 00:25:24,266
-and then I wanna
start doing flooring and--
-[Alison] Yes!
677
00:25:24,266 --> 00:25:25,634
Getting there and
that's what I'm shooting for.
678
00:25:25,634 --> 00:25:27,867
When you just said flooring
you made me very happy.
679
00:25:27,867 --> 00:25:29,734
-[Dave] Yeah, well--
-[Alison] Very happy.
680
00:25:29,734 --> 00:25:31,266
You're running
all the planks this way?
681
00:25:31,266 --> 00:25:33,100
-Yes, we're running
all the planks this way.
-Yep.
682
00:25:33,100 --> 00:25:34,800
-I love it.
-[Dave] We should be
in good shape.
683
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:35,800
Mike's a friend of mine.
684
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,734
We worked for
quite a few years together.
685
00:25:37,734 --> 00:25:39,266
He called me up
with a bunch of issues
686
00:25:39,266 --> 00:25:41,634
and him and Jennifer were
going through a lot, so, uh,
687
00:25:41,634 --> 00:25:43,445
I don't know,
I don't like seeing anybody
688
00:25:43,445 --> 00:25:43,467
I don't know,
I don't like seeing anybody
689
00:25:43,467 --> 00:25:44,533
go through that kind of stuff
690
00:25:44,533 --> 00:25:46,100
so I figured
I could help him out
691
00:25:46,100 --> 00:25:48,634
and we can get it done.
Get it done
the way they want it.
692
00:25:48,634 --> 00:25:51,100
The only thing is,
there was nothing spec'd out
in the renderings.
693
00:25:51,100 --> 00:25:53,634
Are there any outlets
or anything going in
694
00:25:53,634 --> 00:25:55,367
-in the banquets?
-That's where
you're gonna sit...
695
00:25:55,367 --> 00:25:57,266
-[Dave] Yes.
-...It's gonna be nice to
work on your laptop
696
00:25:57,266 --> 00:25:58,800
-or whatever,
charge your phone?
-[Dave] Right, 'cause there...
697
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,900
-As of right now there's no
outlets on that wall...
-Yeah.
698
00:26:00,900 --> 00:26:02,367
...because of that. So...
699
00:26:02,367 --> 00:26:05,000
Wait a minute.
But, per code, you have
to have outlets on that wall.
700
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,700
Right. But the banquet's gonna
cover the whole thing,
the whole wall.
701
00:26:07,700 --> 00:26:09,367
So, wouldn't you
wanna just put them,
702
00:26:09,367 --> 00:26:11,734
like, maybe up on, like,
a deck mount?
703
00:26:11,734 --> 00:26:13,367
Yeah, that's when you
can kinda see
704
00:26:13,367 --> 00:26:13,445
-where the banquet's
gonna come in...
-I would do that. So get
705
00:26:13,445 --> 00:26:14,700
-where the banquet's
gonna come in...
-I would do that. So get
706
00:26:14,700 --> 00:26:15,867
that and then pull through.
707
00:26:15,867 --> 00:26:17,100
We can work with Ari
when he's here
708
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:19,634
-and we can drop him in
as he's building it.
-Let's do that.
709
00:26:19,634 --> 00:26:21,266
-All right.
-I think, as of right now
710
00:26:21,266 --> 00:26:22,333
-we're in good shape.
-Cool.
711
00:26:22,333 --> 00:26:24,000
-Good meeting you.
-Perfect. It was nice
meeting you.
712
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,700
[Alison] This is
a huge tipping point.
713
00:26:25,700 --> 00:26:28,166
He says, "We're getting ready
to install flooring."
714
00:26:28,166 --> 00:26:29,700
That's music to my ears.
715
00:26:29,700 --> 00:26:33,166
I mean, flooring means
you're getting really close.
716
00:26:35,867 --> 00:26:38,467
So, while Dave moves forward
with the project in Chicago,
717
00:26:38,467 --> 00:26:39,734
up in Wisconsin
718
00:26:40,634 --> 00:26:42,800
Ari and Nelson
are gonna turn my finds
719
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:43,445
into custom pieces.
720
00:26:43,445 --> 00:26:44,533
into custom pieces.
721
00:26:45,467 --> 00:26:47,100
[Ari] So,
this is the island.
722
00:26:47,100 --> 00:26:48,900
-Okay.
-Thank God
we're do it on site.
723
00:26:48,900 --> 00:26:50,734
Hood, we gotta do today
and tomorrow.
724
00:26:50,734 --> 00:26:52,900
Fireplace is done.
Corbels are done.
725
00:26:52,900 --> 00:26:54,100
And then that cabinet there...
726
00:26:54,100 --> 00:26:55,734
-[Nelson] Okay.
-...We'll finish that today.
727
00:26:55,734 --> 00:26:57,600
And we got
lots to do today so...
728
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,634
-[Nelson] Yeah, we do.
-...we gotta crank
this stuff up.
729
00:27:00,467 --> 00:27:02,734
[Alison] Ari shares
the same vision with me
730
00:27:02,734 --> 00:27:05,266
by using the antique pieces
that I find
731
00:27:05,266 --> 00:27:07,634
to give a new build
a really historic look.
732
00:27:09,166 --> 00:27:11,433
And that is exactly
what Overhill needs.
733
00:27:20,367 --> 00:27:21,634
Perfect.
734
00:27:26,634 --> 00:27:28,634
[upbeat music playing]
735
00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:33,467
[Alison] All the delays
have put us at least
736
00:27:33,467 --> 00:27:34,734
a couple months
behind schedule.
737
00:27:34,734 --> 00:27:38,100
But Mike and Jen's house
is really coming together.
738
00:27:38,100 --> 00:27:39,900
The cabinets
are being assembled.
739
00:27:39,900 --> 00:27:43,445
And the platinum grey color
is the perfect middle ground
between farmhouse and modern.
740
00:27:43,445 --> 00:27:44,467
And the platinum grey color
is the perfect middle ground
between farmhouse and modern.
741
00:27:44,467 --> 00:27:46,333
So, they should
both be really happy.
742
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,066
Outside the siding
is going up.
743
00:27:49,700 --> 00:27:51,533
[machine tacking]
744
00:27:52,367 --> 00:27:53,867
I am meeting Mike today.
745
00:27:53,867 --> 00:27:55,367
I-- He and I have been
having calls,
746
00:27:55,367 --> 00:27:57,000
and I can hear the stress,
747
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,367
and I can hear the worry,
and I can hear the concern.
748
00:27:59,367 --> 00:28:03,166
So we're just gonna
have a drink at Club Lucky,
and I wanna hear him out.
749
00:28:05,634 --> 00:28:07,467
-There he is.
-[Mike] Hey, pal.
750
00:28:07,467 --> 00:28:09,900
-Good to see you.
-[Alison] My hair stinks,
I'm sorry.
751
00:28:09,900 --> 00:28:11,867
-[Mike] Okay, so does mine.
-[Alison] Oh, God. [laughs]
752
00:28:11,867 --> 00:28:13,100
You look skinny.
753
00:28:13,100 --> 00:28:13,445
-Me?
-What's going on with you?
754
00:28:13,445 --> 00:28:14,166
-Me?
-What's going on with you?
755
00:28:14,166 --> 00:28:15,533
-I don't eat so...
-Oh, you don't eat.
756
00:28:15,533 --> 00:28:18,800
-Stress. It's the best diet
you can. Yes.
-[gasps] Oh, stress.
757
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,166
The pounds just come
flying off.
758
00:28:20,166 --> 00:28:21,166
Good, then I'm doing it wrong.
759
00:28:21,166 --> 00:28:23,734
Mike and Jen are not--
They're not my clients.
760
00:28:23,734 --> 00:28:25,734
They are my friends.
That is it.
761
00:28:25,734 --> 00:28:28,734
So, if I can sit with him,
and offer him any advice,
762
00:28:28,734 --> 00:28:31,367
just to make him understand
that he is not alone.
763
00:28:31,367 --> 00:28:33,600
And however I can help,
I want to.
764
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,900
There's no one
that understands that stress
more than me.
765
00:28:35,900 --> 00:28:38,634
-This stress sucks.
Project like this.
-[Mike] You know, it's...
766
00:28:38,634 --> 00:28:41,800
-I brought Dave on,
he's an absolute professional.
-[Alison] Yeah. Good.
767
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,445
I've been through that.
Getting rid of one contractor,
bringing in another.
768
00:28:43,445 --> 00:28:45,100
I've been through that.
Getting rid of one contractor,
bringing in another.
769
00:28:45,100 --> 00:28:47,066
The corrections and fixes.
770
00:28:48,533 --> 00:28:50,100
That's where things
are getting expensive.
771
00:28:50,100 --> 00:28:51,600
Because everything needs
to get fixed.
772
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,734
-Has that put it over?
-[Mike] I don't know yet.
773
00:28:53,734 --> 00:28:56,000
I don't know
if we're gonna stay in budget.
774
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,467
I'm praying to God we do.
775
00:28:57,467 --> 00:29:00,367
But I've been with the subs
the last guy brought on.
776
00:29:00,367 --> 00:29:02,000
They didn't complete the job.
777
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,533
What did they get paid
up to this point?
778
00:29:04,533 --> 00:29:07,100
Well, and then you risk
these people putting a lean
on your property.
779
00:29:07,100 --> 00:29:08,367
[Mike] 100%.
780
00:29:08,367 --> 00:29:12,734
But staying in budget
is going to be probably,
the top part.
781
00:29:12,734 --> 00:29:13,445
Because I'm broke.
782
00:29:13,445 --> 00:29:14,867
Because I'm broke.
783
00:29:16,900 --> 00:29:17,900
No toys for the kids,
784
00:29:17,900 --> 00:29:20,266
-we've budgeted
grocery shopping.
-No.
785
00:29:20,266 --> 00:29:21,634
-[Mike] We're rationing.
-No!
786
00:29:30,166 --> 00:29:31,367
No toys for the kids,
787
00:29:31,367 --> 00:29:33,634
-we've budgeted
grocery shopping.
-No.
788
00:29:33,634 --> 00:29:35,000
-[Mike] We're rationing.
-No!
789
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,967
I had to call Mom
for a cheque. Bailed me out.
790
00:29:38,100 --> 00:29:39,100
No.
791
00:29:39,100 --> 00:29:40,533
-People need to get paid.
-[Alison] Yeah, I get it.
792
00:29:40,533 --> 00:29:42,367
Trust me, I'm building
my house right now.
793
00:29:42,367 --> 00:29:44,100
But I am selling
an investment property,
794
00:29:44,100 --> 00:29:46,166
-so, that'll free up
some capital.
-[Alison] Okay.
795
00:29:46,166 --> 00:29:47,166
How's Jen doing?
796
00:29:47,166 --> 00:29:48,367
-[Mike] She's okay.
-Okay?
797
00:29:48,367 --> 00:29:50,700
-Because I don't
tell her anything.
-[Alison] Oh, good.
798
00:29:50,700 --> 00:29:53,100
-I just say everything is...
-[Alison] You're a smart,
smart husband.
799
00:29:53,100 --> 00:29:54,900
-Locked up.
-Onward and upward.
800
00:29:54,900 --> 00:29:59,184
Well, you know what then,
you're holding, and,
and harboring all the stress.
801
00:29:59,184 --> 00:29:59,900
Well, you know what then,
you're holding, and,
and harboring all the stress.
802
00:29:59,900 --> 00:30:01,100
I have all the bad news.
803
00:30:01,100 --> 00:30:03,100
And I know the feeling,
I think that's the thing.
804
00:30:03,100 --> 00:30:05,367
I know you.
And I love you and Jen.
805
00:30:05,367 --> 00:30:08,266
And then, I think about
what I went through.
806
00:30:08,266 --> 00:30:10,100
-Been there.
I don't like that feeling.
-I mean...
807
00:30:10,100 --> 00:30:12,533
[Alison] And I don't want you
to have that feeling.
808
00:30:12,533 --> 00:30:15,700
I'm gonna help you,
not just make it up
809
00:30:15,700 --> 00:30:18,000
but somehow
offset those charges,
810
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,166
where I can save you
in some areas,
so that doesn't overwhelm.
811
00:30:21,166 --> 00:30:23,433
Whatever I can get, you get.
812
00:30:24,367 --> 00:30:25,467
That's how it's gonna go.
813
00:30:25,467 --> 00:30:27,533
-That would be huge for me.
-[Alison] Yeah.
814
00:30:27,533 --> 00:30:29,184
That would
help me out immensely. Us.
815
00:30:29,184 --> 00:30:30,266
That would
help me out immensely. Us.
816
00:30:30,266 --> 00:30:32,000
'Cause I don't want you
to feel the way I ever felt.
817
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,433
But this is the last time
I'm ever doing this.
818
00:30:34,634 --> 00:30:36,700
[laughs]
819
00:30:36,700 --> 00:30:38,800
[upbeat music playing]
820
00:30:48,533 --> 00:30:50,634
[Alison]
Today is such a busy day
at Overhill.
821
00:30:51,867 --> 00:30:53,700
The floors are going down.
822
00:30:53,700 --> 00:30:56,000
And they work so well
with that rustic feel
823
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,634
that I've got
throughout the house.
824
00:30:59,000 --> 00:30:59,184
Ari and Nelson are here
with a trailer full of pieces
825
00:30:59,184 --> 00:31:01,367
Ari and Nelson are here
with a trailer full of pieces
826
00:31:01,367 --> 00:31:04,000
that are gonna take this house
to a whole new level.
827
00:31:10,700 --> 00:31:12,367
We have a ton of things
that we're doing today.
828
00:31:12,367 --> 00:31:15,367
We're doing a fireplace mantel
installation with a back panel
on it.
829
00:31:15,367 --> 00:31:16,533
[drill buzzing]
830
00:31:16,533 --> 00:31:17,533
A wet bar.
831
00:31:17,533 --> 00:31:19,467
[Nelson] Should be
an eight inch ledge.
832
00:31:19,467 --> 00:31:21,066
And we're doing a banquet.
833
00:31:21,734 --> 00:31:23,166
Very comfortable.
834
00:31:23,700 --> 00:31:24,634
And island surround
835
00:31:24,634 --> 00:31:26,100
out of old antique wood.
836
00:31:26,100 --> 00:31:27,100
And...
837
00:31:27,100 --> 00:31:29,166
The hood. [laughs]
838
00:31:29,166 --> 00:31:29,184
Forgot about it.
I just got done spraying it
I should remember that.
839
00:31:29,184 --> 00:31:31,433
Forgot about it.
I just got done spraying it
I should remember that.
840
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,533
And corbels.
841
00:31:33,533 --> 00:31:34,700
But they're not gonna
do those today,
842
00:31:34,700 --> 00:31:36,467
because I don't think
they're ready for me still.
843
00:31:36,467 --> 00:31:37,533
[Alison] Hello.
844
00:31:37,533 --> 00:31:39,367
Hey, how are you?
We're over here at the job
845
00:31:39,367 --> 00:31:40,734
-cranking stuff out.
-[Alison] All right.
846
00:31:40,734 --> 00:31:42,233
-What news
have you guys got?
-All right.
847
00:31:42,867 --> 00:31:44,100
Let's start with the hood.
848
00:31:44,100 --> 00:31:46,166
-There you go.
-Wow.
849
00:31:46,166 --> 00:31:47,800
Hey, the only thing
I would say,
850
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,734
it's still just
a little heavy, mud, muddy
in the middle.
851
00:31:50,734 --> 00:31:53,734
Okay. We could probably,
you know, resand it,
852
00:31:53,734 --> 00:31:54,967
and add a little green
back to it,
853
00:31:54,967 --> 00:31:57,166
and get some more
copper-looking
coming through.
854
00:31:57,166 --> 00:31:59,184
[Alison] Okay, I think,
once you get that
to really look
855
00:31:59,184 --> 00:31:59,800
[Alison] Okay, I think,
once you get that
to really look
856
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,734
a little more coppery,
857
00:32:01,734 --> 00:32:03,166
-then I'm gonna love it.
-[Ari] Okay, cool.
858
00:32:03,166 --> 00:32:04,467
Uh, you wanna
see the fireplace?
859
00:32:04,467 --> 00:32:05,533
-Yes.
-[Ari] All right.
860
00:32:06,100 --> 00:32:07,533
-[Alison] Oh, yes.
-[Ari] Yeah.
861
00:32:07,533 --> 00:32:09,533
-That's--
-Wow, that's a pretty piece
of woodwork right there.
862
00:32:09,533 --> 00:32:11,967
[Ari] Yeah, it's weathered
grey stain we just put on.
863
00:32:11,967 --> 00:32:14,367
-It came out really,
really pretty.
-Really pretty.
864
00:32:14,367 --> 00:32:15,700
[Ari] You wanna check out
the coffee bar?
865
00:32:15,700 --> 00:32:17,000
-[Alison] Yes.
-[Ari] That came out
really well.
866
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,000
-[Alison] Now
this is gonna match?
-[Ari] The fireplace.
867
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,734
Okay, good, good.
I really wanted it
to be the same.
868
00:32:22,734 --> 00:32:24,467
[Ari] And then,
the island's not put together,
869
00:32:24,467 --> 00:32:25,867
I'll show you
where the panels are.
870
00:32:25,867 --> 00:32:29,100
[Alison] Just looking at it
with the floor,
it looks so good.
871
00:32:29,100 --> 00:32:29,184
[Ari] Yeah, floor looks
really nice.
872
00:32:29,184 --> 00:32:30,900
[Ari] Yeah, floor looks
really nice.
873
00:32:30,900 --> 00:32:33,100
I'll show you the banquet.
We're working on there
right now,
874
00:32:33,100 --> 00:32:34,533
so it's a work in progress.
875
00:32:34,533 --> 00:32:35,533
Let me stand over here.
876
00:32:35,533 --> 00:32:38,166
There is the upper cabinets
in the back part,
877
00:32:38,166 --> 00:32:41,000
and then,
we're putting in bookcases
doing the same finish.
878
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,867
-Yes. They don't need
to tie in together.
-[Ari] Yeah.
879
00:32:42,867 --> 00:32:44,734
I'll send you in pictures
later on tonight, okay?
880
00:32:44,734 --> 00:32:46,000
[Alison] Okay, I loved it.
881
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,266
-Good job, Nelson.
-Thanks.
882
00:32:48,266 --> 00:32:51,166
-[Ari laughs]
-It looks awesome you guys.
883
00:32:51,166 --> 00:32:53,266
[upbeat music playing]
884
00:32:57,734 --> 00:32:59,184
[Alison] We are days away
from finishing Overhill.
885
00:32:59,184 --> 00:33:00,700
[Alison] We are days away
from finishing Overhill.
886
00:33:00,700 --> 00:33:04,367
Ari's pieces are done,
and the countertops
are going in.
887
00:33:04,367 --> 00:33:07,734
All of these finishing touches
are looking so good.
888
00:33:07,734 --> 00:33:10,967
This has been
such a long and tough journey
for them,
889
00:33:10,967 --> 00:33:13,533
and I wanna give them
a little extra something.
890
00:33:13,533 --> 00:33:15,233
And Ari's gonna help me
make that happen.
891
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,066
-Hi.
-[Ari] Hey, Alison.
How are you?
892
00:33:19,900 --> 00:33:21,467
-You look nice.
-[Alison] You too.
893
00:33:21,467 --> 00:33:24,266
The family room needs
a little something, you know.
What can I give them
894
00:33:24,266 --> 00:33:25,700
that looks beautiful?
895
00:33:25,700 --> 00:33:28,700
-Fireplace looks sick.
When you Facetimed me...
-Yeah, it came out nice.
896
00:33:28,700 --> 00:33:29,184
-...I loved it but I was like,
"God, there's gotta be more."
-[Ari] Yes, blank space.
897
00:33:29,184 --> 00:33:31,467
-...I loved it but I was like,
"God, there's gotta be more."
-[Ari] Yes, blank space.
898
00:33:31,467 --> 00:33:33,533
I'd like to do
some artwork or something.
899
00:33:33,533 --> 00:33:34,533
Like a dip tick.
900
00:33:34,533 --> 00:33:36,166
Little golden there, you know.
901
00:33:36,166 --> 00:33:37,900
If this looks cool,
and these two paintings
902
00:33:37,900 --> 00:33:38,867
-kind of go together.
-I like it.
903
00:33:38,867 --> 00:33:41,533
-What's the timeline on this?
-Tomorrow.
904
00:33:41,533 --> 00:33:43,634
If you help me,
I can get it done faster.
905
00:33:43,634 --> 00:33:45,533
Well, yeah,
I didn't just come out here
to talk.
906
00:33:45,533 --> 00:33:47,166
-Oh, all right. Good.
-[laughs]
907
00:33:47,166 --> 00:33:49,100
With my help
maybe I can get him to do it
908
00:33:49,100 --> 00:33:51,000
for like, free?
909
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,734
You know,
I put in some sweat equity.
910
00:33:52,734 --> 00:33:54,967
Sweat? No? Not equity?
911
00:33:55,734 --> 00:33:56,634
But equity for me?
912
00:33:59,100 --> 00:33:59,184
So what do we do?
We just smash it on there?
913
00:33:59,184 --> 00:34:00,734
So what do we do?
We just smash it on there?
914
00:34:00,734 --> 00:34:04,533
-Yes, so I,
I use trowels. Trowels.
-Okay.
915
00:34:04,533 --> 00:34:06,166
[Ari] Just a nice
thin layer on that.
916
00:34:06,166 --> 00:34:07,634
-Then I-- Yeah.
-You texture it.
917
00:34:08,533 --> 00:34:10,266
The method
is different for me.
918
00:34:10,266 --> 00:34:11,734
I usually just,
919
00:34:11,734 --> 00:34:15,700
I draw sharks and bears.
That's it.
920
00:34:15,700 --> 00:34:18,100
I don't do abstracts,
you know.
921
00:34:18,100 --> 00:34:20,266
You're going heavy texture
on yours.
922
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,900
-Oh!
-I didn't get it on you.
923
00:34:23,734 --> 00:34:24,734
Did I? No.
924
00:34:24,734 --> 00:34:27,100
-What do you mean, no?
You just...
-[Ari] No.
925
00:34:27,100 --> 00:34:29,184
You grabbed a trowel of paint,
you put it up,
and over my head,
926
00:34:29,184 --> 00:34:30,533
You grabbed a trowel of paint,
you put it up,
and over my head,
927
00:34:30,533 --> 00:34:32,367
and you think,
it's not gonna go.
928
00:34:32,367 --> 00:34:34,000
Maybe, possibly, risk it.
929
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,000
What we're gonna do
is we're gonna do
couple of movements this way,
930
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,533
and then,
something crossing over there.
931
00:34:37,533 --> 00:34:39,800
-[Alison] I'm gonna
screw this up.
-[Ari] No, you're not.
932
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,967
There is no set way
we're doing this.
933
00:34:41,967 --> 00:34:42,900
-[Nelson] Yeah
-Okay.
934
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,166
Like that.
935
00:34:47,166 --> 00:34:49,734
That and, now we cut
sideways through.
936
00:34:50,634 --> 00:34:52,000
There you go.
937
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,166
Start heavy and go thin.
938
00:34:54,367 --> 00:34:57,100
That's it. Stop.
Okay, load her up.
939
00:34:57,100 --> 00:34:59,184
-Put it down.
All right. Perfect.
-Perfect.
940
00:34:59,184 --> 00:35:00,634
-Put it down.
All right. Perfect.
-Perfect.
941
00:35:00,634 --> 00:35:02,734
Go from here.
Throw it that way.
942
00:35:02,734 --> 00:35:05,000
-Throw it, just like throw it?
-Throw it. Throw it.
943
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,734
-Throw the whole trowel?
-Throw it. Yeah.
944
00:35:06,734 --> 00:35:09,333
-No hold the trowel,
-No, hold the trowel,
and throw the paint.
945
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:10,900
[chuckles]
946
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,000
-There you go.
-Like that?
947
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,433
Yep, and then throw
a little more up there?
948
00:35:15,967 --> 00:35:17,467
-There it is.
-[Ari] That's it!
All right, you're done.
949
00:35:17,467 --> 00:35:19,367
-Now walk away. Walk away.
-[Alison] That's it?
Walk away?
950
00:35:19,367 --> 00:35:21,166
-This is the hardest part,
right?
-Yep.
951
00:35:21,166 --> 00:35:22,900
I'll go, someone else
is like, "Walk away?"
and like, "No!"
952
00:35:22,900 --> 00:35:25,166
-Walk away?
-And then, it turns into mush
if you don't...
953
00:35:25,166 --> 00:35:26,867
-Yes, so walk away.
-Okay, so we walk away.
This is done.
954
00:35:26,867 --> 00:35:29,100
-[Nelson] That's it.
-[Alison] Okay,
I'm walking away.
955
00:35:29,100 --> 00:35:29,184
-[Ari] Yeah. Hands up.
Well done, Nelson.
-[Nelson] Walk away.
956
00:35:29,184 --> 00:35:31,367
-[Ari] Yeah. Hands up.
Well done, Nelson.
-[Nelson] Walk away.
957
00:35:31,367 --> 00:35:33,433
[laughs]
958
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,166
[Ari] Yeah,
do one thing, Alison,
you gotta sign your name here.
959
00:35:37,166 --> 00:35:39,100
-[Alison] We did it.
-[Nelson] And then, we'll do
a little thin black frame.
960
00:35:39,100 --> 00:35:41,734
-[Alison] Yeah, yeah.
Awesome. Okay.
-[Ari] Let it dry.
961
00:35:41,734 --> 00:35:42,867
[Nelson laughs]
962
00:35:42,867 --> 00:35:44,066
[Alison] My work here is done.
963
00:35:46,533 --> 00:35:48,100
[exhales deeply]
964
00:35:48,100 --> 00:35:49,867
[Mike] Look at that.
965
00:35:50,467 --> 00:35:52,367
That is porn for Jennifer.
966
00:35:52,367 --> 00:35:52,700
-Come to mama.
-[laughs]
967
00:35:58,867 --> 00:35:59,967
Big day.
968
00:36:02,367 --> 00:36:04,166
Mike and Jen, 10 years ago,
969
00:36:04,166 --> 00:36:07,367
I was doing
just their kitchen.
They were newlyweds.
970
00:36:07,367 --> 00:36:08,900
Now we're all adults.
971
00:36:08,900 --> 00:36:10,634
And they have a whole house,
972
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,000
and it's,
973
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,000
a beautiful house.
974
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,100
All these delays
did put us over our budget.
975
00:36:16,100 --> 00:36:19,600
But we came in
just under the $375,000
976
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,166
from the construction loan
they got approved for.
977
00:36:22,166 --> 00:36:25,100
And I'm sure that's gonna make
Mike and Jen so happy.
978
00:36:25,100 --> 00:36:25,278
Especially now that
the process is finally over.
979
00:36:25,278 --> 00:36:27,900
Especially now that
the process is finally over.
980
00:36:27,900 --> 00:36:30,467
Look at-- I mean,
it's kind of showing off now.
981
00:36:30,467 --> 00:36:32,533
[upbeat music playing]
982
00:36:40,467 --> 00:36:41,634
[Alison] It looks so good.
983
00:36:41,634 --> 00:36:42,867
-[Mike] My God.
-[Jennifer] I'm obsessed.
984
00:36:43,367 --> 00:36:44,467
[Alison] It's amazing.
985
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,367
I love the grid window.
986
00:36:46,367 --> 00:36:48,367
-[Mike] Unbelievable.
-[Alison] I love that,
that storefront look.
987
00:36:48,367 --> 00:36:50,000
You got a lot of textures
988
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,367
but they all work together,
and the colors blend.
989
00:36:52,367 --> 00:36:54,166
The lighting's key.
990
00:36:54,166 --> 00:36:55,278
And I know
there were a lot of hurdles
991
00:36:55,278 --> 00:36:55,900
And I know
there were a lot of hurdles
992
00:36:55,900 --> 00:36:57,867
but this is yours now.
993
00:36:57,867 --> 00:36:59,266
[Jennifer] This is a legit
dream come true.
994
00:36:59,266 --> 00:37:00,700
-[Alison] Ready to see inside
of your dream home?
-[Jennifer] Yes.
995
00:37:00,700 --> 00:37:01,634
-Yeah, absolutely
-Please.
996
00:37:01,634 --> 00:37:02,634
[Alison] Yeah? Okay, come on.
997
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:05,900
[gasps]
998
00:37:05,900 --> 00:37:07,233
Oh [bleep]
999
00:37:08,266 --> 00:37:09,433
Get in.
1000
00:37:10,533 --> 00:37:11,967
[exhales deeply]
1001
00:37:22,734 --> 00:37:25,278
-[Mike]
This is absolutely insane.
-[Jennifer] Oh, my God.
1002
00:37:25,278 --> 00:37:25,500
-[Mike]
This is absolutely insane.
-[Jennifer] Oh, my God.
1003
00:37:25,500 --> 00:37:26,967
Wow, this is amazing.
1004
00:37:28,166 --> 00:37:30,734
Oh, my God.
Unbelievable, Alison.
1005
00:37:32,700 --> 00:37:34,266
I know. I know.
1006
00:37:34,266 --> 00:37:35,333
[chuckles]
1007
00:37:36,900 --> 00:37:37,900
This is your home.
1008
00:37:37,900 --> 00:37:40,266
This is our house. [chuckles]
1009
00:37:40,266 --> 00:37:42,967
-The stairs--
-[Alison] It looks
like a magazine.
1010
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,100
[Mike] I know, right?
1011
00:37:45,100 --> 00:37:46,600
We were talking always
from the beginning,
1012
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,533
it was this modern
farmhouse feel.
1013
00:37:48,533 --> 00:37:50,100
And it's just sexy.
1014
00:37:50,900 --> 00:37:52,266
This is the family room,
right?
1015
00:37:52,266 --> 00:37:54,600
-We played around
with this floor plan--
-I remember. Yes.
1016
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:55,278
...for so long.
Now it just feels massive.
1017
00:37:55,278 --> 00:37:58,266
...for so long.
Now it just feels massive.
1018
00:37:58,266 --> 00:38:00,166
-[Jennifer] Perfect.
-Look at this,
I mean, to find this,
1019
00:38:00,166 --> 00:38:01,533
this is just 300 bucks.
1020
00:38:01,533 --> 00:38:04,734
Look what Ari was able
to do with it. To come in,
match everything.
1021
00:38:04,734 --> 00:38:05,900
-[Jennifer] Incredible.
-[Alison] Just have a fire.
1022
00:38:05,900 --> 00:38:07,166
-[Mike] It's really sharp.
-[Alison] It's sharp.
1023
00:38:07,166 --> 00:38:08,367
-It's really sharp.
-Incredible.
1024
00:38:08,367 --> 00:38:09,700
Yeah. I went and made this art
with him.
1025
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:12,233
-[Mike] Look at you.
-[Alison] I just did this,
and I went...
1026
00:38:13,700 --> 00:38:15,266
Then I flicked stuff on it.
1027
00:38:15,266 --> 00:38:17,800
-[Jennifer]
Is Ari selling those?
-[Alison] No, they're yours.
1028
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:18,734
-[Alison] It's a present.
-[Jennifer gasps]
1029
00:38:18,734 --> 00:38:20,266
-No!
-[Alison] Yes!
1030
00:38:20,266 --> 00:38:24,000
-[screaming] Yes!
-[Alison]
They're you're pieces.
1031
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,278
Yes. [laughs]
1032
00:38:25,278 --> 00:38:26,233
Yes. [laughs]
1033
00:38:26,700 --> 00:38:28,533
Look at this.
1034
00:38:28,533 --> 00:38:30,166
-[Mike] Oh, man.
-[Jennifer gasps]
1035
00:38:30,166 --> 00:38:34,367
[Alison] Coffee bar. Bourbon.
Do all your cocktails here.
1036
00:38:34,367 --> 00:38:35,900
Storage galore.
1037
00:38:35,900 --> 00:38:37,166
[Jennifer] And this is
how it is stained, right?
1038
00:38:37,166 --> 00:38:38,500
-[Alison] Yep.
-[Jennifer] I love it.
1039
00:38:38,500 --> 00:38:39,900
-[Alison] 'Cause it's that
raw rustic look.
-[Jennifer] Love it.
1040
00:38:39,900 --> 00:38:42,467
-I love it.
-[Alison] Then it's really
refined with the copper.
1041
00:38:42,867 --> 00:38:44,166
Informal dining.
1042
00:38:44,166 --> 00:38:46,166
-Look at this room.
-[Jennifer] Oh, my God.
1043
00:38:46,166 --> 00:38:47,900
-Dead. I'm dead.
-Come on.
1044
00:38:47,900 --> 00:38:49,900
That is porn for Jennifer.
1045
00:38:57,066 --> 00:39:00,066
Look at the little details
in the brass coming through.
1046
00:39:00,066 --> 00:39:02,467
Mixing metals
is really important. It works.
1047
00:39:02,467 --> 00:39:05,367
Look at how much
cabinet space you have.
1048
00:39:05,367 --> 00:39:07,800
[giggles]
1049
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,533
It's gonna be filled
1050
00:39:09,533 --> 00:39:11,533
in 20 seconds. [laughs]
1051
00:39:11,533 --> 00:39:14,333
-Let's be serious.
Look at this kitchen, please.
-Oh...
1052
00:39:23,533 --> 00:39:24,600
[Mike] Look at that.
1053
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:25,278
-[Jennifer] Everything...
-[Alison] How do you not--
1054
00:39:25,278 --> 00:39:26,166
-[Jennifer] Everything...
-[Alison] How do you not--
1055
00:39:26,166 --> 00:39:28,000
-Kitchen. The kitchen
you always wanted.
-Oh, my God.
1056
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,900
...fall in love with this?
1057
00:39:29,900 --> 00:39:32,467
You will absolutely love
working in this kitchen.
1058
00:39:32,467 --> 00:39:34,166
'Cause it functions perfectly.
1059
00:39:34,166 --> 00:39:36,266
Look how big your island is.
1060
00:39:36,266 --> 00:39:39,900
A sea of cabinets.
This hood is out of control.
1061
00:39:39,900 --> 00:39:41,100
[Mike] That is really awesome.
1062
00:39:41,100 --> 00:39:42,634
-I'm obsessed.
-That's really awesome.
1063
00:39:42,634 --> 00:39:46,100
[Alison] And it's the combo
of the wood, and the beautiful
patina copper
1064
00:39:46,100 --> 00:39:47,367
tying back in.
1065
00:39:47,367 --> 00:39:49,367
And it's yours.
1066
00:39:49,367 --> 00:39:51,166
I can't believe
this is our house. [laughs]
1067
00:39:51,166 --> 00:39:52,533
[Alison] This is your kitchen.
1068
00:39:52,533 --> 00:39:55,166
This is the real
show off kitchen too.
1069
00:39:55,166 --> 00:39:55,278
-[Mike] We did it.
-Yeah.
1070
00:39:55,278 --> 00:39:56,634
-[Mike] We did it.
-Yeah.
1071
00:39:56,634 --> 00:39:58,734
And stayed married
through the process.
1072
00:39:59,900 --> 00:40:03,266
The little details
that I'm not supposed
to love 'cause,
1073
00:40:03,266 --> 00:40:05,166
I'm a guy. But I love 'em.
1074
00:40:05,166 --> 00:40:06,800
-'Cause they're perfect.
-They're perfect.
1075
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,000
Think about all the fun finds.
1076
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,533
Fireplace mantel.
1077
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:10,900
Corbels.
1078
00:40:11,367 --> 00:40:12,900
These spindles.
1079
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,600
Even what Ari did looks old.
It's so sophisticated looking.
1080
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,533
And then, it still
has that cool country vibe.
1081
00:40:20,533 --> 00:40:21,800
-Oh, my God.
-[Alison] Wait till you see
your room.
1082
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,800
Come on. You guys are gonna
love the bedroom.
1083
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:25,278
-Here we go.
-[Jennifer gasps]
1084
00:40:25,278 --> 00:40:26,634
-Here we go.
-[Jennifer gasps]
1085
00:40:29,367 --> 00:40:33,166
-Oh... kay.
-[Alison] Okay.
1086
00:40:38,266 --> 00:40:40,166
[Jennifer] This is incredible.
1087
00:40:40,166 --> 00:40:42,367
[Mike] It's awesome.
1088
00:40:42,367 --> 00:40:44,100
[laughs] Oh, my God.
1089
00:40:44,100 --> 00:40:46,734
[Alison] Look how big
the room feels.
1090
00:40:47,266 --> 00:40:48,166
You were right.
1091
00:40:48,166 --> 00:40:50,000
This is spacious.
1092
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,467
-[Jennifer] Yes.
-[Alison] Getting in
and out of bed.
1093
00:40:51,467 --> 00:40:54,367
I mean,
those night stands are small.
You can get even bigger ones.
1094
00:40:54,367 --> 00:40:55,278
The light though
that comes in.
1095
00:40:55,278 --> 00:40:56,266
The light though
that comes in.
1096
00:40:56,266 --> 00:40:57,266
-[Jennifer] Incredible.
-[Alison] I know.
1097
00:40:57,266 --> 00:40:59,166
And then,
who has a closet like this.
Come here.
1098
00:41:00,066 --> 00:41:03,900
-[Jennifer] Oh, wow.
-[Alison] Okay.
1099
00:41:03,900 --> 00:41:05,600
-Come to mama.
-[laughs]
1100
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:06,533
[Jennifer laughs]
1101
00:41:06,533 --> 00:41:08,367
Look how big it is.
Look at this.
1102
00:41:08,367 --> 00:41:10,634
-You have so many
damn drawers.
-[Jennifer] I know.
1103
00:41:10,634 --> 00:41:13,533
-It's perfect.
This is our house.
-[Alison] Yep.
1104
00:41:13,533 --> 00:41:15,100
-This is your walk-in closet.
-[laughs]
1105
00:41:15,100 --> 00:41:17,634
-I'm really excited
to show you the bathroom.
-Mmm.
1106
00:41:17,634 --> 00:41:19,066
-"Mmm"?
-Yeah. [laughs]
1107
00:41:19,066 --> 00:41:20,634
-[Mike] Mmm.
-How's this comfort you?
1108
00:41:20,634 --> 00:41:22,166
-[Jennifer] Come to papa.
Come to papa.
-[Mike laughs] Mmm.
1109
00:41:23,100 --> 00:41:24,634
-[Jennifer gasps]
-Yes.
1110
00:41:25,100 --> 00:41:25,278
[upbeat music playing]
1111
00:41:25,278 --> 00:41:27,233
[upbeat music playing]
1112
00:41:30,367 --> 00:41:31,500
[Mike] Look at that.
1113
00:41:31,500 --> 00:41:33,700
-[Alison] And it's like,
a magazine.
-[Mike] Oozing.
1114
00:41:33,700 --> 00:41:37,166
-[Jennifer] Look at these
light fixtures.
-[Mike] I know, right?
1115
00:41:37,166 --> 00:41:40,467
[Alison]
Even just the showers,
it's massive.
1116
00:41:40,467 --> 00:41:41,734
-Right.
-Look at it.
1117
00:41:41,734 --> 00:41:43,367
[Mike] That's right.
1118
00:41:43,367 --> 00:41:44,533
-Ooh--
-[Alison] How cool is this?
1119
00:41:44,533 --> 00:41:45,800
-[Mike] ...look at that seat
in there?
-[Alison] Yeah.
1120
00:41:46,533 --> 00:41:48,367
Look at these mirrors.
1121
00:41:48,367 --> 00:41:50,600
The tile all the way up.
1122
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,800
[Jennifer]
This tile is everything.
1123
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,066
[Alison]
Looks like a million bucks.
1124
00:41:54,066 --> 00:41:55,278
And the beautiful
hickory cabinets.
1125
00:41:55,278 --> 00:41:56,367
And the beautiful
hickory cabinets.
1126
00:41:56,367 --> 00:41:58,367
You pull in
that element of wood.
1127
00:41:58,367 --> 00:42:00,100
Everything feels
very farmhouse.
1128
00:42:01,166 --> 00:42:03,367
It's a beautiful
modern twist on it,
1129
00:42:03,367 --> 00:42:04,800
and we're
in the city of Chicago.
1130
00:42:05,266 --> 00:42:06,266
It's cool.
1131
00:42:06,266 --> 00:42:07,433
It's amazing.
1132
00:42:08,100 --> 00:42:09,734
That shower, I mean,
1133
00:42:09,734 --> 00:42:11,100
I'm gonna pay rent in there.
1134
00:42:11,100 --> 00:42:12,266
[Jennifer] Our kids
are still little.
1135
00:42:12,266 --> 00:42:14,967
So, all of their memories
are gonna be in this house.
1136
00:42:15,367 --> 00:42:16,634
It's incredible.
1137
00:42:16,634 --> 00:42:19,266
I knew the color
of the cabinets,
1138
00:42:19,266 --> 00:42:20,700
I knew the copper,
1139
00:42:20,700 --> 00:42:22,500
I knew the light fixture.
1140
00:42:22,500 --> 00:42:23,700
I knew. I knew--
1141
00:42:23,700 --> 00:42:25,278
But seeing it all together,
1142
00:42:25,278 --> 00:42:26,533
But seeing it all together,
1143
00:42:26,533 --> 00:42:30,500
is beyond my wildest dreams.
1144
00:42:30,500 --> 00:42:32,500
[Alison] And you can now
envision life here--
1145
00:42:32,500 --> 00:42:33,800
-[Mike] Yeah.
-[Alison]
...and your kids here,
1146
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,066
and your friends here,
and your family,
and your holidays.
1147
00:42:37,066 --> 00:42:39,266
This is 100% our dream house.
1148
00:42:39,266 --> 00:42:40,166
[Alison] I love that.
1149
00:42:40,166 --> 00:42:42,266
-100%
-[Alison] I love that.
1150
00:42:42,266 --> 00:42:44,066
This one's really
personal for me.
1151
00:42:45,533 --> 00:42:46,634
I'm beyond happy.
1152
00:42:47,066 --> 00:42:48,100
These are my friends.
1153
00:42:48,100 --> 00:42:50,367
And to be able
to give them their dream home
1154
00:42:50,367 --> 00:42:52,367
is a dream of my mine.
1155
00:42:52,367 --> 00:42:55,278
Why I got into this business,
is to change people's lives.
