1
00:00:01,085 --> 00:00:02,501
Every forever home
has its own story.
2
00:00:02,503 --> 00:00:04,086
[Drew] And we can't wait
to help tell it.
3
00:00:04,121 --> 00:00:06,088
It's been in my family
for generations.
4
00:00:06,165 --> 00:00:08,090
Let me smash!
Let me smash!
5
00:00:08,092 --> 00:00:09,216
[Jonathan]
This is the next step.
6
00:00:09,218 --> 00:00:11,093
[woman 1]
The next chapter in my life.
7
00:00:11,170 --> 00:00:14,096
-Hiyah!
-[Jonathan] Love it.
8
00:00:14,173 --> 00:00:16,181
[Drew] After you.
Welcome home.
9
00:00:16,183 --> 00:00:17,850
-[woman 2] Oh, my goodness.
-[man 1] Look at this!
10
00:00:17,852 --> 00:00:19,351
[man 2] Oh, wow.
11
00:00:19,353 --> 00:00:21,228
-Let's go!
-It feels like home.
12
00:00:24,358 --> 00:00:25,691
Group hug.
13
00:00:34,118 --> 00:00:36,326
[Jonathan] So how are you
finding it with baby life?
14
00:00:36,328 --> 00:00:37,745
I'm streamlining things.
15
00:00:37,821 --> 00:00:39,538
I'm efficient
with changing diapers
16
00:00:39,540 --> 00:00:41,373
and all the swaddling.
17
00:00:41,450 --> 00:00:45,085
So you're saying that
you're actually becoming
more time efficient?
18
00:00:45,162 --> 00:00:47,671
I mean, speaking of busy
schedules, Alex and Ginger.
19
00:00:47,673 --> 00:00:49,465
They don't have
a baby schedule,
20
00:00:49,467 --> 00:00:51,508
but they definitely have
a doggy schedule.
21
00:00:51,510 --> 00:00:52,634
Yeah.
22
00:00:52,711 --> 00:00:54,344
We met at University
of Connecticut
23
00:00:54,388 --> 00:00:55,804
when we were both in school.
24
00:00:55,881 --> 00:00:57,514
And we've been
together six years.
25
00:00:57,516 --> 00:00:59,183
[Alex] We did long distance
for two years
26
00:00:59,185 --> 00:01:01,268
when I moved back
to California.
27
00:01:01,270 --> 00:01:03,729
And then I moved out here
and have been here
for about a year.
28
00:01:03,731 --> 00:01:05,564
Hi.
29
00:01:05,566 --> 00:01:08,442
We got our two puppies,
Lily and Koda,
nine months ago.
30
00:01:08,519 --> 00:01:10,736
And this was the home that
we brought them home to.
31
00:01:10,813 --> 00:01:13,197
And they're really like
our two kids right now.
32
00:01:13,199 --> 00:01:16,366
Just like kids, you kind of
adjust your home
33
00:01:16,368 --> 00:01:17,451
to work for the pups.
34
00:01:17,453 --> 00:01:19,453
Yeah.
35
00:01:19,530 --> 00:01:21,121
[Alex] This was
my grandparents' home.
36
00:01:21,198 --> 00:01:23,582
They moved in here about
in the 1960s.
37
00:01:23,584 --> 00:01:25,584
I lived right down the stree
from them,
38
00:01:25,661 --> 00:01:27,419
so I pretty much grew up
here as well.
39
00:01:27,496 --> 00:01:30,923
My grandparents were
the most loving individuals.
40
00:01:30,925 --> 00:01:34,093
They were like
second parents to me.
41
00:01:34,211 --> 00:01:36,845
My grandmother passed away
about five years ago.
42
00:01:36,847 --> 00:01:39,765
I know that it left a hole
in my grandfather's heart.
43
00:01:39,767 --> 00:01:42,226
So my grandfather
was living here by himself.
44
00:01:42,311 --> 00:01:43,769
He asked me if I wanted to
move in with him,
and there was...
45
00:01:43,771 --> 00:01:45,679
I didn't even have to
think twice.
46
00:01:45,681 --> 00:01:47,773
You know, we had
a great two years together
being roommates.
47
00:01:47,775 --> 00:01:49,566
We were the best of friends
48
00:01:49,610 --> 00:01:52,820
And he actually
did pass away last year.
49
00:01:52,822 --> 00:01:54,655
One of the things
that he told me
50
00:01:54,657 --> 00:01:56,198
when he so graciously left m
51
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,119
the house was, he wanted us
to make it our own.
52
00:02:00,121 --> 00:02:01,495
I think that's
pretty cool though.
53
00:02:01,497 --> 00:02:03,205
This is a family
that is very tight.
54
00:02:03,207 --> 00:02:04,540
When you become roommates
with your grandpa,
55
00:02:04,542 --> 00:02:06,850
you know you're close.
56
00:02:06,852 --> 00:02:08,794
[Ginger] This is definitely
an ideal house for us
to raise a family in.
57
00:02:08,796 --> 00:02:10,212
And that's something
we really look forward
58
00:02:10,214 --> 00:02:11,713
to doing together one day.
59
00:02:11,790 --> 00:02:13,190
The memories are beautiful.
60
00:02:13,192 --> 00:02:15,884
But our kitchen right now
is pretty cramped.
61
00:02:15,886 --> 00:02:17,928
[Alex] Things are not
where they should be.
62
00:02:17,972 --> 00:02:19,263
[Ginger]
It can be really frustratin
63
00:02:19,265 --> 00:02:21,122
on a daily basis to
64
00:02:21,124 --> 00:02:23,350
not be in a kitchen
that works,
to be in a living room
65
00:02:23,352 --> 00:02:25,126
that feels really messy.
66
00:02:25,128 --> 00:02:27,604
[Alex] It is our intention t
keep this house in the famil
67
00:02:27,606 --> 00:02:29,523
to pass it down
to our kids eventually,
68
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,109
or pass it down to
our grandkids eventually.
69
00:02:32,111 --> 00:02:33,652
There were three generation
70
00:02:33,654 --> 00:02:35,487
that grew up
in this household.
71
00:02:35,489 --> 00:02:37,030
And we hope to make many more.
72
00:02:37,032 --> 00:02:40,284
[Ginger] We are so excited to
make this our forever home.
73
00:02:40,286 --> 00:02:42,119
But we don't know
what we're doing.
74
00:02:47,209 --> 00:02:47,916
-Hey.
-Hey.
75
00:02:47,918 --> 00:02:49,242
-Hey.
-Hi.
76
00:02:49,244 --> 00:02:51,003
Have you literally been
just standing here poised?
77
00:02:51,005 --> 00:02:53,463
-Yes, we were.
-We're waiting for
someone to come help us.
78
00:02:53,465 --> 00:02:54,506
-Absolutely.
-[Ginger] Come on in.
79
00:02:54,508 --> 00:02:58,969
All right.
80
00:02:58,971 --> 00:03:00,804
-It all begins.
-It all begins.
81
00:03:00,806 --> 00:03:01,922
Happens all the time.
82
00:03:01,924 --> 00:03:04,308
-Oh, my gosh. We saw nothing.
-Yes.
83
00:03:04,343 --> 00:03:06,310
That was not
a very good first impression.
84
00:03:06,353 --> 00:03:07,519
Can I go over a few things?
85
00:03:07,521 --> 00:03:08,854
-Absolutely.
-Please.
86
00:03:08,931 --> 00:03:10,230
I just want to know,
was this like some sort of,
87
00:03:10,232 --> 00:03:11,982
like, a steam bath
or something?
88
00:03:11,984 --> 00:03:13,525
At some point,
what was going on?
89
00:03:13,527 --> 00:03:14,860
Your guess is as good as mine.
90
00:03:14,862 --> 00:03:16,195
I have no idea.
91
00:03:16,271 --> 00:03:17,946
[Jonathan] I actually love
the detail of this.
92
00:03:18,023 --> 00:03:19,781
-I don't like that. No.
-[Jonathan] No?
93
00:03:19,858 --> 00:03:21,149
I mean, this was some...
94
00:03:21,226 --> 00:03:23,869
a DIY project,
but I think we can do better.
95
00:03:23,871 --> 00:03:25,095
The other thing that's crazy
96
00:03:25,097 --> 00:03:26,997
is why they designed it
so closed off.
97
00:03:26,999 --> 00:03:29,416
Your kitchen is tucked
away behind this wall.
98
00:03:29,493 --> 00:03:30,834
Straight ahead
is your living room,
99
00:03:30,836 --> 00:03:32,878
which feels very separated,
100
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,922
but it looks like
a pretty big empty space.
101
00:03:34,924 --> 00:03:36,465
[Drew] Wait, hold on.
102
00:03:36,541 --> 00:03:39,009
-I love this.
-Me too. Thank you.
103
00:03:39,011 --> 00:03:40,010
Do you both play the guitar?
104
00:03:40,012 --> 00:03:41,244
[Alex] Just me.
105
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,597
Have you ever considered
the harmonica?
106
00:03:44,683 --> 00:03:46,516
-A lot easier to tuck away.
-[Alex] Yeah.
107
00:03:46,518 --> 00:03:48,685
[Drew] Twenty-three,
twenty-four, twenty-five?
Twenty-five?
108
00:03:48,729 --> 00:03:50,270
Probably,
but they're all different.
109
00:03:50,347 --> 00:03:51,438
[Drew] Oh, my God.
110
00:03:51,515 --> 00:03:53,440
How often do you play
all of them?
111
00:03:53,442 --> 00:03:55,067
-All the time.
-Yeah.
112
00:03:55,143 --> 00:03:56,610
Come on, show us
a little something.
113
00:04:00,407 --> 00:04:02,223
♪ We want to fix the house ♪
114
00:04:02,225 --> 00:04:04,201
♪ And make it really pretty
We're gonna do this reno! ♪
115
00:04:04,245 --> 00:04:06,620
♪ Open some walls
And make the doggies happy ♪
116
00:04:06,622 --> 00:04:08,138
I like this.
117
00:04:08,140 --> 00:04:09,831
It's just... he's off tune
because this is out of tune.
118
00:04:09,833 --> 00:04:10,999
-Right.
-Exactly.
119
00:04:11,001 --> 00:04:12,918
I appreciate
how much he loves guitars,
120
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,337
but the clutter of it
drives me crazy.
121
00:04:15,414 --> 00:04:16,338
How do you really feel?
122
00:04:16,340 --> 00:04:17,839
Yeah, well, honestly...
123
00:04:17,916 --> 00:04:20,217
-Yeah, they got to go.
-[Jonathan] Yeah, I get it.
124
00:04:20,219 --> 00:04:22,803
There's a way for us
to curate
125
00:04:22,805 --> 00:04:24,179
the ones that you
want to showcase
126
00:04:24,181 --> 00:04:25,347
by maybe getting them
up on a wall.
127
00:04:25,349 --> 00:04:26,390
-Right.
-Please.
128
00:04:26,392 --> 00:04:27,549
Getting them out of the way.
129
00:04:27,551 --> 00:04:28,767
Clearly, you don't use
the fireplace
130
00:04:28,769 --> 00:04:30,352
'cause it's covered
in guitars.
131
00:04:30,354 --> 00:04:32,854
Do you want to keep
a nice fireplace feature?
132
00:04:32,856 --> 00:04:34,398
Do you want a TV over here?
133
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,857
-Yes.
-Yeah.
I think at TV would be great.
134
00:04:35,859 --> 00:04:37,943
Yeah.
We want to use this room
for entertaining.
135
00:04:37,945 --> 00:04:39,611
And this was the playroom.
136
00:04:39,613 --> 00:04:40,946
This was the place
where we'd bring
our toys over.
137
00:04:41,023 --> 00:04:42,614
We'd play with our trucks.
138
00:04:42,616 --> 00:04:44,491
[Jonathan] Well, any playtime
or entertaining would be hard
139
00:04:44,493 --> 00:04:46,702
with this wall,
creating such a separation
140
00:04:46,704 --> 00:04:48,269
between the kitchen
and living room.
141
00:04:48,347 --> 00:04:50,789
But at least you have a nice,
clear view of the backyard.
142
00:04:50,791 --> 00:04:52,440
[Ginger] We love the backyard.
143
00:04:52,442 --> 00:04:53,834
The backyard is one
of the favorite spots
in our house.
144
00:04:53,836 --> 00:04:55,002
Oh, this is a great yard.
145
00:04:55,004 --> 00:04:56,169
-It's big.
-Thank you. Yeah.
146
00:04:56,246 --> 00:04:57,296
We love it out here.
147
00:04:57,298 --> 00:04:58,839
And we're out here
all the time.
148
00:04:58,915 --> 00:05:00,549
We eat most of
our meals out here.
149
00:05:00,551 --> 00:05:02,968
We hang out with the dogs
and run around.
150
00:05:02,970 --> 00:05:04,845
[Alex] I used to come out here
with my grandma
151
00:05:04,921 --> 00:05:06,430
and we used to have
berry gardens,
152
00:05:06,473 --> 00:05:08,348
and we all got
our own bush to
153
00:05:08,350 --> 00:05:11,268
take care of and make sure
that it cultivated fruits.
154
00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:14,980
Can I just say this is like,
"Okay, beautiful yard.
155
00:05:14,982 --> 00:05:16,398
Some things are happening."
156
00:05:18,110 --> 00:05:19,359
You know,
you've got the island
157
00:05:19,436 --> 00:05:19,967
of misfit toys here
and then...
158
00:05:20,045 --> 00:05:21,653
I don't know.
159
00:05:21,655 --> 00:05:23,613
This is something we really,
really could use
your help with.
160
00:05:23,615 --> 00:05:25,699
The priority, though,
is really making sure
the dogs are happy...
161
00:05:25,701 --> 00:05:26,941
Yeah, yeah.
162
00:05:27,018 --> 00:05:28,702
...making sure that
the dogs are able to
163
00:05:28,704 --> 00:05:29,911
feel comfortable running
164
00:05:29,913 --> 00:05:31,663
and have more space
to play fetch.
165
00:05:31,665 --> 00:05:33,832
[Ginger] Because it's so muddy
and dirty,
166
00:05:33,834 --> 00:05:35,167
they're constantly tracking
that inside.
167
00:05:35,169 --> 00:05:36,393
[Drew] Right.
168
00:05:36,395 --> 00:05:38,837
Natural grass,
it drains better for...
169
00:05:38,914 --> 00:05:40,672
for larger dogs.
170
00:05:40,674 --> 00:05:42,549
But then you would need
to have like
a dog wash station out here.
171
00:05:42,551 --> 00:05:44,259
[Ginger] Oh, my God.
That'd be amazing.
172
00:05:44,261 --> 00:05:45,927
I know how important
it is that
173
00:05:45,929 --> 00:05:47,888
if you have a space that works
for your animals,
174
00:05:47,890 --> 00:05:49,473
it makes life
a whole lot easier.
175
00:05:49,475 --> 00:05:50,891
-Right, right.
-Yes, exactly. Exactly.
176
00:05:50,967 --> 00:05:52,500
The other thing out here, too,
177
00:05:52,502 --> 00:05:54,269
is that I really can't wait
for my family to come visit.
178
00:05:54,271 --> 00:05:55,437
They all live
on the East Coast.
179
00:05:55,439 --> 00:05:56,855
I grew up on the East Coast.
180
00:05:56,857 --> 00:05:58,857
And so they have winters
and they have cold weather.
181
00:05:58,859 --> 00:06:00,609
And I want to be able to
entertain out here,
182
00:06:00,611 --> 00:06:02,102
have everyone
sitting outside...
183
00:06:02,104 --> 00:06:04,112
-[Drew] Of course.
-...enjoy
the California weather.
184
00:06:04,114 --> 00:06:05,489
[Jonathan] What does it
feel like to you
185
00:06:05,532 --> 00:06:06,698
when you think of finally
186
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:09,076
making this feel like
your home?
187
00:06:09,078 --> 00:06:10,427
The move was really hard,
188
00:06:10,429 --> 00:06:12,496
and I was really scared
to leave my family.
189
00:06:12,539 --> 00:06:14,748
And I'm so glad that
I'm here to be with him.
190
00:06:14,750 --> 00:06:17,209
And we haven't had
our own space.
191
00:06:17,211 --> 00:06:21,129
So to finally create something
that's ours together is...
it's amazing.
192
00:06:21,131 --> 00:06:22,697
And I think
it's pretty amazing, too,
193
00:06:22,699 --> 00:06:24,633
that there is a history here
with your family, Alex, too.
194
00:06:24,635 --> 00:06:26,109
Absolutely.
195
00:06:26,111 --> 00:06:29,096
So make this perfect
for your family to come visit,
196
00:06:29,098 --> 00:06:31,114
for the pups here,
for you guys,
197
00:06:31,116 --> 00:06:33,183
and starting this new chapter
of your lives together
with your own house.
198
00:06:33,185 --> 00:06:35,135
-Yeah.
-Yes.
199
00:06:35,137 --> 00:06:37,979
I believe that the people
we love when they pass,
they're still watching us.
200
00:06:38,056 --> 00:06:40,123
Yeah.
201
00:06:40,125 --> 00:06:42,692
And I guarantee you
that your grandfather is,
like, rooting in your corner.
202
00:06:42,694 --> 00:06:45,195
He's like, "Yes!
The rocks are gone.
203
00:06:45,239 --> 00:06:46,896
Get that out of here."
204
00:06:46,907 --> 00:06:49,574
[Alex] The backyard,
this is one
of our main spaces.
205
00:06:49,576 --> 00:06:51,159
And of course,
we certainly would like
206
00:06:51,161 --> 00:06:52,494
to tackle the kitchen.
207
00:06:52,496 --> 00:06:54,079
I want to look on
the other side of that wall.
208
00:06:54,081 --> 00:06:55,622
-Sure.
-Go for it.
209
00:06:58,001 --> 00:06:59,167
I mean, if it wasn't there,
210
00:06:59,169 --> 00:07:01,253
just picture the view
all the way
211
00:07:01,329 --> 00:07:03,171
from the living room
and into this kitchen.
212
00:07:03,173 --> 00:07:05,215
[Ginger] It's very closed off.
Yeah.
213
00:07:05,259 --> 00:07:07,008
That's a big space overall.
214
00:07:07,010 --> 00:07:10,470
But I feel
when you have this big space
215
00:07:10,547 --> 00:07:11,763
and then they just shove
the kitchen
216
00:07:11,765 --> 00:07:13,339
into that tiny little corner
over here,
217
00:07:13,416 --> 00:07:15,434
like, just imagine if this was
a little bit more expansive
218
00:07:15,436 --> 00:07:18,145
or if you had
a big island right here.
219
00:07:18,221 --> 00:07:19,512
-Yeah, yeah.
-Right, right.
220
00:07:19,514 --> 00:07:20,814
And something else, too,
is there's really not
221
00:07:20,816 --> 00:07:22,357
a lot of counter space.
222
00:07:22,392 --> 00:07:24,401
So I feel like
it's just really hard
223
00:07:24,403 --> 00:07:26,445
when I'm cooking over here
at the stove to not be
224
00:07:26,447 --> 00:07:27,779
able to put something
next to me.
225
00:07:27,856 --> 00:07:29,614
But we do want to keep
a little bit of an elevated
226
00:07:29,616 --> 00:07:32,451
counter space for the dogs
'cause they jump so high.
227
00:07:32,527 --> 00:07:34,369
Another thing that's kind of
strange about the space
228
00:07:34,371 --> 00:07:35,512
the way it currently is,
229
00:07:35,514 --> 00:07:37,138
is we're shoved
in the corner to eat
230
00:07:37,215 --> 00:07:40,417
and so we can't have
more than two, three,
four of us eating.
231
00:07:40,419 --> 00:07:42,836
Well, everything's working
against you
because that separation wall.
232
00:07:42,871 --> 00:07:44,111
-[Ginger] Right.
-[Alex] Right.
233
00:07:44,189 --> 00:07:45,246
[Jonathan] ...from the front
entry blocks,
234
00:07:45,248 --> 00:07:46,965
all the light closes
that off there.
235
00:07:46,967 --> 00:07:49,342
I mean, I am a little bit
worried because this is not an
236
00:07:49,419 --> 00:07:51,178
easy footprint to deal with
237
00:07:51,180 --> 00:07:52,762
unless we're literally taking
the kitchen
238
00:07:52,764 --> 00:07:54,288
all the way across.
239
00:07:54,290 --> 00:07:56,057
But we still want to make sure
you have a dining area.
240
00:07:56,059 --> 00:07:58,310
So do you agree that
that wall should go?
241
00:07:58,386 --> 00:08:00,145
-Absolutely. That's got to go.
-Yes, absolutely.
242
00:08:00,222 --> 00:08:01,646
[Jonathan] If the wall
to the living room goes,
243
00:08:01,723 --> 00:08:03,422
we also have to remove
244
00:08:03,500 --> 00:08:05,817
and shift over
the smaller wall
by the front door.
245
00:08:05,819 --> 00:08:07,486
You'll have
a much bigger entry
246
00:08:07,488 --> 00:08:08,695
and closet space.
247
00:08:08,772 --> 00:08:10,447
With that wall
in a new position,
248
00:08:10,449 --> 00:08:12,449
we can then extend
your kitchen for more space
249
00:08:12,451 --> 00:08:13,808
with a better view of your
250
00:08:13,810 --> 00:08:15,911
wide-open dining
and living room areas.
251
00:08:15,913 --> 00:08:17,913
This house could be
so amazing.
252
00:08:17,915 --> 00:08:19,873
It does not feel like
you guys at all.
253
00:08:19,875 --> 00:08:21,124
-No, it's not. It's not.
-Right.
254
00:08:21,126 --> 00:08:22,334
[Jonathan] What is your style?
255
00:08:22,410 --> 00:08:24,336
[Ginger] A combination
of bright and happy
256
00:08:24,412 --> 00:08:27,506
and joyful and also
without being chaotic.
257
00:08:27,508 --> 00:08:29,132
You know,
we're relatively happy people,
258
00:08:29,176 --> 00:08:31,009
bubbly people, you know?
259
00:08:31,011 --> 00:08:33,053
So a space that reflects
that is great.
260
00:08:33,055 --> 00:08:35,430
So maybe
a transitional bohemian style,
261
00:08:35,507 --> 00:08:36,431
always playing upbeat songs.
262
00:08:36,508 --> 00:08:37,557
Yeah.
263
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:38,475
-Awesome.
-Awesome.
264
00:08:38,477 --> 00:08:40,093
Big, important question.
265
00:08:40,095 --> 00:08:41,561
For the renovation,
what are you thinking
for budget?
266
00:08:41,563 --> 00:08:43,563
Roughly 182,000.
267
00:08:43,565 --> 00:08:45,273
That's a fairly good budget,
268
00:08:45,275 --> 00:08:46,858
especially if we're taking
out walls
269
00:08:46,935 --> 00:08:48,818
and looking to renovate
inside and outside.
270
00:08:48,820 --> 00:08:50,320
So what areas do you
want to focus on?
271
00:08:50,322 --> 00:08:52,021
The kitchen, obviously.
272
00:08:52,023 --> 00:08:54,407
The living room
and the outdoor space
would be great.
273
00:08:54,409 --> 00:08:56,576
-Okay.
-Okay, That's not bad for 182.
274
00:08:56,578 --> 00:08:58,453
-Exactly what needs it.
-[Alex] Yeah.
275
00:08:58,455 --> 00:09:00,330
We'll work out
a couple options
276
00:09:00,332 --> 00:09:02,374
that really are gonna make
a difference for you.
277
00:09:02,376 --> 00:09:03,542
-Thank you so much.
-Awesome.
278
00:09:03,544 --> 00:09:05,359
Thank you so much, guys.
We're so excited.
279
00:09:05,437 --> 00:09:07,837
Just so you guys know,
I want to take you
somewhere for inspiration.
280
00:09:07,881 --> 00:09:09,965
I want to really understand
what that relaxed,
281
00:09:09,967 --> 00:09:11,374
fresh, happy vibe means.
282
00:09:11,376 --> 00:09:13,510
-Awesome.
-In the meantime,
I'll play us out.
283
00:09:13,512 --> 00:09:15,011
All right.
284
00:09:23,814 --> 00:09:26,398
Oh, last time
you have to do that.
285
00:09:27,276 --> 00:09:28,733
Come on in.
286
00:09:28,810 --> 00:09:31,069
Oh, my gosh.
How do you feel?
287
00:09:31,071 --> 00:09:32,779
How was it packing
everything up?
288
00:09:32,856 --> 00:09:34,030
I think it hit me a lot
when I just saw
289
00:09:34,032 --> 00:09:35,315
the house empty...
290
00:09:35,391 --> 00:09:37,200
-Yeah.
-...and when I saw
everything gone.
291
00:09:37,244 --> 00:09:38,577
It's hard to watch
someone you love
292
00:09:38,579 --> 00:09:40,495
go through something that
causes them a lot of pain.
293
00:09:40,497 --> 00:09:43,123
And so I got very emotional
when we left.
294
00:09:43,125 --> 00:09:44,457
And I started crying just
295
00:09:44,459 --> 00:09:45,834
'cause I could really feel
for him.
296
00:09:45,836 --> 00:09:47,210
It was a lot more emotional
297
00:09:47,254 --> 00:09:48,478
than I thought
it was gonna be.
298
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,630
Well, you know, as soon
as we're done,
299
00:09:50,632 --> 00:09:53,174
you'll see the potential
in this place.
300
00:09:53,176 --> 00:09:54,467
-Awesome.
-Awesome. Oh, my God.
301
00:09:54,469 --> 00:09:55,760
-I'm so excited.
-[Jonathan] All right.
302
00:09:55,837 --> 00:09:56,970
Let's start with this wall.
303
00:09:57,047 --> 00:09:58,763
Who wants to
take the first hit?
304
00:09:58,765 --> 00:10:01,016
-[Alex] I think Ginger should.
-All right.
305
00:10:01,018 --> 00:10:02,309
Okay.
306
00:10:03,812 --> 00:10:05,061
Oh, my God!
307
00:10:05,063 --> 00:10:09,858
-How does that feel?
-That's insane.
308
00:10:09,934 --> 00:10:11,192
Oh!
309
00:10:14,823 --> 00:10:16,698
Ginger was a huge
driving force
310
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:18,533
of getting the
house renovated,
311
00:10:18,535 --> 00:10:20,142
making the house our own.
312
00:10:20,144 --> 00:10:22,996
When I saw Ginger smile
just destroying things,
313
00:10:22,998 --> 00:10:25,123
I actually wasn't surprised
with that
314
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,126
because she likes
destroying things.
She likes doing like that.
315
00:10:30,213 --> 00:10:31,546
Wow!
316
00:10:35,344 --> 00:10:36,635
Built to last!
317
00:10:41,433 --> 00:10:42,474
Whoo!
318
00:10:42,476 --> 00:10:44,059
Timber!
319
00:10:48,857 --> 00:10:51,232
Get this out of here.
320
00:10:51,234 --> 00:10:53,234
Oh, there's bugs
coming out of there.
321
00:10:53,311 --> 00:10:55,779
-Oh, no.
-Oh, so gross.
322
00:10:55,822 --> 00:10:57,906
Okay. That's so gross.
323
00:10:57,908 --> 00:10:59,282
[Jonathan] Now.
324
00:10:59,284 --> 00:11:01,493
[Ginger] Wow.
325
00:11:01,495 --> 00:11:03,578
-[Jonathan] Oh, that's gross.
-[Ginger] What is it?
326
00:11:03,580 --> 00:11:06,247
That's evidence
that you've had bugs
327
00:11:06,324 --> 00:11:07,624
living in this wall.
328
00:11:07,659 --> 00:11:09,751
Probably cockroaches.
329
00:11:09,828 --> 00:11:11,503
But it's okay.
We're redoing it all.
330
00:11:11,579 --> 00:11:12,896
It's gonna be pretty.
331
00:11:12,898 --> 00:11:14,631
It's going to be clean,
but not fun to know
332
00:11:14,633 --> 00:11:16,883
that you've been
sharing the house
with somebody unwanted.
333
00:11:16,885 --> 00:11:18,176
Definitely not.
334
00:11:18,253 --> 00:11:19,928
Finding the bugs
was completely disgusting.
335
00:11:20,004 --> 00:11:21,304
I mean, it was...
336
00:11:21,306 --> 00:11:22,329
Especially in the kitchen.
337
00:11:22,331 --> 00:11:24,048
Yeah,
especially in the kitchen.
338
00:11:24,050 --> 00:11:25,975
That's probably the one place
where you don't
really want them.
339
00:11:26,019 --> 00:11:27,060
Yeah.
340
00:11:27,137 --> 00:11:28,395
-Give it a pull on three.
-Okay.
341
00:11:28,397 --> 00:11:29,938
[Jonathan] Yeah.
One, two, three.
342
00:11:31,233 --> 00:11:32,607
Boom! All right.
343
00:11:32,684 --> 00:11:34,025
Keep going to the...
What is that?
344
00:11:34,102 --> 00:11:35,193
What is...
345
00:11:35,270 --> 00:11:36,528
[Ginger] Oh, Alex!
346
00:11:38,699 --> 00:11:39,989
Okay.
Keep going to the...
347
00:11:39,991 --> 00:11:41,700
What is that? What is...
348
00:11:43,328 --> 00:11:45,203
[Alex] Hey, anchovies.
349
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:46,663
Grandpa's favorite
pizza topping.
350
00:11:46,707 --> 00:11:48,540
Oh, Alex!
351
00:11:48,542 --> 00:11:53,086
Of all the things to find that
have fallen behind the drawer.
352
00:11:53,088 --> 00:11:54,170
Oh, my gosh.
353
00:11:54,214 --> 00:11:56,089
Says keeping a cool place.
354
00:11:56,091 --> 00:11:59,175
Okay, Grandpa,
that's not a cool place.
355
00:11:59,219 --> 00:12:01,052
Okay. We're opening one.
356
00:12:01,129 --> 00:12:02,303
Oh, my God.
357
00:12:04,558 --> 00:12:06,766
It stinks so bad.
358
00:12:06,768 --> 00:12:08,309
-Oh.
-I'll be right back.
359
00:12:08,311 --> 00:12:09,436
-You guys keep going.
-Okay.
360
00:12:09,512 --> 00:12:10,478
-Okay.
-Okay.
361
00:12:10,555 --> 00:12:11,604
Anchovies are gone.
362
00:12:11,606 --> 00:12:13,606
Let's move on
to the living room.
363
00:12:13,683 --> 00:12:14,899
I can't see you.
364
00:12:14,901 --> 00:12:16,359
-We're over here!
-Oh, yeah.
365
00:12:16,361 --> 00:12:18,695
It's 'cause of this giant,
awful wall.
366
00:12:18,697 --> 00:12:20,447
All right, pick a spot.
367
00:12:20,449 --> 00:12:21,573
We're gonna bust some holes.
368
00:12:21,649 --> 00:12:22,782
Okay.
369
00:12:32,919 --> 00:12:34,419
Looking good.
370
00:12:35,297 --> 00:12:38,339
Do you want to see
your kitchen?
371
00:12:38,341 --> 00:12:39,832
-Yes.
-Yes.
372
00:12:47,058 --> 00:12:50,059
They say the couples that
break together stay together.
373
00:12:51,438 --> 00:12:52,520
Right?
374
00:12:52,522 --> 00:12:53,563
Is that amazing or what?
375
00:12:53,565 --> 00:12:54,939
-It's amazing.
-It's awesome.
376
00:12:55,016 --> 00:12:56,483
It already looks like
a totally different house.
377
00:12:56,485 --> 00:12:57,692
-Yeah.
-All right.
378
00:12:57,694 --> 00:12:59,819
Well, I can tell
by the heavy breathing
379
00:12:59,821 --> 00:13:01,946
that you guys are wiped,
so why don't you head out?
380
00:13:02,023 --> 00:13:03,323
I'll rip all the rest
of this out.
381
00:13:03,325 --> 00:13:04,491
We'll clean it up
when you come back.
382
00:13:04,567 --> 00:13:05,617
I'll have some options
for you.
383
00:13:05,693 --> 00:13:06,826
-Thank you.
-Thank you so much.
384
00:13:06,828 --> 00:13:07,952
All right.
Thank you, guys.
385
00:13:08,029 --> 00:13:09,770
[Ginger] That was amazing.
386
00:13:09,772 --> 00:13:11,915
[Jonathan] It's time to hono
Alex's grandfather's memory
387
00:13:11,917 --> 00:13:15,126
by transforming this space
for the next generation.
388
00:13:15,128 --> 00:13:17,921
The cramped cave for a kitch
has been obliterated
389
00:13:17,964 --> 00:13:21,800
so we can make way for a new
fresh, and functional layout
390
00:13:21,802 --> 00:13:24,219
We're still working
on our design options.
391
00:13:24,221 --> 00:13:27,013
But we do know that Alex
and Ginger wanted the big wa
392
00:13:27,015 --> 00:13:28,723
dividing the kitchen
and living room removed.
393
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,457
It's gone.
394
00:13:30,459 --> 00:13:33,269
And in its place are tempora
walls so we can prepare
395
00:13:33,271 --> 00:13:36,648
to receive a massive beam
to carry the heavy weight
of the roof.
396
00:13:36,650 --> 00:13:38,316
This will give us
that open concept
397
00:13:38,318 --> 00:13:40,610
without a load bearing wall
398
00:13:40,612 --> 00:13:42,695
Deep footings will be
needed to support the beam
399
00:13:42,772 --> 00:13:44,989
and its posts,
so we have to jackhammer
400
00:13:45,066 --> 00:13:47,826
through the existing slab
to make holes deep enough
401
00:13:47,828 --> 00:13:49,494
for all the concrete needed
402
00:13:49,496 --> 00:13:51,412
Now we have to wait
for them to cure.
403
00:13:56,962 --> 00:13:58,411
[Drew] All right.
404
00:13:58,413 --> 00:14:00,463
I'm excited for you guys
because I'm going to take you
405
00:14:00,507 --> 00:14:01,714
to a hotel for inspiration.
406
00:14:01,716 --> 00:14:03,132
Oh, my gosh.
That's amazing.
407
00:14:03,176 --> 00:14:05,051
I'm so excited.
This is super cool.
408
00:14:05,128 --> 00:14:06,511
Just so you know,
whenever Jonathan and I
409
00:14:06,513 --> 00:14:08,596
are looking for inspiration,
we usually go to hotels
410
00:14:08,673 --> 00:14:09,556
or other spots,
not just houses.
411
00:14:09,632 --> 00:14:11,808
Really? Okay.
412
00:14:11,810 --> 00:14:13,810
[Drew]
This is the perfect place
to be inspired.
413
00:14:13,854 --> 00:14:15,520
I mean, Jimi Hendrix
has been here.
414
00:14:15,522 --> 00:14:18,231
If you're a guitar aficionado,
that's pretty cool.
415
00:14:18,233 --> 00:14:20,066
They said their style
was bright and happy,
416
00:14:20,068 --> 00:14:22,402
so I'm hoping a colorful,
modern, bohemian vibe
417
00:14:22,404 --> 00:14:23,677
will speak to them.
418
00:14:23,755 --> 00:14:26,072
So this cafe and hotel
is perfect for that,
419
00:14:26,074 --> 00:14:28,950
especially when it comes
to displaying guitars.
420
00:14:28,952 --> 00:14:30,535
Come on in.
Oh, my gosh.
421
00:14:30,537 --> 00:14:31,828
[Ginger] Oh, cool.
422
00:14:31,830 --> 00:14:33,496
[Drew]
Anything catch your eye?
423
00:14:33,540 --> 00:14:34,155
[Alex] Well,
I'm a huge fan of this.
424
00:14:34,157 --> 00:14:36,265
I love the wall.
425
00:14:36,267 --> 00:14:39,377
[Ginger] This is awesome.
I am so tired of seeing
those guitars on the floor.
426
00:14:39,379 --> 00:14:41,379
I've hung my guitars as well
because it's something
427
00:14:41,381 --> 00:14:42,881
exciting to be able to see it
up on the wall
428
00:14:42,957 --> 00:14:44,674
instead of just down
on the floor.
429
00:14:44,718 --> 00:14:46,634
I also think, you know, five,
six,
430
00:14:46,636 --> 00:14:50,221
that's a good amount
of guitars to display
instead of 500.
431
00:14:50,256 --> 00:14:51,705
-Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
-Yeah.
432
00:14:51,783 --> 00:14:53,892
We'll find a way to make it
look absolutely stunning.
433
00:14:53,894 --> 00:14:56,853
And we want to do it in a way,
too, that is not making that
the guitar storage room.
434
00:14:56,855 --> 00:14:58,438
-Absolutely.
-It will be your beautiful
living room.
435
00:14:58,440 --> 00:14:59,880
Awesome.
436
00:14:59,882 --> 00:15:01,474
And also,
if you look down here,
look at the seating,
437
00:15:01,476 --> 00:15:03,735
look all the different choices
for color,
even the light fixtures.
438
00:15:03,737 --> 00:15:05,570
[Drew] It's almost an
eclectic feel of the lights.
439
00:15:05,572 --> 00:15:06,613
-[Ginger] Uh-huh.
-[Alex] Yeah.
440
00:15:06,615 --> 00:15:08,281
I just love how funky it is.
441
00:15:08,283 --> 00:15:10,325
I love that
there's color in here.
442
00:15:10,327 --> 00:15:12,118
[Alex] We certainly want to
pop out the colors
443
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,828
and bring more colors
to our house.
444
00:15:13,830 --> 00:15:15,747
I feel like that
is a little bit...
445
00:15:15,823 --> 00:15:17,749
-Not your vibe.
-It's a little bit much.
446
00:15:17,825 --> 00:15:19,876
So here's a question then,
if you look at
even like the sofa,
447
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,128
are you thinking maybe more,
you know,
448
00:15:22,130 --> 00:15:24,088
neutral solids
for the larger pieces
449
00:15:24,090 --> 00:15:26,466
and then have the color
in your accents like pillows
and throws?
450
00:15:26,468 --> 00:15:28,426
-I think so.
-We want that energy for sure.
451
00:15:28,503 --> 00:15:30,153
-Right.
-Absolutely. Yeah.
452
00:15:30,155 --> 00:15:33,014
Commercial spaces can get away
with a lot of extra boldness.
453
00:15:33,016 --> 00:15:34,974
We can just take
a few of these elements
454
00:15:34,976 --> 00:15:36,142
to bring into
their home design.
455
00:15:36,144 --> 00:15:37,510
We don't want to take
everything.
456
00:15:37,512 --> 00:15:40,939
Also, the dark countertops
with the black down here.
457
00:15:40,941 --> 00:15:42,982
What do you think of
that kind of a contrast?
458
00:15:43,059 --> 00:15:45,193
Um.
I don't love the dark.
459
00:15:45,195 --> 00:15:49,155
I think we're trying to
get away from that
brown and black feel.
460
00:15:49,157 --> 00:15:51,074
But I do really like
the movement in this.
461
00:15:51,076 --> 00:15:53,493
That veiny look gives it
some texture, which is cool.
462
00:15:53,495 --> 00:15:54,911
[Drew] But how
about for the cabinets?
463
00:15:54,913 --> 00:15:56,362
What are some colors
that you like?
464
00:15:56,364 --> 00:15:58,831
I know that my grandma
really loved blues and greens.
465
00:15:58,833 --> 00:16:00,208
And so whenever
I actually see
466
00:16:00,210 --> 00:16:01,834
blues and greens,
I do think of her.
467
00:16:01,836 --> 00:16:03,962
I mean, we can go somewhere in
that blues and greens there.
468
00:16:03,964 --> 00:16:05,688
I think that'll be
really classy.
469
00:16:05,690 --> 00:16:07,298
-It'll look beautiful,
-especially with a light top.
Yeah.
470
00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:08,466
It'll freshen up
the whole space.
471
00:16:08,468 --> 00:16:09,592
-Yeah, yeah.
-Yeah.
472
00:16:09,594 --> 00:16:11,618
So here's a question.
473
00:16:11,620 --> 00:16:13,388
If you want something
that's nice and light
but a little bit different.
474
00:16:13,464 --> 00:16:15,047
What about a butcher block?
475
00:16:15,049 --> 00:16:17,058
'Cause I know
you like the idea
of the higher countertop
476
00:16:17,135 --> 00:16:18,625
so the dogs aren't jumping up.
477
00:16:18,627 --> 00:16:21,312
We could do a nice light stone
for your main countertop.
478
00:16:21,389 --> 00:16:22,981
And then for the upper area,
that bar part,
479
00:16:23,057 --> 00:16:24,707
we could do a butcher block.
480
00:16:24,709 --> 00:16:26,067
-[Ginger] That might be
on kind of cool.
-[Alex] Yeah.
481
00:16:26,069 --> 00:16:28,528
What do you think of
a lighter wood tone?
482
00:16:28,563 --> 00:16:29,636
I think we'd be open
to mixing and matching.
483
00:16:29,638 --> 00:16:31,214
I think that could be
really fun.
484
00:16:31,216 --> 00:16:33,324
[Jonathan] Speaking of that,
upstairs here is a much better
485
00:16:33,326 --> 00:16:35,618
match for what you could have,
especially in your backyard.
486
00:16:35,662 --> 00:16:36,786
-[Alex] Awesome.
-[Ginger] Okay.
487
00:16:36,830 --> 00:16:39,247
Come in. Join.
Grab a seat.
488
00:16:39,249 --> 00:16:40,832
In fact, grab a lay,
not a seat.
489
00:16:40,834 --> 00:16:42,250
Oh, wow.
490
00:16:42,252 --> 00:16:44,794
Obviously, you're not
going to quite do this.
491
00:16:44,796 --> 00:16:47,505
-[Alex] Right.
-Like, gigantic sofas outside.
492
00:16:47,507 --> 00:16:50,133
But what do you think
of having some pops of color
493
00:16:50,135 --> 00:16:52,176
through some of the materials
that we have with your throws
494
00:16:52,253 --> 00:16:53,753
or even the chairs
and fabrics?
495
00:16:53,755 --> 00:16:56,889
[Ginger] Yeah.
The vibrancy of this is...
this is us.
496
00:16:56,891 --> 00:16:58,891
I really think that
something like this
497
00:16:58,893 --> 00:17:00,560
would bring so much life
to the backyard.
498
00:17:00,562 --> 00:17:01,761
You'll actually use it.
499
00:17:01,837 --> 00:17:02,854
This will make you enjoy
every part of it.
500
00:17:02,856 --> 00:17:04,247
-[Alex] Right. Yeah.
-Exactly.
501
00:17:04,249 --> 00:17:05,940
-Increase the functionality
of it.
-Yeah.
502
00:17:06,017 --> 00:17:08,735
And just like the lights
and the colors
on the umbrella,
503
00:17:08,737 --> 00:17:10,862
like, it just instantly
brings you in.
504
00:17:10,938 --> 00:17:12,104
And this is a place
you want to be.
505
00:17:12,106 --> 00:17:13,573
You'll have what you need
inside and out.
506
00:17:13,575 --> 00:17:14,782
It's going to be a place for
you just be proud
507
00:17:14,784 --> 00:17:16,759
to bring family
and friends over.
508
00:17:16,761 --> 00:17:18,703
It's gonna be something
as well your grandpa
would be pretty proud of.
509
00:17:18,780 --> 00:17:19,746
-Oh, yeah.
-That's awesome.
510
00:17:19,748 --> 00:17:20,955
-Yeah.
-He would love that.
511
00:17:20,957 --> 00:17:22,598
He would be really
excited about that.
512
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:23,958
This is really good.
All the information
you gave me.
513
00:17:24,035 --> 00:17:25,359
Is going to be
going to Jonathan,
514
00:17:25,361 --> 00:17:27,003
and he's gonna give us
a couple of great options.
515
00:17:27,005 --> 00:17:28,421
-Awesome.
-That's fantastic.
516
00:17:33,344 --> 00:17:34,502
And I thought if I take them
really bold
517
00:17:34,504 --> 00:17:36,054
and then bring them back
to something
518
00:17:36,056 --> 00:17:39,015
that's more realistic
for a home,
this is what we get.
519
00:17:39,017 --> 00:17:43,519
I'm going out on a limb
and guessing they like pattern
and texture.
520
00:17:43,521 --> 00:17:45,146
A little pattern,
a little texture.
521
00:17:45,148 --> 00:17:47,106
They do like blue.
They like greens.
522
00:17:47,108 --> 00:17:49,275
Alex says those colors
remind him of his grandmother.
523
00:17:49,277 --> 00:17:51,903
It's a great way to honor her
and give them what they love.
524
00:17:51,905 --> 00:17:53,237
They like a little bit
of personality,
525
00:17:53,314 --> 00:17:54,655
but nothing crazy.
526
00:17:54,732 --> 00:17:56,115
Ginger says she likes color.
527
00:17:56,117 --> 00:17:57,241
Alex wanted to, you know,
528
00:17:57,243 --> 00:17:59,302
freshen things
up a little bit.
529
00:17:59,304 --> 00:18:01,788
Their house did not reflect
their upbeat personalities
at all.
530
00:18:01,864 --> 00:18:03,915
They seem drawn to
colorful accents
531
00:18:03,917 --> 00:18:07,543
and natural materials,
kind of a light, transitional,
bohemian style.
532
00:18:07,587 --> 00:18:09,504
The only way we can make
that happen
533
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:10,922
is to get all the guitars
off the floor.
534
00:18:10,998 --> 00:18:12,815
Uh-huh.
535
00:18:12,817 --> 00:18:14,550
The feature wall
alone for the guitars
is going to be amazing,
536
00:18:14,594 --> 00:18:16,385
but I want to focus in
on the kitchen
537
00:18:16,387 --> 00:18:18,096
and on that
front entry detail.
538
00:18:18,098 --> 00:18:19,989
Let's start at
the front door then.
539
00:18:19,991 --> 00:18:22,266
Obviously, you grab these
because they like
a little bit of texture.
540
00:18:22,268 --> 00:18:24,268
They do like
a little bit of texture,
a little bit of pattern.
541
00:18:24,270 --> 00:18:25,436
These are the color tones,
542
00:18:25,438 --> 00:18:27,421
something in this variety
that they like.
543
00:18:27,423 --> 00:18:30,399
Yeah, almost like grass cloth,
just adding a little texture
to the wall.
544
00:18:30,443 --> 00:18:32,985
Yeah, natural, clean,
a little eclectic,
545
00:18:33,062 --> 00:18:34,195
a touch of boho on the walls.
546
00:18:34,197 --> 00:18:35,905
I would love to see
the hardwood
547
00:18:35,907 --> 00:18:37,740
just connect all the way
through the space.
548
00:18:37,742 --> 00:18:38,866
[Drew] Okay.
I'm good with that.
549
00:18:38,868 --> 00:18:40,118
-This one?
-Yeah, I like that.
550
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:41,619
Because it's not too,
too dark,
551
00:18:41,696 --> 00:18:44,580
but it's just got this
really interesting
grain to it.
552
00:18:44,582 --> 00:18:46,682
I also love this
is very durable.
553
00:18:46,684 --> 00:18:48,626
Especially if you have pets
running around,
you need something like this.
554
00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:49,710
They love wood tones.
555
00:18:49,712 --> 00:18:51,003
In fact, I think
we don't need to
556
00:18:51,005 --> 00:18:52,538
just keep the wood tones
to the floors.
557
00:18:52,540 --> 00:18:54,298
-I think we could do
a butcher block.
-I love that.
558
00:18:54,375 --> 00:18:56,217
So if we have this running
through the house,
559
00:18:56,219 --> 00:18:58,803
why don't we talk about
the backsplash, the kitchen?
560
00:18:58,805 --> 00:19:01,389
Well, if they want to do
a little bit of color
in there,
561
00:19:01,391 --> 00:19:02,974
that will be the most
stark contrast
562
00:19:02,976 --> 00:19:04,291
to what was there before.
563
00:19:04,369 --> 00:19:06,644
On three, to your favorite.
One, two, three.
564
00:19:06,721 --> 00:19:08,128
-You want to go darker?
-Yeah.
565
00:19:08,206 --> 00:19:09,872
-I think it would look great.
-I'm good with that.
566
00:19:09,874 --> 00:19:12,150
These were my options that
I was bringing
for the backsplash.
567
00:19:12,152 --> 00:19:14,569
I thought that
something in here
could be nice.
568
00:19:14,571 --> 00:19:16,988
Yeah, they're fun.
There's some
playfulness to their shape.
569
00:19:16,990 --> 00:19:19,031
So then you start to see
all of this come together,
570
00:19:19,033 --> 00:19:20,575
and I think it plays nice.
571
00:19:20,577 --> 00:19:22,218
This feels doable.
572
00:19:22,220 --> 00:19:24,787
Just remember,
we have the backyard
to think about, too.
573
00:19:24,789 --> 00:19:26,247
Let me just ask
one favor, though.
574
00:19:26,249 --> 00:19:28,166
When we look at
designing the backyard,
575
00:19:28,168 --> 00:19:30,835
can we not do what you did
to our place in Vegas
576
00:19:30,912 --> 00:19:32,670
where you try to give the dogs
577
00:19:32,672 --> 00:19:35,089
like 80% of the backyard
and I only had 20%?
578
00:19:35,091 --> 00:19:37,884
Let's be honest,
any dog person will agree,
579
00:19:37,886 --> 00:19:39,510
you got to give
the doggies the space.
580
00:19:39,512 --> 00:19:41,179
Anyway, it's going to be
a great backyard.
581
00:19:41,181 --> 00:19:42,597
And I think everything
we have here is
582
00:19:42,599 --> 00:19:43,890
speaking to their style.
583
00:19:43,966 --> 00:19:45,141
Can I get a bow-wow?
584
00:19:45,143 --> 00:19:46,517
Bow-wow!
585
00:19:47,812 --> 00:19:49,729
-We're lame.
-[Jonathan] I know.
586
00:19:49,731 --> 00:19:51,731
The backyard is especially
important for Ginger,
587
00:19:51,807 --> 00:19:54,233
who can't wait to share her
West Coast lifestyle
588
00:19:54,235 --> 00:19:56,736
with her East Coast family
when they come to visit.
589
00:19:56,812 --> 00:19:59,238
So we need to get
the design options just righ
590
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,406
-After you.
-[Alex] All right.
591
00:20:00,483 --> 00:20:01,949
[Ginger] Okay.
592
00:20:01,951 --> 00:20:03,826
-Oh, my gosh.
-Oh, my gosh.
593
00:20:03,828 --> 00:20:05,036
This is...
594
00:20:10,376 --> 00:20:12,001
-Oh, my gosh.
-Oh, my gosh.
595
00:20:12,003 --> 00:20:13,794
This is...
596
00:20:13,796 --> 00:20:15,546
-Wow.
-Wow.
597
00:20:15,623 --> 00:20:17,381
[Jonathan] What happened
to our house?
598
00:20:17,458 --> 00:20:19,425
Look at the sight line.
599
00:20:19,427 --> 00:20:23,387
For the first time in history,
you can see everything.
600
00:20:23,464 --> 00:20:24,639
-It's amazing.
-It's incredible.
601
00:20:24,641 --> 00:20:25,723
It's amazing.
And it feels so big.
602
00:20:25,725 --> 00:20:27,374
-It's a big space.
-[Jonathan] Yeah.
603
00:20:27,452 --> 00:20:28,726
[Ginger] And I always
felt like it was really smal
604
00:20:28,803 --> 00:20:30,119
[Jonathan]
It's a big, big house.
605
00:20:30,121 --> 00:20:32,104
But the way it was laid out,
it was so tight.
606
00:20:32,181 --> 00:20:34,190
Why don't we see
if Drew's out back
607
00:20:34,192 --> 00:20:35,316
and talk through some options?
608
00:20:35,351 --> 00:20:36,725
-Awesome.
-Sure.
609
00:20:41,532 --> 00:20:43,491
-Hey!
-At least someone's
hard at work.
610
00:20:43,526 --> 00:20:45,952
-How's it going?
-So we have two
very excited people.
611
00:20:46,028 --> 00:20:47,954
So you got to tell me
who reacted bigger.
612
00:20:48,030 --> 00:20:50,456
We're just, like,
speechless, honestly.
613
00:20:50,458 --> 00:20:53,084
-Like, so much space.
-Yeah, it's unreal.
614
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,920
I mean, you've been
used to this space one way
for so long,
615
00:20:55,922 --> 00:20:58,005
and I know this is an exciting
thing just to bring.
616
00:20:58,007 --> 00:21:00,466
You're keeping the memories,
but you're bringing
some fresh life into it.
617
00:21:00,543 --> 00:21:01,926
Yeah. Absolutely.
618
00:21:01,928 --> 00:21:02,969
Let's dive in.
619
00:21:03,045 --> 00:21:05,054
So, option one.
620
00:21:06,182 --> 00:21:08,599
Imagine having that wall
completely gone
621
00:21:08,601 --> 00:21:11,102
between the front entry
and kitchen.
622
00:21:11,104 --> 00:21:12,812
We would build out
an entry closet
623
00:21:12,888 --> 00:21:16,274
and give you the most
incredible open floor plan
624
00:21:16,276 --> 00:21:18,359
with a proper dining area,
625
00:21:18,436 --> 00:21:19,652
with a brand-new kitchen
626
00:21:19,654 --> 00:21:21,821
weaving around
a big peninsula.
627
00:21:21,823 --> 00:21:23,864
We'd even extend the wall
of the kitchen
628
00:21:23,866 --> 00:21:25,449
so you'd get
even more storage,
629
00:21:25,526 --> 00:21:27,676
much more functional
for cooking,
630
00:21:27,678 --> 00:21:31,163
plus a raised bar counterto
to keep the dogs
from eating your food.
631
00:21:32,834 --> 00:21:35,376
Even in that living room,
now you'll have
632
00:21:35,453 --> 00:21:37,420
a completely
re-faced fireplace
633
00:21:37,422 --> 00:21:40,047
with built in storage
on either side.
634
00:21:40,049 --> 00:21:43,801
It'll be warm and welcoming
with a big comfy sofa.
635
00:21:43,803 --> 00:21:46,721
Great for hanging out
and playing music
all night long.
636
00:21:46,797 --> 00:21:49,348
Speaking of which,
we'll give you a formal plac
637
00:21:49,350 --> 00:21:53,352
to hang your guitars
instead of having them
scattered all over the floor
638
00:21:53,354 --> 00:21:55,563
They'll look like
purposeful pieces of art
639
00:21:55,565 --> 00:21:58,733
with a shelf above
for displaying
other nice memories.
640
00:21:58,809 --> 00:22:01,444
In your backyard,
we would take out
that crazy hedge
641
00:22:01,446 --> 00:22:04,905
and put in lots of grass
that's kept green with a new
642
00:22:04,907 --> 00:22:07,283
efficient, water conserving
irrigation system
643
00:22:07,327 --> 00:22:10,494
with a fully functional
dog wash station
big enough for two dogs.
644
00:22:10,496 --> 00:22:12,580
And on top of that, though,
you need a space to hang out.
645
00:22:12,656 --> 00:22:14,573
-Yeah.
-So you have
a great covered area.
646
00:22:14,575 --> 00:22:16,592
But we'll make that
something that
you're excited to come out t
647
00:22:16,594 --> 00:22:18,461
-[Ginger] Yeah.
-[Jonathan] Yeah, you asked
for bells and whistles.
648
00:22:18,463 --> 00:22:20,004
This gives you all the bell
and whistles
649
00:22:20,006 --> 00:22:21,797
plus a really
great space outside.
650
00:22:21,841 --> 00:22:23,257
I mean,
that sounds incredible.
651
00:22:23,259 --> 00:22:25,051
I don't know how it can
get much better than that.
652
00:22:25,053 --> 00:22:26,427
I'm out here all the time.
653
00:22:26,504 --> 00:22:28,971
Like, coming from snow coming
out to California,
654
00:22:28,973 --> 00:22:30,222
I love being outside.
655
00:22:30,299 --> 00:22:32,266
So Option 1 was 182,000
656
00:22:32,268 --> 00:22:35,644
came in at eight weeks,
would give you
an incredible inside space.
657
00:22:35,646 --> 00:22:37,980
Incredible outside space.
658
00:22:37,982 --> 00:22:40,775
Option two, though, saves you
a little bit of cheddar
659
00:22:40,851 --> 00:22:43,527
and gives you
something incredible
where you store the cheddar.
660
00:22:45,323 --> 00:22:46,989
You would not get
the dog bath
661
00:22:47,033 --> 00:22:48,949
or the grass
irrigation system.
662
00:22:49,026 --> 00:22:51,202
We'd still completely
make over your overgrown yard
663
00:22:51,278 --> 00:22:53,204
and make it beautiful.
664
00:22:53,206 --> 00:22:56,791
However, inside,
instead of extending
the wall and peninsula,
665
00:22:56,793 --> 00:22:59,043
we would give you
the maximum open concept
666
00:22:59,045 --> 00:23:00,878
with sightlines
you've always wanted
667
00:23:00,955 --> 00:23:04,173
with a completely detached,
massive island,
668
00:23:04,175 --> 00:23:06,884
double the size of
the peninsula in option one
669
00:23:06,886 --> 00:23:08,552
It'll be so perfect
for hosting
670
00:23:08,554 --> 00:23:11,097
and entertaining big groups
of family and friends.
671
00:23:11,099 --> 00:23:12,473
[Ginger] I mean,
that sounds incredible.
672
00:23:12,550 --> 00:23:15,184
[Jonathan] Option two
save you some money,
673
00:23:15,186 --> 00:23:19,063
comes in lower at $175,000
and I can get it done faster.
674
00:23:19,065 --> 00:23:20,231
It'll be seven weeks.
675
00:23:20,307 --> 00:23:21,565
Totally up to you guys.
676
00:23:21,642 --> 00:23:23,734
-It's tough, tough decisions.
-It is hard.
677
00:23:23,736 --> 00:23:26,862
I mean, I think either way
would be amazing.
678
00:23:26,864 --> 00:23:28,188
How cool would it be
to have a big island
679
00:23:28,265 --> 00:23:29,907
and breakfast bar seating
all the way across?
680
00:23:29,909 --> 00:23:31,450
Well, I mean,
I think it would just be
681
00:23:31,452 --> 00:23:33,285
great to have an area
to put stuff out.
682
00:23:33,287 --> 00:23:34,912
I mean, that was always
a thing for me
683
00:23:34,914 --> 00:23:36,372
in the kitchen is
where do I put things?
684
00:23:36,374 --> 00:23:37,873
You know,
if we want to entertain,
685
00:23:37,875 --> 00:23:39,959
put out d'oeuvres
and food and things like.
686
00:23:39,961 --> 00:23:41,252
I hear a but coming.
687
00:23:41,254 --> 00:23:43,712
But I don't know.
688
00:23:43,714 --> 00:23:45,381
I'm also, you know,
thinking about the flow.
689
00:23:45,383 --> 00:23:46,841
I don't know
if I really like the idea
690
00:23:46,843 --> 00:23:49,051
of it being a completely
open concept.
691
00:23:49,053 --> 00:23:52,054
I think, in the long term,
too, when we think about
692
00:23:52,098 --> 00:23:53,597
designing this house,
it's not just for us,
693
00:23:53,674 --> 00:23:54,473
it's also for the dogs.
694
00:23:54,475 --> 00:23:55,933
Yeah.
695
00:23:55,935 --> 00:23:58,936
And option one sounds
a lot more dog friendly.
696
00:23:59,013 --> 00:24:01,480
So I feel you've made
your decision.
697
00:24:01,557 --> 00:24:03,023
I mean, when it
comes down to it, like,
698
00:24:03,025 --> 00:24:04,608
this is to make
our dream home,
699
00:24:04,685 --> 00:24:06,193
this is to
make our forever home.
700
00:24:06,195 --> 00:24:07,945
-So it's option...
-[Both] One.
701
00:24:07,947 --> 00:24:08,904
[Drew] One. All right.
702
00:24:08,906 --> 00:24:11,657
Hey.
Using that dog bath.
703
00:24:11,659 --> 00:24:13,075
Are you gonna put
an island out here?
704
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,452
-Yeah.
-And a dog thing.
705
00:24:14,454 --> 00:24:15,953
Well,
everything is for the pups.
706
00:24:16,030 --> 00:24:17,496
We'll give them an island.
We'll give them a wash.
707
00:24:17,498 --> 00:24:19,457
You're gonna get the bells
and whistles in every area.
708
00:24:19,459 --> 00:24:21,333
You're gonna have
all the things
you've been asking for,
709
00:24:21,335 --> 00:24:23,169
and it's gonna change the way
you live in this home.
710
00:24:23,171 --> 00:24:24,920
It's gonna change the way
the pups live in this home.
711
00:24:24,922 --> 00:24:26,455
-Yeah, absolutely. So excited.
-Absolutely.
712
00:24:26,457 --> 00:24:28,549
And the great thing is,
now that you made a decision
713
00:24:28,626 --> 00:24:30,342
'cause now Drew can get back
to work making the temp wall.
714
00:24:30,419 --> 00:24:32,178
-All right.
-Yes, and you guys
can get out of here.
715
00:24:32,180 --> 00:24:33,378
You won't see it again
until it's done.
716
00:24:33,380 --> 00:24:35,514
-Ah, okay! Thank you, guys.
-All right.
717
00:24:44,275 --> 00:24:47,193
[Jonathan] With the design
option chosen,
we are full speed ahead.
718
00:24:47,195 --> 00:24:49,361
The concrete post footings
have hardened
719
00:24:49,363 --> 00:24:51,697
and are ready to bear
the weight of the heavy bea
720
00:24:51,699 --> 00:24:53,616
that we have
for our open concept.
721
00:24:53,618 --> 00:24:56,452
It's an exciting day,
but not an easy one.
722
00:24:56,454 --> 00:24:58,621
-Gus...
-Gus, to your left.
723
00:24:58,664 --> 00:24:59,914
Go to your left. There we go.
724
00:24:59,916 --> 00:25:01,957
All right.
725
00:25:02,001 --> 00:25:03,501
-All right. A little bit more.
-Yeah.
726
00:25:03,577 --> 00:25:05,127
One, two, three.
727
00:25:06,214 --> 00:25:07,630
Good.
728
00:25:09,967 --> 00:25:11,258
He's a beast.
729
00:25:11,260 --> 00:25:12,468
-How are you feeling?
-Good?
730
00:25:12,470 --> 00:25:13,677
We'll, see, this is the end.
731
00:25:13,679 --> 00:25:14,720
That's going to get heavy.
732
00:25:14,722 --> 00:25:16,305
One, two, three.
733
00:25:19,435 --> 00:25:21,076
One, two, three.
734
00:25:25,566 --> 00:25:29,151
Lifting up the last two inches
that you need to get it up.
735
00:25:29,153 --> 00:25:30,686
That is the hardest part.
736
00:25:30,688 --> 00:25:33,447
It's heavy, it's dangerous,
and it has to fit.
737
00:25:33,524 --> 00:25:35,015
Exactly.
738
00:25:35,017 --> 00:25:36,325
We don't want to lift
this up more than once.
739
00:25:36,327 --> 00:25:38,536
Ooh, nice.
740
00:25:39,497 --> 00:25:41,580
With the beam safely in plac
we can begin work
741
00:25:41,582 --> 00:25:43,374
on the front entry.
742
00:25:43,376 --> 00:25:45,501
We're replacing
the old rock garden
with a new closet,
743
00:25:45,503 --> 00:25:48,963
but the nearby furnace
has an intake vent
that needs to be moved.
744
00:25:49,039 --> 00:25:51,715
It would be very expensive
to move the furnace itself.
745
00:25:51,717 --> 00:25:54,385
So we need to work a new
vent location into the desig
746
00:25:54,387 --> 00:25:56,011
The only other option
is to cut
747
00:25:56,013 --> 00:25:57,221
a vent in the front
of the door.
748
00:25:57,223 --> 00:25:59,974
Thinking maybe
just cut of here, frame it.
749
00:25:59,976 --> 00:26:02,518
Oh, so you want to you want to
actually make this weird
750
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:03,811
little door even weirder.
751
00:26:03,887 --> 00:26:05,304
It's not ideal.
752
00:26:05,380 --> 00:26:08,524
But, you know,
that bottom part
has to be fixed.
753
00:26:08,526 --> 00:26:10,693
Can we do
an invisible door here?
754
00:26:10,695 --> 00:26:12,236
Yeah.
Without trim, without...
755
00:26:12,313 --> 00:26:13,988
Yeah like,
what if we were to do, like,
756
00:26:14,064 --> 00:26:16,490
a slat wall giving us
a little contour detail?
757
00:26:16,492 --> 00:26:19,660
But the inner part is a door
that opens with no handle.
758
00:26:19,662 --> 00:26:21,203
-We just push on it.
-Exactly. Yeah.
759
00:26:21,205 --> 00:26:22,496
Yeah, we can do that.
760
00:26:22,498 --> 00:26:24,707
We can use
those invisible hinges.
761
00:26:24,709 --> 00:26:26,141
Yeah, we can do that.
762
00:26:26,143 --> 00:26:28,085
Yeah, Let's look at that,
see if that's an option.
763
00:26:28,087 --> 00:26:30,087
And at least that goes away
and people can walk in
764
00:26:30,089 --> 00:26:33,549
and be focused on anything
other than
the weird little door.
765
00:26:33,551 --> 00:26:35,384
A big part
of the new kitchen design
766
00:26:35,386 --> 00:26:37,886
involves shifting
over the former entry wall
767
00:26:37,888 --> 00:26:41,515
to allow for more cabinets
and to extend
the overall kitchen length
768
00:26:41,517 --> 00:26:43,475
to accommodate
for the new peninsula.
769
00:26:43,477 --> 00:26:46,520
-Sweet!
-[Gus] Done. Easy peasy.
770
00:26:46,597 --> 00:26:48,689
We'll run some electrical,
board it up.
771
00:26:48,691 --> 00:26:51,066
Wall done. There you go.
772
00:26:51,068 --> 00:26:53,193
[Jonathan] We have a lot of
new shiny appliances
773
00:26:53,195 --> 00:26:55,279
and fixtures coming
for the design,
774
00:26:55,356 --> 00:26:58,198
so I want to make sure that
all those hidden utilities
servicing them
775
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,993
are just as updated
as the rest of the home.
776
00:27:00,995 --> 00:27:03,412
While the trades are busy
finishing up the interior,
777
00:27:03,414 --> 00:27:06,081
we can turn our attention
to that overgrown backyard
778
00:27:06,083 --> 00:27:08,792
that Ginger and Alex want
to reclaim for themselves
779
00:27:08,869 --> 00:27:09,960
and their two dogs.
780
00:27:09,962 --> 00:27:12,087
This is a monstrosity.
781
00:27:12,089 --> 00:27:14,131
One, two, three.
782
00:27:25,561 --> 00:27:27,019
We've got a bald spot.
783
00:27:29,482 --> 00:27:33,275
It's just a really tangled,
overgrown garden.
784
00:27:33,319 --> 00:27:36,278
We'll clear out all
the nonessential plants,
785
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:37,821
keep all the fruiting plants.
786
00:27:37,823 --> 00:27:38,989
Get them some green space.
787
00:27:38,991 --> 00:27:41,950
Get them some space
for the dogs to run.
788
00:27:41,952 --> 00:27:44,495
The ground is hard and dry,
so we need a jackhammer
789
00:27:44,497 --> 00:27:47,456
to bust it up to accommodat
the new water saving
790
00:27:47,458 --> 00:27:50,125
and efficient
irrigation system,
as well as the plumbing
791
00:27:50,127 --> 00:27:51,794
for the future dog wash area
792
00:27:51,796 --> 00:27:54,338
We're putting in lots of
natural grass for the dogs
793
00:27:54,340 --> 00:27:56,548
as it's better for drainage
and it also doesn't get
794
00:27:56,550 --> 00:27:59,551
quite as hot on little paws
as artificial turf.
795
00:27:59,628 --> 00:28:02,805
Most importantly,
they need a place to cool of
and get clean.
796
00:28:02,807 --> 00:28:04,848
The dogs are
getting their own throne.
797
00:28:04,925 --> 00:28:07,351
This will be built up
in a way where, you know,
798
00:28:07,428 --> 00:28:09,395
you can sit back here
doing the old...
799
00:28:09,471 --> 00:28:10,896
[mimics dogs barking]
800
00:28:12,358 --> 00:28:13,565
Now, this will be great.
Yeah.
801
00:28:13,567 --> 00:28:15,025
It'll be solid once
we build this out.
802
00:28:15,027 --> 00:28:16,527
Covered in the white tile.
803
00:28:16,529 --> 00:28:18,320
-Tile looks great.
-I love it.
804
00:28:18,322 --> 00:28:20,614
A little bit slick
for the surface,
805
00:28:20,616 --> 00:28:22,908
so we might want to look at
maybe like a mosaic
or something like that.
806
00:28:22,910 --> 00:28:24,184
[Gus] Okay.
807
00:28:24,186 --> 00:28:25,994
-Back wall comes up nice
and high.
-Yes.
808
00:28:25,996 --> 00:28:27,913
-That's where we've got
the hose and everything on.
-Yeah.
809
00:28:27,915 --> 00:28:30,290
We've got slightly
larger walls
on the sides,
810
00:28:30,292 --> 00:28:33,001
and then a lip just
on the front to keep
the water in.
811
00:28:33,003 --> 00:28:34,336
-Exactly.
-Okay.
812
00:28:34,338 --> 00:28:35,754
So it's going to be
high enough.
813
00:28:35,831 --> 00:28:37,423
So they don't have to bend
that much, you know,
814
00:28:37,425 --> 00:28:39,925
just to wash the dog.
815
00:28:39,927 --> 00:28:41,593
[Jonathan] When this is done
Ginger and Alex
816
00:28:41,595 --> 00:28:43,804
won't have to worry about
their dogs tracking dirt
817
00:28:43,806 --> 00:28:46,265
into their beautiful
forever home
from the backyard.
818
00:28:46,267 --> 00:28:49,226
This dog wash is gonna be
so stylish and functional,
819
00:28:49,303 --> 00:28:51,103
I may even have to bring
my dogs over here
820
00:28:51,105 --> 00:28:52,563
for a little scrub-a-dub-dub.
821
00:29:03,868 --> 00:29:05,159
Three generations
of Alex's family
822
00:29:05,161 --> 00:29:06,818
have lived in this house.
823
00:29:06,820 --> 00:29:09,705
So it's so important that
we get this renovation perfe
824
00:29:09,707 --> 00:29:12,750
so it keeps making memories
for generations to come.
825
00:29:12,826 --> 00:29:15,502
That's why I want
the new front door
that welcomes them
826
00:29:15,504 --> 00:29:17,254
to make
a great first impression.
827
00:29:17,256 --> 00:29:18,881
I actually love the fact
that you have
828
00:29:18,883 --> 00:29:20,632
these gorgeous linear lines.
829
00:29:20,634 --> 00:29:23,886
The door ties into
the mid-century vibes
of the home.
830
00:29:23,888 --> 00:29:26,764
But this is way more secure,
way more energy efficient.
831
00:29:26,766 --> 00:29:28,599
But let's stick it in
and just see the look of this.
832
00:29:28,675 --> 00:29:30,017
-[Gus] Does it fit?
-Yeah.
833
00:29:30,019 --> 00:29:32,394
-[Gus] Cool.
-Okay, cool.
834
00:29:32,396 --> 00:29:35,647
The old fireplace
was imposing and underused.
835
00:29:35,724 --> 00:29:38,358
I see Alex and Ginger's fami
curling up around here
836
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:39,777
for many holidays.
837
00:29:39,779 --> 00:29:42,112
So this focal point
also needs a facelift.
838
00:29:42,114 --> 00:29:44,281
We wanted to go
with kind of like
an artisanal look,
839
00:29:44,358 --> 00:29:45,616
something that feels
handcrafted.
840
00:29:45,692 --> 00:29:48,786
And so I love the idea
of doing the square tiles.
841
00:29:48,821 --> 00:29:51,121
We could just start our tile
because if you're going to
do a wood mantle,
842
00:29:51,198 --> 00:29:52,748
we can just stick it
right on top, so...
843
00:29:52,792 --> 00:29:55,250
-Yeah. We can do that.
-Okay, let's do it.
844
00:30:02,301 --> 00:30:05,636
Alex and Ginger want to
pass this home
on to their future family.
845
00:30:05,712 --> 00:30:08,388
But they have
two very active big dogs,
846
00:30:08,465 --> 00:30:10,307
so they need
a very durable floor.
847
00:30:11,852 --> 00:30:14,186
Boom.
I do love that this stuff...
848
00:30:14,263 --> 00:30:15,562
I mean,
feel the weight of that.
849
00:30:15,639 --> 00:30:16,980
It's so, so good.
850
00:30:16,982 --> 00:30:19,817
And they've got
a really good quality pad
851
00:30:19,819 --> 00:30:23,487
already attached underneath,
so we can
drop this right down,
852
00:30:23,489 --> 00:30:26,114
clean, quick install,
and it just sits.
853
00:30:26,116 --> 00:30:28,450
If the flooring is cheaper,
it's too light.
854
00:30:28,452 --> 00:30:31,161
I find that you can kind of
see it buckling up a little.
855
00:30:31,238 --> 00:30:33,163
-This is gonna sit nice
and flat.
-Yes.
856
00:30:33,165 --> 00:30:35,916
So when dogs are spilling
and thrashing
and who knows what,
857
00:30:35,993 --> 00:30:36,917
it'll be easy to clean up.
858
00:30:36,919 --> 00:30:38,560
Wipe down.
859
00:30:38,562 --> 00:30:40,963
These floors are
way more durable
than actual hardwood.
860
00:30:40,965 --> 00:30:42,589
Oh, they are.
Even for the...
861
00:30:42,591 --> 00:30:44,007
you know, the dog's nails,
862
00:30:44,084 --> 00:30:45,884
it's not going to
put a scratch on it.
863
00:30:45,886 --> 00:30:47,845
-Yeah.
-Want to grab another long
one from there?
864
00:30:51,141 --> 00:30:54,017
The updated wood look
of our luxury vinyl
865
00:30:54,019 --> 00:30:56,645
will be a beautiful match
with our new kitchen design
866
00:30:56,689 --> 00:30:58,889
Now that we have
a level surface,
867
00:30:58,891 --> 00:31:02,526
we can start laying out
our cabinets on the new
and spacious floor plan.
868
00:31:02,528 --> 00:31:04,987
Okay, so I like this.
869
00:31:04,989 --> 00:31:07,865
I think this is gonna do it.
This will be
a game changer for them.
870
00:31:07,867 --> 00:31:11,326
Alex and Ginger chose to
go with a peninsula
instead of an island.
871
00:31:11,370 --> 00:31:13,287
And I think
it's gonna look amazing.
872
00:31:13,289 --> 00:31:15,539
-All right.
-Okay.
873
00:31:15,541 --> 00:31:18,542
[Jonathan]
The kitchen is getting an
extra high butcher block to
874
00:31:18,544 --> 00:31:20,419
to make sure that Alex
and Ginger's big dogs
875
00:31:20,495 --> 00:31:22,921
don't feast like kings
on people food.
876
00:31:22,923 --> 00:31:26,466
It's not often these days
I find that we get someone
877
00:31:26,468 --> 00:31:29,845
who requests having the raised
breakfast bar,
878
00:31:29,847 --> 00:31:31,889
so there's splitting up
the height.
879
00:31:31,891 --> 00:31:34,391
This is important to them
so the dogs aren't jumping up
on their eating area.
880
00:31:34,393 --> 00:31:37,311
Oh, by the way,
they just dropped these off.
881
00:31:37,313 --> 00:31:38,687
Captures the boho vibe.
882
00:31:38,689 --> 00:31:40,230
Clean lines,
some sparkle against
883
00:31:40,232 --> 00:31:41,748
the blue and green cabinets.
884
00:31:41,750 --> 00:31:43,483
You know, when you have this,
you've got the two-tone
885
00:31:43,518 --> 00:31:45,527
with the counters
and then the butcher block.
886
00:31:45,529 --> 00:31:48,572
And obviously,
we'll seal the butcher block
so it's food safe.
887
00:31:48,574 --> 00:31:50,741
Everything in here
all of a sudden
888
00:31:50,743 --> 00:31:52,659
is completely transformed.
889
00:31:52,661 --> 00:31:54,828
It is a kitchen with style.
890
00:31:54,830 --> 00:31:56,914
Speaking of stylish,
our full-service
891
00:31:56,990 --> 00:31:59,875
dog wash station
is really taking shape.
892
00:31:59,877 --> 00:32:01,543
It's big enough to
wash two dogs at once
893
00:32:01,587 --> 00:32:03,378
and will really help
keep all the dirt
894
00:32:03,380 --> 00:32:05,213
out on the new grass
where it belongs.
895
00:32:05,257 --> 00:32:07,841
In the living room,
the newly tiled fireplace
896
00:32:07,918 --> 00:32:10,844
is getting highlighted
with a stunning
wood beam mantel.
897
00:32:10,921 --> 00:32:12,137
I always love this.
898
00:32:12,139 --> 00:32:13,931
It's like trying
on a new pair of shoes.
899
00:32:14,007 --> 00:32:16,141
Yeah well, you definitely
have a lot of shoes.
900
00:32:16,259 --> 00:32:17,893
I've done this many a time.
901
00:32:17,895 --> 00:32:19,519
[Jonathan]
Talk about an upgrade.
902
00:32:19,596 --> 00:32:21,346
Beautiful redwood mantel.
903
00:32:21,348 --> 00:32:24,441
But all of this comes down
to the stain,
and if we get it right.
904
00:32:24,443 --> 00:32:26,360
-Mm-hmm.
-[Jonathan] Voila.
905
00:32:26,362 --> 00:32:28,528
So to offset the redness
in the wood,
906
00:32:28,530 --> 00:32:31,114
I wanted to go
a little bit darker,
but it shouldn't be too dark.
907
00:32:31,116 --> 00:32:34,660
It should kind of fall to
like a medium dark tone.
908
00:32:34,662 --> 00:32:36,178
What do you think?
909
00:32:36,180 --> 00:32:38,205
Let's see when we wipe it
'cause it'll lighten a hair
910
00:32:38,281 --> 00:32:39,498
when we wipe it.
911
00:32:39,574 --> 00:32:41,041
Yeah,
I think that looks good.
912
00:32:41,118 --> 00:32:42,200
-It does look good. Yeah.
-Yeah.
913
00:32:42,202 --> 00:32:43,502
It'll actually bring
the wood grain out
914
00:32:43,578 --> 00:32:45,671
even more than what you see
right now on here.
915
00:32:45,673 --> 00:32:48,590
Would you like to stop playing
with the little piece of wood
916
00:32:48,634 --> 00:32:49,883
and go to the big guy?
917
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,385
Yes, I would.
Let's take it off.
918
00:32:51,387 --> 00:32:53,044
W-O-O-D.
919
00:32:56,558 --> 00:32:58,558
[Jonathan] Alex's grandfathe
would have been thrilled
920
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,894
to see how much effort
is being made
921
00:33:00,971 --> 00:33:02,771
to grant his wish
of seeing this family home
922
00:33:02,815 --> 00:33:05,399
transformed for
the next generation.
923
00:33:05,401 --> 00:33:07,317
The rest of the cabinets
are getting assembled,
924
00:33:07,394 --> 00:33:08,893
sanded, and painted,
925
00:33:08,970 --> 00:33:11,446
as are the huge built-ins
flanking the fireplace.
926
00:33:12,408 --> 00:33:14,533
With all the added space
in the kitchen layout,
927
00:33:14,535 --> 00:33:16,743
we're able to install
an extra-large sink
928
00:33:16,745 --> 00:33:18,495
and some beautiful white
quartz counters.
929
00:33:20,124 --> 00:33:21,790
Everything
is finding its place.
930
00:33:21,825 --> 00:33:24,418
Now it's time for Alex's gia
guitar collection,
931
00:33:24,494 --> 00:33:27,212
which used to clutter
the entire living room floor
932
00:33:29,049 --> 00:33:30,841
Are we getting this right?
933
00:33:30,917 --> 00:33:34,553
-'Cause obviously
you're the guitar player.
-So this...
934
00:33:34,629 --> 00:33:36,304
I mean, the thing that
I am noticing, though,
935
00:33:36,348 --> 00:33:37,723
is where we have a mark.
936
00:33:37,725 --> 00:33:39,057
Those are pretty wide spaces.
937
00:33:39,059 --> 00:33:40,892
So we can put
five guitars in there.
938
00:33:40,969 --> 00:33:43,854
Would we want to narrow it
a bit and do six guitars?
939
00:33:43,856 --> 00:33:45,147
-That's what I thinking.
-We could.
940
00:33:45,149 --> 00:33:47,024
-Do you play any instruments?
-Yes.
941
00:33:47,026 --> 00:33:48,275
-What do you play?
-Air guitar.
942
00:33:48,351 --> 00:33:51,528
Okay.
So your instrument, sir.
943
00:33:52,740 --> 00:33:55,073
When we're done,
there's going to be
six guitars hanging here,
944
00:33:55,075 --> 00:33:57,701
which I believe
will hit just the right not
945
00:33:57,778 --> 00:33:59,444
for this design.
946
00:33:59,521 --> 00:34:02,205
We want to honor
three generations
of this family
947
00:34:02,207 --> 00:34:04,041
that have called
this house a home.
948
00:34:04,117 --> 00:34:07,044
We have stylish curvy
backsplash tiles
in the kitchen.
949
00:34:07,046 --> 00:34:10,338
We have decorative
trim molding
on the walls and the entry.
950
00:34:10,382 --> 00:34:11,906
They said they wanted
their design style
951
00:34:11,908 --> 00:34:14,593
to reflect their personality
bright, happy.
952
00:34:14,595 --> 00:34:16,762
We also have stunning hardware
and fixtures
953
00:34:16,838 --> 00:34:18,472
that will really
make this house sparkle
954
00:34:18,548 --> 00:34:20,223
for its new life
with Ginger and Alex.
955
00:34:39,036 --> 00:34:41,036
Playtime, plants.
956
00:34:41,038 --> 00:34:43,580
-Good combos.
-This is gonna mean
so much to them.
957
00:34:43,582 --> 00:34:44,748
Seeing all
the personal memories,
958
00:34:44,750 --> 00:34:46,041
especially of
Alex's grandfather,
959
00:34:46,043 --> 00:34:47,826
knowing the history
of this home.
960
00:34:47,902 --> 00:34:50,837
Personal touches
from the guitars
to the color on the cabinets,
961
00:34:50,914 --> 00:34:53,924
everything you look at,
it just says Alex and Ginger.
962
00:34:55,969 --> 00:34:58,220
-What's happening, Alex?
-Oh, my gosh. I'm so nervous.
963
00:34:58,222 --> 00:35:00,305
You should be.
It looks amazing in there.
964
00:35:00,307 --> 00:35:02,057
I'm so excited.
I'm like, let's go.
965
00:35:02,059 --> 00:35:03,508
I'm ready to go.
966
00:35:03,510 --> 00:35:05,310
Even from
the first impression,
look at the door.
967
00:35:05,312 --> 00:35:06,728
-[Alex] Oh, I know.
-[Ginger] Oh, wow.
968
00:35:08,649 --> 00:35:09,606
Oh, my gosh.
969
00:35:17,074 --> 00:35:19,116
Oh, my gosh.
970
00:35:19,118 --> 00:35:21,451
-Wow.
-[Ginger] Wow.
971
00:35:21,528 --> 00:35:24,412
-[Ginger] This is...
-[Alex] Oh, wow.
972
00:35:24,456 --> 00:35:25,872
-[Ginger] ...amazing.
-[Alex] I know.
973
00:35:25,949 --> 00:35:28,416
-Yeah. Wow.
-Oh, my God.
974
00:35:28,418 --> 00:35:30,877
As you look around,
a lot has changed.
975
00:35:30,879 --> 00:35:32,963
The rock garden
is now a closet.
976
00:35:32,965 --> 00:35:34,689
[Ginger] That's amazing.
977
00:35:34,691 --> 00:35:37,467
The lattice is gone,
and you now have
some beautiful detail.
978
00:35:37,544 --> 00:35:39,136
[Ginger] Yeah. Oh, my gosh.
979
00:35:39,212 --> 00:35:40,345
It's spectacular.
980
00:35:40,347 --> 00:35:41,621
[Alex] This is amazing.
981
00:35:41,698 --> 00:35:43,306
I'm...
I'm honestly speechless.
Yeah.
982
00:35:43,308 --> 00:35:45,475
And also, first time
we've ever done it.
983
00:35:45,477 --> 00:35:48,645
But what a statement
with the beautiful guitar
feature wall.
984
00:35:48,647 --> 00:35:50,272
-[Ginger] Yeah.
-[Jonathan] What do you think?
985
00:35:50,315 --> 00:35:51,439
-It's beautiful.
-It's so cute.
986
00:35:51,441 --> 00:35:52,899
[Alex]
This wall is incredible.
987
00:35:52,901 --> 00:35:55,068
It's not just the guitars,
it's the photos above it.
988
00:35:55,070 --> 00:35:57,362
I actually see...
I see my family.
989
00:35:57,364 --> 00:35:58,880
I see my grandfather.
990
00:35:58,882 --> 00:36:00,365
Our grandparents passed away
when we were just little,
991
00:36:00,442 --> 00:36:01,867
so we never got to know them
as adults.
992
00:36:01,869 --> 00:36:04,119
And I think it's such an
amazing thing that
993
00:36:04,121 --> 00:36:05,787
you got to be a roommate
with your grandpa
for a couple of years.
994
00:36:05,789 --> 00:36:07,480
That's so cool.
995
00:36:07,482 --> 00:36:09,875
I feel so fortunate to have
that experience.
Absolutely.
996
00:36:09,877 --> 00:36:13,336
I think that my grandfather
would be very excited
997
00:36:13,413 --> 00:36:15,255
to see this and be very happy.
998
00:36:15,332 --> 00:36:19,968
I think he was waiting
until the perfect person
entered your life,
999
00:36:19,970 --> 00:36:21,678
and then you guys
could have this space
1000
00:36:21,755 --> 00:36:23,513
and make it something
that's really gonna be
1001
00:36:23,515 --> 00:36:24,806
the start of a new chapter
for you guys.
1002
00:36:24,808 --> 00:36:26,349
[Ginger] Yeah.
1003
00:36:26,351 --> 00:36:28,393
Finding a way to take these
guitars off the floor
1004
00:36:28,470 --> 00:36:30,478
and display them,
did we get it right, Alex?
1005
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:31,938
[Alex] Absolutely.
And I'm happy too.
1006
00:36:31,940 --> 00:36:33,356
I was... at the beginning,
1007
00:36:33,433 --> 00:36:35,275
I thought
I was gonna have to settle
for two or three.
1008
00:36:35,352 --> 00:36:37,569
This is a very,
very happy number.
1009
00:36:37,571 --> 00:36:39,196
You can now rock out
and be like...
1010
00:36:40,240 --> 00:36:41,990
with all your friends here.
1011
00:36:41,992 --> 00:36:43,182
And they're beautiful.
1012
00:36:43,184 --> 00:36:44,576
It makes your guitars
look so beautiful.
1013
00:36:44,578 --> 00:36:46,428
I mean,
it really showcases that.
1014
00:36:46,430 --> 00:36:48,663
Look out here.
I mean, what do you think
of how open this feels?
1015
00:36:48,665 --> 00:36:50,540
-[Ginger] It's amazing.
-[Alex] It's incredible.
1016
00:36:50,542 --> 00:36:52,500
[Ginger]
I mean, it looks huge.
I get it now.
1017
00:36:52,544 --> 00:36:55,003
I couldn't see how big
of a space this was before.
1018
00:36:55,005 --> 00:36:56,796
And it's beautiful.
I mean...
1019
00:36:56,798 --> 00:36:59,007
I remember
you saying, wait, what?
1020
00:36:59,042 --> 00:37:00,634
-Our space isn't that big.
-I was like, what?
1021
00:37:00,710 --> 00:37:02,802
[Drew]
Look, how cool is it now?
1022
00:37:02,879 --> 00:37:04,679
How connected
everything feels.
1023
00:37:04,723 --> 00:37:06,598
You're closer now
to your feature wall,
1024
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,475
and you have a feature wall
that actually fits this wall.
1025
00:37:08,477 --> 00:37:10,101
[Ginger] Yeah.
Such a flow of energy.
1026
00:37:10,178 --> 00:37:12,562
-Yes, it's. It's comfortable.
-Comfy.
1027
00:37:12,564 --> 00:37:14,013
The fireplace
is beautiful, too.
1028
00:37:14,090 --> 00:37:15,398
[Jonathan]
That's the same fireplace,
by the way.
1029
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:16,975
[Alex]
It doesn't look the same.
1030
00:37:16,977 --> 00:37:19,486
[Jonathan]
Completely re-faced it,
put in the mantel.
1031
00:37:19,521 --> 00:37:22,197
Because you have a TV,
you want to deflect
the heat off of the fire...
1032
00:37:22,241 --> 00:37:23,815
[Ginger] Uh-huh.
1033
00:37:23,817 --> 00:37:26,409
But also the built-ins
with that
beautiful pop of color
1034
00:37:26,411 --> 00:37:28,578
combined with natural
and neutral materials
1035
00:37:28,580 --> 00:37:30,997
with clean lines
really ties that
1036
00:37:31,074 --> 00:37:33,166
lighter transitional
boho style together.
1037
00:37:33,243 --> 00:37:35,627
You know what's funny,
'I don't think
we've seen the fireplace
1038
00:37:35,704 --> 00:37:37,629
in four years
'cause the guitars
are always covering it.
1039
00:37:38,674 --> 00:37:41,007
And that blue is...
is so pretty.
1040
00:37:41,084 --> 00:37:43,760
I have to always say nothing
is sexier than storage.
1041
00:37:43,762 --> 00:37:45,804
-[Ginger] Agreed.
-[Jonathan] You have so much
storage now on both sides.
1042
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,672
[Ginger] Yes.
1043
00:37:47,674 --> 00:37:50,809
Now everything feels
so connected, like,
to your beautiful kitchen.
1044
00:37:50,811 --> 00:37:52,686
Taking out that massive wal
1045
00:37:52,762 --> 00:37:55,146
from the living room gave u
so much space to work with.
1046
00:37:55,148 --> 00:37:57,399
The dining room feels
so open.
1047
00:37:57,442 --> 00:37:58,525
[Ginger] Yeah.
This is beautiful.
1048
00:37:58,601 --> 00:38:00,351
[Alex]
Oh, this table is awesome.
1049
00:38:00,353 --> 00:38:01,987
[Jonathan] Just imagine
all the dinners
you'll be having here
1050
00:38:01,989 --> 00:38:03,613
with both your families.
1051
00:38:03,615 --> 00:38:05,473
[Ginger] Wow. You guys.
1052
00:38:05,475 --> 00:38:07,784
[Jonathan] You needed to have
a bigger kitchen,
now you got it.
1053
00:38:07,861 --> 00:38:09,202
-What do you think?
-Oh, my gosh.
1054
00:38:09,279 --> 00:38:10,203
Oh, my gosh.
1055
00:38:10,205 --> 00:38:11,621
What?
1056
00:38:11,698 --> 00:38:13,248
-This is amazing.
-[Alex] This is incredible.
1057
00:38:13,250 --> 00:38:14,916
[Jonathan]
Pushing the peninsula back
1058
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,334
gave us more space
in here.
1059
00:38:16,336 --> 00:38:18,920
The cabinets are amazing.
1060
00:38:18,922 --> 00:38:21,298
This is beautiful.
This makes me want to be
in here and actually...
1061
00:38:21,300 --> 00:38:22,549
like, actually cook.
1062
00:38:22,551 --> 00:38:24,634
-I know. It looks so nice.
-[Ginger] Yeah.
1063
00:38:24,636 --> 00:38:28,138
May I point out if
this was the original kitchen
so come this way a little.
1064
00:38:28,214 --> 00:38:30,223
Come this way.
We would have been
standing right here like this.
1065
00:38:30,225 --> 00:38:32,183
Yeah, that's right.
1066
00:38:32,185 --> 00:38:33,560
Too many cooks
in the kitchen.
1067
00:38:33,562 --> 00:38:34,811
-No.
-Back it up.
1068
00:38:34,813 --> 00:38:37,397
Not only captured more space
so you can move.
1069
00:38:37,399 --> 00:38:39,107
But having
the two-tiered peninsula
1070
00:38:39,109 --> 00:38:41,109
that you requested
turned out beautifully.
1071
00:38:41,153 --> 00:38:42,736
-This is beautiful.
-Oh, and this wood.
1072
00:38:42,738 --> 00:38:43,862
-So cool.
-Oh, my gosh.
1073
00:38:43,864 --> 00:38:45,880
I'm so glad
you recommended that.
1074
00:38:45,882 --> 00:38:49,200
Everything about this kitchen
speaks to function,
to a designer touch.
1075
00:38:49,277 --> 00:38:51,369
You can look at the vent
and how it ties
into the butcher block.
1076
00:38:51,446 --> 00:38:52,787
-Yeah. It's beautiful.
-It's awesome.
1077
00:38:52,789 --> 00:38:54,414
You even have
this extra dedicated space
1078
00:38:54,491 --> 00:38:55,749
that can be a coffee station.
1079
00:38:55,751 --> 00:38:57,417
-Yeah. Nice.
-That's awesome.
1080
00:38:57,494 --> 00:38:59,210
Love it.
And the floors, too.
1081
00:38:59,287 --> 00:39:00,837
I mean, these are gorgeous.
1082
00:39:00,839 --> 00:39:02,922
[Jonathan] And they will
stand up to the dogs.
1083
00:39:02,999 --> 00:39:05,342
-My gosh.
-This is a luxury vinyl.
1084
00:39:05,418 --> 00:39:07,594
-It's beautiful,
but it's extremely durable.
-[Ginger] Good, awesome.
1085
00:39:07,596 --> 00:39:09,471
So it's the right choice
because you have big dogs.
1086
00:39:09,473 --> 00:39:10,805
That's awesome.
That's what we needed.
1087
00:39:10,849 --> 00:39:12,182
That's what we needed.
Yeah.
1088
00:39:12,184 --> 00:39:14,142
Get a little touchy feely
with drawers, your fridge.
1089
00:39:14,144 --> 00:39:15,352
Yeah.
Whatever you want.
1090
00:39:15,428 --> 00:39:16,770
-Oh, my gosh.
-Oh, thank you. Thank you.
1091
00:39:16,846 --> 00:39:18,605
[Jonathan] Oh, oh.
How did that get in there?
1092
00:39:20,025 --> 00:39:22,150
Are these expired?
Are they safe to eat?
1093
00:39:22,152 --> 00:39:23,518
[Drew] You can eat
these ones.
1094
00:39:23,528 --> 00:39:25,236
Do not open that
in our beautiful new house.
1095
00:39:25,238 --> 00:39:26,446
I know. Okay.
1096
00:39:26,448 --> 00:39:28,323
Some smells are hard
to get out.
1097
00:39:28,325 --> 00:39:30,116
You have
beautiful appliances.
1098
00:39:30,118 --> 00:39:32,577
When you see
your built-in microwave.
1099
00:39:32,654 --> 00:39:34,204
-[Alex] That's so cool.
-[Ginger] What!
1100
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:35,205
Oh, my God.
1101
00:39:35,207 --> 00:39:36,748
So you don't have
to bend over.
1102
00:39:36,750 --> 00:39:38,208
[Ginger] I just continue to be
amazed by
1103
00:39:38,210 --> 00:39:39,601
how much space
we're getting.
1104
00:39:39,603 --> 00:39:40,710
[Jonathan] Before,
it felt like a small kitchen.
1105
00:39:40,712 --> 00:39:42,270
-[Ginger] Right.
-[Alex] Yeah.
1106
00:39:42,272 --> 00:39:44,422
[Jonathan] Now everything
just feels spacious and open.
1107
00:39:44,499 --> 00:39:46,341
And again,
now you can entertain.
1108
00:39:46,385 --> 00:39:47,442
[Alex] It's incredible.
1109
00:39:47,444 --> 00:39:49,277
I mean,
we can see everything.
1110
00:39:49,279 --> 00:39:51,429
You know, we'll be able to
communicate with
each other much better.
1111
00:39:51,431 --> 00:39:53,556
-Yeah.
-We'll be able to communicate
with our guests much better.
1112
00:39:53,558 --> 00:39:55,141
This is awesome.
It's so cool.
1113
00:39:55,143 --> 00:39:58,228
You said so many times
that you want it to feel open
1114
00:39:58,230 --> 00:40:00,563
and bright and inviting,
but at the same time,
1115
00:40:00,565 --> 00:40:03,525
you want it to feel warm
and cozy like a family home.
1116
00:40:03,527 --> 00:40:05,944
And that's exactly the vibe
we were going for.
1117
00:40:05,946 --> 00:40:08,154
This kitchen
and the whole space
1118
00:40:08,156 --> 00:40:10,365
really feels like you guys.
1119
00:40:10,367 --> 00:40:12,992
The color of this kitchen
really reminds me
of my grandma, actually.
1120
00:40:12,994 --> 00:40:14,661
I know she really
loved blues and greens,
1121
00:40:14,737 --> 00:40:16,454
and so now when I come
into the kitchen,
I'll think of her.
1122
00:40:16,531 --> 00:40:17,822
This is awesome.
1123
00:40:17,824 --> 00:40:20,041
With our family when our
parents come to visit,
1124
00:40:20,085 --> 00:40:22,710
I... I just have these
weird random memories.
1125
00:40:22,712 --> 00:40:24,921
But I enjoy being able to
look across the room
1126
00:40:24,923 --> 00:40:26,497
and see them sitting
at the sofa.
1127
00:40:26,499 --> 00:40:28,425
-Yeah.
-Not even doing anything,
just sitting there...
1128
00:40:28,427 --> 00:40:29,551
-Right.
-...but being close.
1129
00:40:29,553 --> 00:40:31,511
Yeah.
It means the world to me.
1130
00:40:31,513 --> 00:40:33,680
The long distance
with my family is really hard.
1131
00:40:33,682 --> 00:40:35,765
And having a space that
they can actually look forward
1132
00:40:35,767 --> 00:40:38,101
to coming to and that
I feel really proud of.
1133
00:40:38,178 --> 00:40:40,270
I think having
a home like this
really lends itself to that.
1134
00:40:40,272 --> 00:40:41,604
Yeah.
1135
00:40:41,606 --> 00:40:43,440
I feel like there was
one other area you said
1136
00:40:43,442 --> 00:40:44,941
was important to you.
1137
00:40:45,018 --> 00:40:46,025
Sometimes the yard.
Sometimes.
1138
00:40:46,027 --> 00:40:47,944
-Yeah.
-The yard.
1139
00:40:47,946 --> 00:40:50,280
-That's right.
-That's it.
1140
00:40:50,356 --> 00:40:51,739
Oh!
1141
00:40:53,827 --> 00:40:55,994
Oh, my God!
1142
00:40:55,996 --> 00:40:57,036
That's so cool.
1143
00:40:57,038 --> 00:40:59,497
[Ginger] This is amazing!
1144
00:40:59,574 --> 00:41:01,708
-Oh, my gosh!
-Oh, my gosh.
1145
00:41:02,711 --> 00:41:04,169
Look at this.
1146
00:41:04,171 --> 00:41:06,463
-Oh, my God!
-[Alex] It's so cool.
1147
00:41:06,465 --> 00:41:07,922
[Ginger] It's so perfect,
you guys.
1148
00:41:07,924 --> 00:41:10,508
I mean, my eyes first
go to the rocks are gone.
1149
00:41:10,510 --> 00:41:12,135
-[Alex] Yeah.
-[Ginger] That's amazing.
1150
00:41:12,137 --> 00:41:14,012
-[Jonathan] Mm-hmm.
-[Alex] So clean.
There's so much grass.
1151
00:41:14,014 --> 00:41:15,880
[Ginger] Oh, the dogs
are gonna go crazy.
1152
00:41:15,957 --> 00:41:18,141
-[Alex] Oh, my gosh.
They're gonna love this.
-[Ginger] Oh, my gosh.
1153
00:41:18,218 --> 00:41:20,226
Do you like that sort of moody
feel with the string lights?
1154
00:41:20,228 --> 00:41:21,644
-[Ginger] Yeah.
-[Alex] We love it.
1155
00:41:21,721 --> 00:41:23,271
We were trying to debate,
like, what's more important,
1156
00:41:23,315 --> 00:41:26,357
is it puppy areas,
is it the people areas?
1157
00:41:26,434 --> 00:41:29,360
Can I just say the pups
might have an even nicer bath
1158
00:41:29,362 --> 00:41:30,528
than you guys have?
1159
00:41:30,530 --> 00:41:33,072
-Ay!
-That's awesome.
1160
00:41:33,149 --> 00:41:34,807
-[Drew] That is a throne.
-Adorable.
1161
00:41:34,809 --> 00:41:36,201
I mean, they're big dogs,
so you need to have
a big bath.
1162
00:41:36,277 --> 00:41:37,719
-They are.
-They are. Oh, my gosh.
1163
00:41:37,721 --> 00:41:39,704
And I can't believe
you actually made two spaces.
1164
00:41:39,706 --> 00:41:41,664
That's exactly how we use
the space, for eating,
1165
00:41:41,741 --> 00:41:43,741
and then also
just for hanging out.
1166
00:41:43,743 --> 00:41:48,421
And again, you made something
that I saw small look so large
and it's awesome.
1167
00:41:48,423 --> 00:41:50,064
I'm... I'm speechless.
This is amazing.
1168
00:41:50,066 --> 00:41:52,157
You want to enjoy your yard?
I mean, that's the main thing.
1169
00:41:52,159 --> 00:41:54,594
If you can't get out there,
you can't get around,
you're not going to enjoy it.
1170
00:41:54,596 --> 00:41:56,346
-[Ginger] Right.
-And we spent
so much time out here.
1171
00:41:56,348 --> 00:41:58,181
The dogs spent
so much time out here.
1172
00:41:58,183 --> 00:42:00,558
This is certainly a place
where we'll be looking forward
1173
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,101
to be going every morning.
1174
00:42:02,103 --> 00:42:03,911
It's absolutely beautiful.
1175
00:42:03,913 --> 00:42:05,647
It's everything we could have
hoped for
and like a ton more, so...
1176
00:42:05,690 --> 00:42:07,006
Yeah.
1177
00:42:07,008 --> 00:42:09,067
I think that when you can both
be happy here,
1178
00:42:09,143 --> 00:42:10,735
we're still cherishing
the memories that you have
1179
00:42:10,812 --> 00:42:12,052
in this house
with your grandpa.
1180
00:42:12,054 --> 00:42:13,905
And those family memories
are so important.
1181
00:42:13,982 --> 00:42:15,657
Plus, you have a spot
for the dogs.
It's a win-win-win.
1182
00:42:15,659 --> 00:42:17,367
-Right.
-Absolutely.
1183
00:42:17,443 --> 00:42:19,661
-By the by, we may have
invited a few people over...
-Oh, okay.
1184
00:42:19,704 --> 00:42:21,704
[Drew] ...to have a party and
If you wanna kick things off.
1185
00:42:21,781 --> 00:42:23,331
Let's go meet 'em.
1186
00:42:23,333 --> 00:42:24,499
Alex, you better
play the guitar.
1187
00:42:24,501 --> 00:42:27,377
If you sing.
1188
00:42:27,379 --> 00:42:28,503
Hey, come on in.
1189
00:42:28,505 --> 00:42:30,171
-Hello!
-Hello!
1190
00:42:30,173 --> 00:42:32,423
Good to see you.
1191
00:42:32,425 --> 00:42:37,262
[Alex] It feels amazing to s
a place that is ours
1192
00:42:37,264 --> 00:42:39,305
and we'll make memories at.
1193
00:42:39,307 --> 00:42:42,892
And I can still see
my grandparents being happy.
1194
00:42:42,894 --> 00:42:44,561
[Ginger]
I think it just solidified...
1195
00:42:44,637 --> 00:42:47,146
-Right.
-...that we're really
making our life together.
1196
00:42:47,181 --> 00:42:50,316
This is what it's all about.
[laughs]
1197
00:42:51,361 --> 00:42:52,485
Come here.
1198
00:42:52,487 --> 00:42:54,279
Oh! Good girl.
