1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,166
You have a water problem.
2
00:00:03,166 --> 00:00:05,800
Water's coming out
all over the place.
3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,467
[Mike]
There's so much moisture,
it could cause surface mold.
4
00:00:08,467 --> 00:00:10,100
[woman] I wonder if that's why
I'm getting all these
5
00:00:10,100 --> 00:00:11,266
breathing issues.
6
00:00:11,266 --> 00:00:12,533
I was in the hospital
for two weeks...
7
00:00:12,533 --> 00:00:14,266
-[Sherry] Oh, my goodness.
-...'cause my oxygen
was very low.
8
00:00:14,266 --> 00:00:15,300
That's a long time.
9
00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:17,000
I definitely don't want
my husband and my daughter
10
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,567
to go through
what I went through.
11
00:00:18,567 --> 00:00:21,266
It was very scary.
I'm still scared now.
12
00:00:21,266 --> 00:00:22,667
[Mike] This is
not a small job.
13
00:00:22,667 --> 00:00:24,200
We've got to
investigate the inside.
14
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,300
There's an awful lot
of moisture.
15
00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:28,266
-[Sherry screams]
-[Mike laughs]
16
00:00:28,266 --> 00:00:29,200
[Sherry] I hate bugs!
17
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,467
[Mike] We've got to
pull the back deck,
18
00:00:31,867 --> 00:00:33,600
excavate the exterior
of this home.
19
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,467
It's not waterproof.
20
00:00:35,467 --> 00:00:37,467
And then we've got
to stop the water from
21
00:00:37,467 --> 00:00:39,367
penetrating the foundation.
22
00:00:39,367 --> 00:00:40,967
And that is a lot of work.
23
00:00:44,166 --> 00:00:45,400
I'm Mike Holmes,
24
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,367
and I've been making it right
for homeowners for 20 years.
25
00:00:48,367 --> 00:00:50,300
I'm teaming up
with my son, Michael,
26
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:51,667
who can build anything,
27
00:00:51,667 --> 00:00:53,000
and my daughter, Sherry,
28
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,166
who's highly skilled
and has an eye for design.
29
00:00:56,166 --> 00:00:57,867
Together, we're gonna
rescue families
30
00:00:57,867 --> 00:01:00,400
who have been scammed
by bad contractors
31
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,166
and crappy workmanship.
32
00:01:02,166 --> 00:01:04,867
This is Holmes Family Rescue.
33
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,300
This is a huge job.
34
00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:11,767
And we've spent the last week
35
00:01:11,767 --> 00:01:13,467
completely overhauling
the outside
36
00:01:13,467 --> 00:01:15,166
of Maria and Frank's house.
37
00:01:15,166 --> 00:01:16,567
Once the foundation
of the house was
38
00:01:16,567 --> 00:01:17,867
fully waterproofed,
39
00:01:17,867 --> 00:01:19,400
all our efforts went into
40
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,300
completely regrading
this property
41
00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:23,166
to control the flow
of groundwater.
42
00:01:23,166 --> 00:01:25,000
The idea is to take the water
43
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,000
from running this way,
44
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,367
and controlling it
to the side here.
45
00:01:28,367 --> 00:01:30,000
With the new
slope established,
46
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,500
we poured concrete pads
47
00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:33,567
for an incoming shed
and pavilion.
48
00:01:33,567 --> 00:01:34,967
[Sherry] Yeah!
49
00:01:34,967 --> 00:01:36,400
[Mike] Trucked in
all our drainage gravel
50
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,500
to bring the yard up to level,
51
00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:40,867
and got to
work laying our patio stones.
52
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,166
I promised Maria I'd go
a little bit further
53
00:01:44,166 --> 00:01:45,767
than just
replacing their deck,
54
00:01:45,767 --> 00:01:48,667
but she has
no idea how far I went.
55
00:01:51,066 --> 00:01:53,166
Now that we're really
progressing on the outside,
56
00:01:53,166 --> 00:01:54,667
I wanted to call Maria
57
00:01:54,667 --> 00:01:57,166
and give her
just some good news.
58
00:01:57,166 --> 00:01:58,400
Hi, Maria, how are you?
59
00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:59,867
[Maria] I'm good,
how are you, Mike?
60
00:01:59,867 --> 00:02:02,266
I am good. I just wanted
to give you a quick update
61
00:02:02,266 --> 00:02:04,166
as to where we're at
right now.
62
00:02:04,166 --> 00:02:06,667
We recently got the permits
for the basement,
63
00:02:06,667 --> 00:02:08,367
so we're getting going
on the basement.
64
00:02:08,367 --> 00:02:09,467
Oh, awesome.
65
00:02:09,467 --> 00:02:11,367
And I wanted to tell you
we did a complete
66
00:02:11,367 --> 00:02:12,867
air quality control test
67
00:02:12,867 --> 00:02:15,100
for your home,
radon gases, you name it.
68
00:02:15,100 --> 00:02:16,100
It came back...
69
00:02:17,066 --> 00:02:18,166
good.
70
00:02:18,166 --> 00:02:19,200
That makes me happy,
71
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,000
knowing that
my family is safe.
72
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,400
So thank you
for doing that test
on the basement there.
73
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,567
I'm gonna add maybe
a couple of other things
74
00:02:25,567 --> 00:02:26,500
for your health,
75
00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:28,066
to make it
even better for you.
76
00:02:28,066 --> 00:02:29,467
Breathing should be
a lot better
77
00:02:29,467 --> 00:02:30,600
by the time I'm done.
78
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:31,767
Thank you so much, Mike.
79
00:02:31,767 --> 00:02:33,166
You know what,
you're such a blessing.
80
00:02:33,166 --> 00:02:35,700
Loved you before,
but I love you even more now.
81
00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:36,600
I love you too.
82
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,667
Looking forward
to seeing everything.
83
00:02:38,667 --> 00:02:40,100
Which won't be long from now.
84
00:02:40,100 --> 00:02:41,500
[Maria]
I'll be waiting patiently.
85
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:42,967
-Thanks again, Mike.
-Bye for now.
86
00:02:44,467 --> 00:02:45,600
Well, that was good.
87
00:02:48,066 --> 00:02:49,367
Now that the permits
have arrived,
88
00:02:49,367 --> 00:02:51,467
we're starting this basement
from the ground up.
89
00:02:52,266 --> 00:02:53,567
We'll wall off the utilities,
90
00:02:53,567 --> 00:02:56,467
allowing half this space
to become Angelica's colorful
91
00:02:56,467 --> 00:02:58,467
friends-and-family-ready
rec room,
92
00:02:58,467 --> 00:02:59,967
complete with
plenty of seating,
93
00:02:59,967 --> 00:03:01,266
built-in media storage,
94
00:03:01,266 --> 00:03:02,266
cozy study corner
95
00:03:02,266 --> 00:03:03,867
and a custom-built
kitchenette.
96
00:03:04,567 --> 00:03:05,800
On the other side
of the stairs,
97
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,400
we'll create
a spacious bathroom
98
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,000
featuring a glassed-in shower
99
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,367
and ample cabinetry,
100
00:03:10,367 --> 00:03:11,567
while the space
across the hall
101
00:03:11,567 --> 00:03:14,200
becomes more
badly-needed storage.
102
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,000
Brightly colored
and built for action,
103
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,100
this basement
will finally give this family
104
00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:21,133
the hangout-ready friend zone
they've needed for years.
105
00:03:23,567 --> 00:03:25,600
Even though this house
is now watertight,
106
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,266
we're still going
to protect this basement
107
00:03:27,266 --> 00:03:29,200
with a waterproof subfloor.
108
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,367
This subfloor
consists of two parts.
109
00:03:31,367 --> 00:03:33,900
We've got the plastic
dimple board membrane
110
00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:36,667
that goes on the bottom,
creating a waterproof barrier.
111
00:03:36,667 --> 00:03:37,667
Then we have
the plywood sheeting,
112
00:03:37,667 --> 00:03:39,200
which will provide
a stable base
113
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,266
for our vinyl floor.
114
00:03:41,667 --> 00:03:43,767
All this adds up to
making sure we never have
115
00:03:43,767 --> 00:03:45,467
a water issue
in this basement again.
116
00:03:46,767 --> 00:03:49,567
[Sherry] With our basement
one step closer to walls,
117
00:03:49,567 --> 00:03:51,100
Dad and I are outside
to help with
118
00:03:51,100 --> 00:03:52,800
walls of a different kind.
119
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:53,900
Tom, good morning.
120
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:56,066
I love your fence.
121
00:03:56,066 --> 00:03:57,600
Look how easy the install is.
122
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:58,767
That's my favorite.
123
00:03:58,767 --> 00:04:01,000
-[Tom] You want
to try it? It's simple.
-[Sherry] Yeah.
124
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:01,967
[Tom] Here, take
a couple of these.
125
00:04:01,967 --> 00:04:03,500
I'll go on this side.
126
00:04:05,967 --> 00:04:08,000
The other nice thing
about this fence is that
127
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,800
when the boards do get
a little grey and,
128
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:10,967
you know, weathered,
129
00:04:10,967 --> 00:04:12,867
you can slip them out,
slip new ones in,
130
00:04:12,867 --> 00:04:14,500
and you've got
a brand-new fence again.
131
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:16,700
But the framework
being all aluminum
stays forever.
132
00:04:16,700 --> 00:04:17,700
-It's a fence for life.
-[Tom] Yeah.
133
00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:19,066
[Sherry] And the bonus is,
134
00:04:19,066 --> 00:04:20,700
you have something big
to fit in the backyard,
135
00:04:20,700 --> 00:04:22,700
you decide you want
to put in a pool one day,
136
00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:24,300
you can pull a panel
137
00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:25,400
and get in the backyard.
138
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,300
It's perfect. You don't have
to cut a fence apart.
139
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,100
[Mike] Lookit,
you're almost done.
140
00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:31,967
Uh, you know what, Tom?
I love this.
141
00:04:31,967 --> 00:04:33,300
I'll get the guys to help...
142
00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:35,400
-[Tom] Sure.
-...and I get the feeling
it's gonna be done today.
143
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,867
There's a lot more
fence to do.
144
00:04:36,867 --> 00:04:38,000
[Tom] There is.
145
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,567
Just got to cap rail this,
and we should be good to go
146
00:04:39,567 --> 00:04:41,767
-on this section.
-Sounds good.
147
00:04:41,767 --> 00:04:44,567
[Mike] This fence is only
one small piece of this build.
148
00:04:44,567 --> 00:04:46,767
Overall, we're in
an incredible space
149
00:04:46,767 --> 00:04:47,867
in the backyard.
150
00:04:47,867 --> 00:04:49,767
We've made it bigger,
and we've made it beautiful.
151
00:04:50,767 --> 00:04:52,000
And thanks to
our grading work,
152
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,767
water permeable stone borders
153
00:04:53,767 --> 00:04:55,300
and zero-maintenance turf,
154
00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:56,967
we've made it so now
155
00:04:56,967 --> 00:04:59,700
we control the water
away from the home.
156
00:05:00,767 --> 00:05:02,767
Man, this looks so good.
157
00:05:02,767 --> 00:05:04,166
They're not gonna
recognize it.
158
00:05:04,166 --> 00:05:05,467
Yeah, thank you.
159
00:05:05,467 --> 00:05:07,967
So as you can see here,
we've got the turf area.
160
00:05:07,967 --> 00:05:09,767
We're gonna throw some
planting in here.
161
00:05:09,767 --> 00:05:12,000
And then here we've got
those two relief points
162
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,900
-that we talked about.
-This is just a backup.
163
00:05:13,900 --> 00:05:15,000
This is an overflow, exactly.
164
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,000
So when there's a lot of rain,
165
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,867
we're gonna actually
have a spot that'll
166
00:05:17,867 --> 00:05:19,500
let the overflow out.
167
00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:20,567
[Mike] Picture it this way.
168
00:05:20,567 --> 00:05:21,967
We have the walkway.
169
00:05:21,967 --> 00:05:23,066
Underneath it,
170
00:05:23,066 --> 00:05:25,867
we have approximately
eight inches of drainage bed.
171
00:05:25,867 --> 00:05:27,100
That drainage bed
172
00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:30,000
runs towards
the side of the property.
173
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,800
With that drainage bed,
we've added
174
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,567
two weeping tile fields,
175
00:05:34,066 --> 00:05:35,200
which will ensure that
176
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,467
instead of going toward
the foundation of the house,
177
00:05:37,467 --> 00:05:39,567
all the water
runs to this point
178
00:05:39,567 --> 00:05:40,967
on the other side
of the fence.
179
00:05:42,767 --> 00:05:44,066
And what I love about these is
180
00:05:44,066 --> 00:05:46,000
that you can still
cut the grass out here.
181
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,967
-Yeah.
-When the water actually
does come, it pops up.
182
00:05:47,967 --> 00:05:50,367
It's gonna be seamless
when it's all done.
183
00:05:50,367 --> 00:05:51,967
[Mike] When we do work,
we think of
184
00:05:51,967 --> 00:05:53,900
absolutely everything.
185
00:05:53,900 --> 00:05:56,266
It's about never having
to come back.
186
00:05:56,266 --> 00:05:57,700
And with these
two little lines,
187
00:05:57,700 --> 00:05:59,500
we've ensured
no water will ever pool
188
00:05:59,500 --> 00:06:00,800
in this backyard again.
189
00:06:01,700 --> 00:06:03,000
I've got to get you
to come to my house.
190
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,767
-[Matt chuckles]
-Honestly.
191
00:06:07,166 --> 00:06:08,300
-[Sherry]
Doesn't make any sense.
-You're doing laundry,
192
00:06:08,300 --> 00:06:09,567
someone opens
the door to come in...
193
00:06:09,567 --> 00:06:10,900
-[Sherry] You get hit
with the door.
-[Michael] Yeah.
194
00:06:10,900 --> 00:06:12,767
[Mike] Are we having a meeting
in the laundry room?
195
00:06:12,767 --> 00:06:14,667
We just thought
this was a great space for
196
00:06:14,667 --> 00:06:16,100
three of us to converse
197
00:06:16,100 --> 00:06:18,100
really comfortably
'cause it's so tight in here.
198
00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:19,667
-[Michael] Yeah.
-Could you imagine
doing laundry
199
00:06:19,667 --> 00:06:21,100
-in this enclosed space?
-No. This is--
200
00:06:21,100 --> 00:06:23,767
And then someone's
coming through the garage,
hitting you with the door.
201
00:06:23,767 --> 00:06:26,100
Well, this is actually
rather tight.
202
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:27,700
-[Michael] You think?
-Yeah, lookit.
203
00:06:27,700 --> 00:06:29,367
So I want to put
204
00:06:29,367 --> 00:06:30,567
the laundry room downstairs
205
00:06:30,567 --> 00:06:32,066
and make this into
just a little mudroom
206
00:06:32,066 --> 00:06:33,867
-off the side of the garage.
-So this is your idea?
207
00:06:33,867 --> 00:06:36,066
-Perhaps.
-Is this a make-work project?
208
00:06:36,066 --> 00:06:38,200
I mean, I guess
this makes sense, but, like,
209
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,867
-it seems like there's...
-I mean, let's make
their lives easier.
210
00:06:39,867 --> 00:06:41,300
We're here for a reason.
211
00:06:41,300 --> 00:06:42,800
When they design
these houses, it's like,
212
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,867
"Oh, and you've got
a laundry room
on the first floor."
213
00:06:44,867 --> 00:06:46,266
Well, people
pay extra for that.
214
00:06:46,266 --> 00:06:48,166
[Mike] You know, nowadays,
everyone likes to have
215
00:06:48,166 --> 00:06:49,500
their laundry room
on the first floor,
216
00:06:49,500 --> 00:06:51,000
on the second floor.
217
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,266
I still believe it should be
in the basement.
218
00:06:53,266 --> 00:06:55,100
-Why?
-Because of flooding.
219
00:06:55,100 --> 00:06:57,667
Number one leak
in insurance companies...
220
00:06:57,667 --> 00:06:58,600
Is washer.
221
00:06:58,600 --> 00:06:59,867
And washer and dryer
222
00:06:59,867 --> 00:07:01,200
-usually dances
all over the place.
-[Sherry] Yeah.
223
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,066
-And you're not gonna
damage the floor.
-Vibrates the floor,
224
00:07:03,066 --> 00:07:04,967
and it won't vibrate
on the basement.
225
00:07:04,967 --> 00:07:06,767
There's probably not even
a drain in the floor.
226
00:07:06,767 --> 00:07:08,200
If this did flood,
it would just go
227
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:09,467
into the basement anyway.
228
00:07:09,467 --> 00:07:10,200
-[Sherry] Yeah.
-So...
229
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,867
Let's put them
in the basement.
230
00:07:12,867 --> 00:07:13,867
-Good idea, Sherry.
-[Sherry] I feel like
we should have done
231
00:07:13,867 --> 00:07:15,367
a "teamwork, break" here.
232
00:07:15,367 --> 00:07:16,100
-[Mike] Good idea.
-[Michael] Break!
233
00:07:16,567 --> 00:07:17,467
Work!
234
00:07:19,367 --> 00:07:20,767
-[Sherry] One, two...
-[Michael] Okay.
235
00:07:20,767 --> 00:07:22,000
[Sherry]
You push, I'll... Okay.
236
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:22,900
[screams]
237
00:07:22,900 --> 00:07:24,567
[Michael] Okay, you're okay.
You're okay.
238
00:07:24,567 --> 00:07:25,300
[Sherry] Scared me.
239
00:07:30,667 --> 00:07:31,567
[Michael] Oh.
240
00:07:31,567 --> 00:07:32,767
Chicken wire.
241
00:07:32,767 --> 00:07:34,500
[Sherry] Oh, perfect.
242
00:07:42,967 --> 00:07:44,967
We got chicken wire, thinset
243
00:07:44,967 --> 00:07:46,700
stapled to the plywood.
244
00:07:46,700 --> 00:07:47,800
This is gonna be
a lot of work.
245
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:53,567
-[Sherry]
Better with the hook.
-[Michael] Oh.
246
00:07:54,367 --> 00:07:55,500
Chicken wire.
247
00:07:55,500 --> 00:07:57,300
[Sherry] Oh, perfect.
248
00:08:02,967 --> 00:08:04,867
This is gonna be
a lot of work.
249
00:08:04,867 --> 00:08:07,000
We got chicken wire, thinset
250
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,166
stapled to the plywood.
251
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:09,800
The chicken wire and thinset
252
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,567
add a lot of strength
with the tile.
253
00:08:11,567 --> 00:08:12,967
It acts as a rebar.
254
00:08:12,967 --> 00:08:14,600
So, back in the day
before we had
255
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:15,700
an uncoupling membrane,
256
00:08:15,700 --> 00:08:17,767
this is what they used
to strengthen that tile bed.
257
00:08:17,767 --> 00:08:19,066
And, of course,
it's gonna be sharp,
258
00:08:19,066 --> 00:08:19,967
it's gonna be a pain.
259
00:08:19,967 --> 00:08:22,000
A little more work
than I intended
260
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,600
to involve us in this morning.
261
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,867
We just had to do
the laundry room,
262
00:08:25,867 --> 00:08:26,767
didn't we, Sherry?
263
00:08:30,166 --> 00:08:31,166
[Sherry]
A little bit of effort.
264
00:08:31,166 --> 00:08:32,333
It's really worth it
in the end.
265
00:08:32,333 --> 00:08:33,767
They're gonna
have a great mudroom.
They're gonna
266
00:08:33,767 --> 00:08:35,967
have the better laundry room
down in the basement.
267
00:08:35,967 --> 00:08:37,600
It's going to be
a perfect setup for them.
268
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:38,467
Agreed.
269
00:08:47,767 --> 00:08:50,000
[Mike] Today, Sherry and I
have been asked to start with
270
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,166
a trip to Kim's showroom.
271
00:08:52,266 --> 00:08:53,200
Kim?
272
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,667
-[Sherry] Good morning.
-[Kim] Hey, guys.
273
00:08:54,667 --> 00:08:56,000
-Thanks for coming.
-[Sherry] How are you?
274
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,367
[Kim] Amazing.
275
00:08:57,367 --> 00:08:58,367
So, I brought you here today
276
00:08:58,367 --> 00:09:00,166
so that I could
get your opinion
277
00:09:00,166 --> 00:09:02,367
and pick your brain on colors
for Angelica's basement.
278
00:09:02,367 --> 00:09:03,967
Right now,
Angelica doesn't really have
279
00:09:03,967 --> 00:09:05,000
any space to herself.
280
00:09:06,166 --> 00:09:07,867
They have
the loungy area upstairs,
281
00:09:07,867 --> 00:09:09,900
but unfortunately, Maria has
her office in the kitchen.
282
00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:12,000
-[Kim] Yeah.
-[Sherry] You're constantly
crossing paths,
283
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,066
-so there's
no real area for her to...
- [Kim] There's no privacy.
284
00:09:14,066 --> 00:09:16,000
...have fun with her friends
and be herself.
285
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,967
[Kim]
Like, it's not our typical
286
00:09:17,967 --> 00:09:19,300
space that we do.
287
00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:22,000
It's more for a girl who's 16,
288
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,100
has her friends over,
289
00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:24,467
-sleepover parties.
-Sleepovers.
290
00:09:24,467 --> 00:09:25,433
[Kim] Yeah.
291
00:09:25,433 --> 00:09:28,500
What do you think
a young woman would want?
292
00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:30,400
Anything to do
with a cell phone.
293
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,567
-Okay, that's great
for a basement design.
-[Mike] Uh...
294
00:09:32,567 --> 00:09:34,100
-In-ear speaker.
-[Sherry] What...
295
00:09:35,266 --> 00:09:37,200
Uh, what else?
296
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,400
Do you think you're
really hip and in touch
297
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,166
with what
the kids like nowadays?
298
00:09:41,166 --> 00:09:42,467
I'm cool.
299
00:09:42,467 --> 00:09:44,266
You're so cool. So cool.
300
00:09:46,166 --> 00:09:48,166
If we were to have
a slumber party tonight,
301
00:09:48,166 --> 00:09:49,100
what would we be doing?
302
00:09:49,100 --> 00:09:50,700
I don't do slumber parties.
303
00:09:50,700 --> 00:09:52,300
If you were a young girl,
304
00:09:52,300 --> 00:09:53,767
and you wanted
to have a slumber party
305
00:09:53,767 --> 00:09:55,867
-with all of your besties...
-There'd be lots of pillows.
306
00:09:55,867 --> 00:09:57,100
-Pillows. Okay.
-[Kim] Okay. That's...
307
00:09:57,100 --> 00:09:59,166
-[Sherry] What color?
-Yeah, what colors?
308
00:09:59,166 --> 00:10:00,600
It's like,
don't do pink floors.
309
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:01,600
Let's do pink floors.
310
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,266
-Don't do pink cabinets.
-Do pink cabinets.
311
00:10:03,266 --> 00:10:05,467
I did, I did think about that
in the beginning.
312
00:10:05,467 --> 00:10:07,467
But then I thought
for longevity purposes,
313
00:10:07,467 --> 00:10:08,266
I don't know.
314
00:10:08,266 --> 00:10:09,800
When you're 16,
you like one thing.
315
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,767
I think as a young teenager,
316
00:10:11,767 --> 00:10:12,767
the sky's the limit.
317
00:10:12,767 --> 00:10:14,100
You can do whatever you want.
318
00:10:14,100 --> 00:10:15,467
And if you make it simple,
319
00:10:15,467 --> 00:10:16,700
there's no wow factor.
320
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:19,200
-[Kim] Right.
-If you really dress it up
for a teenager...
321
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,400
-[Kim] Right.
-...and make it colorful
322
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,200
-and crazy...
-Right. Fun.
323
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,867
...she's gonna walk in and go,
324
00:10:22,867 --> 00:10:24,367
"Mom, I wanna move down here."
325
00:10:24,367 --> 00:10:25,500
-That's my opinion.
-Yeah.
326
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:26,500
So go crazy.
327
00:10:26,867 --> 00:10:27,767
Really?
328
00:10:27,767 --> 00:10:29,667
You're gonna let us
do whatever we want?
329
00:10:29,667 --> 00:10:30,467
Yeah.
330
00:10:30,467 --> 00:10:31,567
Really?
331
00:10:31,567 --> 00:10:32,367
Huh!
332
00:10:32,367 --> 00:10:33,100
-That's amazing.
-And you can't
333
00:10:33,100 --> 00:10:34,367
-take it back.
-Yeah.
334
00:10:34,367 --> 00:10:35,567
This is gonna be fun.
335
00:10:35,567 --> 00:10:36,567
Yeah, this is
gonna be so much fun.
336
00:10:36,567 --> 00:10:38,367
You're done. [chuckles]
337
00:10:38,367 --> 00:10:40,300
-I'm excited.
-Bye, guys.
338
00:10:42,567 --> 00:10:43,767
[Michael] While the designs
for the basement
339
00:10:43,767 --> 00:10:45,467
are only just taking shape,
340
00:10:45,467 --> 00:10:48,567
the plan for the backyard
is well on its way.
341
00:10:48,567 --> 00:10:49,767
We've already laid down
our gorgeous
342
00:10:49,767 --> 00:10:51,266
interlocking stone patio,
343
00:10:51,266 --> 00:10:53,300
the perfect place
for entertaining
344
00:10:53,300 --> 00:10:55,367
once outfitted with
a large dining area
345
00:10:55,367 --> 00:10:56,700
and barbecue station.
346
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,567
Zero-maintenance turf leads
to an easy-access storage shed
347
00:11:00,567 --> 00:11:02,166
on one side of the yard,
348
00:11:02,166 --> 00:11:03,367
and on the other side,
349
00:11:03,367 --> 00:11:04,567
we want to give
Maria and Frank
350
00:11:04,567 --> 00:11:06,700
a show-stopping pavilion,
351
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:08,367
complete with a gas fireplace
352
00:11:08,367 --> 00:11:10,000
and plenty of seating.
353
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,667
Which brings us
to where I'm heading today.
354
00:11:12,667 --> 00:11:14,800
I'm checking out a company
that does incredible
355
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,800
timber-framed pavilions.
356
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,266
I've seen their work
in the real world,
357
00:11:18,266 --> 00:11:20,567
but I've never seen
the behind-the-scenes,
358
00:11:20,567 --> 00:11:22,166
so that's the part
that excites me.
359
00:11:22,166 --> 00:11:23,066
Wow.
360
00:11:23,066 --> 00:11:24,667
Rob, this is like
my dream shop.
361
00:11:24,667 --> 00:11:25,767
It's crazy, eh?
362
00:11:25,767 --> 00:11:26,467
Man, I mean, look at this.
363
00:11:26,467 --> 00:11:27,900
I'm in candy land.
364
00:11:27,900 --> 00:11:29,367
I'm a kid
in a candy store right now.
365
00:11:29,367 --> 00:11:32,166
I can't even speak
because this is so cool.
366
00:11:32,166 --> 00:11:33,467
So this is
where it all happens.
367
00:11:33,467 --> 00:11:34,867
And you build most pavilions
368
00:11:34,867 --> 00:11:36,467
without any screws or nails?
369
00:11:36,467 --> 00:11:38,767
Yes, it is all
mortise and tenon connections,
370
00:11:38,767 --> 00:11:40,100
some dovetail joinery.
371
00:11:40,100 --> 00:11:41,667
-So this is our joinery.
-[Rob] Yes.
372
00:11:41,667 --> 00:11:43,400
We have a male dovetail,
373
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,567
which is gonna fit into
the female side here...
374
00:11:45,567 --> 00:11:47,000
-[Michael] Yeah.
-[Rob]...right in
the king post.
375
00:11:47,900 --> 00:11:50,600
And then on the other side,
376
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,767
we have some bracing
in the structure.
377
00:11:52,767 --> 00:11:53,734
So this is our tenon.
378
00:11:53,734 --> 00:11:55,467
-[Rob] Our tenon.
-This is our mortise here.
379
00:11:55,467 --> 00:11:57,367
It's a mortise pocket
it's gonna fit into.
380
00:11:58,667 --> 00:12:00,467
[Michael] And then
rather than a bolt,
381
00:12:00,467 --> 00:12:01,734
this acts as our fastener.
382
00:12:01,734 --> 00:12:03,467
[Rob] That's our wood dowel
that's gonna make
the connection
383
00:12:03,467 --> 00:12:05,667
and pull everything tight
in the structure.
384
00:12:05,667 --> 00:12:06,600
[Michael]
These are incredible.
385
00:12:08,900 --> 00:12:10,800
So this is your CNC machine.
386
00:12:11,266 --> 00:12:12,300
[Rob] It is, yes.
387
00:12:12,300 --> 00:12:13,200
This is by far
388
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,100
the coolest CNC machine
I have ever seen.
389
00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:16,467
That is a thick saw blade.
390
00:12:16,467 --> 00:12:17,767
-[Rob] Yes.
-[Michael] That is a beast.
391
00:12:17,767 --> 00:12:19,266
[Rob] It's a beast,
that's for sure.
392
00:12:19,266 --> 00:12:20,867
-Can we test this out?
-[Rob] Certainly.
393
00:12:20,867 --> 00:12:22,500
-Eyes and ears.
-[Michael] Eyes and ears.
394
00:12:23,100 --> 00:12:24,800
A CNC machine is basically
395
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,967
a maneuverable
platform and tool
396
00:12:26,967 --> 00:12:28,500
that is controlled
by a computer.
397
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:30,667
This is unbelievable.
398
00:12:30,667 --> 00:12:31,767
I'm a licensed carpenter
399
00:12:31,767 --> 00:12:33,400
and I have a passion
for woodworking,
400
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:34,967
but I do it mostly by hand.
401
00:12:34,967 --> 00:12:36,066
We got our dovetail now.
402
00:12:36,066 --> 00:12:37,567
[Rob]
It's gonna do the dovetail.
403
00:12:38,467 --> 00:12:39,467
Oh, this is a male joint.
404
00:12:39,467 --> 00:12:41,000
-[Rob] It is, yep.
-[Michael] Yep.
405
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,567
This would take so long
to do by hand.
406
00:12:43,567 --> 00:12:46,367
Yeah, and it basically
takes it down to minutes now.
407
00:12:46,367 --> 00:12:47,166
Yeah.
408
00:12:47,166 --> 00:12:48,667
I could honestly stand here
409
00:12:48,667 --> 00:12:50,967
and watch
this machine go all day.
410
00:12:50,967 --> 00:12:53,000
It's changing bits.
It's changing bits.
411
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,600
You're taking the old world
and now you're mixing it with
412
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,000
a massive CNC machine.
413
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,000
So new world
meeting old world,
414
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,500
delivering completely custom
timber frame designs.
415
00:13:02,500 --> 00:13:05,500
Whatever you want,
they can build it.
416
00:13:05,500 --> 00:13:07,600
Once the timbers are all cut
on the CNC machine,
417
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:08,700
we move to the next station
418
00:13:08,700 --> 00:13:09,967
where it's prepped for stain
419
00:13:09,967 --> 00:13:11,266
with wire brushes,
420
00:13:11,266 --> 00:13:12,867
and then it goes through
the spray booth...
421
00:13:12,867 --> 00:13:14,200
There it is.
422
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,967
...where it is
perfectly sprayed
423
00:13:15,967 --> 00:13:17,600
all in ten seconds.
424
00:13:18,467 --> 00:13:19,600
This is unbelievable.
425
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,166
From here, we'll just stack it
up in the warehouse here
426
00:13:22,166 --> 00:13:23,467
to let it dry for a few days,
427
00:13:23,467 --> 00:13:24,634
and then it's ready
to be installed.
428
00:13:25,967 --> 00:13:28,100
I'm so happy that I got to see
the behind-the-scenes
429
00:13:28,100 --> 00:13:29,667
of how this is all
put together.
430
00:13:29,667 --> 00:13:31,667
This makes me
that much more excited
431
00:13:31,667 --> 00:13:33,400
to build something
for Maria and Frank.
432
00:13:39,667 --> 00:13:41,967
Back in town,
our day starts with laying out
433
00:13:41,967 --> 00:13:44,000
our double duty
basement bathroom.
434
00:13:44,700 --> 00:13:45,800
How's the new layout going?
435
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,867
[Michael] I think
the new layout
is working great.
436
00:13:47,867 --> 00:13:49,467
Having the shower over here...
437
00:13:49,467 --> 00:13:51,000
-[Sherry] Mm-hmm.
-...washer, dryer over here.
438
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,800
[Sherry] Cover it
so it's not quite obvious...
439
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,100
-Yeah.
-...but it's all in
the same space.
440
00:13:54,100 --> 00:13:54,967
That's it. So...
441
00:13:54,967 --> 00:13:56,567
Because we already
have this beam here,
442
00:13:56,567 --> 00:13:57,900
we've got our
point load there,
443
00:13:57,900 --> 00:13:59,967
this is a perfect wall to hide
444
00:13:59,967 --> 00:14:00,867
some of that plumbing in,
445
00:14:00,867 --> 00:14:01,967
-hide our venting in.
-Yeah.
446
00:14:01,967 --> 00:14:04,567
Getting to see this
bathroom layout on the floor,
447
00:14:04,567 --> 00:14:06,000
I know we made
the right choice.
448
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,800
It's more than big enough
to accommodate
449
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,266
a washer and dryer in here.
450
00:14:09,266 --> 00:14:11,367
Lookit, I don't
say this very often,
451
00:14:11,367 --> 00:14:13,333
but, Sherry, you were right.
452
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,700
Now in order to do all that,
we have to break up
453
00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:19,667
this concrete,
move the plumbing.
454
00:14:19,667 --> 00:14:21,100
So I've got
the wet saw set up.
455
00:14:21,100 --> 00:14:22,667
[Sherry] That's perfect.
You know what?
456
00:14:22,667 --> 00:14:24,000
If you could get
started on that,
457
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,967
I'm gonna
quickly head upstairs.
458
00:14:25,967 --> 00:14:27,667
I'm in this alone, is that it?
459
00:14:27,667 --> 00:14:29,967
I have to go get something
really quickly.
460
00:14:29,967 --> 00:14:31,800
Why don't we
rock, paper, scissors for it?
461
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:36,500
Loser.
462
00:14:40,867 --> 00:14:42,000
[Michael]
Now that we have a plan,
463
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,467
we're gonna cut open
the concrete.
464
00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:46,066
Break it up.
465
00:14:50,567 --> 00:14:51,667
Make room
for the new plumbing.
466
00:14:52,767 --> 00:14:53,867
And now we frame.
467
00:14:58,166 --> 00:14:59,400
Come to me a bit, yeah.
468
00:15:01,367 --> 00:15:02,567
That looks good there.
469
00:15:03,767 --> 00:15:05,967
Maria and Frank are going to
love this new layout.
470
00:15:05,967 --> 00:15:06,967
This is perfect.
471
00:15:08,066 --> 00:15:09,166
[Sherry] With the changes
to the basement
472
00:15:09,166 --> 00:15:10,600
really just beginning,
473
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:11,967
Michael heads upstairs...
474
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,100
to bring another task
to a close.
475
00:15:16,166 --> 00:15:18,567
On the front porch,
we've already changed out
the stone.
476
00:15:18,567 --> 00:15:21,367
We've changed out
the front door, the soffit.
477
00:15:21,367 --> 00:15:23,200
The last thing to finish this
is the pillars.
478
00:15:25,266 --> 00:15:26,967
[Sherry] Can I have it
a little bit more my way?
479
00:15:26,967 --> 00:15:28,667
There, I'm happy.
480
00:15:28,667 --> 00:15:30,767
We have pre-measured,
pre-cut aluminum pieces
481
00:15:30,767 --> 00:15:32,700
that we're going to
clad on top of the post,
482
00:15:32,700 --> 00:15:34,567
screw in, it should be
nice and easy.
483
00:15:34,567 --> 00:15:35,667
Might have to...
484
00:15:36,367 --> 00:15:37,767
[Sherry] Walk it in.
485
00:15:37,767 --> 00:15:38,767
[Michael] Just...
486
00:15:38,767 --> 00:15:39,567
Oh, God.
487
00:15:40,567 --> 00:15:41,700
That is so tight.
488
00:15:41,700 --> 00:15:42,900
-Oh, God. Oh, God.
-[Sherry] Oh.
489
00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:45,166
-It's scratched.
It's scratched.
-[Michael] Oh, God.
490
00:15:45,166 --> 00:15:47,567
[Sherry] Do you want to just
do the two corners?
491
00:15:47,567 --> 00:15:50,266
[Michael] I just want to see
if we assemble it in place,
492
00:15:50,266 --> 00:15:51,767
if that works better.
493
00:15:51,767 --> 00:15:53,767
[Sherry] You're looking
a little frustrated,
494
00:15:53,767 --> 00:15:55,867
a little tense,
a little uptight.
495
00:15:56,500 --> 00:15:58,367
There was a little scratch...
496
00:15:58,367 --> 00:15:59,433
-[Michael] Careful.
-I know.
497
00:15:59,433 --> 00:16:00,266
-I don't want to do it.
-I don't like handling this.
498
00:16:00,266 --> 00:16:01,467
Yeah, I don't either.
499
00:16:01,467 --> 00:16:03,367
-I don't want to.
-Then, I'm gonna put
the top in first.
500
00:16:03,367 --> 00:16:04,700
Just careful moving it.
501
00:16:07,166 --> 00:16:08,767
Holy [bleep]!
502
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:14,867
-I don't like handling this.
-Yeah, I don't either.
503
00:16:14,867 --> 00:16:16,867
-I don't want to.
-I'm gonna put
the top in first.
504
00:16:16,867 --> 00:16:18,200
Just careful moving it.
505
00:16:20,667 --> 00:16:22,166
Holy [bleep]!
506
00:16:22,667 --> 00:16:23,867
The pieces,
507
00:16:23,867 --> 00:16:26,000
they were pre-measured
and pre-cut.
508
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,266
[Sherry] Uh... Uh...
509
00:16:28,266 --> 00:16:30,300
I should have cut them
a little bit shorter
510
00:16:30,300 --> 00:16:32,667
so that I don't
scratch the soffit.
511
00:16:32,667 --> 00:16:34,967
-Jesus. It's too tight.
-I'm not touching that.
I'm not touching that.
512
00:16:34,967 --> 00:16:36,800
But it's kind of
exciting to get done.
It's the last thing
513
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,000
we need on the front porch,
so you don't think about it.
514
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,300
You know what's not exciting?
515
00:16:40,300 --> 00:16:41,500
-Yeah?
-Scratching the soffit.
516
00:16:43,467 --> 00:16:44,333
[Sherry] Listen, these pillars
517
00:16:44,333 --> 00:16:46,367
might not be
the easiest to install,
518
00:16:46,367 --> 00:16:48,166
but Frank and Maria
519
00:16:48,166 --> 00:16:49,667
have zero idea
520
00:16:49,667 --> 00:16:51,467
that we overhauled
their front porch.
521
00:16:51,467 --> 00:16:52,667
So I think when they
walk up and see it,
522
00:16:52,667 --> 00:16:55,567
it's a complete surprise.
It looks amazing, and it adds
523
00:16:55,567 --> 00:16:56,900
so much curb appeal
to the property.
524
00:16:56,900 --> 00:16:58,767
-Let's go top in first.
-Top first?
525
00:17:00,066 --> 00:17:01,433
[Michael]
All right, that looks good.
526
00:17:01,433 --> 00:17:03,500
All we got to do is
get the bottom trim
and the top trim attached,
527
00:17:03,500 --> 00:17:04,767
and these posts are done.
528
00:17:10,100 --> 00:17:12,667
[Sherry] With work continuing
full speed at the house,
529
00:17:12,667 --> 00:17:14,166
Dad and I get ourselves
cleaned up
530
00:17:14,667 --> 00:17:15,600
and back to Kim's.
531
00:17:16,767 --> 00:17:17,767
[Kim] So, guys,
532
00:17:17,767 --> 00:17:19,567
we went over
this one last time.
533
00:17:19,567 --> 00:17:20,600
You know the floor plan.
534
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,300
Now I'm gonna hit you
with the color.
535
00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:24,400
This is our
whole color palette.
536
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,300
So we're gonna have
three different wallpapers,
537
00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:28,767
the living room area,
538
00:17:28,767 --> 00:17:29,567
office,
539
00:17:30,066 --> 00:17:31,100
bathroom.
540
00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:33,567
This is gonna be
our flooring throughout.
541
00:17:33,567 --> 00:17:34,567
-[Sherry] Mm-hmm.
-[Kim] All vinyl.
542
00:17:34,567 --> 00:17:36,367
And then our millwork colors
543
00:17:36,367 --> 00:17:38,266
will be these two combined.
544
00:17:38,266 --> 00:17:40,000
So what do
you think, Mr. Holmes?
545
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:40,900
Are you happy
546
00:17:40,900 --> 00:17:42,400
with this color combo?
547
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,300
-I think it works
for the teenager...
-[Kim] Mm-hmm.
548
00:17:44,300 --> 00:17:46,000
...and it works
for Mom and Dad.
549
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,467
Well, can I throw
a little bit of a wrench
550
00:17:48,467 --> 00:17:50,000
-in this?
-[Kim] Yes.
551
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,467
It's beautiful.
552
00:17:51,467 --> 00:17:53,567
I feel like
it's almost a little muted.
553
00:17:53,567 --> 00:17:55,967
-[Kim] Really?
-[Sherry] Yeah.
554
00:17:55,967 --> 00:17:58,266
Can we throw a punch of color
in there somewhere,
555
00:17:58,266 --> 00:17:59,767
like a hot pink?
556
00:17:59,767 --> 00:18:02,600
Just a little bit of
something brighter,
557
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,667
-in your face a little bit?
-[Kim] We can try.
558
00:18:04,667 --> 00:18:07,066
I think we can go deeper tones
of coral if you like.
559
00:18:07,066 --> 00:18:09,266
Cool. Then it's just
like a fun pop.
560
00:18:09,266 --> 00:18:11,166
And then when we get
the furniture in,
561
00:18:11,166 --> 00:18:12,567
we can buy accessories
562
00:18:12,567 --> 00:18:14,166
to maybe, like,
pump it up a notch.
563
00:18:14,166 --> 00:18:15,867
You can do it with
pillows and accessories,
564
00:18:15,867 --> 00:18:17,166
like a pink blanket.
565
00:18:17,166 --> 00:18:18,400
Oh, now I'm excited.
566
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,166
-Not only is it good
for Angelica...
-[Kim] Yeah.
567
00:18:20,166 --> 00:18:22,300
...it's good for
when Angelica gets older,
568
00:18:22,300 --> 00:18:24,166
-[Kim and Sherry] Mm-hmm.
-...which means it's good
for Mom and Dad.
569
00:18:24,166 --> 00:18:25,300
So it's good for the family.
570
00:18:25,300 --> 00:18:26,867
Exactly. I'm sure they're
gonna entertain down there.
571
00:18:26,867 --> 00:18:28,667
-Absolutely.
-Yeah. Okay, perfect.
572
00:18:28,667 --> 00:18:29,533
I'm glad you like it.
573
00:18:29,533 --> 00:18:30,800
-[Sherry] It's beautiful.
-[Kim] Yay.
574
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,300
-Good job.
-Thank you.
575
00:18:36,467 --> 00:18:38,266
[Sherry] With our
color palette in place,
576
00:18:38,266 --> 00:18:39,867
I'm heading back
to Frank and Maria's
577
00:18:39,867 --> 00:18:41,567
where walls have
gone up in the basement...
578
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,100
and fresh sod
is going down outside.
579
00:19:00,767 --> 00:19:02,300
Before we can
start laying the tile
580
00:19:02,300 --> 00:19:04,066
in the downstairs
new bathroom,
581
00:19:04,066 --> 00:19:06,066
we have to
self-level the floor.
582
00:19:06,066 --> 00:19:08,100
You know what's great about
self-levelling a floor?
583
00:19:08,100 --> 00:19:08,934
You just make your mix,
584
00:19:08,934 --> 00:19:10,200
you have
your laser line, you know
585
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,100
where you're going,
and you pour buckets out.
586
00:19:12,100 --> 00:19:14,567
It's pretty easy
and it levels itself.
587
00:19:14,567 --> 00:19:16,200
And then once this is all dry,
588
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,700
it's time for Michael to
come in and do some work.
589
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:19,867
[Michael]
That's what brothers are for.
590
00:19:20,300 --> 00:19:21,200
I'll take it from here
591
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,000
and get the bench
and shower pan in.
592
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,467
Troy's mixing right now,
but while Troy's mixing,
593
00:19:26,467 --> 00:19:28,367
I'm gonna sponge down
this concrete,
594
00:19:28,367 --> 00:19:29,700
so adding a little moisture
595
00:19:29,700 --> 00:19:31,567
so that it doesn't
suck it quickly
596
00:19:31,567 --> 00:19:33,000
out of the mortar.
597
00:19:34,767 --> 00:19:37,300
All righty, Michael,
here's your first mix.
598
00:19:37,767 --> 00:19:38,567
That's a lot of mix.
599
00:19:38,567 --> 00:19:40,266
Okay, we'll start
with the bench.
600
00:19:40,266 --> 00:19:42,433
We'll trowel it up the walls
and on the floor here.
601
00:19:44,900 --> 00:19:46,467
[Troy] You ready
for the bench?
602
00:19:46,467 --> 00:19:47,567
-Ready for the bench.
-[Troy] Perfect.
603
00:19:51,467 --> 00:19:52,367
[Michael] I love this product.
604
00:19:52,367 --> 00:19:54,166
It's made out of
a waterproofing material
605
00:19:54,166 --> 00:19:55,400
and it comes pre-assembled,
606
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:56,667
so you just have to
cut it to width.
607
00:19:58,367 --> 00:19:59,500
And we're good to go.
608
00:19:59,500 --> 00:20:01,000
Now, the pan.
609
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,200
Oh, yeah.
610
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,867
[Michael] Our shower pan
is pre-sloped,
611
00:20:03,867 --> 00:20:05,367
making sure that
when water hits it,
612
00:20:05,367 --> 00:20:07,066
it goes directly
into the drain.
613
00:20:07,066 --> 00:20:08,900
So since we've self-levelled
the bathroom floor,
614
00:20:08,900 --> 00:20:10,600
all we have to do
is add thinset,
615
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:11,967
stick it to the concrete,
616
00:20:11,967 --> 00:20:13,066
and we're good to go.
617
00:20:13,066 --> 00:20:16,400
Okay. I'll grab my trowel
and we'll smooth that out.
618
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,367
And then we can
put in the curb,
619
00:20:18,367 --> 00:20:19,800
drop the drain in.
620
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,200
-Good to go. Perfect.
-Yeah.
621
00:20:26,100 --> 00:20:28,066
[Michael] The action
around here never stops.
622
00:20:28,066 --> 00:20:30,467
Now, the timber frame pavilion
has landed.
623
00:20:31,266 --> 00:20:33,200
This weighs about 150 pounds.
624
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,967
-You okay?
-[Sherry] Yeah, I'm good.
625
00:20:34,967 --> 00:20:35,767
Just don't go running.
626
00:20:35,767 --> 00:20:37,166
You have
longer legs than I do.
627
00:20:37,166 --> 00:20:38,567
Just keep up with my pace.
628
00:20:38,567 --> 00:20:39,600
[Sherry] I'm working on it.
629
00:20:41,066 --> 00:20:42,100
-Oh.
-[Michael] Ready?
630
00:20:42,100 --> 00:20:43,166
[Sherry] Yeah.
631
00:20:43,166 --> 00:20:44,200
It's a really big day today.
632
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,266
We've got Stewart
and his team here to help us
633
00:20:46,266 --> 00:20:47,266
build the pavilion.
634
00:20:47,266 --> 00:20:48,367
[Stewart] Beautiful.
635
00:20:50,066 --> 00:20:52,166
We're gonna install some
braces now in the post
636
00:20:52,166 --> 00:20:53,867
for that back beam to rest on.
637
00:20:53,867 --> 00:20:54,900
[Michael] Now,
one thing I love about this
638
00:20:54,900 --> 00:20:56,100
is it's a timber frame.
639
00:20:56,100 --> 00:20:57,467
There are no fasteners,
640
00:20:57,467 --> 00:20:59,300
only joinery
to hold this together.
641
00:20:59,300 --> 00:21:00,200
You guys want to put one in?
642
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,467
Let's get
another ladder over there.
643
00:21:01,467 --> 00:21:02,367
[Sherry] Oh, goodness.
644
00:21:02,367 --> 00:21:04,100
What's the over-under of me
645
00:21:04,100 --> 00:21:05,600
falling or dropping something?
646
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,567
[Michael] Uh, let's hope zero.
647
00:21:07,567 --> 00:21:09,467
I would rather fall than drop
one of these, though.
648
00:21:10,166 --> 00:21:10,867
-Okay.
-[Michael] Ready?
649
00:21:11,700 --> 00:21:12,567
[Sherry] Yes.
650
00:21:13,100 --> 00:21:14,166
[shrieks, chuckles]
651
00:21:14,767 --> 00:21:15,467
Oh, gosh.
652
00:21:16,266 --> 00:21:17,767
Okay. Okay. It's up here.
653
00:21:17,767 --> 00:21:19,667
-Okay. Just keep
it stable, Sher.
-[Sherry] Yeah.
654
00:21:20,500 --> 00:21:21,567
-[Michael] Okay.
-[Sherry] Okay.
655
00:21:21,567 --> 00:21:23,066
-Okay.
-[Stewart] So if you lift...
656
00:21:23,066 --> 00:21:24,300
[Sherry] Okay. Okay.
657
00:21:24,300 --> 00:21:25,834
It's really heavy.
658
00:21:28,300 --> 00:21:29,867
-[Stewart] So if you lift...
-[Sherry] Okay. Okay.
659
00:21:29,867 --> 00:21:31,700
-It's really heavy.
-[Michael] Sorry.
660
00:21:31,700 --> 00:21:32,967
[Sherry] Just don't go fast.
661
00:21:32,967 --> 00:21:34,700
-We're gonna have
to do it at the same time.
-[Sherry] Okay.
662
00:21:37,166 --> 00:21:38,667
-Is that right?
-[Stewart] That's it.
663
00:21:38,667 --> 00:21:40,867
-[Sherry] Lift up?
-[Michael] Here we go.
664
00:21:40,867 --> 00:21:42,166
[gasps] That scared me.
665
00:21:42,166 --> 00:21:43,100
[Stewart] Beautiful.
666
00:21:43,667 --> 00:21:45,266
That was easy.
667
00:21:45,266 --> 00:21:47,567
I'm just profusely sweating
from nerves.
668
00:21:47,567 --> 00:21:48,533
[Stewart chuckles]
669
00:21:48,533 --> 00:21:49,767
[Michael] All right,
where are those dowels?
670
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,500
This is Michael's thing.
671
00:21:52,667 --> 00:21:53,467
[Michael] Am I through?
672
00:21:55,700 --> 00:21:56,600
Nice and slow.
673
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:57,433
[Sherry grunts]
674
00:21:58,266 --> 00:21:59,200
-Okay.
-You want me to finish it?
675
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:00,066
-[Sherry] Yeah.
-Yeah.
676
00:22:00,367 --> 00:22:01,467
I love this.
677
00:22:03,867 --> 00:22:05,000
Good for you.
678
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:05,834
[Michael] It's like
679
00:22:05,834 --> 00:22:07,900
a woodworking project
on steroids.
680
00:22:08,367 --> 00:22:09,567
There we go.
681
00:22:09,567 --> 00:22:12,567
All these large joints,
locking them together,
682
00:22:12,567 --> 00:22:13,600
it's just a lot of fun.
683
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:14,500
Okay, let's come to you.
684
00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:16,900
[Sherry] Okay. Okay.
685
00:22:16,900 --> 00:22:18,467
[Michael] Just hold it steady.
686
00:22:19,667 --> 00:22:21,867
It's really heavy.
It's really hot out.
687
00:22:21,867 --> 00:22:23,166
But once I got comfortable,
688
00:22:23,166 --> 00:22:24,867
really fascinating
and really fun
689
00:22:24,867 --> 00:22:26,600
to have all of this
come together
690
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,100
without using screws
or nails or adhesives.
691
00:22:29,100 --> 00:22:30,100
-I'm good, are you?
-[Michael] Yep.
692
00:22:30,100 --> 00:22:31,066
-[Sherry] You okay?
-We're golden.
693
00:22:31,066 --> 00:22:31,934
Clear.
694
00:22:33,100 --> 00:22:34,266
[Sherry]
It's like building blocks.
695
00:22:34,266 --> 00:22:36,000
-Reminds me of being a kid.
-It's true.
696
00:22:39,667 --> 00:22:42,000
Okay. One more,
and we've got a structure.
697
00:22:43,467 --> 00:22:44,700
-Ready, Sher?
-[Sherry] Yeah.
698
00:22:47,166 --> 00:22:48,800
-Yay!
-[Michael] We're in.
699
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,600
[Sherry] This looks so good.
700
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,600
This is a focal point
in the backyard.
701
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:53,867
So now I guess it's just
702
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:55,233
our roof choice.
703
00:22:55,233 --> 00:22:56,400
I'm actually
pretty excited about it.
704
00:23:02,367 --> 00:23:04,200
Now that we have
the majority of the exterior
705
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,367
of the home done,
our focus has shifted
706
00:23:06,367 --> 00:23:07,767
to finishing off the basement.
707
00:23:08,367 --> 00:23:09,767
The shower is almost finished.
708
00:23:09,767 --> 00:23:12,266
Our walls have gone
from white to pink.
709
00:23:12,266 --> 00:23:14,000
The vinyl floor looks amazing,
710
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,000
and our millwork has arrived.
711
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,266
We have the washroom
in the basement,
712
00:23:18,266 --> 00:23:19,400
the mudroom,
713
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,600
the living area,
714
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,300
and we have cabinetry
going to the kitchenette.
715
00:23:25,767 --> 00:23:27,200
What do you think
of the pink, Troy?
716
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:28,066
It's growing on me.
717
00:23:28,066 --> 00:23:29,900
Once we're getting these,
the greys in
718
00:23:29,900 --> 00:23:30,867
-and the other colors...
-[Sherry] Uh-huh.
719
00:23:30,867 --> 00:23:31,967
...it's starting
to come together.
720
00:23:31,967 --> 00:23:33,500
It's gonna look great
with the couches.
721
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:34,700
Once the furniture comes in,
722
00:23:34,700 --> 00:23:37,066
-it always comes together.
-[Sherry] Yeah.
723
00:23:37,066 --> 00:23:39,166
This basement
is really for Angelica.
724
00:23:39,166 --> 00:23:40,967
This is a place where
she can have some privacy,
725
00:23:40,967 --> 00:23:43,166
bring her friends in,
watch movies,
726
00:23:43,166 --> 00:23:45,000
make snacks. It's about her.
727
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,100
It's not really anybody else's
design perspective.
728
00:23:48,100 --> 00:23:50,166
I think Angelica's gonna
love this space.
729
00:23:50,166 --> 00:23:51,767
I'm a little jealous. I didn't
have anything like this
730
00:23:51,767 --> 00:23:53,433
when I was her age.
731
00:23:55,867 --> 00:23:58,100
[Michael]
While the details are
coming together downstairs,
732
00:23:58,100 --> 00:24:00,066
we're also
finishing off our utilities,
733
00:24:00,066 --> 00:24:01,367
starting with the electrical.
734
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,266
-Frankie.
-Hey, Mike.
735
00:24:03,266 --> 00:24:04,700
We're installing
the EV charger I see.
736
00:24:04,700 --> 00:24:06,700
Final touches, buddy.
Final touches.
737
00:24:06,700 --> 00:24:07,800
Frank and Maria plan on
738
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,467
passing this home
down to Angelica,
739
00:24:09,467 --> 00:24:11,700
so we want to make sure that
we future-proof this home.
740
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:13,967
We might as well
incorporate an EV charger
741
00:24:13,967 --> 00:24:15,800
in their garage,
just in case Angelica
742
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,700
one day wants to have
an electric vehicle.
743
00:24:17,700 --> 00:24:19,667
We did the service upgrade
to 200 amps,
744
00:24:19,667 --> 00:24:22,100
and now we put in
a brand-new 50-amp breaker
745
00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:23,266
for our new EV.
746
00:24:23,266 --> 00:24:25,300
[Michael] Since the EV charger
requires a lot of power,
747
00:24:25,300 --> 00:24:27,266
we've upgraded the panel
to make sure
748
00:24:27,266 --> 00:24:29,266
that it can handle
the required load.
749
00:24:29,266 --> 00:24:31,467
Lookit. You can buy
an EV charger kit.
750
00:24:31,467 --> 00:24:32,867
However, it should always be
751
00:24:32,867 --> 00:24:34,367
a licensed
electrical contractor
752
00:24:34,367 --> 00:24:36,166
that installs your EV charger.
753
00:24:36,166 --> 00:24:38,100
You don't know
there's a problem
until there's a problem.
754
00:24:38,100 --> 00:24:39,567
-Correct.
-[Michael]
Whether that's a fire,
755
00:24:39,567 --> 00:24:41,367
whether something
happens to your car.
756
00:24:41,367 --> 00:24:43,166
So it's important
to hire a professional,
757
00:24:43,166 --> 00:24:45,567
-get a permit,
cover your butt.
-[Frankie] Always.
758
00:24:45,567 --> 00:24:47,133
Let's turn that on.
759
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,967
[Mike] As Frank
upgrades the electrical,
760
00:24:51,967 --> 00:24:53,867
we've also upgraded the HVAC
761
00:24:53,867 --> 00:24:55,867
by way of an ERV.
762
00:24:55,867 --> 00:24:58,367
An Energy Recovery
Ventilation unit.
763
00:24:58,367 --> 00:25:00,400
Which brings fresh air
into the house
764
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,100
and helps manage moisture.
765
00:25:02,100 --> 00:25:04,166
It will cycle the air
in your home,
766
00:25:04,166 --> 00:25:07,500
all fresh air inside,
all stale air outside.
767
00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:08,533
Maria was telling us
768
00:25:08,533 --> 00:25:10,066
that she's having trouble
breathing in the home.
769
00:25:10,066 --> 00:25:11,967
She was worried
about the air quality.
770
00:25:11,967 --> 00:25:14,467
We already know that
80% of the houses out there,
771
00:25:14,467 --> 00:25:16,767
indoor air quality
does not match
772
00:25:16,767 --> 00:25:17,667
-outdoor air quality.
-No.
773
00:25:17,667 --> 00:25:18,600
When we first came in here,
774
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,166
they had a big 10-inch line
775
00:25:20,166 --> 00:25:21,700
that tapped into
the air return.
776
00:25:22,166 --> 00:25:23,233
It was totally wrong.
777
00:25:23,233 --> 00:25:25,100
All it was doing was pulling
way too much moisture
778
00:25:25,100 --> 00:25:26,700
and never mind bugs, etc.
779
00:25:26,700 --> 00:25:29,367
Where an Energy Recovery
Ventilation unit,
780
00:25:29,367 --> 00:25:30,967
it's got this paper inside,
781
00:25:30,967 --> 00:25:32,166
and it helps
782
00:25:32,166 --> 00:25:33,767
keep the moisture in
783
00:25:33,767 --> 00:25:35,600
to a level that is necessary.
784
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:36,700
And energy efficient.
785
00:25:36,700 --> 00:25:38,000
She's gonna
come in here and love this.
786
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,300
She's gonna breathe well.
787
00:25:43,667 --> 00:25:44,467
Are you gonna be
788
00:25:44,467 --> 00:25:46,000
the instruction
person today, Sher?
789
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,066
We're almost done
in the backyard.
790
00:25:47,066 --> 00:25:49,266
All we have to do
is put up one little shed.
791
00:25:49,266 --> 00:25:50,166
Should be easy.
792
00:25:50,166 --> 00:25:51,500
Put that on the back, though.
It has...
793
00:25:51,500 --> 00:25:53,667
-Put it on the back? Why?
-...a little flex
in the plastic.
794
00:25:53,667 --> 00:25:54,800
We don't need to see that.
795
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,500
[Mike]
So, just out of curiosity...
796
00:25:57,300 --> 00:25:58,367
[Sherry] No, like,
797
00:25:58,367 --> 00:25:59,667
-I just said
put it in the back.
-The back, Dad.
798
00:25:59,667 --> 00:26:01,567
I'm just looking.
799
00:26:01,567 --> 00:26:03,066
-[Sherry] Yeah, this is right.
-No, it's the other way, Sher.
800
00:26:03,066 --> 00:26:05,400
Because that's like that.
Thank you.
801
00:26:07,867 --> 00:26:08,900
No, this is wrong.
802
00:26:10,266 --> 00:26:12,100
Look, you're missing holes.
803
00:26:12,100 --> 00:26:14,967
Today I'm working with
oil and water.
804
00:26:14,967 --> 00:26:16,967
There's only one, so we'll
put the window over here.
805
00:26:16,967 --> 00:26:18,100
No, that's gonna be
the door, isn't it?
806
00:26:18,100 --> 00:26:19,367
I would put the door here.
807
00:26:20,567 --> 00:26:22,967
The two of you,
hug it out right now.
808
00:26:22,967 --> 00:26:24,166
-She's not in a hugging mood.
-[Sherry] No.
809
00:26:24,166 --> 00:26:25,166
Nobody hug me.
810
00:26:25,166 --> 00:26:27,100
I think you're upset
because I took
811
00:26:27,100 --> 00:26:29,700
the instructions from you
just to look at them.
812
00:26:29,700 --> 00:26:31,700
Everything clicks in
and then you screw it.
813
00:26:31,700 --> 00:26:32,467
Yes.
814
00:26:32,467 --> 00:26:34,166
Like, all I'm reading
is click.
815
00:26:34,166 --> 00:26:36,100
Click, click, click.
816
00:26:36,900 --> 00:26:37,767
Did it click?
817
00:26:37,767 --> 00:26:39,266
It did make
818
00:26:39,266 --> 00:26:42,367
a very clicking-like sound.
819
00:26:42,367 --> 00:26:44,300
What happened
with the clicking...
820
00:26:44,300 --> 00:26:46,467
-Is we are not clicking.
-...was we didn't click today.
821
00:26:46,467 --> 00:26:47,867
Yeah, yeah.
822
00:26:47,867 --> 00:26:49,567
You can put that in last.
823
00:26:49,567 --> 00:26:51,567
But you'd like
to do it now, right?
824
00:26:51,567 --> 00:26:52,500
I might.
825
00:26:52,500 --> 00:26:53,600
Why don't we...
826
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,100
I have this crazy idea.
827
00:26:55,100 --> 00:26:58,500
We follow the instructions
and do this wall.
828
00:26:58,500 --> 00:26:59,433
[Sherry] Here,
do you want to do that?
829
00:26:59,433 --> 00:27:01,367
[Michael] No, I'm just
bringing this over.
830
00:27:01,367 --> 00:27:03,100
Yeah, the window's
definitely last.
831
00:27:03,467 --> 00:27:04,667
Peace.
832
00:27:04,667 --> 00:27:06,667
[Sherry] Who cares what order
the window goes in?
833
00:27:06,667 --> 00:27:07,900
-[Mike] It's okay, Sher.
-[Sherry] Go get coffee!
834
00:27:07,900 --> 00:27:08,867
[Mike] It's okay, Sher.
835
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,100
Yeah, the window's
definitely last.
836
00:27:14,467 --> 00:27:15,667
Peace.
837
00:27:15,667 --> 00:27:17,667
Who cares what order
the window goes in?
838
00:27:17,667 --> 00:27:19,166
-[Mike] It's okay, Sher.
-[Sherry] Go get coffee!
839
00:27:19,166 --> 00:27:19,900
[Mike] It's okay, Sher.
840
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:22,967
I felt, to be honest,
841
00:27:22,967 --> 00:27:24,667
that it was time
for me to walk away
842
00:27:24,667 --> 00:27:25,533
and let you guys do it.
843
00:27:25,533 --> 00:27:27,000
Because I felt
a little bit of tension
844
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,300
-with the clicking.
-[softly] No.
845
00:27:28,300 --> 00:27:29,567
-[in normal voice] No.
-I didn't hear any clicking.
846
00:27:29,567 --> 00:27:31,166
-Did you?
-I don't know where
you picked that up from.
847
00:27:31,166 --> 00:27:32,133
Yeah, that's so strange.
848
00:27:32,133 --> 00:27:34,000
Sometimes the coach
just has to take a seat.
849
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,600
Let the players play!
850
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:36,567
[Mike] That's right.
851
00:27:37,100 --> 00:27:38,667
-Get.
-That's right.
852
00:27:38,667 --> 00:27:40,567
Okay, I think
I'm in on my side.
853
00:27:42,166 --> 00:27:44,467
Oh, and then you need those
same little screw things.
854
00:27:45,100 --> 00:27:46,266
-These guys.
-[Michael] Oh.
855
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,266
I'm not saying that Dad
856
00:27:50,266 --> 00:27:51,367
isn't the problem.
857
00:27:51,900 --> 00:27:53,367
But with Dad not here...
858
00:27:53,367 --> 00:27:54,667
There isn't a problem.
859
00:27:55,867 --> 00:27:56,700
Huh.
860
00:27:56,700 --> 00:27:57,667
More this side.
861
00:28:00,967 --> 00:28:02,166
Oh, it's going in well.
862
00:28:02,900 --> 00:28:04,533
Yay! You did it.
863
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,100
[Mike] We're at
the Holmes stretch
864
00:28:08,100 --> 00:28:09,567
for Maria and Frank's
house here,
865
00:28:09,567 --> 00:28:10,700
and I got to say,
866
00:28:10,700 --> 00:28:12,166
I think it looks amazing.
867
00:28:13,567 --> 00:28:15,867
Do you remember
where this job started?
868
00:28:15,867 --> 00:28:16,900
-[Mike] From a leak.
-[Sherry] From a leak
869
00:28:16,900 --> 00:28:17,967
into the basement.
870
00:28:17,967 --> 00:28:19,266
[Michael] Lookit,
this wasn't just about
871
00:28:19,266 --> 00:28:20,800
fixing Maria
and Frank's problem.
872
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,200
This was about restoring
their trust in the trades.
873
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:24,500
They had such a bad experience
874
00:28:24,500 --> 00:28:25,600
with the previous contractor
875
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,800
that they were just too afraid
to hire anyone else.
876
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,166
Twenty years
cleaning up water,
cleaning up water.
877
00:28:30,166 --> 00:28:32,400
We call it
renovation paralysis.
878
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,066
So it takes a contractor
good enough to come in,
879
00:28:35,066 --> 00:28:36,867
restore that faith
in the homeowners,
880
00:28:36,867 --> 00:28:38,667
and also do the job right.
881
00:28:38,667 --> 00:28:40,667
[Sherry] We have had
so many different trades
of professionals
882
00:28:40,667 --> 00:28:42,100
taking care of them
883
00:28:42,100 --> 00:28:43,500
in their laundry room,
884
00:28:43,500 --> 00:28:44,867
the exterior,
885
00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:46,467
the backyard,
886
00:28:47,266 --> 00:28:48,700
the basement,
887
00:28:48,700 --> 00:28:50,767
that I really feel
when they see this house,
888
00:28:50,767 --> 00:28:52,467
they are going to fall over.
889
00:28:52,467 --> 00:28:53,867
They think they're coming back
890
00:28:53,867 --> 00:28:55,266
to a finished basement
891
00:28:55,266 --> 00:28:56,767
and new grass out back.
892
00:28:56,767 --> 00:28:57,667
That's what they think.
893
00:28:57,667 --> 00:28:59,000
They have no idea
what they're getting.
894
00:29:00,066 --> 00:29:01,100
-Okay.
-[Kim] Go, go, go.
895
00:29:01,100 --> 00:29:02,600
-We got so much to do today.
-[woman] All right.
896
00:29:03,367 --> 00:29:05,600
[Sherry] Today is the day.
897
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,867
We have to unload the truck,
set up the backyard,
898
00:29:07,867 --> 00:29:09,166
rejig the basement.
899
00:29:09,166 --> 00:29:10,000
Okay, so we're just gonna
900
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,700
throw everything
into the middle
901
00:29:11,700 --> 00:29:13,400
and then we'll
figure it out from there.
902
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,000
This is the day
we put the entire house
back together.
903
00:29:17,500 --> 00:29:19,166
So let's go set up
the seating area.
904
00:29:19,166 --> 00:29:21,367
Did you deal with Kim
on how this is gonna be?
905
00:29:21,367 --> 00:29:23,000
Uh, I did.
We've done some talking.
906
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:23,800
We've planned some things out.
907
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,867
So I'm gonna
boss you guys around.
908
00:29:25,867 --> 00:29:28,100
-Oh.
-[Sherry] You're gonna
work for me.
909
00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:29,667
I don't know how
we keep getting back
910
00:29:29,667 --> 00:29:31,467
into this position
where you're in charge.
911
00:29:31,467 --> 00:29:32,500
Get.
912
00:29:32,500 --> 00:29:33,967
I've got to get used to this.
913
00:29:33,967 --> 00:29:35,467
We're going
to move these sofas
914
00:29:35,467 --> 00:29:37,467
and they're actually
going to come across
915
00:29:37,467 --> 00:29:39,567
with the pieces of the turf.
916
00:29:39,567 --> 00:29:40,767
-Oh. A V.
-Yeah, we're gonna create
917
00:29:40,767 --> 00:29:43,066
a V with the coffee table
in the middle
918
00:29:43,066 --> 00:29:45,066
on the turf. There you go.
919
00:29:45,066 --> 00:29:46,667
[Michael]
I mean, it looks nice.
920
00:29:49,100 --> 00:29:51,500
-[Sherry] So these two
are gonna come here.
-These two, okay.
921
00:29:51,500 --> 00:29:52,500
Here I can...
922
00:29:56,667 --> 00:29:57,967
Let's try this way.
923
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,800
-So we are gonna do
outdoor dining table.
-[Michael] Okay.
924
00:30:03,100 --> 00:30:04,900
[Sherry] This is gonna
line up here in the center.
925
00:30:05,967 --> 00:30:07,667
Dining chair cushions.
926
00:30:08,767 --> 00:30:10,100
Yeah, you pass me that.
927
00:30:12,166 --> 00:30:13,433
Good pass.
928
00:30:15,900 --> 00:30:17,500
I'll do the heavy lifting
over here.
929
00:30:17,500 --> 00:30:18,867
Someone's got to do
the heavy lifting.
930
00:30:20,300 --> 00:30:22,100
[Sherry] Oh, yeah.
This is actually really cozy.
931
00:30:22,100 --> 00:30:24,300
It's a good
slumber party sofa.
932
00:30:24,300 --> 00:30:25,367
[Michael] You guys
take it easy, okay?
933
00:30:25,367 --> 00:30:27,000
I'll get the ottomans.
Don't worry.
934
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,333
[Sherry]
Listen, it's a hot day.
935
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,166
Not every basement leak
means you need to dig up
936
00:30:34,166 --> 00:30:35,667
the whole outside
of the house.
937
00:30:35,667 --> 00:30:36,800
But it is something
938
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,800
you need to pay attention to.
939
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,567
If you see a leak
in your basement,
940
00:30:40,567 --> 00:30:43,000
start paying attention
to these three things.
941
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,066
Grade.
942
00:30:44,066 --> 00:30:46,667
In other words, does the grade
run to your house?
943
00:30:46,667 --> 00:30:49,000
Number two.
Where are the downspouts?
944
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,667
Are they directing water
towards your foundation?
945
00:30:51,667 --> 00:30:53,667
If so, that's not good.
946
00:30:53,667 --> 00:30:55,300
Number three. Windows.
947
00:30:55,300 --> 00:30:56,767
Is it coming from that area?
948
00:30:56,767 --> 00:30:58,000
Now, for this house,
949
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,467
we pretty much have
all three problems.
950
00:31:00,467 --> 00:31:02,166
Add on top of it,
951
00:31:02,166 --> 00:31:03,367
a minimum coat.
952
00:31:03,367 --> 00:31:05,066
Waterproofing around
the house.
953
00:31:05,066 --> 00:31:06,467
You got a recipe for disaster.
954
00:31:06,467 --> 00:31:07,800
For Frank and Maria,
955
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,667
this gave us an opportunity
956
00:31:09,667 --> 00:31:11,767
to expand on
what we were doing. Why?
957
00:31:11,767 --> 00:31:14,066
We had to dig on
the outside of the house
958
00:31:14,066 --> 00:31:15,667
to waterproof the foundation.
959
00:31:15,667 --> 00:31:17,667
We had to redirect the water.
960
00:31:18,467 --> 00:31:21,767
We created
a whole outside scape.
961
00:31:21,767 --> 00:31:24,266
Right to the new lawn
at the front curb.
962
00:31:24,266 --> 00:31:26,300
And on the inside
of the house,
963
00:31:26,300 --> 00:31:27,600
it looks pretty good.
964
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,166
Yes, this job got
a little bit big.
965
00:31:30,166 --> 00:31:32,266
But anytime someone tells me
966
00:31:32,266 --> 00:31:33,867
that this is
their forever home
967
00:31:33,867 --> 00:31:35,767
and they're gonna
pass it on to the child,
968
00:31:35,767 --> 00:31:37,400
I'm gonna add
just a little bit more.
969
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,066
That's called love.
970
00:31:39,066 --> 00:31:41,367
I'm really excited that
my family can help rescue
971
00:31:41,367 --> 00:31:43,867
such a wonderful family
in this neighborhood.
972
00:31:43,867 --> 00:31:45,600
And I feel good
about what we do.
973
00:31:46,467 --> 00:31:48,467
What a beautiful day it is
974
00:31:48,467 --> 00:31:49,667
-to come back home.
-[Maria and Angelica] It is.
975
00:31:49,667 --> 00:31:51,166
-Beautiful day, right?
-Yes. Very beautiful.
976
00:31:51,166 --> 00:31:52,467
So glad to see you again.
977
00:31:52,467 --> 00:31:54,000
-Angelica.
-[Sherry] Hi. How are you?
978
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,166
Nice to meet you.
979
00:31:55,166 --> 00:31:56,066
[Sherry] How are we feeling?
980
00:31:56,066 --> 00:31:58,667
Are we anxious,
just excited, happy?
981
00:31:58,667 --> 00:32:01,000
-Anxious, happy, overwhelmed.
-[Angelica] Excited, yes.
982
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:01,934
-Excited?
-[Maria] Um,
983
00:32:01,934 --> 00:32:03,400
I think Frank is
more excited than all of us
984
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,166
-'cause he won't have to do
any more of the mopping.
-[laughs] Yeah.
985
00:32:05,166 --> 00:32:06,266
This has been
an ongoing issue.
986
00:32:06,266 --> 00:32:07,300
For five years
987
00:32:07,300 --> 00:32:08,567
-you've had this problem.
-Mopping.
988
00:32:08,567 --> 00:32:09,600
-[Frank] Yeah, mopping.
-Yeah.
989
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,667
Five years of mopping
and 20 years
990
00:32:11,667 --> 00:32:13,367
-of stress with
this house. So...
-Yeah.
991
00:32:13,367 --> 00:32:14,767
...it probably feels
a little bit overwhelming
992
00:32:14,767 --> 00:32:16,000
-that it's hopefully...
-[Frank] Yeah.
993
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,400
-...come to an end today.
-When you say hopefully,
I trust.
994
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:19,900
All right,
should we go check it out?
995
00:32:19,900 --> 00:32:20,667
-I think so.
-You ready?
996
00:32:20,667 --> 00:32:21,467
[Maria and Angelica] Yes.
997
00:32:21,467 --> 00:32:22,567
Okay.
998
00:32:22,567 --> 00:32:23,800
[Mike] Take a look
at your front porch.
999
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,867
-Oh, my gosh.
-Oh. Pretty.
1000
00:32:31,300 --> 00:32:32,700
[Angelica] Wow.
1001
00:32:32,700 --> 00:32:33,767
[Mike]
We did a lot of digging.
1002
00:32:33,767 --> 00:32:34,900
Oh, my God, did we dig?
1003
00:32:34,900 --> 00:32:36,033
[Michael] We did a lot
1004
00:32:36,033 --> 00:32:37,266
-of digging. Yeah.
-[Sherry] There was
some digging.
1005
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,900
[Mike] We made a hell
of a mess of your property.
1006
00:32:39,900 --> 00:32:41,066
We got to fix that.
1007
00:32:41,066 --> 00:32:42,567
So you got
a whole new front porch,
1008
00:32:42,567 --> 00:32:43,700
new pillars,
1009
00:32:43,700 --> 00:32:44,867
new soffit,
1010
00:32:45,300 --> 00:32:46,367
new everything.
1011
00:32:46,367 --> 00:32:48,200
It looks
so modern and elegant.
1012
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:49,333
It does, yes.
1013
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,867
We wanted to add in some
curb appeal for you guys.
1014
00:32:53,867 --> 00:32:55,266
So as you approach
your front door,
1015
00:32:55,266 --> 00:32:57,066
you really get to see
what your house
1016
00:32:57,066 --> 00:32:58,100
is really about.
1017
00:32:58,867 --> 00:32:59,967
It looks beautiful.
1018
00:32:59,967 --> 00:33:02,567
This is a very fine
interlocking stone.
1019
00:33:02,567 --> 00:33:03,634
-[Maria] Oh, wow.
-[Angelica] Wow.
1020
00:33:03,634 --> 00:33:05,600
And we've also added lights
underneath your step.
1021
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,166
-[Maria] Oh, wow.
-[Angelica] So cool.
1022
00:33:07,166 --> 00:33:08,567
They even changed the door.
1023
00:33:10,667 --> 00:33:11,867
[Michael]
Your old front door...
1024
00:33:11,867 --> 00:33:13,467
-[Maria] Yes.
-[Michael]...it was
not energy efficient.
1025
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:15,900
Now with that one single door,
1026
00:33:15,900 --> 00:33:17,166
it's much more
energy efficient.
1027
00:33:17,166 --> 00:33:18,867
And I think it looks
a lot better too.
1028
00:33:18,867 --> 00:33:20,500
-Very nice.
-Very pretty.
1029
00:33:20,500 --> 00:33:22,467
[Mike] All new grass with,
1030
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,667
Frank's gonna like this,
1031
00:33:24,667 --> 00:33:26,367
in-ground sprinkler system.
1032
00:33:26,367 --> 00:33:28,567
Oh. I don't have to water
the grass anymore.
1033
00:33:28,567 --> 00:33:29,600
He's always complaining
1034
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,667
-how all the grass looks dry.
-[Angelica] Yeah.
1035
00:33:31,667 --> 00:33:33,667
-[Maria] Look how green
it is. It's beautiful.
-[Michael] Oh, it's green.
1036
00:33:33,667 --> 00:33:36,500
The plants, everything's
just beautiful. Very nice.
1037
00:33:36,500 --> 00:33:38,567
We're glad that
you like the outside so far.
1038
00:33:38,567 --> 00:33:40,266
-Yeah.
-[Michael] This is
just the beginning.
1039
00:33:40,266 --> 00:33:41,800
So why don't we
work our way inside,
1040
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,000
see what else we did.
1041
00:33:43,900 --> 00:33:46,367
[Mike] And before we actually
go into the basement,
1042
00:33:46,367 --> 00:33:48,166
Sherry didn't like
your laundry room.
1043
00:33:48,166 --> 00:33:49,166
I'm sorry.
1044
00:33:49,166 --> 00:33:50,300
-Okay.
-[Sherry] We used it
as an entry point
1045
00:33:50,300 --> 00:33:51,867
a lot in your house.
1046
00:33:51,867 --> 00:33:53,367
And coming in and out
of the garage, I just thought
it was a little cramped.
1047
00:33:53,367 --> 00:33:54,400
Didn't make sense.
1048
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:55,700
-Okay.
-[Michael] So,
1049
00:33:55,700 --> 00:33:57,300
we had to do a few updates.
1050
00:33:57,300 --> 00:33:59,100
So go ahead, open the door
and take a look
1051
00:33:59,100 --> 00:34:01,100
-at your old laundry room.
-Okay.
1052
00:34:03,100 --> 00:34:05,767
[Maria and Angelica]
Oh, my gosh.
1053
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,767
[both] Oh, my gosh.
1054
00:34:14,367 --> 00:34:16,767
-[Maria] Oh, it's beautiful.
-[Angelica] It is pretty.
1055
00:34:16,767 --> 00:34:17,800
[Frank] Beautiful.
1056
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,266
[Maria] So spacious in here.
So much room.
1057
00:34:19,266 --> 00:34:21,600
-Every time we would bump
into each other all the time.
-I know.
1058
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:22,667
Sherry, good call.
1059
00:34:22,667 --> 00:34:23,567
And you guys use the garage
1060
00:34:23,567 --> 00:34:25,000
as your main entrance
a lot of the time.
1061
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:25,934
[Maria] We do.
1062
00:34:25,934 --> 00:34:27,500
-Thank you guys so much.
-Thank you so much.
1063
00:34:27,500 --> 00:34:28,433
You're very welcome.
1064
00:34:28,433 --> 00:34:30,600
I promise you still have
a washer and dryer.
1065
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:31,967
You're gonna be able
to do laundry
1066
00:34:31,967 --> 00:34:33,767
-somewhere in the house.
You have to find it.
-Darn.
1067
00:34:33,767 --> 00:34:35,400
-I still have to do laundry?
-[Mike] Come on out.
1068
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,300
And we're gonna go downstairs
if you're ready for this one.
1069
00:34:39,066 --> 00:34:39,967
[Maria gasps]
1070
00:34:39,967 --> 00:34:42,066
-[Angelica] Oh, my goodness!
-[Maria] Oh!
1071
00:34:42,066 --> 00:34:43,900
Oh, God, look how beautiful.
1072
00:34:47,867 --> 00:34:49,400
[Angelica] Oh, my gosh.
1073
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:50,533
[Maria] Beautiful.
1074
00:34:50,533 --> 00:34:52,100
-Doesn't look like
our basement, that's for sure.
-No.
1075
00:34:52,100 --> 00:34:53,533
[Frank] Doesn't look like
our basement at all.
1076
00:34:53,533 --> 00:34:55,300
-[Maria] Does not
look like our basement.
-[Angelica] No, it doesn't.
1077
00:34:55,300 --> 00:34:56,100
[Maria] I love it.
1078
00:34:56,100 --> 00:34:57,367
I see what you're wearing.
1079
00:34:57,367 --> 00:35:00,200
Sort of color-coordinated
with the basement,
don't you think?
1080
00:35:02,266 --> 00:35:04,767
[Sherry] Well, Angelica,
this space is for you.
1081
00:35:04,767 --> 00:35:05,767
[Maria] Isn't it beautiful?
1082
00:35:05,767 --> 00:35:07,500
[Angelica] It's...
Oh, my God, it's so pretty.
1083
00:35:07,500 --> 00:35:09,300
[Sherry] You needed a space
to bring your friends home to
1084
00:35:09,300 --> 00:35:11,166
or a place where you can feel
a little bit more comfortable,
1085
00:35:11,166 --> 00:35:12,900
you guys can
separate a little bit.
1086
00:35:12,900 --> 00:35:14,400
So we wanted to make sure that
1087
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,300
this is where a teenage girl
wanted to hang out.
1088
00:35:17,300 --> 00:35:19,000
-[Maria] Are you happy?
-I'm very happy.
1089
00:35:20,266 --> 00:35:22,166
-I'm just shocked. Thank you.
-[Maria] I'm happy
for you, too.
1090
00:35:22,166 --> 00:35:23,200
You're very welcome.
1091
00:35:24,166 --> 00:35:25,567
We've now
waterproofed the outside,
1092
00:35:25,567 --> 00:35:27,000
so there's gonna be no more
1093
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,400
mopping up water
in the basement.
1094
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:29,867
-Very nice.
-[Mike] Maria, for you,
1095
00:35:29,867 --> 00:35:31,467
because you had
trouble breathing,
1096
00:35:32,500 --> 00:35:36,000
so in your furnace room,
we have put in an ERV,
1097
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,767
so that's Energy Recovery
Ventilation unit.
1098
00:35:38,767 --> 00:35:40,166
Remember that old pipe that...
1099
00:35:40,166 --> 00:35:41,467
-[Maria] Yeah.
-[Mike]...should not
have been there?
1100
00:35:41,467 --> 00:35:42,800
-[Maria] Mm-hmm.
-[Mike] That was taken out.
1101
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,767
Putting in the new ERV
is gonna bring in
1102
00:35:44,767 --> 00:35:46,166
the fresh air
and take out the stale air,
1103
00:35:46,166 --> 00:35:47,700
keep you nice and healthy.
1104
00:35:47,700 --> 00:35:48,800
-Wow.
-Yeah.
1105
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,767
It'll always be clean air
in the basement.
1106
00:35:51,767 --> 00:35:53,200
That's, like,
peace of mind right there.
1107
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:54,200
-Yeah.
-For sure.
1108
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:55,600
I just wanted to mention,
we do have a little
1109
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,767
office space
in this nook here.
1110
00:35:57,767 --> 00:35:58,900
[Angelica] Oh, my gosh.
1111
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,100
[Sherry]
So if you have schoolwork
you need to get done,
1112
00:36:04,100 --> 00:36:05,767
you have a desk
in the corner here.
1113
00:36:05,767 --> 00:36:07,567
[Angelica] Oh, my gosh. Look.
1114
00:36:07,567 --> 00:36:09,400
-[Maria]
"Being kind is beautiful."
-[Angelica] Oh, my gosh.
1115
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:10,300
[Maria] So her.
1116
00:36:11,066 --> 00:36:12,800
Everything is just
so beautiful.
1117
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,000
You took care
of the leaky basement,
1118
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,000
but this is way beyond
what we expected.
1119
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,100
It's just elegant, beautiful.
1120
00:36:20,100 --> 00:36:22,367
I'm just so happy
for Angelica to have
1121
00:36:22,367 --> 00:36:23,700
a space where
she can hang out with
1122
00:36:23,700 --> 00:36:25,667
her friends and her cousins.
1123
00:36:25,667 --> 00:36:27,000
-And you deserve it.
-Thank you.
1124
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,367
You deserve it, sweetie.
1125
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,300
-Would you like
to see the bathroom?
-[Maria] Yes.
1126
00:36:31,300 --> 00:36:32,266
-[Frank and Angelica] Yes.
-Come on.
1127
00:36:33,767 --> 00:36:34,667
[Maria gasps]
1128
00:36:34,667 --> 00:36:37,000
-[Angelica] Oh, my goodness.
-[Maria] Oh.
1129
00:36:41,500 --> 00:36:43,567
Oh, God. Look how beautiful.
1130
00:36:43,567 --> 00:36:44,433
[Angelica] I'm speechless.
1131
00:36:44,433 --> 00:36:46,367
[Maria] I'm telling you,
this is amazing.
1132
00:36:46,367 --> 00:36:48,367
-Oh, look at this.
-Wow.
1133
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,567
[Maria] Look at... Oh!
1134
00:36:51,567 --> 00:36:52,867
We got new machines.
1135
00:36:52,867 --> 00:36:54,100
Amazing.
1136
00:36:54,100 --> 00:36:56,166
[Sherry] So now you actually
have the space you needed
1137
00:36:56,166 --> 00:36:57,567
-to do laundry.
-[Maria and Angelica] Yes.
1138
00:36:57,567 --> 00:36:58,600
[Angelica] Wow.
1139
00:36:58,600 --> 00:36:59,900
I didn't think
the washer and dryer
1140
00:36:59,900 --> 00:37:01,467
-would be here as well...
-Yeah.
1141
00:37:01,467 --> 00:37:02,967
-[Maria]...but this
is beautiful. It works.
-[Angelica] It's amazing. Wow.
1142
00:37:02,967 --> 00:37:04,667
And you got
the counter space up here.
1143
00:37:04,667 --> 00:37:06,166
You can fold
your clothes up here.
1144
00:37:06,166 --> 00:37:07,367
[Sherry] Yeah.
You have an area
1145
00:37:07,367 --> 00:37:08,867
-to hang your clothes,
put away the silks.
-[Maria] Yes.
1146
00:37:08,867 --> 00:37:10,100
-[Angelica] Yeah.
-[Sherry] A laundry room sink.
1147
00:37:10,100 --> 00:37:11,567
Yeah. Want to get in there?
1148
00:37:11,567 --> 00:37:12,667
-Can we both fit in here?
-[Mike] Go in there.
1149
00:37:12,667 --> 00:37:14,266
[Maria] Can all three of us
fit in here?
1150
00:37:14,266 --> 00:37:15,600
Yeah. Give it a shot.
1151
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:16,700
[Maria] Let's see.
1152
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:17,567
[Angelica] Wow!
1153
00:37:17,567 --> 00:37:18,867
[Maria]
There's a bench here, too.
1154
00:37:18,867 --> 00:37:20,667
I think I'm just
gonna have to just,
1155
00:37:20,667 --> 00:37:22,867
-you know, live here for
a little bit. I don't know.
-[Angelica chuckles]
1156
00:37:22,867 --> 00:37:24,767
I'm moving into
the basement, everyone.
1157
00:37:24,767 --> 00:37:25,734
[all laughing]
1158
00:37:25,734 --> 00:37:27,467
-I don't blame you.
-[Maria] It's beautiful.
1159
00:37:27,467 --> 00:37:29,667
[Frank] It looks like
a five-star resort bathroom.
1160
00:37:29,667 --> 00:37:30,867
-[Maria] It does.
-[Frank] And it's got
a laundry room.
1161
00:37:30,867 --> 00:37:32,567
I'm not gonna want to leave.
1162
00:37:35,867 --> 00:37:37,600
You know that
the scope of this place
1163
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:38,867
wasn't just the basement.
1164
00:37:38,867 --> 00:37:41,100
It's like we had wrecked
1165
00:37:41,100 --> 00:37:42,867
the entire outside
of your property.
1166
00:37:42,867 --> 00:37:44,033
-Yes.
-Yes.
1167
00:37:44,033 --> 00:37:46,500
So why don't I go show you
the outside of your property?
1168
00:37:46,500 --> 00:37:47,567
-[Maria] Okay.
-Follow me.
1169
00:37:47,567 --> 00:37:49,900
Okay. Let's go see.
1170
00:37:49,900 --> 00:37:52,166
So all you're seeing here
doesn't just look good.
1171
00:37:52,166 --> 00:37:54,367
This serves
the purpose of controlling
1172
00:37:54,367 --> 00:37:55,367
storm water management.
1173
00:37:56,066 --> 00:37:57,467
[Maria] Very nice.
1174
00:37:57,467 --> 00:37:59,500
[Mike] This was nothing
but sopping wet.
1175
00:37:59,500 --> 00:38:01,700
[Sherry] There was
a river back here
between the houses.
1176
00:38:01,700 --> 00:38:03,367
[Mike] You're not gonna
have that problem again.
1177
00:38:03,367 --> 00:38:05,166
We've diverted it
down this path.
1178
00:38:05,166 --> 00:38:06,867
-Thank you so much.
-If your neighbor's happy,
1179
00:38:06,867 --> 00:38:08,166
you're gonna be happy.
1180
00:38:08,166 --> 00:38:10,266
I'm more than happy
with everything.
1181
00:38:10,266 --> 00:38:11,467
You told me at the beginning,
1182
00:38:11,467 --> 00:38:13,500
"This is our forever home."
1183
00:38:13,500 --> 00:38:14,533
Yes.
1184
00:38:14,533 --> 00:38:16,600
"And we are going to
make sure Angelica gets it."
1185
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:17,367
-Yeah.
-Yes.
1186
00:38:17,367 --> 00:38:18,700
And I said to you
1187
00:38:18,700 --> 00:38:21,700
that I'm gonna do
something very special.
1188
00:38:23,066 --> 00:38:24,400
-[Maria] Yeah.
-Do you want
to see what I did?
1189
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:25,367
Yes, I do.
1190
00:38:27,066 --> 00:38:29,767
-Oh, my God.
-Oh, my God.
1191
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,867
-[Maria] This is amazing.
-[Angelica] Wow.
1192
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:37,567
It's amazing.
1193
00:38:37,567 --> 00:38:38,700
[Maria] This is beautiful.
1194
00:38:38,700 --> 00:38:41,000
Looks a lot different.
Way different.
1195
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,100
-[Maria] I would say.
-[Angelica] Yeah.
1196
00:38:42,100 --> 00:38:43,867
[Sherry] Definitely.
We pulled apart that deck
1197
00:38:43,867 --> 00:38:45,367
with our hands
for the most part.
1198
00:38:45,367 --> 00:38:46,767
[Maria] That deck
was falling apart.
1199
00:38:46,767 --> 00:38:48,467
-[Sherry] It was, yes.
-[Maria] It was. Yeah.
1200
00:38:48,467 --> 00:38:50,166
-[Mike] What do I have now?
-[Maria] Everything.
1201
00:38:51,266 --> 00:38:52,767
And you know what?
1202
00:38:52,767 --> 00:38:55,667
We can make things look good
but we do things for a reason.
1203
00:38:55,667 --> 00:38:56,567
-Yeah.
-Yes.
1204
00:38:56,567 --> 00:38:57,567
[Mike] Here's what we did.
1205
00:38:57,567 --> 00:38:59,400
We dug down about two feet.
1206
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:00,300
-[Maria] Yep.
-[Angelica] Wow.
1207
00:39:00,300 --> 00:39:01,066
[Mike] Took everything out.
1208
00:39:04,500 --> 00:39:05,300
I mean everything.
1209
00:39:05,300 --> 00:39:07,000
To create a drainage bed
1210
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:08,467
that will now wash
1211
00:39:08,467 --> 00:39:10,600
-underneath this surface.
-[Maria] Mm-hmm.
1212
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,000
[Mike]
It will control the flow
no matter what.
1213
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:13,900
And never
1214
00:39:14,567 --> 00:39:15,567
stay on top of here.
1215
00:39:15,567 --> 00:39:16,433
Oh, wow.
1216
00:39:16,433 --> 00:39:18,467
And there's
no maintenance back here.
1217
00:39:18,467 --> 00:39:20,500
All the grass back here
is just turf.
1218
00:39:20,500 --> 00:39:21,567
-[Mike] Turf.
-[Angelica] Wow.
1219
00:39:21,567 --> 00:39:22,567
[Mike] Astro turf.
1220
00:39:22,567 --> 00:39:24,100
[Sherry] You can
come back here
and just enjoy.
1221
00:39:24,100 --> 00:39:25,767
[Maria] We never
used it outside. Like we...
1222
00:39:25,767 --> 00:39:26,634
-[Angelica] No.
-[Maria]...never sat down
1223
00:39:26,634 --> 00:39:28,166
-and actually literally...
-Enjoyed it.
1224
00:39:28,166 --> 00:39:29,567
...enjoyed it as a family.
1225
00:39:29,567 --> 00:39:30,867
We were talking about
1226
00:39:30,867 --> 00:39:32,500
giving you different
zones back here.
1227
00:39:34,066 --> 00:39:35,667
And now you have
a spot outside.
1228
00:39:37,867 --> 00:39:40,100
This is a zone that you can
hang out when it's raining,
1229
00:39:40,100 --> 00:39:42,166
when it's snowing,
when it's sunny.
1230
00:39:42,166 --> 00:39:43,600
-All year round.
-Wow.
1231
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,967
This is a place you can relax
and breathe easy.
1232
00:39:45,967 --> 00:39:49,000
I'm just feeling so,
like, relaxed.
1233
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,266
It's so welcoming.
1234
00:39:50,266 --> 00:39:51,600
It's beautiful out here.
1235
00:39:52,066 --> 00:39:53,200
[Sherry] The backyard
1236
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:54,967
went from being
a spot that they
1237
00:39:54,967 --> 00:39:56,667
couldn't really enjoy
1238
00:39:56,667 --> 00:39:57,967
to now being something I think
1239
00:39:57,967 --> 00:39:59,266
they're gonna spend
the most time in.
1240
00:39:59,266 --> 00:40:01,567
Kim custom did
all of those cushion covers.
1241
00:40:02,700 --> 00:40:04,100
You have a great shed
to put them in
1242
00:40:04,100 --> 00:40:05,500
so that they're
taken care of all year round.
1243
00:40:05,500 --> 00:40:07,000
[Frank] Beautiful. Thank you.
1244
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,700
[Maria] I love the colors.
Everything works so nicely.
1245
00:40:13,266 --> 00:40:14,867
The backyard
was a huge surprise.
1246
00:40:14,867 --> 00:40:15,900
I didn't expect it.
1247
00:40:15,900 --> 00:40:17,367
It is so beautiful.
1248
00:40:17,367 --> 00:40:20,100
To have this
for generations to come
1249
00:40:20,100 --> 00:40:21,500
means everything to me.
1250
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:23,800
I'm never gonna forget
1251
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,367
what you guys have done
for our family.
1252
00:40:26,367 --> 00:40:27,767
We're all parents.
1253
00:40:27,767 --> 00:40:29,867
We know how much
our kids mean to us.
1254
00:40:29,867 --> 00:40:31,867
-Yeah.
-[Michael]
Family's everything.
1255
00:40:31,867 --> 00:40:33,900
And we wanted to
future-proof this for you.
1256
00:40:33,900 --> 00:40:35,066
We wanted to make sure that
1257
00:40:35,066 --> 00:40:37,166
you don't have to worry about
hiring a contractor again.
1258
00:40:37,166 --> 00:40:38,400
You don't have to worry about
1259
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:39,600
Angelica dealing with
1260
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,100
-any issues in the home.
-No.
1261
00:40:41,100 --> 00:40:42,000
[Michael] It's waterproof.
1262
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:43,700
It's safe.
1263
00:40:44,767 --> 00:40:45,867
You have a space to hang out.
1264
00:40:46,767 --> 00:40:49,367
And you have a space
to go enjoy the outdoors.
1265
00:40:49,367 --> 00:40:51,166
-Give me a hug.
-Thank you so much, Mike.
1266
00:40:51,166 --> 00:40:52,467
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
1267
00:40:52,467 --> 00:40:53,800
It's got to feel good
1268
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,000
to be able to let go
of 20 years of anxiety.
1269
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,400
I think that's all gone
as of today.
1270
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,767
[Maria] It's a load
off my shoulders for sure
1271
00:41:01,767 --> 00:41:04,000
knowing that everything's
been done right and properly.
1272
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,767
And I feel like
I can breathe better now.
1273
00:41:06,767 --> 00:41:08,667
[Sherry] This job didn't have
to be this big.
1274
00:41:08,667 --> 00:41:10,100
It was a leak in the basement.
1275
00:41:10,100 --> 00:41:12,400
We could have left it
at something much smaller
than what it was.
1276
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:13,467
But it feels good
1277
00:41:13,467 --> 00:41:15,000
to give back that much
to someone else.
1278
00:41:15,867 --> 00:41:18,467
It's way beyond
what we expected.
1279
00:41:18,467 --> 00:41:21,100
Frank, Maria
and Angelica love it.
1280
00:41:21,100 --> 00:41:22,767
They can close
the chapter of stress.
1281
00:41:22,767 --> 00:41:25,166
They can close
that chapter of heartache.
1282
00:41:25,166 --> 00:41:26,467
And they can
live their lives again.
1283
00:41:26,967 --> 00:41:28,467
It's a new beginning.
1284
00:41:28,467 --> 00:41:31,066
Maria, Frank,
from my family to your family,
1285
00:41:31,066 --> 00:41:32,300
I believe we made it right.
1286
00:41:32,300 --> 00:41:33,066
Cheers.
1287
00:41:33,066 --> 00:41:35,400
[all] Cheers!
1288
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,500
[Maria] Mike and his family,
they've treated us so well.
1289
00:41:38,500 --> 00:41:41,100
I consider them
my extended family now too.
1290
00:41:41,100 --> 00:41:43,166
And you can see that they
really love what they do.
1291
00:41:43,166 --> 00:41:44,233
And it shows.
1292
00:41:44,233 --> 00:41:46,467
It shows in the work
that they've done in our home.
1293
00:41:46,467 --> 00:41:49,900
And we're never gonna
forget this. Never.
1294
00:41:49,900 --> 00:41:51,266
[Michael] This is why
we do what we do.
1295
00:41:51,266 --> 00:41:54,000
And I think we just
may have to keep doing it
1296
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,266
for a little more.
