00:00When was this built?
00:011973.
00:02It's a collector's item.
00:03Corey and Tori are excited to turn this fixer-upper
00:06into their forever home.
00:07This would be a huge kitchen.
00:09You just lit up.
00:10She's smiling big.
00:12But once the walls come crashing down.
00:15I want to show you something that we found outside.
00:17Oh, boy.
00:18We've uncovered some major problems at the house.
00:20So does their budget.
00:22They're pretty much out of funds.
00:23When you feel like you're sucker punched.
00:25With trouble at every turn.
00:28Are you all right?
00:30There's another issue, too, man.
00:32Can Brian and I transform this retro wreck?
00:34What else could we potentially run into?
00:37Into their dream retreat?
00:40Go for it.
00:41Oh, wow.
00:42Oh, man, Brian.
00:43This is looking good so far.
00:45Yeah.
00:46Mika and I build custom homes on fast timelines.
00:49We don't want to carry two mortgages for too long.
00:51Time is money.
00:54We're proof that construction and marriage can mix.
00:57Give me a sweaty hug.
00:58Ugh.
00:58We're still doing new construction.
01:00You ready to break some ground?
01:02But now we're taking bigger risks.
01:05Look at all that black mold behind that wall.
01:07I think we're going to do a shipping container house.
01:10Let's go.
01:10Making bolder decisions.
01:12Put your arm up here.
01:15We've never put it in any other house.
01:17And always racing the clock.
01:19I can't believe they're going to be living inside of this
01:22in less than 100 days.
01:23This is amazing.
01:33This is a big property.
01:35Oh, man.
01:35You can definitely tell that it's got some throwback design
01:38elements.
01:39Yeah.
01:39So today, we're meeting our clients in Brandon, which
01:41is a suburb outside of Tampa.
01:43It's a highly developed, very population-dense area.
01:47There's really not a lot of vacant land.
01:49There's none.
01:49So we're actually going to be taking on a project that's
01:52going to be a renovation of a home that needs
01:54a little bit of updating.
01:56Hi.
01:56How you doing?
01:57I'm Brian.
01:57I'm good.
01:58I'm Victoria.
01:58Nice to meet you.
01:59Oh, man.
02:00Nice to meet you.
02:00Nice to meet you, too.
02:01Nice to meet you as well.
02:02Oh, man.
02:03So congrats on the new property.
02:06Define new.
02:07Listen, it's new.
02:08New to you.
02:09It's new to me.
02:09Yes.
02:10Yes.
02:11When was this built?
02:121973.
02:14So that's a classic.
02:15Yeah.
02:16It's a collector's item.
02:17What really attracted me to it was the winding sidewalk,
02:19because a winding sidewalk is leading you to something, right?
02:22That's right.
02:23Treasure.
02:23I was thinking, yes, I was thinking something cool
02:25is behind that door.
02:26But when I got in, I said, oh, this is going to be a lot of work.
02:30Corey's going to kill me.
02:31He's going to say, what was you thinking?
02:33What did he think?
02:34What did Corey say?
02:36Corey said, what was you thinking?
02:39My name is Corey.
02:41I'm Victoria.
02:42Go by Tori.
02:43We've been married for 38 years.
02:45You made that sound like he was kind of wrong.
02:48That's deep breath.
02:49And we have three children.
02:50We have Nikita, Corey, and Rashad, and they're all
02:52in their 30s.
02:53And we have three grandchildren.
02:55So we were trying to make this our retirement spot.
02:57And we thought the property made you feel like you
02:59wasn't in Brandon.
03:00It's just the outdoor space.
03:01Very relaxing.
03:02It's quiet.
03:03You guys originally from here?
03:05Well, I'm originally from Florida,
03:06and met this young man in a grocery store.
03:09He was in the army.
03:10OK.
03:10And so him and his friend were in their army fatigue.
03:13Looking kind of good, I must admit.
03:14But I wouldn't tell him that then, of course.
03:16We ended up talking all the way to the checkout.
03:18Uh-huh, because he was checking you out.
03:19And you were checking her out.
03:20Yeah, I was going to say.
03:21Yeah.
03:22Yes.
03:23So where are you guys living at right now?
03:25We're living, actually, we're in Fishhawk.
03:26OK, so.
03:27That's a little too far.
03:28No, that's far up the road.
03:29Honestly, it doesn't look too bad.
03:30It's a little dated.
03:31Yeah, it's definitely dated.
03:32But I'm not scared yet.
03:34What I'm more concerned with is what's behind the door
03:36in the inside.
03:37OK.
03:47Obviously, we can see that this has not been remodeled.
03:50It does feel kind of separated.
03:52But I think that was kind of the design trends back then.
03:54Exactly.
03:55When you first walk in, you're staring at a wall.
03:58Right.
03:59The kitchen.
04:00It's behind that wall.
04:01OK, so this is definitely kind of a galley kitchen.
04:04This drop ceiling is so old.
04:06It's so old.
04:07And if you're in here, it's like you can't really tell
04:09what's going on around you.
04:10Exactly.
04:11We want to have a kitchen that's more spacious.
04:13Yeah.
04:14Because we do Thanksgiving for 20 or more.
04:15Birth kids.
04:16We do birthdays.
04:17You can't see anything out here.
04:19I mean, Victoria.
04:20I can.
04:21You probably can.
04:22Yes, I can.
04:23All right, are you guys enjoying your time here?
04:24Yeah.
04:25Can I get you anything?
04:26And then hit your head up there.
04:27Yeah.
04:28We need to relocate this kitchen.
04:30Where are we going to go with this, though?
04:32Right.
04:33I mean, this is a pretty big lanai.
04:34You're just talking about enclosing that in?
04:35There's still a ton of yards, so we wouldn't take away, obviously, all the outdoor space.
04:40This is a lot of square footage.
04:41This is a lot of space.
04:42This would be a huge kitchen.
04:44Look, you just lit up.
04:45She's smiling big, so I feel like we might need to see if we can make this happen.
04:48This is a whole addition out here.
04:49This is a whole addition out here.
04:50It's going to be a lot of work.
04:51I mean, you can see we're not even on the same level as the foundation.
04:54To bring all that plumbing, all that electrical, through the slab, back out to here.
04:58We probably need to figure out what budget we're working with.
05:01We should have asked you that first.
05:03Do you have the same budget in mind, or is it different?
05:05We do.
05:06Our budget's around $285,000.
05:09OK, so that's a pretty good number to be able to do some magical transformation.
05:14But we will need to sell our current house to fully pay for this renovation.
05:19OK, got it.
05:20What other spaces are we thinking?
05:22We need to transform in this house.
05:24Out there?
05:25That space actually is where our pool is.
05:27Pool?
05:28Yes, there is a pool.
05:29Come on out.
05:30Oh.
05:31That's a cesspool.
05:32No, it's a pool.
05:33Really?
05:34That is the greenest pool I've ever seen.
05:37We would like to get the pool resurfaced because it definitely needs it.
05:41OK.
05:42Really, this could be a cool outdoor space.
05:44And now I don't feel guilty that we took away the lanai for the kitchen.
05:46Right, see?
05:47Is there any other areas of the house that we should get our eyes on?
05:49Primary bedroom.
05:50Show me the way.
05:51So you guys, come on in.
05:52This is the primary space right over here.
05:54Whoa!
05:55The room is kind of small.
05:57So if you could see behind you, I guess in the 70s, they really didn't have walk-in closets.
06:02At least not for these type of homes.
06:03Oh, gotcha.
06:04I'm assuming y'all would want to expand the closet.
06:06So if we cut that in, then we're really not going to have a lot of room.
06:09Well, you got the window there too, so you can't come out too far.
06:12Shoot, you're right about that.
06:14There is a bathroom over here.
06:15This is it.
06:16This is it.
06:17What do you envision?
06:18For your dream bathroom.
06:19Walk-in shower, a water closet, just a lot of room.
06:24Then I think we reconfigure this whole side of the house.
06:27What's on the other side of this wall?
06:28Actually, it's considered, I guess, the formal living room.
06:31Yeah.
06:32Look how much space this will give y'all.
06:34You're talking about enclosing this and making this all the main bedroom?
06:38Heck yeah.
06:39Because honestly, are you really going to use this space?
06:41Not really.
06:42No.
06:43Once that comes down, that's your living area.
06:45So you have bedroom, maybe closet in the middle, bathroom.
06:49So you can access the closet from the bathroom or from the bedroom.
06:53What do you think?
06:54I'm feeling you.
06:55Yes.
06:56Do you want to make the bedroom feel like a primary suite?
06:58Because right now, it feels like a guest room.
06:59It does.
07:00We're not done yet.
07:03Just one more space.
07:04What are you talking about?
07:05I work from home.
07:06And I was thinking maybe a small office.
07:08Would you use one of your bedrooms that you have on this side?
07:11No.
07:12Oh, so you want to keep the three extra bedrooms and then also have an office?
07:15Yeah.
07:16Man, okay, so thinking about floor plan, I do find that it's common as you walk in and you do have like that office space off the foyer.
07:23We could create and mimic that here because we do have this area right here.
07:28See?
07:29We can see your vision and we want to make that vision a reality.
07:33$285,000 is a healthy budget, but we are going to have to be very smart on how we spread it since there's so many areas of this house we have to touch.
07:41And with renovations, we don't know what's behind the walls until demo starts.
07:45Right.
07:46Updating this interior is going to be important.
07:48So what kind of style are you going for?
07:50I would like to go with a farmhouse style because I want to bring in the elements from the farm right behind us.
07:57That rustic, tight style.
07:59He's giving me that look already.
08:02I like the modern look, clean.
08:05We are going to do some inspiration tours.
08:07So let's walk through some spaces that are a little bit more updated than this.
08:10Yep, most definitely.
08:11And I think it'll help you have that confidence when we make our design decisions.
08:14Okay.
08:15I'm open to that.
08:16Cool.
08:17This is going to be an adventure for sure.
08:18We're going to have fun.
08:25Satori and Cory, okay.
08:27We've got to figure out the style.
08:28This is kind of a good staple example of farmhouse because you've got the black and white, the shutters.
08:33What are your thoughts?
08:34Well, now that we're here, I think it's a little bit too white.
08:38We need to kind of bring some pop, some color.
08:40Even if it's just a little bit.
08:41It doesn't have to be anything over the top.
08:43Yeah, we need more color.
08:44Okay.
08:45Let's take a look at some interiors.
08:47Come on in.
08:50I like it.
08:51I like it a lot.
08:52Oh, boy.
08:53Oh, boy.
08:54When we lived up north, we had read in our foyer.
08:57It was so inviting when you walked into the house.
09:00It feels real cozy and warm.
09:02Like you just want to sit in front of the fireplace and just, you know, put a blanket over your lap and read a book.
09:08You not feeling me?
09:09No, I'm not feeling it.
09:10I'm feeling like you come in here as it's like a big red bomb.
09:13Boom.
09:14Oh, did he say bomb?
09:16This right here is just too much for me.
09:18So right now Cory is seeing red and it's not a good thing?
09:21No, it's not.
09:22No.
09:23I'm feeling like you come in here as it's like a big red bomb.
09:29Boom.
09:30I think that color belongs outside, in my opinion, on a barn.
09:34This is bold.
09:35It does kind of set the tone for everything else in the room.
09:38Yeah.
09:39And I actually think a lot of the other decor gets lost to me because all I'm really looking at is the red walls.
09:43Good point.
09:44So, you know, maybe we can figure out a compromise where you guys...
09:47One wall.
09:48One accent wall.
09:49One accent wall.
09:50So let's check out a more modern look for you, Cory.
09:53Oh, yeah.
09:54The kitchen space.
09:55Now that we're relocating the kitchen, you have so much space.
09:58I love the stainless steel hood.
10:00It lasts forever.
10:01You just like stainless steel.
10:02Yes.
10:03That's what that is.
10:04Sleek and modern.
10:05Yes.
10:06Yes.
10:07The grays in the stainless steel seems a little bit too modern for me.
10:08I like a little bit light, a little softer and more natural.
10:11What I would like is a nice wood hood.
10:13I think it would look so nice.
10:15Okay.
10:16It's give and take, you know.
10:18And then the backsplash, I would like more like a textured stone so that way you're bringing
10:23some of that...
10:24Organic.
10:25Organic into the kitchen.
10:27No.
10:28Why you say no so fast?
10:30Because you're not going to be the one cleaning it.
10:33I don't like this kitchen.
10:36It's just not the color palettes that I like.
10:39It's just, it's like a lot of lines and you got to stay within the lines.
10:43And I just want to be able to feel free, to feel warm.
10:46I don't like it.
10:50Oh, this space is definitely different.
10:53Oh, this is nice.
10:54I like this kitchen.
10:55It feels very welcoming and does feel extremely nostalgic.
10:59It feels like home, like you just want to put on an apron and start cooking.
11:04And this brings me back into both our mothers because they were both great cooks.
11:07It's very traditional.
11:08Nah.
11:09Don't like it.
11:10At all?
11:11No, I don't like it.
11:12I don't like the green.
11:13I don't like the cream.
11:14Got a farmhouse sink.
11:15Farmhouse sink here.
11:16What do you think about that?
11:17I like this.
11:18This is nice.
11:19I would like to see it in stainless steel.
11:21Not in a farmhouse kitchen.
11:25I like the other one.
11:26It was more cleaner, more modern.
11:27Still have the stainless appliance, though, throughout the rest of the kitchen.
11:30Yes.
11:31Right.
11:32Stainless is a finish that does go with almost everything.
11:33So maybe that's a compromise, is if we do the stainless, you give Tori a farmhouse sink.
11:40Yeah.
11:41OK.
11:42OK.
11:43Hey, that's not bad.
11:44All right.
11:45This kitchen is coming together.
11:46Let's see what else we can find out today.
11:47All right.
11:48Sounds good.
11:49This is what a pool is supposed to look like.
11:52Are you thinking of adding any features to the current pool?
11:55See, they have this little sun shelf, so you can kind of just have a seating area.
11:58That's really cool to be able to watch the grandkids play in the water.
12:01I would love that.
12:02Today, there was a lot of honesty from Tori and Cory, which I very greatly appreciate.
12:07I still feel like we left a lot of cards on the table.
12:10This main suite is really big.
12:12It is.
12:13What do you envision?
12:14A sitting area.
12:15OK.
12:16But we've got a great starting point to get this renovation going.
12:18We definitely don't need a tub.
12:19So is this walk-in shower big enough?
12:22Just a little bit bigger because I'm going to have two shower heads.
12:25One shower head for me and one shower head for her.
12:27OK.
12:28I love that.
12:34All right.
12:35It's one of my favorite days.
12:36I can't wait.
12:37Oh, I know Mika's ready.
12:38I'm ready.
12:39I'm ready.
12:40I usually put X's on the wall.
12:41I feel like I want to say peace out to all these walls.
12:43Oh, man.
12:44This entire middle of this kitchen is completely gone.
12:47This will be open.
12:48Luckily, these are not load-bearing walls.
12:50We definitely have to say peace out to the countertop.
12:53This for Mika is not for Mika.
12:55Bye.
12:56Hey!
12:57Hey!
12:58This is very rare that we have our homeowners helping as part of demo.
13:01You know it's going to get kind of messy before it gets pretty.
13:04Oh, boy.
13:05But this is really the start of the process.
13:07Let's go!
13:08Oh!
13:09Woo!
13:10Let me see how you real feel.
13:13Oh!
13:14There's the view.
13:15Whoa!
13:16Woo!
13:17Wow!
13:18Oh, gamble, gamble!
13:22Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.
13:25It felt real good to tear walls down.
13:28Hey, can you show up to all of our job sites?
13:31Yes.
13:32Okay, so we're almost done.
13:34How you feeling, bud?
13:35You good?
13:36I feel good.
13:37This looks so good.
13:38I'm so excited!
13:39I love how this is a hot mess, and she says it looks so good.
13:42I see the vision now.
13:43There she goes!
13:44Yeah!
13:45Woo!
13:46Yeah!
13:47There we go.
13:48All right, let's get this open.
13:49We got a little bit of electrical here, Brian.
13:50Hey, guys.
13:51I want to show you something that we found outside.
13:52Good something or bad something?
13:53Why don't you come take a look?
13:54Oh, my gosh.
13:55Why does that not sound good?
13:56Oh, boy.
13:57Well, I see Josh digging out there.
13:58Well, so the situation with the footers, there are none.
13:59There are none.
14:00What?
14:01Are you serious?
14:02Ugh.
14:03The situation with the footers, there are none.
14:04What?
14:05Yeah.
14:06The situation with the footers, there are none.
14:07What?
14:08Digging out there. Well, so the situation with the footers there are not there are none. What are you serious?
14:22The situation with the footers, uh, there are none. What?
14:26Like they probably just poured this as a patio and then this was built on top of it afterwards.
14:30It's an old house. So this is just like slab on grade. Yeah. It's plenty strong for a back lanai.
14:37If we're going to add a kitchen out here, we need footers. Yeah. So the thing we got to do is we
14:41got to cut out the slab here where the footers need to go and then add in the extra concrete for
14:47the footers. But now we're adding extra steps, which I think costs extra dollars. For sure.
14:52Uh, well, it's a couple of days extra work and then it's about $6,000 of additional cost.
14:58A $6,000 that Tori and Corey were not planning for. Yeah, that's a good chunk of change.
15:02We're over budget on day one. Ah, shoot. I mean, with the house built back in 1973,
15:08there is definitely going to be some mysteries. Gosh, renovation, you have to be prepared for
15:13anything. I mean, we're supposed to be breaking walls, but now we're breaking bad news.
15:18Now we really could knock something up out. Hey guys, making progress. Wow.
15:25We just found out some news that we want to kind of review with you guys. Yeah.
15:28Obviously we want to use the back lanai for your new dream kitchen, but we were not able to find
15:34any footers. We're going to have to put some rebar under there to kind of make sure that it's
15:39structurally sound. So that's going to cost probably an extra like $6,000.
15:46$6,000. We wasn't expecting that. It's not in the budget.
15:50Hopefully during the design process, maybe we can find some other savings.
15:54But this is a structural thing. We want to make sure that your investment is safe.
15:57We want it to be done right.
16:01Okay. It's got to get done. Your dream kitchen.
16:04Oh, so it's back on me now. Yes.
16:06All right. Well, let's continue to break some walls and we'll try not to break the budget
16:10any more than we do. Day one, guys. Come on.
16:12I know. Day one. Just remember that.
16:13This is the first pool I've ever demoed. I mean, it looks like a swamp out here.
16:30Yeah. This should be exciting. Now the demo's begun on the inside. It's time to start working
16:36on the pool. But first, we have to empty all this water out. I got to save this frog real quick.
16:40Come here, buddy. We got to find you a real pond. Otherwise, you're going to croak in here.
16:45It's going to take a couple more hours to drain this all the way down and then we demo.
16:56All right. I can see the bottom. I came prepared. All right. Here we go.
17:03Gosh, this is so slippery. Now that the pool is empty, it's time to get all those disgusting leaves
17:10and slippery algae out. Are you all right? Yeah. Safe. Hey, it's time to lose these tiles.
17:19Gotcha. Let's do this.
17:28Do you see what I'm seeing? Yeah, there's another tile behind there.
17:32I think there's actually three layers. Look. One, two, three. More work.
17:37Triple the work now. We don't have a choice, though. We just got to keep chipping away.
17:56There's a crack right here. It's a little bit thicker than a hand-line crack, but essentially,
18:01this is definitely going to leak. I was not expecting this.
18:08Oh, man. I wish I had better news. Yeah, the vent stack, the old cast iron vent stack here.
18:16Yeah. It's cracked, man. You can see it pretty well right here.
18:21Oh, my gosh. Yeah, we definitely can't have that. A vent stack takes all of the sewer gas that's
18:27inside of the house and vents it out. And if it's broken, it can be a very smelly situation.
18:33Ah. There's another issue, too, man. The electrical. Yikes.
18:39It's very outdated with what we're doing here. Old breakers, the miswiring. This panel will not pass
18:47inspection. It really is dangerous for them. This is worse than a thought.
18:50Yeah. We're going to have to rewire both panels, the one inside and the one outside.
18:57It's going to be $12,000 for the electrical.
18:59Yikes. So we're thinking $6,000 for the footers, $2,500 for the crack stack,
19:06plus an additional $12,000 for the wire? Yeah.
19:10I need to calculate it, though, Josh, but it sounds like we're about $20,000 over.
19:15That's about right. It needs to happen.
19:19I know. Oh, man.
19:21I mean, this is the kind of things that you find when you're remodeling.
19:23You open up walls and you start seeing all these things.
19:26All right, man. See you.
19:27Take it easy. Bye.
19:28Bye.
19:36This is going to be a not-so-positive meeting.
19:39I know. Hello.
19:41Hello, my friend.
19:41Ooh. Today, we got to talk to Tori and Corey about some major issues that we found in the renovation.
19:47This is never easy to give this type of news.
19:49Unfortunately, we've uncovered some major problems at the house that we can't ignore
19:53and we have to fix.
19:56You had to spend an additional $6,000 for the footers on the back porch.
20:01Right.
20:02But we also discovered a cracked vent pipe as well as shoddy electrical throughout the entire house.
20:09That's an additional $20,000 that you weren't planning on and neither were we.
20:14Yeah.
20:14Right.
20:15Right.
20:17This is definitely not good news.
20:19It is a big chunk of the budget, so where do you guys feel comfortable?
20:22Are you okay with the overages or do we need to make some modifications?
20:26We definitely need to make some modifications.
20:40We had to make modifications, but...
20:41We weren't expecting to spend an extra $20,000.
20:44No.
20:45So if we can figure out a way that we can save some costs somewhere, that would be good.
20:49One thing I can think of initially, you really wanted to do like the custom hood in the kitchen.
20:53You could do a standard stainless steel hood.
20:56I feel like Cory would be happy about the stainless steel.
20:58Yes, I will.
20:59I mean, we'll have to do what we have to do to save some costs.
21:02It's okay.
21:03Okay, so, all right.
21:04So we know how much this pool means to you, so we still want to give you the pool,
21:08but we get rid of that sun shelf that you wanted.
21:10Another sacrifice.
21:12Even though we don't do the sun shelf, it's still going to be a really cool spot for you and the grandkids to hang out.
21:16So let's put the sun shelf on the shelf.
21:18On the shelf.
21:19Shelf it.
21:20Mm-hmm.
21:21How important is that office space?
21:23We still have three other bedrooms.
21:24That's what I'm thinking.
21:25Because I know you got the grandkids.
21:26I know you want that office.
21:27If we take this away, we still can maybe make one of these rooms an office space.
21:30Mm-hmm.
21:31It's going to save some labor.
21:31It's going to save some time, materials.
21:34I hate to get rid of my office, but if I had to, I think we can do without it.
21:39Okay.
21:40Raise your hand if you're feeling a little bit better.
21:43A little bit, but we're not there yet.
21:44We still are going to have to be very, very cautious when we go and pick all of our finishes.
21:49I wish we had better news.
21:51Oh, you just took the words out of my mouth.
21:53All right.
21:53Yeah.
21:53It's okay.
21:54We both wish we had better news.
21:56I think we're all going to sleep better once that vents stack and all the electrical is fixed.
22:00Definitely.
22:08Tori and Cory, the last time we were on the site, just surprise after surprise and not a pleasant surprise,
22:14right?
22:15Exactly.
22:15But today we're going to go back to our happy space because we're going to talk about designing this
22:20kitchen, all right?
22:21It has been ups and has been downs and even in the middle, but you know what?
22:25We're going to get through it with positivity and get the job done.
22:29We should start with like the main cabinetry because a lot of the secondary design decisions
22:34have to tie into that.
22:35Yes.
22:35I do have some different colors.
22:36I definitely like the blue because I like blue.
22:38My current kitchen has like a softer blue.
22:42What's your thoughts?
22:42I think it's time for change.
22:44Um, white?
22:47Too plain?
22:48Yeah.
22:50Okay.
22:51You like the sage?
22:52Sage green to me just kind of gives you like this calmness, just the way that it makes
22:57people feel like they're at home.
22:59They feel comfortable.
23:00It's better than blue.
23:01Ah!
23:02Okay.
23:03I'm ready to come to terms with this because you know why?
23:05Why?
23:06Because I got my stainless steel.
23:08Oh, you're still rubbing that in, aren't you?
23:09Oh, yes.
23:10Fair.
23:11He gets his stainless steel hood.
23:13I get the green cabinets.
23:15There's nothing wrong with having two different cabinet colors in the kitchen.
23:18I would say this will be the main.
23:21Okay.
23:21And then this will be the island.
23:23The wood tone, it's going to make it feel like a custom piece of furniture,
23:25like center with the kitchen.
23:27This is her kitchen, so okay.
23:30Let's just doze over to Backsplash.
23:32Okay.
23:33You already know that you wanted like a texture and a stone element.
23:36Like these kind of mimic that stone look that you were going for.
23:39Okay.
23:39Oh, look at there.
23:43And it almost pulls in the sage, the stones.
23:46Oh, wow.
23:47I will say with this material, with stone, it's going to be somewhat porous.
23:51Do you make spaghetti with red sauce?
23:53Well, we call it gravy where I come from.
23:55So are you going to be okay with the maintenance?
23:58You just put aluminum foil up there.
24:00Cover the wall up while you put it?
24:01Cover the wall and keep it rolling.
24:03All right.
24:05So I mean, this kitchen is really pulling together.
24:08There's a lot of moving pieces to this renovation.
24:10But on top of that, you guys are managing, trying to get your other households.
24:13Been very busy.
24:14A lot of showings.
24:15Good.
24:15I think after today's meeting, we are really back on the positive side of this renovation.
24:21I'm really hoping that throughout the rest of this process,
24:24I don't have to deliver any more bad news.
24:26This is a happy day.
24:40Tori and Corey are out of funds for this new renovation.
24:44Until they get their house sold, we can't do any more work.
24:47It's like depressing.
24:50They had their house under contract.
24:52And last minute, the buyer canceled.
24:55Yikes.
24:56Yeah, I mean, all our rough-ins are pretty much done.
24:58Inspections are done.
25:00But unfortunately, we've gone as far as we can go.
25:04The good news is Tori and Corey found another buyer and they're under contract.
25:08The bad news is it probably won't close for another 30 days.
25:12We're definitely at a stopping point.
25:13Yeah, unfortunately.
25:15The structural stuff has started.
25:17Materials have been ordered.
25:18Once we get the good news, we can speed it up.
25:21We lock it up.
25:39I have never been so excited to open a door in my entire life.
25:44We're back in business.
25:45And so time to hang some drywall.
25:47We've been paused for 30 days, but the timeout is officially over.
25:52Thank goodness.
25:53And guess what?
25:55It's game on.
25:56Tori and Corey finally closed on their house.
25:58So now it's time for us to close up these walls.
26:00Okay.
26:06Got it?
26:06Yeah.
26:07Okay.
26:08Right.
26:10And we're definitely making some progress today.
26:12Yeah, we lost.
26:13Feels good to get moving again.
26:14We lost a little bit of time.
26:16How do we make up that time?
26:17Not going to make up all of it.
26:18Anything is better than none.
26:19We could actually stack our trades.
26:21So we could have the plumber, the electrician, and the HVAC guy all in here at the same time.
26:25Get them all inspected on the same day.
26:26Yeah.
26:27You want to do that?
26:27Yeah.
26:28I mean, we don't have a choice at this point.
26:29It's going to be a full house.
26:31Yeah, it will.
26:32All right.
26:33Well, this wall's good.
26:33Let's move into the bedroom here.
26:34Great.
26:35I feel like we're going to find something good today.
26:40Sounds good.
26:41This renovation has been full of surprises, and we really need to figure out where we can save money.
26:47Oh, Randy.
26:48There he is.
26:49So today, I'm pulling a favor from an old high school buddy that now owns a flooring store.
26:54What's up, long time, my friend?
26:55How are you, dear?
26:56This isn't just any showroom.
26:58It's more for wholesale.
26:59He's making an exception for us today.
27:01He's got everything in stock.
27:02The prices are great, and I'm really hoping they fall in love with something they see today.
27:06You're doing a two-tone kitchen, right?
27:08Right.
27:08This color is going to be our upper and lowers, but the aisle is going to be the focal point.
27:12And so our challenge today is making sure we don't clash with this, because we already have,
27:16like, the wood detail.
27:17Let's check it out.
27:22These all play very farmhouse rustic to me, because look how much detail.
27:26Yeah.
27:26It may be a bit much.
27:28What do you think about going with a gray tone?
27:30Oh, no.
27:31And then this one has...
27:32That is interesting.
27:33Okay, this is almost, like, matching to me.
27:36I like that little piece on the wall, but I think to have it in the whole house will just make
27:39me like, ah!
27:40Yeah.
27:41So maybe we look at some of the ones with the wider plank, because I think in a repeated pattern,
27:46it's nice to have minimal lines.
27:48I agree with that.
27:49What you got going on?
27:51I want something that's clean, more modern, not a really, like, a farmy kind of thing.
27:56What tone do we like?
27:57I like this one, because this looks like natural wood, and it has that modern look.
28:02I can almost lean towards his over here.
28:04I love how you're not making eye contact with them.
28:07She's like...
28:07I mean, listen, I do think that looks great.
28:12And the movement is really subtle, so that can still play very nicely with the farmhouse.
28:16Yeah.
28:16You're proud of yourself, aren't you?
28:17Yes, I am.
28:18I can tell.
28:19Typically, the budget for flooring for, like, 2,500 square feet, I would say probably close to 20,000.
28:25We're going to get this for, like, half of that.
28:26Oh, that is awesome.
28:27So, you know, that's a win right there, saving 10,000.
28:31It is.
28:32I'm loving it.
28:33Budget friendly.
28:34I'm going to get with Randy, get this ordered.
28:36Sounds good.
28:42All right.
28:42Welcome to Progress.
28:43We're back in business.
28:45Wow, I got to get my bearings.
28:47Old kitchen right here.
28:48Old kitchen right here.
28:49Wall right here.
28:50New kitchen over there.
28:52Yeah.
28:52That's massive.
28:54This is so open.
28:55We just texturized all the drywall, so next up is flooring.
28:59Okay, so flooring is happening today.
29:00It's happening today.
29:01Then we need to figure out what we're doing for a special project.
29:04My worry is that we have no money on this project, like.
29:07Correct.
29:08Dang.
29:08I don't think we can do one for this.
29:11I mean, could this be, like, the first time that we don't do a special project?
29:17Yikes.
29:18Maybe.
29:18That would be terrible.
29:23I mean, could this be, like, the first time that we don't do a special project?
29:27Maybe.
29:28That would be terrible.
29:29Can we do a special project that would earn us money?
29:32Is that a thing?
29:33That's not a bad idea.
29:34Like a bake sale?
29:35I don't know.
29:36We might do a fundraiser for this one.
29:37We can do something, like, almost something that we can do ourselves.
29:42I think a special project can be just adding a little extra touch or customization to a space.
29:48Their main suite, they want it to feel like a retreat and be cozy.
29:51Maybe we can do something to, like, slightly elevate their room.
29:56Let me see.
29:56You know how we have, like, the wainscoting in our dining room area?
30:00Really, all it is is trim and paint.
30:02So all we really need is a little bit of lumber, sweat equity, and the right paint color.
30:08I know that Tori loves red.
30:10We had red in our foyer.
30:12It was so inviting when you walked into the house.
30:15Red's going to be bold in here.
30:17Almost like a deep, like a burgundy wine kind of color.
30:21We got to find the right shape.
30:22What are you thinking above it, though?
30:24Maybe, like, a cream or a lighter tone.
30:26It's almost like wine and cheese.
30:27That's a great combination.
30:28Which one am I?
30:30You're definitely the cheese.
30:31Are you kidding me with your jokes?
30:33You're the fine wine.
30:34That's right.
30:34Work needs to start happening.
30:35We're moving.
30:41Today is the final push for Tori and Corey's dream home.
30:45We have a ton getting installed today.
30:47The green kitchen cabinets, the countertops, shower tile, pool tile,
30:53and the wainscoting going in in the main bedroom.
30:56All right, so I got to ask you.
30:57What's that?
30:57Do you pronounce it wainscoting or wainscotting?
31:00Uh, scotting.
31:02Yeah, wainscotting.
31:03Yeah, I say wainscoting.
31:04Oh, okay.
31:06One more.
31:08Perfect.
31:09Hello, boys.
31:11Guess what I got.
31:12Oh, boy.
31:15Why'd you say it like that, Brian?
31:16Because I think it looks good white.
31:19Let me ask you something.
31:21How does this look on me today?
31:22Anything looks good on you.
31:23Okay.
31:24That's not what we're talking about.
31:25It's looking good on me, but it's also going to look good on these walls.
31:28So this is inspired.
31:30You trust me?
31:31All right.
31:31I guess I'm going to have to.
31:50It's the parade of plants.
31:52Got to bring the green.
31:53Bring the outdoors in.
31:55T minus one day for the reveal.
31:57Yikes.
31:57Wait a minute.
31:58Huh?
31:59I don't think we can move anything in the outdoor space right now.
32:02Like, want to go see it?
32:04We are past our timeline.
32:08Look at this.
32:08This project has had many hiccups.
32:15This is a, this is a mess.
32:18It goes back to us having to stop our timeline.
32:21I mean, the pool sub has a ton of other jobs lined up.
32:24He's not going to sit around and wait for us.
32:26And when we were ready for him, he wasn't ready to come back.
32:29I don't know how we're going to have this done by tomorrow.
32:32Joe says that they're going to be here in about an hour.
32:34They're going to finish it all and start filling it right away.
32:36And it's going to take all night to fill it.
32:39We're trying to make up for lost time.
32:41Okay, these go for the island.
32:42We're going to keep these covered just to be safe.
32:45Well, yeah.
32:47So, I mean, we have furniture coming in,
32:49but we still have paint drying on the walls.
32:51So it's a little bit chaotic.
32:52We'll get, hey, we'll get there.
32:53We will.
32:54Yeah, yeah.
32:55All right, so this room, we can't really mess with.
32:56Let's do the rest of the house.
32:57Come back to the kitchen.
33:03This certainly is not light, or is it?
33:08It's the question of the day.
33:09That better be my pool guy.
33:10Miggy, is that the pool guys?
33:13Hopefully.
33:14Yes.
33:15I see pool chemicals.
33:17Woo-hoo.
33:18Tori and Corey are staying with family.
33:20They sold their other house.
33:21We need to get them in this house.
33:23So we're just going to have to deal with a little bit of controlled chaos and get it done.
33:34This is cutting it way too close.
33:38Did you remember when you said that if we did a dark, rich, bold color,
33:42that the room would feel smaller?
33:43You remember saying that?
33:46Mm-mm.
33:47I must have breathed in too many paint fumes.
33:48You might have.
33:49Still feel like there's a risk with that main suite, but I hope that both Tori and Corey love it.
33:56Yeah, this is Tori's new office, right?
33:57Let's set it here.
33:58We still got to move a lot of stuff around.
34:01We had to pivot from the original floor plan of giving them the enclosed office.
34:05Yeah, I think it works.
34:06It is kind of tucked away.
34:07Yeah.
34:08And it's not disturbing anything that's going on in the entertainment zone of the house.
34:11You know, with Tori and Corey's budget, we unfortunately had to make some cuts to what
34:16they originally wanted to do, but I want to make sure when they come home tomorrow,
34:19they don't feel like we cut anything, and that's exactly what they dreamed of.
34:24Not only does all this have to be spread, but it also has to set up, dry,
34:29and then we have to fill it up with water.
34:31I'm just going to take all night long to fill this up.
34:35Starting to get a sinking feeling.
34:47Today has been a long time coming for Tori and Corey.
34:51I need this to fill up much faster, but it's finally here.
34:55Thank goodness.
34:56Oh my goodness.
34:57I'm on.
34:58Oh, man.
35:00Hey, we're going to have to do the house tour in slow motion,
35:04so by the time we get out here, this is full of water.
35:07It's been a lot of up and down.
35:08Sometimes it's been mentally draining, but we had to finish mine.
35:13The fact that we even got this to look the way it is right now.
35:17Do you remember what this pool looked like on day one?
35:19My butt still remembers what it was like, yes.
35:23The green swamp is gone.
35:25Hurry it up, Brian.
35:26What do you think that you're going to be most excited about?
35:28The bedroom. It's going to be real roomy.
35:30My number one spot is going to be the kitchen.
35:34You got that farm sink.
35:35You got that old stainless steel hood.
35:39Easy cleaning.
35:40Oh, God help me.
35:42Oh, here they come.
35:43I can see them smiling from down the street.
35:45Even though this project had a lot of headaches, a lot of hurdles,
35:49this is what it's all about.
35:50Hey, look at her.
35:51Hey!
35:53Here we go, babe.
35:54This is it.
35:55This is what we've been waiting for.
35:56Hey, look at her.
35:57Hey!
35:59Corey and Tori have arrived.
36:01Hey!
36:02Hey, guys.
36:06It's been a minute.
36:08It has been.
36:09Oh, my gosh.
36:10So y'all ready for this?
36:11Yes.
36:13So ready.
36:13She's ready.
36:13So ready.
36:14What a transformation.
36:17What's your favorite part of the exterior here?
36:19I would have to say the windows.
36:20Corey picked the windows.
36:22Yeah, the black frame windows.
36:23Yeah.
36:24They make a statement.
36:25The paint color you chose, beautiful.
36:26And the arches are gone.
36:27Arches are gone.
36:28Right.
36:28I gotta ask you, how's it been living with your daughter?
36:31It's been interesting.
36:33Grandkids, they're fun.
36:34I feel like it's time to get settled and, like, relax.
36:37Yes, we cannot wait.
36:38It's time.
36:39You know what they say.
36:40When one house closes, another one opens.
36:43Excited.
36:44You ready to see it?
36:45Yes.
36:45I'm up to you.
36:46Ladies first.
36:49Come on, baby.
36:50Okay, let's go.
36:52Oh, wow.
36:53Now, nice.
37:01It's okay.
37:01It's all right.
37:03It's okay.
37:03It's so beautiful.
37:05It's okay.
37:07Here you go.
37:08Oh, you're a gentleman.
37:09Oh, we get married.
37:10Here you go.
37:11So much to look at.
37:12Yeah.
37:12Oh, it's so nice.
37:14It came a long way, didn't it?
37:15It did.
37:16When you first saw it.
37:17In your old house, we would not have been able to get this far in.
37:21You'd have to back up a little bit.
37:22Right, right, right, right.
37:23Right here was the wall.
37:24Well, right.
37:24Now, you see everything.
37:25Yeah.
37:26That's great.
37:27I know we had to pivot from the original floor plan.
37:29Yeah.
37:29You know, we wanted to have an enclosed office, but I do feel like once we open this up,
37:34it's like there's enough space to have a designated office area.
37:37It works.
37:37Even though it's not enclosed, it's kind of set off so it could be functional for you.
37:42Nice sitting area.
37:43Yes.
37:43The flooring looks amazing.
37:45It just flows.
37:45Literally amazing.
37:46It kind of gives you a feel like a country cottage.
37:49Yeah.
37:49With a little bit of modern touch.
37:51Can I go in?
37:52This is your house.
37:53You can go wherever you want.
37:54Ooh.
37:54What you cooking in, huh?
37:55Look, babe.
37:56Look at the sink.
37:57She got a farm sink.
37:58She got her farm sink.
38:00Look outside.
38:01She got a farm sink, ladies and gentlemen.
38:03Look at the handles.
38:04Look, babe.
38:04Look.
38:05The gold handles I picked out.
38:07This kitchen, this is the old backyard lanai.
38:10Yes.
38:10This was the outside patio.
38:11Yes.
38:11This was the outside.
38:12It feels like such a different place.
38:14But we still have so much green space and outdoor entertainment.
38:18So let's go check it out.
38:19Well, green space and blue space.
38:21Oh, okay.
38:22Oh, it used to be green.
38:24Oh, no.
38:24It definitely used to be green.
38:25Oh, and I forgot about that.
38:28Oh, yeah.
38:29Yes.
38:29The oasis.
38:30This looks nice.
38:31Outdoor space.
38:32Looks really good.
38:32Whoa.
38:33This is what a pool is supposed to look like.
38:36Yes, it is.
38:37This is so good.
38:39What a transformation.
38:39Oh, my goodness.
38:40Right?
38:41From the Gator Lake to Blue Lagoon.
38:44So if this is where the grandkids are going to be hanging out, let's see where Tori and
38:48Corey are going to be hanging out.
38:50You ready to see the main suite?
38:51Yes.
38:52Yes.
38:53After you.
38:53All right.
38:54Let's check out this primary suite.
38:55Okay.
38:57Oh, wow.
38:59Whoa.
39:00Okay, okay.
39:01Nice.
39:02Uh-huh.
39:03Okay.
39:04You feeling it?
39:05Hey, this is totally...
39:08It looks great.
39:09I was not expecting that.
39:10That was a good whoa.
39:11It's a great whoa.
39:12Yes, most definitely.
39:13One thousand percent.
39:14You say whoa, I say pew.
39:16Yeah.
39:17Remember during the inspiration tours, you wanted modern farmhouse, you wanted red.
39:23So I feel like this color is a good compromise.
39:25It is.
39:26It's a little bit deeper.
39:27It's a richer tone.
39:28Right.
39:28Oh, oh, oh.
39:29Oh, oh.
39:29You got it.
39:31I guess I'll take a sheet and I'll take it.
39:32You know what?
39:32Let's go test it out.
39:33Hey, go ahead.
39:33Go ahead.
39:33All right, I'll test it out with you.
39:35Yeah.
39:35I think that's the best view of the room.
39:37I love the color.
39:38It's beautiful.
39:39Burgundy.
39:41It's nice.
39:42It's nice.
39:43Like wine.
39:43It looks good.
39:44It's so cozy.
39:44This right here?
39:45This is home.
39:47Oh my goodness.
39:48Hold it over there.
39:49You know what this is?
39:50What?
39:51You don't remember?
39:52No, I don't.
39:53This is the wallpaper from the kitchen.
39:55Oh.
39:57Oh, but I love it though.
39:59Gosh, do you remember what this used to look like?
40:01Because this is actually weird.
40:02Part of the living room.
40:03Yeah.
40:03Part of the living room.
40:04You know what else was really hard to remember?
40:07Actually easy to forget.
40:08What?
40:09That non-functional, tiny bathroom.
40:12Yes, it was tiny.
40:13Are you ready to see it?
40:13Let's go check it out.
40:14Let's go check it out.
40:14Yeah, we couldn't really fit in that bathroom.
40:16Oh, boy.
40:19Ta-da.
40:20What?
40:21Oh, wow.
40:23This is so nice.
40:25Oh, the lights.
40:26That looks so good.
40:27Yes.
40:28And then look, when you turn around and you look, oh my word.
40:32This is amazing.
40:33Can we go back to the kitchen for just one more time?
40:35Please, yes.
40:35One more time.
40:36Please.
40:37You're going to ask me twice.
40:37Let's go.
40:38All right.
40:40I'm actually kind of sad to go, but I know you all have.
40:42The family's going to come over and check out the house.
40:45This is basically a brand new house.
40:47We changed the entire footprint.
40:49We made it more functional, more open.
40:51We started with 2,300 square feet, and we now have 2,600 square feet.
40:54Oh, wow.
40:55And Tori and Corey, I apologize.
40:57We went over our timeline a little bit.
41:00However, we did not go over on our budget of 285,000.
41:05At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is you both are overjoyed with your new house.
41:09Yes, definitely we are.
41:10Are you overjoyed?
41:11I am overjoyed.
41:12That's exciting.
41:13Don't forget to invite us to the first pool party.
41:15Yay.
41:15Most definitely.
41:17Thanks, guys.
41:18Enjoy.
41:19You deserve it.
41:20We appreciate you guys.
41:21I'm so excited about getting into our home.
41:23So I'm so glad to have you guys here in our new home.
41:26The one thing I'm looking forward to doing the most is just cooking a really nice meal
41:31and having family over for dinner.
41:32That sounds fantastic.
41:33Sign me up.
41:34How many do you think you can eat?
41:37Oh, that's the button for the race.
41:3810.
41:39Whoa, 10?
41:4010 of his ribs?
41:42Wow.
41:42This is life.
41:43You have your ups and downs.
41:44And just like this project, you have your ups and downs.
41:47So it all works out.
41:49Now that we've got the houses done, we can do this anytime.
41:52We can go back to what?
41:53Our Sunday dinners at Grammy and Papa's, right?
41:57Yeah.
41:58That sounds yummy, right?
