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.
00:28Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:29Are you all right?
00:30There's another issue, too, man.
00:32Can Brian and I transform this retro wreck?
00:35What 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.
00:52Time is money.
00:54We're proof that construction and marriage can mix.
00:57Give me a sweaty hug.
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.
01:11Making bolder decisions.
01:12With 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.
01:36You can definitely tell that it's got some throwback design
01:38elements.
01:39Yeah.
01:39So today we're meeting our clients in Brandon,
01:41which is 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.
01:50So we're actually going to be taking on a project that's
01:52going to be a renovation of a home that needs a little bit
01:55of updating.
01:56Hi.
01:56How are 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.
02:01Nice to meet you as well.
02:02Nice to meet you.
02:02Oh, man, so 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 you was the winding sidewalk,
02:19because a winding sidewalk is leading you to something,
02:22right?
02:22That's right.
02:23Treasured.
02:23I was thinking, yes.
02:24I was thinking something cool is behind that door.
02:26But when I got in, I said, ooh, this is going
02:29to be a lot of work.
02:30Cory's going to kill me.
02:31He's going to say, what was you thinking?
02:33What did Cory say?
02:36Cory said, what was you thinking?
02:39My name is Cory.
02:41I'm Victoria.
02:42Go by Tori.
02:43We've been married for 38 years.
02:45You made that sound like you was kind of young.
02:48That's deep breath.
02:49And we have three children.
02:50We have Nikita, Cory, and Rashad,
02:52and they're all in 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
02:58like you wasn'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.
03:14Oh.
03:15But 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.
03:20And you were checking her out.
03:20Yeah, I was going to say.
03:22Yeah.
03:23Yes.
03:23So where are you guys living at right now?
03:25We're living at, actually, we're in Fishhawk.
03:26OK, so.
03:27That's a little too far.
03:28No, that's a little far up the road.
03:29Honestly, it doesn't look too bad.
03:30It's a little dated.
03:32Yeah, it's definitely dated.
03:33But I'm not scared yet.
03:34What I'm more concerned with is what's behind the door
03:36and the inside.
03:37Oh, boy.
03:45OK.
03:47Obviously, we can see that this has not been remodeled.
03:51It does feel kind of separated.
03:53But I think that was kind of the design trends back then.
03:55Exactly.
03:56When you first walk in, you're staring at a wall.
03:59Right.
03:59The kitchen.
04:00It's behind that wall.
04:02OK, so this is definitely kind of a galley kitchen.
04:05This drop ceiling is so old.
04:07And if you're in here, it's like you can't really
04:09tell what's going on around you.
04:11Exactly.
04:11We want to have a kitchen that's more spacious.
04:13Because we do Thanksgiving for 20 or more.
04:16We do birthdays.
04:17You can't see anything out here.
04:19I mean, Victoria, you probably can.
04:21Yes, I can.
04:21All right.
04:22Are you guys enjoying your time here?
04:24Yeah.
04:25Can I get you anything?
04:26And then it'll 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 talking about enclosing that in?
04:35There's still a ton of yards.
04:36So we wouldn't take away, obviously, all the outdoor space.
04:41This is a lot of square footage.
04:42This is a lot of space.
04:43This would be a huge kitchen.
04:45Look, you just lit up.
04:46She's smiling big.
04:47So I feel like we might need to see if we can make this happen.
04:49This is a whole addition out here.
04:51It's going to be a lot of work.
04:52I mean, you can see we're not even on the same level
04:54as the foundation.
04:55To bring all that plumbing, all that electrical,
04:57through the slab, back out to here.
04:59We probably need to figure out what budget we're working with.
05:02We should have asked you that first.
05:04Do you have the same budget in mind, or is it different?
05:06We do our budget's around $285,000.
05:09OK, so that's a pretty good number to be able to do some magical transformation.
05:15But we will need to sell our current house to fully pay for this renovation.
05:20OK, got it.
05:21What other spaces are we thinking?
05:23We need to transform in this house.
05:25Out there?
05:26That space actually is where our pool is.
05:28Pool?
05:29Yes, there is a pool.
05:30Come on up.
05:31Oh.
05:31That's a cesspool.
05:33No, it's a pool.
05:34Really?
05:35That is the greenest pool I've ever seen.
05:38We would like to get the pool resurfaced,
05:40because it definitely needs it.
05:42OK.
05:42Really, this could be a cool outdoor space.
05:44And now I don't feel guilty that we took away the lunae for the kitchen.
05:47Right, see?
05:48Is there any other areas of the house that we should get our eyes on?
05:50Primary bedroom.
05:51Show me the way.
05:52So you guys, come on in.
05:53This is a primary space right over here.
05:55Whoa!
05:56The room is kind of small.
05:58So if you could see behind you, I guess in the 70s,
06:01they really didn't have walk-in closets,
06:03at least not for these type of homes.
06:04Oh, gotcha.
06:05I'm assuming y'all would want to expand the closet.
06:07So if we cut that in, then we're really not
06:09going to have a lot of room.
06:10Well, you got the window there, too,
06:11so you can't come out too far.
06:13Shoot, you're right about that.
06:14There is a bathroom over here.
06:16This is it.
06:17This is it.
06:18What do you envision for your dream bathroom?
06:20Walk-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?
06:29Actually, it's considered, I guess,
06:30the formal living room.
06:31Yeah.
06:32Look how much space this will give y'all.
06:34You're talking about enclosing this
06:36and 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.
06:50So you can access the closet from the bathroom or from the bedroom.
06:54What do you think?
06:54I'm feeling you.
06:55Yes.
06:56So you're going to make the bedroom feel like a primary suite?
06:58Because right now, it feels like a guest room.
07:00It does.
07:01We're not done yet.
07:03Just one more space.
07:05What are you talking about?
07:05I work from home, and I was thinking maybe a small office.
07:08Would you use one of your bedrooms that you have on this side?
07:12No.
07:12Oh, so you want to keep the three extra bedrooms
07:14and then also have an office?
07:16Yeah.
07:17Man, OK, so thinking about floor plan,
07:19I do find that it's common as you walk in,
07:21and you do have that office space off the foyer.
07:24We could create and mimic that here because-
07:26Just close all this in?
07:27We do have this area right here.
07:29See?
07:29We can see your vision, and we want
07:31to make that vision a reality.
07:33$285,000 is a healthy budget, but we
07:36are going to have to be very smart on how we spread it,
07:39since there's so many areas of this house we have to touch.
07:42And with renovations, we don't know
07:44what's behind the walls until demo starts.
07:46Right.
07:46Updating this interior is going to be important.
07:49So what kind of style are you going for?
07:51I would like to go with a farmhouse style
07:53because I want to bring in the elements
07:56from the farm right behind us.
07:58That rustic, tight style.
08:00He's giving me that look already.
08:03I like the modern look, clean.
08:06We are going to do some inspiration tours.
08:07So let's walk through some spaces that are a little bit more
08:10updated than this.
08:11Yep, most definitely.
08:12And I think it'll help you have that confidence
08:13when we make our design decisions.
08:15OK.
08:15I'm open to that.
08:16This is going to be an adventure for sure.
08:18We're going to have fun.
08:25Satori and Corey, OK.
08:27We've got to figure out the style.
08:28This is kind of a good staple example of farmhouse,
08:32because you've got the black and white, the shutters.
08:34What are your thoughts?
08:35Well, now that we're here, I think it's a little bit too white.
08:39We need to kind of bring some pop, some color, even if it's just
08:41a little bit.
08:42It doesn't have to be anything over the top.
08:44Yeah, we need more color.
08:45OK.
08:46Let's take a look at some interiors.
08:48Come on in.
08:51I like it.
08:51I like it a lot.
08:52Oh, boy.
08:53Oh, boy.
08:54When we lived up north, we had Red in our foyer.
08:58It was so inviting.
08:59When you've walked into the house, it feels real cozy and warm.
09:02Like you just want to sit in front of a fireplace and just,
09:05you 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.
09:14Boom.
09:15Oh, did he say bomb?
09:17This right here is just too much for me.
09:19So right now, Corey is seeing red, and it's not a good thing?
09:22No, it's not.
09:22No.
09:26I'm feeling like you come in here as it's like a big red bomb.
09:30Boom.
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
09:41because all I'm really looking at is the red walls.
09:43Good point.
09:44So, you know, maybe we can figure out a compromise
09:46where you guys, one wall.
09:48One accent wall.
09:49One accent wall.
09:50So let's check out a more modern look for you, Corey.
09:53Oh, yeah, the kitchen space.
09:55Now that we're relocating the kitchen, you have so much space.
09:59I love the stainless steel hood.
10:00It lasts forever.
10:01You just like stainless steel.
10:02That's what that is.
10:03Sleek and modern.
10:04Yes.
10:05Yes.
10:05The grays in the stainless steel seems a little bit
10:07too modern for me.
10:09I 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.
10:17OK.
10:17It's give and take, you know.
10:19And then the backsplash.
10:21I would like more like a textured stone,
10:23so that way you're bringing some of that organic into the kitchen.
10:28No.
10:29Why you say no so fast?
10:31Because you're not going to be the one cleaning it.
10:36I don't like this kitchen.
10:37It's just not the color palettes that I like.
10:40It's just, it's like a lot of lines.
10:42And you've got to stay within the lines.
10:44And I just want to be able to feel free, to feel warm.
10:47I don't like it.
10:48Oh, this space is definitely different.
10:53Oh, this is nice.
10:54I like this kitchen.
10:56It feels very welcoming and does feel extremely nostalgic.
11:00It feels like home.
11:02Like you just want to put on an apron and start cooking.
11:04And this brings me back to both our mothers,
11:07because they were both great cooks.
11:08It's very traditional.
11:09Nah.
11:10Don't like it.
11:11At all?
11:12No, I don't like it.
11:13I don't like the green.
11:14I don't like the cream.
11:15You've got a farmhouse sink.
11:16What do you think about that?
11:18I like this.
11:19This is nice.
11:20I would like to see it in stainless steel.
11:22Not in a farmhouse kitchen.
11:25I like the other one.
11:27It was more cleaner, more modern.
11:28You still have the stainless appliance, though,
11:30throughout the rest of the kitchen.
11:31Right.
11:31Stainless is a finish that does go with almost everything.
11:34So maybe that's a compromise, is if we do the stainless,
11:37you give Tori a farmhouse sink.
11:40Yeah.
11:41OK.
11:42OK.
11:43Hey, that's not bad.
11:45All right, this kitchen is coming together.
11:46Let's see what else we can find out today.
11:48All right, sounds good.
11:50This is what a pool is supposed to look like.
11:53Are you thinking of adding any features to the current pool?
11:55See, they have this little sun shelf,
11:57so you can kind of just have a seating area.
11:58That's really cool to be able to watch the grandkids
12:01play in the water.
12:02I would love that.
12:03Today, there was a lot of honesty from Tori and Corey,
12:06which I very greatly appreciate.
12:08I still feel like we left a lot of cards on the table.
12:11This main suite is really big.
12:13It is.
12:13What do you envision?
12:14A sitting area.
12:15OK.
12:16But we've got a great starting point
12:18to get this renovation going.
12:19We definitely don't need a tub.
12:20So is this walk-in shower big enough?
12:23Just a little bit bigger, because I'm
12:24going to have two shower heads, one shower head for me
12:26and one shower head for her.
12:28OK.
12:28I love that.
12:34All right, it'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.
12:39I usually put X's on the wall.
12:41I feel like I want to say, peace out to all these walls.
12:43Oh, man.
12:45This entire middle of this kitchen is completely gone.
12:49Luckily, these are not low-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.
12:59This is very rare that we have our homeowners helping
13:01as part of demo.
13:02You know it's going to get kind of messy before it gets pretty.
13:05Oh, boy.
13:05But this is really the start of the process.
13:07Let's go.
13:09Oh, yeah.
13:10Woo!
13:12Let me see how you real feel.
13:14Oh, there's the view.
13:16Whoa.
13:18Right there.
13:20Woo!
13:21Wow.
13:22Oh, careful, careful.
13:24Hey.
13:25Coy, Coy, Coy, Coy, Coy.
13:27It felt real good to tear walls down.
13:29Hey, can you show up to all of our job sites?
13:32Yes.
13:32OK, so we're almost done.
13:35How you feeling, bud?
13:36You good?
13:37I feel good.
13:37This looks so good.
13:39I'm so excited.
13:40I love how this is a hot mess, and she says it looks so good.
13:43I see the vision now.
13:45There she goes.
13:46Yeah.
13:46Yeah.
13:48Woo!
13:49Yeah!
13:51There we go.
13:52All right.
13:53Let's get this open.
13:53We got a little bit of electrical here, Brian.
13:56Hey, guys.
13:58I want to show you something that we found outside.
14:01Good something or bad something?
14:02Why don't you come take a look?
14:03Oh, my gosh.
14:04Why does that not sound good?
14:06Oh, boy.
14:08Well, I see Josh digging out there.
14:09Well, so the situation with the footers, there are none.
14:15There are none.
14:16What?
14:18Are you serious?
14:22The situation with the footers, there are none.
14:25What?
14:26Like, they probably just poured this as a patio.
14:28Yeah.
14:29And then this was built on top of it afterwards.
14:31It's an old house.
14:32So this is just, like, slab on grade.
14:33Yeah.
14:34It's plenty strong for a back lanai.
14:37If we're going to add a kitchen out here, we need footers.
14:40Yeah.
14:41So the thing we got to do is we got to cut out the slab here
14:43where the footers need to go, and then add in the extra concrete
14:47for the footers.
14:48But now we're adding extra steps, which I think costs extra dollars.
14:51For sure.
14:53Well, it's a couple days extra work.
14:55And then it's about $6,000 of additional cost.
14:58But $6,000 that Tori and Corey were not planning for.
15:01Yeah, that's a good chunk of change.
15:02We're over budget on day one.
15:04Ah, shoot.
15:06I mean, with the house built back in 1973,
15:08there is definitely going to be some mysteries.
15:10Gosh.
15:11Renovation, you have to be prepared for anything.
15:14I mean, we're supposed to be breaking walls,
15:15but now we're breaking bad news.
15:18Now we really could knock some stuff out.
15:22Hey, guys, making progress.
15:24Well, we just found out some news that we want to kind of review
15:27with you guys.
15:28Yeah.
15:29Obviously, we want to use the back of the knife
15:31for your new dream kitchen.
15:32But we were not able to find any footers.
15:36We're going to have to put some rebar under there to kind of make
15:38sure that it's structurally sound.
15:40So that's going to cost probably an extra, like, $6,000.
15:44Oh.
15:46$6,000.
15:47We wasn't expecting that.
15:49It's not in the budget.
15:50Hopefully, during the design process,
15:52maybe we can find some other savings.
15:54But this is a structural thing.
15:56We want to make sure that your investment is safe.
15:57And we want it to be done right.
15:59OK, it's got to get done.
16:03Your dream kitchen.
16:05Oh, so it's back on me now.
16:06Yes.
16:07All right, well, let's continue to break some walls.
16:09And we'll try not to break the budget any more than we do.
16:11Day one, guys, come on.
16:12I know, day one.
16:13Oh, that's the best.
16:27This is the first pool I've ever demoed.
16:29I mean, it looks like a swamp out here.
16:31Yeah.
16:32This should be exciting.
16:34Now the demo's begun on the inside.
16:35It's time to start working on the pool.
16:37But first, we have to empty all this water out.
16:38I've got to save this frog real quick.
16:40Come here, buddy.
16:42We got to find you a real pond.
16:44Otherwise, you're going to croak in here.
16:50It's going to take a couple more hours
16:51to drain this all the way down, and then we demo.
16:56All right, I can see the bottom.
16:58I came prepared.
17:00All right, here I go.
17:04Gosh, this is so slippery.
17:06Now that the pool is empty, it's time
17:08to get all those disgusting leaves and slippery algae out.
17:12Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo!
17:14Are you all right?
17:15Yeah.
17:16Safe.
17:17Hey, it's time to lose these tiles.
17:19Gotcha.
17:20Let's do this.
17:28Do you see what I'm seeing?
17:30Yeah, there's another tile behind there.
17:32I think there's actually three layers.
17:34Look, one, two, three.
17:37More work.
17:38Triple the work now.
17:40We don't have a choice, though.
17:41We just got to keep chipping away.
17:56There's a crack right here.
17:58It's a little bit thicker than a hand-line crack,
18:00but essentially, this is definitely going to leak.
18:03I'm not expecting this.
18:07Hey, Josh, what's up?
18:08Oh, man.
18:10I wish I had better news.
18:12Uh-oh.
18:13Yeah, the vent stack, the old cast-iron vent stack here.
18:16Yeah.
18:17It's cracked, man.
18:18You can see it pretty well right here.
18:21Oh, my gosh.
18:22Yeah, we definitely can't have that.
18:24A vent stack takes all of the sewer gas that's inside of the house and vents it out.
18:29And if it's broken, it can be a very smelly situation.
18:33There's another issue, too, man.
18:36The electrical.
18:37Yikes.
18:38It's very outdated with what we're doing here.
18:41Old breakers, the miswiring.
18:44This panel will not pass inspection.
18:47It really is dangerous for them.
18:49This is worse than I thought.
18:51Yeah.
18:52We're going to have to rewire both panels, the one inside and the one outside.
18:56It's going to be $12,000 for the electrical.
18:59Yikes.
19:00So we're taking $6,000 for the photos, $2,500 for the crack stack, plus an additional $12,000
19:08for the wire?
19:09Yeah.
19:10I need to calculate it, though, Josh, but it sounds like we're about $20,000 over.
19:16That's about right.
19:17What?
19:18It needs to happen.
19:19I know.
19:20Oh, man.
19:21I mean, this is the kind of things that you find when you're remodeling.
19:24You open up walls and you start seeing all these things.
19:26All right, man.
19:27See you.
19:28Take it easy.
19:29Take it easy.
19:36This is going to be a not-so-positive meeting.
19:39I know.
19:40Hello.
19:41Hello, my friend.
19:42Today, we got to talk to Tori and Cory about some major issues that we found in the renovation.
19:46This 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.
19:55Uh-oh.
19:56You had to spend an additional $6,000 for the footers on the back porch.
20:01Right.
20:02We 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.
20:14Right.
20:15Right.
20:16Right.
20:17Right.
20:18This is definitely not good news.
20:19It is a big chunk of the budget.
20:21So where do you guys feel comfortable?
20:22Are you okay with the overages or do we need to make some modifications?
20:26Well, ugh.
20:27Where do you guys feel comfortable?
20:28Are you okay with the overages or do we need to make some modifications?
20:29Definitely need to make some modifications.
20:30We had to make modifications, but...
20:31We weren't expecting to spend an extra $20,000.
20:32No.
20:33So if we can figure out a way that we can save some costs somewhere, that would be good.
20:48Yeah.
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 hood.
20:58Yes, I will.
20:59I mean, we'll have to do what we have to do to save some costs.
21:01It's okay.
21:02Okay.
21:03So, all right.
21:04So we know how much this pool means to you.
21:06So we still want to give you the pool, but we get rid of that sun shelf that you wanted.
21:10Another sacrifice.
21:11Even 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.
21:32It's going to save some time, materials.
21:33Ugh.
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.
21:42A 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.
21:50Oh, you just took the words out of my mouth.
21:52All right.
21:53Yeah.
21:54It's okay.
21:55We both wish we had better news.
21:56Okay.
21:57I think we're all going to sleep better once that vent stack and all the electrical is fixed.
22:00Definitely.
22:08Tori and Kori, the last time we were on the site, just surprise after surprise.
22:13It was.
22:14And not a pleasant surprise, right?
22:15Exactly.
22:16But today we're going to go back to our happy space.
22:18Yes.
22:19Because we're going to talk about designing this kitchen.
22:20All right.
22:21It has been ups and has been downs and even in the middle.
22:24But you know what?
22:25We're going to get through it.
22:26Yeah.
22:27With 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.
22:36I do have some different colors.
22:37I definitely like the blue because I like blue.
22:39My current kitchen has like a softer blue.
22:42What's your thoughts?
22:43I think it's time for change.
22:46Um, white?
22:48Too plain?
22:50Yeah.
22:51Okay.
22:52You like the sage?
22:53Sage green to me just kind of gives you like this calmness.
22:56Just the way that it makes people 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.
23:20Okay.
23:21And then this will be the island.
23:22The wood tone, it's going to make it feel like a custom piece of furniture, like center
23:26with the kitchen.
23:27Yes, yes.
23:28This is her kitchen, so...
23:29Okay.
23:30Let's just doze over to Backsplash.
23:32Okay.
23:33Because you 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.
23:40Ah, look at there.
23:42And it almost pulls in the sage, the stones.
23:45Oh, wow.
23:46I will say with this material, with stone, it's going to be somewhat forest.
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.
24:02And keep it rolling.
24:03All right.
24:04So, I mean, this kitchen is really pulling together.
24:07There's a lot of moving pieces to this renovation.
24:09But on top of that, you guys are managing, trying to get your other households.
24:13Been very busy.
24:14A lot of showings.
24:15I think after today's meeting, we are really back on the positive side of this renovation.
24:20I'm really hoping that throughout the rest of this process, I don't have to deliver any
24:25more bad news.
24:26This is a happy day.
24:28Tori and Cory are out of funds for this new renovation.
24:43Until they get their house sold, we can't do any more work.
24:47This is like depressing.
24:49They had their house under contract, and last minute, the buyer canceled.
24:54Yikes.
24:55Yeah, I mean, all our rough-ins are pretty much done.
24:58Inspections are done.
24:59But unfortunately, we've gone as far as we can go.
25:03The good news is, Tori and Cory found another buyer, and they're under contract.
25:08The bad news is, it probably won't close for another 30 days.
25:11We're definitely at a stopping point.
25:13Yeah, unfortunately.
25:14The structural stuff has started.
25:17Materials have been ordered.
25:18Once we get the good news, we can speed it up.
25:20Let me lock it up.
25:22I have never been so excited to open a door in my entire life.
25:44We're back in business, and 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?
25:54It's game on.
25:55Tori and Cory finally closed on their house, so now it's time for us to close up these walls.
26:00Go.
26:06Got it?
26:07Okay.
26:08Right.
26:10We'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.
26:15How 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?
26:28Yeah.
26:29I mean, we don't have a choice at this point.
26:30It's going to be a full house.
26:31Yeah, it will.
26:32All right.
26:33Well, this wall's good.
26:34Let's move into the bedroom here.
26:35Great.
26:38I 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 it out.
26:44Where we can save money.
26:46Oh, Randy.
26:47There he is.
26:48So today I'm pulling a favor from an old high school buddy that now owns a flooring store.
26:53What's up, long time, my friend?
26:55How are you there?
26:56This isn't just any showroom.
26:57It'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?
27:07Right.
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, making sure we don't clash with this, because we already have, like, the wood detail.
27:17Let's check it out.
27:22These all play very farmhouse rustic to me, because look how much detail.
27:25Yeah.
27:26It may be a bit much.
27:28What do you think about going with the gray tone?
27:30Oh, no.
27:31And then this one has...
27:32That is interesting.
27:33Okay.
27:34This is almost, like, matching to me.
27:36I like that little piece on the wall, but I think to have it in a whole house would just make me, 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, it'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 it looks like natural wood, and it has that modern look.
28:01I can almost lean towards his over here.
28:04I love how you're not making eye contact with him.
28:06She's like...
28:09I mean, listen, I do think that looks great, and the movement is really subtle, so that can still play very nicely with the farmhouse.
28:16Yeah.
28:17Proud of yourself, aren't you?
28:18Yes, I am.
28:19I can tell.
28:20Typically, the budget for flooring for, like, 2,500 square feet, I would say probably close to $20,000.
28:25We're gonna get this for, like, half of that.
28:27Oh, that is awesome.
28:28So, you know, that's a win right there, saving $10,000.
28:31It is.
28:32I'm loving it. Budget friendly.
28:34I'm gonna get with Randy, get this order.
28:36Sounds good.
28:42All right, welcome to Progress. We're back in business.
28:45Wow, I gotta get my bearings.
28:46Old kitchen right here.
28:48Old kitchen right here.
28:49Wall right here.
28:50New kitchen over there.
28:52Yeah.
28:53That's massive.
28:54This is so open.
28:55We just texturized all the drywall, so next up is flooring.
28:58Okay, so flooring is happening today.
29:00Oh, it'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.
29:07Like, dang.
29:08Correct.
29:09I 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?
29:15Yikes.
29:17Maybe.
29:18Maybe.
29:19That 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.
29:38We 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.
29:52Maybe we can do something to, like, slightly elevate their room.
29:56Let me see.
29:57You know how we have, like, the wainscoting in our dining room area?
30:00Really all it is is trim and paint.
30:03So 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 gonna be bold in here.
30:17Almost like a deep, like a burgundy wine kind of color.
30:21We gotta 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.
30:35Work needs to start happening.
30:36We're moving.
30:40Today is the final push for Tori and Cory's dream home.
30:45We have a ton getting installed today.
30:47The green kitchen cabinets, the countertops, shower tile, pool tile, and the wainscoting going in in the main bedroom.
30:56All right, so I gotta ask you.
30:57What's that?
30:58Do you pronounce it wainscoting or wainscotting?
31:00Uh, scotting.
31:01Yeah, wainscotting.
31:02See, I say wainscoting.
31:03Scoting.
31:04Oh, okay.
31:05One more.
31:06Perfect.
31:07Hello, boys.
31:10Guess what I got.
31:12Oh, boy.
31:13Why'd you say it like that, Brian?
31:16Because I think it looks good white.
31:19Let me ask you something.
31:20How 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 gonna look good on these walls.
31:28So this is inspired.
31:30Can you trust me?
31:31All right.
31:32I guess I'm gonna have to.
31:33It's the parade of plants.
31:52Gotta bring the green, bring the outdoors in.
31:55T-minus one day for the reveal.
31:57Yikes.
31:58Wait a minute.
31:59I don't think we can move anything in the outdoor space right now.
32:02What?
32:03Wanna go see it?
32:04We are past our timeline.
32:06Look at this.
32:12This project has had many hiccups.
32:14This is a, this is a mess.
32:17It 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 gonna 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 gonna have this done by tomorrow.
32:31Joe says that they're gonna be here in about an hour.
32:34They're gonna finish it all and start filling it right away.
32:36And it's gonna take all night to fill it.
32:38We're trying to make up for lost time.
32:40Okay, these go for the island.
32:42We're gonna keep these covered just to be safe.
32:45Well, yeah.
32:47So, I mean, we have furniture coming in, but 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, come back to the kitchen.
32:59This certainly is not light, or is it?
33:06It's the question of the day.
33:09That better be my pool guy.
33:10Mig, is that the pool guys?
33:12Hopefully.
33:13Yes!
33:14I see pool chemicals!
33:17Woo-hoo!
33:18Tori and Cory are staying with family.
33:20They sold their other house.
33:21We need to get them in this house.
33:23So we're just gonna have to deal with a little bit of controlled chaos and get it done.
33:29This is cutting it way too close.
33:34Do you remember when you said that if we did a dark, rich, bold color that the room would feel smaller?
33:44Do you remember saying that?
33:46Mm-mm.
33:47I must have breathed in too many paint fumes.
33:48You might have.
33:49I still feel like there's a risk with that main suite, but I hope that both Tori and Cory love it.
33:55Yeah, this is Tori's new office, right?
33:58Let's set it here.
33:59We still gotta 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 Cory's budget, we unfortunately had to make some cuts to what they originally wanted to do,
34:17but I want to make sure when they come home tomorrow, they don't feel like we cut anything, and that's exactly the way they dreamed of.
34:24Not only does all this have to be spread, but it also has to set up, dry, and then we have to fill it up with water.
34:31I'm just gonna take all night long to fill this up.
34:35I'm starting to get a sinking feeling.
34:38Today has been a long time coming for Tori and Cory.
34:50I 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.
34:59Hey, we're gonna have to do the house tour in slow motion, so by the time we get out here, this is full of water.
35:06It's been a lot of up and down.
35:08Sometimes it's been mentally draining, but we had the finish line.
35:12The fact that we even got this to look the way it is right now.
35:16Do you remember what this pool looked like on day one?
35:18My butt still remembers what it was like, yes.
35:21The green swamp is gone.
35:24Hurry it up, Brian.
35:25What do you think that you're gonna be most excited about?
35:28The bedroom is gonna be real roomy.
35:30My number one spot is gonna be the kitchen.
35:33You got that farm sink.
35:35You got that old stainless steel hood.
35:38Easy cleaning.
35:39Oh, God help me.
35:41Oh, 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, this is what it's all about.
35:50Hey!
35:51Here we go, babe. This is it. This is what we've been waiting for.
35:56Hey!
35:58Corey and Tori have arrived.
36:01Hi!
36:06Hey, guys.
36:07It's been a minute.
36:08It has been.
36:09Oh, my gosh.
36:10So, y'all ready for this?
36:11Yes.
36:12So ready.
36:13She's ready.
36:14So ready.
36:15What a transformation.
36:16What's your favorite part of the exterior here?
36:18I would have to say the windows. Corey picked the windows.
36:21Yeah, 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.
36:29I gotta ask you, how's it been living with your daughter?
36:31It's been interesting.
36:32Grandkids, 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, when one house closes, another one opens.
36:43Excited.
36:44You ready to see it?
36:45Yes.
36:46I'm up to you.
36:47Ladies first.
36:48Come on, baby.
36:49Okay.
36:50Let's go.
36:51All right.
36:52Oh, wow.
36:56Now.
36:57Nice.
37:01It's okay.
37:02It's all right.
37:03It's okay.
37:04So beautiful.
37:05It's okay.
37:07Here you go.
37:08Oh, you're a gentleman.
37:09Aw, he came in there.
37:10Here you go.
37:11So much to look at.
37:12Yeah.
37:13Oh, 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.
37:20You'd have to back up a little bit.
37:22Right, right, right, right.
37:23Right here was the wall.
37:24Right.
37:25Now, you can see everything.
37:26Yeah.
37:27That's great.
37:28I know we had to pivot from the original floor plan.
37:29Yeah.
37:30You 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.
37:38Even though it's not enclosed, it's kind of set off so it could be functional for you.
37:42Nice sitting area.
37:43Yes.
37:44The flooring looks amazing.
37:45It just flows.
37:46Literally amazing.
37:47It kind of gives you a feel like a country cottage.
37:49Yeah.
37:50With a little bit of modern touch.
37:51Can I go in?
37:52This is your house.
37:53Wherever you want.
37:54Ooh.
37:55What's your cooking, honey?
37:56Look, babe.
37:57Look at the sink.
37:58She got a farm sink.
37:59She got her farm sink.
38:00Look at the sink.
38:01They can look outside.
38:02She got a farm sink, ladies and gentlemen.
38:03Look at the handles.
38:04Look, babe.
38:05Look.
38:06The gold handles I picked out.
38:07This kitchen, this is the old backyard lanai.
38:10Yes.
38:11This was the outside patio.
38:12Yes.
38:13This was the outside.
38:14It feels like such a different place.
38:15We 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.
38:25It definitely used to be green.
38:26Oh, and I forgot about that.
38:27Oh, yeah.
38:28Yes.
38:29The Oasis.
38:30This looks nice.
38:31Outdoor space.
38:32Looks really good.
38:33Whoa.
38:34This is what a pool is supposed to look like.
38:36Yes, it is.
38:37Yes.
38:38This is so good.
38:39What a transformation.
38:40Oh, my goodness.
38:41Right?
38:42This is where the grandkids are going to be hanging out.
38:46Let's see where Tori and Corey are going to be hanging out.
38:49Oh.
38:50You ready to see the main suite?
38:51Yes.
38:52Yes.
38:53After you.
38:54All right.
38:55Let's check out this primary suite.
38:56All right.
38:57Okay.
38:58Oh, wow.
38:59Oh.
39:00Okay.
39:01Okay.
39:02Nice.
39:03Okay.
39:04You feeling it?
39:05Hey, this is totally...
39:07It looks great.
39:09I was not expecting that.
39:10That was a good whoa.
39:11It's a great whoa.
39:12Yes.
39:13Most definitely.
39:14One thousand percent.
39:15You say whoa.
39:16I say pew.
39:17Yeah.
39:18Remember during the inspiration tours, you wanted modern farmhouse.
39:21You wanted red.
39:23So I feel like this color is a good compromise.
39:25It is.
39:26Because it's a little bit deeper.
39:27It's a richer tone.
39:28Oh.
39:29Oh.
39:30Oh.
39:31I guess I'll take a cheat.
39:32Go ahead.
39:33Go ahead.
39:34All right.
39:35I'll test it out with you.
39:36Yeah.
39:37I think that's the best view of the room.
39:38I love the color.
39:39It's beautiful.
39:40Oh.
39:41Burgundy.
39:42It's nice.
39:43Like wine.
39:44It looks good.
39:45It looks so cozy.
39:46This right here.
39:47This is home.
39:48Oh my goodness.
39:49Hold it over there.
39:50You know what this is?
39:51What?
39:52You don't remember?
39:53No, I don't.
39:54This is the wallpaper from the kitchen.
39:56Oh.
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.
40:04Part of the living room.
40:05This house was really hard to remember.
40:07Actually easy to forget.
40:08What?
40:09That non-functional, tiny bathroom.
40:12Yes, it was tiny.
40:13Ready to go see?
40:14Let's go check it out.
40:15Yeah, we couldn't even fit in that bathroom.
40:16Go ahead.
40:17Oh boy.
40:19Ta-da.
40:20What?
40:21Oh, wow.
40:22This 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.
40:30Oh my word.
40:31This is amazing.
40:32Can we go back to the kitchen for just one more time?
40:35Please.
40:36Yes.
40:37You're going to ask me twice.
40:38Let's go.
40:39All 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.
40:52Right.
40:53And 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.
41:08Yes.
41:09With your new house.
41:10Definitely we are.
41:11Are you overjoyed?
41:12I am overjoyed.
41:13That's excited.
41:14Don't forget to invite us to the first pool party.
41:15Hey, definitely.
41:16All right.
41:18Thanks, guys.
41:19You deserve it.
41:21We appreciate you guys.
41:22I'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
41:30and having family over for dinner.
41:32That sounds fantastic.
41:33Sign me up.
41:34Sign me up.
41:35How many do you think you can eat?
41:37That's for the race.
41:38Whoa.
41:39Ten?
41:40Ten of his ribs?
41:41Wow.
41:42This is life.
41:43You have your ups and downs.
41:44And just like this project, you had your ups and downs.
41:47So it all works out.
41:48Now 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?
41:59Thank you, Mary.
42:00Thank you, Mary.
