00:06Hey, Hank, can you dig me a hole right here?
00:09Today, our niece and nephew, Hank and Nell,
00:13my little brother Jesse, and his wife, Lauren,
00:15are going to come over.
00:16The kids will actually eat fresh vegetables
00:19if they pull them out of dirt first.
00:21Well, you're going to want to sit down.
00:23We got something to tell you.
00:24Are y'all OK?
00:25We bought a house.
00:27What?
00:28Yeah.
00:28Where?
00:29What house?
00:30In Ellisville.
00:30You want to see pictures?
00:32Yeah.
00:32OK.
00:33It needs some work.
00:34The house is not great.
00:36The house is not great.
00:37It's ugly.
00:38What brought this home?
00:40Where are we growing our house?
00:41Hold on.
00:42Are you pregnant?
00:45Good morning.
00:46Just another day of making our favorite small town better.
00:49Erin, we got to go, babe.
00:51Love you, girls.
00:51Y'all have fun.
00:52Ben, let's go.
00:53You believe we fixed up over 100 houses in Laurel?
00:55I don't know what's going to go wrong today.
00:57I'm sure something.
00:59Anytime we start a new house, we don't know how it's going to go.
01:01Girl, the bat just flew through here.
01:03That's not good.
01:05No way.
01:06They're about to see the house for the first time.
01:08This is the best part.
01:09Oh, my God.
01:11Are you serious right now?
01:12It is perfect.
01:13Every day is different when you're renovating houses in Laurel, Mississippi.
01:24Are you pregnant?
01:26We are.
01:27I knew you were pregnant.
01:29There's going to be another baby.
01:31Yeah.
01:32Oh, my gosh.
01:33You're pregnant.
01:34Yeah.
01:34You've listed the green house.
01:36Mm-hmm.
01:36And you are under contract.
01:38Mm-hmm.
01:38Yeah.
01:38You're talking about the one over by Katie and Chris's house?
01:41Where we saw y'all the other day?
01:43Hey, what are y'all doing?
01:45We're looking at a house.
01:47We'll tell y'all about it later.
01:49Did y'all just go look at it the one time?
01:51Yeah.
01:52Yeah.
01:52It was a great price.
01:53We got it for $200,000.
01:55Mm-hmm.
01:55We bought it because it has six acres.
01:58It has a huge kitchen.
01:59It has a pool.
02:00It has a basement.
02:02It needs a lot of love.
02:04Are you just going to move into it?
02:05We're going to do renovations.
02:07Has your house sold?
02:08No.
02:08That's yeah.
02:09We just put it on the market.
02:10Y'all, that was really, like, impulsive to buy a house before your other one sells.
02:16No need to fear.
02:17You look a little worried.
02:19We're going to be good.
02:19Their life is just a completely different thing than it was when we did the little green cottage.
02:26Welcome to the Napier house.
02:28Hey!
02:29Woo-hoo!
02:31Have you thought about that?
02:32That was the last Christmas and we didn't know it.
02:35We definitely have sweet memories there.
02:38You're just not as sentimental as we are, I guess.
02:41Yep.
02:43There will be more memories made at the new house.
02:47I just feel some, like, sadness because Ellisville is not two blocks away.
02:53It's a 15 minute drive to that house?
02:5515 minutes.
02:5615 minutes.
02:57Yeah.
02:57I love that house.
02:58We do too.
02:59But we're also outgrowing it, looking for more space.
03:03How big's the house?
03:04What's going on here?
03:04Same amount of bedrooms, but just more room in general.
03:07We love the basement.
03:08Let's play the last five years.
03:12They got married, bought a house.
03:15Oh my God!
03:18Oh, it looks so good!
03:20Dang!
03:20They got pregnant.
03:22They got pregnant again.
03:24They bought a small business.
03:27They frame shop in town.
03:30It's been four years.
03:31Yeah.
03:31And since then we have moved locations to a new building downtown.
03:35We now know got pregnant again, bought a new house, and listed their house.
03:40That's a lot.
03:42You're dramatic.
03:43I'm not being dramatic.
03:44We're going to try and do it ourselves.
03:46We're trying to be thrifty.
03:47We'll move in as is, and we probably won't do half the things before the baby comes.
03:53We love some paint ideas.
03:56I can definitely help.
03:57Kitchen ideas.
03:58We kind of want to do it.
03:59Yeah, we'll do it ourselves.
04:00All right.
04:01It's going to be good.
04:02We're excited.
04:04I am excited, but I am also nervous.
04:07So are we.
04:08Okay, good.
04:09That's what I needed to hear.
04:11Maybe if we talked about ideas and walked through the house with them,
04:16pumped them up about what we could offer, what we could bring to the table,
04:21that might soften them on this DIY thing they're so
04:25crazy obsessed with trying right now at the worst time possible.
04:32We want them to let us do this house, but they're not asking anybody to help do anything.
04:38I just want to help in some way.
04:40You can't be actively involved in helping them unless they ask for it.
04:44That is hard for you.
04:45But we're all like, dude, you need help.
04:52This weather was so crazy.
04:55Look at the paint.
04:56Holy smokes, y'all.
04:58The paint looks so good.
05:01You didn't even know if you was in the right house or not, did you?
05:02No.
05:03You got time.
05:04What all have you done inside?
05:06Blood room area.
05:08This looks special.
05:10Yeah.
05:11There's no wood floors in here.
05:12There's not wood underneath.
05:14It's all.
05:14No, we looked at it.
05:15It's just a plywood.
05:17We love the size.
05:18It's huge kitchen.
05:20That was a big selling point about the house.
05:22We would just like some updates.
05:23So how thrifty are we wanting to be?
05:26Like, do you want to use the cabinets that are here?
05:28Do you want to reface them?
05:29I'm okay to be thrifty elsewhere to have a better looking kitchen.
05:34We spend a lot of time in here.
05:36This, I think it's got to go because you've said you wish you could have a big island, right?
05:40There's plenty of room for that as long as that's not there.
05:43So if you lost that, you could open up a case opening here.
05:48You would need to push the ductwork up into the attic and then you would need like a laminated
05:52beam because you're going to have to have big support right here.
05:55Okay.
05:56But then we would build a huge island right here.
05:59I love that.
06:01You could have the fridge.
06:02These are great ideas.
06:03In the corner over there.
06:04The range would kind of shift.
06:05I like that.
06:06But you could have another oven in the island.
06:08You bake more than anybody I know.
06:10We're cooking family.
06:12And then as far as countertops.
06:14We loved our granite countertops at the previous home.
06:17I would love something.
06:18Have you ever seen green quartzite?
06:20No.
06:20Because I have been dying.
06:21But I love green.
06:24Oh, gosh.
06:26That's pretty.
06:27That's so you.
06:28I love it.
06:29They're kind of expensive though.
06:30So we don't have to do that.
06:31That would be a great choice.
06:32We could be thrifty elsewhere.
06:34I think a backslash that's classic but makes some kind of statement.
06:39Like you could do a two-tone field tile checkerboard pattern where it's like a terracotta and cream.
06:45If we went with like a cream color on the cabinetry.
06:48A deep ecru maybe if you wanted to have a little more color so it's not too white.
06:53I think you got to get rid of the floor.
06:55Yeah.
06:55I hate the floor.
06:56Rats of really cool sheet vinyl would be your super budget choice.
07:02Love that.
07:02Or you could tile in here and do something that's like a salteo colored hex tile I think would be
07:08really pretty.
07:09That would be so easy to clean too.
07:11The dishwasher works so we're going to keep that.
07:13Uh huh.
07:14We could look for appliances that are not super expensive because again they're not the star of the show.
07:19I'm fine with the little scratch and dent.
07:21So then you're going to be kind of sharing the space with the dining room.
07:24If you deleted the door and the window it would allow for a bigger dining room table.
07:31You could just really use the dining room though.
07:33And then lighting, paint.
07:35You got to refinish the floors though.
07:36Do you know how to refinish floors?
07:38I was just going to get on the internet and watch a video.
07:42What are you thinking about the bathroom?
07:44This is going to be the kids slash guest bathroom probably most used.
07:50This tile is really great.
07:54This tile is really bad.
07:57It's a whole situation.
07:58We really love the blue 50s, 60s look.
08:02I mean it's appropriate.
08:05Everything else, the stucco walls.
08:08Yeah, it's bad.
08:09What are you going to do?
08:10Sheet rock over it.
08:11Or cut it out.
08:13I have no idea how to do that.
08:14That's going to be another internet video.
08:16I love the idea of keeping the blue tile and doing some type of wallpaper in here.
08:21Yes.
08:21And then, you know, find a vanity or something.
08:24Yeah, you can definitely get a prefab vanity that's beautiful.
08:28Yeah.
08:28And that would save a lot of money.
08:29Something thrifty.
08:30And you said you definitely need double sinks in the kids bathroom.
08:33Yeah.
08:34All right.
08:34So that's what we're doing in here.
08:36So the biggest style changer in here would be, I think you got to take all this off completely.
08:42I would love- And re-sheet rock.
08:44I would love like a wallpaper.
08:45Yes.
08:46I love pattern.
08:47And then taking out this tile floor, you could do possibly a sheet vinyl that looks like mosaic,
08:53just like white floor tile, or you could actually do mosaic floor tile is not that expensive.
08:58Yes.
08:58By a beautiful prefab vanity unit.
09:00You could have a funky little semi-flush light fixture.
09:04Yes.
09:04You could have a funky mirror and hardware for paint towels.
09:08I love like curves and different shapes and texture.
09:12Yes.
09:13I love the idea of mixing all of that together.
09:15Are we happy with the tub?
09:16We like the tub.
09:17I love the tub.
09:18You get Marletta to refinish that.
09:20That's not expensive.
09:21Okay.
09:21What else have y'all done?
09:23Nothing's changed in here.
09:24No, the hallway's the same.
09:25We have done some painting.
09:26The kids' room.
09:27How is that?
09:28Oh, the paint looks good.
09:30We didn't paint.
09:31My parents painted.
09:32Just because some of the paint, I can't be around while being pregnant.
09:35I have been pregnant and renovated.
09:37I just remember how stressful it was.
09:39We would be living in a lot of the renovation.
09:41Yeah, which doesn't sound appealing.
09:44I mean, you still have such a very long way to go.
09:48And you're halfway to growing a full baby.
09:51And it's not getting easier.
09:52Before you can live in this house, you need the kitchen.
09:55A kitchen and a bathroom.
09:56Yep.
09:57And you need one bathroom.
09:58We were prepared to do it ourselves when we bought the house.
10:01Yeah.
10:02I think realistically, it's going to take longer to do it yourself than you have thought about.
10:08I'm just going to buy a house.
10:09It's going to work.
10:09We can figure it out.
10:10We're going to fix it up ourselves.
10:11We're thrifty.
10:12We're capable.
10:13All of that is true.
10:15Like, even though the house is not really a disaster, it's just that I don't think that
10:19they can possibly fix it before the baby comes.
10:22I just don't think we kind of realized how much of a big burden that would be.
10:27The idea of not living in the house while it's getting renovated is appealing.
10:31That is a little overwhelming.
10:32We don't like to ask for help.
10:34But they have more of a shot at getting all this done than we do ourselves.
10:38The house sold.
10:39You need some of that money to pay for this one.
10:42But then you have some left over.
10:44We've got $75,000 that you want to spend on this house.
10:50Yeah.
10:50To renovate.
10:51What were you thinking?
10:52What if we take the $75,000?
10:55We could just do the urgent rooms only.
10:57Kitchen, a bathroom, and get in the dining room, living room, livable.
11:01Your roof's 25 years old, so we need to work in $10,000 for that.
11:05I like that.
11:07Yeah.
11:07We like that.
11:07Yeah.
11:08Y'all are currently a family of four, and you only have a few more weekends of that.
11:14Before little sister arrives.
11:16Is it a little sister?
11:17It is a little sister.
11:18I bet y'all already have a name picked out.
11:20Bonnie.
11:21Girls.
11:22Little girls.
11:23So many girls.
11:24Hank's so outnumbered.
11:26I love everything that we talked about when we were walking through.
11:29Yeah.
11:30I feel like $75,000 would do it.
11:32It would be so much fun to do it again.
11:34Let's let them do it.
11:35Yeah.
11:36Okay.
11:36You want to do it?
11:37Let's do it.
11:38Let's do it.
11:39Let's do it.
11:40Be thrifty.
11:41You starting today?
11:42No.
11:43Um, I can show you some stuff.
11:46No.
11:46We'll come back and talk about the outside when it's not raining.
11:48We'll be right back and talk about the outside when it's not raining.
12:14We'll be right back and talk about the outside when it's not raining.
12:16And your big brother.
12:18Tom's not here yet.
12:19Tom's not here yet.
12:19I don't know if he's coming.
12:21Let's go.
12:22What's with this?
12:22I don't have no tools.
12:23I'm in charge, Jesse.
12:24Jesse, come back over here.
12:26I'm in charge.
12:26All right.
12:27Jeez.
12:29All right, let's do this.
12:48So you canceled class for this.
12:50I canceled it just for Jesse.
12:51Just for you, buddy.
12:52Thanks, man.
12:53Vanity didn't even take off work.
12:55No.
12:59You heard from Tom?
13:00He never showed.
13:01I wanted to get out of it, too.
13:05I wish we could keep this blue tile on this wall,
13:09but I don't know what we'll do ultimately, because we're going to have,
13:11I think budget will only handle a prefab vanity.
13:14But let's just see how much of the blue we can save on this wall.
13:25That mirror is hanging by a thread now.
13:28This scares me.
13:31We did it.
13:33It did great.
13:35Pretty impressive.
13:35I feel like that never happened.
13:40There's pretty tile back there.
13:45I think that is some super 70s tile.
13:47Look, I'm excited.
13:49Anything we can find that is usable that could become beautiful.
13:51It's super on board to keep it.
13:55I wanted to be an archaeologist when I was little.
13:58I wanted to dig for dinosaur bones.
14:00It's pretty close.
14:00This is it.
14:03What'd you find?
14:04Can y'all be delicate?
14:05Oh, I can be delicate.
14:06Sam's leaving.
14:08Nope.
14:08I want to uncover, unwrap the original vanity.
14:11My first thought was, let's just rip the whole vanity out
14:13and see if this continues behind it.
14:15But I really don't think it does.
14:26Oh, yeah.
14:27That is so cool.
14:28Doyle rules.
14:30That's easy to clean off.
14:31Uh-huh.
14:32To rework the vanity, we couldn't make it have double sinks no matter what,
14:36because the hole is cut in the center.
14:38So I called Lauren, and Lauren said she definitely would prefer double sinks over the original
14:44vanity with that backslash tile that we found.
14:47So we've got to just carefully cut the tile on the wall and remove the original vanity.
14:54Whatever we do, I just want to save money wherever we can.
14:58All of our big splurgy things have to happen in the kitchen.
15:02So if we can save money in the bathroom, I want to do it.
15:16Jaycee and Lauren are coming by the house today while they're staying at Lauren's parents.
15:19So they're going to swing by and grab a couple things while we're here working.
15:23We have a watercolor to show them, and that is exciting,
15:26because they've already painted the house, and it looks great.
15:29While they're here, I want to just talk about the roof,
15:31and how I think mid-century houses were less afraid to use color on the roof.
15:36What are y'all doing?
15:38Well, I got the painting ready to show them.
15:40Jesse! Come here!
15:44Do you want to see?
15:45Yeah, I want to see.
15:48You switch it off?
15:49I want to show you your house, but now I'm standing here realizing
15:52the trees are pretty obstructive.
15:54Preference on keeping all the trees that are close to the house.
15:57I don't mind getting rid of these two.
16:00Anyway, just something to think about, because if you had no trees,
16:03this is what you would see.
16:05Super cool!
16:06I love that.
16:07I love the green roof.
16:09So my thinking was we went so green at your last house, and you still love it.
16:13Yeah.
16:14We could have a roof that's just a solid dark green.
16:17Do you have anything that's kind of a little more funky?
16:19I have a shingle sample that definitely has flecks of cream, light green, and dark green.
16:24Oh, I like that idea of the cream.
16:26So yeah, I think it could really bring out the color you fainted it.
16:29Yeah.
16:30I love what's going on here.
16:32This is a mid-century style house.
16:33If you did this mid-century modern, mahogany, custom-made door with a clear coat.
16:39That sounds really pretty.
16:40This railing was my idea, because this wrought iron one is really loose,
16:46and it's pulled the anchors out of the brick.
16:49It has to be replaced.
16:50Replaced or fixed.
16:51I have cypress leftover from a project.
16:53Oh!
16:54And so we could use it on there.
16:56Oh, yeah.
16:57Uh, if we can save money wherever we can, we'd love that.
17:00Okay.
17:00Yeah.
17:01I'm trying to save money, like, everywhere.
17:02Anywhere we can.
17:03I love that.
17:04So the thing is, we're getting really close to bringing in cabinets and things like that,
17:08and I'd love for you to be surprised.
17:10What if I finish mowing?
17:12Yeah.
17:13If you can get, like, your last box of things, whatever that is.
17:16Yeah.
17:17All right, let's get going.
17:18Yeah.
17:18Jason, show me how this mower works.
17:20All right.
17:21Careful with it.
17:22I think that's got a 300-pound rating.
17:25When you're designing a home that your family's going to live in,
17:29it won't end when they move in for us.
17:32It's going to keep going.
17:33So it's more than just a house that needs help.
17:35This is, like...
17:36It's the backdrop to our family.
17:38Yeah.
17:46So I hear you got some issues with this bathroom tile.
17:49Yeah, you could say that.
17:50We got to talk to David about the bathroom because I know that...
17:53This is a different kind of tile problem.
17:54I love the bathroom tile for once.
17:57Right.
17:57And I want to use every bit of it that's here,
18:00but I'm really scared that you're about to tell me something awful.
18:04What's going on?
18:05Look here at this corner.
18:06You got a broke tile.
18:07Where's it at?
18:08Well, it was here.
18:09And now it's not.
18:10We don't know where that piece went.
18:12I'm sure...
18:13So it's here somewhere, right?
18:14It got nicked and then hit the floor,
18:17and I guess it got scooped up and carried out with the rest of the trash.
18:21We really need that.
18:22It is what everything I'm designing hinges on.
18:25Like, if the tile is not there, the whole bathroom design falls apart.
18:29But also, we need it for money.
18:32Well, I got to keep this tile.
18:33We are not changing the tile.
18:35It's a vintage tile.
18:36It's worth saving.
18:38It's beautiful.
18:38This area here.
18:40Well, that's about to fall off the wall right there.
18:43Oh, yeah.
18:43It's just loose.
18:44I just take all the loose ones out, cut some of this grout out, restickle.
18:48Currently, the problem that we have is that we don't know what happened to these.
18:52Someone has thrown them away.
18:54I can do that.
18:54There are places you can find it.
18:56I'm gonna find it.
18:57Yeah, I guarantee you can't find that.
18:59It's vintage tile.
19:00That corner is gonna be near impossible to find.
19:04What are you gonna do with this floor?
19:05This floor is getting new tile.
19:06We're gonna do an inexpensive white hex mosaic tile on the floor.
19:12And it's just not making a statement,
19:13because we want everything else in the room to make the statement.
19:16So, I'm gonna go check the dumpster.
19:17Y'all keep talking about where you're gonna find it online and all that?
19:21You know what?
19:21We got a bet going on.
19:23He's not gonna find it.
19:25Don't be tough if he does.
19:27See what you can find.
19:28All right.
19:28What do I get if I win?
19:29Pot roast with rice and gravy.
19:36I think that I'm gonna be the one to find the tile.
19:38Because we had it and now we don't, which means it's here.
19:44I think the chances of you finding that very corner piece
19:48that came off of the wall is so slim.
19:53It's gonna be like finding a baby sock in a dumpster.
20:04Corner piece!
20:06That's it.
20:07I'm pretty sure I found what will work.
20:10Pot roast.
20:11Did you find?
20:12Well, I haven't, I haven't looked that clear.
20:13I have found...
20:14The corner piece.
20:15I found a corner piece.
20:17This ought to work if I can get it off in one piece.
20:19Yes, it's got me a corner.
20:30Chicken Coop 101.
20:32If your wife wants it...
20:33You build it.
20:34You build it.
20:35So why didn't Jessie build this?
20:37Well, Lauren told me that it would be a dream come true.
20:41If they could have gardens and chickens.
20:45Sis is making her own bread.
20:46She's gonna be also making her own eggs.
20:49I was raised on a chicken farm,
20:50but like a commercial one.
20:51There were no coops.
20:53I have no experience with chicken coops,
20:55but I've been reading.
20:56You can put six chickens in a 36 square foot
21:01chicken coop.
21:01That's what you need.
21:02Okay.
21:03I think we could put it in the front yard
21:05somewhere to the side.
21:06For me, the most important thing about the chicken coop
21:08is that Hank and Nail and future baby Napier
21:12can open and access the eggs.
21:14Because think about how exciting that is
21:16that every morning to go out and get eggs
21:18from the chicken coop for breakfast.
21:21So here was my thought.
21:22This is all scrap stuff from the factory that I've just been compiling over here.
21:26This is all Spanish cedar because I want it to be a pretty chicken coop.
21:30Yes, of course.
21:31I'm gonna buy two sheets of plywood.
21:32Everything else will be scraps.
21:34Yeah.
21:34It should be like a little small thing.
21:38Here's what I saw in my mind's eye.
21:40I thought it would be like five feet wide, maybe seven feet high egg box wall.
21:47These boxes need to be between 12 and 20 inches off the ground.
21:50The chickens need to feel like they have privacy and comfort so they can lay their eggs.
21:54And so then you would have a screen door here or, you know, chicken wire.
21:58The chickens having their little privacy wall here of slats.
22:02This is all screen.
22:04You gotta have the little ladder.
22:06Those chickens can't fly.
22:08And then I imagined it having wheels.
22:11And on this end, wheelbarrow style handles that you pick up one,
22:17I'll pick up one and we'll move it together.
22:18But this is definitely no taller than like seven feet at the tallest point.
22:24I want to have some color.
22:25I brought some color samples.
22:27All right.
22:28I trust you.
22:29It's gonna be great.
22:30So I'm essentially building a rickshaw, but it's a chick shawl.
23:01That's, that's close.
23:03Okay.
23:04Feels a little tight right here.
23:05Can it go that way a little bit?
23:06Oh yeah, yeah, sure.
23:07And I know we'll have overhang for the bar.
23:10Yeah, that feels way better.
23:11I think this kitchen feels super comfortable, especially with lots of kids.
23:15Lauren is going to freak out.
23:19You know what'll make her really love this kitchen?
23:22Green quartzite?
23:23Yeah.
23:24Sure wish I could afford it.
23:25I'm working on it though.
23:25I think I'm close.
23:26Like if we reuse their old dishwasher and I save money into a prefab vanity in the bathroom,
23:32I've asked the moms to come help us paint.
23:35So that should save us a little bit.
23:36I think I'm like $500 away.
23:53Front door is going in today.
23:55Big moment.
23:56I hate leaded glass.
23:58That front door is terrible on this house.
24:001960s ranch.
24:01It's not the time for a 1980s leaded glass.
24:06Man, I like this door.
24:08A front door is the taste maker of a house.
24:10It really does tell you what to believe about this house.
24:14So that's what I think this front door is going to do.
24:16It's going to be transformative.
24:17This is what tells the world the house is mid-century.
24:21So this door is more modern than what we typically do?
24:25Mm-hmm.
24:25But Jesse and Lauren really like that.
24:27The things that Lauren and Jesse really gravitate toward is using natural wood wherever you can add it.
24:33And this front door does that.
24:35I love this door.
24:36How's it look?
24:37Looks great.
24:51Lauren has been really crazy about these European kitchens that are super minimalist, that are all about function.
24:58And then you'll see a checkerboard pattern on the backsplash.
25:01Okay.
25:01This house is different.
25:02It's a little bit funky.
25:03So we have the terracotta and cream everywhere.
25:06The countertops are going to be a dark green quartzite, which we've never used before because it's crazy expensive.
25:13But I can't wait to see that.
25:15I know.
25:15Well, I'm being very splurgy.
25:17We've saved money everywhere.
25:18Like this is a super budget terracotta look towel.
25:22Okay.
25:22Lauren wants terracotta towel floors.
25:25I cannot afford terracotta towel floors, but I can afford ceramic towel that is the color of terracotta.
25:32It works with this also cheap version of zilege tile that's really not zilege.
25:39Right, right.
25:39But it's going to look beautiful, and we can do it under budget.
25:51Don't forget, this is vintage.
25:53If, by some completely off chance, you were to break this one tile, I don't have a backup.
26:05Oh my goodness.
26:09Please be gentle.
26:23It came off in my hand.
26:25That is a lot of luck right there.
26:27Oh, I thought it broke off.
26:31I thought it broke too there for a minute.
26:34Great job, Ben.
26:35I was worried about that one piece.
26:37You saved the whole bathroom with a single tile.
26:40Mike could say I saved the house.
26:41When David took that tile and just carefully placed it in the spot,
26:47it's like the house unlocked.
26:49It unlocked its full potential for us.
26:52Good job.
26:54That's what we needed.
27:12Lauren's parents, Lynn and Sunny, have been here painting every minute they're not at work.
27:18Miss Lynn, you've been so busy.
27:20I know.
27:21So she started the dining room today, and me and Ben's mom are here, and we're going to try to
27:27knock out dining room and living room tonight.
27:31Lauren has said she's so, so, so thankful for y'all letting them stay.
27:35I love them staying.
27:36I don't want them to move.
27:37I think you're lying.
27:39I'm not lying.
27:40I love having them.
27:41Painting is not fun, but it's something that has to be done.
27:45Well, anybody can do it.
27:46You just have to want to.
27:48You know, I don't really want to anymore.
27:50I used to watch them.
27:57Y'all, we're getting a roof today, and they are so fast.
28:02If Erin gets her pick, it's going to be a statement roof.
28:06I get to do it this time.
28:07We don't always, so it's a fun day for me.
28:20Floors are getting refinished.
28:21That is exciting because that was the ugliest thing about the whole house.
28:25Jesse and Lauren really wanted to sand the floor themselves.
28:28We think this needs professional help.
28:31Those floors are in really rough shape.
28:32I think it's going to cost about $2,500, but it's important.
28:35But now that you just see the clear, beautiful oak, it's so blonde and bright.
28:40And I think a water-based clear coat is going to do the trick to keep it light so it
28:46doesn't
28:46become red with like an oil-based clear coat.
28:54Oh, I'm so sorry.
28:55The weather's like this today.
28:59What a lovely day.
29:02Great day for moving thousands of pounds of stone.
29:05The moment I saw it pop up on my calendar that we were going to get to get the stone
29:10today, I have been giddy.
29:13We've just never gotten to choose a colorful stone with so much movement that's so out of the ordinary.
29:19That's so good.
29:20I was so scared when I first saw the trailer coming because I saw the back side and it's gray.
29:25And I was like, oh, it's supposed to be green.
29:28This is so beautiful.
29:30This is so cool, y'all.
29:35That was slick.
29:36Hey, how does it look with the door?
29:37I am so nervous about corners getting chipped off.
29:40I know.
29:42Guys, this is our first countertop that is a color.
29:46I like that.
29:47This is big.
29:48It's so unexpected and so Lauren and Jesse.
29:52It's so good.
29:56That one.
29:57You like it?
29:58I tried so hard to color match the front door to the countertop without having a sample of the
30:03countertop.
30:03I was just going off of a picture.
30:05I know that it was splurgy to get this countertop.
30:07It was totally worth it.
30:09We scrimped and we saved.
30:11It just looks really expensive.
30:13Because it was.
30:14Because it was.
30:15Yeah.
30:25Golly, that looks good with the floor.
30:26This is like the beach.
30:29The ocean and the sand.
30:31Dave is going to do the backsplash today.
30:34Really?
30:35Yes.
30:44We got another problem in the bathroom.
30:47I don't know.
30:47David texted me.
30:49Okay.
30:52Ooh, love it, love it, love it, love it.
30:55I've been so ready to see this wallpaper because that is what makes this all finally make sense.
31:01This is the exact same color.
31:04Yes.
31:05These blueberries match the towel.
31:07It's all so youthful.
31:10So we're taking this very old powder blue look that's dated.
31:15But when you change the upper half of the wall, it changes everything.
31:18Oh, yeah.
31:19What do you think?
31:19I love it.
31:20What's the problem?
31:21David's gone now, but he texted me that he didn't have much luck getting the blue tile off the board.
31:29He tried soaking it and every time the tile would crack.
31:31David had to cut out the old tile that was loose here.
31:35So now we have a space that the vanity is not big enough to cover.
31:40And we got to fill the gap.
31:42All right.
31:42Now that I'm looking at it, what if we just push the vanity this way so it touches the tile.
31:47And then in that corner have a linen cabinet to the ceiling.
31:51We could do like spice rack pull-out drawers style so you could see from the side all your product.
31:56Cool.
31:57Because it's the only way we can deal with the tile hole.
32:02Look how good that tile looks right there.
32:04That one tile is so fun.
32:06Now we got to get Marletta to refinish the tub.
32:09I think it's in good shape.
32:11It needs a cleaning more than anything.
32:13Cool.
32:26There's no one in the door strikes.
32:30We could carry it every weekend.
32:58I don't know how chicken coopery works, but long enough, it's a good idea.
33:03Lauren wants it real bad.
33:04That'll be a huge surprise for her.
33:09I am so thrilled with how this house turned out.
33:14It is so distinctly Lauren and Jessie.
33:17They're colorful.
33:18They're offbeat.
33:19They admire the unusual and their house should reflect that.
33:24The bathroom was the problem child of this house, all in the pursuit of original tile.
33:31Was it worth it?
33:32I think so.
33:33The vanity was not expensive, but I thought if we add custom hardware,
33:41then it feels like it is, you know?
33:43It's really pretty.
33:44Similar.
33:45We did an inexpensive sconce up there and it just had white shades, but a painted stripes.
33:50Oh, I love that.
33:51Did I go too far?
33:52Nope.
33:57See, the thing that's different is that I'm going to spend a lot of time in this house.
34:02Usually we finish a house and we say goodbye.
34:04It's a special relationship with the whole design process.
34:09When you really can envision yourself being a part of a project beyond completion.
34:15Welcome to the Napier house.
34:17Woo!
34:18Holy cow!
34:20I love it!
34:26That looks so good!
34:28My gosh.
34:30That's awesome.
34:31Y'all, this looks great!
34:37You see that door?
34:38Oh, I love the front door.
34:41The door is custom built mahogany.
34:43Wow.
34:43Shoot!
34:44I love the little window.
34:45Oh, and the railing looks so good.
34:48Not only does it look good, it is rock solid.
34:51So Hank and Nail aren't going to...
34:53I love that.
34:54Because I know they're going to climb on it.
34:55I love the lines that it kind of creates with the windows.
34:58The door, the railing, the windows.
35:00It's very linear.
35:02I love it.
35:03And that is the theme of a mid-century house.
35:06And we just kind of pushed it in there.
35:07Yeah, I love that.
35:08I love the green roof.
35:10It's not too green, either.
35:11It's just so new and fresh.
35:13Yeah.
35:13And the color is honestly kind of nondescript.
35:16It looks very cool.
35:16Because you can't really see your roof.
35:18I love it.
35:19Hey, look at that over there.
35:21Whoa!
35:24Is that a chicken coop?
35:25That's a chicken coop!
35:26Hot dog!
35:27Shut up!
35:29The back of it is really beautiful.
35:30Did y'all build that?
35:31We did.
35:32We got Spanish cedar, treated pine.
35:34It should last a very long time.
35:36It's so pretty.
35:38I love the wood.
35:39Yeah.
35:39The slatted look was, you know, to tie it to the house.
35:42Yeah.
35:42I wanted it to be bigger.
35:44Then Erin said, no, build it this size and put it on wheels.
35:47And I built it this size.
35:48There's no way you could have moved it, even if it had wheels on.
35:51So we'll use the tractor to put it where you want it later.
35:53Okay.
35:54Yes!
35:55Let's go inside.
35:56I can't.
35:56You want to?
35:57I want to.
35:57Y'all go home.
35:59Slow down, Jessie.
36:00Your wife's pregnant.
36:06Oh, my goodness.
36:07Uh-huh!
36:14Oh, my goodness.
36:19Yeah!
36:20This is so cool.
36:21This is like the easy.
36:22We didn't do anything.
36:23We just painted it.
36:24But I mean.
36:25The floor.
36:25Ah!
36:26Isn't that pretty?
36:27That's real wood, baby.
36:28I did not think that this floor could be this.
36:31This is beautiful.
36:33This is so nice.
36:35I can't get over it.
36:36So much lighter in here.
36:37I know.
36:37The colors in here are the colors we used in your house before.
36:41Yeah.
36:42The walls.
36:42I love it.
36:43The same living room colors.
36:44The grandmas helped paint it.
36:46Yeah.
36:46They saved us some dope.
36:47That was the game of the game.
36:48I'm down for that.
36:49As we try to save you money everywhere.
36:51I love it.
36:51Like the baby.
36:52Yeah.
36:53Already ready for Bonnie.
36:54That was Helen's and then it was May's and now it's Bonnie's and I got all their names
36:58and bordered on it.
37:00So sweet.
37:04I love this.
37:05Hi, Jessie.
37:06I love this.
37:09Let's keep going.
37:10Go see your dining room.
37:11Take her, Jessie.
37:12Show her something.
37:13We did a little something something.
37:17Holy cow.
37:19Y'all.
37:20Okay.
37:20You like it?
37:21Yeah.
37:21Okay.
37:23It's nice.
37:24It's really pretty.
37:25We can all sit here.
37:27I'm just so excited to have everybody here so we can all eat together and hang out.
37:32Do you like the style?
37:33I love the opal.
37:35Did you help with this?
37:36A little bit.
37:37A little bit.
37:38So this is white oak and Jessie and I wanted to do the tapered legs.
37:42But it's just like one piece, right?
37:44Yes.
37:44There's no leaf in there.
37:45No leaf.
37:45It's an X underneath.
37:47Your legs can fit.
37:48Yeah.
37:48More tall people leg room.
37:49Yeah.
37:50Yay.
37:50Ben found these folding chairs.
37:52It was a set of 12 for $300.
37:55Dude.
37:55Heck yes.
37:56There was a door here, by the way.
37:58I saw that.
38:00A door and a window.
38:00I forgot.
38:01I love where it's all blocked off.
38:02Mm-hmm.
38:03I love this space.
38:04Let's go see.
38:06Holy.
38:06Oh.
38:07Holy cow.
38:08Y'all.
38:11Oh my goodness.
38:14This is awesome.
38:17Y'all.
38:18I know.
38:19You're so fancy.
38:20Oh my goodness.
38:23This is so pretty.
38:26This is the most expensive countertop we've ever used.
38:28This is gorgeous.
38:29It's so.
38:30It looks like it.
38:31It's so unique.
38:32It's quartzite.
38:33I love the deep green, but I also love the variation.
38:36It just looks like the ocean.
38:38Gosh.
38:39This counter space.
38:40I love so much.
38:41Golly.
38:42These are beautiful.
38:43I'm glad we were thrifty elsewhere to splurge here.
38:47We found a lot of ways to save the money to give you so much pretty counter space.
38:51Saving your dishwasher and reusing it.
38:54Yes.
38:55Using porcelain tile instead of a concrete.
38:57I wouldn't know.
38:59No one would know.
38:59I wouldn't know, yeah.
39:00They're beautiful.
39:00They're super affordable.
39:02I like that it's like a mat.
39:03Yeah.
39:04To the tile.
39:04Then the backsplash was also a super affordable tile, but you put it in an unexpected pattern
39:09and it becomes.
39:10That's awesome.
39:11I've never seen it like that.
39:12I love the checkered pattern.
39:14Good.
39:14We saved a lot of money using these cabinet door profiles.
39:18These are the most affordable cabinet doors you could get.
39:21This is the, we didn't do anything fancy with the cabinet.
39:24The cabinets are great.
39:25The handle is what makes it.
39:27It looks like mid-century modern look.
39:29You have double ovens.
39:32Is that what this is?
39:33Yeah.
39:35That's so nice.
39:36Oh my gosh.
39:37All the bread.
39:37Having both of these.
39:38All the bread.
39:39So you can do a loaf of bread for your family and a loaf of bread for our family.
39:43All at the same time.
39:44Every day.
39:45Every day if you need to.
39:46Every day if I need to.
39:48Yeah.
39:48It's so bright.
39:50It's so big.
39:51Doesn't even look like the same place.
39:52I love how this wall is open.
39:55Without that side here of the random walkway and that random window bar, there's just so much space.
40:02This view looking into the house is awesome.
40:06I can see the kids.
40:07They can see me.
40:08But we're not all on each other.
40:10Yeah.
40:11Wanna go see the bathroom?
40:12Yes.
40:12Yes.
40:13Come on.
40:13Look at your house.
40:14I love everything.
40:19No way.
40:24Oh my goodness.
40:26It tried to kill us, but this is gorgeous.
40:31Isn't that fun?
40:32It does look.
40:33It killed you.
40:34Cool.
40:36Oh, this wallpaper.
40:38It's the same that's in our guest bathroom, but a different color way.
40:42I'm a big fan.
40:43Yeah.
40:44I love the bright little pops of color too.
40:46Yeah.
40:47This vanity looks.
40:48I'm glad you like it.
40:50I'm glad you like that, Lauren.
40:51The floors.
40:53The floors.
40:54They're nice.
40:55Do you remember what this looked like?
40:56Stucco.
40:57The heavy stucco awful.
40:59Yeah.
41:00Okay.
41:00We demoed everything.
41:02In the process, the tile on the wall started coming off.
41:05And that meant the vanity had to scoot down here.
41:07And that meant there was a big gap down there where there was no tile on the corner.
41:11So we had to build a cabinet.
41:13I love it.
41:13Wow.
41:13But it's really actually cool because the top one pulls out like a spice rack.
41:19Oh, heck yeah.
41:20This is so nice.
41:22Because I figure you'll have two girls at minimum using the bathroom.
41:25Yeah.
41:25Absolutely.
41:26You need product storage.
41:28This is gorgeous.
41:30I'm so thankful y'all were able to save the blue tile.
41:33I'm so sorry that it was a hassle.
41:34That's okay.
41:35It saved money.
41:36We have new shower fixtures and Marletta refinished the tub.
41:40The tub is beautiful.
41:43It's so clean and smooth.
41:46I painted stripes on your lamp.
41:48Wait, you painted those on there?
41:50I painted the stripes on the scotches.
41:52Well, y'all did good.
41:55Let's go look at the chicken house.
41:56Yeah.
41:57It's a chicken coop.
41:59I know.
42:02This is a legit chicken house.
42:04This looks awesome.
42:05I love that there's so much space for the girls.
42:09What are the girls' names going to be?
42:11Well, there are grandmother and great-grandmother's names.
42:14Bertil, Mavis, Inez, Janice, Darce.
42:22I love this.
42:23You like it?
42:23This is gorgeous, y'all.
42:25I love it.
42:25Yes.
42:27How'd we do?
42:29Y'all knocked it out of the park.
42:30I can't wait to live here for a long, long time.
42:33You got the house for $200,000.
42:35We objected.
42:36We were wrong.
42:36Did you object more than you let on?
42:38Yes.
42:39Yeah.
42:39In private, there was great objection.
42:41We felt it.
42:43DIYing it scared us.
42:44We squeezed every bit of the $75,000 y'all gave us
42:48and then had some family members chip in.
42:50I love it now.
42:52I do, too.
42:52Pretty dang good.
42:53Yeah, I feel like this was a great idea.
42:55We did great.
42:56Awesome house, guys.
42:57Good job.
42:58Good job.
42:58Yeah.
42:59Thank y'all.
42:59We did it before Bonnie comes.
43:01I'm just really proud of that.
43:03Awesome job, y'all.
43:07Welcome.
43:08We'll be back.
