00:00Hey, yo, let's go.
00:04Let me try something new for you.
00:06When everything hit you, got you telling you for it.
00:09And the whole group like royals, like royals.
00:11You had it in a pot with the royals.
00:16Did you see the employee sent you for Hermie and Angie's place?
00:19Yeah.
00:20They've been in that place for two decades.
00:23Because when kids are small, you don't want to change anything
00:26that's going to cause chaos.
00:27But they're at a point now where they're like,
00:29it has to happen.
00:30I think the biggest issue is their work environment.
00:32They both work from home.
00:33Oh, my gosh.
00:34Can you imagine working in small, confined spaces
00:37with the same person every single day and having no escape?
00:40What do you mean?
00:40Can you imagine?
00:42No, but at least you and I can escape
00:43and go to our own respective houses at the end of the day.
00:45Well, I think the new norm for a lot of people
00:47is having a home office.
00:48So let's find a way to give them a little privacy.
00:50Absolutely.
00:56This is my nightmare.
00:57It's really frustrating.
00:58Oh, this is not good.
01:01What?
01:02I'm stressed.
01:02You're not alone.
01:04This all has to be ripped out.
01:06I kind of feel like throwing up.
01:07And rebuilt.
01:09I don't want to finish a beautiful house,
01:11and then they aren't happy.
01:12No pressure.
01:13My hope is that they will see this house
01:15as everything they've dreamed of.
01:17I love the house now.
01:18Before, it was a love-hate.
01:28Hermie and Angie live in Monrovia,
01:30which is a great part of L.A.
01:32And I get why they never want to leave,
01:33because they bought their house so far back,
01:35it's when houses were actually affordable.
01:37Yeah, they've lived here for decades,
01:38but markets change, your needs change,
01:40and we just don't want them to hate the house,
01:41because it hasn't changed.
01:43So, thank you for welcoming us into your home.
01:46How many years has it been?
01:4719 years.
01:4819 years.
01:49So this really was looking pretty sweet.
01:52Everything was just finished and ready to go,
01:55and that's what we loved about the home,
01:57because she was pregnant at the time,
01:59and we didn't want to have to do any extra work,
02:01but we both work from home.
02:03Yeah, things have changed quite a bit.
02:05Things have changed.
02:06We're here in the house 24 hours a day now, so...
02:10No escape from each other.
02:11No escaping from each other.
02:13And so the problems in the home become more evident.
02:16So you have two kids, right?
02:18Yes.
02:18Do they both still live here?
02:20Yes, they do.
02:21Okay.
02:21Our kids are older, um...
02:24Things that we didn't care about then,
02:26we're caring more about now.
02:28We're on top of each other.
02:29We spent a lot of time in this home.
02:31We love the neighborhood.
02:33So I feel like that's a sign that we need to stay here
02:36and just make things better.
02:37Do you want to show us some of the stress points?
02:39Yeah, let's go down and see.
02:41All right.
02:42Oh, wow, I see multiple flooring types.
02:44Okay, yes.
02:44I really don't like that we have four types of dated flooring.
02:48It looks terrible.
02:50I wish it just felt a little more unified.
02:52After this holy floor is there,
02:55we have this little powder room here
02:57that we'd like to be updated as well.
02:59It's frustrating to see.
03:01Your TV's here.
03:02However, the other chair, which is the size of a sofa,
03:05is by the fireplace over there.
03:07Do you find it feeling disjointed?
03:08Yes.
03:09Yes.
03:09You could have a sectional in here potentially,
03:11or even just a sofa with a couple more chairs.
03:13Is that a hidden?
03:14Yeah.
03:14Oh, it's one of those hide-a-beds.
03:15Yes, that's right.
03:16Because we have guests and family visiting all the time,
03:20a lot of our furniture pulls out into a bed.
03:22How many people do you have sleeping here?
03:25We've had up to 14 stay here.
03:27Oh, wow.
03:27No, that's including us.
03:29Including us.
03:30But still, that's a big hassle.
03:32But, you know, honestly, it just speaks to your personalities.
03:34You're always willing to give a space for your friends and family,
03:36and there's nothing wrong with that.
03:38We just want to make sure your house is working
03:39for the way you want to use it.
03:40Yeah.
03:40So why would you ever put a fireplace in the corner?
03:44This thing just takes up so much space,
03:47and we haven't even used it once since we've moved in here.
03:51So, you know, it would be nice to remove it.
03:53You could either convert it to electric or just board over
03:56and get rid of the hearse so you don't have the trip hazard.
03:58It literally could be tens of thousands of dollars
04:01to just remove it.
04:02Yeah.
04:02So would you want to spend that,
04:04or would you want to maybe dress it up?
04:05Maybe just dress it up, like what you said, reface,
04:07because this rough thing, it's dated.
04:10I think this is better used, though.
04:11The fireplace is basically the snack storage.
04:13Yes.
04:14Okay.
04:15It's overflowed because we don't have enough storage in our kitchen.
04:18So let's take a look at the kitchen.
04:20It looks like you have a lot of storage in here,
04:22a lot of cabinets,
04:23but I guess at the end of the day,
04:24for a family of four adults,
04:25Right.
04:25Yeah.
04:26This isn't a very big kitchen.
04:27Anything that doesn't fit here,
04:28it has to go to the garage.
04:30Yeah.
04:30Okay, that's no good.
04:31We need to have better function for your kitchen.
04:33The sink faces a wall,
04:34and so when she's doing the dishes,
04:37I feel isolated.
04:38She's just staring into a wall.
04:39I am with you, sister.
04:41I hate that.
04:42You have family and friends over?
04:43That would be annoying.
04:44Right.
04:44There's so much we could do to open things up
04:46and have a really connected flow.
04:48I am done with this setup.
04:49I'm isolated here,
04:50and it's not connected to the living room
04:53and the dining area.
04:54This is probably what happened
04:55when you first bought it.
04:56It doesn't look bad at all.
04:57And then all of a sudden,
04:58it's like torture by a thousand cuts.
05:00All these tiny little things
05:01keep adding up and adding up,
05:03and it could really make you hate a space.
05:05I agree.
05:06Um, I think every day
05:08we try to just internalize these things.
05:10Do you want to know what happens
05:11when you internalize and bottle up
05:1319 years of frustrations?
05:15Yeah!
05:18Now, I see you have a formal dining room.
05:20Do you need a secondary eating area?
05:21No.
05:22No.
05:23I really don't.
05:23We can find a better use of this space.
05:25Right.
05:25What would you prefer to use this space for?
05:28Probably an office area.
05:30That way,
05:32because right now,
05:33I'm working from the dining table.
05:34Okay.
05:35You can do anything,
05:36but is it a smart decision financially?
05:38We'd love for this kitchen to have more style.
05:42We're thinking maybe a hint of something Spanish.
05:44Okay.
05:45It is a tricky layout.
05:47How do we open it up
05:48without losing our cabinet space in the walls?
05:50I think that having a bit better connection
05:52to the dining room...
05:53Oh, wow, you weren't joking
05:54when you said you have your office set up in here.
05:56The only place I have to work.
05:58Do you actually eat at the dining table?
06:00Yes, when we have guests.
06:02Yes.
06:02Because there's more chairs here than the other side.
06:05This is not a flattering piece to have
06:07in an area you're trying to entertain guests.
06:09No, it's not.
06:09We would sit here,
06:10and we would be like,
06:11can you please pass the rice?
06:12And he's...
06:13And he's like,
06:14email it to me!
06:15Yeah.
06:16I mean,
06:16I would love to find better function for you
06:18in a space so you don't have this here.
06:20No,
06:20we want to keep this, like,
06:21kitchen, dining,
06:22as is without any workspace.
06:25And then me working in another area outside here.
06:28Okay.
06:28This is where I work.
06:30So how does that work?
06:31You have...
06:32If you're on a conference
06:33and you're on a conference,
06:34how does that work
06:34with not interrupting each other?
06:36It doesn't work.
06:37I'll have to remind them
06:38that I have a meeting going on,
06:39and then I'll have to end up
06:41dragging this here
06:43and setting this up
06:44to remind them.
06:45You realize that won't stop the sound,
06:47though, right?
06:47No.
06:47This is what you call
06:48office hideaway.
06:50Now this is an effective sound panel
06:53right here.
06:54This is...
06:54Do you want to keep this piece of furniture?
06:56Yeah, what I like about it
06:58is it's enough space for me,
07:00and if there's a guest,
07:01I just close it.
07:02It has the door.
07:03Okay, that makes sense.
07:04If we could find a more tasteful way
07:07to, like, make it look purposeful.
07:08Right now,
07:09it just feels like
07:09it's sitting in the middle of the room.
07:11Right.
07:11Yeah.
07:11You're making the best
07:12of the space that you can,
07:13and I like that you have
07:14a fair bit of space to work with.
07:16Yeah.
07:16My workspace is only a few steps
07:19from living areas,
07:20and I feel like
07:21if there's clear,
07:23defined spaces for
07:24this is where you work,
07:26this is relaxing now,
07:27it'll be better
07:28for our mental health.
07:29To have you
07:30in actual separated rooms,
07:32separated spaces
07:33would be important,
07:34and it actually makes sense to me
07:36that we don't want
07:37to open everything up completely.
07:39That's right.
07:39But if we do away
07:40with the wall
07:40between the kitchen
07:41and dining room,
07:42that would create space
07:43for a massive island,
07:44and we could pull back
07:45your fireplace hearth
07:46to create enough room
07:47to relocate your dining table.
07:48With all the extra seating,
07:49you won't need
07:50the breakfast nook,
07:51which means we can convert it
07:52to a private office for Hermie.
07:54We'll create
07:55a more secluded family room,
07:56and converting
07:57the former media nook
07:58into a dedicated office
07:59for Angie
08:00will give you
08:00so much more function
08:01and privacy.
08:02I'm looking forward to that.
08:04We don't like this style here.
08:06Obviously,
08:06we're not interior decorators.
08:09We want the house
08:09to have more personality
08:10and color.
08:11Yeah.
08:12We want to fall back
08:13in love with this home again.
08:15I mean, just like
08:16when we fell in love with it
08:17when we first moved in.
08:19Well, hopefully,
08:20if we can work through this
08:21and if you can bear
08:22a little bit more stress
08:23in this process,
08:24that's the goal
08:25is we want to get you back
08:26to that kind of a feeling.
08:28And it's our 20-year anniversary.
08:29Oh, this year's
08:30your 20-year anniversary?
08:31Yes.
08:31Oh, that's exciting.
08:32Yeah.
08:32Well, what better gift
08:33to yourselves
08:34than to have the house
08:35transformed?
08:38The new reality
08:39of working from home
08:40really tests relationships.
08:41Hermie and Angie
08:42love each other
08:42and they want to safeguard
08:43their relationship
08:44by making sure
08:45that their home allows them
08:46to keep their work lives
08:47and their personal lives separate.
08:48With Hermie and Angie's
08:49$220,000 budget,
08:51we have to completely overhaul
08:52their kitchen
08:53and main living spaces.
08:55While that happens,
08:56they'll be renting a place
08:57for at least eight weeks.
08:58Hopefully,
08:58we can make their home offices
08:59feel more private
09:00so they can go from
09:01barely coping with this place
09:03to feeling like
09:04it's a second honeymoon.
09:07It doesn't want to go.
09:09Woo!
09:11Does this freak you out
09:12at all when you're seeing
09:13everything torn?
09:14No, we've been looking
09:16forward to the demo part.
09:17We've been seeing
09:17other people do it.
09:19We're tired of this pony wall.
09:20It's so two decades ago.
09:21Oh, yeah.
09:22Oh, yeah.
09:22At least.
09:29All right.
09:31Boom!
09:33Yes!
09:35I'm just so happy
09:36to see it down.
09:37We're so tired of that.
09:38We're done.
09:39It's the beginning
09:39of the end.
09:40Yeah.
09:41Or the beginning
09:42of the beginning.
09:42Right, right.
09:43This is a whole new chapter.
09:45With the pony wall down,
09:46I can already see
09:47in Angie and Hermie's face.
09:48They are thrilled.
09:49They wanted this to happen.
09:50It's very exciting.
09:51In fact,
09:52now I can see them
09:53putting their eyes on
09:54what's next,
09:54what's next?
09:55The fireplace.
09:56Let's walk through
09:57a space we could never
09:58walk before
09:58and get to the fireplace.
09:59I could take
10:01this whole layer
10:02of brick off
10:03so it's even shallower
10:04and just drywall
10:06an angled wall.
10:07No one would ever know
10:08there's a fireplace there.
10:09And for furniture placement,
10:10that would solve
10:11so many problems.
10:12You're not going to have
10:12a chair that's getting
10:13stuck in this end.
10:14We could shift
10:15everything over
10:16a little bit more,
10:16give the seating area
10:17more space.
10:18Your giant dining table
10:19would have a clear sight line
10:20of the new island.
10:21That's the cheapest option
10:23and gives you
10:23the most space.
10:24When we have
10:25other people visiting us,
10:27that would be
10:27really great
10:28to have more space.
10:29Yeah, let's not wait
10:30to make that happen.
10:31Let's start right now.
10:32Do it.
10:36Should we keep doing it?
10:37Ta-da!
10:43This doesn't want to go.
10:46I was under the impression
10:47there was going to be
10:47solid brick under there
10:48but it's not.
10:53Wow.
10:53Oh my gosh.
10:54You are not going
10:54to believe this.
11:00It's a modern vent.
11:02It's just the metal vent
11:03for the fireplace
11:04so there's no brick
11:05or structure
11:06or anything back here
11:06at all.
11:07We were positive
11:09that this was a brick chimney.
11:10It was brick inside,
11:11solid all the way around.
11:13I don't know why
11:13it needed to be
11:14so overbuilt
11:16but I think we can
11:17pull that out
11:18at minimal cost.
11:20And have a proper
11:20squared off corner.
11:21There might even be
11:22extra space for storage.
11:23This is a big win.
11:25Yeah, we like this
11:26kind of surprise.
11:27Yeah, me too.
11:28This helps with
11:29our furniture placement
11:29in the dining room
11:30so much.
11:31So we need to talk
11:33about office space.
11:36You wanted to have
11:37a separate office
11:39from your loving partner.
11:41Yes.
11:42Right.
11:42Because he's so damn loud.
11:46You had obviously
11:47the big desk
11:48and everything over here
11:49before.
11:49Right, it was there.
11:50I thought that was
11:51a pretty clever solution
11:52because then when
11:52you're entertaining here
11:53you can close everything away.
11:54Yeah, I love that.
11:55Yeah, I like that.
11:57I'd rather it look like
11:58something that is built in
12:00because it looks like
12:01it's purposeful.
12:02If we were to take
12:03the wall that's on the
12:04back of your media unit,
12:05this wall,
12:07and move it
12:07to the other surface,
12:09that means you'll have
12:10a niche here
12:11that's the perfect depth
12:12for you to put that.
12:13You'd have a fully
12:14customized desk area
12:15with built-ins all around
12:17to really make you feel
12:18like you have
12:18a proper office space.
12:19I think that's brilliant.
12:20And also,
12:21it'll prevent all this
12:23sticking out into the room here.
12:24It actually makes for
12:25better furniture placement
12:26on this side.
12:27Yeah.
12:27But we still would have
12:28to accommodate the closet
12:29you have here,
12:30which is...
12:31Around.
12:32Yeah, you've got like
12:32six feet plus this.
12:35Still whatever creepy hole
12:36that is in the ground.
12:37What is that?
12:38That's a safe, actually.
12:40What?
12:41It's a built-in safe.
12:42You don't know how to open it
12:43when it was there
12:44when we moved in?
12:45Who knows?
12:46You've been here 20 years
12:48wondering what treasures
12:49are in this safe
12:50and you've never opened it?
12:52Curiosity has not
12:54tickled your fancy?
12:56Well, definitely curious,
12:57but not curious enough
12:59to go in your purse.
13:00Clearly not curious enough!
13:02This is like...
13:03We don't know how to open it.
13:04Oh, well.
13:05I just want to know.
13:06Is it empty?
13:07Is there something in it?
13:07Yeah, let's...
13:08It's like an adventure.
13:09Don't worry.
13:09I'm not going to keep anything.
13:10We were waiting for you.
13:11Oh, my gosh.
13:12Okay.
13:13Oh!
13:15We didn't even take the cover off.
13:17What?
13:18What if there's
13:20$100,000 in there?
13:21We would return it.
13:22If I had lost something
13:24or left something in the safe,
13:25I would want them
13:26to return it back to us.
13:28So it's only fair
13:29to do the same.
13:30So it is locked.
13:32Oh!
13:32But I'll open it for you.
13:34But this is crazy.
13:36I cannot fathom
13:39living in this house
13:40for 20 years
13:41and you've never opened it?
13:43This is like an adventure.
13:44This is the kind of stuff
13:45that I live for.
13:46Okay, so let's open it.
13:48Yeah.
13:48Let's see.
13:49Exactly.
13:55Angie and Hermie
13:56were here for demo
13:57and it was great.
13:59We didn't come across
13:59anything catastrophic.
14:01In fact,
14:01the fireplace was an easier job
14:03than we anticipated.
14:04And then, like,
14:0510 days later,
14:06we have some unfortunate news.
14:08I did warn Hermie and Angie
14:09that we may have
14:10some additional plumbing
14:11and electrical expenses.
14:12So I want them to see in person
14:14the extent of what we found.
14:16Okay, it's a bit of a mess.
14:20Wow.
14:21Look at this.
14:23Come on over here.
14:24Oh, yes.
14:25Holes everywhere.
14:27Well.
14:27What?
14:29We have Mount Rushmore
14:30in your living room.
14:31This, uh,
14:32it actually was
14:34not planned.
14:36We've come across some issues.
14:37For a lot of the upgrades
14:38that we wanted to do,
14:39the current electrical panel,
14:40they have all the
14:41slim breakers in there.
14:42The inspector's requiring us
14:44to switch everything over
14:44to arc fault,
14:45which is a safer,
14:47newer type of breaker.
14:48Okay.
14:49That will not fit
14:49into the skinny slots.
14:50So we have to do a subpanel.
14:52In order to do that subpanel,
14:54they're making us
14:55bring it all the way in here.
14:56So you'll actually see,
14:57if you peek around the side here,
14:59see all the electrical
15:00terminating right there?
15:01Oh, yeah, yeah.
15:01That's new.
15:01Oh, wow.
15:02So,
15:03with all that being done,
15:05doing a new subpanel,
15:07pulling everything
15:07from the main panel to here,
15:09$3,500 over what was already
15:11budgeted for electrical.
15:13We'll have to modify
15:14your office built-ins
15:15so you can still access
15:17the subpanel we had to install.
15:19They wouldn't let us proceed
15:20otherwise.
15:21The final say is the inspector,
15:24and so we have to make sure
15:25we comply,
15:27which is the same problem
15:28with our plumbing.
15:31Plumbing.
15:31We want to give you a sink,
15:33so instead of just staring
15:34at the wall,
15:35you'll have a beautiful view
15:36of your wide-open kitchen.
15:37We knew we'd have to run
15:38some additional lines,
15:39but just not this far.
15:41So, in order to have
15:42our new sink
15:44in the new location
15:45over here in this island,
15:47we had to break open
15:48the slab.
15:49In order to get
15:50to the actual sewer,
15:52we had to dig down
15:54an additional two feet
15:55because we had to be
15:55way lower
15:56to tie into that pipe.
15:57It really is quadrupling
15:59the amount of work.
16:00Okay.
16:01There was no way
16:02around that.
16:03Okay.
16:04And that was also,
16:05over our original
16:06bid from the plumber,
16:09$2,600.
16:10Between the electrical
16:11and plumbing,
16:12we're looking at
16:12over $6,000
16:14of extra costs.
16:16Out.
16:18Yikes.
16:19Yeah.
16:20So,
16:23you know,
16:24I mean,
16:24it sounds like
16:24these things are necessary,
16:26but, you know,
16:27obviously you wanted,
16:28you don't want to have
16:29like an extra $6,000
16:31added.
16:32Right.
16:33You know,
16:34we're not happy about it,
16:35but hopefully
16:38there's nothing else.
16:39I hope so too.
16:40I just want to give you
16:41your dream kitchen
16:43with plenty of countertops,
16:45state-of-the-art appliances,
16:46tons of cabinet storage,
16:47fully connected
16:48to your new dining area.
16:49So it's a real heart
16:51of the home
16:51for your new family gatherings.
16:52Now,
16:53the way my brain works
16:54and what I'm thinking of is,
16:55okay,
16:56nothing we can do here,
16:57it has to be done.
16:58Where else can we save
16:59money?
17:00You said
17:01the biggest problem
17:02you had
17:02is that there was
17:03no privacy.
17:04You want to have an office
17:05with privacy,
17:05with separation?
17:06We would put that office
17:07here in your former
17:08breakfast nook.
17:09My thought was
17:10that we would have
17:11these beautiful
17:12custom metal doors made,
17:13have all glass,
17:15lots of light
17:15flowing through,
17:16but you have the privacy
17:17when you need it.
17:19That ironwork
17:20and glasswork alone
17:21is about $10,000.
17:24We could eliminate that
17:27if you didn't
17:28want to do that.
17:29But again,
17:30it's up to you.
17:31I mean,
17:31I don't...
17:32Otherwise,
17:33I don't know
17:34where the $6,000
17:34is coming from.
17:36The other option
17:36is we could lose
17:37Angie's custom built-in
17:38office area
17:39and repurpose
17:40her old armoire
17:41and that would save us
17:42like $4,500.
17:43If that's doable
17:44or if that's impossible
17:47that you guys tell me,
17:51I don't know
17:52where the $6,000
17:53is coming from.
17:54I know the noise
17:55can get to you
17:56when you're on
17:57a video call.
17:58Right.
18:01I just need to get
18:02some noise-canceling
18:04headphones or something
18:04like that.
18:07This was the thing
18:08that was going to solve
18:08the problems
18:09you were having.
18:09That's why I feel like...
18:10It was.
18:11Yeah, sure,
18:11you could install doors
18:12in the future
18:13and it's not going
18:14to cost more then
18:15than it will now
18:16but then how...
18:17Like, you guys were here
18:18without renovating
18:19for how long again?
18:21Almost 20 years.
18:22Almost 20 years.
18:23So will you ever
18:24put those doors in
18:24if we don't do it right now?
18:26I want you guys
18:26to walk in here,
18:27take your keys
18:28and already be like...
18:29Right.
18:30Done.
18:31This is perfect.
18:31We don't have to do
18:32anything else.
18:33Is there somewhere else
18:34where we can save money?
18:36I mean, at this point,
18:37I can't...
18:38I can't think
18:39of what that would be.
18:40This is the only
18:41big ticket item right now
18:42that I can think of.
18:43That would make up
18:44for everything.
18:46How about the safe?
18:47Did you find anything
18:48in the safe?
18:49I'm working on the safe.
18:50I have a locksmith.
18:52He's licensed
18:52so he can get a code
18:53and if that code doesn't work,
18:55he then can drill it out.
18:56So I will let you know
18:57the second it's there...
18:58Everything was going great
18:59with the demo
19:00until, boom,
19:02we come here today
19:02and then...
19:04Oop.
19:05I know how to ruin a party.
19:08It's...
19:08It surprised me as well.
19:10It wasn't...
19:10This isn't something
19:11I would have guessed
19:12that would have been
19:13tacked on.
19:14Reusing your armoire
19:15will help offset
19:16the $6,000 overage
19:17but we're still short
19:18$1,600 bucks
19:19so I will definitely
19:20try my best
19:21to make that up
19:21somewhere else.
19:22I think you should
19:23have to door.
19:24Because I might as well
19:26get it done
19:26like what you said.
19:28Right.
19:29I think we should do it too.
19:31We're at this point now
19:32where we can do it.
19:33Might as well do it.
19:34I do think this is going
19:35to be a game changer
19:37for how you operate
19:38at home.
19:39Otherwise,
19:40I'm really with you.
19:42I'm banking on the fact
19:43that we're not going
19:43to come across
19:44anything else
19:45that's going to be
19:45a disaster to the budget.
19:47Once your armoire
19:48is refurbished,
19:49it should look amazing
19:50and feel like
19:51it has a proper home.
19:52Right.
19:53I'll walk you out
19:54in case you faint.
19:56These two obviously
19:58love each other
19:58and it's so touching
19:59to see Angie sacrifice
20:01her custom office
20:02to offset the overages.
20:04Hermie's office
20:04is right next
20:05to the noisy kitchen
20:06so having those glass doors
20:08will have a big impact.
20:10The plumbing and electrical
20:11for the new island
20:12is done
20:12and now that the craters
20:13and trenches are refilled,
20:15we can pour a new slab
20:16to cover it all up.
20:17I am trying to find
20:19$1,600 of savings
20:20somewhere.
20:22Secretly,
20:22I'm hoping my locksmith
20:23finds a lot more
20:25in that hidden safe.
20:26Since the combination codes
20:27didn't work,
20:28we're trying to get in
20:29carefully so we don't
20:30destroy any of the contents.
20:32In the end,
20:33Drew's not-so-professional
20:34spy skills were...
20:35This is impossible.
20:37...unsuccessful.
20:38So while we explore
20:39other safe-cracking options,
20:40it's back to the reno.
20:42When we pulled out
20:43the fireplace,
20:44we realized this whole area
20:45is completely empty.
20:47There's a massive amount
20:48of space,
20:48almost four feet,
20:50that we can get storage,
20:51we can get shelves,
20:52we can get something in here
20:53to make better use
20:54of this corner.
20:54This is all bonus anyway.
20:57A little extra work
20:58to get these guys
20:59a little extra storage.
21:00I have no problem with that.
21:02Yeah, whatever makes them happy,
21:03you know what I mean?
21:04Exactly.
21:05Let's cut this one out, too.
21:06All right.
21:07I want to do something
21:09like spacious, floating,
21:11wooden display shelves.
21:12Minimal, but very functional.
21:15So seeing as we are
21:16no longer using this
21:19as a chimney,
21:20we have to seal it
21:21so that no one
21:22accidentally uses it.
21:40Look at this beauty.
21:41Let's make it even better.
21:42I like that you want
21:43to keep this
21:44because it helps us
21:45stretch the budget.
21:45We can put other money
21:46elsewhere.
21:47And on top of that,
21:48you've had it for so long,
21:49it means a lot to you,
21:50so why not actually
21:51get some fresh life out of it?
21:53We were making
21:53a dedicated nook
21:54for a custom built-in
21:55office for Angie,
21:56but to save money,
21:57we're actually recycling
21:58her old armoire instead.
22:00It's actually
22:00a great little office.
22:01It just needs
22:02a better location
22:03than looking like
22:03it's sticking out
22:04like a sore thumb
22:05in the living room.
22:05It does fit in the nook
22:07perfectly,
22:07but I am worried
22:08that Angie feels
22:08she's not getting
22:09a fair trade,
22:10so I'm hoping
22:10a little makeover
22:11will help with that.
22:12I brought a few colors,
22:13and what I was thinking
22:14is something darker
22:15for the outside,
22:16and then I was thinking
22:17on the inside,
22:18we could go a little bit lighter
22:20because a lighter color
22:21on the inside
22:22will actually help
22:23with your video calls
22:24because it'll reflect
22:24the light,
22:25and so it can help
22:26fill the way you're wanting
22:27without having to have
22:28a big light in your face.
22:29That makes sense.
22:31This one would probably
22:32be good.
22:33For the outside.
22:34All right.
22:35Tell me if this is too moody.
22:37I think there's,
22:38I want a little bit lighter
22:39and more color.
22:40I think I like this one.
22:42The blue?
22:43Yeah.
22:44On the inside,
22:45on the outside.
22:47I like those two.
22:48I think once we're done,
22:49this is going to be
22:50a completely different
22:51space for you.
22:52It'll be far more functional,
22:53and when you're not
22:54using it for work,
22:55it's just going to feel
22:55more stylish.
22:58Game on.
22:59You know what it's about
23:00Waking up on linens
23:02with a high thread count
23:03About to turn it up
23:05with the whole quote
23:17Even after 20 years,
23:19Hermie and Angie
23:19are still just the cutest
23:20couple.
23:21After years of using
23:22his dining room
23:23as his desk,
23:23Angie wants to make sure
23:24that Hermie gets everything
23:25for his new office possible
23:27by giving up
23:28some customization for hers.
23:29And of course,
23:30the romantic side of Hermie
23:31wants to talk about
23:32a special request for Angie.
23:34Yeah, I have some photos here
23:35that we can use
23:36to personalize
23:38Angie's space.
23:39Oh, this is great.
23:40Yeah, really cute.
23:42I brought some photos
23:43because our 20th wedding
23:44anniversary is coming up,
23:46and I wanted these photos
23:48to reflect memories
23:49that we've had over the years
23:51because work can be
23:52pretty stressful.
23:53Hopefully, that will help
23:54take some stress off
23:56and have her think
23:57about the good times.
23:58I think that that's
24:00a nice thing because
24:00you're not going to be
24:02right next to each other
24:03anymore.
24:03You have a little separation,
24:04so it's nice to have
24:05some sweet pictures
24:07to look at.
24:08There's still a ton of work
24:09that has to happen,
24:10but it's coming along.
24:11But I can show you inside.
24:11Do you want to have
24:12a peek inside?
24:12Let's go.
24:14Exciting to see
24:15what things have changed.
24:17Yeah, it's a little dusty,
24:18a little dirty.
24:20Okay.
24:21Alrighty.
24:22So it's just
24:23at the drywall stage.
24:25Gives you a bit of an idea.
24:27Island, everything here.
24:28So this would be your spot.
24:31Glass in the front here.
24:33Looks great.
24:34Nice and big.
24:35When you look at this space,
24:36how do you see your furniture?
24:38What do you need?
24:38Actually, all I had before
24:40was the dining table.
24:41So that was my setup.
24:43So I don't have a desk right now.
24:45I don't have anything.
24:46Starting with the bar real low.
24:48I have a butt cushion.
24:50That's what I use
24:51for the chair somewhere.
24:52The only thing I would say,
24:53though, is you can't do
24:54a bookshelf necessarily
24:55because you don't really
24:56have wall space
24:57unless you had a corner unit.
24:58And that's pretty tiny.
25:00So if this is just meant
25:01for your desk, though,
25:02and you want to have
25:02lots of natural light,
25:03then this is fine.
25:05This is great.
25:06What do you want to have
25:06for the aesthetic?
25:08Like, what kind of a desk?
25:09Do you like a glass desk,
25:10a wooden desk?
25:11Do you want any decor pieces?
25:14Just simple wood or glass.
25:18I'm really open.
25:20Anything is better
25:21than the dining table
25:22at this point.
25:23Yeah, I agree.
25:24It's going to be perfect.
25:25Why don't we kick you out of here
25:26because we don't want
25:27to give away the farm.
25:28We want to make sure
25:28you have some surprise
25:29when you come back.
25:29All right.
25:32The Renault is still
25:33in full swing,
25:34but I have not forgotten
25:35about the hidden safe.
25:36After a second
25:37unsuccessful opening attempt,
25:39my locksmith brought in
25:40one of his own safes
25:41to show me why.
25:42The hard place
25:43is this inside.
25:44It's hard to really.
25:45There's no way
25:46we can get in,
25:47and since we can't
25:48use explosives,
25:49we're going to jackhammer
25:50it out of the concrete.
25:51Yeah!
25:52Finally,
25:53seeing the safe come out
25:54is so satisfying,
25:56but why is there
25:57water spraying everywhere?
25:59Because we pierced
26:00the water main.
26:01Who would put the water main
26:03right next to the safe?
26:05This is not good.
26:08After many failed attempts
26:10to open this hidden safe,
26:11jackhammering it out
26:12was our only option.
26:13We were hoping to find
26:13treasures to help out
26:14Hermie and Angie's budget,
26:16but instead,
26:16we hit a water line.
26:17Well, fortunately,
26:18our plumber was quick
26:19to repair the pipe.
26:20Our safe cracking
26:21is on hold again
26:22while we turn our attention
26:23to those front entry stairs
26:24to add a little tile.
26:26Hey, do you want me?
26:27Crew?
26:29Do you want me
26:30to lay these out
26:31so we can kind of
26:32get an idea of the pattern
26:33and the aesthetic,
26:34or if you want to.
26:35I've already cut
26:36a couple of the strips
26:37if you want to take
26:37those in there, too.
26:38The main thing is,
26:39I think when you're back here,
26:40all the risers
26:41look like one piece,
26:42so it should make sense
26:43as an artistic,
26:45beautiful piece altogether.
26:46They don't want
26:46anything cookie cutter.
26:47No.
26:48So as long as you
26:48measure right,
26:49it'll fit.
26:50Oh, yeah.
26:50My fault.
26:51My fault.
26:59Okay.
27:00So obviously
27:02there's a pattern
27:03that we want
27:03to repeat here.
27:06So is every step
27:08a different color
27:09and pattern,
27:10or are you wanting
27:11to carry, you know,
27:12similar tiles
27:13to each step?
27:14Alternate.
27:14Yeah.
27:15I want to do
27:16a little Spanish style,
27:17but I'm worried
27:18the variety of patterns
27:19might be too much.
27:19It's worth the risk.
27:20We've got to bring
27:20some excitement
27:21back into this house
27:22after all these years,
27:23so let's do it.
27:31There were four
27:32different types of flooring
27:33in Hermie and Angie's home.
27:34We're spicing up
27:35the stair treads
27:36and the powder room
27:37with some Spanish-influenced tile,
27:39but unifying the rest
27:40of the main level
27:41with durable luxury finals.
27:42It's a great solution
27:43because this home
27:44is a live-work space,
27:46so it sees a lot of traffic
27:47from visiting friends
27:48and family.
27:50You're still going
27:51with the spacers?
27:52They're, like, stuck.
27:54They're not coming up
27:54very easily.
27:55Actually, there's been
27:56so much going on
27:57in all the other areas,
27:58I haven't even thought
27:59about this bathroom
28:00for a minute,
28:00and we haven't picked
28:02any of our finishing colors,
28:03like our grout colors
28:04and stuff like that.
28:05You'll notice the color
28:06of the tiles on the stairs,
28:07it's a little cleaner
28:08on all those ones.
28:09These ones have this
28:10kind of terracotta aesthetic
28:12in between,
28:12a little more aged-looking.
28:14I think the star
28:14needs to be what catches
28:16your eye when you come out,
28:17not the grid
28:17of the tiles itself.
28:19So it'll be a different
28:20grout for over there?
28:21I think so.
28:22I think we should go
28:22darker with the grout
28:23because then it's going
28:24to blend in better.
28:25I can agree with that.
28:27This is the only main floor
28:28bathroom for guests,
28:28so it's got to look good
28:30and tie into the rest
28:31of the design
28:32like the kitchen backsplash.
28:33Yeah, there were so many
28:34types of floors in here
28:35that were bland before.
28:36I just hope they like
28:37something a little more bold.
28:38Well, here's hoping.
28:39Are you able to
28:40get this started today
28:41or do you need another
28:42four days to get
28:43all those spacers out?
28:44I might need
28:45four more days.
28:46Baby, I'ma have some fun
28:48doing it because I won
28:50just in my bed
28:52like three, two, one,
28:53I'm ready
29:00Three, two, one,
29:02I'm ready
29:11Tell me you had success.
29:13We are obsessed
29:14with opening this hidden safe
29:15that we found
29:16in Hermie and Angie's closet
29:17and we've tried everything,
29:18drilling, combination,
29:20jackhammering it
29:21out of the concrete.
29:22The top is indestructible,
29:23but we are hoping
29:24that the bottom
29:25is not as strong.
29:26How is this still
29:27not open yet?
29:28I'm about to bring
29:29my acetylene torch
29:30and like melt through it.
29:32I'm going through
29:32multiple discs here.
29:34Yeah, and water lines.
29:35Who puts the safe
29:36right next to the main
29:37water line?
29:37This thing has been
29:38such a pain in the butt.
29:40How many locksmiths?
29:41Two locksmiths you've had come.
29:42Nope, couldn't do it.
29:44This is one of those things,
29:44it's the journey,
29:45not the destination.
29:47This isn't just you
29:48and me now.
29:48Everybody on our crew
29:49is obsessed with this.
29:53It cracked.
29:54Did you hear that?
29:55Yeah.
29:56That's still a lot of metal
29:57to try and...
29:59You're going to pop.
30:00No, flip it on its...
30:01Flip it.
30:03We're there.
30:04I can see inside.
30:07I'm going to back off.
30:08Let me cut through
30:09the last few seconds of it.
30:11Trying to make this
30:11even harder.
30:24Wait!
30:25At least they didn't
30:26break the blade.
30:27Hold on.
30:27Wait, okay, here we go.
30:29Hold on.
30:29The moment of truth!
30:32This is it.
30:34Yes!
30:37The moment of truth!
30:39This is it.
30:42Yes!
30:45No!
30:48Nothing!
30:50Dust.
30:50Not even a letter
30:52or...
30:53Oh my gosh,
30:54this is such...
30:54That's disappointing.
30:55What a waste of time.
30:57Was it a waste of time, though?
30:58It's the satisfaction
31:00of knowing.
31:02Priceless.
31:03Yeah.
31:03Yeah, sure.
31:04We'll keep telling ourselves
31:05that.
31:05Back to work.
31:06All we wanted
31:08was a little bit of treasure.
31:09Some treasure!
31:10Nothing.
31:11Just a little bit.
31:11I don't know
31:12that we can tell this story
31:13to Hermie
31:14after everything
31:15we've been talking about.
31:15We'll have to make up
31:16something really cool.
31:17I pull up on them
31:19with a top back.
31:20We going up now.
31:21You can't stop that.
31:35Look at that.
31:37This unit is actually
31:38pretty clever.
31:39Having all the storage,
31:40having all the functionality,
31:41but having the ability
31:41to close it away.
31:42The only thing
31:43that wasn't great about this
31:45was that Angie
31:46had to give up
31:46her custom office
31:47to offset the overages
31:49so Hermie can have
31:50his glass doors.
31:51That saved us
31:52about $4,500,
31:53but we're still
31:53going to be slightly
31:54over budget by $1,600.
31:56I just hope she's happy
31:57with her new updated armoire.
31:58Oh, yeah.
31:59So we got to go back
32:00over.
32:04Okay.
32:05Good.
32:05We are making progress
32:06in the kitchen
32:07that Angie hated.
32:08It was beige,
32:09dark, and hard to cook in.
32:10She couldn't even see
32:11her family
32:12because of blocked eye lines.
32:13With the new island
32:14and spacious countertop,
32:15we're aiming to add
32:16more function,
32:17better views,
32:18and more style.
32:19They wanted some color,
32:20so we're taking a little risk
32:21with a bold backsplash.
32:22I hope it's just
32:23the right amount
32:24of personality.
32:25But what we're really
32:26nervous about
32:27is actually the glass doors
32:28for Hermie's office.
32:29It's a huge ticket item
32:30that almost got axed
32:31because of plumbing
32:32and electrical overages,
32:33but we want Hermie and Angie
32:34to love this
32:34and think it was worth it
32:35for that extra light
32:36coming through
32:37and also the privacy.
32:39Feature wall vibes.
32:41The extended wall
32:42in the kitchen
32:42makes this family room
32:43more private,
32:44so I want to make it
32:45feel comfortable as well.
32:46What do you think?
32:47What do you think?
32:47I love it.
32:48I mean,
32:48just a simple,
32:50inexpensive solution
32:51to give them
32:52a little bit of texture
32:53and some style.
32:54I mean,
32:54this is going to be cool.
32:56Yeah,
32:56and that'll tie in nicely
32:57with that wicker feel.
32:59These guys really want
33:00that really nice,
33:02inviting,
33:02warm kind of family tones,
33:04especially since
33:05Angie's office
33:06will be in here.
33:07There's been a lot
33:07of focus on Hermie's office,
33:09but Angie's office
33:09is just as important,
33:11especially since
33:11she gave up her built-ins.
33:13We couldn't fully close off
33:14her office space,
33:14so it's even more important
33:15to make sure
33:16the surrounding living area
33:17is nice and private
33:18and comfortable.
33:35want to give it a test fold?
33:37Yep.
33:39I love it.
33:40The number of family members,
33:41they said that they have
33:42come and stay with them.
33:43This is a dream.
33:44I feel like this is a room
33:45that was just kind of lost before.
33:47It just didn't have
33:48proper purpose
33:48and there wasn't
33:49a proper divide.
33:50Building this wall out,
33:51closing this room off even more
33:52is actually a very smart idea.
33:54To mark their big
33:5520th anniversary,
33:56Hermie and Angie decided
33:57to completely renovate
33:58their house
33:59so that it reflects
33:59what they need now
34:00and in the future.
34:01In addition to redesigning
34:03their whole main floor,
34:04we also had to carve out
34:05two private office spaces
34:07just to help with
34:08their work-life balance,
34:09something critical
34:10to their daily happiness.
34:11Well, to be honest,
34:12this puts a lot of pressure
34:12on us, so I'm a little nervous
34:14as to what they'll think.
34:15Hey, you ready?
34:18You excited?
34:19Yes, I'm excited.
34:20Hey, they're there.
34:21Let's get them.
34:22Last night, I was so nervous.
34:25I started having, like,
34:26these bad thoughts.
34:27I'm thinking,
34:28did they listen
34:29to what we need?
34:31I am a little concerned
34:33that we're going to go in
34:34and we're going to find
34:36that our problem
34:37hasn't really been solved.
34:41I am a little concerned
34:43that we're going to go in
34:44and we're going to find
34:46that our problem
34:47hasn't really been solved.
34:49Breathe a sigh of relief.
34:50The house is literally ready
34:52to move back in.
34:53Great.
34:54We don't have to stay
34:54in our rental
34:56for any longer.
34:57Shall we get inside?
34:59Yes, please.
35:00All right.
35:00Oh, my gosh.
35:02Come on, right downstairs.
35:03Wow.
35:04This is a transformed space
35:05and so much more functional.
35:07Oh, my gosh.
35:07Oh, wow.
35:09It's changed.
35:10It's so much better.
35:12Wow.
35:13It's beautiful.
35:14It's so bright.
35:16Everything that was
35:17sucking up the light
35:18is gone.
35:19We don't have this
35:20big, bulky TV here anymore
35:22and no more red couch.
35:25Fabulous.
35:26Just looks totally green.
35:27It's awesome.
35:29It's us.
35:30It's, you know,
35:30it's what we wanted.
35:32It's making me feel emotional
35:33because it's always good
35:35to have that continuity.
35:36Whenever kids think of home,
35:39they think of this place.
35:40Yeah.
35:40And even though
35:41we love the home,
35:42we've kind of neglected it.
35:44It's just great to see now
35:45we're putting a little more
35:47effort into the home
35:48to make it function
35:49the way we need it to.
35:50Also, when you have guests
35:51who come in,
35:52you have a powder room.
35:54This is nice.
35:55I love the tiles,
35:57the contrast.
35:59I remember the medicine cabinet
36:01was super big.
36:03Oh, yeah.
36:04That was your only storage.
36:05Yes.
36:06I want you to actually
36:07get in and enjoy your space.
36:09Grab a seat.
36:09This is now more of like
36:11an elegant sitting room.
36:13It's inviting now.
36:15Yeah, it's comfy.
36:16Yeah.
36:16It's also a bed.
36:17It pulls out to a bed.
36:18Great.
36:18So when you need it,
36:20you're good to go.
36:20This feels like
36:21a good use for the space.
36:22Right.
36:23And what we don't mention now
36:24is one type of floor
36:26from the entryway
36:27to the stairs.
36:28It's all uniform now.
36:30It's great.
36:31And you also get
36:31a little extra pop of interest
36:33if you're sitting down here
36:34and you look this way.
36:34You get to see the tiles
36:35and the risers are all covered.
36:36I didn't even see it.
36:38Yeah.
36:38I like that.
36:39This is great.
36:40What do you think
36:41of your new dining space?
36:42I love it.
36:43We gained so much
36:44more usable space
36:46now that the fireplace is gone.
36:48Right?
36:48Isn't that crazy?
36:49This is such a headache
36:50for us,
36:51especially with the ledge
36:53sticking out.
36:54And we never used it.
36:55Well, no, no, no.
36:55You used the ledge
36:56to put a basket of snacks.
36:58Yeah.
36:58Now you can actually
36:59just put your basket of snacks
37:00in a cabinet if you like.
37:01Oh, that's so nice.
37:02And I love the color.
37:04That's like grayish, greenish.
37:05Yeah.
37:06It's wild.
37:08Worst orange.
37:09That was a huge find.
37:12That actually,
37:13forget the other safe
37:14that we found.
37:15This was the hidden treasure.
37:17You didn't need it.
37:18You didn't want it.
37:18But now,
37:19this is absolutely
37:21the right layout
37:22for your dining area.
37:23I love it.
37:24It's simple and modern.
37:26It looks great in here.
37:27In fact,
37:28in order to have
37:29an amazing dinner party,
37:30you have to have
37:31an amazing kitchen.
37:34Let's go.
37:36Oh, my gosh.
37:38It's huge.
37:39Do I get it?
37:39No more pony wall.
37:41No pony wall.
37:42It is gone.
37:43This island,
37:44it's so huge.
37:46It's so long.
37:47And I love the color.
37:49It's relaxing.
37:50It's more like all white
37:52kind of, you know,
37:53kitchen.
37:53I'm like, no.
37:54No, I love the,
37:55there's plenty of white,
37:56but yet there's a splash of color,
37:58and it's just the right amount.
38:00The backsplash kind of pulls
38:02everything together as well.
38:03Look at the office.
38:04I love that.
38:06The glass doors just make
38:08such a statement.
38:09This office,
38:10it just beats
38:11where I used to work,
38:12and that was the dining table.
38:14Yeah.
38:15So glad that we made the decision
38:17to put in these glass doors
38:18because it looks great,
38:20and I can't imagine
38:21what it'd be like
38:22without these doors.
38:23And I think because
38:24it has to be glass
38:25because we don't want to block
38:26the lights coming from here.
38:29Absolutely.
38:29You want to see
38:30his beautiful face.
38:31I want to make sure
38:31he's working and he's there.
38:33Mm-hmm.
38:34Not playing solitaire.
38:36Yeah.
38:36Even though it was expensive,
38:38big ticket item,
38:39our budget was already waning.
38:40This was the right decision.
38:42Check out all the detail down here.
38:43You have a pantry.
38:44Wow, look at the storage.
38:47So much storage.
38:48I have a pantry now.
38:49Storage now.
38:51You can slam the drawers.
38:52Those are beautiful,
38:53deep drawers.
38:54Wow.
38:54Let me see this.
38:55This is a slam test.
38:57Awesome.
38:58Right?
38:58This is my favorite spot
39:00of the whole episode.
39:00Yeah.
39:01Yes, absolutely.
39:02Love it.
39:02Love it.
39:04It's night and day.
39:05Yeah, it's like
39:06you can't compare it.
39:07It's like a thousand times better.
39:09I'm facing the outside,
39:11you know,
39:11the sliding doors.
39:13Yeah.
39:13The old kitchen
39:14was so dark
39:15and it actually felt
39:16like a punishment
39:16to be stuck in this place.
39:18Yeah.
39:18And it felt so small
39:20compared to everything else.
39:21This is how this house
39:22should have been laid out.
39:23Yeah, it should be.
39:24Yeah, really.
39:24We should not be putting up with
39:26all it was before.
39:28At least you weren't here
39:29that long.
39:30Oh, no, wait.
39:3120 years.
39:31Yeah, you really lived
39:32like that for a long time.
39:33We didn't put up
39:33with that for a long time.
39:35Now that your dining here
39:36is in your kitchen,
39:37check out your more
39:37private family room.
39:39Oh, my gosh.
39:41Look at this wallpaper.
39:43This is so cool.
39:45This is what you need
39:46for family and friends.
39:48Now, this is a proper TV room.
39:50Yes.
39:51And it also is a little
39:52isolated from the other areas,
39:53like the dining and whatnot.
39:54So I feel like this is
39:55the right cozy spot for it.
39:58I love that this has a bed also
40:02because then our guests
40:04won't have to worry about
40:05where they're going to sleep.
40:06So now we have a bed here.
40:07We have a bed in the other room.
40:09And if we gather in the kitchen,
40:11they're here.
40:12There's this new wall
40:14that it's so perfect
40:16that they have a little bit
40:17of separation and privacy here.
40:19Yeah, absolutely.
40:20Exactly.
40:21Look at your office space.
40:22Is it nice?
40:23I love your office niche,
40:24actually.
40:25That's huge.
40:26Furniture is perfect together.
40:27It's supposed to go there.
40:29Yeah.
40:29I want to check this out.
40:32I love the color.
40:34I love how there's color
40:36on the outside,
40:36but the interior is white,
40:38so it keeps it nice and bright.
40:40I love these pools.
40:41They're leather.
40:42Very stylish.
40:43And Hermie brought us some photos,
40:44so you've got some good
40:45memories close by.
40:46I love that.
40:47Yeah.
40:47You guys needed
40:50that separation for your offices.
40:52When you're in a space,
40:53as long as you guys
40:53have been in a space,
40:54naturally,
40:55it's going to feel tired
40:56after a while anyway.
40:58I like that we've not only
40:59freshened it up,
41:00made it ready for the next
41:02several decades of enjoyment,
41:04but also improved it
41:05so the house works
41:06harder for you.
41:07It's great,
41:08because this year,
41:09we're going to be celebrating
41:10our 20th wedding anniversary,
41:11so it's a nice change
41:15for the next 20 years
41:16and beyond.
41:17We just wanted you guys
41:18to have a space
41:19where it doesn't stress you out,
41:20where you can be working
41:21at the same time,
41:22where then you can spend
41:23the fun moments together,
41:25have friends and family over.
41:27We already thought about
41:28inviting our family
41:29and friends over.
41:30When are they coming?
41:32Now?
41:32Right now.
41:33Oh, now?
41:33Oh, really?
41:34So we got the party started?
41:35Yeah.
41:35Let's go.
41:36Celebrate.
41:38Everything looks amazing.
41:40I can't think of anything
41:41that I don't like.
41:42All the areas
41:43are so much more functional now.
41:45It's good for our mental health,
41:46less stress.
41:48All right.
41:48Come on in.
41:49You guys ready?
41:51Woo!
41:52Come on in.
41:53Come on down.
41:54Do you recognize it?
41:56Oh, my God.
41:58Do I take him on the tour?
42:00Take him through?
42:00Look at that.
42:01No, I can't check.
42:02Wait, so.
42:03Wait, wait, wait.
42:04Having family and friends over,
42:06it'll be so much easier
42:07now that the space
42:09is so much more usable.
42:10It works.
42:11We can cook and clean.
42:13I like it.
42:14Yes, very nice.
42:15Let me just say,
42:16you guys did such a wonderful job.
42:19You've raised two of the most incredible,
42:21not just parents,
42:22but people in general.
42:24You have been a joy to work with.
42:27In the end, it's for the family.
42:29It was so great
42:30being able to share this moment with them,
42:33seeing all their reactions as well.
42:34It'll be a nice home away from home for them.
42:38Really, this was a dream come true for us.
42:41And it was such a blessing
42:42to have you guys work your magic
42:45and transform this place into what it is now.
42:49And for that, we'll be forever grateful to you.
42:52This just makes us look forward to the future.
