FunTranscript
00:00Good morning.
00:02Just another day of making our favorite small town better.
00:05Erin, we got to go, babe.
00:06Go fix some old sad houses.
00:08Ben, let's go.
00:09Growing up, I didn't see what was so special about Laurel.
00:12So every day we make sure our girls see it.
00:14Good morning, Katie.
00:16Can you believe we fixed up over 100 houses in Laurel?
00:18There's so much opportunity.
00:20So many unloved houses.
00:22I don't know what is going to go wrong in here today.
00:25I'm sure something.
00:27Girl, the fat just flew through here.
00:29It's not good.
00:31Oh, what?
00:32We're about to see the house for the first time.
00:34This is the best part.
00:35Oh, my God.
00:37Holy cow.
00:38Are you serious right now?
00:40Ben, did you make this?
00:41Yeah, I made this.
00:43The real truth of living and working in your hometown
00:45is that you're going to see these people everywhere forever.
00:48It's your superpower, Erin.
00:50Color is her superpower.
00:51It is.
00:52It is perfect.
00:53Every day is different when you're renovating houses in Laurel, Mississippi.
01:08Tracy and Dan Watts went to high school with Erin.
01:11Tracy and I did yearbook together.
01:13We played soccer together.
01:15So we've known each other since we were little kids.
01:17We've got two beautiful girls, Beta, that's eight years old, and Evie, that's five years old.
01:22Dan's mom, Martha, lives close to us.
01:24Dan and Tracy's little girls are over at her house all the time.
01:27Our girls like playing with them.
01:29So I've got some really big news.
01:31You remember that house I texted you a picture of a couple of weeks ago?
01:33Yes, we bought it.
01:35Here's the problem.
01:36Our current house has sold already.
01:40Why don't y'all move into the new house?
01:42Because we want to do some renovations.
01:44Are y'all living with Ms. Martha?
01:45Yes.
01:46We are staying at my mother's house right now.
01:49Yeah, we're taking up every inch of her space with two active girls.
01:53Woo!
01:55So the house that we just sold is where I grew up.
01:59I've only not lived in that house for about a year of my life.
02:03So definitely need a change.
02:06We've outgrown every aspect of our house.
02:09I'm ready for us to have a new chapter, something that we can create that's our own.
02:13What all are you wanting to do?
02:15We'd like to modernize the house.
02:17Yeah, we're in a dilemma right now.
02:18School is about to start.
02:19Yes, we need this to happen quickly.
02:22How much do you want to spend on the renovation?
02:24We'd go as high as $150.
02:25Can we get you on board?
02:27We can do that.
02:27I want to go look at it.
02:29Okay, I've got a key.
02:30Evie, we're going to work on y'all's house.
02:32Give me five.
02:41We didn't have neighbors growing up, and I was so jealous of the neighborhood.
02:45Yeah, me too.
02:45They look so cool in movies.
02:47So this is the house you just bought.
02:48Yeah.
02:49We all know this is the Scrimpshire house.
02:52Hattie and Neil Scrimpshire built the house in 1989.
02:54It's five bedrooms, five baths, 3,800 square feet, and you're not going to tell us what you paid for
02:59it, and that's okay.
03:01Yeah, we're keeping that a secret.
03:03This house is awesome.
03:06It's like a time capsule.
03:07It looks like it was just built, and no one's ever lived in it.
03:11Everyone in Johns County knows the Scrimptures.
03:12They are really connected throughout the community.
03:15It was the house where everybody hung out.
03:17It was the comfortable house, the fun house.
03:19Great yard.
03:21It's got so much space.
03:22That's one of the things I love about it, how well it's been taken care of.
03:26It doesn't need much.
03:27Little bitty updates could make it exactly what you're looking for.
03:31Oh, I love that.
03:32Yeah, I'm just focusing on making it even more classic.
03:35But a cream color paint, light, soft French blue on the shutters.
03:40I love that.
03:40New front doors, French doors.
03:43And then I think it'll be so pretty to have copper lanterns on this very big, generous front porch.
03:48It'll brighten that space up.
03:49Yeah.
03:50So out here, $20,000 to cover everything.
03:54That sounds good.
03:55Let's go inside.
03:56We found out that Mr. Neal and Ms. Patty Scrimpture were getting ready to sell their home.
04:00I initially told Mr. Neal, I don't think this will fit in our budget.
04:04He said, well, y'all just come by and talk to me, and we'll see what we can work out.
04:07I think for the Scrimptures, the most important thing was that whoever lived in that house next was a family
04:12who would love it the way they did.
04:15Okay.
04:16Now you can imagine, if this were double doors, how it would feel a little bit different so you don't...
04:22Not walking right into the staircase.
04:23Yeah.
04:23And I would love to hear your thoughts on wallpaper, because we have a lot of it in here.
04:27I'm not opposed to wallpaper, but in here, it's real busy.
04:30I love these floors, though.
04:32Oh, yes.
04:33The brick is amazing.
04:34Yeah.
04:34So talking to Ms. Patty Scrimpture, her brother hand-cut every one of these bricks.
04:40That's cool.
04:41That's amazing.
04:41You really accentuate the brick if we let this be a solid color?
04:45And then a new carpet up the stairs, something fresh, preppy, softening this entry.
04:51It's busy right now.
04:52So in here, updating the walls, carpet, light, five grand.
04:57That's not much.
04:58No, that'll make a big change, though.
05:00And then the den, it's not very Tracy, but it could be here.
05:04Yeah.
05:05It's just really dark.
05:06I know y'all love a really fresh, light, southern style.
05:10You would like things to lighten instead of blue, a soft, creamy color.
05:14Okay.
05:14And if we took fabric off of the doors...
05:18And let some natural sunlight come in.
05:19Yeah, let the sunlight in.
05:21You could remove the chair rail and wainscoting.
05:23They were doing this a lot in the late 80s.
05:25We could bring in LVT that looks like oak.
05:28Yeah, that'd be more durable and realistic with two girls.
05:31How do you feel about honey oak here in the built-ins?
05:33I do like natural wood, but it's making it darker in here.
05:37We can paint it a very traditional cream.
05:39Maybe take off, like, that little border.
05:41The dental molding?
05:42Yeah.
05:43You want to do weight with that?
05:44It's very formal.
05:45Yeah.
05:45I get you.
05:46We could do something with this fireplace.
05:48Get rid of that insert.
05:49All right.
05:50So, for all of this, 30 grand.
05:53But flooring throughout the first floor is what?
05:55Yeah, yeah.
05:56That was a big part of that.
05:57Do we want to go to the saloon?
05:59Yeah.
05:59Let's do it.
06:00The kitchen, lots to discuss here.
06:02These saloon doors.
06:04This is maybe the best thing about the house.
06:07Having a moment?
06:11You're killing me.
06:12Hey, partner.
06:13Howdy, partner.
06:14Howdy.
06:15I love these doors.
06:17For me, biggest asset in the room, this is beautiful.
06:20Yeah.
06:20It is.
06:21I love that.
06:21It's a pretty feature that you don't always see anymore, the brick.
06:24We don't paint it or smear it, because the brick has a nice warmth that connects to that hearth in
06:28there.
06:29The dining room is my favorite room in the whole house.
06:31The tray ceiling, some people would say it's dated.
06:34I would say it gives this room some volume.
06:35You could probably update this and make it look really special.
06:38Yes.
06:38We're bringing the dining room and the kitchen together more.
06:41Yeah.
06:41So it becomes a very grand eat-in kitchen.
06:44What about this little beauty?
06:46I feel like when you start opening the cabinet doors or somebody's at the fridge, you can't move as well
06:50with this right here.
06:51So here's what we're thinking.
06:53You remove this permanent fixture island here.
06:56Remove those cabinets that hang down between the dining room and the kitchen.
06:59But you keep a peninsula here with a sink, barstool seating behind the sink.
07:04Losing that definitely would open this up a lot more.
07:06It would just brighten the room.
07:07The new cabinetry would continue on this wall.
07:09You would have tons of counter space.
07:11You would lose the corner pantry and then have your refrigerator and wall oven with the microwave built into the
07:16new cabinetry on this wall.
07:18Open up this doorway.
07:20So make this one big opening here.
07:23And here we really emphasize the arch by taking out the cabinets, putting in a new stovetop and quartz countertop,
07:32solid slab up this back wall for your backsplash.
07:35Super easy to clean.
07:37Yeah, that'd be beautiful.
07:37And if you lost the dark wallpaper and you went with a cream and then have new lighting over the
07:43dinner table in the dining room.
07:44New flooring throughout the house.
07:46Just a fresher, brighter, traditional kitchen.
07:49And here, 50 grand.
07:51Okay.
07:51Kitchen and dining.
07:52This will be a massive demo.
07:54They're so well built.
07:55It's going to be really hard to take it apart.
07:56I don't know how you're going to incorporate the saloon doors if we're going to make that opening bigger.
08:01I have to make bigger saloon doors.
08:03Don't tempt me with a good time.
08:05And then this hallway, you know, so many bedrooms for sleepovers, for cousins.
08:10The girls are going to be racing down the hall having races on this every morning.
08:13Yeah.
08:14And then your bedroom, like no one's ever walked on this carpet.
08:17I know.
08:18In great condition.
08:19It is so nice.
08:20But the chair rail doesn't really add anything.
08:23Yeah, I think we should take it down.
08:24Paint the room, new fan, take out the carpet.
08:27It would be that LVT throughout.
08:29I like these doors.
08:31You paint the trim, but you keep the doors.
08:33Yeah.
08:34And then Miss Patty's very custom bathroom, which makes you look like you've gotten some sun.
08:39It's bright red color, but I do love red.
08:41I'm going to come over here for a moment of reflection.
08:44You got all the reflection.
08:45Check out the back of your hair.
08:46Now, that is a real thing.
08:47It is very hard to style the back of your hair.
08:50It is.
08:50She was on to something.
08:51This is crazy how brand new this carpet looks.
08:54Y'all, oh my goodness.
08:57I never walk barefoot in a house that we haven't done yet.
09:00Miss Patty will be so honored when she is.
09:02She should be, because I don't do this.
09:04This is a huge compliment to the scriptures.
09:06Yeah.
09:07But that being said, I think you would probably want a hard surface floor for your bathroom.
09:11Absolutely.
09:11I know the girls will come in here and take baths from time to time.
09:14Well, if it's like my house, you can build them the nicest bathroom in the world.
09:17And they're still going to be too serious.
09:18They want to be with mom.
09:19Yep.
09:19Yep.
09:20So I think there is room for modernization.
09:24You could just reorient the layout of the room, take this vanity wall away.
09:30So take all of this out and let vanities live on this longer wall here.
09:34And then tool it over here tucked away behind the vanity, kind of.
09:38You'd have new flooring.
09:39You would have his and hers sink vanities.
09:42But then a custom-built makeup vanity that you could sit.
09:46Yeah, okay, yes.
09:46I have never had a place to do my makeup.
09:50I'm like a college girl carrying around my bag.
09:52It's kind of like my tackle box.
09:54Yeah.
09:54With glasses.
09:55It's very important that Tercee has.
09:56Yeah, so.
09:57Okay, and then we could build a linen cabinet where the door swings.
10:00And then start a walk-in shower here.
10:03And then a freestanding tub under the window.
10:07I love that.
10:07Could you possibly say about maybe moving the toilet?
10:11So like when you walk in, you just don't see the toilet first?
10:14It makes a lot of sense.
10:15Yeah.
10:15If we could put the toilet on the end over here.
10:17The way we currently have the bathroom planned in the bedroom, this would be $40,000.
10:22Okay.
10:23Let's go look at the backyard.
10:24Let's do it.
10:29What an amazing backyard, y'all.
10:31There's a lot of space.
10:32You have so much privacy.
10:34The girls will be playing hide-and-seek, building fairy gardens.
10:37What about something fun for the girls out here?
10:39Where we were living, we had a tree house that they liked to play at.
10:42And I see some good trees out here.
10:44Well, I know that leaving your old house was hard on the girls.
10:46Yeah.
10:47Yeah.
10:47I want to focus on how can we take the feelings and the memories of their old home and put
10:55that in this backyard.
10:56All right.
10:57You have a budget of up to $150,000.
10:59Yeah.
11:00All the renovations that we talked about here come in around $145,000.
11:04Love the changes that you're going to make.
11:05Okay.
11:06We can get started soon then.
11:11This is a really big demo.
11:12There's a lot to take out.
11:28Wait.
11:28It's this tight.
11:29Let me see if I can pull it over a little bit.
11:33God bless.
11:36She's strong.
11:37Wrong way.
11:37Turn it off.
11:38You're ruining the house.
11:40Turn it off.
11:41Just shut up.
11:42Oh, no.
11:44Hold on.
11:45Hold on.
11:46Let's just.
11:47There you go.
11:49Genius.
11:49I fixed it.
11:57Uh-oh.
11:58Oh, boy.
11:59Got some termites.
12:00What?
12:01Yeah.
12:01Got some termites.
12:05There's nothing alive in there, is there?
12:08So let's just tear it out and see if it's just only in this little section.
12:14I mean, I would have never in a million years thought of the termites in this house.
12:18That stuff's like completely gone right there.
12:19This could be really bad.
12:21Y'all, it is just so shocking.
12:23Rarely do you find termite damage this bad in a house on a slab.
12:28Termite damage is less common with a slab versus a raised foundation, because with a raised foundation, you've got easy
12:34access plus the moisture variable underneath the house.
12:40Hey!
12:46Aaron, in here.
12:49I'm going to build a fairy church.
12:51That's actually super cute, almost like a dollhouse that's outside.
12:54This will be the back window.
12:56What are the rules in this fairy church?
12:59You've got to be graceful, obviously.
13:01We could all work on that.
13:02I don't know if y'all are going to be welcome.
13:05Oh.
13:06Okay.
13:07So it's for mythical creatures.
13:08I understand.
13:10Giants.
13:10Can gnomes come into the church?
13:13Are they welcome?
13:13I don't know if gnomes are very religious.
13:16They're not known to be.
13:17They're not known to be.
13:25I'm finding a lot of damage, but there's no termites.
13:28Termites, make it over here.
13:29Uh-uh.
13:31They're not here.
13:32From the dining room to the back door.
13:36Dang.
13:37So it looks like we found the end of it over there.
13:39That last stud we uncovered doesn't have any termite damage.
13:42We weren't planning on sheet rocking, and now we're going to be framing and sheet rocking the wall.
13:47God!
13:47That is really west, isn't there?
13:49We're either going to have to tear the sheet rock up or break it.
13:52Whack it right there.
13:54I was not ready.
13:55Uh-uh.
14:03That's brick.
14:04Brick fireplace never goes out of style.
14:06There is brick behind the brass, which is great, because it continues up to the mantle and out to the
14:11bookcases.
14:11It's really pretty.
14:17When we were walking through here with Dan and Tracy, the Watts asked if we could move the toilet down
14:23here.
14:23Are y'all okay with that?
14:24Oh, yeah.
14:25It won't really matter to us, because it would be just as easy.
14:27It would be the same difference for us.
14:28We are going to rearrange the bathroom today, because when we first planned it out, the toilet was going to
14:36be right by the door.
14:37I understand why Tracy and Dan didn't like that, so we're going to see if we can move to the
14:43other end.
14:47That's thin.
14:49Yeah.
14:50Sounds thin, too.
14:56That's where our toilet drain will be.
14:58Oh, y'all hear it?
14:59Sounds like a pipe.
15:01Yes, sir.
15:02So what all else is going to be jackhammering?
15:04We'll bust up here, then we'll have to bust around the shower, then bust around the tub, and a little
15:08jackhammering for the other lavatory.
15:11Four holes.
15:13That's the goal.
15:20What is wrong now?
15:21Yesterday, like 5.30, got a text from Katie that there was a river flowing under the concrete in the
15:28bathroom.
15:29We found a crack in the pipe right here.
15:31That's a big crack.
15:32In construction, they may have run a piece of equipment in here after the plumbing was done.
15:36They didn't realize they broke the pipe.
15:38Both bathrooms was running through here, and a bunch of it's getting out of that crack.
15:41So this has been leaking for years, and it's settled all the dirt under this whole slab, and so all
15:46the dirt has gone down.
15:48So we're talking 40 years.
15:5040 years of just sinking, settling.
15:53Can you see how far the erosion goes?
15:55Oh, yes, ma'am.
15:56We could shine a light in that hole all through here.
16:00Oh, gosh.
16:01You see it shining across.
16:02Wow.
16:03That's a big gap.
16:04There's nothing solid.
16:05No, no.
16:06So we're just standing on concrete that's suspended on air.
16:09This is so crazy.
16:10I don't like that.
16:11You feel that?
16:12And it gets more erosion back that-a-way.
16:14The more settling.
16:15And see it under the other tub and this other bathroom that's behind us.
16:19No way.
16:20That's not good.
16:22Can we flush it and see what happens?
16:24Yeah.
16:24I'll go flush it.
16:25Is that why the concrete broke up so easy?
16:28I think so.
16:28I'm amazed that there's no smell.
16:31But we don't have to even talk about that, because that freaks me out.
16:32What do you mean?
16:33What kind of smell?
16:33You know what I'm saying.
16:35No one's lived here in a while.
16:36No one used the guest bath in a long time.
16:38We're very, very blessed.
16:40Ready or not?
16:41I hear it.
16:42Oh, my gosh.
16:44There it is.
16:45Wow.
16:46Did it come through?
16:47Oh, yeah.
16:48It's not quite a river.
16:49Well, see, most of the water's running out the bottom of the pipe.
16:51This is not good.
16:53This is so good.
16:54Well, no, it's good that we found it.
16:55I would hate to have this whole bathroom remodeled, and all of a sudden the floors start cracking
16:59because this is steadily sinking.
17:00Do you have any idea what it costs to do all this?
17:02A couple thousand dollars, probably, on our part, plus whatever the foundation guys have
17:35to do.
17:37Oh, it's gorgeous.
17:38It would give us endless problems.
17:49It's hollow under there, so this is definitely something that we need to get addressed here
17:54because without having anything stable underneath this slab, it can literally just fall right
17:59in.
17:59Corey from the Foundation Repair Company is here.
18:02With this bathroom, we're already two grand into contingency because Alan had to fix this
18:08pipe.
18:08Now, we need to get an idea from Corey how much more this is going to be.
18:12How do we fix this?
18:14We drill through the slab, and we inject a polyurethane-based foam.
18:18This is extremely strong stuff.
18:20It'll fill up any areas of voiding underneath the slab.
18:23In this room?
18:24Yeah, this could very likely be throughout the entire house.
18:27No.
18:29It could.
18:29The whole house?
18:30I noticed those cracks all through the floor, and that's an indicator right there.
18:35The gap is more than the washout.
18:37There definitely could be some other factors with why you're having a gap right there.
18:42So we start walking through the house with Corey paying attention, and there's cracks everywhere
18:46we look.
18:47Every room has cracks in them.
18:48I do see that there is a big crack.
18:51Mm-hmm.
18:51Ben, go on the other side of that crack right there.
18:55Okay.
18:56Just jump up and down real quick.
18:59I mean...
19:00Oh.
19:01You see that?
19:05It puckered.
19:07It is.
19:08That's a problem right there.
19:10There's a pocket of air underneath the floor.
19:13That seems really bad.
19:16So this soil is unbalanced depth fill.
19:19Really not as firm as, you know, most of the rest of the ground.
19:23So it has a lot more opportunity to move and to cause these types of problems.
19:28This is a Mississippi problem.
19:30Our water table is high.
19:31Our soil moves.
19:32Most people, when they discover this problem, it's already so bad that they can't really fix
19:40it correctly.
19:41So it's good that we caught it now.
19:43Could you give us a quote today?
19:44Probably an hour or so.
19:46Okay.
19:49It's $9,400.
19:51The Watts have $16,000 for their contingency fund.
19:57Hey, beautiful.
19:59Hey.
20:00I didn't want to freak you out.
20:01Okay.
20:02This is a big deal that we have found, but it is fixable.
20:07We discovered a six-inch gap between the dirt and the concrete slab, but it is everywhere
20:14in the house.
20:15The house is basically sitting on air.
20:18That doesn't sound very good at all.
20:20They can easily fix the problem by pumping in and expanding foam.
20:25Okay.
20:26This will never have any more foundation problems.
20:30It's about $9,400.
20:35Okay.
20:36So that's doable.
20:37Yes.
20:38Your contingency fund is $16,000.
20:41The cracked pipe was $2,000 to repair.
20:45We also found termite damage in the kitchen.
20:49That was another $2,000.
20:52Okay.
20:52That puts us around $14,000 of your contingency.
20:56And the good news is...
20:58Luckily, you found all those issues.
21:01It would be surprising to find anything else.
21:06It's like...
21:17Is this the foam?
21:18Yeah, that is the foam traveling through those hoses right now.
21:22Check this out.
21:27And that's how far it drops down from where the slab is.
21:30That's crazy.
21:31So we're looking at about that much down from where the slab is.
21:34Do you have to do a bigger hole now to do the foam?
21:36No.
21:37That's as much as we need.
21:38Really?
21:38And we can put our injection port down there, shoot it all in, and fill these holes up.
21:43So how long before that's fully cured?
21:47It's almost there.
21:50Ooh, that's hot.
21:51Yeah, once that fully hardens, you can literally drive a car over that.
21:56Awesome.
22:06So I want to show y'all this tree.
22:08I'm sure over 100 years old.
22:10Sure, yeah.
22:10The tree was so special to us because Dan's dad built the treehouse in the tree, and so
22:16it was Dan's, and then his girls enjoyed it so much.
22:20We had some straight-line winds, and the tree fell, and the limbs were across the yard.
22:25It was just too dangerous to leave it up anymore.
22:27We had to cut it, and it just made us sick.
22:30We really did hate to cut it.
22:32So you saved this piece for me to use?
22:34Yes.
22:34If I can.
22:35That would be so special if Ben could do his magic and make something for them out of that.
22:40Oh, it's hollow.
22:41That's probably why it fell.
22:42We can do something with it.
22:43That will mean so much to Dan.
22:45It was kind of emotional for him to see him cut it down.
22:48It's the giving tree.
22:50Well, yeah.
22:50I'll come back.
22:51I'll bring tractor and trailer.
22:52Great.
22:53We'll load it up.
22:54He is excited.
23:09Mr. Gregg, you've really stepped it up doing the shadow molding on everything lately, and I'm obsessed.
23:15It looks beautiful.
23:16The fact that we are putting in kitchen cabinets today feels like a huge relief.
23:21We are okay now.
23:26That looks great.
23:28Way more useful kitchen.
23:29The wall oven has plenty of room.
23:31Microwave has room.
23:32It's going to work great.
23:36This house has been extremely challenging.
23:39We have the termite wall.
23:40That's been repaired.
23:41All good.
23:42Two grand.
23:43The bathroom is all patched up.
23:45Standing on a firm foundation.
23:47And now we can start to design.
23:49It's going to get pretty now.
23:53Your house is so beautiful.
23:55Thank you so much.
23:56I appreciate that.
23:57It glows.
23:58That would be the lamps.
23:59Clayton Bowler is a seamster in Hattiesburg.
24:03Because we have that tray ceiling, it gives this dining room presence.
24:08I have a really specific wish for Tracy and Dan's dining room light fixture.
24:13It's a real statement-making moment.
24:15I owe you an apology already because this is not what you do.
24:20I can do tons of special projects.
24:21What you got?
24:25So what if you upholstered the lampshade with this?
24:29I found this tablecloth.
24:30It was 30 bucks.
24:31A steal.
24:32Tablecloth is a really good option for fabric.
24:35You don't really always have to go to a fabric store.
24:37I've turned placemats into pillows.
24:39You'd be surprised what you can do with normal fabric.
24:41Right?
24:41Yeah.
24:41What's your favorite thing to make?
24:42I really like to make bedding.
24:44Yeah.
24:44It's the last thing you get to see before you go to bed at night.
24:46This would make a beautiful duvet.
24:48It would.
24:48Like all of her inspiration images, she had tons of this blues, greens, whites, block prints.
24:55I think it's going to make a killer lampshade.
24:57Yeah?
24:57Yeah.
25:04Now, before we start, we could use a pleating foot.
25:09It's technically called a ruffle foot, but it's a lot of fuss.
25:12And this is really something simple you could do with a fork.
25:14You're going to take the first tine of the fork right here.
25:17Yep.
25:18And you're going to slide it in the fabric.
25:20Mm-hmm.
25:20And you're going to twist and shimmy it up next, please.
25:27Pull it out.
25:28That's like a perfect measurement.
25:29It's exactly.
25:30There are multiple uses for an at-home fork.
25:32Uh-huh.
25:33I use them to do French braids, actually.
25:35Do you really?
25:36Yeah.
25:36That's really cool.
25:37There are so many things you can do with a fork.
25:39I'm learning this more and more as a girl mom.
25:41You can eat with it.
25:43You can pleat with it.
25:45Like this.
25:46Isn't that cool?
25:46It's awesome.
25:47An amazing showstopper in that dining room.
25:49Oh, my gosh.
25:50Yes.
25:59Oh!
26:00You like them?
26:02This looks so good.
26:05And look at this.
26:07You just walk in.
26:08You just walk in.
26:09You don't...
26:09Yeah, none of that.
26:11Because the door was centered before.
26:13Then it makes so much sense.
26:14Leave this side latched.
26:16Use this door only.
26:18No one crashes.
26:19Cypress looks really good.
26:20Uh-huh.
26:21This is ready to be painted now.
26:23And then there's just this moment where you get a little extra breath of air in the dining
26:28room.
26:28Don't even talk bad about this tray ceiling.
26:31Now that everything's primed, it sure looks a lot better.
26:34It gives her favorite room some volume, and it becomes this, like, atmospheric background
26:38for a really special light fixture.
26:40It's sort of like a beard.
26:41Listen, you got yourself a double chin going on.
26:44You grow a beard.
26:47Suddenly, you're not soft.
26:49In this case, our light fixture by Clayton will be the beard.
26:52There you go.
26:53And our paint on the ceiling will be the handsome face that that beard goes on.
26:59We are ready to pick everything we need to pick in here.
27:02We've got primer.
27:03I need you to pick a paint color.
27:04Got it.
27:05I just want it to feel like a very soft paint blue just in the tray.
27:10This is what I was imagining.
27:12Yeah.
27:12Let's go Valspar, Seaside Fog.
27:14Love it.
27:15It's almost gray.
27:16I mean, it's very desaturated.
27:17It's very calm.
27:18Yeah.
27:19Yeah.
27:19A cool shadow.
27:20It accentuates it instead of trying to mask it.
27:23Yeah.
27:24Okay.
27:24Let's do it.
27:41The idea here is like a porch swing, but the seat of it is the sly out from this tree.
27:46So it's recognizably his childhood tree.
27:50Yeah.
27:50When that tree came down, it was just devastating.
27:53Yeah.
27:54It was a tree for shade, and then it was a playhouse, and then it was a swing.
27:58It had a swing hanging from it, and now it will become a swing.
28:00This way the tree lives on.
28:02It's the giving tree.
28:03The tree that keeps on giving.
28:04It's really sweet.
28:05Now you're going to use the tractor to roll it out of this poison ivy.
28:09Yeah.
28:15Oh, snake!
28:16Snake!
28:16Snake!
28:18Huh?
28:18There's a snake!
28:21Where'd the snake go?
28:23I knew that there would be a snake when the log moved.
28:27I hate that.
28:29Let's cut some slices.
28:32Today's the day.
28:33He's so excited.
28:34I got a new toy.
28:35Chainsaw mill.
28:36Instead of the log moving through the mill, the mill moves through the log.
28:42Wait till you see this sucker go.
28:44Ben, I swear if a snake comes out of the hole, I'm done.
28:58Could this possibly be?
29:00And I'm not being accusatory.
29:02Could it be a user error?
29:04It's just something to, you know, discuss.
29:09That's not what it is.
29:13It should crank.
29:18We flooded it.
29:21It was user error.
29:32This thing is awesome now that it's working.
29:38So this is roughly what the swing will look like, the seat.
29:41This will be really cool.
29:49Oh, we're so close to finishing the White's house.
29:52Flooring's going in everywhere.
29:54It changes the feel of the house.
29:58We basically just need Mr. Gregg to build a bridge between the vanities with one drawer
30:05over the lap, make it feel like this was a big custom-built unit.
30:09It's a customized, prefab system.
30:12So it saves money.
30:14And it looks luxury.
30:15Yeah, and it looks luxury.
30:16It lives luxury, too.
30:17Oh, it does.
30:18Yes, yes.
30:33How's this for a fairy fort?
30:35This is awesome.
30:37Does this make me the fairy godfather?
30:39It does today, baby.
30:41Look at this.
30:41Come to me on the day of my daughter's wedding.
30:45Today I'm building a tree fort.
30:47It's very fairy-centric.
30:49A fairy fort.
30:51Tracy and Dan told the girls they would be buying a new house and moving.
30:55And the first thing the girls were sad about, they were going to miss their little fairy garden
31:01tree house in the backyard that Dan had built for them.
31:04We have to build them a new one.
31:06Obviously, it's going to be a little bit more advanced.
31:10What we're talking about doing is to pick a tree and build around it.
31:14Structurally sound enough that no one's going to get hurt.
31:17But it does feel very manufactured.
31:20I don't want to lose the whimsy.
31:22We're going to have twinkle lights in it.
31:24Build a handrail and then attach the sticks to that all the way around.
31:29And we could use the limbs from the giving tree.
31:33Like fairies might have built it.
31:35We need some whimsy.
31:37We need the fairy church.
31:41Like this.
31:42And I'll just put something on top for a roof.
31:44What if the roof had moss all over it?
31:46I don't have any moss in here.
31:48I'll see what I can find.
31:55We're like finishing up so many things here.
31:58There's a million people all on top of each other.
32:00We're finishing plumbing in the kitchen.
32:03We're finishing electrical stuff.
32:04We're getting ceiling fans, sconces all hooked up on the front porch.
32:08We got carpet going on the stairs.
32:09We're finishing up flooring.
32:11We're about to put in all the thresholds.
32:13Installing hardware and pulls on the cabinet doors and drawers.
32:16The painters are coming.
32:18The colors are all so soft everywhere.
32:21Like the outside of the house is this French vanilla color.
32:23And then we have a Robin's egg blue on the shutters.
32:26But it means that the Watts get to come home really soon.
32:40Oh my gosh.
32:41Well this is cute.
32:42You like it?
32:43Oh my gosh.
32:44We're just trying to replicate the fairy garden that Veda and Evie had at their old house.
32:48Mm.
32:49So they feel at home an upgraded version of what they're familiar with.
32:53My goal is to build, like, a whole little fairy town
32:57around the trunk of the tree.
33:09Oh, that's super cute, Lou.
33:12I mean, wow.
33:25I know that the scrimptures who lived here before
33:28put so much love into it,
33:29and it was so custom to who they are,
33:31and I would like to believe
33:33that they will be pleased to see what we've done.
33:36Everything that Tracy gave me inspiration-wise,
33:39creamy whites, lots of blues, greens,
33:44soft oak wood tones,
33:46she wanted it to feel warm, fresh, bright,
33:49like a whole new start.
33:50The brick around the cooktop
33:53is the star of the kitchen.
33:55The bathroom is gonna make Tracy yelp.
33:59It cannot wait.
34:00Of course, when I think of the Watts,
34:02I think of their two girls
34:03because my girls are so close to their age,
34:05and I know exactly how they would be feeling right now,
34:07which is so excited they're ready to jump out of their skin.
34:10Also nervous about what it will be like to have a new home.
34:13Ben building a treehouse for the backyard felt right
34:15because for two little girls
34:17who play outside all day every day,
34:19that's gonna be their new house.
34:21And then that porch swing is really,
34:23that's for Dan.
34:23It feels so good to bring a piece of his childhood
34:26home to this house.
34:28This is a super cool house.
34:29I hope that it is the dream come true
34:31that Tracy's always had.
34:33All right.
34:34It's finally here.
34:35You're finally moving in.
34:36Welcome to the Wyatt's house.
34:40Oh, my God.
34:43Wow.
34:43It's beautiful.
34:45I love it.
34:47I'm, like, speechless.
34:49I'm just shaking.
34:49I don't know what to say in here.
34:51It looks amazing.
34:52I'm mind-blowing.
34:54It's just a little paint,
34:55some new light fixtures,
34:57and a new front door.
34:59I'm, like, flooded with emotion.
35:02That's awesome.
35:04The brick is so pretty,
35:05and I feel like you didn't pay attention to it before,
35:08and now the brick feels a part of the color scheme.
35:12It made the porch look bigger,
35:13like, with the doors and everything,
35:15where it looked squatty before.
35:16I love the front doors.
35:17These front doors are beautiful.
35:19They're custom-made cypress.
35:21These little changes may get you.
35:23It definitely looks like the Wyatt's house now.
35:27I cannot wait for the girls to see it.
35:29It looks like a house
35:30that little girls would grow up in.
35:32It looks like a dollhouse.
35:34It's perfect.
35:34All right.
35:35You want to go in?
35:36Definitely.
35:37Yes.
35:42Wow.
35:42Oh, my goodness.
35:46Oh, my goodness.
35:50This looks so different
35:52not having all the flowers on the wall.
35:54Look at the light fixture.
35:56I like it.
35:58All right.
35:58Go to your new living room.
36:00You can look.
36:04Oh, my goodness.
36:07Y'all, this is not even the same house.
36:12I love it.
36:13Yay.
36:14The fireplace, too.
36:15Y'all exposed the brick.
36:18This is so wild.
36:20I am shook.
36:23I did not expect this.
36:25This is everything we've dreamed of.
36:27I'm glad y'all exposed the brick.
36:29I love the color that it brought.
36:31And we just added trim in there
36:32and painted it all.
36:33We just wanted to take it
36:34to a more traditional place.
36:36The room looks so much bigger, too,
36:38and it has more furniture.
36:39I love the colors,
36:40the blues and the floral.
36:41You took so much time to, like,
36:43find the little pieces of meat.
36:45Okay.
36:45Kitchen.
36:46I'm so excited.
36:47Yeah.
36:47No more saloon doors.
36:51Oh, my God.
36:54Wow.
36:55Erin!
36:56Is this real?
36:58This is real.
37:00I don't know.
37:04It's like I can't even remember
37:05what anything looked like
37:06because you changed it all
37:08so tastefully and dramatically
37:10and it's gorgeous.
37:12Oh, look at...
37:12I was really wondering
37:14how that would be
37:15without those cabinets.
37:16Yeah.
37:17It looks beautiful.
37:18And that opens it up so much.
37:19Yeah, I made it.
37:20It exudes warmth
37:21around the area where you cut.
37:23I feel like there's more room,
37:24I think,
37:25from taking these cabinets down.
37:27This is definitely
37:27a good hangout kitchen.
37:30It looks like
37:31what I've always wanted.
37:32Oh, yes!
37:33In my head,
37:33but could never have done.
37:35Yes, like,
37:35I'm not good
37:36at putting everything together.
37:37I feel like I'm in a dollhouse,
37:39like,
37:39that I'm getting to play
37:41in the dollhouse.
37:42And then,
37:43the dining room
37:43is my very favorite.
37:46I love this lampshade.
37:48This custom light fixture
37:50by our friend Clayton.
37:51And it matches the wallpaper.
37:53Yes.
37:53It's beautiful.
37:54Yes.
37:54I love that.
37:55I love the dining room
37:56because it feels like
37:57it has a little formality
37:58because of the volume,
38:00the ceilings.
38:01Emphasize your tray ceiling.
38:02Some people feel like
38:03they could be dated.
38:04It brings everything together.
38:06It makes the room
38:07look super big.
38:08Yeah.
38:08This room has a lot of character.
38:10And I feel like
38:11it has dimension.
38:12Yeah, and it was so separate
38:13before,
38:14and now,
38:15it was those cabinets
38:15that made it feel that way.
38:16It looks really nice.
38:18It just feels like home already.
38:19It really does.
38:20I'm so excited.
38:20You gotta see your bathroom.
38:21Your bathroom is so you.
38:22Oh, I can't wait to see it.
38:23You know,
38:23that's like my main
38:25thing that I wanted.
38:28Oh, my goodness.
38:31Yeah.
38:32It's crazy with the floor.
38:33It's beautiful.
38:34I love it.
38:35Okay, but go to the bathroom.
38:36Okay.
38:36This is all she's wanted.
38:38Don't delay any longer.
38:41Oh, my gosh.
38:43What in the world?
38:45This looks awesome.
38:47You got a little spot.
38:48It's so elegant
38:49and like timeless.
38:50Like my vanity.
38:52This is for me.
38:53This is so beautiful.
38:55I love these gold mirrors.
38:58And a little stool.
38:59Look at the tub.
39:01We're excited about this.
39:02We got the biggest bathtub
39:03we could find
39:03because at our house,
39:05the girls just use it
39:06as a pool.
39:06They love to be in our
39:08presence at all times.
39:09So this is great.
39:10When are the girls
39:10getting here?
39:11They should be here
39:12any minute.
39:12There's a surprise for them.
39:14There's a surprise for them.
39:14But we want y'all
39:15to see it first.
39:16You'll see what you see.
39:17Okay.
39:18Oh, my God.
39:19Oh!
39:22A little over the top, baby,
39:24but that is amazing.
39:26The girls are going to love this.
39:27Their very own fairy garden.
39:29You had a fairy garden
39:30at your old house.
39:30Yeah.
39:31We wanted to give them
39:32another one.
39:33This one's beautiful.
39:34Do you recognize the church?
39:36That's the stained glass
39:37from the kitchen.
39:38But then this is for y'all.
39:40So the swing...
39:42Oh, I didn't even see that.
39:43...is a slab from the tree
39:46at Miss Martha's.
39:47Wow.
39:48Is that the tree house?
39:49The tree house tree.
39:51That Dan's dad?
39:51Yes.
39:52Yeah.
39:53This is, like, something
39:54that his dad would have built
39:55for the girls.
39:56Wow.
39:58So...
39:58That's beautiful.
40:00It just feels like
40:00we got a piece of him,
40:01and knowing that
40:02that was out of a tree house
40:03that he had for Dan
40:04when he was a little boy
40:05really means a lot
40:06since he's not here anymore.
40:11All right, come on.
40:12I need you to see this up close.
40:13This thing is sturdy.
40:14Yeah, it's got a really good frame.
40:16And Lucy helped me set up
40:18a little fairy village.
40:18Oh, she did.
40:18Fairy village here.
40:20I love that.
40:20They were struggling
40:21with the move.
40:22This will definitely help them.
40:23It's a steel frame.
40:24It's two pieces
40:25that we bolted together.
40:26This is really cool.
40:28So you gave us $145,000
40:30to do the renovation.
40:31With the foundation
40:32and the termites,
40:34it was $14,000
40:35on the contingency.
40:37Looks like so much more, honestly.
40:38This is our dream house
40:40y'all created.
40:41Yeah.
40:41Thank y'all for making this happen.
40:43Hey, girl!
40:44How's it going?
40:44Come check this out.
40:46This is awesome.
40:46Come here.
40:47Come here.
40:48Your very own fairy garden.
40:51Are you beautiful?
40:53Y'all got your very own fairy garden.
40:54Look at that.
40:56What do y'all think?
40:58But you can add
40:59lots of stuff to it.
41:00And then look right here.
41:01You see this big swing?
41:03Right here.
41:04What?
41:05That's out of Papa Kenny's tree.
41:08Isn't that neat?
41:09So it's like we got
41:09a little piece of Papa Kenny
41:10with us all the time.
41:12Mm-hmm.
41:13Yeah, we'll go down there
41:14and watch.
41:15Y'all can play.
41:15Yeah.
41:16This is awesome.
41:18There's going to be
41:18a lot of time spent right here.
41:27This is Jones College.
41:29Trista is the ladies'
41:30head basketball coach.
41:31She wants some help
41:32with the locker room.
41:34Here we are.
41:36Feels like we're in a basement.
41:37It does.
41:38We would love to have it done
41:40by our first outing.
41:44It feels very masculine.
41:45And so what's opposite of that?
41:47We don't have our toilets.
41:48We don't have our cold plunge.
41:50Kind of have a list of things
41:51that we don't have right now.
41:53What in the world
41:54you got going on in here?
41:55I know, it's awful.
41:55We need another week.
41:58Look at that.
