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