Drew: This is sam and jeremy's
forever home.

Welcome to our home.
Come on in.

Jonathan: Sam grew up in this
neighborhood,

but moved back
when it was time to have a baby.

I wanted to be
close to my mom.

I've been so lucky.

Drew: And because jeremy has
moved around a lot...

This is my 21st house
I've lived in.

What?

...He wants to stability
for his family.

My mom used to put avery
on her knee and sing to her.

Those are the memories
you couldn't get

if you went to another home.

Drew: And although renovations
aren't easy...

Aah!

...The love they have
for this house

means that moving
is out of the questions.

She's literally better
than drew is.

So they need us...

...To help them stay
in the home they love.

Oh!
I love it!

Sam:
Oh, this is the best.

♪♪

jonathan:
A house is four walls.

Drew:
A home, that's where
memories are made.

[ laughter ]

that's what
I'm talking about!

Oh! [ laughing ]
oh, my...

This is
"property brothers"...

"forever home."

-this is fantastic.
-Yeah.

Are you getting ready
to show off the house?

-Whoa!
-How's it going, guys?

Do we have a local artist
extraordinaire?

How are you?

-Hi. Hello.
-Look who it is, avery.

-Wow!
-"welcome to our forever home."

I love it.

Does this come with a song,
as well?

-No.
-What?

-What?
-Oh.

Who's the best singer
in our family?

Daddy.

Oh, really, dad?

I want to hear something.
Sing about your house.

Welcome to our home.
Bring something new...

I've never been serenaded
upon a house tour.

...To our forever home.

A lot of talent
in the family here.

So what is it that made you guys
fall in love with this house?

This is the neighborhood
I grew up in.

And we were ready
to have a baby,

so I wanted to be
close to my mom.

-So...
-Yay for me!

As she may do today
is help me out with avery.

I'm just so happy that everybody
moved to this side of the city.

And then we had
this beautiful baby.

And now she's 6.
-6 years old?

-Wow.
-I know, I've been so lucky.

So avery, you've only ever
lived in this home.

Wow. And jeremy?

Well, this is my 21st house
I've lived in.

-What?
-We've been here...

My dad's work had us moving
around a lot when I was a kid,

but we've been here
seven years.

It's the longest
I've ever lived in one house.

And grammy's close by.
Lots of family and support,

so it was the right place
to start our family.

I would love
to jump inside,

and have you guys
just show us through.

Are you guys coming
on the tour, as well?

No, I have
another commitment,

but I'm sure I'm leaving you
in good hands.

-All right.
-Sounds good. See you inside.

Bye, darling.

Ooh, lucky me.

-See you later, brenda.
-Bye. Have a good day.

-Alrighty.
-Oh, wow.

Sam: We seem to have
a lot of stuff --

a lot of jackets,
a lot of shoes,

and it doesn't really
work well for us.

-What do you think?
-I think it's a bit too tight.

I agree.
Especially when you have

three guys our size here.
-Come on guys, let's walk...

-I can't even move.
-I agree with you.

I think we need to find
a way to clean this up,

make it more inviting,

maybe make it function
better for storage.

And then -- I mean, I guess
the first thing

is you want to get your guests
into the living room.

Can you tour us
through the house?

Living room. Oh, yeah.
Have got to go this way.

Okay. Everybody
in the living room.

Well, one thing I'm noticing
is there's no rhyme or reason

for where the chairs
and sofas are.

And you have a lot of seats,

more than what
should be in here.

Well, we sort of have one,
jeremy.

Two, three, and then couch
for a few people.

-Sam -- for sam.
-It's like musical chairs.

We love this furniture.
We are comfortable people.

How willing are you to
part with this sofa

or some
of these furniture pieces?

Although they're comfortable,
they don't all fit together

in any way, shape, or form.

And you know, there are
a lot of good memories,

especially in this space.

My mom passed away
just a couple months ago,

and my mom used to put avery on
her knee and sing to her.

Those memories
will always be here.

Those are the memories
you couldn't get

if you went to another home.
-Yeah.

So that's why I love the idea --

if we could
freshen this space up,

make it function better for you.
I'd love to see it more open.

Wouldn't it be cool to be
able to see mom in the kitchen?

Right now, what happens?

Be cool to see mom
in the kitchen at any point.

[ laughter ]

dad does most of the cooking.
-Oh, wow.

I have to give him that.
He does. He does.

Hold on a second.

We were not told
that you already had

a professional designer
come in here

and do all of your plans
for you.

Jonathan, our work
is done.

We already have
the full floor plan.

So what are
we looking at?

So it looks
like a castle.

Is that a cake
already on the table?

-Yes.
-I love cakes.

And speaking of tables,
how do you use the dining room?

There's three of us
in the family,

but we have lots of friends
and family come over to...

We like board games.
We love playing games,

and our table
just doesn't accommodate

having as many people
at it as we would like.

Drew:
When it comes to game nights,
we totally understand the need

for a good functional table.

Jonathan: Puzzles, board games,
they all take up a lot of room

and you got to have space
to spread out.

I also need space away from you
because I know you cheat.

I don't cheat.

I think the floor is
like a hardwood,

but it's
a little bit dated.

It's a lotta bit dated.

Also, see? Everyone, move.
Go like this. How squeaky it is.

I mean, there's a lot of work
that has to happen out here,

but I'm peeking
at this kitchen,

and I kind of feel
this needs a ton of work.

-Whoa.
-Definitely a little dated.

Jonathan:
I mean, actually, the tile
is kind of cool

if it was in like a smaller use

and maybe as like
an accent detail.

But to have your entire kitchen
with these floors

and these color oak cabinets,
it feels a little dated.

I'm noticing two things
that your kitchen

is apparently lacking --
one is an island.

Jeremy: This is like one of
those uninhabited islands.

Doesn't even fit
one person on it.

And the other thing it's missing
is, clearly, storage.

Sam: Yeah, storage --
a big issue.

When you have commercial
storage racks in your kitchen,

you know you're
lacking storage.

I know you have a bonus room
over here,

and it's kind of
a catch-all space

with the other door
to the backyard.

In my opinion, issue number one
would be the kitchen.

Opening all this up,
and giving you an island

would easily add more storage.
And if you want even more,

maybe I could expand the kitchen
across the entire wall

since you already have
another exit to the backyard.

-Yeah, that would be amazing.
-A dream come true.

What do you think,
banana head?

You like it?
-I mean, it is a great house.

Jonathan:
The basement has a very
spacious second living space.

Upstairs, all the bedrooms
are a great size.

Oh, wow.

This is definitely
the designer's room.

It's very cute.

Jonathan: But the main bathroom
has seen better days.

Look at those daisies.
It needs some work.

So we're going to focus
primarily on the main floor --

the entry, living room,
dining room, and kitchen.

And maybe that bathroom.
-And the bathroom, yes.

Jeremy: I have my own bathroom
downstairs,

and so this is sam
and avery's bathroom.

Jonathan:
In order to make that happen,

what would you
be looking to spend?

-150,000.
-Wow.

You sound like you're scared
of that number.

It's a big number,
but it is our forever home.

I have an idea of how we can
pay for the renovation.

Ha! There we go.
We're halfway there.

Okay, that might not be enough
to pay for the renovation.

Jeremy: You sure?

What sort of design style
do you like?

We sort of came up
with country house modern.

We like the functional
and open.

Clean, open.

-Fresh farm house.
-Yeah, there you go.

I think it's all going
to start with you guys

getting your stuff
out of here,

and have this as a blank slate
for us to start with.

Drew will do an inspiration
tour with you,

show you some ideas of stuff

that you could put
into the house.

And then once we get
all your feedback,

I'll put together
some options,

and we'll know
which direction to go.

All right. Get all
your stuff out of here,

and we'll start the demo.
-Hey, that's my money!

Jonathan:
I love that this family already
has so many great memories here.

It's what makes staying so much
more special than just moving.

Agreed. I'd say these are
exactly the type of roots

jeremy's eager to put down
for himself and sam,

but most importantly, for avery.

And this came from your great,
great, great grandmas.

Whose cool sunglasses
are these?

-Mine.
-Do they still work?

-Amazing.
-Put them in the box.

-Load it all up.
-Load it all up.

♪♪

it's demo day.
So excited!

We've got the energy,
but she's got more of it.

You know, a little nervous
because this is it.

Once we start, there's
sort of no turning back.

Maybe we shouldn't
go through with that.

Mm. I think so.

I just have to say
I'm pretty impressed.

You are set up here.
What tools have you got in here?

-A hammer.
-Try your goggles on.

You look way cooler
than I do.

And what's that?
What's that over there?

These are my floor plannings.

You've done floor plans already?
What have we got here?

You definitely want
these walls gone.

And did you already check
with an engineer

to make sure that
this is going to work?

Yeah? You're already
talking...

No? Oh, you didn't?
Okay, let's start.

I mean, the only way we're going
to be able to get to this,

or any of the other options
we put together,

will be to get this wall
opened up

so we can see
what we're dealing with.

-Oh, my gosh.
-Two, three.

-Whoa.
-Whoa.

-Yay.
-Keep going.

-Keep going.
-Yes.

[ pounding ]

uh-oh.
We found a duct.

So that is probably
actually feeding upstairs.

-Okay.
-Every duct, every pipe,

everything that we have
to relocate costs us

more time and money.
Why don't you guys start?

Go ahead and punch a hole
in this side,

and then we'll pull that off,
and you and I are going to work

on this side
and pull off this trim here.

So you hit once,
I hit once.

Jonathan: This is the only house
avery has ever known.

So taking part in the changes

we're making will help her
prepare for what's to come.

I'm going to get you
to take this,

and we're going to
chuck it out here.

We'll just toss it over there.
One, two, three.

Hoo-wah!
Good job.

Jonathan:
And to be safe, since things are
getting a little bit too dusty,

I'm sending her off
with grandma brenda.

♪♪

ahh! Oh,
there's another one.

Ahh! Oh, no.
There's another one.

Every one we find,

it's going to just be a
little bit trickier to hide.

Let's hope
we don't find anymore.

Okay.
-Hey, only two.

Okay. We can deal with that.

So in this whole wall then,
we just have two obstructions.

[ pounding ]

you missed a spot
up above.

Whoo!
-Winner.

Oh, my gosh.

-There's the kitchen.
-Wow.

Jeremy:
It'd be nice if we could see
the back door, though, too.

Then let's get
that wall out.

All right.

[ pounding ]

whoo. All right.
Now, be totally honest.

Light test.
Does it feel brighter?

Oh, yeah. Awesome.

I'm already picturing
prepping at the counter

and watching people
do stuff.

New memories,
not staring at a wall.

I love sam and jeremy.

They just tore apart
their house,

and they're so chill about it.

They have a vision
of what their house could be,

which makes our job
a lot easier.

But now they have
to meet up with drew

so they can help him
understand what that vision

it actually looks like.
Meanwhile, my team

and I are going to keep
stripping everything back

so we can start planning
some options.

♪♪

okay, so this is all beam
right here.

That means there's no load
over here on this side.

So that, we can take right out.
-We can take this all, yeah.

Jonathan:
Homes of this age often need
multiple beams to remove walls

because the rooms
are just so wide.

But the good news here
is we need just one.

The other thing
we have to figure out

is where are we going
to move those ducts

so that we can keep this wall
as open as possible.

♪♪

sam and jeremy described
their style as fresh farmhouse.

I want to make sure I understand
what that means to them

so that we can deliver
the look they want

and of course,
what avery wants.

So what are you expecting
to see in the house?

Open concept.

Really? Anything else
we should look for?

A island.

I think that avery should be
the real estate agent

and tour us through.
This is the house.

Sam:
Yeah, I love it.

A little modern
but not too modern.

Yes, come on in.

Drew, I can see
to the back now.

Drew: You can see to the back,
no walls there.

Come on in.
-Yeah, I love how open it is.

Drew:
But, I actually think
we could fit

more furniture
in your space.

You have a bit more room
to work with.

That would be great.

This bathroom here, they did
a very basic freshening up.

I think that's the kind of thing
we can do for you, too.

Are you okay with going
with a bit of pattern

or color in the tile?

Yeah, make it
a little bit unique.

Yeah. It's not a massive
footprint in there

so then, we can get away with
something a little more bold

and it's not going
to be overpowering.

Yeah. I like the naturalness
in the flooring.

Do you like
that wide plank?

Yeah, that's
really nice.

I'd prefer maybe a little bit
more uniformity color-wise.

We can go for something that's
a little bit more toned down

and even throughout.

Come on this way.
Open flow to the kitchen.

There you go, avery.
That's your spot.

-Nice kitchen.
-Wow.

I like it.
I like the cabinets.

So, what do you like?

I like that I have a island.

Sam: Countertops,
I like the look of it.

I think the color
is not bad.

Avery:
I think this should be pink.

I don't know
about that.

I mean,
the bolder you go,

the quicker it's going
to go out of style.

Sam: I kind of like the sink
not being part of an island.

You know, I like to have it
looking outside

and you know what I mean?

Daydream?
-Yes.

I like the gas stove.

It's nice, six burner.

Yes. Lots of room
to cook up a feast.

You guys like
the farmhouse vibe?

Do these cabinets
work for you?

Yes, but maybe not completely
white, maybe like a gray.

Do you like
the shaker style?

Yeah, I like the style
of it, for sure.

-Okay, that's great.
-Well, I love all the storage.

I would love to see
more storage.

And not stuff all out
in the open like it is now.

-Yes.
-We want open concept.

We don't need open
concept storage.

Yes. We can definitely come up
with a plan for more storage.

What do you think about
having all these seats

across here
in an island?

I like it.

Which would you pick?
Which would be your seat?

That one.

Oh, really?
I think you should try it out

just to make sure
it's the right spot.

Here, I'll help you.

Mm-hmm. Does it looks
like the right spot?

-Yes.
-I love how open it is.

I really like being able to see
everything going on

from the kitchen.

I like the kitchen table.
I like that look.

Drew: It is gorgeous.

A big table that's open to your
kitchen will make hosting

so much easier.
-Yeah.

I'll give this
to jonathan.

He'll come up
with some options.

Do you want to stay here
or do you want to head out?

-Let's go.
-All right, let's go.

All right.

After seeing what sam,
jeremy, and avery

are looking for,
I'm pretty confident

jonathan will be able
to nail down their style

and design some options
that are perfect for them.

Avery loved that she could
see front to back,

and I know that's what mom
and dad want, too.

They loved the hardwood floors,

but want a more
uniform finish.

The island was a hit with
avery,

but I think
we'll avoid pink countertops.

Jeremy loves the idea
of whipping up meals

on a gas range,
and of course,

sam really wants
more storage solutions

to keep everything tucked away.

A big dining table will make
game night much more enjoyable.

And finally, the upstairs
bathroom should be spa-like

but also have some personality.

♪♪

oh, drop the beam
right on you.

You know, I got to get
a little tan in.

-What's going on?
-I brought some goodies.

This is
your vacation time?

And I'm sunbathing
on your truck.

The house tour
went really well.

I got a lot
of information.

Not just information from sam
and jeremy, but also from avery.

Avery is the designer.

She made me an actual floor plan
with the before and an after.

Oh, my gosh. She's amazing.
Let's start kitchen.

All right?
How about that?

So, for cabinets, this is the
cabinet style that they like.

I like it.

Also, I flagged
a few different colors.

There's no white.
See all the grays.

Oh, so they're interested
in doing, like, white gray?

Yeah, a little bit darker
because it's nice in open now.

It's not a small space
like they used to have.

If a kitchen is
big and bright,

then there's no need
to be afraid of color.

I used navy on my island
in my kitchen

because I have a lot
of natural light pouring in.

Sticking with white
in a small kitchen

will keep it feeling
bright and spacious.

So if we do want
that two-tone feel,

I think a light shade
will do the trick.

Well, now that sam
and jeremy's house is so open,

this neutral color is perfect.
It'll ground the space,

complementing the living room
and dining areas.

So, if we go gray for our
cabinets,

maybe go lighter counters.

I agree.
White or off white?

I like that.
And then maybe something

a little larger scale
for the tile?

-Yeah.
-What do you think?

If the cabinets are going quite
dark, that may be too dark.

Because I was thinking
of doing a statement hood.

We could do something
in a contrasting wood tone.

-That's what you're thinking?
-Yeah.

If we did something like that,
that'd be kinda cool.

Because then, we could go
with something similar

for the floors and see...

Okay. That's actually great
that you picked that

because for the bathroom,
they love wood tones,

but I thought
that slate whitewash

could work
for the cabinets there.

Nice.

So, kill two birds
with one stone.

Flooring in the bathroom.

They do like
a little bit of pattern.

They want something fresh, and
a little different take on it,

but I think these are
some good patterns.

I think that'll be cool, and
it still keeps it nice and clean

in the gray
realm that they like.

Even though I want everything
to be beautiful and updated,

we still have to find ways
to save some money

because the engineer
came by,

and we need a bigger beam
than I anticipated.

It's going to cost
an extra $3,000.

Wow.

Whatever we can do without
sacrificing the overall design.

Yeah. Well, I'll leave
this with you.

I also don't want to
sacrifice your tan,

so I'll let you
get back to it.

Yes. I had to turn over,
so I'll move this.

Jonathan: Since my engineer came
in earlier than expected,

we're actually
ahead of schedule.

And even though she recommended
that the beam

was bigger
than I had hoped,

the good news is once
this bad boy is up

and secured into place,

they will officially have
their open concept.

This is going to be
the most dramatic change

for sam and jeremy.

It'll have the biggest impact
on how they live in their home.

-What do you think?
-Oh, my gosh.

-Oh, my goodness. Wow.
-It looks bigger.

-It looks great inside.
-It's a little messy up front.

Yes.
Come around the back.

-All right.
-All right.

-Oh, my goodness.
-What do you think?

-Oh, my gosh.
-Oh, my goodness.

Things have changed
a little bit.

They're gone!
Hold on, I have
something for you.

Come on up here.

All right.
There you go, guys.

Perfect. Now I can see you.
Great.

So, anything jump out to you
that is unexpected?

-The huge beam.
-You had a beam from here

to the end before,
but taking out this wall,

we had to run it
the whole way.

Jeremy: It's so open.
It's amazing.

Based off of a lot
of the feedback

we got from
the inspiration tour

and stuff that you were
telling me during demolition,

I've put together two options.

We definitely need avery
to pay attention,

because you're the one
who makes all the decisions

here, we know.

Yeah. Option one,

with so many great memories
in this house already,

you need a space
where you can continue

to make new ones
for decades to come.

Now that your living room
is open,

you'll be more connected
than ever.

I also know
that you love comfort,

so I'll add a large sectional
for lounging.

Since you're in need
of storage solutions,

your dining room will now
be the perfect place

to keep some of those
extra things tucked away

and you'll have a lot more room

for family dinners
or board games.

No more storage racks
in the kitchen

because now there will be
tons of cabinets

including a big island
with room for all of you.

I want your kitchen
to be a place

that inspires your cooking,
so adding sleek, new appliances

including a gas range
should do the trick.

It'll be a stunning place.

Sounds awesome.

You will literally
have storage for days.

-Priorities.
-Yes.

I love the idea
of the storage.

I really like that.

Option one comes in
at $142,000.

That's $8,000
below your max budget

and seven weeks to complete.

The bathroom,
is it included?

I forgot about the bathroom.

Yes, you would have
a transformed bathroom.

We don't want
something that's dated

and that you walk into
and you're like, "oh, no."

so, everything would be
beautiful and sleek.

Sounds promising. Would love
to hear option two, though.

I'm giving you the same kitchen,
same built-in dining area,

same beautiful
finishes throughout,

but you have that spare space

that's not being used
for anything at the moment.

So option two,

I'd make that back area function
for you and create a mud room.

My goal would be to free up
your entry from extra clutter

and help you stay organized,

which we know can be difficult
for busy family like yours.

That comes in at eight weeks
and it would cost $150,000.

That would max us out.

-Ooh.
-I can see avery

is not interested
because she's falling asleep.

What do you think?

I don't know.

Avery, if you had to choose

and you tell me
which option would you choose?

My floor plan.

Oh, just skip mine and go
straight to your floor plan?

Okay.
Who would want more storage?

Well, I would want more storage
for his and her things.

-Ah, so smart.
-But, I think we got to

keep the budget
a little bit lower.

We can probably do
some storage as needed.

I like the shorter
timeframe,

like a little bit more
than the storage.

Weighing back and forth,
I'm hearing that

timeline and budget
is very, very important.

-Yes.
-I do agree with you.

You could put storage in
at any time if you want.

Sometimes, it's nice
to get it all done now.

It's just dependent on what
you want to use it for.

What do you think?

Yeah, I think
option one.

-Okay.
-Amazing.

All right.
Well, we can definitely

make this place beautiful.

Keep in mind,
everything in this main area

will be exactly
the same gorgeous finishes.

You are going to love it.

Usually, we would actually
kick you guys out at this point,

but why don't we show you
the bathroom upstairs

that's torn apart, too?

-All right, I can't wait.
-Let's do it.

Too many holes for you to fall
in, so we're carrying you.

All right.
There we go.

-Watch your step.
-All right.

What do you think?

-This is crazy.
-It looks so different.

-Wow.
-It looks bigger.

We thought we'd leave the tub
in case you change your mind

and you wanted to keep it.

Eggshell blue, it's timeless.

It's robin's egg.

When you come back
to this house,

it's going to be all done.

Amazing.

Jonathan: Jeremy has moved
21 times in his life.

And I know he's happy here
putting down some roots.

But, what's even
more important to him

is given the stability of living
in one house to avery.

So now that we have
an official plan in place,

it's time to make it perfect.

Drew: The moment that
these posts come out,

it's going to feel
like a new space.

Oh, they're coming out
right now, too.

What a difference.

Some homeowners worry that all
their memories will be erased

when the walls come down.

That's why personalizing
the design

is always my secret weapon.

Take everything out,
put a few gems back.

you know that we can't do
flooring removal

without a little

You get to pick

I will pick this tool,

oh! Why am I getting stuck

that upstairs bathroom
might be small,

but it's a big job.

Kitchens and bathrooms
are where most of the time

and money go in a renovation.

But I know sam and avery
are really excited about this,

so it's worth it.

We want to make sure that

it still feels
more spacious.

I think having
brighter flooring,

brighter materials in here
are going to do that.

What do you want?
Do you want to work on the tub,

I'll do the tiles?

Sure thing.

[ saw whirring ]

it looks loose-ish.

I think age
is holding it in.

We actually had almost
that exact same tub.

Ours was green.

Greenish, whatever.

I like to pretend
that it was my racecar,

so I always had
the front driver's seat.

You can go
in the back seat.

Yeah, exactly.

And then, mom and dad
get the embarrassing photos

that they show
at weddings and birthdays.

Why do all parents do
the embarrassing tub photos?

I don't get that.

It's just something
they do.

Roco, we want to take
an embarrassing tub photo.

Don't ask questions.

yeah, that's perfect.
Thank you.

Oh, wow. And then,

so it doesn't
feel like a waste of time,

is this
a load bearing wall?

-It is.
-Okay, perfect.

-Perfect. Thank you.
-All right. Have a good day.

[ chuckles ]
thanks, buddy.

This bathroom was
totally dysfunctional.

Sam and avery need an escape,
an oasis for some alone time.

Growing up,
we had five people

sharing one bathroom,

and I couldn't
get into the bathroom,

because jonathan would
take three-hour showers.

Ah. It was so glorious.
And they were bubble baths.

You know, you work hard,

jonathan: One of our biggest
challenges was figuring out

where we could hide
those ducts.

And the good news is
there was enough room

to relocate them
around the post

that was holding up our beam.

So, we don't need
to fur out the wall

any further than planned.

And even better, sam and jeremy
will have their open concept

with minimal obstructions.

Jeremy, sam, and avery

are going to have this
amazing house totally updated.

But the problem is,
we have a lot of beam work,

duct work, everything that
has to be compensated for.

And we somehow have to work up
and make it look like

it was meant to be that way.

But once we get
all the cabinetry in here,

the new floors and everything,

this is going to be
that fantastic family home

that I know
avery will approve of.

♪♪

the beam actually
turned out pretty well.

Once we get it
mudded, painted,

you're not even going to
notice it's there.

Having it reset
was a big help.

Yeah. Boy.

So we have the mechanical
here that we have --

oh! What?!

We've got a visitor.
Meet me at the door.

[ laughs ]

what's happening?

Oh, hey.
Hey.

I thought we weren't supposed
to have anybody peeking.

What's going on here?

You want to see
what we're working on?

-Yes.
-Yeah.

Say, "hi, roco."

-hi, roco.
-Hi, avery.

Notice we've got the beam
all covered up.

-Hi, jeremy.
-Hey, roco.

What do you think?

I think it's much
more cleaner.

That's crazy
how wide open it is.

Exactly. I've got a little bit
of sweeping to do over here.

And I got a little --
oh, yeah.

Actually, you know
what we could do?

I could probably clean this up
by just wiping it off

on your shirt.
Is that...?

-No.
-No? You don't do that?

Oh, all right.

Is it frosting?

That is not frosting.

-No.
-It tastes like mud. Ugh.

But we want to get it
all nice and clean,

so that this just disappears.

One thing I will point out,
usually when anybody

walks on my site
and they've got a note pad,

it means they've got
a list.

-Do you have a list?
-Yes.

Shall we take a peek?
What do you got?

Avery's birthday,
I just learned,

is happening right around
the same time as the reveal.

So of course,
she has some requests.

Demands? Requests.

I want a rainbow wall.

Okay. Karaoke?

Hmm.

And a table for pizza.

-Oh, my gosh.
-I love the pizza idea actually.

Yeah. What's this one?

This one's a dance floor.

Dance floor?

She's got very
high expectations.

All right.
Let me take a look here.

So all this stuff, and you want
me to have it ready on time?

You know what?
I can do that.

Can I hold on
to this page?

-Yes.
-All right.

I've just been tasked
with even more work.

Although for avery,
it's no trouble.

This is her house, too,
and since there's so much

change happening,
this'll be the perfect way

to make sure she also
feels right at home.

Do you want to help
do a little more work?

Because you were
very helpful before.

Why don't we do
a little mudding?

Jeremy, you will be
the site supervisor.

All right.
I'll take notes.

Yeah. Exactly. I'm going
to get you to hold the bottom,

and we want to put it over
this line here. Go ahead.

And then I'm going to take it
all the way to the top.

Holy smokes, you're good.

All right. And you got a scoop
a bunch of mud on it like that.

If you put a little bit
on it sideways like this...

So give it a try.
Perfect. Just like that.

So if you go like this, pbbt!
More comes off like that.

I'm worried about
losing my job today.

You're doing great,
avery.

-Beautiful.
-My goodness.

She's literally
better than drew is.

So I like it.
Nice job.

So you know what's cool?
When the house is all done,

you'll remember that you did
this corner right here,

and you can tell
your friends.

Jonathan: Up in the bathroom,

there's a cinder block wall
that needs drywall.

But we can't just
attach the drywall

until we have
some wood strapping.

I always try to avoid
excess site waste.

So we're making
our own strapping

with an extra sheet of plywood.

Strapping is a good alternative
to a regular 2x4

because this is going
to give sam and avery

about three
extra inches of space.

And who doesn't want
more room in their bathroom?

But this is a bit
of a beast.

I hate strapping concrete.

It's not fun. And then sometimes
it just crumbles away, too.

But because the cinder block
is porous,

when you drill a hole,
sometimes the masonry crumbles,

and then you can't
screw anything into it.

Probably not going
to grab.

Roco shared an old-school
technique

with me that
his father showed him.

You place a piece of copper wire
in the drilled hole.

Because the copper is soft,

it hugs the nail
for a tight fit.

I like that sound.
Hearing the nail grip.

Where'd you get
the hammer?

It's my dad's hammer,
actually.

-Is it?
-Yeah.

For real?
He just refuses
to get a good one.

Well, now I feel bad for
making fun of your dad's hammer.

-It's a terrible hammer.
-It is.

It looks like one for putting
up pictures or something.
Yeah.

Roco's family has been
passing down tips and hammers

through the generations,
so I feel lucky to be included.

And also it's nice to learn
little tricks of the trade.

♪♪

♪♪

we've picked out this beautiful
wide plank floor

for sam and jeremy.

They loved this style
at the inspiration tour,

but wanted a subtle grain.

So, that's exactly
what we're giving them.

It's a classic finish
and a modern style

that will deliver
a fresh farmhouse feel.

That's what they wanted.

Before we go and tile
the bathroom floor,

I always put down a sub layer
of membrane first.

It reduces movement, which can
cause cracks in the tile,

and it stops any water
from escaping.

With the hardwood in place,

we can start getting
our finishes in

and turn this chaos
back into a home again.

The kitchen cabinets
look amazing.

And just as planned,
the space is so bright and open,

that the gray
doesn't feel dark at all.

I think this is the last
of the drawers for the island.

Which by the way,
I'd like to point out,

avery request number six,
island.

Check.

Oh, wait.
Number two, karaoke?

These are all the things
that she wants on there.

I am going to give her
a rainbow wall.

She also wants a throne
for the birthday princess.

This is the most
important one --

"number 10, ready on time."

she even punctuated
with an explosion.

So we have to
get it done on time.

I often think about
how most people in the world,

they don't have to share
a birthday with someone.

Well, technically I had
four minutes alone

on our actual birthday,
before you came along.

So I know what it's like.

Well, it's not exactly
what I was talking about,

but we always do have fun
with everything we do.

Because there's two of us,

I feel like we've become
party experts over the years.

So why don't we take
our combined talents

and throw avery a birthday
to remember?

Done.

Sam and jeremy need
all kinds of storage.

And even though they didn't
add the mudroom,

there's still going to be a ton
of options here in the kitchen.

Upstairs, we went with
a bold tile for the bathroom.

I love how fun it is,
and of course durable,

because one day, it will need
to stand up to a teenage avery.

I found a great vanity,
and since we need to find

savings to pay
for that beam overage,

I thought we forget
going custom here,

and we go with
something off the shelf.

Great.
Yes.

However, there is
one tiny drawback.

And that's that there is
some assembly required.

All right. What do we got?
It's 25 1/2.

Do you know they use
some of these furniture pieces

as couple's therapy?

If you can assemble
furniture together,

you can live together.

Listen, I'm not so sure
three guys in one little room

building furniture,
is such a great idea.

No. That's
the beauty of it.

That's what makes this
a test of our bond.

This is like
team building.

You know there's a reason why
we don't live together anymore.

[ laughs ]

is it going to the big hole
or the little hole?

Little hole.

Yeah. That guy.

On this one, am I doing these
in the middle, as well?

No, to the outside.

So I think those
are the sides.

Is it possible that this is
the drawer that I'm looking for?

That's the side.

[ indistinct conversation ]

that's the big drawer.

You're handing me
the wrong parts.

You took it.
I didn't hand it.

By show of hands,
who thinks drew

is not contributing enough
right now?

-What?! Listen...
-[ laughs ]

okay, my part's ready.

I'd like to get one drawer
assembled.

Which is the base,
and which is the back for this?

-That's my back, right?
-Yeah.

-Okay, do you screw it in?
-Boom.

-One down.
-Three more to go.

You know what this means?

We got through one drawer,
and nobody's fighting.

Our relationship is going to
a whole new level.

sam and jeremy will have
of their new home.

Walking in that front door
was so dark and gloomy.

There's really nothing
more relaxing

day's work to a beautiful space.

Do you want --

a little higher.

Just with the color change,

it'll modernize it
without us having to redo

all the work.

Yeah.

What's your final color
for this?

We're going to put a runner
back on, like a nice runner.

So we keep it nice

Could technically make
the rails treads darker,

and then go light
on the risers.

That would look nice, too.
Maybe a dark rail.

done with this family in mind,

so that when they come home,

they don't feel like strangers

one of the biggest requests
from this family

was to have an open concept

and the ability to enjoy
each other's company

no matter where they are
in the house.

Yeah. Maybe jeremy's cooking
while sam's lounging.

And avery is hanging out
at the table,

drawing up some floor plans
for grandma's house.

I think we've pulled
that off beautifully.

I don't know who had
more must-haves --

avery, or jeremy and sam.

Well, one of the big must-haves,
was a big sectional

so the whole family
can just cuddle up

and hang out together.
And they got that.

No kid has ever done
a before and an after for me.

Hold on one second.
Let me just check.

Okay. Yeah.
Sectionals in the right spot.

I think everything's
looking good.

The stairs are over
on that side.

Okay. We're good.

It's even to scale.

[ laughs ]

sam and jeremy had
a max budget of $150,000.

They liked option one, which
gave them an open main floor,

and an updated bathroom,

but excluded
the back storage area.

They chose it
for its shorter timeline,

and the lower price
of $142,000.

We did have the beam
that cost an extra $3,000.

But in the end, we stuck
to some budget friendly pieces,

to keep this project
right on target.

So, the girls now have tons
of storage.

They have two sinks.

Do you want to test the tab,

to see if it can take
a jeremy size?

I know jeremy is not allowed
to use this tub,

but if he had to,
it's the perfect depth.

It is. And now that you're

you can adjust the height.

This has been
a lifelong dream.

Any house I've ever lived
in ever had a gas stove and...

Then, the vent hood too,
nice and sleek and stylish.

Beautiful. I don't know
if it's the same.

It looks the same
as the flooring.

It blends right into -- ties it
all together really nicely.
