There is no project that is
more emotionally charged
2
00:00:05,239 --> 00:00:07,906
than doing a family's
vacation home.
3
00:00:07,908 --> 00:00:10,409
These places come with
long-held traditions
4
00:00:10,411 --> 00:00:13,379
and big expectations
that can be hard to manage,
5
00:00:13,381 --> 00:00:15,748
especially when the family
is your own.

TERRY: I'm capturing this
for our family video.
7
00:00:18,819 --> 00:00:22,054
So here I am out in the country
dealing with the trees...
8
00:00:22,056 --> 00:00:24,256
Let's just make sure
it's the right color.

...weather...
10
00:00:25,326 --> 00:00:26,992
That can cause
a lot of delays.

NORMAN:
I don't see the windows.
13

...and my sister's
champagne taste.

00:00:32,333 --> 00:00:34,767
Working with family's the best.
15
00:00:34,769 --> 00:00:36,402
My name is Danielle Bryk.
16
00:00:36,404 --> 00:00:38,370
I'm a designer and a renovator,
17
00:00:38,372 --> 00:00:41,407
and this is the story
of my lakeside build.

¶¶
19
00:00:45,846 --> 00:00:48,113
There's only about
six weeks to go
20
00:00:48,115 --> 00:00:50,649
before our family reunion
at the lake house.
21
00:00:50,651 --> 00:00:52,951
My sister Terry
and her husband Norman
22
00:00:52,953 --> 00:00:55,220
really want it finished
by the holidays,
23
00:00:55,222 --> 00:00:59,892
but I have not
been up as much lately.
24
00:00:59,894 --> 00:01:03,362
I've been kind of MIA,
but there's just a lot going on.
25
00:01:03,364 --> 00:01:05,864
There's a lot of decisions
that need to be made.
26
00:01:05,866 --> 00:01:07,699
I just need to know --
this is the color
27
00:01:07,701 --> 00:01:10,335
that I was saying
is a little bit warmer.
28
00:01:10,337 --> 00:01:12,671
I think Norman will
like it better.
29
00:01:12,673 --> 00:01:15,074
This one goes all the way down
and matches this flooring.
30
00:01:15,076 --> 00:01:17,309
We can't make them ourselves,
really, you know,
31
00:01:17,311 --> 00:01:19,311
because it's their house,
their taste.
32
00:01:19,313 --> 00:01:22,548
There's paint colors,
tiles, flooring.
33
00:01:22,550 --> 00:01:24,316
I'd like to see them soon.
34
00:01:24,318 --> 00:01:25,751
This is when I need you.
35
00:01:25,753 --> 00:01:27,719
I don't need you when we're
framing the place,
36
00:01:27,721 --> 00:01:29,855
but I need you now.
37
00:01:29,857 --> 00:01:32,558
DANIELLE: I cannot believe how
quickly the weather has turned,
38
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,361
and that can cause a lot
of delays with deliveries,
39
00:01:36,363 --> 00:01:37,930
with construction.

[ Turn signal clicking ]

00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,568
Oh! That must be the tiles!

¶¶
43
00:01:48,109 --> 00:01:51,243
It's cold, it's wet,
and the poor delivery guy
44
00:01:51,245 --> 00:01:54,446
shows up with a broken wrist.
45
00:01:54,448 --> 00:01:56,482
DANIELLE:
Jim saves the day.
46
00:01:59,253 --> 00:02:00,752
Okay, wait, wait.
47
00:02:00,754 --> 00:02:04,356
After all of this, let's just
make sure it's the right color.
48
00:02:06,861 --> 00:02:08,127
Is it all right?
49
00:02:08,129 --> 00:02:11,096
Yeah, yeah.
50
00:02:11,098 --> 00:02:12,764
No, that's it.
51
00:02:12,766 --> 00:02:14,566
Good. Okay.
[ Laughs ]
52
00:02:14,568 --> 00:02:16,969
These boxes are
really wet.
53
00:02:16,971 --> 00:02:18,670
DANIELLE:
Who's doing the tiling?
54
00:02:18,672 --> 00:02:21,540
'Cause don't show them
all these boxes of mosaics
55
00:02:21,542 --> 00:02:22,808
'cause they'll run away.
56
00:02:22,810 --> 00:02:24,676
JIM: Danielle -- she hopped up
in the truck,
57
00:02:24,678 --> 00:02:27,513
and it was all falling apart,
but she did a good job.
58
00:02:27,515 --> 00:02:29,047
She's strong. [ Laughs ]
59
00:02:29,049 --> 00:02:31,250
I'm stronger than I look.
I told you.
60
00:02:31,252 --> 00:02:33,619
The boxes are breaking
61
00:02:33,621 --> 00:02:35,621
because they're soaking wet
on the bottom,
62
00:02:35,623 --> 00:02:38,891
so they're, like,
literally falling apart.
63
00:02:38,893 --> 00:02:40,459
Oh, my God.
64
00:02:40,461 --> 00:02:43,128
We've got tile in the woods.
65
00:02:43,130 --> 00:02:46,165
Like, oh, boy.
Look at this.
66
00:02:46,167 --> 00:02:48,267
This is what
site supervision is,
67
00:02:48,269 --> 00:02:53,805
and this is exactly the [bleep]
that would drive my sister nuts.
68
00:02:53,807 --> 00:02:56,275
And of course, here comes
another load of drywall
69
00:02:56,277 --> 00:02:59,244

JIM: Tom,
where you want 'em?
72
00:03:04,485 --> 00:03:06,518
Have you got someone
to do these tiles,
73
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,454
or what's going on
with the tiles?
74
00:03:09,456 --> 00:03:11,924
To lay the floor tiles?
Yeah.
75
00:03:11,926 --> 00:03:14,393
Uh, no.
76
00:03:14,395 --> 00:03:16,662
I'm really starting
to feel the pressure,
77
00:03:16,664 --> 00:03:19,131
both about the budget
and the timeline.
78
00:03:19,133 --> 00:03:23,535
And I'm just gonna have to start
making decisions by myself.
79
00:03:23,537 --> 00:03:26,205
This is the second delivery,
80
00:03:26,207 --> 00:03:29,508
I think, at least,
of drywall for this house.
81
00:03:29,510 --> 00:03:32,277
[ Sighs ]
It's unbelievable.
82
00:03:34,648 --> 00:03:36,682
I feel like
I have just run a marathon,
83
00:03:36,684 --> 00:03:38,016
and I'm not even
the one carrying
84
00:03:38,018 --> 00:03:42,254
the 12-foot drywall boards in.
85
00:03:42,256 --> 00:03:44,523
We have drywalled
most of the space,
86
00:03:44,525 --> 00:03:47,826
but there's still some to go,
but we're ready for floors.
87
00:03:47,828 --> 00:03:49,461
We're ready for
the interior doors.
88
00:03:49,463 --> 00:03:53,398
And we're ready to start
tackling those tiny mosaic tiles
89
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,736
that everybody
cannot wait to work with.
90
00:03:57,738 --> 00:04:01,506
The idea is that the floor
and the walls all are tiled.
91
00:04:01,508 --> 00:04:02,574
The walls, too?
92
00:04:02,576 --> 00:04:03,942
The walls, too --
all of them,
93
00:04:03,944 --> 00:04:05,010
but not the ceiling.
94
00:04:05,012 --> 00:04:06,511
What about
the window ledges?
95
00:04:06,513 --> 00:04:10,282
Can we do a
thin wood jam or not?
96
00:04:10,284 --> 00:04:12,451
Well, we haven't got much
clearance on those windows.
97
00:04:12,453 --> 00:04:14,720
You know what? Let's just
paint this black, then.
98
00:04:14,722 --> 00:04:16,355
Yeah, you're
gonna have to.
99
00:04:16,357 --> 00:04:18,690
You don't want this
window crank hitting it.
100
00:04:18,692 --> 00:04:19,992
Okay, let's --
101
00:04:19,994 --> 00:04:22,261
Ron's got that
epoxy paint, too.
102
00:04:22,263 --> 00:04:23,362
Yeah.
It's great for those.
103
00:04:23,364 --> 00:04:24,696
It's totally fine.
104
00:04:24,698 --> 00:04:26,131
This is not gonna
have any water.
105
00:04:26,133 --> 00:04:29,268
The shower is all over there.
Plus, there's a glass panel.
106
00:04:29,270 --> 00:04:31,937
The hardest thing with this tile
is gonna be cutting it,
107
00:04:31,939 --> 00:04:33,805
especially these angles.
108
00:04:33,807 --> 00:04:37,743
I do feel you on the angles.
I know. I know.
109
00:04:37,745 --> 00:04:39,778
So I'm wondering if we can
110
00:04:39,780 --> 00:04:43,215
maybe go up to that corner
and cut a straight line.
111
00:04:43,217 --> 00:04:45,917
Well, even -- yeah,
or if we can get an edging.
112
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:47,352
an edging to fit in there
113
00:04:47,354 --> 00:04:49,488
so these tiles kind of
fit up into it.
114
00:04:49,490 --> 00:04:50,989
A little black edging...
Yep.
115
00:04:50,991 --> 00:04:52,724
...I think would be
perfect.
116
00:04:52,726 --> 00:04:55,294
And it'll save
a lot of time.
Okay.
117
00:04:55,296 --> 00:04:58,230
It'll hide any
imperfections in the cuts.
118
00:04:58,232 --> 00:04:59,898
I'm all for that.
All righty.
119
00:04:59,900 --> 00:05:01,500
Save time and grief.
120
00:05:01,502 --> 00:05:03,134
Time and grief, yeah.

[ Sighs ]
127
00:05:21,822 --> 00:05:25,924
So many decisions.
128
00:05:25,926 --> 00:05:29,828
So, I need to settle
on the hardwood floors
129
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:33,732
because Terry sometimes
has trouble making decisions.
130
00:05:33,734 --> 00:05:37,436
TERRY: Is raw concrete gonna --
you know, with patina,
131
00:05:37,438 --> 00:05:40,339
it's gonna be darker,
is it not?
132
00:05:40,341 --> 00:05:43,208
Because I'm gonna cry
if that's what we're getting.
133
00:05:43,210 --> 00:05:45,477
DANIELLE: No, obviously,
we don't want you to get
134
00:05:45,479 --> 00:05:47,245
something that
makes you cry.
135
00:05:47,247 --> 00:05:49,247
We need to get on this.
136
00:05:49,249 --> 00:05:53,919
I have tried to shop with Terry,
and she -- you know,
137
00:05:53,921 --> 00:05:56,888
she sometimes has trouble
making a decision.
138
00:05:56,890 --> 00:05:59,591
Knowing that you're gonna
use an engineered floor,
139
00:05:59,593 --> 00:06:00,959
we need to know the width.
140
00:06:00,961 --> 00:06:02,227
Do you prefer --
Oh, my God.
141
00:06:02,229 --> 00:06:04,162
What is an
engineered floor, again?
142
00:06:04,164 --> 00:06:07,065
This is -- Oh.
Because with a wide plank --
143
00:06:07,067 --> 00:06:08,934
Is it real?
So it's real?
144
00:06:08,936 --> 00:06:10,902
It's real wood?
Yes, it's real.
145
00:06:10,904 --> 00:06:14,005
Terry probably doesn't
understand, or care,
146
00:06:14,007 --> 00:06:15,340
for that matter, [Laughs]
147
00:06:15,342 --> 00:06:18,243
that solid wood
can expand and contract.
148
00:06:18,245 --> 00:06:21,046
And because the house
is so close to the lake,
149
00:06:21,048 --> 00:06:23,615
I mean, honestly,
this is the last thing
150
00:06:23,617 --> 00:06:26,351
they need to worry about,
is buckled floors.
151
00:06:26,353 --> 00:06:29,488
Engineered floors
are still real hardwood.
152
00:06:29,490 --> 00:06:31,957
They've just been
manufactured in a way
153
00:06:31,959 --> 00:06:34,726
that makes them resistant
to expansion and contraction.
154
00:06:34,728 --> 00:06:36,962
So there's a lot of
different layers,
155
00:06:36,964 --> 00:06:41,266
cross-layers of the wood as
a base that are glued together.
156
00:06:41,268 --> 00:06:44,569
And then you've got a nice,
thick veneer of solid hardwood
157
00:06:44,571 --> 00:06:45,837
that even if it's thick enough,
158
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,173
you can sand them down again
a couple of times.
159
00:06:48,175 --> 00:06:50,442
I know she wants hardwood,
but we have to go with
160
00:06:50,444 --> 00:06:52,911
engineered in this situation
'cause there's humidity,
161
00:06:52,913 --> 00:06:56,481
there's gonna be water,
and she wants those wide planks.
162
00:06:56,483 --> 00:06:59,718
There are a ton of people
that use the lake house,
163
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,920
so summertime, wintertime.
164
00:07:01,922 --> 00:07:06,324
There are sand, sleet, snow,
[Laughs] water.
165
00:07:06,326 --> 00:07:09,494
These floors are going to
take a beating.
166
00:07:09,496 --> 00:07:11,763
Terry needs to trust me on this.
167
00:07:11,765 --> 00:07:13,832
I'm just gonna make the call
and go with engineered,
168
00:07:13,834 --> 00:07:17,269
and I just have to pick
the color.
169
00:07:17,271 --> 00:07:21,273
The trouble is, Terry likes
that very whitewashed look
170
00:07:21,275 --> 00:07:26,912
and Norman does not
want white, so...
171
00:07:26,914 --> 00:07:28,713
Look at all the samples.
172
00:07:28,715 --> 00:07:30,615
And what color
do you like?
173
00:07:30,617 --> 00:07:32,517
This one.
174
00:07:32,519 --> 00:07:34,252
That's too --
This is the one --
175
00:07:34,254 --> 00:07:36,521
This is the first one!
176
00:07:36,523 --> 00:07:38,957
Is it? How do you know?
You are a crazy woman.
177
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:40,225
I don't know.
178
00:07:40,227 --> 00:07:41,693
[ Inhales sharply ]
Oh, my gosh.
179
00:07:41,695 --> 00:07:44,696
It's a huge decision, too,
'cause it's like everything.
180
00:07:44,698 --> 00:07:47,399
[ Chuckles ] I mean,
it's honestly everything.
181
00:07:47,401 --> 00:07:49,067
Hmm...
182
00:07:49,069 --> 00:07:54,272
Actually, I kind of like
this one because it's got --
183
00:07:54,274 --> 00:07:55,707
Like, it's light,
184
00:07:55,709 --> 00:07:59,377
but it's got all those rustic
saw marks and stuff in it.
185
00:07:59,379 --> 00:08:02,280
[ Exhales ]
186
00:08:02,282 --> 00:08:05,183
You know what? I'm not gonna
throw this back to Terry.
187
00:08:05,185 --> 00:08:06,585
I'm picking this one.
188
00:08:06,587 --> 00:08:08,053
I'm making a decision.
189
00:08:08,055 --> 00:08:09,221
I'm gonna let Jim know
190
00:08:09,223 --> 00:08:13,058
because we need
to get this ordered ASAP.
191
00:08:13,060 --> 00:08:15,660
¶¶
192
00:08:15,662 --> 00:08:17,829
The floors are one of the most
expensive finishes
193
00:08:17,831 --> 00:08:20,432
in the whole house
because there's so much of it.
194
00:08:20,434 --> 00:08:24,769
And so we've got one chance
to install this properly,
195
00:08:24,771 --> 00:08:28,139
especially with this drywall
reveal that we're doing.
196
00:08:28,141 --> 00:08:29,975
It's very finicky.
197
00:08:32,012 --> 00:08:34,479
All right.
198
00:08:34,481 --> 00:08:38,850
Just want to see this for myself
[Laughs] 'cause I'm stubborn.
199
00:08:38,852 --> 00:08:41,019
I want to make sure.
Yeah, this fits beautifully.
200
00:08:41,021 --> 00:08:45,557
So, this is that drywall reveal
that has been such a big pain
201
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,893
in everybody's bum.
[ Laughs ]
202
00:08:47,895 --> 00:08:49,861
We didn't want to do baseboard.
203
00:08:49,863 --> 00:08:52,163
We wanted that very modern look
to make it look like it
204
00:08:52,165 --> 00:08:54,432
went all the way down,
but we need to leave
205
00:08:54,434 --> 00:08:57,068
a little bit of expansion space
for this hardwood
206
00:08:57,070 --> 00:09:00,438
in case it expands
in the summer or whatever.
207
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,341
And in order to not see
a space between the wall
208
00:09:03,343 --> 00:09:05,744
and the hardwood,
we've got this trim detail.
209
00:09:05,746 --> 00:09:07,879
So this is gonna fit underneath.
210
00:09:07,881 --> 00:09:10,582
We're probably gonna paint
that bottom part,
211
00:09:10,584 --> 00:09:12,250
like, a color
to match the floor,
212
00:09:12,252 --> 00:09:16,855
but it's just gonna be
that very seamless, modern look.
213
00:09:16,857 --> 00:09:20,425
I will say, I think it
was worth -- [ Laughs ]
214
00:09:20,427 --> 00:09:21,893
I think it was worth it.
215

¶¶
218
00:09:28,635 --> 00:09:31,636
To be honest,
I was very nervous
219
00:09:31,638 --> 00:09:34,673
when Terry and Norman asked me
to manage this project.
220
00:09:34,675 --> 00:09:37,175
I mean, they are my family.
221
00:09:37,177 --> 00:09:39,811
The stakes are huge.
This is their dream.
222
00:09:39,813 --> 00:09:41,947
So it's a lot to manage.
223
00:09:41,949 --> 00:09:45,183
But Terry's been, you know,
with me the whole way.
224
00:09:45,185 --> 00:09:46,818
She's been so supportive.
225
00:09:46,820 --> 00:09:48,920
She's, like,
getting in there with me,
226
00:09:48,922 --> 00:09:50,655
getting her hands dirty.
227
00:09:50,657 --> 00:09:57,929
But something has happened now,
and it could change everything.
228
00:09:57,931 --> 00:10:00,832
Terry's -- she was
hospitalized last week
229
00:10:00,834 --> 00:10:03,602
for what we thought
was a stroke.

¶¶
231
00:10:10,711 --> 00:10:12,844
DANIELLE: Hey, Jim.
232
00:10:12,846 --> 00:10:14,579
Hi, Danielle.
How are you?
233
00:10:14,581 --> 00:10:16,114
Oh, my gosh.
234
00:10:16,116 --> 00:10:21,353
So, just a couple of things
that we're dealing with.
235
00:10:21,355 --> 00:10:25,223
Terry's -- I don't know if you
knew she had some health issues,
236
00:10:25,225 --> 00:10:27,158
like off and on.
237
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,328
I heard her mention something
about tests one day.
238
00:10:30,330 --> 00:10:34,332
Yeah. So, she was hospitalized
last week for almost a week.
239
00:10:34,334 --> 00:10:36,334
Oh, I didn't know.
Yeah.
240
00:10:36,336 --> 00:10:40,472
With what we thought
was a stroke.
241
00:10:40,474 --> 00:10:44,643
So, I got a call
first thing in the morning.
242
00:10:44,645 --> 00:10:47,012
I was literally just getting out
of bed, and it was Terry,
243
00:10:47,014 --> 00:10:48,413
and I knew something was wrong
244
00:10:48,415 --> 00:10:50,582
'cause she never
calls me that early,
245
00:10:50,584 --> 00:10:55,253
and she could barely speak.
246
00:10:55,255 --> 00:10:56,588
And I knew.
247
00:10:56,590 --> 00:11:00,625
I just hung up the phone,
called 911, ran over there.
248
00:11:00,627 --> 00:11:03,762
And by the time I got there,
the ambulance was coming,
249
00:11:03,764 --> 00:11:05,597
and we took her
into the hospital,
250
00:11:05,599 --> 00:11:08,233
and she stayed
for almost a week.
251
00:11:08,235 --> 00:11:12,370
And her son, Noah, is the one
who was with her that morning.
252
00:11:12,372 --> 00:11:17,308
And so, you know, it was --
it was terrifying for him.
253
00:11:17,310 --> 00:11:18,810
We don't know what it is.
254
00:11:18,812 --> 00:11:22,113
It turns out, the scans showed
it was not a stroke,
255
00:11:22,115 --> 00:11:24,349
but we're still trying
to figure out what's going on.
256
00:11:24,351 --> 00:11:27,185
She probably doesn't need
the stress of this.
257
00:11:27,187 --> 00:11:28,486
Exactly. I know.
258
00:11:28,488 --> 00:11:30,655
That's why I'm trying
to take over everything
259
00:11:30,657 --> 00:11:33,825
and just, like, try
to smooth it all over.
260
00:11:33,827 --> 00:11:36,361
We just really want to get
this done for them.
261
00:11:36,363 --> 00:11:39,497
She has been having health
issues for over 10 years now,
262
00:11:39,499 --> 00:11:41,666
but they're getting worse
and worse.
263
00:11:41,668 --> 00:11:43,935
The episodes are happening
closer and closer together.
264
00:11:43,937 --> 00:11:45,303
And this has never happened.
265
00:11:45,305 --> 00:11:46,504
How is Norman?
266
00:11:46,506 --> 00:11:47,872
DANIELLE:
Well... [ Sighs ]
267
00:11:47,874 --> 00:11:51,476
I think he's stressed beyond
belief because he's got to be,
268
00:11:51,478 --> 00:11:53,178
you know, on the
other side of the world
269
00:11:53,180 --> 00:11:56,147
and yet, you know,
wants to be here.
270
00:11:56,149 --> 00:11:58,349
So it's been really tough.
271
00:11:58,351 --> 00:12:01,086
He called me the other day,
but he didn't tell me that.
272
00:12:01,088 --> 00:12:02,187
I didn't know.
273
00:12:02,189 --> 00:12:04,122
Yeah, yeah, he was here.
I didn't have a clue.
274
00:12:04,124 --> 00:12:07,492
The entire family is planning
to come for the holidays
275
00:12:07,494 --> 00:12:10,261
and, you know,
it would be great to just
276
00:12:10,263 --> 00:12:13,932
have it somewhat finished
so we could all just be together
277
00:12:13,934 --> 00:12:16,568
'cause, really,
that's what it --
278
00:12:16,570 --> 00:12:17,936
it's the only thing
that matters.

If there's anything
I can do to...

Thank you so much, Jim.
You've been amazing.
We're all here for you.

Honestly, like, it's good.
No. And they feel in good hands.
282
00:12:26,947 --> 00:12:28,613
So just wanted
to let you know.
283
00:12:28,615 --> 00:12:31,449
Health is an important thing.
It's the most important thing.
284
00:12:31,451 --> 00:12:32,784
It's the only thing,
right?
285
00:12:32,786 --> 00:12:34,419
That's right.
I know.
286
00:12:34,421 --> 00:12:36,154
Nothing else
really matters.
287
00:12:36,156 --> 00:12:37,288
We'll get it done.
288
00:12:37,290 --> 00:12:39,257
It's weird because
she's my big sister,
289
00:12:39,259 --> 00:12:42,026
so she takes care of everybody.
290
00:12:42,028 --> 00:12:44,162

actually.

With everything that's been
going on with Terri,
294
00:12:54,107 --> 00:12:57,342
I am a little bit behind
in everything that I need to do
295
00:12:57,344 --> 00:12:59,677
to finish this up,
but I am more motivated
296
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:04,382
than ever to finish this
exactly as Terri wants,
297
00:13:04,384 --> 00:13:08,219
modern with clean lines
and an industrial flair,
298

Norman's homecoming

Wow! Hello.
301
00:13:15,862 --> 00:13:19,597
This is really good news
that this floor is going in.
302
00:13:19,599 --> 00:13:20,899
It looks fantastic.
303
00:13:20,901 --> 00:13:23,735
And how long do you think
the job is gonna take?
304
00:13:23,737 --> 00:13:27,472
Well, you're looking at
approximately 1,000 square feet,
305
00:13:27,474 --> 00:13:30,108
so three to four days.
306
00:13:30,110 --> 00:13:31,376
Well, I'm gonna
leave you to it.
307
00:13:31,378 --> 00:13:32,577
I know there's
a lot of work to do.
308
00:13:32,579 --> 00:13:34,412
And now that I know
that it's in good hands,
309
00:13:34,414 --> 00:13:37,315
I'm just -- I can't wait
to see the finished product.

¶¶
311
00:13:41,054 --> 00:13:43,688
CRAIG: We've scraped the floor
to get any plaster or glue
312
00:13:43,690 --> 00:13:45,924
or any debris
that's stuck to it.
313
00:13:45,926 --> 00:13:49,561
And then Anthony sunk all the
nails down along all the joints,
314
00:13:49,563 --> 00:13:52,664
and we planed
all the plywood joints
315
00:13:52,666 --> 00:13:54,065
because due to the floors
316
00:13:54,067 --> 00:13:55,500
getting rained on
when the house was building,
317
00:13:55,502 --> 00:13:57,902
sometimes what happens
is they will peak.
318
00:13:57,904 --> 00:14:00,205
It's a lot of hours of prep,
but once it's done,

Dust everywhere.
These doors are so beautiful.
326
00:14:22,462 --> 00:14:26,431
I pushed Terry to go for
the solid-wood interior doors.
327
00:14:26,433 --> 00:14:28,299
I mean, yes,
they're more expensive,
328
00:14:28,301 --> 00:14:31,903
but they are totally in keeping
with the ethos of this place
329
00:14:31,905 --> 00:14:34,772
and with passive house.
330
00:14:34,774 --> 00:14:36,474
The whole idea
behind passive house
331
00:14:36,476 --> 00:14:39,010
is super energy efficiency
332
00:14:39,012 --> 00:14:42,380
and using materials
that do not conduct the cold.
333
00:14:42,382 --> 00:14:44,782
Besides, they're so pretty.
[ Laughs ]
334
00:14:44,784 --> 00:14:46,618
And they feel so good!
335
00:14:46,620 --> 00:14:47,952
And they're gonna make
Norman happy
336
00:14:47,954 --> 00:14:51,389
because they are gonna
warm up this big, white box.
337
00:14:51,391 --> 00:14:54,492
And I haven't even
bothered Terry with
338
00:14:54,494 --> 00:14:57,762
all of these decisions
like stain color and stuff,
339
00:14:57,764 --> 00:15:00,565
because I just don't
want her to --
340
00:15:00,567 --> 00:15:02,100
I don't want her to worry
about anything.
341
00:15:02,102 --> 00:15:03,835
I just want to take care
of everything.
342
00:15:03,837 --> 00:15:06,905

So I just want
to take care of it.
345
00:15:11,177 --> 00:15:15,313
So, I decided to go
with a dark-gray stain.
346
00:15:15,315 --> 00:15:17,582
I know it's still gonna read
kind of brown
347
00:15:17,584 --> 00:15:20,551
because mahogany is very,
very warm,
348
00:15:20,553 --> 00:15:21,886
but it's important
349
00:15:21,888 --> 00:15:26,291
it doesn't clash
with the whitewashed floors.
350
00:15:26,293 --> 00:15:28,026
And I just thought
if we painted these,
351
00:15:28,028 --> 00:15:29,861
it would just be
too cold in here.

this lake house up.
353

This particular stain
has no VOC.

00:15:36,536 --> 00:15:37,769
It's all-natural.

That looks nice.
356
00:15:39,372 --> 00:15:42,240
I actually prefer
to put stain on with a brush,
357
00:15:42,242 --> 00:15:45,176
but this stain is so thick
that it almost needs
358
00:15:45,178 --> 00:15:48,479
to soak into this applicator.

that doing something like this

that you don't necessarily need

And instead, you have
a heat-recovery ventilator,

from the stale air.

You're drilling
at an angle.

I know. I'm doing it
on purpose.
866
00:38:32,577 --> 00:38:34,311
If you go for a look
one more time...
867
00:38:34,313 --> 00:38:35,945
[ Laughs ]
...I'm just gonna drop it.
868
00:38:35,947 --> 00:38:37,781
Are we gonna keep it here,
or is this all for naught?
869
00:38:37,783 --> 00:38:38,982
Pardon me?

Are we gonna keep it here,
or is this all for naught?
871
00:38:41,787 --> 00:38:43,486
I don't know yet.
Do we need to know the answer?
872
00:38:43,488 --> 00:38:46,022
Are you literally just
drilling these in so you
can go get a look?
873
00:38:46,024 --> 00:38:47,891
Without me holding it?
874
00:38:47,893 --> 00:38:49,826
A little bit.
Oh, my God.
875
00:38:49,828 --> 00:38:51,461
Okay, don't move.
876
00:38:51,463 --> 00:38:53,129
I -- Okay.
877
00:38:53,131 --> 00:38:55,932
You know what? They say
never work with family.
878
00:38:55,934 --> 00:38:57,367
I wonder why.
Wonder why.
879
00:38:57,369 --> 00:38:59,269
[ Drill whirring ]
880
00:38:59,271 --> 00:39:01,905
Yeah. I would do more
on that side.
881
00:39:01,907 --> 00:39:04,007
No, it's fine
to get a look.
Can I let go?
882
00:39:04,009 --> 00:39:05,175
Yeah.
Yeah, that's good.
883
00:39:05,177 --> 00:39:07,977
It wants to be the
same height as the door.
884
00:39:07,979 --> 00:39:10,380
It just looks high.
885
00:39:10,382 --> 00:39:12,582
I think it looks a little --
even though it's centered,
886
00:39:12,584 --> 00:39:14,984
I feel like it looks a little
too tight to the door.
887
00:39:14,986 --> 00:39:16,119
What do you think?
888
00:39:16,121 --> 00:39:18,288
I think we should
leave it where it is.
889
00:39:18,290 --> 00:39:20,990
I can't trust your opinions
now on anything.
890
00:39:20,992 --> 00:39:23,993
So, you have to envision it all
stacked with this cool wood.
891
00:39:23,995 --> 00:39:26,730
That might look
awesome, right?
892
00:39:26,732 --> 00:39:28,298
[ Chuckling ]
With cool wood?
893
00:39:28,300 --> 00:39:29,699
Yeah.
894
00:39:29,701 --> 00:39:32,035
You don't get it, do you?
No.
895
00:39:32,037 --> 00:39:33,737
You don't think wood
looks cool?
896
00:39:33,739 --> 00:39:36,573
This, like, amazing
stack of wood.
897
00:39:36,575 --> 00:39:38,875
It's like
this idea of abundance.
898
00:39:38,877 --> 00:39:40,343
You know, like...

00:39:40,345 --> 00:39:41,978
[ Clicks tongue ]
900
00:39:41,980 --> 00:39:44,114
Good Lord.
901
00:39:44,116 --> 00:39:45,815
Oh, I do like
the wood in there.
902
00:39:45,817 --> 00:39:47,417
Yeah. You know what?
It's good right where it is.
903
00:39:47,419 --> 00:39:48,451
Yeah. No.
904
00:39:48,453 --> 00:39:50,553
I think we pull it out,
905
00:39:50,555 --> 00:39:54,624
like, this way just to give it
a tiny bit more breathing room.
906
00:39:54,626 --> 00:39:56,993
And I think it's good.
What do you think?

Yeah. Let's do it.

Let's take a picture
and send it to Terry.

I really like this,
'cause you know why?
Why?
916
00:40:16,214 --> 00:40:18,047
That's, like,
all one kind of wood,
917
00:40:18,049 --> 00:40:19,616
and the door is a
different kind of wood.
918
00:40:19,618 --> 00:40:21,017
The ceiling is a
different kind of wood.
919
00:40:21,019 --> 00:40:22,452
The ceiling's gonna be
a different color?
920
00:40:22,454 --> 00:40:25,054
Yeah, so all of these
different wood tones
921
00:40:25,056 --> 00:40:29,092
are, like, welcoming you
to this house,
922
00:40:29,094 --> 00:40:30,860
which is otherwise
so austere.

00:40:30,862 --> 00:40:31,961
Very.

[ Laughing ] It's not stupid.
It's not stupid.
929
00:40:50,949 --> 00:40:54,217
I think it's perfect.
It blends in with the floor.
930
00:40:54,219 --> 00:40:57,153
It's got that rough edge.
It's all-natural.
931
00:40:57,155 --> 00:41:00,256
This is like the gravitational
pull for our family,
932
00:41:00,258 --> 00:41:02,892
is a fireplace,
a wood-burning fireplace.
933
00:41:02,894 --> 00:41:04,360
I'm so happy about this.
934
00:41:04,362 --> 00:41:07,530
So worth piercing
the envelope for it.
935
00:41:07,532 --> 00:41:11,201
I know that's, like,
a passive-house no-no.
936
00:41:11,203 --> 00:41:14,571
But it's a calculated risk.
What can I say?
937
00:41:14,573 --> 00:41:17,240
All we have to do is get the
bathrooms and the kitchen,
938
00:41:17,242 --> 00:41:19,843
and...
939
00:41:19,845 --> 00:41:21,478
I'm so done.
940
00:41:24,716 --> 00:41:26,449
My vision for
the master bathroom
941
00:41:26,451 --> 00:41:29,118
was based on
a Mediterranean wet room.
942
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,689
So a very minimalist,
monochromatic space.
943
00:41:32,691 --> 00:41:35,058
There will be a glass panel
for the shower.
944
00:41:35,060 --> 00:41:38,561
So very, very low-key.
945
00:41:38,563 --> 00:41:40,096
I needed to get everything
in place
946
00:41:40,098 --> 00:41:41,931
because I've got
this craftsperson
947
00:41:41,933 --> 00:41:43,566
coming from very far away
948
00:41:43,568 --> 00:41:46,035
to do the waterproofing
treatment on the walls.
949
00:41:46,037 --> 00:41:48,438
And it's this really
cool mixture of plaster,
950
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,373
lime, wax, and water.
951
00:41:50,375 --> 00:41:54,511
And I just got a phone call from
Jim saying there is no water.
952
00:41:54,513 --> 00:41:56,246
JIM: I've just come out
to check the well.
953
00:41:56,248 --> 00:41:59,048
We were getting some grit,
sand, in the pump --
954
00:41:59,050 --> 00:42:00,850
in the water pump.
955
00:42:00,852 --> 00:42:06,489
So we think that there's grit,
or sand, in the well, possibly.
956
00:42:06,491 --> 00:42:07,991
And we've had this problem
957
00:42:07,993 --> 00:42:11,561
with a couple other wells on
the beach road here.
958
00:42:11,563 --> 00:42:14,564
Getting this bathroom finished
is incredibly important
959
00:42:14,566 --> 00:42:17,300
because we have
the entire family coming here.
960
00:42:17,302 --> 00:42:18,835
And I know that Terry and Norman
961
00:42:18,837 --> 00:42:20,370
are gonna want
to spend the night.
962
00:42:20,372 --> 00:42:25,308
So I need to give them
a toilet at the very least.
963
00:42:25,310 --> 00:42:30,246
I mean, that's hard to do
without running water.
964
00:42:30,248 --> 00:42:32,415
JIM: Until we get
this problem looked at,
965
00:42:32,417 --> 00:42:35,652
then there won't be any water.
966
00:42:37,923 --> 00:42:41,057
Only a couple of weeks to go
before the big family reunion.
967
00:42:41,059 --> 00:42:43,860
Oh, my goodness!
This looks amazing!

00:42:43,862 --> 00:42:45,895
Love this!
969
00:42:45,897 --> 00:42:49,132
It has been a long haul
and really hands-on.
970
00:42:49,134 --> 00:42:50,633
I am pushing as hard as possible
971
00:42:50,635 --> 00:42:53,169
to make sure
everything gets finished.
972
00:42:53,171 --> 00:42:54,771
I just heard them pull up.
