It was 24 when we got here
yesterday. It was cold.

Does everyone have underwear on?
It's cold!

Look at that face.

This is the real deal, guys.

Ladies, and Tad!

Come on! Let's go!
Let's go!

-You guys rolling?
-Eating.

In the condo, my first thoughts
were we can pack it

full like some seriously
cool stuff.

During construction,,
something happened.

What did you do?

I don't like that at all.

-Oh, my goodness!
-I need help!

I need help! Ow!

Not that much help!

I can't believe you
actually went down there.

I had to get your keys.

-Oh!
-Oh, my gosh.

I love everything
about this.

-Hello.
-Good morning.

-How are you ladies?
-Good.

Be better once I have
some coffee, please.

All right.
Coffee also, thank you.

All right, you got it.
Thank you.

What do we got
on our plate today?

A condo in Old Southside.
Oh, okay.

And it's livable
right now,

but it needs to be gutted
for sure, so...

Livable but needs to be gutted.
That's interesting.

People have
different standards...

Oh, for livable?
...as we have discovered, yes.

-There we go.
-Thank you.

-Have a good one.
-Thank you.

So we own
the whole building,

but rather than renovate
everything at once,

I want to start small
and test the market.

And we're working on one of the
downstairs one-bedroom units.

Oh, nice.

So I really like this little
pocket south of downtown.

The condo is
in the Old Southside,

which is still transitioning,

but it's showing
a lot of promise.

And if we do well
on the first unit,

it's gonna be a good sign
for the whole neighborhood.

I think it's gonna be
a really fun area

in a pretty short
amount of time.

Excellent.

I'm really excited
'cause it's small.
Mm-hmm.

But I think we can pack it
full of, like,

some seriously cool stuff.
Okay.

I'm thinking bold tile,
fun wallpaper, bright colors.

It's small,
so let's go big.

I think the old South Side
is a great area to be in

right now.

It just got a huge grant
from the city.

So money is gonna go into
infrastructure and housing

and things like that,
and I think

we're going to see a big change
there in the next three years.

So, I'm excited to be involved
in it right now.

I actually live on the old
South side right now,

so I know a lot
of my neighbors.

Very tight knit community,

and I think a lot of people
are excited to see it renovated

and rehabbed,
and revitalized into

probably what it was
30-40 years ago.

We're only tackling
the first unit right now,

and it's on
the ground floor.

And it's laid out
in kind of a circle --

living room, dining room,
kitchen, full bed, and bath.

I'm a little unsure, value-wise,
about this.

We bought this unit
for 30 grand,

and it's about
750 square feet,

and it's a one-bedroom,
one-bath.

I think if we really
deck it out,

we'll be able to significantly
increase the value of it.

Okay.

♪♪

It's this guy.

Oh!

So this definitely needs
some Karen zhushing.

This is
a fantastic front porch.

It is.

A front porch is
essentially crucial.

It's part of what makes it
feel like a neighborhood

because people come out
onto their porches

and that's how they chat
with their neighbors.

It's part of what makes
the house feel friendly

because you leave your front
porch light on

and the neighborhood
looks friendlier.

Growing up, I could always find
my dad on the back porch

reading the newspaper,
whistling with the birds,

and that's something that's kind
of I'm kind of inherited where,

like I like to sit out on
the front porch and I like to be

able to people watch or listen

to the birds
and be out in nature.

I love the old door, but it's
in pretty bad shape, so...

Yeah, but if we can
get a new door

that's the same style,
that'd be fantastic.

Ooh. It's a little more ripe
than last time I was in here.

KAREN: But we have floors.
We do.

And I think we can actually
salvage these hardwood floors.

I think we can, too.

The best way to refurbish
floors is give him a good sand

and a nice,
updated poly.

And there are a couple
different tools you can use

to do that.

I have a feeling they're not
watching this currently

to learn how to sand
the floor.

They will probably watch some
videos or read directions,

not take our two second
snippet of

"Use a drum sander
and then go around
the edges with belt sander."

Why wouldn't you...?

Done! You've learned!
Go sand the floor!

-Mazel tov!
- I really hate it when
she's right.

She's probably right.

So this is
your living room.

And there's drop ceilings
everywhere.

I'm not tall enough
to pop this one up,

but I can pop one
in the kitchen for you.

Now are you
tall enough?

Hyah!
Do you need to be closer?

Give me, like,
that window screen.
Ah, wait, no, no! Here.

Yeah, give me that.
Look at these things.

Choose your weapon, baby.

There you go.

We got about
18 more inches.

It might be fun to do something
different with the ceiling,

'cause it's such
a small space.

Like, maybe paint the ceiling
a different color

or put a big medallion
and do that a different color.

♪♪

So this is
the dining room.

This is my thought.

Take these out
and do French doors.

I'm thinking we make, like,
a secret garden.

It's like this little oasis,
and if we do -- if we do --

Hold on. Words have to come out
of your mouth if you open it.

The big challenge
in this space

is to make the small space
feel big.
Yeah.

And Mina has a fantastic idea
of putting big glass doors,

because that will double
the feel of the space.

Yeah, it will feel like
you'll have an extra

150 square feet out there.

All right,
onto the kitchen.

♪♪

This wall, gone.

Okay, do you know that
we can take it down?

This much of the wall,
gone.

[ Laughs ]

This much of the wall,
gone.

So it's just a wider opening
to the kitchen.

Yes, it's more of an opening
than a doorway.

This little spot,
if we take this out,

we're gonna have to
fix the floors.

No, 'cause we're gonna put tile
in the kitchen,

so we can just...

Oh.

Wait, do --
[ Chattering ]
Yeah.

Wait, what's that hallway
back there?

That's off the master.
Okay.

And because of one, two, three,
four, five openings...

So many doors.

We only need two.

...I think we get rid
of that one.

Okay, so wait.
Before we decide that.

This doorway to this back
hallway gets closed off.

Yeah, so our counters
can come all the way around.

The opening between the kitchen
and the dining room

gets widened as much
as it can be widened.
Yes.

The new floor plan
will be the same gist.

What we're gonna do
is stop the circle

between the kitchen
and the bathroom.

Right.
Ha-cha!

Ha-cha!

So this is the bathroom.

And in your future plan,

we won't be able
to come in this way?

No, there'll be
a wall there.

I just noticed the escutcheons,
I think those are called.

I like those.
I love those.

Those are beautiful.

When someone has gone to
the trouble to ornament

a door with
a beautiful knob

and I forget the name for
the plate in the back.

I feel like that
deserves respect.

Even if the door is just pine,

that knob should be saved.

So this is my thought that
door is gone.

So this is where your bathroom
door is now.

So it looks as big
as possible.

And I also think it would be

you could still access all this

Uh, yeah.

All right, let's go outside.
Okay.

That is stinky.

Yeah, it's very
tobacco smelly.
Yeah.

So the rundown...

This is a small space,

but it's not gonna feel
that way when we're done.

While this is the first unit in
the building we're renovating,

we have to update
the entire exterior.

Inside, we'll remove
the ceiling

and add French doors
in the dining room,

which will make the small space
feel twice as big

by bringing
the outdoors in.

We'll close off the bathroom
from the kitchen,

which gives us way more room
for counters.

And, lastly, we'll take up
part of the coat closet

as a laundry space
in the master bedroom.

So what did this cost?
It's $30,000.

We're gonna end up
putting...

You're just guessing.

I don't want to spend
more than $70,000.

MINA: This is an older unit
in the Southside neighborhood,

which hasn't fully
transitioned yet.

But if we can keep the budget
in line

and appeal to younger buyers

Because this is a little bit
more expensive,

I think butcher block
countertops

are gonna be a good option.
But I think butcher block
will look good in there,

'cause it'll warm it up.

Yeah.
And then lots of bling.

Yeah.
Pops of metal.

So maybe do
all the bathroom fixtures,

like, a bronze or gold.
Yeah, yes.

'Cause there's not a lot,
so we can afford

to spend a little bit more
in the fixtures.

It's a sink faucet
in a bathroom.

But we are gonna get away with
the copper roof on the porches.

Yeah,
that's all we need.

Copper roof just on the porches.
You won't see the other roof.

Because it was like $30,000
to do the whole roof in copper.

Sure.
So we're gonna do the main roof
black sable

and then the porch this accent,
so it's like a little jewelry.

And then the gutters
and downspouts?

Yeah, and the gutters
and downspouts.
Nice. Nice.

You like all of this?
I love it.

came along to help me

make the final
material choice.

Hello.
Howdy!

Sweet.

Yeah, so we've got a couple

We got the flat,

I agree.

And you're set on copper

Well, I want to do copper

it didn't work out.

So compromise is
black sable main roof

-Okay.
-Yeah.

I get jazzed up
about stuff like this.

Look at that!

Oh, that's perfect.

MINA: This is one of the
original doors from the condo,

and we're turning it
into a mirrored barn door

for the linen closet.

But also, because it's mirrored,
it will make it feel bigger,

and you have somewhere to,

So a square all the way
around near the edge.

Not too near the edge, 'cause
we don't want it to goo out.

And then zigzag

That's beautiful.

KAREN: It's important
to use an adhesive

This is so cool.

We're all lined up
down here, Jordan.

Banana leaf is one of those
things that's trending like
llamas or owls trended.

So, I wanted to do banana
leaves in a big way here,

but in a way that
could be undone.

So a vinyl peel-and-stick
wallpaper in a big way

on the wall is a perfect option
to do that
