00:00:01,335 --> 00:00:02,768
Jonathan: This is gopi
and michelle's forever home.
2
00:00:02,870 --> 00:00:04,703
They bought a big house
to create a gathering place
3
00:00:04,805 --> 00:00:06,772
for their big circle
of family and friends.
4
00:00:06,874 --> 00:00:09,208
Gopi: It was just the perfect
house for everyone to mingle.
5
00:00:09,310 --> 00:00:10,709
I've been known
to throw a few parties,
6
00:00:10,811 --> 00:00:13,545
and this house
fits the bill for that.
7
00:00:13,647 --> 00:00:15,080
And now that they have
little gabby,
8
00:00:15,182 --> 00:00:16,849
the circle just keeps
getting bigger.
9
00:00:16,951 --> 00:00:19,051
I would just love for gabby
to grow up here
10
00:00:19,153 --> 00:00:20,586
and have lots
of wonderful memories.
11
00:00:20,688 --> 00:00:22,121
This house has
a lot of space.
12
00:00:22,223 --> 00:00:25,557
But unfortunately,
it has a lot of problems, too.
13
00:00:25,659 --> 00:00:27,726
-There's the leak.
-That's disgusting.
14
00:00:27,828 --> 00:00:28,727
And I'm worried.
15
00:00:28,829 --> 00:00:29,895
So they need us...

To help them stay

25

it's a much newer neighborhood
than a lot of the neighborhoods
26
00:00:50,418 --> 00:00:52,151
we work on around here,
but I like it.
27
00:00:52,253 --> 00:00:53,519
Well,
quiet cul-de-sac, too.
28
00:00:53,621 --> 00:00:55,821
I will tell you this,
michelle doesn't have the vision
29
00:00:55,923 --> 00:00:58,857
that gopi has, because he knew
even before they had gabby
30
00:00:58,959 --> 00:01:00,325
that this was
a great family house.
31
00:01:00,428 --> 00:01:01,593
It's just not quite working
for them.
32
00:01:01,695 --> 00:01:02,895
Well, apparently
gabby has the vision
33
00:01:02,997 --> 00:01:04,663
when it comes
to ice cream.
34
00:01:04,765 --> 00:01:06,932
Gabby, how did you know?
I love ice cream.
35
00:01:07,034 --> 00:01:09,034
Chocolate chip mint.
Chocolate chip mint.
36
00:01:09,136 --> 00:01:11,403
-Do we have chocolate?
-Gabby.
37
00:01:11,505 --> 00:01:13,738
-No.
-Can I have some mint?
38
00:01:13,808 --> 00:01:16,108
She went on break.
Yeah.
39
00:01:16,210 --> 00:01:18,343
And when you found this house,
your ice-cream entrepreneur
40
00:01:18,446 --> 00:01:19,878
wasn't even
in the picture, right?
41
00:01:19,980 --> 00:01:23,148
Well, about five, six years ago,
I saw this house.
42
00:01:23,250 --> 00:01:26,852
It was all done, and we wanted
a larger family in the future.
43
00:01:26,954 --> 00:01:28,654
But I've been known
to throw a few parties,
44
00:01:28,756 --> 00:01:31,423
and this house
fits the bill for that.
45
00:01:31,525 --> 00:01:32,658
We came from
friends groups
46
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,094
that really liked
to be social together.
47
00:01:35,196 --> 00:01:36,395
And it was a big group.
48
00:01:36,497 --> 00:01:39,531
Like, I lived in a house
with 17 people in university.
49
00:01:39,633 --> 00:01:41,200
We're all
still great friends,
50
00:01:41,302 --> 00:01:44,470
and it was just a perfect house
for everyone to mingle.
51
00:01:44,572 --> 00:01:45,737
So it was fantastic.
52
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,907
I had to sell it to her,
and she's in sales.
53
00:01:49,009 --> 00:01:50,242
You did
a pretty good job.
54
00:01:50,344 --> 00:01:53,512
So what all that means
is he likes to blow a budget.
55
00:01:53,614 --> 00:01:54,713
-Yes. Yeah.
-Keep that in mind.
56
00:01:54,815 --> 00:01:56,482
Yeah, just remember
when we're doing things
57
00:01:56,584 --> 00:01:59,251
that he'll say yes, I'll be
the more conservative one.
58
00:01:59,353 --> 00:02:00,586
I like to take risks.
59
00:02:00,688 --> 00:02:02,387
Well, why don't we get inside
and have a look at the house?
60
00:02:02,490 --> 00:02:03,755
Is gabby coming in
with us?
61
00:02:03,858 --> 00:02:04,923
My sister's actually
picking her up
62
00:02:05,025 --> 00:02:06,425
to take her to a fun day
at daycare.
63
00:02:06,527 --> 00:02:07,993
Ooh, I'm gonna go
with her at daycare.
64
00:02:08,095 --> 00:02:09,461
That sounds
way more fun.
65
00:02:09,563 --> 00:02:11,897
As long as there's some ice
cream for us when we come back.
66
00:02:11,999 --> 00:02:13,799
-Bye, gabby.
-Alright, see you, gabby.
67
00:02:13,901 --> 00:02:15,067
I love these guys.
68
00:02:15,202 --> 00:02:16,735
They're so dedicated
to their big group of friends
69
00:02:16,837 --> 00:02:18,437
and their big family
that they got a house
70
00:02:18,539 --> 00:02:19,705
where they can
host them all.
71
00:02:19,807 --> 00:02:21,773
That's exactly why we renovated
our place in vegas.
72
00:02:21,876 --> 00:02:23,775
It's the hub for our family
and friends.
73
00:02:23,878 --> 00:02:25,410
So creating the same thing
for them?
74
00:02:25,513 --> 00:02:28,147
We're all in.
75
00:02:28,249 --> 00:02:30,015
So this is our home.
76
00:02:30,117 --> 00:02:31,850
I do like you have
a massive front entrance,
77
00:02:31,952 --> 00:02:33,252
which a lot of houses
do not.
78
00:02:33,354 --> 00:02:34,753
So that's fantastic.
79
00:02:34,855 --> 00:02:36,989
Can I go out on a limb
and guess a couple of things
80
00:02:37,091 --> 00:02:38,590
that you are tired of?
Sure.
81
00:02:38,692 --> 00:02:40,159
Builder basic tile.
82
00:02:40,261 --> 00:02:41,727
Yes. Got it.
83
00:02:41,829 --> 00:02:45,164
The old early '90s, late '80s
tone in your wood.
84
00:02:45,266 --> 00:02:47,199
Yes, and you'll see it match
with that old '80s tone
85
00:02:47,301 --> 00:02:48,300
in the kitchen, as well.
86
00:02:48,402 --> 00:02:50,068
The first impression
not just for you,
87
00:02:50,171 --> 00:02:52,004
but also for your guests,
you walk in,
88
00:02:52,072 --> 00:02:57,009
and it should just feel fresh
and on trend and inviting.
89
00:02:57,111 --> 00:02:59,611
And right now,
it's clean.
90
00:02:59,713 --> 00:03:02,047
But it doesn't really feel
like an inviting family home.
91
00:03:02,149 --> 00:03:04,383
-Doesn't feel like you.
-No, it doesn't feel like us.
92
00:03:04,485 --> 00:03:05,617
I agree completely.
93
00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:07,352
Gopi: One of the things
that we would like to see
94
00:03:07,454 --> 00:03:09,288
is, you know,
a proper living space.
95
00:03:09,390 --> 00:03:12,191
When you walk into the house,
this is our living room,
96
00:03:12,293 --> 00:03:14,626
and you can see
it's just our kid's room.
97
00:03:14,728 --> 00:03:16,094
Oh, so your living room
is a playroom?
98
00:03:16,197 --> 00:03:17,930
-Yes.
-I'm sure gabby loves that.
99
00:03:18,032 --> 00:03:20,332
-Gabby does love it.
-Oh, this is gabby's house.
100
00:03:20,434 --> 00:03:22,134
I mean, as much as we like
a space for gabby,
101
00:03:22,236 --> 00:03:23,669
we'd really like
to capture this back
102
00:03:23,771 --> 00:03:26,772
as a more family-oriented space
that we can all really use.
103
00:03:26,874 --> 00:03:29,474
And it's fine to be able
to have an area that she
can use to play in
104
00:03:29,577 --> 00:03:31,577
but just somewhere that
you actually put stuff away.
105
00:03:31,679 --> 00:03:34,713
You basically have everything
just piled up against the walls.
106
00:03:34,815 --> 00:03:36,582
That is a big,
tall table.
107
00:03:36,684 --> 00:03:38,150
Yeah, when I got it,
it really worked.
108
00:03:38,252 --> 00:03:40,252
But with gabby now, I don't
really like it at this height.
109
00:03:40,354 --> 00:03:41,753
I'd prefer something
a bit lower
110
00:03:41,855 --> 00:03:43,722
and definitely longer,
not as wide, too.
111
00:03:43,824 --> 00:03:45,123
Yeah. Now, look at
this light fixture.
112
00:03:45,192 --> 00:03:46,558
This is sort of
a builder basic
113
00:03:46,660 --> 00:03:48,227
if you're trying to climb up
your space a little bit.
114
00:03:48,329 --> 00:03:50,662
Not too expensive.
Is that your style?
115
00:03:50,764 --> 00:03:53,065
Mine is a bit more --
bit modern
116
00:03:53,167 --> 00:03:55,033
mixed with classic,
I would say.
117
00:03:55,135 --> 00:03:59,271
Gope, your style?
I'm more of anything
comfortable, convenient.
118
00:03:59,373 --> 00:04:02,574
So are you cool
with something that looks nice?
119
00:04:02,676 --> 00:04:04,543
You just don't want to be
the one who has to choose it.
120
00:04:04,645 --> 00:04:06,745
That's exactly it.
And we barely eat in here.
121
00:04:06,847 --> 00:04:09,881
Like, you can't really --
can't really watch tv in here.
122
00:04:09,950 --> 00:04:11,950
You're not supposed to watch tv
at the dinner table.
123
00:04:12,052 --> 00:04:14,453
The wall is blocking
a pretty dated kitchen.
124
00:04:14,555 --> 00:04:16,221
Yeah.
125
00:04:16,323 --> 00:04:18,423
Oh, yeah,
for such a big house,
126
00:04:18,525 --> 00:04:21,026
this is a really skinny
wraparound kitchen.
127
00:04:21,128 --> 00:04:22,561
Michelle: The hard part is,
when we have people over,
128
00:04:22,663 --> 00:04:23,762
I'm stuck in the kitchen,
129
00:04:23,864 --> 00:04:25,297
and I don't get to see
what everyone's doing
130
00:04:25,399 --> 00:04:26,932
because there's
no line of sight everywhere.
131
00:04:27,034 --> 00:04:28,166
So people are
in other rooms,
132
00:04:28,269 --> 00:04:30,102
and I'm kind of just by myself
in the kitchen.
133
00:04:30,204 --> 00:04:32,871
Yeah, that's no fun, especially
if you love to entertain.
We do.
134
00:04:32,973 --> 00:04:35,073
You can see, as well, that
there's a leak or something.
135
00:04:35,175 --> 00:04:36,608
I know.
It's been concerning us.
136
00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:38,343
It just started off small,
and it's growing.
137
00:04:38,445 --> 00:04:40,379
You probably have water
accumulating on the
other side of that.
138
00:04:40,481 --> 00:04:42,914
So we would really want
to get this checked out.
139
00:04:43,017 --> 00:04:44,049
No, I agree.
140
00:04:44,151 --> 00:04:45,317
What's your thought
on the pass-through
141
00:04:45,419 --> 00:04:46,752
and this opening
to the living space?
142
00:04:46,854 --> 00:04:48,320
I think
it's kind of dated.
143
00:04:48,422 --> 00:04:49,955
I don't really understand
the point of it.
144
00:04:50,057 --> 00:04:51,657
I mean, I'm glad that
it's not fully boxed in
145
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:53,191
'cause it gives a little bit
of line of sight.
146
00:04:53,294 --> 00:04:55,093
But I don't really love
the cutouts.
147
00:04:55,195 --> 00:04:59,298
Does it bug you having to have
the tv sticking out over here?
148
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:00,799
Michelle:
It might bug gopi a bit more.
149
00:05:00,901 --> 00:05:02,334
He's always wanted
to put it on the wall.
150
00:05:02,436 --> 00:05:03,635
I've always wanted it
right there.
151
00:05:03,737 --> 00:05:05,437
But I couldn't figure out
where to put the seating,
152
00:05:05,539 --> 00:05:07,372
then,
if the tv were there.
153
00:05:07,474 --> 00:05:09,641
So we kind of just
kept it here for now.
154
00:05:09,743 --> 00:05:11,843
Gopi spends a lot of time
on the couch,
155
00:05:11,945 --> 00:05:15,714
as you can see from his side
versus my side.
156
00:05:15,816 --> 00:05:17,482
One's a little more worn in
than the other.
157
00:05:17,584 --> 00:05:18,483
This is my side, right?
158
00:05:18,585 --> 00:05:19,518
Are you --
hold on.
159
00:05:19,620 --> 00:05:22,020
There's a line
of worn-out leather
160
00:05:22,122 --> 00:05:24,523
and then the back
of your calves.
161
00:05:24,625 --> 00:05:26,258
That couch
is not gonna stay.
162
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,794
Good. I don't want to see
the worn-out couch at all.
163
00:05:28,896 --> 00:05:31,330
We'll make it all cool,
make it all beautiful.
164
00:05:31,432 --> 00:05:33,565
Let's pretend everything
is a blank slate.
165
00:05:33,667 --> 00:05:35,400
If we were gonna redraw
these walls
166
00:05:35,502 --> 00:05:37,669
in the absolute
optimal location,
167
00:05:37,771 --> 00:05:39,338
where would we
want everything?
168
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,406
For example,
this pass-through is okay,
169
00:05:41,508 --> 00:05:44,075
but it's not the best use
of the wall space.
170
00:05:44,144 --> 00:05:47,045
If we get rid of it, you could
have true open sight lines.
171
00:05:47,147 --> 00:05:49,348
But if not,
why not just close it off?
172
00:05:49,450 --> 00:05:51,616
You could put a new pantry space
on one side
173
00:05:51,719 --> 00:05:53,485
and maybe a wall-mounted tv
on the other,
174
00:05:53,587 --> 00:05:55,721
which would help fix the layout
problem in the tv room.
175
00:05:55,823 --> 00:05:56,955

right now.
176
00:05:57,057 --> 00:05:58,423
There are a lot of things

some things
that should change.

But we just want make sure it's
perfect for the whole family.

I think it's just such
an amazing opportunity.
180
00:06:03,764 --> 00:06:04,830
The house that I was born in
181
00:06:04,932 --> 00:06:06,565
was the house that I stayed in
my entire life,
182
00:06:06,667 --> 00:06:08,500
and I have so many
special memories there.
183
00:06:08,635 --> 00:06:11,536
I would just love for gabby
to stay in the same space
184
00:06:11,638 --> 00:06:14,439
that her dad and I had gotten
even before she was born
185
00:06:14,541 --> 00:06:15,607
and just grew up here
186
00:06:15,709 --> 00:06:17,709
and have lots of wonderful
memories together.
187
00:06:17,811 --> 00:06:19,111
I love that.

Jonathan:
This is a nice, big home.
189
00:06:20,814 --> 00:06:23,615
It's got five bedrooms
and 3 1/2 bathrooms.
190
00:06:23,717 --> 00:06:25,417
I can see why michelle
and gopi love it,
191
00:06:25,519 --> 00:06:27,886
but I can also see why they need
to make some changes.
192
00:06:27,988 --> 00:06:30,322
Most of our budget
has to go into reimagining
193
00:06:30,424 --> 00:06:31,857
the chopped-up main floor,
194
00:06:31,959 --> 00:06:35,293
gabby's play space, the dining
room, kitchen, and tv room.
195
00:06:35,396 --> 00:06:38,096
And in the front entryway,
they'd love an interior door
196
00:06:38,198 --> 00:06:40,732
that leads directly into
the garage for easier access.
197
00:06:40,834 --> 00:06:43,969
You got to open this door
on the side here,
198
00:06:44,071 --> 00:06:45,871
and then that's the only way
into the garage.
199
00:06:45,973 --> 00:06:48,073
Oh, that is just...
A pain in the butt.

in the master suite.

investigate that, as well.

What's your budget?
205

So we do know that
it is gonna be a lot of work.
206

So our budget,
we were thinking $175,000.

That's a nice,
healthy budget,

But there's like
one, two, three,
338
00:11:54,715 --> 00:11:56,281
four little fingers
coming down.
339
00:11:56,383 --> 00:11:58,683
That's disgusting,
and I'm worried.
340
00:11:58,785 --> 00:12:00,785
I will get solutions for you
with this.
341
00:12:00,887 --> 00:12:02,921
I will get solutions
from the engineer for this.
342
00:12:03,023 --> 00:12:04,689
Once you guys finish
that inspiration tour,
343
00:12:04,791 --> 00:12:06,458
we'll have some options
for you.
344
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:08,460
Alright, I'm looking forward
to thinking about this
345
00:12:08,562 --> 00:12:09,461
and not about that.
346
00:12:09,563 --> 00:12:11,296
Good.
You did good today.

♪♪
348
00:12:14,534 --> 00:12:16,434
michelle and gopi
bought a house to grow into.
349
00:12:16,536 --> 00:12:19,037
It's got a lot of space
but not a lot of style.
350
00:12:19,139 --> 00:12:20,638
They don't really like
how it looks right now,
351
00:12:20,741 --> 00:12:22,207
but they're not sure
what direction to go in.
352
00:12:22,309 --> 00:12:24,209
So I'm gonna show them
a house that has a more modern
353
00:12:24,311 --> 00:12:25,944
and open and welcoming vibe,
354
00:12:26,046 --> 00:12:28,179
and hopefully that gets
their designer juices flowing.
355
00:12:28,281 --> 00:12:30,381
There you are.
356
00:12:30,484 --> 00:12:33,284
Oh, wow. Gabby would love to
sit there and put her shoes on.
357
00:12:33,386 --> 00:12:35,386
It's a good flow
for entertaining and guests.
358
00:12:35,489 --> 00:12:37,155
Definitely.
Feels a lot more open.
359
00:12:37,257 --> 00:12:38,389
So does this.
360
00:12:38,492 --> 00:12:41,359
-Wow, look at the island.
-Wow, look at the island.
361
00:12:41,461 --> 00:12:42,527
I mean, what do you think
362
00:12:42,629 --> 00:12:43,928
about having some like this
in your house?
363
00:12:44,030 --> 00:12:45,063
It's fantastic.
364
00:12:45,165 --> 00:12:47,932
We can actually eat
in a central place.
365
00:12:48,034 --> 00:12:51,469
Yeah. I love the island.
The colors are amazing.
366
00:12:51,571 --> 00:12:54,539
I like how big it is for,
like, prep space and eating.
367
00:12:54,608 --> 00:12:56,374
I love the cupboards.
368
00:12:56,476 --> 00:12:58,376
I love how bright
it is in here.
369
00:12:58,478 --> 00:12:59,844
We like the white.
370
00:12:59,946 --> 00:13:04,048
But we do want a little darker
feel to some of the island.
371
00:13:04,151 --> 00:13:06,251
So I can tell jonathan,
play with it a little bit,
372
00:13:06,353 --> 00:13:07,919
if we get something different
for the island.
373
00:13:08,021 --> 00:13:09,320
I'm definitely open
to options.
374
00:13:09,422 --> 00:13:11,356
I mean, I think
that's what's great
375
00:13:11,458 --> 00:13:12,590
about seeing
a place like this.
376
00:13:12,692 --> 00:13:14,592
We know what
we kind of don't like,
377
00:13:14,694 --> 00:13:16,294
but we don't know
how to get what we want.
378
00:13:16,396 --> 00:13:18,429
So we're definitely open
to different options.
379
00:13:18,532 --> 00:13:22,066
For backsplash, they wanted to
go really clean, fresh in here.
380
00:13:22,169 --> 00:13:24,803
So they ran that marble look
up the back, a slab style.
381
00:13:24,905 --> 00:13:25,970
Do you like that,
382
00:13:26,072 --> 00:13:27,405
or do you want to have something
that pops a little?
383
00:13:27,507 --> 00:13:29,307
I think I'd prefer something
that pops a little bit
384
00:13:29,409 --> 00:13:31,309
and gives it
a bit more character.
385
00:13:31,411 --> 00:13:33,978
This open flow, though,
is great, isn't it?
386
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,181
It's incredible.
I love the color of the floor.
387
00:13:36,283 --> 00:13:38,483
I love how the flooring
starts at the beginning
388
00:13:38,585 --> 00:13:40,685
and continues
all the way in.
389
00:13:40,787 --> 00:13:43,321
Well, right now,
you have your dining area
390
00:13:43,423 --> 00:13:46,324
in the middle of the house,
closed off from everything.
391
00:13:46,426 --> 00:13:49,394
I love everything about this.
I love the size of the table.
392
00:13:49,496 --> 00:13:51,930
I love the chairs
with the high backs.
393
00:13:52,032 --> 00:13:54,332
I think this would be
an amazing entertainment space
394
00:13:54,434 --> 00:13:56,167
to have our friends
and family over.
395
00:13:56,269 --> 00:13:58,236
It's something we're definitely
lacking right now.
396
00:13:58,338 --> 00:13:59,771
Come on in here.
397
00:13:59,873 --> 00:14:01,806
Now, what's the big difference
that you see
398
00:14:01,908 --> 00:14:03,107
from a living space
like this
399
00:14:03,210 --> 00:14:04,509
compared to what
you have right now?
400
00:14:04,611 --> 00:14:06,711
Well, it's a lot brighter
than what we have, I think.
401
00:14:06,813 --> 00:14:09,180
You even have some detail
in here, like the shiplap,
402
00:14:09,282 --> 00:14:11,516
additional storage,
tuck away all the toys.
403
00:14:11,618 --> 00:14:13,918
In our house, gabby's toys
are kind of stacked everywhere.
404
00:14:14,020 --> 00:14:17,055
And I think this would be
fantastic to tuck away her toys.
405
00:14:17,157 --> 00:14:19,057
But then she can bring it out
when she's playing, as well.
406
00:14:19,159 --> 00:14:22,327
I mean, we all know
gabby likes to run around.
407
00:14:22,429 --> 00:14:23,761
-She does.
-And over the next few years,
408
00:14:23,864 --> 00:14:25,430
it's just gonna
get worse and worse.
409
00:14:25,532 --> 00:14:27,532
So we want to make sure you can
have those sight lines for her.
410
00:14:27,634 --> 00:14:29,000
Let's go.
411
00:14:29,102 --> 00:14:31,135
I think this house hit the mark
for michelle and gopi.
412
00:14:31,238 --> 00:14:33,304
I could see them envisioning
themselves in the place.
413
00:14:33,406 --> 00:14:34,606
So, I'm gonna take
all this information
414
00:14:34,708 --> 00:14:36,841
and pass it on to jonathan.
415
00:14:36,943 --> 00:14:39,043
They love the white cabinets
and counters in the kitchen
416
00:14:39,145 --> 00:14:41,579
but maybe with an accent color
on some of the lowers.
417
00:14:41,681 --> 00:14:43,214
Ample storage is a must.
418
00:14:43,316 --> 00:14:45,750
A colorful backsplash and dark
hardwood flooring throughout
419
00:14:45,852 --> 00:14:48,219
will add major personality.
420
00:14:48,321 --> 00:14:50,455
Of course, they had
a big reaction to the island
421
00:14:50,557 --> 00:14:51,923
with fully open sight lines.
422
00:14:52,025 --> 00:14:54,592
But we'll just have to see if
we can fit that in the budget.

429
00:15:09,609 --> 00:15:12,043
So all the old tile
and hardwood has got to go.

Plus, we did hear back
from our engineer.
431
00:15:14,114 --> 00:15:16,447
The cost of getting rid
of all the walls in the kitchen
432
00:15:16,549 --> 00:15:19,350
is unfortunately way
out of our price range.
433
00:15:19,452 --> 00:15:21,853
We're gonna have to keep this
one small section of wall
434
00:15:21,955 --> 00:15:23,755
for load support and utilities.
435
00:15:23,857 --> 00:15:26,891
On the bright side, we can
get rid of the long wall.
436
00:15:26,993 --> 00:15:28,293
So they won't get an island,
437
00:15:28,395 --> 00:15:30,328

a massive peninsula,

old play area.
463
00:16:17,510 --> 00:16:18,910
We'll be closing off this wall

to accommodate the changes
in the front entryway.
465
00:16:21,147 --> 00:16:22,747
And that'll
give us enough space
466

to build this incredible
feature wall
467
00:16:24,584 --> 00:16:27,251
with custom built-in shelving
and a wall-mounted tv,

we will be able to remove the
long part of the dividing wall

to open up the space,

but we'll need to keep
a shorter section
473
00:16:37,530 --> 00:16:40,098
to hold the new support beam
and run some utilities.
474
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,166
Then we'll build
an enormous peninsula
475
00:16:42,268 --> 00:16:44,035
with rich dark-green cabinetry,
476
00:16:44,137 --> 00:16:46,504
a wine fridge,
and bar-stool seating.

This is gonna be a hot spot
for entertaining.
478
00:16:49,209 --> 00:16:51,376
Along the wall,
we'll go with white cabinets
479
00:16:51,478 --> 00:16:52,944
to contrast the darker ones,
480
00:16:53,046 --> 00:16:54,579
and we'll carry
the quartz counters
481
00:16:54,681 --> 00:16:55,847
through the rest
of the kitchen
482
00:16:55,949 --> 00:16:57,915

in the backsplash

eclectic lighting,

Option one sounds
really good right now.
490
00:17:13,099 --> 00:17:16,100
Option one would take
about six weeks to complete,
491
00:17:16,202 --> 00:17:20,004
and it would cost $170,000.
492
00:17:20,106 --> 00:17:21,472
I mean,
it's a lot of money,
493

but option one
sounds like we get

that we're looking for.

Why don't we talk
option two?
496

Option two gives you the same
amazing kitchen, big peninsula,
497
00:17:31,584 --> 00:17:34,619
same living room with the
built-ins around your tv.
498
00:17:34,721 --> 00:17:35,820
The biggest change
499
00:17:35,922 --> 00:17:38,322
is that instead of taking
the entire family room up
500
00:17:38,425 --> 00:17:39,857
as your new dining room,
501
00:17:39,959 --> 00:17:41,392
we'll think outside the box
a little
502
00:17:41,494 --> 00:17:43,428
and we'll create
a hybrid space.
503
00:17:43,530 --> 00:17:45,063
We'll relocate
your dining table
504
00:17:45,165 --> 00:17:47,098

to the back wall,
505
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,367

Then we'll create the ultimate
play space for gabby.
508
00:17:54,574 --> 00:17:57,008
There will be lots of room
to play or watch tv
509
00:17:57,110 --> 00:17:59,777
and tons of beautiful
custom built-in storage.
510
00:17:59,879 --> 00:18:02,647
So if you want, you can clean up
after the birthday party
511
00:18:02,749 --> 00:18:05,249
and then do it up
with a dinner party.
512
00:18:05,351 --> 00:18:06,584
Sounds pretty good.
513
00:18:06,686 --> 00:18:08,519
I'm curious to hear
how much that option costs.
514
00:18:08,621 --> 00:18:09,921
What's that look?
515
00:18:10,023 --> 00:18:12,857
I think that gabby
will be sold on you guys
516
00:18:12,959 --> 00:18:15,560
if you do that.
517
00:18:15,662 --> 00:18:17,395
I like how your, like,
impressed face
518
00:18:17,497 --> 00:18:19,464
is like a
"I don't like it" face.
519
00:18:19,566 --> 00:18:22,800
-Yeah.
-I think it looks real good.
520
00:18:22,902 --> 00:18:25,136
But to michelle's point,
how much does this cost?
521
00:18:25,238 --> 00:18:27,772
Keep in mind, for both options,
will give you an interior door
522
00:18:27,874 --> 00:18:29,373
to your garage
in the front entryway,
523
00:18:29,476 --> 00:18:32,743
and we'll build you a new closet
next to the powder room.
524
00:18:32,846 --> 00:18:34,278
It actually comes in,
because we would have to do
525
00:18:34,380 --> 00:18:36,514
custom built-ins over there
to make sure we get the storage
526
00:18:36,616 --> 00:18:39,117
and get the dining table off
to the side for a banquette,
527
00:18:39,219 --> 00:18:40,618
would cost
about an extra 5 grand.
528
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,254
So that would come in
right at your top, $175,000.
529
00:18:43,356 --> 00:18:45,089
Same timeline --
six weeks.
530
00:18:45,191 --> 00:18:46,724
And then everything
would be set up
531
00:18:46,826 --> 00:18:48,326
for both you guys
and for gabby.
532
00:18:48,428 --> 00:18:51,162
And that includes
fixing the ceiling leak.
533
00:18:51,264 --> 00:18:53,064
We do have a buffer
in both budgets
534
00:18:53,166 --> 00:18:54,465
to accommodate
what we're doing over here.
535
00:18:54,567 --> 00:18:57,602
But be aware, until we actually
open that shower up,
536
00:18:57,704 --> 00:18:58,870
there could be other costs.
537
00:18:58,972 --> 00:19:03,674
I think it's a small price
to pay for gabby's happiness.
538
00:19:03,776 --> 00:19:07,278
That little bit is just gonna
provide so much joy in her life.
539
00:19:07,380 --> 00:19:10,281
We're not delayed on time
or anything like that.
540
00:19:10,383 --> 00:19:11,816
I'm a little torn
between it.
541
00:19:11,918 --> 00:19:12,850
We have to think
that gabby's
542
00:19:12,952 --> 00:19:14,418
only gonna be little
for so long.
543
00:19:14,521 --> 00:19:17,221
So a big dining space
will allow our family to grow
544
00:19:17,323 --> 00:19:18,990
and have
the big family dinners
545
00:19:19,092 --> 00:19:20,558
that we're really looking for,
as well.
546
00:19:20,660 --> 00:19:21,826
What are you thinking?
547
00:19:21,928 --> 00:19:23,694
I think we just
started demolition.
548
00:19:23,796 --> 00:19:26,898
So I don't know what else we're
gonna find in through this.
549
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,933
And I'm still very nervous
about the bathroom,
550
00:19:29,035 --> 00:19:31,903
and that extra $5,000,
I think --
551
00:19:32,005 --> 00:19:34,405
I think I'd rather keep that
just in case anything comes up.
552
00:19:34,507 --> 00:19:36,474
-So...
-And you're right.
553
00:19:36,576 --> 00:19:38,209
There are still some things
that could pop up.
554
00:19:38,311 --> 00:19:41,279
So if you feel more comfortable
with that $5,000 buffer,
555
00:19:41,381 --> 00:19:42,446
option one's
the way to go.
556
00:19:42,549 --> 00:19:44,148
I'm thinking option one.
557
00:19:44,250 --> 00:19:45,383
-Option one?
-Option one.
558
00:19:45,485 --> 00:19:47,552
I think that's the best way
to go for us.
559
00:19:47,654 --> 00:19:49,654
Honestly, gabby is gonna
have no shortage of places
560
00:19:49,756 --> 00:19:50,788

I'm telling you,
you're making the right decision
564
00:19:57,030 --> 00:19:58,863
and probably the safe decision
to have that buffer.
565

I'm super excited
about option one.

point was ridiculous.

You had to go outside

I think there were
two problems.
646
00:23:02,715 --> 00:23:05,082
One, there was an actual leak
in the drain.
Sebastian: That's true.
647

That's what was causing the
water that we saw coming down.

649

enough ventilation in here.

So there's mold in a lot
of the insulation
651

that we'll have
to pull out.
652
00:23:14,293 --> 00:23:15,393
I think redoing the floor,
653
00:23:15,495 --> 00:23:17,461
redoing the drain,
and doing a proper membrane
654
00:23:17,563 --> 00:23:18,829

That will help for sure.
Oh, yeah.

and prevent the mold from
growing up here in the future.
668
00:23:48,628 --> 00:23:50,361
That will make
a huge difference,
669
00:23:50,463 --> 00:23:52,229
because they have
a great fan there, too.
670
00:23:52,331 --> 00:23:54,932
It's a much stronger fan
than your average fan.

672
00:23:56,369 --> 00:23:59,136
it will suck the hot,
humid air out here.

solve the problem.

we put the new membrane system

But downstairs, we still have
a lot of ground to cover.
680

When builders are putting up
a bunch of houses really quick,
681
00:24:17,089 --> 00:24:18,923
quite often they'll do
their subfloor with osb,
682
00:24:19,025 --> 00:24:21,425
which is like chipboard,
and it's fine structurally,
683
00:24:21,561 --> 00:24:23,627
but it's not a good bonding
surface for adhesive
684

that sliced right through
their main living area.
693
00:24:39,378 --> 00:24:42,513
We're gonna use a massive steel
support beam to hold the load

This is gonna be at the heart

where they'll watch gabby
grow up and create new memories.

They're not gonna know
what hit them.

One thing we should consider,
though...
713
00:25:22,221 --> 00:25:25,189
So the next step is to fit
the beam up inside the joists.
714
00:25:25,291 --> 00:25:27,424
But it looks like
we're gonna have a problem.
715
00:25:27,527 --> 00:25:29,293
So our cavity with drywall

721
00:25:40,940 --> 00:25:43,040
We just had a thousand-pound
support beam delivered.
722
00:25:43,142 --> 00:25:45,209
And it's just a bit too wide.
723

If we install this beam as is,

weird little bulkhead

We're gonna fur down
the entire ceiling,

than normal ceiling height
740

by about an inch,
but it won't be noticeable,
741

This is a 22-foot beam.
749

It's massive,
and it weighs like half a ton.
750

Normally we would use a lift
for a big beam like this.
751

But because of the position
of the support walls,
752

so we're kicking it old school.

00:30:18,751 --> 00:30:20,717
Well,
that's really exciting.
847
00:30:20,820 --> 00:30:23,320
Jonathan: We wanted you guys
to just have a space
848
00:30:23,422 --> 00:30:25,055
that not only functions
for your family,
849
00:30:25,157 --> 00:30:28,125
but also just something that
is the best first impression.
850
00:30:28,194 --> 00:30:30,227
When you walk in,
it feels inviting.
851
00:30:30,329 --> 00:30:31,962
-It feels finished.
-It's stunning.
852
00:30:32,064 --> 00:30:33,764
Oh, you ain't seen
nothing yet.
853
00:30:33,866 --> 00:30:35,933
Check out
your new kitchen.
854
00:30:36,035 --> 00:30:38,936
Holy crap.
855
00:30:39,038 --> 00:30:40,370
Whoa!
It's so much bigger!
856
00:30:40,472 --> 00:30:41,538
Oh, my god!
857
00:30:43,742 --> 00:30:44,842
This is
"property brothers"...
858
00:30:44,944 --> 00:30:46,243
"forever home."
859
00:30:46,345 --> 00:30:47,711
oh, you ain't
seen nothing yet.
860
00:30:47,813 --> 00:30:49,680
Check out
your new kitchen.
861
00:30:49,782 --> 00:30:53,317
Holy crap.
862
00:30:53,419 --> 00:30:54,885
Whoa!
It's so much bigger.
863
00:30:54,987 --> 00:30:56,420
Oh, my god.
864
00:30:56,522 --> 00:30:59,423
I'm, like, literally speechless
right now.
865
00:30:59,525 --> 00:31:02,459
-Come on in.
-This is incredible.
866
00:31:02,561 --> 00:31:04,228
I just want to, like,
run around.
867
00:31:04,330 --> 00:31:05,629
-Yeah.
-Do it.
868
00:31:05,731 --> 00:31:09,566
This is, like, legit beyond
a dream kitchen for me.
869
00:31:09,668 --> 00:31:12,135
I can't even imagine
how this, like --
870
00:31:12,238 --> 00:31:13,871
it was so closed off
before.
871
00:31:13,973 --> 00:31:15,205
Remember you had
a wall here before.
872
00:31:15,307 --> 00:31:16,874
You had no sight line
before.
873
00:31:16,976 --> 00:31:19,877
This space is just so bright
and open.
874
00:31:19,979 --> 00:31:20,978
This is huge.
875
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,146
I can't believe
this is our house.
876
00:31:23,249 --> 00:31:24,548
And we had this
all along.
877
00:31:24,650 --> 00:31:26,950
The backsplash,
I'm so impressed with it.
878
00:31:27,052 --> 00:31:28,218
You can see
that tint of blue.
879
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,721
-It helps brighten up the space.
-It's so bright now.
880
00:31:30,823 --> 00:31:33,023
And also, look up.
881
00:31:33,125 --> 00:31:35,959
Wow. Recessed lights
everywhere
882
00:31:36,061 --> 00:31:38,962
and there's no nasty stain
coming down.
883
00:31:39,064 --> 00:31:41,064
-Exactly.
-Oh.
884
00:31:41,166 --> 00:31:43,267
That's what I was
getting at.
885
00:31:43,369 --> 00:31:45,168
That's my biggest thing.
886
00:31:45,271 --> 00:31:48,472
The shower has been
completely redone upstairs,
887
00:31:48,574 --> 00:31:50,274
and it looks amazing.
888
00:31:50,376 --> 00:31:51,375
Thank you guys so much.
889
00:31:51,477 --> 00:31:52,442
No mold fingers.
890
00:31:52,544 --> 00:31:54,278
No mold, no smell.
891
00:31:54,380 --> 00:31:56,213
We've also
raised the threshold
892
00:31:56,315 --> 00:31:57,848
so that you have better
airflow in and out.
893
00:31:57,950 --> 00:31:59,917
Everything's been
waterproofed properly,
894
00:32:00,019 --> 00:32:02,185
so you will not have a problem
again in the kitchen.
895
00:32:02,288 --> 00:32:03,487
I can't thank you guys enough
for that,
896
00:32:03,589 --> 00:32:05,022
because the last thing
I would have wanted
897
00:32:05,124 --> 00:32:06,723
is to have
this amazing space
898
00:32:06,825 --> 00:32:09,026
and then have
that leak coming down
899
00:32:09,128 --> 00:32:10,994
and doing something
to ruin our kitchen.
900
00:32:11,096 --> 00:32:13,463
You need a safe home
and a beautiful home.
901
00:32:13,565 --> 00:32:15,165
Gopi:
This is light-years ahead
902
00:32:15,267 --> 00:32:17,501
of what we thought
it would come out as.
903
00:32:17,603 --> 00:32:19,770
Not only do you have
a beautiful aesthetic,
904
00:32:19,872 --> 00:32:23,340
but you also have the function
of tons of prep space,
905
00:32:23,442 --> 00:32:24,608
tons of storage.
906
00:32:24,710 --> 00:32:26,910
In fact,
you have storage on the front.
907
00:32:27,012 --> 00:32:29,913
You have storage all across
the back here, as well.
908
00:32:30,015 --> 00:32:32,015
You have full-depth storage
over here.
909
00:32:32,117 --> 00:32:33,517
This is
incredibly functional.

gopi: This peninsula
is so huge.
912
00:32:39,625 --> 00:32:42,793
I didn't have a table
to really do anything before.
913
00:32:42,895 --> 00:32:44,194
You had a dining table
in the middle here
914
00:32:44,296 --> 00:32:45,295
that was, like,
this high.
915
00:32:45,397 --> 00:32:46,830
-That you never used.
-Yeah.
916
00:32:46,932 --> 00:32:49,333
Now there's just a world
of options here.
917
00:32:49,435 --> 00:32:51,935
All I can think about is,
like, our family gatherings,
918
00:32:52,037 --> 00:32:53,403
mom and I cooking
in the kitchen.
919
00:32:53,505 --> 00:32:54,671
And when we have parties,
920
00:32:54,773 --> 00:32:56,773
this is gonna be
the central gathering space.
921
00:32:56,875 --> 00:32:59,376
I know 100%.
It's just gorgeous.
922
00:32:59,478 --> 00:33:02,713
I know that you want to let out,
like, a scream or something.
923
00:33:02,815 --> 00:33:03,847
So go ahead.
924
00:33:03,949 --> 00:33:05,682
Whoo!
925
00:33:05,784 --> 00:33:07,484
You have a better dance
than that.
926
00:33:07,586 --> 00:33:08,652
-Come on.
-You too.
927
00:33:08,754 --> 00:33:11,555
-You can dance, too.
-You got moves?

929
00:33:13,826 --> 00:33:15,726
I can join
on this on.
930
00:33:15,828 --> 00:33:18,762
I will not.
But I do love that.
931
00:33:18,864 --> 00:33:21,098
I mean, you guys deserve
to have a place
932
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,133
that is set for having friends
and family over.
933
00:33:23,235 --> 00:33:24,701
You said that you have
lots of people
934
00:33:24,803 --> 00:33:26,003
that you want
to get in here.
935
00:33:26,105 --> 00:33:27,504
Well, now you can
see them.
936
00:33:27,606 --> 00:33:28,605
I cannot wait.
937
00:33:28,707 --> 00:33:31,174
And you have an actual
dining room
938
00:33:31,276 --> 00:33:32,843
at an actual
normal height.
939
00:33:32,945 --> 00:33:35,345
-Oh, my goodness.
-Wow.

How was this
our tv room before?

00:33:41,053 --> 00:33:43,020
Like, I can't even --
944
00:33:43,122 --> 00:33:46,623
oh, my gosh.
The colors are amazing.
945
00:33:46,725 --> 00:33:48,492
This table, the chairs.
946
00:33:48,594 --> 00:33:51,194
I love, love,
love, love.
947
00:33:51,296 --> 00:33:52,929
It'll be perfect
for our dinner parties.
948
00:33:53,032 --> 00:33:55,065
I know you like to read,
but I might take a nap in there.
949
00:33:55,134 --> 00:33:56,933
No, no, no,
my entire life I've dreamed
950
00:33:57,036 --> 00:33:59,536
of having, like,
a window seat for reading.
951
00:33:59,638 --> 00:34:02,539
And now that I have this
and the sunshine streams in,
952
00:34:02,641 --> 00:34:04,007
gonna be nicely curled up,
953
00:34:04,109 --> 00:34:06,810
tucked away just like this,
reading my book.
954
00:34:06,912 --> 00:34:09,479
That is a baloney pose.
955
00:34:09,581 --> 00:34:12,449
If you're gonna pose on here,
it's more like this.

[ laughter ]
957
00:34:14,720 --> 00:34:16,820
am I perfectly backlit?
958
00:34:16,922 --> 00:34:17,888
I think this is great.
959
00:34:17,990 --> 00:34:20,323
You guys needed
to have an amazing space
960
00:34:20,426 --> 00:34:23,293
that you can have family
dinners, that you can entertain.
961
00:34:23,395 --> 00:34:25,328
But it also has
its own separation.
962
00:34:25,431 --> 00:34:26,797
So it's a little bit
more elegant.
963
00:34:26,899 --> 00:34:27,964
Yeah, definitely.
964
00:34:28,067 --> 00:34:29,800
We were so concerned
about space for gabby.
965
00:34:29,902 --> 00:34:31,635
There's tons of space
in the kitchen.
966
00:34:31,737 --> 00:34:33,770
There's space
to play around here.
967
00:34:33,872 --> 00:34:35,072
This is, like, perfect.
968
00:34:35,174 --> 00:34:36,440
But on top of that,
969
00:34:36,542 --> 00:34:37,874
there's a whole other area
for gabby.
970
00:34:37,976 --> 00:34:38,975
-Follow me.
-I can't wait.
971
00:34:39,078 --> 00:34:40,610
What?

00:34:40,712 --> 00:34:42,913
Oh!
973
00:34:43,015 --> 00:34:44,915
-This is gabby's corner.
-Oh, my god.
974
00:34:45,017 --> 00:34:47,250
This is amazing.
975
00:34:47,352 --> 00:34:50,253
-Oh, she's gonna love it.
-This is just incredible.
976
00:34:50,355 --> 00:34:53,123
-The tears on the cheek there.
-Yes, yes, there are.
977
00:34:53,225 --> 00:34:54,891
They're coming.
Gabby's our life.
978
00:34:54,993 --> 00:34:57,294
Like, everything we do
we do for her, really.
979
00:34:57,396 --> 00:34:59,529
And this is
our forever home.
980
00:34:59,631 --> 00:35:01,765
I just want her to feel
981
00:35:01,867 --> 00:35:03,767
like this is her house,
too, you know?
982
00:35:03,869 --> 00:35:05,535
And I just really hope
that the feelings
983
00:35:05,637 --> 00:35:08,271
that I had growing up in
my house with my parents
984
00:35:08,373 --> 00:35:10,173
just translate
back to gabby.
985
00:35:10,275 --> 00:35:12,309
And I think having
such a beautiful space
986
00:35:12,411 --> 00:35:14,411
is gonna only make it
that much easier.
987
00:35:14,513 --> 00:35:17,981
Well, I think I can see,
you know, multiple generations
988
00:35:18,083 --> 00:35:19,416
'cause I can see
gabby there.
989
00:35:19,518 --> 00:35:21,284
I can see your mom
sitting here.
990
00:35:21,386 --> 00:35:22,652
And now that it's open,
991
00:35:22,754 --> 00:35:26,723
I think it will actually help
have that family time
992
00:35:26,825 --> 00:35:29,459
because everything's conducive
to a hangout.
993
00:35:29,561 --> 00:35:33,363
But you do now have a functional
living space for the family.
994
00:35:33,432 --> 00:35:34,598
This is all you.
995
00:35:34,700 --> 00:35:36,500

I love it.

Michelle: Beautiful.
997
00:35:37,803 --> 00:35:41,271
It's so bright,
like, the paint colors.
998
00:35:41,373 --> 00:35:43,773
I thought this would be
too small as a seating area.
999
00:35:43,876 --> 00:35:46,510
But you can still seat
a ton of us.
1000
00:35:46,612 --> 00:35:48,478
Gopi, the sectional
you've been dreaming of.
1001
00:35:48,580 --> 00:35:50,080
-Have a seat.
-Yeah.
1002
00:35:50,182 --> 00:35:51,281
Ah!
1003
00:35:51,383 --> 00:35:52,983
-Ahh.
-Oh, yeah.
1004
00:35:53,085 --> 00:35:55,685
This is definitely
gonna be gopi's corner.
1005
00:35:55,787 --> 00:35:59,189
I think you found
a great spot for this.
1006
00:35:59,291 --> 00:36:01,024
Just kiss it.
I know you want to kiss it.
1007
00:36:01,126 --> 00:36:04,528
He just wants
to wrap his arms around it.
1008
00:36:04,630 --> 00:36:06,696
What will you name her?
1009
00:36:06,798 --> 00:36:08,064
To be determined.

[ laughter ]
1011
00:36:10,002 --> 00:36:12,402
you have all this organization
to tuck gabby's stuff way.
1012
00:36:12,504 --> 00:36:14,804
-Look at all the storage.
-Oh, my gosh.
1013
00:36:14,907 --> 00:36:17,941
It's all her toys.
This is incredible.
1014
00:36:18,043 --> 00:36:20,143
Drew: I know you love having
gabby here where the action is,
1015
00:36:20,245 --> 00:36:21,578
where you guys are.
1016
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,915
And so our solution was not
to take her out of this space,
1017
00:36:25,017 --> 00:36:25,949
but to make it
more functional
1018
00:36:26,051 --> 00:36:27,217
so that if you do
have guests over,
1019
00:36:27,319 --> 00:36:28,752
it's not
her stuff everywhere.
1020
00:36:28,854 --> 00:36:30,353
It's just amazing.
1021
00:36:30,455 --> 00:36:34,057
So on a scale of 1 to 10,
what do you think?
1022
00:36:34,159 --> 00:36:36,993
I never give out 10s,
but I think you did it.
1023
00:36:37,095 --> 00:36:38,061
Yes!
1024
00:36:38,163 --> 00:36:39,996
I would say
way beyond 10.
1025
00:36:40,098 --> 00:36:42,165
This is like infinity.
This is incredible.
1026
00:36:42,267 --> 00:36:45,001
I still can't believe
that we are gonna be living
1027
00:36:45,103 --> 00:36:47,070
in a space
that is this beautiful.
1028
00:36:47,172 --> 00:36:49,272
I think it's great.
I love your reaction.
1029
00:36:49,374 --> 00:36:51,942
But I really want to see what
grandma and gabby have to say.
1030
00:36:52,044 --> 00:36:53,810
I can't wait.
I can't wait to hear
what they say.
1031
00:36:53,912 --> 00:36:56,046
Michelle: Now that it's updated,
it just means so much.
1032
00:36:56,148 --> 00:36:58,682
And I cannot wait
to get in there and start living
1033
00:36:58,784 --> 00:37:00,884
and just having our day-to-day
activities in there
1034
00:37:00,986 --> 00:37:03,053
and just really
taking it all in.
1035
00:37:03,155 --> 00:37:06,223
Oh, my goodness.
This look amazing.
1036
00:37:06,325 --> 00:37:08,825
The wait's been killing me,
but it was all worth it.
1037
00:37:08,927 --> 00:37:10,694
Oh, my goodness.
1038
00:37:10,796 --> 00:37:14,497
Gabby, that space there
is all for you.
1039
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,367
Having gabby and my mom together
in the house is priceless.
1040
00:37:17,469 --> 00:37:20,403
Jonathan: Oh, yeah. Okay.
You win. That's the best pose.
1041
00:37:20,505 --> 00:37:22,872
-That's it.
-Yeah. So nice.
1042
00:37:22,975 --> 00:37:24,507
I just think it's
just so beautiful,
1043
00:37:24,610 --> 00:37:26,610
and I can't wait for all
the memories we're gonna create.
1044
00:37:26,712 --> 00:37:27,844
Oh, my god.
1045
00:37:27,946 --> 00:37:30,247
Come on in.
Hey, guys.
1046
00:37:30,349 --> 00:37:31,748
You like how it looks?
1047
00:37:31,850 --> 00:37:34,384
I love it.
I know, right?
1048
00:37:34,486 --> 00:37:36,720
Can you even tell
it's the same house anymore?
1049
00:37:36,822 --> 00:37:38,855
Drew: It was so great seeing all
of michelle and gopi's family
1050
00:37:38,957 --> 00:37:40,790
and friends that we've been
hearing so much about.
1051
00:37:40,892 --> 00:37:43,126
Michelle:
I was so excited to have
our friends and family there,
1052
00:37:43,228 --> 00:37:44,494
and everyone
got dressed up,
1053
00:37:44,596 --> 00:37:46,363
and it was just
such a special moment.
1054
00:37:46,465 --> 00:37:48,131
It really is monumental.
1055
00:37:48,233 --> 00:37:49,899
I know it --
it's the house that we had,
1056
00:37:50,002 --> 00:37:51,801
but it feels like
a new beginning for us,
1057
00:37:51,903 --> 00:37:53,336
and I'm really excited
for it.
1058
00:37:53,438 --> 00:37:55,105
Welcome home!
1059
00:37:55,207 --> 00:37:57,007
[ all talking ]
1060
00:37:57,109 --> 00:37:58,441
thank you.
1061
00:37:58,543 --> 00:38:00,410
-Thank you so much.
-Thank you.
