Channel: unknown
[5]
[Ned] What was that? What was that?
[6]
Oh, no!
[8]
Ariel!
[11]
We're buying a house.
Yes, I know, Bean.
[14]
Over the last two years,
[15]
we've been looking at a bunch
of different open houses,
[18]
but now, we have a baby on the way,
[20]
so, it's serious.
[21]
We partnered with
realtor.com to give you guys
[24]
a three-part series that's
all about our process
[27]
of trying to find a house.
[30]
We saw a bunch of
different houses last week,
[32]
and we picked the Spanish-style fixer-up.
[35]
Oh my gosh, I'm so excited.
[37]
We wrote a letter saying that
we're expecting a baby soon
[40]
and that we loved the neighborhood,
[42]
but the question is, Ariel.
[44]
[Ariel] Yes?
[45]
Did we get the house?
[46]
We got the house!
[52]
Come on, babe!
[53]
Okay, let's go inside.
[56]
Something's wrong with the door.
[57]
Let me see those keys.
[61]
Let's go around the back.
[62]
[Ariel] Wait for me.
[64]
[Ned] Let's talk about
how we're gonna make
[66]
this house our home.
[68]
You know what I want?
[69]
I want this to be like a big great room.
[72]
[Ned] You know where it's like you walk in
[73]
you've got a seating area over here.
[74]
Then you sort of see like, ahhhh.
[76]
[Ariel] Yeah.
[77]
We've got the new My Home
section of realtor.com up
[80]
with all of this remodeling we're doing.
[82]
We're gonna want to track
the value of our home.
[84]
But first, let's look at
some design inspiration.
[87]
I like the look of this
space, the fireplace
[90]
is a really central piece.
[92]
[Ariel] Yeah.
[93]
So maybe we could take the
brick and paint it white.
[95]
[Ariel] I think that would be lovely.
[96]
We know the door needs fixing.
[99]
[Ariel] Yes.
[99]
[Ned] What are we going to do about that?
[101]
I, kind of, like this darker color here.
[104]
Yeah.
[105]
I think we need the really
sort of regal-looking hardware.
[109]
Gold accents on a blue door?
[111]
That would look really nice.
[112]
That would look really nice.
[113]
We can get a big old knocker.
[114]
I want a big door knocker.
[116]
Like, a big old knocker.
[117]
Yeah, do you like big knockers?
[119]
Yeah, that's...
Her words, not mine.
[120]
This is probably one
of the weirdest spots.
[124]
Yeah, it's a passageway from
the hallway to the master,
[126]
which is really strange.
[128]
We either need to close this door
[130]
or put in a hallway.
Yeah.
[132]
[Ned] I'm kind of feeling the hallway.
[133]
I'm feeling the hallway, too.
[134]
And as much as I love it,
[136]
I think we might need to
get rid of our paneling.
[139]
It's like an '80s den.
[141]
This is your house, Bean.
[143]
You have a house.
[144]
Well, now he's licking his balls, so.
[146]
Here is our lovely little
two steps down to...
[149]
[Ariel] Our little stairs.
[150]
[Ned] Beautiful carpet.
[151]
[Ariel] This carpet is going bye-bye.
[154]
[Ned] This is the nastiest carpet
[155]
I've ever seen.
I'm kind of wondering
[156]
what's underneath it.
[157]
Dead bodies.
A stack of cash.
[158]
Cash, spiders.
[159]
A whole lot of boogers.
[161]
A lot of boogers.
[162]
That's how they made it stick.
[164]
Yeah.
[164]
As far as master bathrooms
go, it's kind of...
[168]
[Ariel] Oh, it's teeny.
[169]
It's kind of small.
It's teeny-tiny.
[170]
It's a very exciting project.
[171]
We're planning on expanding
the exterior walls
[174]
of the master bedroom.
[175]
All that dirt spot outside,
[178]
it's going to be bathroom.
[180]
This is the kitchen here,
[181]
and it needs a lot of work.
[183]
These cabinets, get them out of there.
[185]
It looks nasty.
[187]
We're gonna take out all of this,
[189]
all that, all this,
[190]
but it's gonna turn into an entire
[192]
open kitchen concept.
[194]
[Ariel] I like this countertop.
[194]
Like the marble with the gold faucets.
[197]
Yeah, that is nice.
Classy.
[198]
That's a classy look.
[199]
Brass, brass faucets.
Brass, not gold.
[200]
The actual kitchen part of
it is gonna go over here.
[203]
Yeah.
[204]
[Ariel] And then, like three steps away
[206]
we're gonna have an island.
[207]
It's like boom, boom, boom.
[208]
I'm cooking, serving, island.
[211]
Eat-in island.
[212]
Eat-in island
So like an island
[213]
where you can sit.
[215]
It's just means you can eat on it.
[216]
What have we done,
Ariel? What have we done!
[219]
We own this house now.
[221]
I like it!
I like it, too.
[224]
But it's so much work.
[226]
Yes, hold me, Bean.
[228]
I need you to take a deep breath.
[230]
You're right.
[231]
I can't have you freaking out.
[231]
No, you're right.
[233]
Okay.
[234]
I'm excited to tear some stuff down.
[235]
Me too.
[236]
It's demo time!
[269]
Ew, it's like all mold, this.
[272]
It's like, how many decades worth of poops
[275]
have been in here?
[286]
[Ariel] You got it.
[292]
Here we go.
[295]
There it goes.
[305]
Kick!
[306]
That was good ninja kick.
[307]
[Ned] Yeah, that was awesome.
[309]
We have destroyed a lot.
[310]
Yeah.
[311]
But maybe our first DIY project could be
[314]
the sticky front door?
[315]
Yes!
[317]
Hey, Ariel.
[318]
Oh, Jesus, oh my goodness, okay.
[323]
You're doing great, sweetie!
[337]
[Ariel] No, that's not the
way you're supposed to do it!
[340]
Look out.
[341]
I'm pretty sure that
[342]
you just spread rat
turds all over the floor.
[345]
Ew, what?
[347]
Now we're going to finish the door
[348]
with this beautiful rich blue paint.
[350]
[Together] Ooh, yeah.
[353]
I'm getting some fumes, Ariel.
[355]
Would it make you feel better
if I put on a respirator?
[357]
Yeah.
[358]
Maybe I should just paint it and you can
[361]
give me feedback from...
[363]
Ned, that's like really thick.
[365]
What you actually...
Can you just like...
[367]
No, you're not doing it right.
[368]
I...
[369]
No, you're like actually
not doing it right.
[371]
Look at mine.
[372]
Can you just get over there?
[374]
Okay, okay, just look at mine.
[375]
you could see the lines there.
[376]
Can you just like...
[377]
But you can see the lines in it.
[379]
Maybe I need a respirator.
[381]
It doesn't fit, I don't think it fits.
[384]
See you got it way too thick here.
[387]
You got it too thick.
[388]
[Ned] Okay.
[389]
Seriously, seriously dizzy right now.
[396]
Every single time.
[397]
[Ariel] There we go.
[398]
[Ned] Oh yeah.
[399]
Hold that for me.
[402]
Well look at you.
[413]
What do you think of this?
[414]
Ariel, where are we
gonna put that knocker?
[415]
I like that knocker.
[416]
[Ariel] It's like, right there.
[417]
Is that too small?
[421]
No, I think it's good.
Too low?
[422]
No.
Too low?
[422]
Nope.
Too high.
[423]
Nope.
[424]
How do we tell how high is too high?
[426]
[Ariel] Perfect.
[427]
All right, let's check it out.
[431]
It looks great!
It's nice!
[432]
It's so much better than it was.
[434]
Well, Mrs. Fulmer, are you ready
to check out our new house?
[438]
[Ariel] Yes, I am.
Yep.
[447]
It's a work-in progress.
[448]
It's a start.
[449]
How are you feeling right now?
[449]
I feel good.
[451]
I'm happy to eat.
[452]
That was a tiring day.
[454]
That was a long day.
[455]
There's so many things
happening in our life right now.
[457]
I know.
[458]
And having a baby would
be crazy enough, but
[461]
to think about how our lives
will change having a baby...
[464]
[Ariel] And having a new house.
[465]
And having a new house.
[467]
It feels really special that
[470]
this place is ours.
[473]
And ours alone.
[475]
And we can do whatever we want.
[476]
Right.
[477]
Also when I think about how far we've come
[480]
on this journey...
[481]
Honey, we've been looking for
houses for like two years.
[483]
[Ariel] I know.
[484]
[Ned] A couple of weeks ago
we were seeing a mansion
[486]
that we totally couldn't afford.
[487]
[Ariel] But love.
[488]
[Ned] But love, then we
were able to compromise
[490]
on our needs versus our wants.
[492]
And when we put the new
door on our entrance
[494]
[Ariel] Yeah.
[494]
It was like, for just
a moment, I was like,
[496]
"Ah, this is what it's like!"
[499]
I felt that way the minute
we knocked through the wall.
[502]
[Ned] Cracking through some
of these walls was pretty fun.
[505]
This house might not be
perfect for everyone but.
[507]
[Ariel] It's perfect for us.
[508]
[Ned] It's perfect for us, yeah.
[510]
I like that.
[512]
It better be!
[513]
'Cause this baby is coming,
whether we like it or not.
[516]
That was my boob, but...
[517]
That was your boob?
No, I'm joking.
[523]
How's your chicken?
[525]
[Ned] Oh, really good.
[530]
[Ariel] Well that's unsafe.
[532]
Yeah, I think this whole thing's unsafe.
