1
00:00:01,896 --> 00:00:03,413
She's one of the funniest
people on the planet,

2
00:00:03,413 --> 00:00:05,000
but those closest
to Melissa McCarthy

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,206
know her for having
a huge heart.

4
00:00:06,206 --> 00:00:07,931
- Hey!
- Hi!

5
00:00:07,931 --> 00:00:09,000
Slow-motion run.

6
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,482
Are we doing this
in slow motion?

7
00:00:10,482 --> 00:00:11,931
And she's showing it
to the world

8
00:00:11,931 --> 00:00:13,620
by giving back
to her aunt and uncle...

9
00:00:13,620 --> 00:00:15,413
They were
career police officers,

10
00:00:15,413 --> 00:00:17,241
spent their whole life
taking care of other people.

11
00:00:17,241 --> 00:00:19,000
...who also
happen to be her heroes.

12
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,137
My Uncle Jim was injured
on the job.

13
00:00:21,137 --> 00:00:22,724
They did not have
an easy time of it.

14
00:00:22,724 --> 00:00:23,862
She's teaming up with us...

15
00:00:23,862 --> 00:00:25,620
Kumite!

16
00:00:25,620 --> 00:00:26,758
...and her cousin Jenna...

17
00:00:26,758 --> 00:00:27,896
I love it!

18
00:00:27,896 --> 00:00:29,689
With that much excitement,
we take it away.

19
00:00:29,689 --> 00:00:32,241
...to pull off
an emotional home makeover...

20
00:00:33,896 --> 00:00:35,000
Yep, I'm in.

21
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,172
See here the brown. <i>Oh, that's nice!</i>

22
00:00:37,172 --> 00:00:39,241
...that will not only
surprise her family...

23
00:00:39,241 --> 00:00:40,551
Home sweet home!

24
00:00:40,551 --> 00:00:42,068
Oh, my gosh!

25
00:00:42,068 --> 00:00:44,034
...but change their lives.

26
00:00:44,034 --> 00:00:46,655
Thank you, guys.
Oh, my God, thanks.

27
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,074



28
00:01:00,137 --> 00:01:03,068
On a scale of 1 to 10,
how funny am I?

29
00:01:03,068 --> 00:01:05,413
Funny-looking or like
Melissa McCarthy?

30
00:01:05,413 --> 00:01:07,206
Could I keep up
with Melissa?

31
00:01:07,206 --> 00:01:10,275
You know, I think
you're good at what you do,

32
00:01:10,275 --> 00:01:11,896
and she's good
at what she does.

33
00:01:11,896 --> 00:01:14,862
She's won two Emmy awards,
a Golden Globe.

34
00:01:14,862 --> 00:01:17,241
She's been nominated
for Oscars.

35
00:01:17,241 --> 00:01:20,172
And she's actually
renovated many, many houses.

36
00:01:20,172 --> 00:01:21,689
Actually, so she can
kind of do what you do.

37
00:01:21,689 --> 00:01:23,275
I just don't think
you can do what she does.

38
00:01:23,275 --> 00:01:26,068
I think it's pretty incredible
that she wants to do something

39
00:01:26,068 --> 00:01:28,310
this amazing
for her aunt and uncle.

40
00:01:28,310 --> 00:01:30,000
They've been a big influence
in her life.

41
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,827
I'm just glad that
we can be a part of it.

42
00:01:31,827 --> 00:01:34,689
And here we go.
This is it here.
All right.

43
00:01:34,689 --> 00:01:36,172
It's a gorgeous neighborhood.

44
00:01:36,172 --> 00:01:37,620
It actually reminds me
of where we grew up,

45
00:01:37,620 --> 00:01:39,344
except a little quieter.

46
00:01:39,344 --> 00:01:40,344
- Hey!
- Hi!

47
00:01:40,344 --> 00:01:41,379
Hello!

48
00:01:41,379 --> 00:01:42,896
Slow-motion run.

49
00:01:42,896 --> 00:01:44,413
Are we doing this
in slow motion?

50
00:01:44,413 --> 00:01:45,758
Is that how it works?

51
00:01:45,758 --> 00:01:47,655
Good to see you.

52
00:01:47,655 --> 00:01:50,586
Hi! Oh, my God, it's so
weird to have you here.

53
00:01:50,586 --> 00:01:51,862
I know.

54
00:01:51,862 --> 00:01:53,413
It is so quiet
and peaceful here.

55
00:01:53,413 --> 00:01:55,482
Oh, yeah.
Welcome to a sea of cops.

56
00:01:55,482 --> 00:01:56,827
It's a cop neighborhood.

57
00:01:56,827 --> 00:01:58,482
The downside is I was gonna
pay for this renovation

58
00:01:58,482 --> 00:02:00,620
by doing a couple BNEs
around here, so maybe...

59
00:02:00,620 --> 00:02:02,965
Best of luck. 40 people will
come out and take you down.

60
00:02:02,965 --> 00:02:05,000
So all over here, cops.

61
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,586
Lots of cops.
Steve is our family.

62
00:02:06,586 --> 00:02:08,655
And you've played a cop,
- too, by the way.
- I've played a cop.

63
00:02:08,655 --> 00:02:11,827
I've not played a nun, which I
also have a lot of in my family.

64
00:02:11,827 --> 00:02:13,275
Wait, where does
the nun come from?

65
00:02:13,275 --> 00:02:15,758
It's an Irish Catholic family.
It's cops and nuns.

66
00:02:15,758 --> 00:02:18,344
One was a cop and a nun
and nurse at the same time.

67
00:02:18,344 --> 00:02:20,000
It sounds like a setup
to a joke.

68
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,689
Get this. So, there's a cop,
a nun, and a nurse.

69
00:02:21,689 --> 00:02:24,379
And it's the same person!
And her name's Aunt Sally!

70
00:02:24,379 --> 00:02:26,448
We haven't even taken
one step inside the house,

71
00:02:26,448 --> 00:02:28,551
and I can tell this
is gonna be a fun project.

72
00:02:28,551 --> 00:02:30,517
My Aunt Connie
and my Uncle Jim live here,

73
00:02:30,517 --> 00:02:33,068
and I think it's time for
the green-grass carpet to go.

74
00:02:33,068 --> 00:02:34,931
It looks nice.
Like, it looks like... Oh, it is nice.

75
00:02:34,931 --> 00:02:36,379
the garden is updated,
everything is pretty.

76
00:02:36,379 --> 00:02:37,620
And they're really great.

77
00:02:37,620 --> 00:02:39,310
But it's just that
they haven't changed it.

78
00:02:39,310 --> 00:02:40,482
It's a big undertaking.

79
00:02:40,482 --> 00:02:41,793
When we were
talking to you

80
00:02:41,793 --> 00:02:44,275
and you said you have
the perfect candidate

81
00:02:44,275 --> 00:02:47,034
to give back to,
why was it your aunt and uncle?

82
00:02:47,034 --> 00:02:49,965
Ah, they're career-long
police officers.

83
00:02:49,965 --> 00:02:52,034
They've spent their whole life
taking care of other people,

84
00:02:52,034 --> 00:02:54,758
and they're like
real superheroes to me.

85
00:02:54,758 --> 00:02:56,379
And my Uncle Jim was
hurt on the job,

86
00:02:56,379 --> 00:02:57,586
and there's just
some things

87
00:02:57,586 --> 00:02:59,586
that make it difficult
for him to get around.

88
00:02:59,586 --> 00:03:01,206
So it's needed for them,

89
00:03:01,206 --> 00:03:04,896
and I couldn't think of anyone
else that deserves it more.

90
00:03:04,896 --> 00:03:08,758
Getting the chance to do this
for my Aunt Connie and Uncle Jim

91
00:03:08,758 --> 00:03:10,310
is so amazing.

92
00:03:10,310 --> 00:03:13,068
They're two of just
the kindest people,

93
00:03:13,068 --> 00:03:14,724
and they don't put
themselves first.

94
00:03:14,724 --> 00:03:16,862
It's just not who they are.

95
00:03:16,862 --> 00:03:18,965
Melissa is
my brother's daughter.

96
00:03:18,965 --> 00:03:22,586
She's my niece, and she's
one of us-- one of the family.

97
00:03:22,586 --> 00:03:24,931
She's a McCarthy!

98
00:03:24,931 --> 00:03:27,172
They were
career police officers.

99
00:03:27,172 --> 00:03:30,413
You're spending your whole life
in service of other people.

100
00:03:30,413 --> 00:03:32,448
We worked together
for over three years.

101
00:03:32,448 --> 00:03:34,517
She was there when I needed her.

102
00:03:34,517 --> 00:03:37,758
I was there when she needed me,
and we worked together.

103
00:03:37,758 --> 00:03:39,482
And we're still
doing it now.

104
00:03:39,482 --> 00:03:41,275
We're still doing it.

105
00:03:41,275 --> 00:03:44,137
My Uncle Jim was injured
on the job.

106
00:03:44,137 --> 00:03:45,758
He never says anything about it,

107
00:03:45,758 --> 00:03:48,620
but they did not have
an easy time of it.

108
00:03:48,620 --> 00:03:50,620
He was paralyzed
from the waist down,

109
00:03:50,620 --> 00:03:52,344
and that's not easy
to handle.

110
00:03:52,344 --> 00:03:55,103
Your life changes
in a blink of an eye.

111
00:03:55,103 --> 00:03:57,724
I remember right after
the operation, I says,

112
00:03:57,724 --> 00:04:00,137
"Doc, do you think
I'll ever walk again?"

113
00:04:00,137 --> 00:04:03,758
And he says, "It's up to you.
It's entirely up to you."

114
00:04:03,758 --> 00:04:07,620
And he just drove through it
until he was able to stand

115
00:04:07,620 --> 00:04:09,517
and then, eventually,
walk again.

116
00:04:09,517 --> 00:04:10,793
And he is a hero.

117
00:04:10,793 --> 00:04:13,344
He's definitely
this family's hero.

118
00:04:13,344 --> 00:04:15,758
Connie and Uncle Jim
look to the positive.

119
00:04:15,758 --> 00:04:18,448
They look and see what they
do have and how lucky they are.

120
00:04:18,448 --> 00:04:21,000
It's really easy to give back
to two people

121
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,551
that have done nothing but give.

122
00:04:22,551 --> 00:04:25,068
So from the lesson
that they've taught me,

123
00:04:25,068 --> 00:04:27,172
it made me want to give.

124
00:04:27,172 --> 00:04:30,068
It's their 35th anniversary.
They never go away.

125
00:04:30,068 --> 00:04:32,000
They never take vacations
for themselves.

126
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,931
We have slightly
aggressively said,

127
00:04:33,931 --> 00:04:35,172
"You're going on vacation!"

128
00:04:35,172 --> 00:04:37,482
They were like,
"Oh, my God. Okay!"

129
00:04:37,482 --> 00:04:38,931
How long did you
get them out for?

130
00:04:38,931 --> 00:04:40,689
Three weeks.
It's the best I could do.

131
00:04:40,689 --> 00:04:42,724
Try telling someone
to leave for a month.

132
00:04:42,724 --> 00:04:44,689
It starts to get
real fishy.

133
00:04:44,689 --> 00:04:46,206
Why don't we get inside
and have a little look.

134
00:04:46,206 --> 00:04:47,448
Okay!

135
00:04:47,448 --> 00:04:48,517
Okay.

136
00:04:48,517 --> 00:04:49,586
Hello, Jenna!

137
00:04:49,586 --> 00:04:51,413
Hi! Welcome!

138
00:04:51,413 --> 00:04:54,241
Hello! Oh, wow, you were not
joking about the green...

139
00:04:54,241 --> 00:04:55,586
I know....the sea of green.

140
00:04:55,586 --> 00:04:59,000
Jonathan, Drew,
this is my cousin Jenna.

141
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,620
- Hey, hey, hey.
- Nice to see you.

142
00:05:00,620 --> 00:05:02,586
So, hold it-- So, you grew up
in this house.

143
00:05:02,586 --> 00:05:05,275
So your mom and dad bought
this house before you were born.

144
00:05:05,275 --> 00:05:07,965
Before I was born,
my whole childhood

145
00:05:07,965 --> 00:05:09,620
and young adulthood
was spent here.

146
00:05:09,620 --> 00:05:12,448
Like true Irish Catholic,
the green carpet was put in

147
00:05:12,448 --> 00:05:15,000
before my first
communion, green tile.

148
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,655
But then my dad got injured,
and the tile on the floor

149
00:05:17,655 --> 00:05:19,827
just kind of fell to the wayside
and had to stay.

150
00:05:19,827 --> 00:05:22,758
She tried to kind of
redecorate with a carpet
on top of a carpet.

151
00:05:22,758 --> 00:05:24,655
Now they've become
total hazard.

152
00:05:24,655 --> 00:05:26,275
Just a trip hazard
for him, yeah.

153
00:05:26,275 --> 00:05:27,310
It's treacherous.

154
00:05:27,310 --> 00:05:28,793
What do you think
your mom and dad

155
00:05:28,793 --> 00:05:29,793
would have wanted
to do here?

156
00:05:29,793 --> 00:05:31,413
I think we agree--
open it up

157
00:05:31,413 --> 00:05:33,517
because not only is
it Sundays with family,

158
00:05:33,517 --> 00:05:36,103
it's my mom and dad love
having their friends over.

159
00:05:36,103 --> 00:05:39,206
She's locked in there,
and everybody else is out here.

160
00:05:39,206 --> 00:05:41,482
To open that all up and actually
hang with your friends.

161
00:05:41,482 --> 00:05:43,482
It's that old-school way
of designing homes

162
00:05:43,482 --> 00:05:44,793
to keep the kitchen isolated,

163
00:05:44,793 --> 00:05:46,482
but then the person
feels like they're trapped

164
00:05:46,482 --> 00:05:48,172
and not a part
of all the activity.

165
00:05:48,172 --> 00:05:50,793
You want to be able to have
everybody as a part of it.

166
00:05:50,793 --> 00:05:55,137
We're from a big Irish
crazy family-- said lovingly.

167
00:05:55,137 --> 00:05:57,551
And this is where people come.
Like, she cooks for people.

168
00:05:57,551 --> 00:05:59,827
They lots of people over.
They have their friends over.

169
00:05:59,827 --> 00:06:01,724
And they just need
a better space to do it.

170
00:06:01,724 --> 00:06:02,827
How about
the dining space?

171
00:06:02,827 --> 00:06:04,724
Does this work for you
and the family?

172
00:06:04,724 --> 00:06:06,758
- Not really.
- Not six chairs.

173
00:06:06,758 --> 00:06:09,206
She got this table
from someone my aunt knew,

174
00:06:09,206 --> 00:06:10,896
and the chairs
from a garage sale.

175
00:06:10,896 --> 00:06:12,034
- Which aunt?
- Aunt Sally.

176
00:06:12,034 --> 00:06:14,620
Aunt Sally.
She was the cop/nun/nurse.

177
00:06:14,620 --> 00:06:17,000
- Oh, Aunt Sally.
- Giving her a shout-out.

178
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,655
The house
has got potential.

179
00:06:18,655 --> 00:06:20,034
Totally 'cause
the light's good.

180
00:06:20,034 --> 00:06:21,482
It's nice, big windows.

181
00:06:21,482 --> 00:06:24,103
Nothing's bad on its own, but
altogether, it does get dark.

182
00:06:24,103 --> 00:06:25,620
Lighting's gonna be huge.

183
00:06:25,620 --> 00:06:28,034
I compulsively
knock down houses.
Oh, really?

184
00:06:28,034 --> 00:06:30,206
I was gonna try to say it
in a more flattering way.

185
00:06:30,206 --> 00:06:32,000
I don't know if there's a way
to say it more flattering.

186
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,586
We do it together a lot.

187
00:06:33,586 --> 00:06:35,344
So you're like
the construction cousins.

188
00:06:35,344 --> 00:06:37,000
Oh!

189
00:06:38,827 --> 00:06:40,103
I would watch
that show.

190
00:06:40,103 --> 00:06:42,758
I can only imagine
Melissa and Jenna as kids.

191
00:06:42,758 --> 00:06:45,551
Even as adults, you can tell
that they're troublemakers.

192
00:06:45,551 --> 00:06:47,034
I really want you
to show us the kitchen

193
00:06:47,034 --> 00:06:48,517
because I think
everything's got to go.

194
00:06:48,517 --> 00:06:50,379
It's a little dark.

195
00:06:50,379 --> 00:06:52,655
The space does not
feel like them at all.

196
00:06:52,655 --> 00:06:55,103
No, it doesn't.
- They're really fun.
- Yeah.

197
00:06:55,103 --> 00:06:56,344
They don't like
traditional?

198
00:06:56,344 --> 00:06:57,620
They like traditional,

199
00:06:57,620 --> 00:07:00,413
but I would say, like, they're
more updated traditional.

200
00:07:00,413 --> 00:07:01,724
It's bigger in here
than I thought it would be.

201
00:07:01,724 --> 00:07:03,103
I mean, they have
an island in here.

202
00:07:03,103 --> 00:07:04,310
Again, from Aunt Sally.

203
00:07:04,310 --> 00:07:06,000
Sally?
She knows some people.

204
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,275
It's still falling
off the tracks.

205
00:07:07,275 --> 00:07:09,448
I don't know about that one.
She was a nun.

206
00:07:09,448 --> 00:07:11,482
Sorry, Aunt Sally,
I didn't mean that.

207
00:07:11,482 --> 00:07:12,931
What's your mom like
when she's in the kitchen?

208
00:07:12,931 --> 00:07:15,482
Does she like to cook with
people or just for people?

209
00:07:15,482 --> 00:07:17,206
It is like a family affair.

210
00:07:17,206 --> 00:07:18,931
Everybody's involved,
but here,

211
00:07:18,931 --> 00:07:21,379
because of the tight space,
it's like, "Get out!"

212
00:07:22,896 --> 00:07:24,344
Where does your dad sit
when he's sitting with her?

213
00:07:24,344 --> 00:07:26,517
He sits right there.
He sits at the island,

214
00:07:26,517 --> 00:07:28,965
does his crosswords,
helps her if he can.

215
00:07:28,965 --> 00:07:31,586
How cool would it be to
have actual breakfast-bar
seating, though?

216
00:07:31,586 --> 00:07:33,206
It would be amazing.
It would change his life.

217
00:07:33,206 --> 00:07:34,689
They've been together
35 years,

218
00:07:34,689 --> 00:07:37,103
and to watch them,
how they talk to each other...

219
00:07:37,103 --> 00:07:39,241
They're always each other's
best friends.

220
00:07:39,241 --> 00:07:40,517
They're each other's
partners.
Yeah.

221
00:07:40,517 --> 00:07:43,275
The fact that Jim,
for 35 years,

222
00:07:43,275 --> 00:07:45,482
sits at the edge of the
countertop in the kitchen

223
00:07:45,482 --> 00:07:48,000
just to be with Connie
while she cooks-- that's love.

224
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,931
Yeah, exactly, and so anything
we can do to enhance that,

225
00:07:50,931 --> 00:07:53,793
to make that special time
together even more special,

226
00:07:53,793 --> 00:07:55,137
is what we want
to focus on.

227
00:07:55,137 --> 00:07:57,551
You're thinking of how you
want to open this up

228
00:07:57,551 --> 00:07:58,551
and redo this space?

229
00:07:58,551 --> 00:08:00,206
Is this where you
want to focus?

230
00:08:00,206 --> 00:08:03,862
I just want to literally,
like, Hulk the walls out.

231
00:08:03,862 --> 00:08:05,758
This, I just--

232
00:08:05,758 --> 00:08:07,103
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my gosh!

233
00:08:07,103 --> 00:08:09,482
Oh, my God!
Oh!

234
00:08:09,482 --> 00:08:11,862
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

235
00:08:11,862 --> 00:08:13,448
The demo has started!

236
00:08:13,448 --> 00:08:15,586
Okay, well, we're definitely
gonna use you for demolition.

237
00:08:15,586 --> 00:08:17,413
Sure, sure, I'm in.

238
00:08:17,413 --> 00:08:19,034
Chicago does have a lot of

239
00:08:19,034 --> 00:08:20,724
really strict rules
about things.

240
00:08:20,724 --> 00:08:23,172
And you've got a section
of islands here that's
blocking the door,

241
00:08:23,172 --> 00:08:25,517
so we would not be allowed
to cover it like this.

242
00:08:25,517 --> 00:08:27,793
I'd actually prefer
to maybe do,

243
00:08:27,793 --> 00:08:29,586
like, a slider
or something over here.

244
00:08:29,586 --> 00:08:30,655
All that light
would come in.

245
00:08:30,655 --> 00:08:32,517
Oh, my God,
that would be amazing.

246
00:08:32,517 --> 00:08:35,172
I feel we could make this
a lot more conducive to cooking

247
00:08:35,172 --> 00:08:37,448
and a lot better for
entertaining family and friends.

248
00:08:37,448 --> 00:08:39,620
It is not a slight
to your mom and dad

249
00:08:39,620 --> 00:08:42,137
to say this kitchen
is hideously ugly.

250
00:08:43,620 --> 00:08:44,862
It's well-maintained.

251
00:08:44,862 --> 00:08:46,206
You said it, not me.

252
00:08:46,206 --> 00:08:48,724
We didn't say it.
They seem terrible.

253
00:08:50,413 --> 00:08:53,275
From everything you've said,
they are just this fun-loving,

254
00:08:53,275 --> 00:08:55,517
amazing couple
who wants to entertain.

255
00:08:55,517 --> 00:08:57,689
And if this area's important,
then we got to nail it.

256
00:08:57,689 --> 00:08:59,931
- This is her sanctuary.
- Oh, my God,
this is her space.

257
00:08:59,931 --> 00:09:01,275
It's the heart
of her home.

258
00:09:01,275 --> 00:09:03,448
100% sounds like we need
to focus a lot of our energy

259
00:09:03,448 --> 00:09:06,206
right here in the kitchen, but
between this, the living room,

260
00:09:06,206 --> 00:09:07,827
and the dining room
in only three weeks,

261
00:09:07,827 --> 00:09:08,931
I mean, that is
a lot of work to do.

262
00:09:08,931 --> 00:09:10,241
That is making me nervous.

263
00:09:10,241 --> 00:09:14,689
I do have one other little
additional note.

264
00:09:14,689 --> 00:09:16,482
It's like a tiny... Just little.

265
00:09:16,482 --> 00:09:19,000
You know we like to design,
and we were just talking,

266
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,793
And we thought maybe we
could show you something.

267
00:09:21,793 --> 00:09:23,172
Okay, just show us
what you're talking about.

268
00:09:23,172 --> 00:09:24,655
Yeah, this is getting
awkward now.

269
00:09:25,896 --> 00:09:29,896
Okay, so, if the kitchen
is where my mom lives,

270
00:09:29,896 --> 00:09:32,862
this is 100%
where my dad lives.

271
00:09:32,862 --> 00:09:35,689
This is his space.
This is his chair.

272
00:09:35,689 --> 00:09:37,862
The chair is very
special to him.

273
00:09:37,862 --> 00:09:39,172
When he learned
how to walk again,

274
00:09:39,172 --> 00:09:42,482
came home from the hospital,
he was in his chair.

275
00:09:42,482 --> 00:09:44,413
This is where he sleeps
and takes naps,

276
00:09:44,413 --> 00:09:46,931
watches the games,
listens to music.

277
00:09:46,931 --> 00:09:48,896
So, because of the recliner,
is that better for his back?

278
00:09:48,896 --> 00:09:50,034
- Yes.
- Okay.

279
00:09:50,034 --> 00:09:52,172
- This is what he does.
- Yep, give a little demo.

280
00:09:52,172 --> 00:09:55,620
This is his-- oh!
It really doesn't give.

281
00:09:57,344 --> 00:09:59,172
It's not as fluffy
as it looks.

282
00:09:59,172 --> 00:10:03,379
There should be a lot more
plushness to what happened.

283
00:10:03,379 --> 00:10:04,655
Okay, I need
to try this now.

284
00:10:04,655 --> 00:10:06,448
You need help
out of there? Okay.

285
00:10:06,448 --> 00:10:07,896
- It's falling apart.
- What the heck?

286
00:10:07,896 --> 00:10:09,413
I know!
It's falling apart.

287
00:10:09,413 --> 00:10:11,931
That's some heavy sports
watching right there.

288
00:10:11,931 --> 00:10:14,241
- Oh, that is not comfy.
- It's not comfy.

289
00:10:14,241 --> 00:10:16,724
He deserves comfort, and
I'm telling you from two seconds

290
00:10:16,724 --> 00:10:17,965
in that chair,
that's not comfort.

291
00:10:17,965 --> 00:10:20,068
So I would love to maybe
try and find something

292
00:10:20,068 --> 00:10:21,620
that's an even nicer recliner.

293
00:10:21,620 --> 00:10:23,517
I mean, it's seen its day.
It's time.

294
00:10:23,517 --> 00:10:25,586
I'm not gonna lie--
a whole other space

295
00:10:25,586 --> 00:10:28,241
and with only three weeks,
that's making it even tighter.

296
00:10:28,241 --> 00:10:29,379
And because of what
we're doing down here,

297
00:10:29,379 --> 00:10:30,793
I would definitely
want to do something

298
00:10:30,793 --> 00:10:31,931
with this fireplace façade.

299
00:10:31,931 --> 00:10:33,310
That sounds like
a great idea.

300
00:10:33,310 --> 00:10:36,241
We need to get all the furniture
and everything out.

301
00:10:36,241 --> 00:10:37,862
We need to start
working on the plan.

302
00:10:37,862 --> 00:10:39,482
We want to make it
perfect for them.

303
00:10:39,482 --> 00:10:42,620
We have a tight
three weeks, so here's the plan.

304
00:10:42,620 --> 00:10:44,482
Connie loves to cook
and entertain,

305
00:10:44,482 --> 00:10:47,034
so we want to give her
an open concept.

306
00:10:47,034 --> 00:10:49,758
And we'll also lose the door
in the kitchen

307
00:10:49,758 --> 00:10:51,620
and contrast
dark-green cabinetry

308
00:10:51,620 --> 00:10:55,517
with white stone counters
and a huge island for hosting

309
00:10:55,517 --> 00:10:59,241
or cherished morning coffee with
Jim to truly make this a cozy

310
00:10:59,241 --> 00:11:01,137
and stylish culinary oasis,

311
00:11:01,137 --> 00:11:04,586
while a new slider, windows, and
textured herringbone hardwood

312
00:11:04,586 --> 00:11:06,862
will make the living room
both functional for Jim

313
00:11:06,862 --> 00:11:09,344
and stylish for Connie's
holiday guests.

314
00:11:09,344 --> 00:11:13,620
If upstairs is Connie's castle,
downstairs is Jim's man cave.

315
00:11:13,620 --> 00:11:16,689
Straight-run hardwood leads
to a transformed fireplace

316
00:11:16,689 --> 00:11:19,000
featuring plaster
to cover the old brick

317
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,827
and a new stone hearth.

318
00:11:20,827 --> 00:11:23,275
A TV wall with modern
built-in cabinetry

319
00:11:23,275 --> 00:11:25,758
and a stylish-meets-comfortable
new recliner

320
00:11:25,758 --> 00:11:27,793
will make the perfect
retreat for Jim

321
00:11:27,793 --> 00:11:30,965
to watch his cherished Bears
while relaxing with Connie.

322
00:11:30,965 --> 00:11:32,448
Thanks for letting us
be a part of this.

323
00:11:32,448 --> 00:11:33,724
Oh, my God,
thank you so much!

324
00:11:33,724 --> 00:11:35,620
When you're dealing
with two cops,

325
00:11:35,620 --> 00:11:38,137
getting them out of this house
for three weeks

326
00:11:38,137 --> 00:11:40,620
was a lot of fast talking.

327
00:11:40,620 --> 00:11:43,206
I'm slightly terrified
that they'll come back early.

328
00:11:43,206 --> 00:11:45,586
Their cop Spidey senses
might tingle.

329
00:11:45,586 --> 00:11:47,137
- Crazy!
- Oh, gosh.

330
00:11:47,137 --> 00:11:49,655
We could all be in
a lot of trouble.

331
00:11:49,655 --> 00:11:51,551
We're not just
making over a bathroom here.

332
00:11:51,551 --> 00:11:55,206
This is kitchen, living room,
dining room, man cave.

333
00:11:55,206 --> 00:11:57,586
We have to touch
every aspect of this home

334
00:11:57,586 --> 00:11:58,931
if we're gonna make it
something truly profound.

335
00:12:08,206 --> 00:12:10,034
What process would you
go through

336
00:12:10,034 --> 00:12:12,620
to get in the character
of being a contractor?

337
00:12:12,620 --> 00:12:15,034
I'd go just quietly
in the corner,

338
00:12:15,034 --> 00:12:17,034
and then--

339
00:12:17,034 --> 00:12:18,310
You will...

340
00:12:19,448 --> 00:12:21,034
Whoa, whoa,
there we go!

341
00:12:21,034 --> 00:12:22,931
I did it!

342
00:12:22,931 --> 00:12:24,655
- Look for nails.
- Gonna put that down.

343
00:12:24,655 --> 00:12:26,137
Oh, my God,
it came right out!

344
00:12:26,137 --> 00:12:27,344
Oh!

345
00:12:27,344 --> 00:12:28,758
Three!

346
00:12:28,758 --> 00:12:30,068
Hey!

347
00:12:30,068 --> 00:12:31,758
Wait!

348
00:12:31,758 --> 00:12:33,172
Oh, my gosh!

349
00:12:33,172 --> 00:12:35,344
- I've been here for awhile.
- I'm the shortest one!

350
00:12:35,344 --> 00:12:37,724
Melissa doesn't just play a
badass in some of her movies.

351
00:12:37,724 --> 00:12:38,793
Aah!

352
00:12:38,793 --> 00:12:40,103
God, that felt good!

353
00:12:40,103 --> 00:12:41,689
She was hard-core!

354
00:12:44,413 --> 00:12:45,448
Actually, Jenna,
as well...

355
00:12:45,448 --> 00:12:46,517
Yes!

356
00:12:46,517 --> 00:12:47,931
...she was, like,
right in there.

357
00:12:47,931 --> 00:12:49,724
I love it!

358
00:12:49,724 --> 00:12:52,862
With that much excitement,
we take it away.

359
00:12:52,862 --> 00:12:55,172
This is a new
dynamic demo duo,

360
00:12:55,172 --> 00:12:57,413
and I think we should take them
on the road with us.

361
00:12:57,413 --> 00:13:00,931
Oh, my God!

362
00:13:03,379 --> 00:13:05,413
I want to bring down
the peach beast.

363
00:13:05,413 --> 00:13:06,965
Whoo! Okay.

364
00:13:09,275 --> 00:13:11,655
My God, going at a wall
with a sledgehammer--

365
00:13:11,655 --> 00:13:13,655
it's beyond cathartic.

366
00:13:13,655 --> 00:13:15,413
It's super satisfying.

367
00:13:16,827 --> 00:13:19,172
This is so crazy.

368
00:13:19,172 --> 00:13:21,655
3...2...1...

369
00:13:21,655 --> 00:13:22,827
Kumite!

370
00:13:26,758 --> 00:13:28,931
Some muscle!

371
00:13:30,448 --> 00:13:32,206
Oh!
All right, ready?

372
00:13:34,862 --> 00:13:36,758
That's crazy.

373
00:13:36,758 --> 00:13:38,103
It seems huge!

374
00:13:38,103 --> 00:13:40,241
Now you're in here
where she spends all her time,

375
00:13:40,241 --> 00:13:42,448
and you're looking at trees
and a pretty street.

376
00:13:42,448 --> 00:13:44,413
I do think there's
something to, like, lightening

377
00:13:44,413 --> 00:13:48,103
and changing your house,
giving that a fresh spin.

378
00:13:48,103 --> 00:13:50,103
Every day they come home,
they're gonna feel like,

379
00:13:50,103 --> 00:13:51,551
"What's happened?"

380
00:13:51,551 --> 00:13:53,344
Oh, God,
it's just coming out.

381
00:13:53,344 --> 00:13:57,241
And having even that be
such a point of joy for them,

382
00:13:57,241 --> 00:13:59,310
it's quite a treat.

383
00:13:59,310 --> 00:14:01,275
That's nuts!

384
00:14:01,275 --> 00:14:02,827
I don't miss it!

385
00:14:02,827 --> 00:14:04,655
You know what, guys?
I miss it a little.

386
00:14:04,655 --> 00:14:06,379
It feels like I just
want to...

387
00:14:06,379 --> 00:14:07,965
Limbo it?
Oh!

388
00:14:07,965 --> 00:14:09,758
There's no way--
you cannot get that low.

389
00:14:09,758 --> 00:14:12,931
Oh, my gosh!

390
00:14:12,931 --> 00:14:14,827
That is the ugliest limbo
- I've ever seen.
- I sat on a nail!

391
00:14:14,827 --> 00:14:16,206
We're not just
opening up walls here.

392
00:14:16,206 --> 00:14:17,586
I mean, there's a lot
of work to do.

393
00:14:17,586 --> 00:14:19,965
We have to run new
electrical, new plumbing.

394
00:14:19,965 --> 00:14:21,620
It's a lot to do
in three weeks.

395
00:14:21,620 --> 00:14:24,103
The house has
never been updated.

396
00:14:24,103 --> 00:14:25,965
That means there's even more
that we have to do to make sure

397
00:14:25,965 --> 00:14:27,517
that it's gonna be
up with today's code,

398
00:14:27,517 --> 00:14:29,344
but it's also gonna be
up with today's trends.

399
00:14:29,344 --> 00:14:30,896
But even with all this work
we have to do...

400
00:14:30,896 --> 00:14:32,310
Oh, my gosh,
you're a machine!

401
00:14:32,310 --> 00:14:33,896
...we have the luck of
the Irish on our side,

402
00:14:33,896 --> 00:14:35,206
and we're gonna get
this thing done.

403
00:14:35,206 --> 00:14:37,793
Uncle Jim's man cave has begun.

404
00:14:37,793 --> 00:14:40,586
I think they're just gonna
be totally shocked

405
00:14:40,586 --> 00:14:43,344
once they realize
they've not been robbed.

406
00:14:50,413 --> 00:14:52,344
I love superhero demo.
Pwah!

407
00:14:52,344 --> 00:14:53,551
It's gonna take us
a couple of days

408
00:14:53,551 --> 00:14:55,137
to figure out the
structural side of things,

409
00:14:55,137 --> 00:14:57,275
but we can start downstairs
priming the walls,

410
00:14:57,275 --> 00:14:58,896
prepping the fireplace
for plaster.

411
00:14:58,896 --> 00:15:00,344
Yeah, there's a lot
of work that has to happen

412
00:15:00,344 --> 00:15:02,137
just transform
this fireplace,

413
00:15:02,137 --> 00:15:04,034
so I think it's
the perfect place to start.

414
00:15:06,448 --> 00:15:08,275
As well, we need
to expand the kitchen

415
00:15:08,275 --> 00:15:10,551
so we have more prep space,
more cabinetry.

416
00:15:10,551 --> 00:15:12,965
So we're gonna remove
the door, put a window there,

417
00:15:12,965 --> 00:15:15,310
and extend our counters
all the way across.

418
00:15:19,931 --> 00:15:22,379
We have a wall!

419
00:15:28,620 --> 00:15:31,103
Three weeks is
a crazy amount of time

420
00:15:31,103 --> 00:15:34,310
to do an entire main floor
and the man cave.

421
00:15:34,310 --> 00:15:36,068
So it's gonna have
to be all hands on deck

422
00:15:36,068 --> 00:15:37,931
because we have to
get it done.

423
00:15:39,862 --> 00:15:42,793
Today, while Drew and I get
some permits finalized downtown,

424
00:15:42,793 --> 00:15:45,931
our crew is installing
a 24-foot support beam

425
00:15:45,931 --> 00:15:47,827
so we can officially
lose the dividing wall

426
00:15:47,827 --> 00:15:49,931
between the kitchen
and the rest of the space.

427
00:15:49,931 --> 00:15:51,689
And what a difference
that beam makes.

428
00:15:51,689 --> 00:15:53,103
Well, this is exactly
what Melissa wanted

429
00:15:53,103 --> 00:15:54,137
for Jim and Connie.

430
00:15:54,137 --> 00:15:55,862
Now that we have
a wide-open space,

431
00:15:55,862 --> 00:15:58,517
it's blank canvas to start
adding the features and details

432
00:15:58,517 --> 00:15:59,896
that will blow them away.

433
00:16:06,206 --> 00:16:07,724
- Hey!
- Hi!

434
00:16:07,724 --> 00:16:10,172
Melissa McCarthy has
asked us to help her give back

435
00:16:10,172 --> 00:16:12,206
to her Aunt Connie
and Uncle Jim...

436
00:16:12,206 --> 00:16:14,206
I couldn't think of anyone else
that deserves it more.

437
00:16:14,206 --> 00:16:15,448
They're just, like,
the loveliest couple.

438
00:16:15,448 --> 00:16:16,931
Kumite!

439
00:16:16,931 --> 00:16:19,344
...by transforming
their kitchen, living space,

440
00:16:19,344 --> 00:16:22,758
and Jim's man cave into
a modern and accessible oasis.

441
00:16:22,758 --> 00:16:24,862
Uncle Jim's man cave
has begun.

442
00:16:24,862 --> 00:16:27,034
Their reaction when
they come in the house--

443
00:16:27,034 --> 00:16:30,000
one, I'm hoping they're not
carrying their guns.

444
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,448
Two, there's gonna be
a sea of tears.

445
00:16:36,689 --> 00:16:39,068
With Jim and Connie's
main space opened up,

446
00:16:39,068 --> 00:16:42,827
we can put our full crew to work
in all areas of the home.

447
00:16:42,827 --> 00:16:45,310
We're gonna work on the casings
for the windows in the man cave,

448
00:16:45,310 --> 00:16:47,275
but we have to plaster
the fireplace.

449
00:16:47,275 --> 00:16:49,241
Plaster on,
plaster off.

450
00:16:49,241 --> 00:16:50,689
- I'm a pro at this.
- Very eloquent.

451
00:16:50,689 --> 00:16:52,103
Are you wanting to go
nice and smooth

452
00:16:52,103 --> 00:16:53,896
or a little bit rugged
with the finished polish?

453
00:16:53,896 --> 00:16:55,689
So, if we actually
put it on kind of the way

454
00:16:55,689 --> 00:16:57,206
you're doing it right there,
we want to get it

455
00:16:57,206 --> 00:16:59,206
so it's just above
the ridges.

456
00:16:59,206 --> 00:17:00,655
There will be
multiple coats,

457
00:17:00,655 --> 00:17:04,103
so don't worry too much about
little bumps here and there.

458
00:17:04,103 --> 00:17:05,758
Just get the coverage
for now.

459
00:17:07,896 --> 00:17:09,586
With all the major
structural work done,

460
00:17:09,586 --> 00:17:12,000
we can now rework all
the electrical in the kitchen.

461
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,448
Plus, we can move the HVAC,

462
00:17:13,448 --> 00:17:15,689
and we'll do all the plumbing
for the island.

463
00:17:15,689 --> 00:17:18,413
Chicago is very unique
because this is the only city

464
00:17:18,413 --> 00:17:20,241
we've ever worked in
where you actually have to have

465
00:17:20,241 --> 00:17:22,689
all of your wiring
for the house in metal casing.

466
00:17:22,689 --> 00:17:25,241
Yeah, I'm assuming it's from
the great Chicago fire

467
00:17:25,241 --> 00:17:27,931
back in the 1870s that
there's a lot of code here.

468
00:17:27,931 --> 00:17:29,517
They want to make sure
that there's never a massive

469
00:17:29,517 --> 00:17:30,896
fire problem
like that again.

470
00:17:30,896 --> 00:17:32,551
What do we want to do
for paint?

471
00:17:32,551 --> 00:17:34,896
Do we want to do something
that actually has

472
00:17:34,896 --> 00:17:37,137
some physical color,
or is the man cave--

473
00:17:37,137 --> 00:17:38,413
do you want to keep it
more neutral?

474
00:17:38,413 --> 00:17:40,310
I think because
this is Jim's space,

475
00:17:40,310 --> 00:17:41,793
we could go
something darker.

476
00:17:41,793 --> 00:17:43,620
My thought, too,
is if we go too light

477
00:17:43,620 --> 00:17:45,931
with the gray on the walls, it
might blend into the furniture

478
00:17:45,931 --> 00:17:47,344
'cause some of our furniture
is a light gray.

479
00:17:47,344 --> 00:17:48,689
So let's go
a little bit darker.

480
00:17:48,689 --> 00:17:50,068
"Jonathan's Smile"?

481
00:17:50,068 --> 00:17:52,517
I mean, everybody loves
Jonathan's smile.

482
00:17:52,517 --> 00:17:54,275
"McCarthy Gray"? Okay.

483
00:17:54,275 --> 00:17:56,413
The paint company's not the only
company that can name paint.

484
00:17:56,413 --> 00:17:57,413
I'm pretty good at it.

485
00:17:57,413 --> 00:18:00,000
"Drew's Breath?"That one I do not like.

486
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,931
Maybe we go somewhere
in the "McCarthy Gray"

487
00:18:02,931 --> 00:18:05,034
or the "Jonathan's Smile."

488
00:18:05,034 --> 00:18:07,000
I like "Jonathan's Smile."

489
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,034
That's the nicest thing
you've ever said to me.

490
00:18:09,034 --> 00:18:10,965
That is actually the one
that I want to go with, as well,

491
00:18:10,965 --> 00:18:13,103
and I do agree,
I have a very nice smile.

492
00:18:13,103 --> 00:18:14,793
"Drew's Breath"
is always amazing.

493
00:18:14,793 --> 00:18:17,310
It's like bubblegum drops
and rose petals.

494
00:18:17,310 --> 00:18:19,103
Clearly, you've never
smelled your own breath.

495
00:18:19,103 --> 00:18:20,896
I'm really glad Melissa
and Jenna decided to do

496
00:18:20,896 --> 00:18:23,241
the man cave area, as well,
a little something for Jim.

497
00:18:23,241 --> 00:18:26,620
Yeah, well, that means
that Jim gets the den.
Connie gets her kitchen.

498
00:18:26,620 --> 00:18:28,241
I'm thinking they're gonna be
spending a lot of time

499
00:18:28,241 --> 00:18:30,068
- in both rooms together.
- Yeah.

500
00:18:37,551 --> 00:18:39,137
We've finally begun
the paint and drywalling

501
00:18:39,137 --> 00:18:41,793
in Jim and Connie's main area.

502
00:18:41,793 --> 00:18:44,620
We're also gonna be replacing
all of the doors in the basement

503
00:18:44,620 --> 00:18:48,137
and first floor, just to ensure
a uniform look throughout.

504
00:18:51,965 --> 00:18:53,586
Melissa has to leave us
for a couple weeks

505
00:18:53,586 --> 00:18:56,344
to finish a TV project,
so I want to get her opinion

506
00:18:56,344 --> 00:18:58,931
on all the finishes for
this project before she goes.

507
00:18:58,931 --> 00:19:01,172
We could either continue
if she likes her prep space,

508
00:19:01,172 --> 00:19:02,655
have counter
go all the way around,

509
00:19:02,655 --> 00:19:04,931
or up here,
it would be all storage.

510
00:19:04,931 --> 00:19:07,551
Oh, my God, that's so pretty.
Is this a pantry inside of here?

511
00:19:07,551 --> 00:19:08,896
Yes.

512
00:19:08,896 --> 00:19:10,482
I mean, I'm crazy
about storage,

513
00:19:10,482 --> 00:19:11,965
just to be able
to put your stuff away.

514
00:19:11,965 --> 00:19:13,551
If her island's
so much bigger now,

515
00:19:13,551 --> 00:19:14,965
I think that's all
the prep space.

516
00:19:14,965 --> 00:19:16,241
She can cook to that.

517
00:19:16,241 --> 00:19:17,827
She actually has a really
great eye for design,

518
00:19:17,827 --> 00:19:19,965
and she really knows
Jim and Connie.

519
00:19:19,965 --> 00:19:21,137
So I think with us together,

520
00:19:21,137 --> 00:19:22,517
we'll come up with
something special.

521
00:19:22,517 --> 00:19:24,931
Because of the whole nod
to the Irish

522
00:19:24,931 --> 00:19:26,655
and having the
green carpeting,

523
00:19:26,655 --> 00:19:29,344
what if we put the green
in the cabinets?

524
00:19:29,344 --> 00:19:31,620
- I love these colors.
- I love that.

525
00:19:31,620 --> 00:19:33,137
This is
a little bit darker.

526
00:19:33,137 --> 00:19:34,931
Knowing the layout,
maybe we want to not go

527
00:19:34,931 --> 00:19:37,793
quite too dark,
but we could do two-tone.

528
00:19:37,793 --> 00:19:39,689
What about that with,
like, unlacquered brass?

529
00:19:39,689 --> 00:19:41,034
Ooh!
Ooh!

530
00:19:42,655 --> 00:19:44,379
Wait a minute.
Somebody knows.

531
00:19:44,379 --> 00:19:46,137
Yeah, if only
I had a top hat

532
00:19:46,137 --> 00:19:48,241
that I could do that with,
too, at the same time.

533
00:19:48,241 --> 00:19:49,620
I redo houses all the time,

534
00:19:49,620 --> 00:19:53,172
but my aunt and uncle's house
means a lot to them.

535
00:19:53,172 --> 00:19:55,551
This has been their home
for 35 years,

536
00:19:55,551 --> 00:19:58,689
and I have a feeling
that they're gonna think,

537
00:19:58,689 --> 00:20:00,137
"We shouldn't have had this.

538
00:20:00,137 --> 00:20:02,793
This should go to
somebody else," which, to me,

539
00:20:02,793 --> 00:20:05,689
made it all the better
that it's going to them.

540
00:20:05,689 --> 00:20:07,655
But if we did go lighter
on the counters,

541
00:20:07,655 --> 00:20:08,896
this is the actual slab,
so you can see what

542
00:20:08,896 --> 00:20:09,965
the full slab looks like.

543
00:20:09,965 --> 00:20:11,034
Oh, I love that one.

544
00:20:11,034 --> 00:20:13,551
It looks like real marble,
but it's not.

545
00:20:13,551 --> 00:20:15,275
It's Neolith Sintered Stone.

546
00:20:15,275 --> 00:20:17,655
It's a man-made product.
It actually recycles material.

547
00:20:17,655 --> 00:20:19,172
So you have stone, you have
everything crushed into it,

548
00:20:19,172 --> 00:20:21,379
and it's impervious to
whatever you throw at it.

549
00:20:21,379 --> 00:20:22,655
I love this stuff.

550
00:20:22,655 --> 00:20:24,896
That kitchen's gonna get
a lot of action, so that's good.

551
00:20:24,896 --> 00:20:26,206
Whoa!
Not in a creepy way.

552
00:20:26,206 --> 00:20:28,172
- Yeah.
- I said that as if
they're swingers.

553
00:20:28,172 --> 00:20:29,931
It sounded
a little creepy,

554
00:20:29,931 --> 00:20:31,724
and then you bit your lip
when you said it.

555
00:20:31,724 --> 00:20:33,862
Yeah, and then I added
the word "swingers."

556
00:20:33,862 --> 00:20:36,482
So now I'm just--
I'm really ratting them out...

557
00:20:36,482 --> 00:20:37,551
I mean, it could have
been worse.

558
00:20:37,551 --> 00:20:38,896
...for lifestyles
they don't lead.

559
00:20:38,896 --> 00:20:41,103
Flooring.
Yes, yes.

560
00:20:41,103 --> 00:20:43,206
This is just, like,
a nice, smooth finish,

561
00:20:43,206 --> 00:20:45,482
but I worry that
it might be still

562
00:20:45,482 --> 00:20:47,448
a little bit
too slippery for Jim.

563
00:20:47,448 --> 00:20:51,655
So my thought is if we
go to a deeper grain,

564
00:20:51,655 --> 00:20:53,379
you can see that
there's a texture in there.

565
00:20:53,379 --> 00:20:55,000
And we could do something
like this throughout.

566
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,931
You can feel that
there's more grip to that.

567
00:20:56,931 --> 00:21:00,965
Yes, there is. It's funny,
I usually don't go this light,

568
00:21:00,965 --> 00:21:03,000
but I just did this light
in something,

569
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,551
and the amount of light
that reflects is amazing.

570
00:21:06,551 --> 00:21:07,655
Oh, God!

571
00:21:09,103 --> 00:21:10,172
My eyes!

572
00:21:10,172 --> 00:21:11,482
Aah! So, right--

573
00:21:11,482 --> 00:21:13,448
I can't see
without my glasses.

574
00:21:13,448 --> 00:21:15,965
You know what we could do,
though, is on the main floor,

575
00:21:15,965 --> 00:21:18,310
I can get this pre-cut
for a herringbone pattern.

576
00:21:18,310 --> 00:21:19,827
So we could do this
in a herringbone pattern...

577
00:21:19,827 --> 00:21:21,172
...on the upper level,

578
00:21:21,172 --> 00:21:23,068
and then nice wide planks
on the lower level,

579
00:21:23,068 --> 00:21:24,344
- so it's a little different.
- Oh, I love that.

580
00:21:24,344 --> 00:21:26,172
- It would be beautiful.
- I love a herringbone floor.

581
00:21:26,172 --> 00:21:27,793
You know, I think
a lot of times, people think

582
00:21:27,793 --> 00:21:29,413
you have to sacrifice style

583
00:21:29,413 --> 00:21:31,551
if you want something
to be safe or vice versa.

584
00:21:31,551 --> 00:21:34,103
And it's not true. You can have
the best of both worlds.

585
00:21:34,103 --> 00:21:35,275
It would be beautiful,

586
00:21:35,275 --> 00:21:36,620
it would be stylish,
but it would be safe.

587
00:21:36,620 --> 00:21:38,034
You just have to understand
what products

588
00:21:38,034 --> 00:21:39,137
are gonna accomplish that.

589
00:21:39,137 --> 00:21:41,241
This will not only
delight them.

590
00:21:41,241 --> 00:21:43,620
It will actually really
change their whole world.

591
00:21:43,620 --> 00:21:45,172
It's bigger than
just being pretty.

592
00:21:45,172 --> 00:21:47,344
Like me-- bigger than
just being pretty.

593
00:21:47,344 --> 00:21:48,724
Guys, it's true,

594
00:21:48,724 --> 00:21:51,620
no matter what everybody says,
and everybody says it.

595
00:21:51,620 --> 00:21:53,379
What? There's people
talking about me?

596
00:21:53,379 --> 00:21:55,172
Hmm? What's that?
I can't hear you.

597
00:21:55,172 --> 00:21:56,724
All right, put your
glasses on, L.A.

598
00:21:56,724 --> 00:21:58,068
I got to go
back to work.

599
00:22:12,931 --> 00:22:14,758
With less than
two weeks left to complete

600
00:22:14,758 --> 00:22:18,551
Jim and Connie's home makeover,
we're really hitting our stride.

601
00:22:18,551 --> 00:22:20,000
Today Drew, myself,

602
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,827
and the crew are putting down
all the flooring

603
00:22:21,827 --> 00:22:24,448
in both the main space
and Jim's man cave.

604
00:22:24,448 --> 00:22:28,310
We're also re-facing the stairs.

605
00:22:28,310 --> 00:22:30,482
I think it's kind of a cool
way to tie the spaces together,

606
00:22:30,482 --> 00:22:32,448
using the same style
of hardwood,

607
00:22:32,448 --> 00:22:35,000
same color down
below in Jim's area,

608
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,344
except doing it
in a straight run.

609
00:22:36,344 --> 00:22:37,827
That's what I did
in my house, too.

610
00:22:37,827 --> 00:22:40,103
The main floor, the living area,
is all the herringbone.

611
00:22:40,103 --> 00:22:42,310
And upstairs
is just straight run.

612
00:22:42,310 --> 00:22:44,689
It ties in perfectly,
but it's a different feel.

613
00:22:44,689 --> 00:22:47,137
Knowing that they're gonna be
using this space to entertain

614
00:22:47,137 --> 00:22:49,206
and have those
big family gatherings,

615
00:22:49,206 --> 00:22:51,827
this is like a little extra
something special.

616
00:22:51,827 --> 00:22:53,379
I'm just surprised
that you didn't say

617
00:22:53,379 --> 00:22:55,448
that I have to lay
the whole floor myself.

618
00:22:55,448 --> 00:22:56,758
Thanks for helping me.

619
00:22:56,758 --> 00:22:58,448
The old tile
they had for flooring

620
00:22:58,448 --> 00:23:00,413
was just a slip hazard for Jim.

621
00:23:00,413 --> 00:23:02,551
The new flooring has
a little more texture to it.

622
00:23:02,551 --> 00:23:05,172
It will be safer,
and it looks beautiful.

623
00:23:05,172 --> 00:23:07,793
Connie gets her style, and Jim
gets his function and flow.

624
00:23:07,793 --> 00:23:09,275
1, 2, 3.

625
00:23:09,275 --> 00:23:11,448
We also want to make sure
that your door off the kitchen,

626
00:23:11,448 --> 00:23:12,724
you can actually
walk through...

627
00:23:12,724 --> 00:23:14,344
A little higher.
Up on you.

628
00:23:14,344 --> 00:23:16,241
...instead of having to
- crawl over a countertop.
- What a concept!

629
00:23:16,241 --> 00:23:17,758
This side needs
to go a little further.

630
00:23:17,758 --> 00:23:20,827
There you go.
Looks pretty good there.

631
00:23:20,827 --> 00:23:24,000
But even with all this work we
have to do in only three weeks,

632
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,965
when we're done,
it's gonna be phenomenal.

633
00:23:39,275 --> 00:23:40,862
This is my favorite
part of the build.

634
00:23:40,862 --> 00:23:43,344
When the feature pieces
like kitchen cabinets come in,

635
00:23:43,344 --> 00:23:46,137
then you can really start to see
the full design come together.

636
00:23:46,137 --> 00:23:48,103
But while our crews start
assembling the cabinets,

637
00:23:48,103 --> 00:23:50,206
we want to get those
new front windows in.

638
00:23:52,275 --> 00:23:54,310
There you go.
Yep, I'm in.

639
00:23:54,310 --> 00:23:56,482
The windows will not only
seal the room for warmth

640
00:23:56,482 --> 00:23:58,034
The bottom has to
go in more.

641
00:23:58,034 --> 00:24:00,310
...but also add a ton of
natural light to help
brighten up the space.

642
00:24:00,310 --> 00:24:01,689
Oh, there we go.
That's way better.

643
00:24:01,689 --> 00:24:03,482
...adding both
style and function.

644
00:24:03,482 --> 00:24:04,965
- How's the bottom?
- The bottom was fine.

645
00:24:04,965 --> 00:24:06,724
The top had to come out
a little bit.

646
00:24:06,724 --> 00:24:09,000
That's way better.
Hold on a sec.

647
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,517
Yeah, if we pull it out there
a touch, that'll be better.

648
00:24:15,206 --> 00:24:17,034
Connie loves sitting here
in front of the windows,

649
00:24:17,034 --> 00:24:18,344
so this is great.

650
00:24:18,344 --> 00:24:19,793
It won't feel like
the cold's on, either.

651
00:24:19,793 --> 00:24:21,172
The old windows that were
here-- you wouldn't be able

652
00:24:21,172 --> 00:24:22,724
to sit in front of the window
in the middle of winter.

653
00:24:22,724 --> 00:24:24,206
You'd just get a chill.

654
00:24:24,206 --> 00:24:27,137
Now we can finish
tackling Connie's kitchen.

655
00:24:27,137 --> 00:24:29,137
Pop it in.

656
00:24:29,137 --> 00:24:31,586
Definitely a weight
to this one.

657
00:24:31,586 --> 00:24:33,965
We have been told
that Connie loves to cook.

658
00:24:33,965 --> 00:24:37,448
And so this has to be
a kitchen that is perfect
for the chef in her.

659
00:24:37,448 --> 00:24:39,482
For somebody who's
such an incredible chef,

660
00:24:39,482 --> 00:24:41,827
you want to be able to smell
the wonderful smells that are

661
00:24:41,827 --> 00:24:44,103
coming out of the kitchen
and not have it all closed off.

662
00:24:44,103 --> 00:24:46,862
I can already picture
Connie right here.

663
00:24:46,862 --> 00:24:50,000
This is her domain. She actually
has room to move now.

664
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,655
That's exactly
where you'll be seeing Jim,

665
00:24:51,655 --> 00:24:53,517
just sitting and watching
while she cooks.

666
00:24:53,517 --> 00:24:55,758
They can entertain. They can
have all the family here.

667
00:24:55,758 --> 00:24:58,275
And the light coming through
is incredible.

668
00:25:06,068 --> 00:25:07,724
You're in my
personal bubble.

669
00:25:07,724 --> 00:25:09,689
Hey, I was here first.

670
00:25:09,689 --> 00:25:11,241
These custom cabinets
in the kitchen

671
00:25:11,241 --> 00:25:13,000
are gonna transform everything

672
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,551
because there's so much storage
and all the function.

673
00:25:15,551 --> 00:25:17,931
We've got special little details
that are gonna make life easier.

674
00:25:17,931 --> 00:25:19,413
When everything's closed,

675
00:25:19,413 --> 00:25:21,793
then it looks like just a nice,
clean wall of the panels.

676
00:25:21,793 --> 00:25:24,206
But then when it's open,
you can get better access.

677
00:25:24,206 --> 00:25:26,137
What do you think of the
detail on the cabinets?

678
00:25:26,137 --> 00:25:28,068
That's awesome.
I like that thin frame.

679
00:25:28,068 --> 00:25:29,965
But I also love the color.
It's stunning.

680
00:25:29,965 --> 00:25:32,551
And there's a contrasting
detail down here, too.

681
00:25:32,551 --> 00:25:35,793
Connie loves to cook, so now
she has storage solutions.

682
00:25:35,793 --> 00:25:38,724
She has style. The cabinets
have that beautiful green tone.

683
00:25:38,724 --> 00:25:40,137
They have never had
so much function

684
00:25:40,137 --> 00:25:41,655
and style in their kitchen.

685
00:25:41,655 --> 00:25:44,068
Connie's wanted to have some
style in this home for 35 years,

686
00:25:44,068 --> 00:25:45,689
so it's about time
we do this.

687
00:25:45,689 --> 00:25:47,620
This is really what I do best.

688
00:25:47,620 --> 00:25:50,172
- I'm terrified!
- I have no words.

689
00:25:50,172 --> 00:25:52,448
We have gutted their house.

690
00:25:52,448 --> 00:25:55,413
McCarthy's are kind of known
for ugly crying.

691
00:25:55,413 --> 00:25:57,275
Here we go, home sweet home.

692
00:25:57,275 --> 00:25:58,482
I just can't wait
for them to see it.

693
00:25:58,482 --> 00:26:00,137
Oh, my God!

694
00:26:00,137 --> 00:26:01,827
We're in the wrong house!

695
00:26:12,965 --> 00:26:14,482
We only have a week left before

696
00:26:14,482 --> 00:26:16,793
Jim and Connie arrive back
from their vacation.

697
00:26:16,793 --> 00:26:18,896
And although things
are coming together,

698
00:26:18,896 --> 00:26:20,620
there's still
a lot of work to do.

699
00:26:20,620 --> 00:26:21,827
Hold--
There we go.

700
00:26:21,827 --> 00:26:23,413
We're adding some warmth
to Jim's man cave

701
00:26:23,413 --> 00:26:25,689
by installing wood paneling
on one wall.

702
00:26:25,689 --> 00:26:28,000
And because he loves music,
we're building

703
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,137
a custom media cabinet
that will house a new turntable

704
00:26:31,137 --> 00:26:33,103
and his doo-wop
record collection.

705
00:26:33,103 --> 00:26:35,689
Oof, that is a good,
heavy slab.

706
00:26:35,689 --> 00:26:37,206
For Connie's culinary passion,

707
00:26:37,206 --> 00:26:39,034
we have her
new countertops arriving.

708
00:26:39,034 --> 00:26:40,344
Let's bring in the big guy.

709
00:26:40,344 --> 00:26:43,586
Wait, I thought
that <i>was</i> the big guy.

710
00:26:43,586 --> 00:26:47,241
Are you guys good?
All right. Watch your step.

711
00:26:47,241 --> 00:26:48,931
This huge
quartz island will help

712
00:26:48,931 --> 00:26:51,137
transform Connie's
cooking experience.

713
00:26:51,137 --> 00:26:52,655
1, 2, 3.

714
00:26:52,655 --> 00:26:56,000
This remodel is gonna change
their day-to-day lives.

715
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,275
All right,
fingers in there?

716
00:26:59,275 --> 00:27:01,620
They have dreamed
of having an island.

717
00:27:01,620 --> 00:27:04,275
But before, they just had this
tiny little furniture piece.

718
00:27:04,275 --> 00:27:05,586
This is gorgeous.

719
00:27:05,586 --> 00:27:07,379
Knowing, as well, that we're
gonna have the two panels

720
00:27:07,379 --> 00:27:09,620
on the side,
create that waterfall look.

721
00:27:09,620 --> 00:27:11,655
Full storage on the
backside, too. This is great.

722
00:27:11,655 --> 00:27:13,000
Once we get
the finished detail here

723
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,413
and our posts and
everything in, that's it.

724
00:27:16,413 --> 00:27:18,103
That looks so nice.

725
00:27:18,103 --> 00:27:19,413
Oh, I love the
honed finish, too.

726
00:27:19,413 --> 00:27:21,034
I actually didn't know
you were gonna do that.

727
00:27:21,034 --> 00:27:25,172
Let's take a look.

728
00:27:25,172 --> 00:27:26,896
Ready?

729
00:27:29,172 --> 00:27:30,344
Sweet.

730
00:27:30,344 --> 00:27:31,586
Oh, my gosh.
That's gorgeous.

731
00:27:31,586 --> 00:27:34,068
And now Connie's
facing the action.

732
00:27:34,068 --> 00:27:35,862
Jim's sitting here
doing a crossword,

733
00:27:35,862 --> 00:27:37,724
drinking some coffee.

734
00:27:37,724 --> 00:27:39,620
I think we've actually
given them everything

735
00:27:39,620 --> 00:27:41,103
Melissa said they wanted.

736
00:27:44,689 --> 00:27:46,344
The right appliances
are essential

737
00:27:46,344 --> 00:27:49,862
to making Connie's
perfect kitchen.

738
00:27:49,862 --> 00:27:51,241
Having to unload them
from the truck

739
00:27:51,241 --> 00:27:54,034
on a wet and cold Chicago day,
not as perfect.

740
00:27:54,034 --> 00:27:56,241
Whoo! It's not so much fun
in the rain.

741
00:27:56,241 --> 00:27:58,655
However, for Connie and Jim, I'm
willing to brave the elements.

742
00:27:58,655 --> 00:27:59,689
Just take it from here.

743
00:27:59,689 --> 00:28:01,965
The elements?
It's like a little rain.

744
00:28:01,965 --> 00:28:03,344
The big guy!

745
00:28:03,344 --> 00:28:05,793
Trust me, not a single little
hair on your head was affected.

746
00:28:05,793 --> 00:28:07,517
Yeah, says the guy
who stayed in the truck.

747
00:28:07,517 --> 00:28:09,000
You make a good point.

748
00:28:23,586 --> 00:28:25,310
We're less than one week away

749
00:28:25,310 --> 00:28:28,034
from Melissa McCarthy's
aunt and uncle's return.

750
00:28:28,034 --> 00:28:31,000
She wants this makeover to be
the surprise of a lifetime.

751
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,689
So we're checking off
every box on her wish list.

752
00:28:34,689 --> 00:28:37,793
While our Chicago crew adds some
of the final puzzle pieces,

753
00:28:37,793 --> 00:28:39,206
it's time for
Jonathan and me

754
00:28:39,206 --> 00:28:41,965
to make the most important
purchase of this renovation...

755
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,551
...Jim's reclining chair.

756
00:28:52,275 --> 00:28:54,413
This is more than just
a chair we're looking for.

757
00:28:54,413 --> 00:28:55,551
Lots to choose from.

758
00:28:55,551 --> 00:28:57,000
This is Jim's throne.

759
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,620
Jim's space, but Connie still
has a little say for the style.

760
00:29:00,620 --> 00:29:02,965
And there's like
a million different styles.

761
00:29:02,965 --> 00:29:06,586
Oh! This one rocks.
Literally, it rocks.

762
00:29:06,586 --> 00:29:08,379
Oh, rock and roll!

763
00:29:08,379 --> 00:29:09,620
That's cool.
I've never seen that.

764
00:29:09,620 --> 00:29:11,103
Those are nice.

765
00:29:11,103 --> 00:29:13,413
Because black leather is not
exactly where they want to go,

766
00:29:13,413 --> 00:29:14,965
I think this style
here is cool.

767
00:29:14,965 --> 00:29:17,034
It's a little more
slim lines.

768
00:29:17,034 --> 00:29:18,586
Well, if you get something
like the chestnut,

769
00:29:18,586 --> 00:29:20,275
it's gonna contrast with
the other furniture that's gray.

770
00:29:20,275 --> 00:29:22,379
This is nice.
Even though
that is beautiful.

771
00:29:22,379 --> 00:29:23,896
Yeah, I mean,
that will be the toss-up.

772
00:29:23,896 --> 00:29:25,103
This will blend in nicely,

773
00:29:25,103 --> 00:29:26,551
but this is
a beautiful contrast.

774
00:29:26,551 --> 00:29:28,448
Oh, actually,
so is the fabric.

775
00:29:28,448 --> 00:29:31,448
It's hard 'cause this
is something he's gonna
spend a lot of time in,

776
00:29:31,448 --> 00:29:33,655
so we do not want to,
you know, get it wrong.

777
00:29:33,655 --> 00:29:36,068
Jim had a real emotional bond
with his chair.

778
00:29:36,068 --> 00:29:37,586
This is not just
a piece of furniture

779
00:29:37,586 --> 00:29:39,068
we're gonna be replacing.

780
00:29:39,068 --> 00:29:41,068
It's gonna be the spot
where Jim can watch the Bears.

781
00:29:41,068 --> 00:29:43,413
He can listen to his music.
He needs to sleep in it, too.

782
00:29:43,413 --> 00:29:46,000
So we really need to spend
the time to get it right.

783
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,655
Why don't we call Melissa
and see what she says?

784
00:29:47,655 --> 00:29:49,586
Hello!

785
00:29:49,586 --> 00:29:51,206
<i>Hi! How are you?</i>

786
00:29:51,206 --> 00:29:54,586
I'm great! We are shopping
for the chair for Jim.

787
00:29:54,586 --> 00:29:56,827
<i>Ooh, that's a biggie.
The chair means a lot.</i>

788
00:29:56,827 --> 00:29:58,068
We've narrowed it down
to two options

789
00:29:58,068 --> 00:29:59,172
that we think
would be great.

790
00:29:59,172 --> 00:30:00,310
<i>Oh, cool.</i>

791
00:30:00,310 --> 00:30:01,896
Connie wanted it
to be less bulky,

792
00:30:01,896 --> 00:30:03,344
maybe a little less traditional,

793
00:30:03,344 --> 00:30:06,344
but we thought, definitely, we
want to go with power operation

794
00:30:06,344 --> 00:30:08,034
so he doesn't have
to worry about anything.

795
00:30:08,034 --> 00:30:09,931
The good thing here is if you
look at the chair that he's on,

796
00:30:09,931 --> 00:30:11,896
it's actually
a stylish Saxon chair.

797
00:30:11,896 --> 00:30:14,206
It's not your typical
bulky, traditional look.

798
00:30:14,206 --> 00:30:16,310
<i>It doesn't look like
it comes with a cooler.</i>

799
00:30:16,310 --> 00:30:17,896
Exactly. <i>I like it.</i>

800
00:30:17,896 --> 00:30:19,793
We have it in another
leather over here.

801
00:30:19,793 --> 00:30:23,000
Hold on one second.
See here the brown.

802
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,206
<i>Oh, that's nice!</i>

803
00:30:24,206 --> 00:30:25,965
You'll notice the
profile in this chair,

804
00:30:25,965 --> 00:30:27,448
as well, is a little bit
more contemporary.

805
00:30:27,448 --> 00:30:30,137
It's nice and clean, whereas
the other one had a turned edge.

806
00:30:30,137 --> 00:30:32,448
One other option.
See this recliner?

807
00:30:32,448 --> 00:30:35,724
It's got rounded arms,
so it's a little different.

808
00:30:35,724 --> 00:30:37,965
It's a fabric, too,
so it's not a leather.

809
00:30:37,965 --> 00:30:39,551
So what do you think
he would prefer?

810
00:30:39,551 --> 00:30:41,689
<i>I think he would
prefer the brown.</i>

811
00:30:41,689 --> 00:30:43,931
<i>He sleeps on it a lot
because it's better</i>

812
00:30:43,931 --> 00:30:45,413
<i>for his neck and back,</i>

813
00:30:45,413 --> 00:30:47,448
<i>and I think the leather
will wear well,</i>

814
00:30:47,448 --> 00:30:49,724
<i>And I like the lines
of the brown leather one.</i>

815
00:30:49,724 --> 00:30:52,758
Well, I can tell you,
as a large guy with a bad back,

816
00:30:52,758 --> 00:30:54,793
this is a very
comfortable chair.

817
00:30:54,793 --> 00:30:58,172
<i>Is it really comfy?
That's the main thing.</i>

818
00:30:58,172 --> 00:31:01,068
<i>I want him to be able
to be super, super comfy in it.</i>

819
00:31:01,068 --> 00:31:03,172
And it has the technology,
so it's easy for him to recline.

820
00:31:03,172 --> 00:31:04,758
Oh, and best of all,
it's not ripped open,

821
00:31:04,758 --> 00:31:06,103
so you can't see the insides.

822
00:31:06,103 --> 00:31:08,034
<i>Are you sure?
I don't know.</i>

823
00:31:08,034 --> 00:31:10,172
<i>I think they were going for
a deconstructed look.</i>

824
00:31:11,448 --> 00:31:12,862
So you're good with this one?
We'll grab this?

825
00:31:12,862 --> 00:31:14,724
<i>I think the brown leather one
is the way to go.</i>

826
00:31:14,724 --> 00:31:15,862
Okay,
we'll talk to you soon.

827
00:31:15,862 --> 00:31:17,068
<i>All right. Bye, guys!</i>

828
00:31:17,068 --> 00:31:18,551
Bye!

829
00:31:18,551 --> 00:31:21,482
This chair is gonna look
perfect in Jim's new man cave.

830
00:31:28,655 --> 00:31:31,724
We are less than 24 hours away
from a very special surprise

831
00:31:31,724 --> 00:31:34,034
for Melissa McCarthy's Aunt
Connie and Uncle Jim.

832
00:31:34,034 --> 00:31:35,103
Watch your back.

833
00:31:35,103 --> 00:31:36,620
I'm glad Melissa's
really helping.

834
00:31:36,620 --> 00:31:38,931
So Melissa and her cousin Jenna
are back to help us

835
00:31:38,931 --> 00:31:40,482
with the final
finishing touches.

836
00:31:40,482 --> 00:31:43,241
- This is really what I do best.
- You're just testing it, right?

837
00:31:43,241 --> 00:31:45,137
We're not done yet!

838
00:31:45,137 --> 00:31:46,689
I'm terrified!

839
00:31:46,689 --> 00:31:48,068
I have no words.

840
00:31:48,068 --> 00:31:52,448
I am excited. I'm nervous.
But I'm like-- I'm thrilled.

841
00:31:52,448 --> 00:31:54,655
I know it's gonna be great,
but until I see them,

842
00:31:54,655 --> 00:31:57,827
I'm just like,
"We have gutted their house."

843
00:31:57,827 --> 00:32:00,000
Yeah.
So it is a little like,
"What have we done?

844
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,241
What have we done?
What have we done?"

845
00:32:01,241 --> 00:32:02,310
I'm of no help.

846
00:32:03,655 --> 00:32:05,206
Some green.

847
00:32:05,206 --> 00:32:06,827
Oh, gosh.

848
00:32:06,827 --> 00:32:07,931
Guys--
Do you chop them?

849
00:32:07,931 --> 00:32:09,448
Are you for or against
chopping?

850
00:32:09,448 --> 00:32:10,793
Jim is gonna love this.

851
00:32:10,793 --> 00:32:12,793
Hey, Jim's supposed to be
the first one to try this.

852
00:32:12,793 --> 00:32:14,793
I just want to make sure
it's working.

853
00:32:14,793 --> 00:32:16,206
It's quality control.
Quality control.

854
00:32:16,206 --> 00:32:19,000
It is always the debate, though,
'cause sometimes, you know,

855
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,241
dad's chair is the
ugliest thing in the room.

856
00:32:21,241 --> 00:32:22,241
I know.

857
00:32:22,241 --> 00:32:23,862
- This is beautiful.
- This is fancy.

858
00:32:23,862 --> 00:32:25,724
- He's gonna love this room.
- He might never leave it.

859
00:32:25,724 --> 00:32:29,931
Who says a man cave cannot
be a beautiful space?

860
00:32:29,931 --> 00:32:32,241
I got it.
Is there a pattern
you want?

861
00:32:32,241 --> 00:32:34,482
Why don't we do maybe
the green in the back?

862
00:32:34,482 --> 00:32:35,965
This is a big
Irish family.

863
00:32:35,965 --> 00:32:37,793
I mean, I can't believe
that this was the rock

864
00:32:37,793 --> 00:32:39,931
for the whole family getting
together for the holidays.

865
00:32:39,931 --> 00:32:41,793
This is gonna
blow Connie's mind.

866
00:32:41,793 --> 00:32:43,275
I think that Connie's
gonna come in here,

867
00:32:43,275 --> 00:32:45,344
and she's just gonna be rubbing
this countertop like this,

868
00:32:45,344 --> 00:32:46,655
over and over.

869
00:32:46,655 --> 00:32:48,482
There's gonna be some
counter hugging, like this.

870
00:32:48,482 --> 00:32:50,931
Well, especially knowing
that Jim had no leg room before.

871
00:32:50,931 --> 00:32:55,931
How a big guy could have
one inch of knee room...

872
00:32:55,931 --> 00:32:57,379
I love that bench.

873
00:32:57,379 --> 00:32:58,620
Now when you're
in the kitchen,

874
00:32:58,620 --> 00:33:01,517
you can see people in the
living room or dining room.

875
00:33:01,517 --> 00:33:04,689
It's really set up now
for being that family hub.

876
00:33:04,689 --> 00:33:08,241
Not only can you guys demo,
but you can also design, too.

877
00:33:08,241 --> 00:33:11,620
See? Or at least
put things on a table. Yeah.

878
00:33:11,620 --> 00:33:13,137
Win, win, win.

879
00:33:13,137 --> 00:33:15,586
Can you believe you're actually
standing where there was a wall?

880
00:33:15,586 --> 00:33:18,482
- We took that bad boy down.
- You did what I always do.

881
00:33:18,482 --> 00:33:20,689
Jon goes like, "Well, we'll see
if it's in the budget to"--

882
00:33:20,689 --> 00:33:22,862
Pow! It's now
in the budget.

883
00:33:22,862 --> 00:33:23,931
Yeah.

884
00:33:23,931 --> 00:33:25,034
What's their reaction
gonna be?

885
00:33:25,034 --> 00:33:26,103
- Screams.
- Scream

886
00:33:26,103 --> 00:33:27,551
Scream, then cry.

887
00:33:27,551 --> 00:33:29,724
And the McCarthys are kind of
known-- I don't want to brag--

888
00:33:29,724 --> 00:33:30,862
but for ugly crying.

889
00:33:30,862 --> 00:33:32,413
It's not an attractive cry.

890
00:33:32,413 --> 00:33:34,931
It's the kind of crying that you
should do, like, in your car,

891
00:33:34,931 --> 00:33:37,000
like, alone, behind a mall.

892
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,827
With a sweater that you--

893
00:33:39,827 --> 00:33:41,034
Like--

894
00:33:41,034 --> 00:33:43,241
Well, I look forward
to seeing this ugly cry.

895
00:33:43,241 --> 00:33:45,034
But it's joy.
It's happy ugly.

896
00:33:45,034 --> 00:33:47,379
I just can't wait for them
to see it. This is...

897
00:33:47,379 --> 00:33:49,896
It's made it all worth it.
All the lies are worth it.

898
00:33:49,896 --> 00:33:52,758
I think it's gonna be great.
I hope.

899
00:33:52,758 --> 00:33:54,620
I know it's gonna be great
but until I see it,

900
00:33:54,620 --> 00:33:59,862
until I see them see it,
it might a bit of a clambake.

901
00:33:59,862 --> 00:34:01,517
- My heart is definitely.
- I know.

902
00:34:01,517 --> 00:34:03,275
Oh, it is!

903
00:34:18,931 --> 00:34:20,689
We have this
all planned out.

904
00:34:20,689 --> 00:34:23,172
Melissa and Jenna are gonna
drive up with Connie and Jim,

905
00:34:23,172 --> 00:34:24,551
bring them into the house.

906
00:34:24,551 --> 00:34:26,586
And then after they react,
we'll sneak in.

907
00:34:26,586 --> 00:34:28,344
No peeking!
Don't peek!

908
00:34:28,344 --> 00:34:30,068
No, I won't,
I promise.

909
00:34:30,068 --> 00:34:31,206
There we go.

910
00:34:31,206 --> 00:34:33,310
Okay, welcome back
to cold Chicago.

911
00:34:33,310 --> 00:34:34,931
It's freezing.

912
00:34:34,931 --> 00:34:37,448
Oh, my God.
I'm going back to Florida.

913
00:34:37,448 --> 00:34:38,965
I wish I had gone
to Florida.

914
00:34:38,965 --> 00:34:41,172
- Thanks, Melissa.
- We'll get your bags
in a minute.

915
00:34:41,172 --> 00:34:42,517
Getting them to the door,
we're like,

916
00:34:42,517 --> 00:34:44,310
"Don't peek, don't peek,
don't peek!"

917
00:34:44,310 --> 00:34:45,896
They're like,
"What's going on?"

918
00:34:45,896 --> 00:34:48,103
I'll grab the luggage
- in one minute.
- Yay, we're home!

919
00:34:48,103 --> 00:34:50,172
- Let's just, like, get in.
- We'll get luggage in a sec.

920
00:34:50,172 --> 00:34:52,241
Here we go,
home sweet home.

921
00:34:52,241 --> 00:34:53,655
It's freezing.

922
00:34:55,103 --> 00:34:58,448
Are you kidding?

923
00:34:58,448 --> 00:34:59,931
Oh, my God!

924
00:34:59,931 --> 00:35:02,517
- Let's get inside!
- We're in the wrong house!

925
00:35:02,517 --> 00:35:04,206
Oh, my gosh!

926
00:35:18,586 --> 00:35:21,620
Okay, here we go--
home sweet home.

927
00:35:21,620 --> 00:35:24,103
It's freezing.

928
00:35:24,103 --> 00:35:27,517
Are you kidding?

929
00:35:27,517 --> 00:35:29,137
Oh, my God!

930
00:35:29,137 --> 00:35:31,137
- Let's get inside!
- We're in the wrong house!

931
00:35:31,137 --> 00:35:33,448
Isn't it pretty?
Do you like it?

932
00:35:33,448 --> 00:35:35,034
Oh my, God!

933
00:35:35,034 --> 00:35:38,034
Oh, my God!

934
00:35:41,344 --> 00:35:42,724
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

935
00:35:42,724 --> 00:35:44,344
Oh, look at
the windows!

936
00:35:44,344 --> 00:35:46,137
Look, you can sit.
You've got options.

937
00:35:46,137 --> 00:35:47,620
You've got
options bop-tions.

938
00:35:47,620 --> 00:35:49,551
Look at this island!

939
00:35:49,551 --> 00:35:50,793
Oh, my God.

940
00:35:50,793 --> 00:35:52,206
Are you kidding?

941
00:35:52,206 --> 00:35:55,379
I mean, we've been busy,
you know, two hours a day.

942
00:35:55,379 --> 00:35:57,344
That's how we--

943
00:35:57,344 --> 00:36:01,206
I put the counters in.
Jenna did all the floors.

944
00:36:01,206 --> 00:36:03,137
It took like
20 minutes a day.

945
00:36:03,137 --> 00:36:05,724
This took an army!
I mean, this house was--

946
00:36:05,724 --> 00:36:07,172
I think somebody left
their bags outside.

947
00:36:07,172 --> 00:36:09,275
Aah! You're kidding!

948
00:36:09,275 --> 00:36:10,655
You guys!

949
00:36:10,655 --> 00:36:13,379
You look just like
the guys on TV!

950
00:36:13,379 --> 00:36:14,482
How are you?

951
00:36:14,482 --> 00:36:16,482
You're gonna make me cry.
How are you?

952
00:36:16,482 --> 00:36:18,896
I hope you love
what we did.

953
00:36:18,896 --> 00:36:20,931
- Pleasure to meet you.
- Pleasure to meet you guys.

954
00:36:20,931 --> 00:36:23,931
- You did this?
- This is for you guys.

955
00:36:23,931 --> 00:36:25,034
Oh, my God.

956
00:36:25,034 --> 00:36:26,620
How are you? Aww!

957
00:36:26,620 --> 00:36:28,551
This is the mastermind
right here.

958
00:36:28,551 --> 00:36:31,413
Is there anybody better
- than Melissa McCarthy?
- I can't believe this!

959
00:36:31,413 --> 00:36:34,241
And my daughter Jenna.
Oh, my gosh.

960
00:36:34,241 --> 00:36:36,206
When you look at this kitchen,
what do you think?

961
00:36:36,206 --> 00:36:38,310
I don't remember
what it looked like!

962
00:36:46,620 --> 00:36:48,724
Would you believe
we're the people

963
00:36:48,724 --> 00:36:52,137
that had all that old junk,
and I thought I loved it!

964
00:36:52,137 --> 00:36:54,896
What is your opinion
of our--

965
00:36:54,896 --> 00:36:56,724
He did it!
It was his fault!

966
00:36:56,724 --> 00:36:59,827
I think I did
the ugly cry and screamed.

967
00:36:59,827 --> 00:37:02,068
I mean, that's always
a class act, isn't it?

968
00:37:02,068 --> 00:37:03,724
just come in and scream!

969
00:37:03,724 --> 00:37:05,896
You guys spend so much time
giving to everyone else,

970
00:37:05,896 --> 00:37:07,862
it was time for you guys to get
a little something for yourself.

971
00:37:07,862 --> 00:37:09,241
I was overwhelmed.

972
00:37:09,241 --> 00:37:13,000
I looked and I said,
"Oh, my God, this is my house?

973
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,551
We're in the wrong house!"

974
00:37:14,551 --> 00:37:15,827
They said they had help,

975
00:37:15,827 --> 00:37:17,413
but I didn't realize
this was it.

976
00:37:17,413 --> 00:37:20,551
By "help," meaning they did it,
and we just did this.

977
00:37:22,620 --> 00:37:24,275
You should see the two of them
with sledgehammers.

978
00:37:24,275 --> 00:37:25,862
We did demo
the kitchen walls.

979
00:37:25,862 --> 00:37:29,620
I have to say, I won like
several challenges in the demo.

980
00:37:29,620 --> 00:37:31,862
She deserves this,
I swear to God.

981
00:37:31,862 --> 00:37:34,551
Her life has been tough
with me,

982
00:37:34,551 --> 00:37:37,034
and, I mean,
she doesn't ask for anything.

983
00:37:37,034 --> 00:37:39,241
She's finally got a--Don't get the ugly cry.

984
00:37:39,241 --> 00:37:42,241
Among other things, she always
wanted a wooden floor.

985
00:37:42,241 --> 00:37:44,517
But this-- she deserves
all this stuff, I swear.

986
00:37:44,517 --> 00:37:45,758
Thank you,
guys, so much.

987
00:37:45,758 --> 00:37:47,068
I love coming home,

988
00:37:47,068 --> 00:37:49,551
but this is a whole new meaning
to home sweet home.

989
00:37:49,551 --> 00:37:52,103
- I hate the ugly cry!
- It's in our blood.

990
00:37:52,103 --> 00:37:54,206
It's in our genetic makeup.
We all cry.

991
00:37:54,206 --> 00:37:55,206
The McCarthys.

992
00:37:55,206 --> 00:37:56,482
Yeah.

993
00:37:56,482 --> 00:37:58,379
It's a sea of McCarthy tears!

994
00:37:58,379 --> 00:37:59,931
Yeah. I mean,
she and I cry.

995
00:37:59,931 --> 00:38:01,482
We'll be looking at,
like, a color swatch,

996
00:38:01,482 --> 00:38:02,896
and we're like,
"Oh, God, cerulean!"

997
00:38:02,896 --> 00:38:04,103
"Oh! Oh, my God,
that blush!"

998
00:38:04,103 --> 00:38:05,620
When you were
telling me about

999
00:38:05,620 --> 00:38:07,206
how your family
get-togethers go,

1000
00:38:07,206 --> 00:38:09,586
you're right, no one gets
a word in edgewise.

1001
00:38:09,586 --> 00:38:11,517
You just fight for it.
You fight for an in.

1002
00:38:11,517 --> 00:38:12,965
You're like,
"And anyway..."

1003
00:38:12,965 --> 00:38:15,103
These two are just
so deserving,

1004
00:38:15,103 --> 00:38:16,724
and they don't even think
they're deserving.

1005
00:38:16,724 --> 00:38:18,000
And that's what I love
because I like

1006
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,931
to see nice things
happen for nice people.

1007
00:38:19,931 --> 00:38:23,655
We wanted to do this because you
do everything for somebody,

1008
00:38:23,655 --> 00:38:26,724
not just family--
I mean, selfishly, we know that.

1009
00:38:26,724 --> 00:38:30,931
But you've spent your whole
lives as police officers

1010
00:38:30,931 --> 00:38:33,103
protecting people,
taking care of people,

1011
00:38:33,103 --> 00:38:37,689
and then coming home and still
being a good mom and a good dad.

1012
00:38:37,689 --> 00:38:40,034
And that is something
really remarkable,

1013
00:38:40,034 --> 00:38:41,724
and that's why
you deserve all this

1014
00:38:41,724 --> 00:38:43,586
'cause you'd never
do it for yourself.

1015
00:38:43,586 --> 00:38:46,482
This could never happen
if it was us--

1016
00:38:46,482 --> 00:38:48,379
- Touched to the core.
- Exactly.

1017
00:38:48,379 --> 00:38:50,310
Well, you guys are the
glue for this family, as well,

1018
00:38:50,310 --> 00:38:51,965
and I know you love
having people over.

1019
00:38:51,965 --> 00:38:55,068
How much more optimal
is this space now

1020
00:38:55,068 --> 00:38:56,586
for entertaining
family and friends?

1021
00:38:56,586 --> 00:38:57,620
I see it already.

1022
00:38:57,620 --> 00:38:59,862
I see, you know,
the food on the island

1023
00:38:59,862 --> 00:39:01,310
instead of pushing the island

1024
00:39:01,310 --> 00:39:03,068
over to the other side
of the room.

1025
00:39:03,068 --> 00:39:06,206
It sounds ridiculous,
but we made it work.

1026
00:39:06,206 --> 00:39:10,241
All my life, I've said
I could live in a fishbowl.

1027
00:39:10,241 --> 00:39:12,758
You gave it to me.
It's beautiful!

1028
00:39:12,758 --> 00:39:16,275
It's like the sun
is bright coming in.

1029
00:39:16,275 --> 00:39:19,137
Look, it's a dull day, and look
how beautiful this looks.

1030
00:39:19,137 --> 00:39:20,310
It's so beautiful.

1031
00:39:20,310 --> 00:39:24,448
It feels warm,
and you feel love in there.

1032
00:39:24,448 --> 00:39:27,793
You also know, like,
how they live is gonna change.

1033
00:39:27,793 --> 00:39:29,724
They've been putting up
with things for so long

1034
00:39:29,724 --> 00:39:30,965
and just dealing with it,

1035
00:39:30,965 --> 00:39:32,758
putting themselves
on the back burner.

1036
00:39:32,758 --> 00:39:36,103
And now they can be a priority
in their own lives and enjoy it.

1037
00:39:36,103 --> 00:39:37,931
One other thing that
you guys have brought up

1038
00:39:37,931 --> 00:39:39,275
that was really
important, Jim,

1039
00:39:39,275 --> 00:39:41,724
was that you have the area
on the lower level

1040
00:39:41,724 --> 00:39:42,965
that you spend
a lot of time in.

1041
00:39:42,965 --> 00:39:44,000
Yes, I do.

1042
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,413
What's important
to you down there?

1043
00:39:45,413 --> 00:39:48,827
Well, my chair. It's important
because I'm a sports fan.

1044
00:39:48,827 --> 00:39:52,172
I watch the Bears,
the Sox, the Hawks.

1045
00:39:52,172 --> 00:39:53,793
That chair is very
important to me.

1046
00:39:53,793 --> 00:39:57,310
It got me through a lot.
It was like a part of me.

1047
00:39:57,310 --> 00:39:59,793
When I got hurt,
I got nursed.

1048
00:39:59,793 --> 00:40:03,068
I was with that chair all
the time, crying at night.

1049
00:40:03,068 --> 00:40:04,793
Nobody knew it, but...

1050
00:40:04,793 --> 00:40:07,344
And I sleep
in that chair, too.

1051
00:40:07,344 --> 00:40:11,103
Because of your need
for a comfortable space,

1052
00:40:11,103 --> 00:40:13,931
we thought, well, we couldn't
just make this level perfect.

1053
00:40:13,931 --> 00:40:15,655
We wanted to do something
special for you down there, too.

1054
00:40:15,655 --> 00:40:17,206
Oh, God.
Follow me.

1055
00:40:17,206 --> 00:40:18,517
Connie and Jim,

1056
00:40:18,517 --> 00:40:20,482
they make everyone feel like
they're a part of the family.

1057
00:40:20,482 --> 00:40:21,620
Oh, my God.

1058
00:40:21,620 --> 00:40:23,724
Now I feel like we're
a part of the family, too.

1059
00:40:23,724 --> 00:40:25,137
- Oh, look at this.
- Oh, my God!

1060
00:40:25,137 --> 00:40:26,482
Oh, man!
Look at this.

1061
00:40:30,655 --> 00:40:32,586
- Oh, my God.
- It's beautiful.

1062
00:40:32,586 --> 00:40:34,586
Oh, my--
Oh, my goodness!

1063
00:40:34,586 --> 00:40:36,965
I know!
Look at your pictures!

1064
00:40:36,965 --> 00:40:39,034
Oh, it's beautiful.
Look at the record!

1065
00:40:39,034 --> 00:40:41,103
Oh, God.
Oh!

1066
00:40:46,965 --> 00:40:50,551
Oh, my God.
Thank you so much.

1067
00:40:50,551 --> 00:40:53,206
A very important thing
for you is music.

1068
00:40:53,206 --> 00:40:54,655
Oh, yes, it is.

1069
00:40:54,655 --> 00:40:56,793
So one thing we wanted
to make sure you had

1070
00:40:56,793 --> 00:40:58,896
was a custom
built-in record player.

1071
00:40:58,896 --> 00:41:01,448
Oh, jeez.

1072
00:41:01,448 --> 00:41:03,344
Jon, you're gonna
have to teach me.

1073
00:41:04,620 --> 00:41:07,827
- Have a seat right here.
- Oh, jeez, look at this.

1074
00:41:07,827 --> 00:41:10,172
Oh!

1075
00:41:10,172 --> 00:41:11,931
- This is all fully powered.
- Oh, my God.

1076
00:41:11,931 --> 00:41:13,896
The buttons are right
over there-- right here.

1077
00:41:13,896 --> 00:41:15,379
- On the bottom?
- Go ahead.

1078
00:41:15,379 --> 00:41:17,000
Start your engines.

1079
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,517
This is state-of-the-art.

1080
00:41:18,517 --> 00:41:20,482
It's beautiful.
How is it?

1081
00:41:20,482 --> 00:41:22,310
You can't go to
sleep yet.

1082
00:41:22,310 --> 00:41:24,379
This does go into
a full bed.

1083
00:41:24,379 --> 00:41:25,724
We wanted everything
about this room

1084
00:41:25,724 --> 00:41:29,034
to be about relaxation
and enjoying the game.

1085
00:41:29,034 --> 00:41:33,206
This fully tilts to any possible
angle that you would want.

1086
00:41:33,206 --> 00:41:34,310
Oh, God.

1087
00:41:34,310 --> 00:41:36,448
This is all for you.

1088
00:41:36,448 --> 00:41:39,275
What did I do
to deserve this?

1089
00:41:39,275 --> 00:41:43,103
I will say I took
a jackhammer, lovingly,

1090
00:41:43,103 --> 00:41:44,586
to your old fireplace.

1091
00:41:44,586 --> 00:41:46,206
It's the first time
I've used a jackhammer,

1092
00:41:46,206 --> 00:41:48,034
and I really enjoyed it.

1093
00:41:48,034 --> 00:41:49,862
And this big,
beautiful couch.

1094
00:41:49,862 --> 00:41:52,758
We can actually fit all five
of us on this comfortably.

1095
00:41:52,758 --> 00:41:54,482
Ooh, your challenge accepted.

1096
00:41:54,482 --> 00:41:55,793
Cuddle in here.

1097
00:41:55,793 --> 00:41:58,586
Oh, God. Now if I have
the ball game on,

1098
00:41:58,586 --> 00:42:01,448
Connie will be cooking
baby-back spareribs.

1099
00:42:01,448 --> 00:42:03,137
The ribs fall off the bone.

1100
00:42:03,137 --> 00:42:04,586
The ability to cook
like that.

1101
00:42:04,586 --> 00:42:06,517
- Oh, yeah.
- And legs like this.

1102
00:42:06,517 --> 00:42:08,000
You are a lucky fella!

1103
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,517
Hey, first time I saw her,

1104
00:42:09,517 --> 00:42:12,689
I looked at her and I said,
"Man," and I didn't know her.

1105
00:42:12,689 --> 00:42:15,000
If we're gonna make this
perfect, we need some music.

1106
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,586
Yes.

1107
00:42:16,586 --> 00:42:18,275
- Ready?
- A little doo-wop.

1108
00:42:19,896 --> 00:42:22,206
I saw you
from across the room.

1109
00:42:22,206 --> 00:42:25,862
After 35 years,
I still want to dance.

1110
00:42:28,482 --> 00:42:31,758
It absolutely melted my heart
when Jim asked Connie to dance.

1111
00:42:31,758 --> 00:42:33,931
35 years of love
for these two,

1112
00:42:33,931 --> 00:42:36,137
and he loves her just as much
as the day he met her.

1113
00:42:36,137 --> 00:42:38,758
How about this?
Is this gorgeous?

1114
00:42:38,758 --> 00:42:40,551
This is gorgeous.

1115
00:42:40,551 --> 00:42:43,586
They really are the perfect fit,
and I'm glad that we were able

1116
00:42:43,586 --> 00:42:45,034
to give them
a little something special

1117
00:42:45,034 --> 00:42:46,655
so they can keep
that love alive.

1118
00:42:46,655 --> 00:42:48,206
Not in front of
the kids, honey.

1119
00:42:48,206 --> 00:42:50,068
It's a family show!

1120
00:42:50,068 --> 00:42:51,931
The way they make me feel,

1121
00:42:51,931 --> 00:42:54,241
I think we got to make them
feel like that for one minute.

1122
00:42:56,103 --> 00:42:57,413
They love everyone so much,

1123
00:42:57,413 --> 00:42:59,620
and it's like, "Here's
a little taste of that love."

1124
00:42:59,620 --> 00:43:00,655
You deserve it."

1125
00:43:00,655 --> 00:43:02,344
- Thanks.
- I'm the shortest one!
