1
00:00:01,689 --> 00:00:02,862
[Drew]
He made us laugh as Fez.
2
00:00:02,862 --> 00:00:04,103
And now he solves crimes
as Nick Torres.
3
00:00:04,103 --> 00:00:05,620
But with all his success,
4
00:00:05,620 --> 00:00:07,482
Wilmer Valderrama
never forgets
5
00:00:07,482 --> 00:00:08,965
who helped him
get to where he is today.
6
00:00:08,965 --> 00:00:10,206
What are you doing here?
Come out.
7
00:00:10,206 --> 00:00:12,620
[Drew] And that's why
he has a surprise for Tadao.
8
00:00:12,620 --> 00:00:14,310
Oh, oh.
9
00:00:14,310 --> 00:00:16,034
[Drew]
His best friend of 20 years.
10
00:00:16,034 --> 00:00:18,275
During those 20s when you need
an older brother,
11
00:00:18,275 --> 00:00:19,827
he was the one
that was there for that.
12
00:00:19,827 --> 00:00:22,724
[Drew] And the man,
Wilmer says, helped him
through some tough times.
13
00:00:22,724 --> 00:00:25,413
I leaned on him a lot during
my ups and downs
in my career to...
14
00:00:25,413 --> 00:00:26,655
Come here.
15
00:00:26,655 --> 00:00:28,172
- Love you bro.
- Love you Tadao.
16
00:00:28,172 --> 00:00:29,620
[Drew]
To show his immense gratitude,
17
00:00:29,620 --> 00:00:30,793
there's something
very rewarding
18
00:00:30,793 --> 00:00:32,379
about just breaking [bleep].
19
00:00:33,551 --> 00:00:34,931
Whoa!
20
00:00:34,931 --> 00:00:37,896
[Drew] Wilmer wants
to turn Tadao's garage
into a flex space.
21
00:00:37,896 --> 00:00:40,827
This is our hope
the beginning of
a new chapter for the family.
22
00:00:40,827 --> 00:00:43,310
[Drew] To not only
continue the tradition
Tadao's father
23
00:00:43,310 --> 00:00:45,172
started almost 50 years ago.
24
00:00:45,172 --> 00:00:47,517
Every time family members
in Samoa will come out here,
25
00:00:47,517 --> 00:00:48,896
we would tell them,
"You know,
26
00:00:48,896 --> 00:00:51,448
all you got to do is make it
to LA and you have a place
to stay."
27
00:00:51,448 --> 00:00:53,103
[Drew]
But to give a gift...
28
00:00:53,103 --> 00:00:56,551
Because of That '70s Show'
I knew you were going to go
for the retro option.
29
00:00:56,551 --> 00:00:59,034
What you're about to discover
is bananas.
30
00:00:59,034 --> 00:01:01,172
[Drew] That will bring
even this mountain of a man...
31
00:01:01,172 --> 00:01:03,034
Wow.
32
00:01:03,034 --> 00:01:05,620
- Thanks, bro.
- [Drew] ...to tears.
33
00:01:05,620 --> 00:01:07,172
[Tadao]
Thank you so much, brother.
34
00:01:07,172 --> 00:01:10,103

36
00:01:19,862 --> 00:01:21,241
[Drew]
I have a question for you.
37
00:01:21,241 --> 00:01:24,551
The comedy genius
that came out of you
for That '70s Show
38
00:01:24,551 --> 00:01:28,344
and then that serious
special agent for NCIS,
39
00:01:28,344 --> 00:01:30,034
what's more you, what's more
your personality?
40
00:01:30,034 --> 00:01:31,310
I'm a clown.
41
00:01:31,310 --> 00:01:34,241
I think I'm closer to Fez than
I am closer to federal agent.
42
00:01:34,241 --> 00:01:36,724
And I certainly couldn't solve
a crime if you asked me.
43
00:01:36,724 --> 00:01:38,862
Today, we've been recruited
by the very talented
44
00:01:38,862 --> 00:01:40,379
and funny Wilmer Valderrama
45
00:01:40,379 --> 00:01:43,551
to help surprise
his best friend
of 20 years, Tadao.
46
00:01:43,551 --> 00:01:44,793
I mean,
not only have these two been
47
00:01:44,793 --> 00:01:46,758
extremely close friends
over the years,
48
00:01:46,758 --> 00:01:50,000
but Tadao was the rock
that Wilmer leaned on
during his early career.
49
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,724
I credit Tadao majorly
for how I turned out.
50
00:01:54,724 --> 00:01:56,586
I didn't have like
older brothers.
51
00:01:56,586 --> 00:02:00,034
I was just by myself
in this industry
as a young man,
52
00:02:00,034 --> 00:02:02,793
you know, you're out there
testing your boundaries
53
00:02:02,793 --> 00:02:05,000
and my dad is so far remote
from here.
54
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,586
- My mom is so far remote.
- Yeah.
55
00:02:06,586 --> 00:02:08,586
And he was
my moral compass.
56
00:02:08,586 --> 00:02:10,620
He was the guy
who kept the integrity,
57
00:02:10,620 --> 00:02:15,000
made sure that I never did
anything that I would regret.
58
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,103
Ultimately, you know,
he was kind of that presence.
59
00:02:18,103 --> 00:02:19,448
He was that--
he was my older brother.
60
00:02:19,448 --> 00:02:21,137
He was the guy who kind
of looked after me
61
00:02:21,137 --> 00:02:23,620
and specifically, you know,
then he moved in with me.
62
00:02:23,620 --> 00:02:25,103
He was my roommate
for a long time
63
00:02:25,103 --> 00:02:27,379
and also my guardian angel
in many ways.
64
00:02:27,379 --> 00:02:31,241
Then I met his family,
and I would just frequent
Carson all the time.
65
00:02:31,241 --> 00:02:33,344
So, what's the deal with
the garage that's there?
66
00:02:33,344 --> 00:02:35,344
Is it because there's lots
of family and visitors?
67
00:02:35,344 --> 00:02:36,827
They just need
the extra square footage?
68
00:02:36,827 --> 00:02:38,000
[Wilmer] Absolutely.
69
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,862
The Salima family has been
the welcoming committee
70
00:02:40,862 --> 00:02:43,241
for so much
of the Polynesian community
in Carson.
71
00:02:43,241 --> 00:02:45,931
When people come
from Samoa to visit family,
72
00:02:45,931 --> 00:02:47,275
they land there first.
73
00:02:47,275 --> 00:02:49,862
His house has become
this haven.
74
00:02:49,862 --> 00:02:53,344
It's meant so much
to the heritage
of their last name.
75
00:02:53,344 --> 00:02:55,448
So, you know,
everyone still lives there,
76
00:02:55,448 --> 00:03:01,034
you know, and it's not
a big enough house for one,
77
00:03:01,034 --> 00:03:02,896
their big personalities, okay?
78
00:03:03,931 --> 00:03:06,137
But also, you know,
for their family,
79
00:03:06,137 --> 00:03:08,034
you know,
and they always have guests,
80
00:03:08,034 --> 00:03:10,551
they always have people coming
in now from Samoa,
81
00:03:10,551 --> 00:03:13,034
being part of this
long tradition of
where their parents
82
00:03:13,034 --> 00:03:16,413
have made, which is
keep an open door,
they need to expand.
83
00:03:16,413 --> 00:03:17,551
[Drew]
Does he know anything?
84
00:03:17,551 --> 00:03:19,172
- Does he know that
we're a part of this?
- No.
85
00:03:19,172 --> 00:03:20,689
Does he know you're
[indistinct],
so super surprised.
86
00:03:20,689 --> 00:03:21,862
That's the best.
87
00:03:21,862 --> 00:03:24,103
This is literally
the best part of our job.
88
00:03:24,103 --> 00:03:26,241
- [Drew] Is this it?
- [Wilmer] Yeah, right here.
This is it.
89
00:03:26,241 --> 00:03:28,000
[Drew]
Let's get sneaky.
90
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,206
Okay, let's do this.
91
00:03:31,241 --> 00:03:33,172
[Drew]
We'll go right over here.
92
00:03:33,172 --> 00:03:34,793
So, I only get one take in.
93
00:03:34,793 --> 00:03:36,000
I'll go in one take.
94
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,310
Wilmer was like a big kid.
95
00:03:37,310 --> 00:03:40,344
He was so excited just to see
the look on Tadao's face
96
00:03:40,344 --> 00:03:41,517
when he surprises them.
97
00:03:41,517 --> 00:03:43,689
- What are you doing here?
- Come out here, bro. Come out.
98
00:03:45,206 --> 00:03:46,517
- What are you doing here?
- So, Tadao.
99
00:03:47,689 --> 00:03:49,172
Oh, don't worry about
my friends over here.
100
00:03:49,172 --> 00:03:50,724
As soon as I knock
on his door, he's like,
101
00:03:50,724 --> 00:03:52,206
"What is Wilmer up to now?"
102
00:03:53,724 --> 00:03:55,206
What brings you
to Carson today?
103
00:03:55,206 --> 00:03:56,551
So, you know, the food.
104
00:03:57,931 --> 00:03:59,344
I guess I'll just rip it like
a Band-Aid.
105
00:03:59,344 --> 00:04:03,068
So, you've been my brother
for many, many years.
106
00:04:03,068 --> 00:04:04,724
We've been through
the ups and downs,
107
00:04:04,724 --> 00:04:06,482
and I have
an interesting opportunity
108
00:04:06,482 --> 00:04:08,896
to do something fun
for the families
109
00:04:08,896 --> 00:04:10,413
in commemoration
of our friendship.
110
00:04:10,413 --> 00:04:13,310
And I brought some friends
to help me.
111
00:04:13,310 --> 00:04:14,551
- You guys, come here.
- Oh.
112
00:04:14,551 --> 00:04:15,724
- Oh, oh.
- Hey.
113
00:04:15,724 --> 00:04:16,793
[Drew] Hello.
How are you?
114
00:04:16,793 --> 00:04:17,931
Good, man.
What's up, fellas?
115
00:04:17,931 --> 00:04:19,103
Hey,
good to finally meet you.
116
00:04:19,103 --> 00:04:21,000
We hear, you know, we could be
a little bit of help.
117
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,482
We'll see you guys on TV.
I'm big fans of you guys.
118
00:04:23,482 --> 00:04:24,724
From everything
we hear about you,
119
00:04:24,724 --> 00:04:25,862
we're big fans of you.
120
00:04:25,862 --> 00:04:28,310
Oh, well, you know,
thank you.
121
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:30,206
We've done the ambush
a few times,
122
00:04:30,206 --> 00:04:31,896
but Wilmer handled it
like a pro.
123
00:04:31,896 --> 00:04:34,034
We're not going
to tell you exactly
what we're going to do,
124
00:04:34,034 --> 00:04:36,103
but it should be something
pretty special.
125
00:04:36,103 --> 00:04:37,965
Yeah. Thank you.
126
00:04:37,965 --> 00:04:39,551
This is just
a surprise for me,
127
00:04:39,551 --> 00:04:40,689
for you to even be here.
128
00:04:40,689 --> 00:04:41,827
You know what you mean to me.
129
00:04:41,827 --> 00:04:43,379
And you know what,
you've been to my life,
130
00:04:43,379 --> 00:04:47,206
and I just felt it was time
for the next chapter
of this castle
131
00:04:47,206 --> 00:04:49,551
that has housed so many
generations of Samoans.
132
00:04:51,034 --> 00:04:54,068
[Wilmer] During those 20s,
the early 30s of my life
133
00:04:54,068 --> 00:04:55,724
when you need
an older brother,
134
00:04:55,724 --> 00:04:57,586
and he was the one
that was there for that.
135
00:04:57,586 --> 00:05:01,103
I consider Wilmer
as one of my... one
of my usos
136
00:05:01,103 --> 00:05:03,724
and we don't take
that word very lightly.
137
00:05:03,724 --> 00:05:07,137
For Samoan, considers
another man and also,
138
00:05:07,137 --> 00:05:10,310
he's telling him
that you are my brother.
139
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:11,689
Blood doesn't make you family,
140
00:05:11,689 --> 00:05:13,206
loyalty makes you family.
141
00:05:13,206 --> 00:05:16,206
Definitely I have amounts
of gratitude
142
00:05:16,206 --> 00:05:17,517
to pay back to him
143
00:05:17,517 --> 00:05:20,620
when I was a young actor,
end of scene,
144
00:05:20,620 --> 00:05:22,827
and it could have been a left,
you know?
145
00:05:22,827 --> 00:05:24,379
But I kept going right.
146
00:05:24,379 --> 00:05:25,931
Doing security work for Wil,
147
00:05:25,931 --> 00:05:27,551
if I didn't feel
somebody's vibe
148
00:05:27,551 --> 00:05:30,758
or if I felt like somebody
was hanging out
for the wrong reasons,
149
00:05:30,758 --> 00:05:32,103
I would have to cut them off.
150
00:05:32,103 --> 00:05:34,689
We spent two decades
of our lives
151
00:05:34,689 --> 00:05:37,206
being there for
each other at times
152
00:05:37,206 --> 00:05:39,517
that were incredibly
vulnerable for us.
153
00:05:39,517 --> 00:05:42,034
I leaned on him
a lot on what to do,
154
00:05:42,034 --> 00:05:44,275
what not to do for my family.
155
00:05:44,275 --> 00:05:46,620
My ups and downs
in my career as well.
156
00:05:46,620 --> 00:05:50,931
He's been there for me
when I lost my mom.
157
00:05:50,931 --> 00:05:53,517
She passed away
of heart failure
158
00:05:53,517 --> 00:05:55,448
and then my younger brother,
159
00:05:55,448 --> 00:05:59,137
he went in and he passed away
of COVID complications.
160
00:05:59,137 --> 00:06:02,103
Last thing I remember
texting him was,
"Stay strong."
161
00:06:02,103 --> 00:06:03,275
You know?
162
00:06:06,413 --> 00:06:08,000
Mom's gonna watch over us
163
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,758
and you know you're gonna
make it out of there.
164
00:06:10,862 --> 00:06:13,034
Nobody was able to go
in there with him
165
00:06:13,034 --> 00:06:14,413
and hold his hand
166
00:06:16,206 --> 00:06:18,034
and, you know, pray for him
167
00:06:18,034 --> 00:06:20,758
and just tell him everything
is gonna be okay.
168
00:06:20,758 --> 00:06:22,517
You know,
same thing with my dad.
169
00:06:22,517 --> 00:06:25,586
Ten days later,
my dad passed away of COVID.
170
00:06:27,068 --> 00:06:30,793
You know, if I can just be
half the man that he was.
171
00:06:32,793 --> 00:06:35,344
I will consider
myself successful.
172
00:06:35,344 --> 00:06:36,862
One of the things
that really brought me
173
00:06:36,862 --> 00:06:39,896
a lot of hope was the grace
that him and his family
174
00:06:39,896 --> 00:06:43,206
had throughout the face
of this traumatic moment
for their family.
175
00:06:43,206 --> 00:06:44,551
They leaned on their faith.
176
00:06:44,551 --> 00:06:46,551
They leaned on their culture.
177
00:06:46,551 --> 00:06:49,689
So, when I think about
how they were able
to lean on one another,
178
00:06:49,689 --> 00:06:52,551
I feel having the ability
to share a meal with somebody
179
00:06:52,551 --> 00:06:53,931
and you can pay for the tap,
180
00:06:53,931 --> 00:06:55,758
never let anyone pay,
you know,
181
00:06:55,758 --> 00:06:58,724
to be in a position
to be able to be part of this.
182
00:06:58,724 --> 00:07:02,000
It just means... it means
so much.
183
00:07:04,172 --> 00:07:05,413
How many people live
in the house?
184
00:07:05,413 --> 00:07:09,482
Currently,
seven of my siblings
and my two nieces.
185
00:07:09,482 --> 00:07:11,758
This house here,
when my parents were alive,
186
00:07:11,758 --> 00:07:14,689
was a stable
of like our family.
187
00:07:14,689 --> 00:07:17,275
So, for the past 45 years,
you know,
188
00:07:17,275 --> 00:07:20,310
every time family members
from back home in Samoa
would come out here,
189
00:07:20,310 --> 00:07:21,689
we would tell them,
"You know,
190
00:07:21,689 --> 00:07:23,931
all you got to do is make it
to LA and you have
a place to stay."
191
00:07:23,931 --> 00:07:25,310
Oh, wow.
192
00:07:25,310 --> 00:07:29,000
And so, you're keeping this
legacy going
by still being that hub.
193
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,241
Yes.
194
00:07:30,241 --> 00:07:33,103
- Every square foot counts.
- Yeah.
195
00:07:33,103 --> 00:07:35,448
This is really a fellow
that has been through
196
00:07:35,448 --> 00:07:38,034
so much and he continues
to keep giving,
197
00:07:38,034 --> 00:07:40,896
which I think is the reason
why Wilmer just wants
to come in
198
00:07:40,896 --> 00:07:42,931
and do something
that will make life easier.
199
00:07:42,931 --> 00:07:44,344
We're gonna make
this fantastic,
200
00:07:44,344 --> 00:07:46,310
and you don't have
to worry about a thing.
201
00:07:46,310 --> 00:07:48,689
Phew!
I'm at a loss for words.
202
00:07:48,689 --> 00:07:50,758
There's not enough thank-yous
in the world
203
00:07:50,758 --> 00:07:54,482
or even the words to say
how grateful I am.
204
00:07:54,482 --> 00:07:55,931
First opportunity
that you're giving me
205
00:07:55,931 --> 00:07:57,620
and my brothers
and sisters, bro.
206
00:07:57,620 --> 00:08:00,103
- It's family.
- Thank you, man.
207
00:08:00,103 --> 00:08:03,689
[Wilmer] To see
my brother Tadao become
one with his emotions.
208
00:08:04,862 --> 00:08:06,689
Obviously,
it filled me up with joy
209
00:08:06,689 --> 00:08:08,482
because I knew that
we were doing the right thing.
210
00:08:08,482 --> 00:08:10,724
But we have to unfortunately,
you know,
211
00:08:10,724 --> 00:08:12,827
kick you out of your house
for a short period,
a few weeks.
212
00:08:12,827 --> 00:08:14,517
But I think it's going
to be worth it in the end.
213
00:08:14,517 --> 00:08:17,931
So, Wilmer has actually
set up a place for you
to be able to stay.
214
00:08:17,931 --> 00:08:19,379
- Okay.
- You're going to be
taken care of.
215
00:08:19,379 --> 00:08:21,965
We also have a car
for you to head to lunch,
216
00:08:21,965 --> 00:08:23,413
and he'll meet you
in a little bit.
217
00:08:23,413 --> 00:08:25,517
We just need to kind of
snoop around your house
a little bit here.
218
00:08:25,517 --> 00:08:27,172
Okay.
I trust my brother.
219
00:08:28,344 --> 00:08:29,724
- Thank you, guys.
- Yeah.
220
00:08:29,724 --> 00:08:31,000
- We'll see you soon.
- [Tadao] Yep.
221
00:08:32,689 --> 00:08:34,206
- Love you bro.
- Love you too, brother.
222
00:08:35,379 --> 00:08:36,482
[Wilmer] Okay.
223
00:08:36,482 --> 00:08:39,379
So, I believe the garage
is the one that
224
00:08:39,379 --> 00:08:41,689
could really be
the game-changing moment
for the family.
225
00:08:41,689 --> 00:08:44,862
Okay.
Has it already been converted?
226
00:08:44,862 --> 00:08:46,206
[Drew] Oh,
so it hasn't been converted.
227
00:08:46,206 --> 00:08:47,379
It's still a garage.
228
00:08:47,379 --> 00:08:48,482
[Drew] Oh.
229
00:08:50,517 --> 00:08:52,758
- This is like
the overflow room.
- Yeah.
230
00:08:52,758 --> 00:08:54,724
[Drew] Tadao was saying that
he had family come and stay,
231
00:08:54,724 --> 00:08:57,068
and I can see why they're
just putting extra
mattresses wherever.
232
00:08:57,068 --> 00:08:58,551
The idea would be to,
233
00:08:58,551 --> 00:09:00,482
you know, make this
another living space
234
00:09:00,482 --> 00:09:02,793
in which it's actually
equipped for a living
235
00:09:02,793 --> 00:09:04,586
as opposed to staying
in the garage.
236
00:09:04,586 --> 00:09:07,379
Part of the renovation,
I'd want to get rid of that
237
00:09:07,379 --> 00:09:08,758
old garage smell.
238
00:09:08,758 --> 00:09:09,862
- [Drew] Yeah.
- Yeah.
239
00:09:09,862 --> 00:09:13,620
Can this serve
as an actual space that
240
00:09:13,620 --> 00:09:16,413
can alleviate the stress
that some of the other rooms
241
00:09:16,413 --> 00:09:18,137
in the house
have been experiencing
242
00:09:18,137 --> 00:09:19,482
and enduring over the years.
243
00:09:19,482 --> 00:09:21,586
There's laundry right now,
so there's obviously
244
00:09:21,586 --> 00:09:22,793
they've got some plumbing.
245
00:09:22,793 --> 00:09:25,620
Would you want to do,
like a bathroom,
a kitchenette?
246
00:09:25,620 --> 00:09:26,965
- Like what?
- I mean, I think so.
247
00:09:26,965 --> 00:09:29,758
I think that this
has potential to be
a nicer studio,
248
00:09:29,758 --> 00:09:31,724
something that's
pretty sustainable.
249
00:09:31,724 --> 00:09:33,758
It has its own interest
and its own access.
250
00:09:33,758 --> 00:09:36,103
So you don't necessarily...
if you have a guest,
251
00:09:36,103 --> 00:09:38,551
they don't have to go through
the kitchen to go
to the bathroom.
252
00:09:38,551 --> 00:09:40,586
There is a door
into the main house,
which I see.
253
00:09:40,586 --> 00:09:42,241
So that's handy.
254
00:09:42,241 --> 00:09:45,310
We'd wanna get rid
of the garage door,
255
00:09:45,310 --> 00:09:48,586
insulate and soundproof it
so that you don't hear
all the traffic.
256
00:09:48,586 --> 00:09:50,103
[Wilmer] Sure. Sure.
257
00:09:50,103 --> 00:09:53,448
I'm noticing massive cracking
and heaving in the slab.
258
00:09:53,448 --> 00:09:55,724
We'll either have to pull
this slab out completely
259
00:09:55,724 --> 00:09:58,068
or pour a whole
new slab on top.
260
00:09:58,068 --> 00:10:00,034
The good thing is we do have
some extra height.
261
00:10:00,034 --> 00:10:02,241
If you had to build
another floor on top of this
262
00:10:02,241 --> 00:10:03,620
and it's gonna
raise up a little bit,
263
00:10:03,620 --> 00:10:05,482
I think going up
would be good.
264
00:10:05,482 --> 00:10:07,034
Upgrading
some of the furniture,
265
00:10:07,034 --> 00:10:08,931
I think, would be...
266
00:10:08,931 --> 00:10:11,586
- I think it's time.
- Yeah, I think so. Yeah.
267
00:10:11,586 --> 00:10:13,448
This probably was actually
in the garage.
268
00:10:13,448 --> 00:10:15,413
This was like a work surface
or something like that.
269
00:10:15,413 --> 00:10:18,931
And honestly, if we do what
I think we could do in here,
270
00:10:18,931 --> 00:10:21,206
some of the family
who are living in the house
271
00:10:21,206 --> 00:10:22,965
and we're like,
"No, I want it out there.
272
00:10:22,965 --> 00:10:25,068
- I want to--"
- Yeah, of course.
273
00:10:25,068 --> 00:10:27,068
[Jonathan] More livable space
is exactly
274
00:10:27,068 --> 00:10:28,620
what Tadao's family needs.
275
00:10:28,620 --> 00:10:30,620
And a chic
and functional flex space
276
00:10:30,620 --> 00:10:32,827
in the garage
is the perfect solution.
277
00:10:32,827 --> 00:10:36,103
First, we'll lay luxury
vinyl floors throughout.
278
00:10:36,103 --> 00:10:40,137
The mid-tone wood plank
will add sophistication
and durability,
279
00:10:40,137 --> 00:10:42,793
and with our entry relocated
for easier access,
280
00:10:42,793 --> 00:10:45,103
we'll have the space
to craft a sleek kitchenette.
281
00:10:46,448 --> 00:10:48,931
Custom cabinets topped
by porcelain counters
282
00:10:48,931 --> 00:10:52,931
and compact appliances,
will offer guests
a boutique hotel vibe,
283
00:10:52,931 --> 00:10:55,034
as well as independence
from the hustle and bustle
284
00:10:55,034 --> 00:10:57,172
of the home's main kitchen.
285
00:10:57,172 --> 00:11:00,206
The space needs
sleeping arrangements
for family and guests,
286
00:11:00,206 --> 00:11:03,344
so we'll install not one,
but two Murphy beds that
287
00:11:03,344 --> 00:11:07,827
can easily fold away
when the family wants
to relax or entertain.
288
00:11:07,827 --> 00:11:11,275
A swanky living room
will offer modern
yet cozy furniture,
289
00:11:11,275 --> 00:11:12,689
and a state-of-the-art TV,
290
00:11:12,689 --> 00:11:14,655
will offer five-star amenities
291
00:11:14,655 --> 00:11:16,931
for the family when they wanna
catch up on a game
292
00:11:16,931 --> 00:11:18,482
or unwind with a movie.
293
00:11:18,482 --> 00:11:21,517
And finally, we'll celebrate
Tadao's family heritage
294
00:11:21,517 --> 00:11:23,586
with
a Polynesian-inspired bathroom
295
00:11:23,586 --> 00:11:25,448
that boasts textured tile,
296
00:11:25,448 --> 00:11:29,137
a spa-like shower
and a distinctive
teakwood vanity.
297
00:11:29,137 --> 00:11:32,482
Perfect for welcoming family
for generations to come.
298
00:11:32,482 --> 00:11:34,793
But how long do you think
it normally takes?
299
00:11:34,793 --> 00:11:36,655
We could do this in,
like, four or five weeks.
300
00:11:36,655 --> 00:11:38,655
- Yeah. Is that feasible or?
- I mean, that's good.
301
00:11:38,655 --> 00:11:41,827
I mean, here's
the guy overachieving here,
302
00:11:41,827 --> 00:11:43,793
but if we can do it like
under five,
303
00:11:43,793 --> 00:11:44,931
closer to four would be great.
304
00:11:44,931 --> 00:11:46,448
I just don't wanna keep
the family, too.
305
00:11:46,448 --> 00:11:49,103
Yeah, I mean, it's one thing
if it was just Tadao,
306
00:11:49,103 --> 00:11:51,275
and he's also on the road
a lot for work.
307
00:11:51,275 --> 00:11:53,310
But we know that
he has a whole family here.
308
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:55,448
- So, are you willing
to rip it apart?
- Yeah.
309
00:11:55,448 --> 00:11:57,482
Listen, we got to pick up
a hammer, right?
310
00:11:57,482 --> 00:11:58,689
Would your reaction during
311
00:11:58,689 --> 00:12:02,379
that will be more of like
a slick Nick Torres.
312
00:12:02,379 --> 00:12:03,862
If I was gonna go
as Nick Torres,
313
00:12:03,862 --> 00:12:06,827
because, you know,
this might look more like
a crime scene.
314
00:12:06,827 --> 00:12:08,965
I would probably do
one of these.
315
00:12:10,034 --> 00:12:11,413
[Drew] So,
you'll play the part. Okay.
316
00:12:11,413 --> 00:12:14,379
You know, look around
and then you say,
317
00:12:14,379 --> 00:12:16,068
"We've got no skid marks.
318
00:12:16,068 --> 00:12:18,034
It seems like the hit
was intentional."
319
00:12:18,034 --> 00:12:19,206
I concur.
320
00:12:19,206 --> 00:12:22,068
And then you stand up,
and then you say,
321
00:12:22,068 --> 00:12:23,551
"All right,
let's get to work."
322
00:12:23,551 --> 00:12:24,758
We're gonna be so good.
323
00:12:24,758 --> 00:12:26,034
We're gonna renovate
this place
324
00:12:26,034 --> 00:12:27,517
and solve a crime
at the same time.
325
00:12:27,517 --> 00:12:29,344
Bam!
326
00:12:29,344 --> 00:12:32,448
Having an opportunity
to enhance their home,
327
00:12:32,448 --> 00:12:35,275
that their parents
raised them in.
328
00:12:35,275 --> 00:12:37,896
It's absolutely
the least I can do.
329
00:12:37,896 --> 00:12:39,689
I'm very proud
to be here for that.
330
00:12:53,517 --> 00:12:55,379
It's kind of nice just
to see a clean slate
331
00:12:55,379 --> 00:12:56,517
before we rock and roll.
332
00:12:56,517 --> 00:12:58,758
Is it crazy or is it
already looking better?
333
00:12:58,758 --> 00:13:00,586
First of all,
now I can appreciate
334
00:13:00,586 --> 00:13:02,103
how massive this is.
335
00:13:02,103 --> 00:13:05,000
This was actually
a two-car garage at one point.
336
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,068
There's this
iconic bucket list
337
00:13:07,068 --> 00:13:08,931
for anyone who watches
The Bros.
338
00:13:08,931 --> 00:13:10,275
All right. Go for it.
339
00:13:10,275 --> 00:13:12,793
You wanna get to work
in a wall with them, you know?
340
00:13:15,620 --> 00:13:18,103
- Ah! String.
- Damn.
341
00:13:18,103 --> 00:13:19,724
You know, I got to say,
when it comes to demo,
342
00:13:19,724 --> 00:13:20,931
there's something
very rewarding
343
00:13:20,931 --> 00:13:23,379
about just breaking [bleep].
344
00:13:23,379 --> 00:13:24,551
I love that stuff.
345
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,586
[Drew] As natural as Wilmer
was with the ambush,
346
00:13:28,586 --> 00:13:30,206
he was just as good
with the demo.
347
00:13:31,586 --> 00:13:32,724
And the good news is,
348
00:13:32,724 --> 00:13:35,000
other than a little bit
of old termite damage,
349
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,896
this 50-year-old structure
is in pretty good shape.
350
00:13:37,896 --> 00:13:40,206
Punch two holes between
the studs.
351
00:13:40,206 --> 00:13:42,551
We're gonna end up tying
into the plumbing that
already exists.
352
00:13:42,551 --> 00:13:44,620
With the paneling down,
we can dig into the back wall
353
00:13:44,620 --> 00:13:45,793
where our bathroom will go.
354
00:13:49,758 --> 00:13:51,896
- How high are we going, Drew?
- That's more than enough.
355
00:13:51,896 --> 00:13:54,862
If you look on the other side
of this, that's the bathroom.
356
00:13:54,862 --> 00:13:56,068
- On the other side.
- Oh, I see it.
357
00:13:56,068 --> 00:13:58,103
Tying into the plumbing inside
this wall allows us
358
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:01,034
to not only build
a one-of-a-kind kitchenette
and bathroom,
359
00:14:01,034 --> 00:14:03,344
but we'll tuck in a proper
laundry room here, too.
360
00:14:03,344 --> 00:14:04,896
We are gonna need to find
361
00:14:04,896 --> 00:14:07,275
where the plumbing
is along here.
362
00:14:07,275 --> 00:14:09,620
It's easy to access
and we'll save us time versus
363
00:14:09,620 --> 00:14:12,344
having to run
all new plumbing lines
from inside the house.
364
00:14:12,344 --> 00:14:14,448
As I'm opening holes
into this wall,
365
00:14:14,448 --> 00:14:16,172
I started thinking to myself,
366
00:14:16,172 --> 00:14:18,586
"Treasures,
what's the craziest thing
367
00:14:18,586 --> 00:14:20,103
that you've found inside
the wall?"
368
00:14:20,103 --> 00:14:21,724
Jonathan came face-to-face
369
00:14:21,724 --> 00:14:23,413
with a ten-foot-long
rat snake.
370
00:14:23,413 --> 00:14:24,896
- Oh, yeah.
- [Drew] Alive.
371
00:14:24,896 --> 00:14:27,517
He ripped open some soffit
at head level
372
00:14:27,517 --> 00:14:29,172
and it was there staring him
in the face.
373
00:14:29,172 --> 00:14:31,482
That is so bizarre.
374
00:14:31,482 --> 00:14:33,689
I still remember
the second I saw it,
375
00:14:33,689 --> 00:14:36,172
part of me was like,
"This is where it ends."
376
00:14:36,172 --> 00:14:37,344
Right.
377
00:14:42,310 --> 00:14:43,862
[Jonathan] It was a dusty
and dirty demolition.
378
00:14:45,103 --> 00:14:47,344
Nothing was attached up above.
379
00:14:47,344 --> 00:14:49,896
We just sort of lifted it
and it all fell out.
380
00:14:49,896 --> 00:14:51,172
[Drew] Right. Feeling good?
381
00:14:51,172 --> 00:14:52,655
One last one.
382
00:14:55,689 --> 00:14:58,448
I have one other epic idea
for something
that has to happen.
383
00:14:58,448 --> 00:15:00,068
I feel like we got off easy.
384
00:15:00,068 --> 00:15:02,379
Let's get some fresh air.
385
00:15:02,379 --> 00:15:04,172
I didn't really have
to demo too much.
386
00:15:04,172 --> 00:15:06,862
What better way
to finalize demo?
387
00:15:06,862 --> 00:15:10,000
One, two, three.
388
00:15:12,551 --> 00:15:13,758
[Jonathan]
Now that feels good.
389
00:15:13,758 --> 00:15:16,103
That's a memory
I'm gonna carry forever.
390
00:15:16,103 --> 00:15:19,827
To just be able to eventually
sit here with the family
and enjoy it with them,
391
00:15:19,827 --> 00:15:21,310
is gonna be really awesome.
392
00:15:21,310 --> 00:15:22,827
You've got to do
the walk of victory.
393
00:15:22,827 --> 00:15:23,931
Yeah.
394
00:15:25,344 --> 00:15:26,862
[Wilmer] Tadao.
He means so much to me.
395
00:15:26,862 --> 00:15:28,241
And this is, I hope,
396
00:15:28,241 --> 00:15:31,241
the beginning of a new chapter
for the family.
397
00:15:31,241 --> 00:15:33,862
It's absolutely
the least I can do.
398
00:15:33,862 --> 00:15:35,482
And I'm just grateful
to the brothers.
399
00:15:43,448 --> 00:15:45,241
[machine whirring]
400
00:15:46,517 --> 00:15:47,689
All right.
401
00:15:47,689 --> 00:15:52,551
So, our doorway is gonna be
roughly right here.
402
00:15:52,551 --> 00:15:55,655
In order to get the new layout
of the space that we need,
403
00:15:55,655 --> 00:15:57,655
we wanna flip
the exterior door
to the other side.
404
00:15:57,655 --> 00:15:58,827
There's what?
405
00:15:58,827 --> 00:16:01,275
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven plants.
406
00:16:01,275 --> 00:16:02,413
But they're all small.
407
00:16:02,413 --> 00:16:04,034
I mean, aside from
the bigger one right there.
408
00:16:04,034 --> 00:16:05,758
But we don't wanna get
rid of any of the plants
409
00:16:05,758 --> 00:16:07,379
because Tadao's father
actually planted
410
00:16:07,379 --> 00:16:09,413
every plant in this garden.
411
00:16:09,413 --> 00:16:11,379
There's tons of space
in the back of the yard
412
00:16:11,379 --> 00:16:13,000
or even filling out
a few of these other areas
413
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,068
where you can see there might
have been some dead ones.
414
00:16:15,068 --> 00:16:16,896
We can pop them into pots
for now and then figure out
415
00:16:16,896 --> 00:16:18,896
what we're gonna do with them.
There are memories there.
416
00:16:18,896 --> 00:16:20,241
We're gonna transplant them
so they can
417
00:16:20,241 --> 00:16:21,620
thrive in a different spot
of the yard.
418
00:16:21,620 --> 00:16:23,103
[Drew] The root systems
on these are a lot
419
00:16:23,103 --> 00:16:24,379
deeper than
I thought they were.
420
00:16:24,379 --> 00:16:26,103
[Jonathan] Come on, Drew.
What are you, an amateur?
421
00:16:26,103 --> 00:16:27,586
[Drew]
I'm trying to be gentle.
422
00:16:31,241 --> 00:16:32,827
Oh.
My gosh.
423
00:16:32,827 --> 00:16:35,137
These things are going down
two-and-a-half feet.
424
00:16:35,137 --> 00:16:36,689
This one as well...
it goes really deep.
425
00:16:36,689 --> 00:16:38,034
It's not working.
426
00:16:38,034 --> 00:16:40,310
Sometimes you think a job
is gonna be very easy.
427
00:16:40,310 --> 00:16:42,896
Tadao's parents moved
to LA from Samoa.
428
00:16:42,896 --> 00:16:43,896
They put down roots.
429
00:16:43,896 --> 00:16:45,482
Hey, they put
a tiny little plant.
430
00:16:45,482 --> 00:16:47,275
Had a family
and have been welcoming
431
00:16:47,275 --> 00:16:49,551
the Samoan community
with open arms ever since.
432
00:16:49,551 --> 00:16:51,310
I've got it. I've got it.
433
00:16:51,310 --> 00:16:53,068
And then there's the roots
in this garden.
434
00:16:53,068 --> 00:16:54,379
And just like this family...
435
00:16:54,379 --> 00:16:57,137
We ripped out
the entire garage
in less time
436
00:16:57,137 --> 00:16:59,241
it's taken for us
to take these
tiny little trees out.
437
00:16:59,241 --> 00:17:01,448
They have no intention
of going anywhere.
438
00:17:01,448 --> 00:17:04,275
- One, two, three.
- All right.
439
00:17:04,275 --> 00:17:07,517
- There I go. Okay.
- [Drew] Oh, oh, oh.
440
00:17:07,517 --> 00:17:09,931
- Look at that.
- [Jonathan] One more.
441
00:17:09,931 --> 00:17:12,172
Yeah.
442
00:17:12,172 --> 00:17:13,551
That's what I'm talking about.
443
00:17:16,310 --> 00:17:19,206
Now that relocating these
very healthy plants is done,
444
00:17:19,206 --> 00:17:21,620
we can get to cutting
in our new exterior door.
445
00:17:22,689 --> 00:17:24,103
The location is perfect.
446
00:17:24,103 --> 00:17:25,896
It's next
to the actual front door,
447
00:17:25,896 --> 00:17:27,793
and we'll be pouring
the accessible
concrete walkway.
448
00:17:27,793 --> 00:17:29,689
And there's gonna be
a lot going
into this renovation,
449
00:17:29,689 --> 00:17:31,793
but also a lot of emotion.
450
00:17:31,793 --> 00:17:33,448
Tadao told us
that his father had
451
00:17:33,448 --> 00:17:35,482
always dreamed
of renovating the garage,
452
00:17:35,482 --> 00:17:37,034
exactly like
what we're doing.
453
00:17:37,034 --> 00:17:40,137
This space, this entire house,
means so much to his family,
454
00:17:40,137 --> 00:17:42,000
and there's no room
to getting this wrong.
455
00:17:48,310 --> 00:17:49,689
Oh, oh.
456
00:17:49,689 --> 00:17:51,827
[Drew] After more than
20 years of friendship
and guidance,
457
00:17:51,827 --> 00:17:55,586
Wilmer wants to surprise
his former bodyguard
and friend, Tadao.
458
00:17:55,586 --> 00:17:56,724
He was my older brother.
459
00:17:56,724 --> 00:17:58,448
He was the guy
who looked after me.
460
00:17:58,448 --> 00:18:02,862
[Drew] And the garage makeover
will help him continue
his parents' legacy.
461
00:18:02,862 --> 00:18:05,896
This is, I hope, the beginning
of a new chapter
for the family.
462
00:18:10,172 --> 00:18:12,206
[Jonathan] With our first week
almost behind us,
463
00:18:12,206 --> 00:18:13,689
it's finally time
to say goodbye
464
00:18:13,689 --> 00:18:15,482
to that massive
crack on the floor.
465
00:18:15,482 --> 00:18:18,103
We built a rebar cage
and then prepped the ground
466
00:18:18,103 --> 00:18:19,517
with some sand over top
of the gravel
467
00:18:19,517 --> 00:18:21,448
just to support
the concrete slab above.
468
00:18:21,448 --> 00:18:22,689
Yeah,
this is an earthquake zone,
469
00:18:22,689 --> 00:18:25,172
so this secures the floor
from any shifting underneath,
470
00:18:25,172 --> 00:18:26,344
and on the outside,
471
00:18:26,344 --> 00:18:28,206
we'll not only be flush
with the new exterior door,
472
00:18:28,206 --> 00:18:30,000
but provide
a wheelchair accessible path
473
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,275
needed for some
of Tadao's family.
474
00:18:33,068 --> 00:18:34,965
[Jonathan] And since
we can't do anything
in the garage
475
00:18:34,965 --> 00:18:37,275
until the slab has poured
and cured,
476
00:18:37,275 --> 00:18:38,655
do you want me
to sort of lead you in,
477
00:18:38,655 --> 00:18:40,310
or do you wanna just dive
in with confidence?
478
00:18:40,310 --> 00:18:41,482
- Ah!
- And lead me?
479
00:18:41,482 --> 00:18:43,310
I could dive in
with confidence,
480
00:18:43,310 --> 00:18:44,931
but I'd be faking it.
481
00:18:44,931 --> 00:18:47,172
Wilmer is back to help me dial
in the design
482
00:18:47,172 --> 00:18:49,655
that best speaks to Tadao
and his family's style.
483
00:18:49,655 --> 00:18:52,448
Tadao is very proud
of his Samoan culture,
484
00:18:52,448 --> 00:18:55,000
and finding a way to see
his culture through
485
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,379
the room will be really fun.
486
00:18:56,379 --> 00:18:57,724
[Jonathan]
We can layer in a lot of
487
00:18:57,724 --> 00:18:59,103
different textures
and colors
488
00:18:59,103 --> 00:19:02,000
that will make it feel island,
but not kitschy,
489
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,551
like something
that just feels warm.
490
00:19:03,551 --> 00:19:04,862
Honestly, the truth is,
491
00:19:04,862 --> 00:19:07,103
anything we do to that space
is gonna be like...
492
00:19:07,103 --> 00:19:08,586
[Jonathan] A thousand
times better. Yeah.
493
00:19:08,586 --> 00:19:09,758
How warm?
494
00:19:09,758 --> 00:19:11,862
How dark would you wanna
go on flooring?
495
00:19:11,862 --> 00:19:14,620
As you remember,
the room is very dungeony.
496
00:19:14,620 --> 00:19:19,517
So, I am a big fan
of dark hardwood floors.
497
00:19:19,517 --> 00:19:21,448
Not... I don't think
it's right for the room, right?
498
00:19:21,448 --> 00:19:22,931
This is already so dark,
but yeah.
499
00:19:22,931 --> 00:19:24,275
Something lighter.
500
00:19:24,275 --> 00:19:26,586
I would probably go
a tiny bit lighter than this,
501
00:19:26,586 --> 00:19:27,793
but not quite that light.
502
00:19:27,793 --> 00:19:29,793
The stuff that
I really appreciate is,
503
00:19:29,793 --> 00:19:32,448
is when you walk in
and you go,
"This is this person."
504
00:19:32,448 --> 00:19:34,758
And the great thing too.
This is all luxury vinyl.
505
00:19:34,758 --> 00:19:37,137
So, it's gonna be
incredibly durable out there.
506
00:19:37,137 --> 00:19:39,172
It doesn't matter
how many people
are coming and going.
507
00:19:39,172 --> 00:19:42,586
If I was a dining room,
what would I look like?
508
00:19:42,586 --> 00:19:45,896
That is ultimately my motto
when I design.
509
00:19:45,896 --> 00:19:48,620
If we think of something kind
of mid tone for the flooring,
510
00:19:48,620 --> 00:19:50,275
flow that all the way through,
511
00:19:50,275 --> 00:19:52,413
then I think
in the kitchen area,
512
00:19:52,413 --> 00:19:55,206
probably keep it
a little lighter as well.
513
00:19:55,206 --> 00:19:57,448
Even with the stone,
we're not gonna do real stone.
514
00:19:57,448 --> 00:19:59,206
We're gonna do
centered stone.
515
00:19:59,206 --> 00:20:01,241
You're never gonna stain it,
you never have to reseal.
516
00:20:01,241 --> 00:20:03,241
- Something like that.
- Yeah, that's it.
517
00:20:03,241 --> 00:20:06,793
Well, I'm just gonna say,
because of That '70s Show
518
00:20:06,793 --> 00:20:09,275
I knew you were gonna go
for the retro one.
519
00:20:09,275 --> 00:20:11,896
This is a retro, it's almost
got like if you look in there,
520
00:20:11,896 --> 00:20:13,137
it's got that beautiful...
521
00:20:13,137 --> 00:20:16,206
Oh, it's kind of like a worn
in overtime type of vintage.
522
00:20:16,206 --> 00:20:19,896
For me, it's about
how am I supposed
to feel in this room.
523
00:20:19,896 --> 00:20:23,689
And, you know,
this family is so warm
and and so inviting.
524
00:20:23,689 --> 00:20:26,862
I also think if you're
gonna go with a really deep,
525
00:20:26,862 --> 00:20:29,586
solid color, having
a little more personality
526
00:20:29,586 --> 00:20:31,620
on your countertop just makes
a little more festive.
527
00:20:31,620 --> 00:20:33,206
It kind of gives you
the license
528
00:20:33,206 --> 00:20:35,862
to be very outgoing
with our ten other pieces
529
00:20:35,862 --> 00:20:37,241
that... that would have
the personality.
530
00:20:37,241 --> 00:20:38,517
All right.
531
00:20:38,517 --> 00:20:40,517
[Jonathan] And then what do
you think as far as hardware?
532
00:20:40,517 --> 00:20:42,034
I think brass
would be super fun.
533
00:20:42,034 --> 00:20:43,413
It's a great pop.
534
00:20:43,413 --> 00:20:45,862
The warmth of this
kind of ties with the floors
a little bit too.
535
00:20:45,862 --> 00:20:47,206
- It's kind of cool.
- [Jonathan] Yeah.
536
00:20:47,206 --> 00:20:49,344
And then we'll layer
in area rugs.
537
00:20:49,344 --> 00:20:51,862
We'll layer in some textures
in here.
538
00:20:51,862 --> 00:20:53,275
What do you think
for window coverings?
539
00:20:53,275 --> 00:20:55,793
I liken the theme of
keeping it kind of neutral.
540
00:20:55,793 --> 00:20:59,620
Then you can really have fun
with the pillows
and the some of the artwork.
541
00:20:59,620 --> 00:21:02,586
Ultimately, you're looking
at this, right? Right here.
542
00:21:02,586 --> 00:21:04,517
[Jonathan]
But all of a sudden,
it feels like in place.
543
00:21:04,517 --> 00:21:06,344
[Wilmer] I mean,
it's absolutely beautiful.
544
00:21:06,344 --> 00:21:08,310
I honestly have to say,
545
00:21:08,310 --> 00:21:10,931
you're either
the greatest actor of all time
546
00:21:10,931 --> 00:21:13,000
in faking something
you've never done.
547
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,137
You know what,
548
00:21:14,137 --> 00:21:16,137
I was 26 years old
when I bought this house,
549
00:21:16,137 --> 00:21:21,137
and I decided I'm going
to slowly mold this house
550
00:21:21,137 --> 00:21:23,586
into the house that will see
my children.
551
00:21:23,586 --> 00:21:26,827
I just really, really got
incredibly hooked into
552
00:21:26,827 --> 00:21:28,655
how does this room
make me feel?
553
00:21:28,655 --> 00:21:30,896
Yeah. That's exactly
what we're trying to do.
554
00:21:30,896 --> 00:21:33,275
Create a feeling.
So, he aced it.
555
00:21:33,275 --> 00:21:34,448
No, I'm really happy.
556
00:21:34,448 --> 00:21:36,827
And I can't wait for him
and his family to discover
557
00:21:36,827 --> 00:21:39,172
the potential that
their home had all along.
558
00:21:39,172 --> 00:21:40,310
They're gonna love it.
559
00:21:40,310 --> 00:21:41,517
- They're gonna love it.
- Good job.
560
00:21:51,034 --> 00:21:52,965
[Drew] With our concrete slab
now fully cured,
561
00:21:52,965 --> 00:21:54,413
we can get
started framing this
562
00:21:54,413 --> 00:21:57,931
45-year-old garage
into a warm,
modern living space.
563
00:21:57,931 --> 00:22:00,448
Having an extra bathroom
is not just a huge add-on
564
00:22:00,448 --> 00:22:02,655
for a busy household,
but it also provides
565
00:22:02,655 --> 00:22:04,206
a hotel-like convenience
for guests
566
00:22:04,206 --> 00:22:06,000
who would have had to use
the main house facilities
567
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,413
in the middle of the night.
568
00:22:07,413 --> 00:22:09,137
We're also beefing up
the framing,
569
00:22:09,137 --> 00:22:10,482
repairing
the old termite damage
570
00:22:10,482 --> 00:22:12,034
to ensure
structural integrity.
571
00:22:12,034 --> 00:22:14,724
But the biggest piece
of the puzzle is spanning
572
00:22:14,724 --> 00:22:17,586
a massive 20-foot header beam
to give Tadao and his family
573
00:22:17,586 --> 00:22:20,103
an open ceiling
and a fully open concept.
574
00:22:20,103 --> 00:22:22,448
[Jonathan] And while our team
is working on the ceiling,
575
00:22:22,448 --> 00:22:26,620
we've decided to frame up
the new front door for
this family's flex space.
576
00:22:26,620 --> 00:22:29,206
We are at eight and a quarter.
577
00:22:29,206 --> 00:22:30,689
Measuring in all directions.
578
00:22:30,689 --> 00:22:31,827
Isn't it so much better
579
00:22:31,827 --> 00:22:34,137
when you're walking up
to the house?
580
00:22:34,137 --> 00:22:36,655
So, there's an option to go
right into the guest suite.
581
00:22:36,655 --> 00:22:38,586
If this was a rental suite,
582
00:22:38,586 --> 00:22:40,931
I would say put the door
over on that side.
583
00:22:40,931 --> 00:22:43,655
But this is actually a livable
part of this family space.
584
00:22:43,655 --> 00:22:45,000
So,
keep it over on this side.
585
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,862
[Drew] Now that we have
our new front door framed up,
586
00:22:46,862 --> 00:22:49,137
we can close up
the old side door for good
587
00:22:49,137 --> 00:22:50,586
and make way
for our kitchenette.
588
00:22:50,586 --> 00:22:51,965
This design feature alone
589
00:22:51,965 --> 00:22:53,241
is a turning point
in the build.
590
00:22:53,241 --> 00:22:56,000
No longer are we in
an unfinished garage.
591
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,482
Now begins the transformation
into livable flex space.
592
00:23:00,172 --> 00:23:01,379
Hello, sir.
593
00:23:01,379 --> 00:23:03,413
- Let me in.
- [Jonathan] No.
594
00:23:03,413 --> 00:23:04,965
Dude, stop grabbing.
595
00:23:04,965 --> 00:23:06,103
I still have access.
596
00:23:06,103 --> 00:23:08,862
I'll be patching that up
so nobody can grab me.
597
00:23:08,862 --> 00:23:10,413
What a difference
this is gonna make.
598
00:23:10,413 --> 00:23:13,275
I think we should secure it
before you actually drop it
in and smash it.
599
00:23:13,275 --> 00:23:15,241
I think that's probably
a good idea.
600
00:23:15,241 --> 00:23:16,931
Every detail in here has been
601
00:23:16,931 --> 00:23:19,241
thoughtfully planned out
to maximize the function
602
00:23:19,241 --> 00:23:21,000
from the electrical layout,
603
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,206
even the placement
of our very first windows
in this space.
604
00:23:24,206 --> 00:23:26,448
Helping to improve
and continue Tadao's parents'
605
00:23:26,448 --> 00:23:28,827
50-year tradition
of housing their Samoan family
606
00:23:28,827 --> 00:23:30,862
is something that Wilmer
is proud to be a part of.
607
00:23:30,862 --> 00:23:32,103
But we have to keep moving.
608
00:23:32,103 --> 00:23:33,275
The sooner
we get this finished,
609
00:23:33,275 --> 00:23:34,793
the sooner the family
can come and stay.
610
00:23:44,586 --> 00:23:46,000
[Drew] We are two weeks
into this reno
611
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,310
and Wilmer
is not on site today,
612
00:23:47,310 --> 00:23:49,000
which means he's missing
out on all the fun
613
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,689
and there is no time
to slow down.
614
00:23:50,689 --> 00:23:53,413
Converting Tadao's garage
into a functional flex space
615
00:23:53,413 --> 00:23:55,586
is no easy task,
inside or out.
616
00:23:55,586 --> 00:23:58,827
One of the most important jobs
happens to be outside.
617
00:23:58,827 --> 00:24:00,896
We're patching the stucco
where the garage door
618
00:24:00,896 --> 00:24:04,275
and side entrance used to be,
working flawlessly
on the texture
619
00:24:04,275 --> 00:24:06,931
just to make sure
that it looks like
a family flex space
620
00:24:06,931 --> 00:24:09,068
that has always been
a permanent part of the house.
621
00:24:09,068 --> 00:24:12,000
[Drew] Inside, the insulation
is a critical component.
622
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,379
I think this is great because
it gets hot in the summer.
623
00:24:14,379 --> 00:24:16,068
The insulation will keep
the heat out.
624
00:24:16,068 --> 00:24:17,241
Another thing
is really important
625
00:24:17,241 --> 00:24:19,137
to being that this is
a former garage,
626
00:24:19,137 --> 00:24:20,275
it's right by the street,
627
00:24:20,275 --> 00:24:22,103
there's a lot of noise
coming off the street.
628
00:24:22,103 --> 00:24:24,793
So, by putting in
a better-quality insulation,
629
00:24:24,793 --> 00:24:26,758
it's helping with that
sound dampening too.
630
00:24:29,034 --> 00:24:32,000
[Drew] With the insulation in,
we're ready to close up.
631
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,793
So, while the drywall
is getting installed,
632
00:24:33,793 --> 00:24:35,965
I'm gonna get a jump start
on our bathroom finishes
633
00:24:35,965 --> 00:24:37,586
with a little tile shopping.
634
00:24:37,586 --> 00:24:39,103
I wanna bring
a little bit of that
635
00:24:39,103 --> 00:24:41,206
Polynesian style
to this bathroom.
636
00:24:41,206 --> 00:24:43,103
I need island inspiration.
637
00:24:43,103 --> 00:24:44,448
And I'm not talking beachy.
638
00:24:44,448 --> 00:24:45,758
I'm not talking nautical.
639
00:24:45,758 --> 00:24:46,965
- Hey, how's it going?
- Hey, Drew.
640
00:24:46,965 --> 00:24:48,448
- How are you doing, man?
- Good to see you.
641
00:24:48,448 --> 00:24:50,103
There are no seashells
lying around.
642
00:24:50,103 --> 00:24:51,758
This is something
with the warm tones.
643
00:24:51,758 --> 00:24:52,965
It's an island feel.
644
00:24:52,965 --> 00:24:54,862
I know that you're looking
for something bold.
645
00:24:54,862 --> 00:24:57,068
I pulled some options for you.
646
00:24:57,068 --> 00:24:58,241
Let's take a look
at them here.
647
00:24:58,241 --> 00:24:59,344
Oh, nice.
648
00:24:59,344 --> 00:25:00,482
You went bold.
649
00:25:00,482 --> 00:25:02,517
We do have some
neutral options here, too,
650
00:25:02,517 --> 00:25:04,206
with some textures and things.
651
00:25:04,206 --> 00:25:06,689
Around the shower is where
I'm gonna focus for this.
652
00:25:06,689 --> 00:25:08,103
And I'm thinking that
653
00:25:08,103 --> 00:25:09,655
I do like something
that is neutral.
654
00:25:09,655 --> 00:25:11,827
So, it's--
it's light, it's white.
655
00:25:11,827 --> 00:25:14,379
However, it has some textures
that really pops.
656
00:25:14,379 --> 00:25:15,724
[Jim] Even though it's white.
657
00:25:15,724 --> 00:25:18,689
You can see
the terracotta coming through.
658
00:25:18,689 --> 00:25:20,965
[Drew]
There's a warm undertone,
which is really nice.
659
00:25:20,965 --> 00:25:23,724
All of these are
a bit too plain.
660
00:25:24,620 --> 00:25:25,724
The detail in these.
661
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:26,965
Do you have
another one of these?
662
00:25:26,965 --> 00:25:29,275
I have one more here.
663
00:25:30,517 --> 00:25:33,000
Yeah, I think
that would be gorgeous.
664
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,310
- Stack it.
- Yeah.
665
00:25:34,310 --> 00:25:36,275
- You know what?
- I see it for the shower.
Let's do this.
666
00:25:36,275 --> 00:25:38,827
I wanna tie in the floors
with something lighter
as well.
667
00:25:38,827 --> 00:25:42,000
Yeah, we have a whole wall
of floor tiles over here
668
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,206
that we can look at.
669
00:25:43,206 --> 00:25:46,379
Some of these is just
a little bit too dark,
too bold.
670
00:25:46,379 --> 00:25:48,413
This option is nice here.
671
00:25:48,413 --> 00:25:49,517
So.
672
00:25:51,034 --> 00:25:53,862
This is nice because if you're
thinking that island feel
673
00:25:53,862 --> 00:25:57,620
while you're thinking of some
of the warm tones and blues,
674
00:25:57,620 --> 00:25:58,689
this has all
of that underneath.
675
00:25:58,689 --> 00:25:59,827
Look at the undertone.
676
00:25:59,827 --> 00:26:01,586
You can see some
of the grays and blues.
677
00:26:01,586 --> 00:26:03,896
This is a matte tile.
So, it's great for floors.
678
00:26:03,896 --> 00:26:06,034
- That could really work
with your...
- Yep.
679
00:26:06,034 --> 00:26:07,862
See how it looks
great together.
680
00:26:07,862 --> 00:26:11,379
[Drew] Oh, my gosh.
Okay, I say this is the floor.
681
00:26:11,379 --> 00:26:13,241
- Absolutely.
- This is our shower tile.
682
00:26:13,241 --> 00:26:14,379
Uh-huh.
683
00:26:14,379 --> 00:26:16,517
But I don't wanna do
a same brick-lay look
684
00:26:16,517 --> 00:26:18,586
for the other bold color that
I'm going for.
685
00:26:18,586 --> 00:26:20,517
We don't want white everywhere
in the bathroom.
686
00:26:20,517 --> 00:26:23,241
It's still a very natural,
rooted tone, but Wild.
687
00:26:23,241 --> 00:26:24,862
We need something that pops.
688
00:26:24,862 --> 00:26:27,517
[Jim] This is our desert
wildflower blooms.
689
00:26:27,517 --> 00:26:29,448
- [Drew] It's like artwork.
- [Jim] It's a painted tile.
690
00:26:29,448 --> 00:26:31,413
So, every tile is unique.
691
00:26:31,413 --> 00:26:34,586
If I was thinking
of a beach theme or something
maybe more nautical,
692
00:26:34,586 --> 00:26:36,586
that feels like what this is.
693
00:26:36,586 --> 00:26:38,206
- This feels island.
- [Jim] Yep.
694
00:26:38,206 --> 00:26:40,931
If you think of the sun
on the horizon,
695
00:26:40,931 --> 00:26:42,551
you think of some
of those warm tones.
696
00:26:42,551 --> 00:26:44,689
I think for Tadao,
this feels like home.
697
00:26:44,689 --> 00:26:47,551
This is a beautiful tile.
It's like artwork on the wall.
698
00:26:47,551 --> 00:26:49,689
The artist actually uses watercolor,
699
00:26:49,689 --> 00:26:51,724
creates the design,
then they seal it.
700
00:26:51,724 --> 00:26:53,965
And that will be
the perfect look
for this bathroom.
701
00:26:55,137 --> 00:26:58,103
I think they really work
well together.
702
00:26:58,103 --> 00:27:01,793
Yeah, I feel that this
is a winning combination.
703
00:27:01,793 --> 00:27:04,724
Forgetting this was a garage
means treating it as a part
of the main house.
704
00:27:04,724 --> 00:27:06,103
And we're doing that
by selecting
705
00:27:06,103 --> 00:27:08,241
unique design features
like these tiles.
706
00:27:10,206 --> 00:27:11,931
Every corner
of this flex space
707
00:27:11,931 --> 00:27:13,137
is gonna have purpose
708
00:27:13,137 --> 00:27:14,965
and will feel like
a boutique hotel escape
709
00:27:14,965 --> 00:27:16,310
for anyone staying here.
710
00:27:23,137 --> 00:27:24,413
[Jonathan]
With the drywall complete,
711
00:27:24,413 --> 00:27:26,931
we're installing these
stunning luxury vinyl floors
712
00:27:26,931 --> 00:27:28,758
in that tone
that Willmer selected.
713
00:27:28,758 --> 00:27:31,103
This floor will offer
maximum durability
714
00:27:31,103 --> 00:27:32,620
with all kinds of traffic,
715
00:27:32,620 --> 00:27:34,241
but it will also have
the warmth and softness
716
00:27:34,241 --> 00:27:35,793
that you'd expect
from a hardwood floor.
717
00:27:35,793 --> 00:27:37,344
[Drew] But we still have
a lot to do,
718
00:27:37,344 --> 00:27:38,689
and with only two weeks left,
719
00:27:38,689 --> 00:27:41,206
we can't displace
Tadao's family any longer.
720
00:27:41,206 --> 00:27:44,965
So, while the crew primes
the walls and preps the shower
for tile,
721
00:27:44,965 --> 00:27:48,586
Jonathan and I are painting
the new stucco to match
the rest of the house.
722
00:27:48,586 --> 00:27:49,793
Hey, where's the other suit?
723
00:27:49,793 --> 00:27:52,068
I found more paper,
tape, everything.
724
00:27:52,068 --> 00:27:53,931
- But I don't have the suit.
- [Jonathan] Oh, my gosh.
725
00:27:53,931 --> 00:27:55,655
You only wanna do
the taping job.
726
00:27:55,655 --> 00:27:57,862
Listen,
I will tape, I'll paper.
727
00:27:57,862 --> 00:27:59,655
I'll do all the stuff
that doesn't do with painting.
728
00:27:59,655 --> 00:28:01,206
You do this. I do that.
729
00:28:01,206 --> 00:28:02,827
If you spray me, you die.
730
00:28:02,827 --> 00:28:06,068
I like that we can take this
task of moving the garage door
to the other side.
731
00:28:06,068 --> 00:28:09,241
As an excuse, to also
freshen up things
on the outside, too.
732
00:28:09,241 --> 00:28:10,379
[Drew] Hey,
you're spraying me.
733
00:28:10,379 --> 00:28:12,827
[Jonathan] Did I? I felt it.
I felt the mist.
734
00:28:12,827 --> 00:28:15,206
[Jonathan] How did you turn
into the big baby
of the family?
735
00:28:23,896 --> 00:28:25,413
[Jonathan] With only a week-
and-a-half left,
736
00:28:25,413 --> 00:28:27,689
the layout of Tadao's
new flex suite
is looking amazing
737
00:28:27,689 --> 00:28:29,379
and it's ready
for the feature accents.
738
00:28:29,379 --> 00:28:31,827
The textured tile Drew chose
for the bathroom
739
00:28:31,827 --> 00:28:35,827
is really the perfect
combination of unique style
and visual pop,
740
00:28:35,827 --> 00:28:39,034
something we wanna achieve
in every corner of this space.
741
00:28:39,034 --> 00:28:40,586
[Drew]
And speaking of visual pop,
742
00:28:40,586 --> 00:28:41,931
while our chic
kitchen cabinets
743
00:28:41,931 --> 00:28:43,827
are getting installed,
Jonathan and I are installing
744
00:28:43,827 --> 00:28:46,620
these gorgeous Polynesian
sunset tiles in the shower.
745
00:28:46,620 --> 00:28:48,068
Tile me.
746
00:28:48,068 --> 00:28:50,724
So, now this is
a little bolder than
what we would typically do.
747
00:28:50,724 --> 00:28:52,413
Lucky for us,
this tile was in stock
748
00:28:52,413 --> 00:28:54,517
and it could be delivered
in days, not weeks.
749
00:28:54,517 --> 00:28:56,034
Let's hope
that our luck continues.
750
00:28:56,034 --> 00:28:58,482
With less than
two and a half weeks
and a lot left to do.
751
00:28:58,482 --> 00:29:00,482
This is making it a true suite
752
00:29:00,482 --> 00:29:02,482
because there wasn't
a bathroom in here before.
753
00:29:02,482 --> 00:29:03,931
It wouldn't have worked
for this family
754
00:29:03,931 --> 00:29:05,793
if we just added
an extra toilet and a sink.
755
00:29:05,793 --> 00:29:07,275
- [Jonathan] Yeah.
- This is so much better.
756
00:29:07,275 --> 00:29:09,413
We needed a full bathroom
because they need
757
00:29:09,413 --> 00:29:10,827
another full bathroom
in this house.
758
00:29:14,275 --> 00:29:16,206
Why am I just sitting here
handing things to you?
759
00:29:16,206 --> 00:29:18,103
[Drew]
I don't have to bend over.
760
00:29:18,103 --> 00:29:20,896
- [Jonathan] You got this.
- [Drew] Hey, you can do a cut.
761
00:29:20,896 --> 00:29:23,413
Mmm-mmm.
762
00:29:23,413 --> 00:29:27,241
[Wilmer] I'm telling you,
what you're about to discover
is bananas, bro.
763
00:29:27,241 --> 00:29:29,758
I'm super excited.
My face may not say it.
764
00:29:29,758 --> 00:29:31,275
Well, your face never says it.
765
00:29:32,413 --> 00:29:34,103
- Tadao.
- Wow.
766
00:29:35,896 --> 00:29:38,034
[Tadao] This is crazy.
767
00:29:44,965 --> 00:29:46,379
[Jonathan] We have less than
a week left
768
00:29:46,379 --> 00:29:48,827
before Tadao comes home,
and getting dangerously close
769
00:29:48,827 --> 00:29:51,000
to the end
with still a ton to do.
770
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,206
The Murphy beds have arrived
and are being installed
as we speak,
771
00:29:54,206 --> 00:29:57,586
not just one
but two queen beds.
772
00:29:57,586 --> 00:29:59,586
[Drew] Two Murphy beds.
This is what the family needs.
773
00:29:59,586 --> 00:30:01,344
It's a design feature
we've never done before,
774
00:30:01,344 --> 00:30:03,482
but it makes so much sense
for a bonus space like this.
775
00:30:03,482 --> 00:30:04,655
Two of something.
776
00:30:04,655 --> 00:30:06,310
- It's awesome, right?
- Always better than one.
777
00:30:06,310 --> 00:30:07,413
[Jonathan] Outside
778
00:30:07,413 --> 00:30:09,310
we not only have
a new tankless water heater
779
00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:11,586
being installed, but also
a new air conditioning system.
780
00:30:11,586 --> 00:30:14,068
Every single element here
has purpose,
781
00:30:14,068 --> 00:30:16,793
from the climate control
to just the overall pleasure
782
00:30:16,793 --> 00:30:18,413
of having beautiful finishes
783
00:30:18,413 --> 00:30:20,310
that lends to a better quality
of life.
784
00:30:21,931 --> 00:30:23,724
Are we gonna talk about
the elephant in the room?
785
00:30:23,724 --> 00:30:24,827
Pop-up TV.
786
00:30:24,827 --> 00:30:26,241
Hey, let me give you a clue.
787
00:30:26,241 --> 00:30:28,551
Not the matching Murphy beds.
788
00:30:28,551 --> 00:30:29,896
Oh, our matching shirts.
789
00:30:29,896 --> 00:30:31,310
How do you have
the exact same shirt?
790
00:30:31,310 --> 00:30:32,758
Because you always
make fun of my clothes.
791
00:30:32,758 --> 00:30:34,517
On set, you always
get my clothes dirty.
792
00:30:34,517 --> 00:30:36,206
So, I thought, why not
I just steal your clothes?
793
00:30:36,206 --> 00:30:37,793
Why do you have two
of the exact same shirts,
794
00:30:37,793 --> 00:30:39,758
did you copy me
or did I copy you?
795
00:30:39,758 --> 00:30:42,344
When you know you like it,
you just stick with it.
796
00:30:42,344 --> 00:30:43,551
Speaking of liking it,
797
00:30:43,551 --> 00:30:46,862
anything hidden
in secret is amazing.
798
00:30:46,862 --> 00:30:49,344
I feel like we should do
the hidden lifts more often
799
00:30:49,344 --> 00:30:51,689
because it's functional,
800
00:30:51,689 --> 00:30:53,517
great for watching TV...
tuck it away.
801
00:30:53,517 --> 00:30:55,517
Use the countertop
for whatever you want.
802
00:30:55,517 --> 00:30:57,172
I think on top of that,
all the added storage
803
00:30:57,172 --> 00:30:58,689
under here as well,
it's just great.
804
00:30:58,689 --> 00:31:00,724
Why just have like
a regular TV
805
00:31:00,724 --> 00:31:04,000
sitting on a console when you
could have it come up
out of nowhere?
806
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,379
Should we still do a stencil,
like a CNC router in?
807
00:31:07,379 --> 00:31:09,862
[Drew] I still like the idea
of using some
of the family's artwork.
808
00:31:09,862 --> 00:31:11,931
One of Tadao's cousins
is an artist
809
00:31:11,931 --> 00:31:13,241
and created these stencils.
810
00:31:13,241 --> 00:31:14,862
[Jonathan] But we would
stretch it out, right?
811
00:31:14,862 --> 00:31:16,620
So that the pattern goes
the whole door.
812
00:31:16,620 --> 00:31:18,448
[Drew] Yeah. And then
we'll paint everything white.
813
00:31:18,448 --> 00:31:20,137
It's gonna be
absolutely beautiful.
814
00:31:20,137 --> 00:31:21,448
On three, point
the one you want.
815
00:31:21,448 --> 00:31:24,068
One, two, three.
816
00:31:24,068 --> 00:31:25,896
Wait.
Are you mirroring me already?
817
00:31:25,896 --> 00:31:27,379
We'll send out
the cabinet doors
818
00:31:27,379 --> 00:31:29,068
and the pattern
to a CNC router,
819
00:31:29,068 --> 00:31:31,103
where the design will be
scanned into a computer
820
00:31:31,103 --> 00:31:33,137
and then carved right under
the face of the doors.
821
00:31:33,137 --> 00:31:36,482
It's a personalized
Polynesian touch that will add
beautiful visual interest
822
00:31:36,482 --> 00:31:38,827
and make their island guests
feel right at home.
823
00:31:38,827 --> 00:31:41,758
I love doing something like
this that is one of a kind.
824
00:31:41,758 --> 00:31:43,551
Literally, no one else
in the world
825
00:31:43,551 --> 00:31:45,206
- will have these doors.
- All right. All right.
826
00:31:45,206 --> 00:31:48,241
We go with this one,
and I'm changing my shirt.
827
00:31:48,241 --> 00:31:49,482
You can't handle it?
828
00:31:56,482 --> 00:31:57,793
[Drew] There are only
four days to go
829
00:31:57,793 --> 00:32:00,206
before we hand back
this new family flex space
830
00:32:00,206 --> 00:32:02,310
and the countertops
have finally arrived.
831
00:32:02,310 --> 00:32:04,379
This stunning centered stone countertop
832
00:32:04,379 --> 00:32:06,482
is not only durable
and stain resistant,
833
00:32:06,482 --> 00:32:08,448
it's the extra sparkle
the space needed,
834
00:32:08,448 --> 00:32:11,275
combined
with the comforting tone
of the gold sink.
835
00:32:11,275 --> 00:32:12,758
I am kind of obsessed
with this thing.
836
00:32:12,758 --> 00:32:14,275
It has that effect on people.
837
00:32:15,551 --> 00:32:17,931
All right. Let me pull this
over on itself.
838
00:32:17,931 --> 00:32:19,344
We're booking it.
839
00:32:19,344 --> 00:32:21,482
If you're trying to think
of a way to warm things up
a little bit,
840
00:32:21,482 --> 00:32:23,517
but not necessarily use
color to do that,
841
00:32:23,517 --> 00:32:24,689
you can use texture.
842
00:32:24,689 --> 00:32:26,344
And that's what
I love about grasscloth.
843
00:32:26,344 --> 00:32:28,931
It adds that gorgeous,
casual vibe.
844
00:32:28,931 --> 00:32:31,000
Okay,
I have the next piece.
845
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,310
Looking good.
846
00:32:33,310 --> 00:32:35,448
[Jonathan]
With the counters in
and our wallpaper completed,
847
00:32:35,448 --> 00:32:37,206
we are starting to see
the finish line
848
00:32:37,206 --> 00:32:40,448
and the transformed space
that will greet Tadao
when he comes home.
849
00:32:40,448 --> 00:32:41,793
For over 20 years,
850
00:32:41,793 --> 00:32:43,482
Wilmer and Tadaa
have been like brothers.
851
00:32:43,482 --> 00:32:45,551
In fact Tadao calls him
his brother.
852
00:32:45,551 --> 00:32:48,620
And so, I love the fact
that you create this bond
853
00:32:48,620 --> 00:32:50,862
and then you really know
when somebody's struggling,
854
00:32:50,862 --> 00:32:53,034
you know,
when a family member
needs help.
855
00:32:53,034 --> 00:32:55,034
Even though Tadao
has been through so much
856
00:32:55,034 --> 00:32:56,655
and he's had so much
heartache,
857
00:32:56,655 --> 00:32:59,517
he still gives and gives
and gives to everyone
around him.
858
00:32:59,517 --> 00:33:01,379
So, he really deserves
something like this.
859
00:33:09,965 --> 00:33:11,862
[Wilmer]
This is looking so good.
860
00:33:11,862 --> 00:33:14,137
It's amazing now
that we're putting
the final touches.
861
00:33:14,137 --> 00:33:17,413
It's like... it's like coming
to life in a different way.
862
00:33:17,413 --> 00:33:21,344
I have to say,
the family's artwork,
that is pretty amazing.
863
00:33:21,344 --> 00:33:24,068
It's so part of their family,
even like the rug
that you picked.
864
00:33:24,068 --> 00:33:27,448
It feels very much in tune
with the same language.
865
00:33:27,448 --> 00:33:29,413
[Drew] Yeah.
Got some good Samoan style.
866
00:33:29,413 --> 00:33:31,448
They'll push the bed up,
and we'll slide to share it.
867
00:33:32,793 --> 00:33:33,896
[Wilmer] Wow.
868
00:33:33,896 --> 00:33:35,793
Tadao has a big Samoan family.
869
00:33:35,793 --> 00:33:38,034
This is why everybody kind
of comes together.
870
00:33:38,034 --> 00:33:41,241
I'm so excited to see
what they're all gonna feel.
871
00:33:41,241 --> 00:33:42,448
They give
to everyone around them.
872
00:33:42,448 --> 00:33:44,172
They never expect
anything themselves.
873
00:33:44,172 --> 00:33:45,275
That's why they deserve this.
874
00:33:45,275 --> 00:33:46,965
And that's why Wilmer
wants to do this for them.
875
00:33:46,965 --> 00:33:48,724
This is what it's all about.
And you are family.
876
00:33:48,724 --> 00:33:50,586
So, I mean, you need
to be on this wall, too.
877
00:33:50,586 --> 00:33:52,068
By the way, you want
a good-looking wall,
878
00:33:52,068 --> 00:33:54,000
you know, we've got to have--
We need that pictures.
879
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,206
Boy, where's my photo?
I mean...
880
00:33:56,206 --> 00:33:57,655
I can't imagine
how much laughter
881
00:33:57,655 --> 00:33:59,034
is gonna be
shared here, too.
882
00:33:59,034 --> 00:34:01,241
[Jonathan] This past year
has been really tough
for Tadao.
883
00:34:01,241 --> 00:34:03,103
Not only did he lose
his mom and dad,
884
00:34:03,103 --> 00:34:04,448
but also one of his brothers.
885
00:34:04,448 --> 00:34:07,241
And I honestly think
he just needs to know
886
00:34:07,241 --> 00:34:09,275
that someone is there
to look out for him.
887
00:34:09,275 --> 00:34:10,827
And that's exactly
what Wil is doing.
888
00:34:10,827 --> 00:34:14,103
Having the extra bathroom
is gonna be a game changer
for them too.
889
00:34:14,103 --> 00:34:15,413
For sure, a 100 percent.
890
00:34:15,413 --> 00:34:16,655
This is really special here.
891
00:34:16,655 --> 00:34:18,482
All these Polynesian touches.
892
00:34:18,482 --> 00:34:20,241
It's awesome.
It's really good.
893
00:34:20,241 --> 00:34:21,862
[Jonathan] Are you
a shower singer kind of guy?
894
00:34:21,862 --> 00:34:24,000
When I was younger and then
as I grew older,
895
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,344
I realized I should probably
stop listening to myself.
896
00:34:26,344 --> 00:34:29,000
I mean, look,
if I go to karaoke,
I mean, I'll sell it.
897
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,586
What is the karaoke song?
898
00:34:30,586 --> 00:34:32,517
Dean Martin, Ain't That
a Kick in the Head?
899
00:34:32,517 --> 00:34:33,827
I can't quite remember
how that one.
900
00:34:33,827 --> 00:34:35,517
- Yeah. Okay.
- How does that--
901
00:34:35,517 --> 00:34:38,448
I think today is gonna be more
of a tribute to remember it
902
00:34:38,448 --> 00:34:40,137
and to appreciate it,
and then also
903
00:34:40,137 --> 00:34:42,965
pave the road for
the next generation
in this house.
904
00:34:50,551 --> 00:34:51,827
[Wilmer] How are you feeling?
905
00:34:51,827 --> 00:34:53,793
What's going on inside
Tadao?
906
00:34:53,793 --> 00:34:56,586
I'm super excited.
My face may not say it.
907
00:34:56,586 --> 00:34:58,586
Well,
your face never says it.
908
00:34:58,586 --> 00:35:01,862
What you're about
to discover is bananas, bro.
909
00:35:01,862 --> 00:35:03,137
I'm nervous.
910
00:35:03,137 --> 00:35:05,551
I'm nervous
and I have anxiety
of sitting in this seat
911
00:35:05,551 --> 00:35:07,655
because you being
in the driver's seat.
912
00:35:07,655 --> 00:35:10,206
Once we pull out,
the butterflies get started,
you know?
913
00:35:10,206 --> 00:35:13,379
Well, the butterflies started
a long time ago.
914
00:35:13,379 --> 00:35:15,241
[Jonathan] Tadao has been
living in a rental
915
00:35:15,241 --> 00:35:16,448
for the last four weeks.
916
00:35:16,448 --> 00:35:17,655
And this is it.
917
00:35:17,655 --> 00:35:19,517
Today is the day
where he comes back
918
00:35:19,517 --> 00:35:22,310
and he is not gonna recognize
this garage at all.
919
00:35:22,310 --> 00:35:23,379
- [Drew] Hey.
- [Jonathan] Hey.
920
00:35:23,379 --> 00:35:24,896
Tip your driver.
How are you feeling?
921
00:35:24,896 --> 00:35:26,689
Just good, good, good.
922
00:35:26,689 --> 00:35:28,965
We are already getting
smiles out of Tadao.
923
00:35:28,965 --> 00:35:30,172
- [Jonathan] Yeah.
- Success.
924
00:35:30,172 --> 00:35:32,517
- We did something right.
- Where is the garage door at?
925
00:35:32,517 --> 00:35:33,758
This is the main entrance.
926
00:35:36,862 --> 00:35:38,724
For 45 years
that we've been here,
927
00:35:38,724 --> 00:35:40,793
all I've seen was
a garage door here.
928
00:35:40,793 --> 00:35:42,689
A lot has happened
in four weeks
929
00:35:42,689 --> 00:35:46,000
and the hope is that
this is gonna make it
so much easier
930
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,896
to have your family
come and stay
931
00:35:47,896 --> 00:35:49,172
and friends come and visit.
932
00:35:49,172 --> 00:35:50,724
That means a lot.
Wil's my brother.
933
00:35:50,724 --> 00:35:52,896
He's my also-- I know
everything that he does.
934
00:35:52,896 --> 00:35:55,965
He puts a lot of thought
and effort into it.
935
00:35:55,965 --> 00:35:58,000
So, I know
there's a lot of TLC
936
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,310
that went behind
doing this for me
and my family.
937
00:36:01,310 --> 00:36:02,551
Why don't we just head inside?
938
00:36:02,551 --> 00:36:05,241
And I just hope that you can
keep up with that feng shui.
939
00:36:05,241 --> 00:36:07,586
You know, it doesn't fall
apart a week later.
940
00:36:07,586 --> 00:36:10,034
Tadao has been taking care
of Wilmer for so long,
941
00:36:10,034 --> 00:36:11,551
making sure he's okay.
942
00:36:11,551 --> 00:36:13,965
So, it's about time
things flip around.
943
00:36:13,965 --> 00:36:16,344
And Tadao.
944
00:36:16,344 --> 00:36:17,482
Wow.
945
00:36:18,551 --> 00:36:20,793
This is crazy.
946
00:36:20,793 --> 00:36:22,034
Phew!
947
00:36:22,034 --> 00:36:23,275
Breathe. Breathe.
948
00:36:23,275 --> 00:36:24,758
[Tadao] This
doesn't look like
949
00:36:24,758 --> 00:36:26,310
the garage I grew up in.
950
00:36:35,172 --> 00:36:37,379
And Tadao.
951
00:36:37,379 --> 00:36:39,517
Wow.
952
00:36:39,517 --> 00:36:41,862
This is crazy.
953
00:36:41,862 --> 00:36:45,206
This place is amazing.
954
00:36:55,310 --> 00:36:56,482
Phew!
955
00:36:56,482 --> 00:36:58,724
- Breathe. Breathe.
- Yeah.
956
00:36:58,724 --> 00:36:59,931
I'm blown away right now.
957
00:36:59,931 --> 00:37:02,931
Like, this doesn't look like
the garage I grew up in.
958
00:37:02,931 --> 00:37:04,068
Amazing.
959
00:37:04,068 --> 00:37:08,482
Like, completely 180 change
from what it used to be.
960
00:37:08,482 --> 00:37:11,931
It feels like a very homey,
welcoming space.
961
00:37:11,931 --> 00:37:14,068
I'm fighting back my tears.
962
00:37:14,068 --> 00:37:16,413
I'm about to call this room,
"The Blessing,"
963
00:37:16,413 --> 00:37:17,620
because that's what
I feel like.
964
00:37:17,620 --> 00:37:19,551
I feel blessed to be in here.
965
00:37:19,551 --> 00:37:21,724
So, what's the Samoan word
for what you would
call this space?
966
00:37:21,724 --> 00:37:22,896
Fa'amanuiaga.
967
00:37:22,896 --> 00:37:24,206
Does that mean,
"Handsome Brothers".
968
00:37:24,206 --> 00:37:26,000
Two fa'amanuiaga means
"two handsome brothers."
969
00:37:28,620 --> 00:37:30,310
[Wilmer] Let's show
a little bit of what we have.
970
00:37:30,310 --> 00:37:31,620
This is wild.
971
00:37:31,620 --> 00:37:34,655
So, this is actually
a hidden bed.
972
00:37:34,655 --> 00:37:36,068
- It's a murphy bed.
- [Tadao] Oh, wow.
973
00:37:36,068 --> 00:37:37,862
So, look at this.
974
00:37:37,862 --> 00:37:39,896
Wow. That's crazy.
975
00:37:39,896 --> 00:37:41,413
Not only that,
976
00:37:41,413 --> 00:37:42,931
you have a matching
one on the other side.
977
00:37:42,931 --> 00:37:45,068
- [Wilmer] You have two.
- [Jonathan] So
there's two of them.
978
00:37:45,068 --> 00:37:47,965
I could actually just come
and take a nap in here.
979
00:37:47,965 --> 00:37:49,517
[Wilmer] Yeah, well,
you had the doghouse.
980
00:37:49,517 --> 00:37:50,689
Yeah.
981
00:37:50,689 --> 00:37:52,413
You're gonna get into
trouble more often on purpose.
982
00:37:52,413 --> 00:37:53,793
Oh, purposely.
983
00:37:53,793 --> 00:37:55,758
I'll open this one as well,
just so you can see
the two beds
984
00:37:55,758 --> 00:37:56,931
down at the same time.
985
00:37:56,931 --> 00:37:58,793
If you pull that forward,
sometimes you might just use
986
00:37:58,793 --> 00:38:00,206
it as a lounging space.
987
00:38:00,206 --> 00:38:01,655
But when you need it.
988
00:38:01,655 --> 00:38:02,862
- Look at that.
- Yeah.
989
00:38:02,862 --> 00:38:04,172
[Tadao] Twin beds.
990
00:38:04,172 --> 00:38:07,275
It's gonna take me a few days,
maybe a few weeks,
991
00:38:07,275 --> 00:38:09,965
to see everything
that's in there.
992
00:38:09,965 --> 00:38:12,275
[Drew] Do you feel like
maybe watching
a little bit of TV?
993
00:38:12,275 --> 00:38:14,517
- [Tadao] Wow.
- [Drew] How cool is that?
994
00:38:14,517 --> 00:38:16,793
Whatever family members
that come and visit,
995
00:38:16,793 --> 00:38:18,896
they're gonna feel like
they're not in Carson.
996
00:38:18,896 --> 00:38:21,517
As soon as we started putting
the final touches here,
997
00:38:21,517 --> 00:38:22,689
immediately I was like,
998
00:38:22,689 --> 00:38:24,551
"We're definitely
somewhere else in the planet."
999
00:38:24,551 --> 00:38:26,689
[Tadao] Yeah, man.
Thank you, guys.
1000
00:38:26,689 --> 00:38:28,517
This is beyond
my dreams out here.
1001
00:38:28,517 --> 00:38:29,793
Beyond.
1002
00:38:29,793 --> 00:38:31,551
The poetry of that room
is incredible...
1003
00:38:31,551 --> 00:38:34,517
to turn a space
from that dark garage
1004
00:38:34,517 --> 00:38:35,965
into something
that's forever.
1005
00:38:35,965 --> 00:38:37,724
It's unbelievable
what you can do.
1006
00:38:37,724 --> 00:38:39,793
This couch is gonna
last for forever.
1007
00:38:39,793 --> 00:38:41,413
Everybody can have
a game night here.
1008
00:38:41,413 --> 00:38:42,551
It's great.
1009
00:38:42,551 --> 00:38:45,275
Right now, I wanna just
pick up my jaw right now.
1010
00:38:45,275 --> 00:38:46,517
[laughing]
1011
00:38:46,517 --> 00:38:48,862
This is gonna be like almost
the main feature of the house.
1012
00:38:48,862 --> 00:38:51,137
- The new house fun.
- Yeah, the new house. Yeah.
1013
00:38:51,137 --> 00:38:54,000
Now I can invite Wilmer
to come to Carson.
1014
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,620
Hey, Wil.
1015
00:38:55,620 --> 00:38:56,862
Game night.
1016
00:38:56,862 --> 00:38:58,827
[Jonathan] Do you recognize
what we did on the doors here?
1017
00:38:58,827 --> 00:39:01,000
- [Tadao] Yeah.
- [Wilmer]
This is amazing, right?
1018
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,000
[Jonathan] We had the shop
custom make those.
1019
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,586
And my cousin prints
Polynesian designs on.
1020
00:39:05,586 --> 00:39:07,517
We call them...
[speaking Samoan]
1021
00:39:07,517 --> 00:39:09,793
[Tadao] This is like
a print that he puts on.
1022
00:39:09,793 --> 00:39:12,551
Now he knows that he has
a little memory permanently
1023
00:39:12,551 --> 00:39:13,758
etched into the house, too.
1024
00:39:13,758 --> 00:39:15,206
[Tadao]
I'm in heaven in here.
1025
00:39:15,206 --> 00:39:17,724
This is a game changer
for everybody.
1026
00:39:17,724 --> 00:39:19,206
[Wilmer] Mmm-hmm.
1027
00:39:19,206 --> 00:39:22,862
I'm happy because
we can't even imagine
1028
00:39:22,862 --> 00:39:24,275
what a family goes through
to struggle
1029
00:39:24,275 --> 00:39:25,620
to actually be there
for each other.
1030
00:39:25,620 --> 00:39:27,689
And to have a space like this.
1031
00:39:29,103 --> 00:39:30,379
Thanks, bro.
1032
00:39:30,379 --> 00:39:33,034
[Wilmer] It's everything
to me to make my family
1033
00:39:33,034 --> 00:39:34,793
and my friends happy,
1034
00:39:34,793 --> 00:39:38,000
being able to show up for them
like they've shown up for me.
1035
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,413
[Jonathan]
We wanted to make sure it had
1036
00:39:39,413 --> 00:39:41,206
a little bit of everything
that you need in here.
1037
00:39:41,206 --> 00:39:43,793
These are forever moments,
and we'll never forget this.
1038
00:39:43,793 --> 00:39:45,724
[Tadao] Seeing a lot
of family photos in here
1039
00:39:45,724 --> 00:39:48,000
that are really amazing
and awesome.
1040
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:49,724
Thank you guys for that.
1041
00:39:49,724 --> 00:39:51,758
Right there,
behind door number one.
1042
00:39:51,758 --> 00:39:52,965
Okay.
1043
00:39:54,551 --> 00:39:59,241
Wow,
this is freaking amazing, bro.
1044
00:39:59,241 --> 00:40:01,689
[Wilmer] Yeah, bro,
this is gonna serve us
a lot.
1045
00:40:01,689 --> 00:40:04,034
Sometimes it's hard
to kind of point out
1046
00:40:04,034 --> 00:40:06,620
what's making you feel
this kind of cozy feeling,
1047
00:40:06,620 --> 00:40:10,034
but you'd notice that the wall
is actually not just
a super wall,
1048
00:40:10,034 --> 00:40:12,413
- it's a grasscloth wallpaper...
- [Jonathan] Yeah.
1049
00:40:12,413 --> 00:40:14,206
[Wilmer]
...which kind of warms it up.
1050
00:40:14,206 --> 00:40:16,000
You wouldn't expect it,
but you just feel it.
1051
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,758
- And you will feel it.
- [Wilmer] Yeah.
1052
00:40:17,758 --> 00:40:20,758
[Drew]
It's all the little elements
to the light fixtures,
1053
00:40:20,758 --> 00:40:22,172
the height,
we captured some height
1054
00:40:22,172 --> 00:40:23,758
and also we added
all the recessed lights
1055
00:40:23,758 --> 00:40:26,344
as well so that you have that
bright feel in here.
1056
00:40:26,344 --> 00:40:28,344
It's all about having
a stylish space,
1057
00:40:28,344 --> 00:40:30,689
a bright space,
but also functional space.
1058
00:40:30,689 --> 00:40:32,034
Laundry is part of that.
1059
00:40:32,034 --> 00:40:33,551
An oasis bathroom
is the other part.
1060
00:40:35,689 --> 00:40:37,275
Wow.
1061
00:40:37,275 --> 00:40:38,896
It's a dugout fancy.
1062
00:40:38,896 --> 00:40:40,827
- Oh. Oh.
- Wow.
1063
00:40:40,827 --> 00:40:42,724
This is crazy.
1064
00:40:42,724 --> 00:40:44,000
Wow. The shower.
1065
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,448
[Jonathan] You needed
a full bathroom
1066
00:40:45,448 --> 00:40:48,000
with a shower
and something that's
a little bit more spacious,
1067
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,344
so you don't feel cramped
in there.
1068
00:40:49,344 --> 00:40:51,103
What do you think
of that artisanal tile?
1069
00:40:51,103 --> 00:40:52,586
It screams Polynesia.
1070
00:40:52,586 --> 00:40:55,000
[Jonathan] Maybe it looks like
a certain time of day.
1071
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,862
Yeah.
Like the morning sunrise.
1072
00:40:56,862 --> 00:40:58,862
Boom.
That's what we were going for.
1073
00:40:58,862 --> 00:41:01,068
Yeah, that's exactly
what that looks like.
1074
00:41:01,068 --> 00:41:03,275
The brass finishes...
it just elevates it.
1075
00:41:03,275 --> 00:41:04,827
I'd definitely pay
to stay here.
1076
00:41:04,827 --> 00:41:07,137
We'll let you be
the first to be in it.
1077
00:41:07,137 --> 00:41:08,758
All right, Tadao.
We'll give you a minute.
1078
00:41:10,517 --> 00:41:13,517
Knowing that this is a space
that Tadao's dad
1079
00:41:13,517 --> 00:41:15,655
always wanted
to do something like this in.
1080
00:41:15,655 --> 00:41:17,586
I think that's probably
what's hitting him the most
1081
00:41:17,586 --> 00:41:19,586
because he finally
made it happen.
1082
00:41:19,586 --> 00:41:21,931
I mean, I think it's gonna
make it even more exciting
1083
00:41:21,931 --> 00:41:24,482
to actually maybe have
your family come and join you
1084
00:41:24,482 --> 00:41:26,586
- while you're in here.
- Oh, wow.
1085
00:41:26,586 --> 00:41:29,172
I think he knows that
his parents would be
so proud.
1086
00:41:29,172 --> 00:41:31,482
His whole family will be
so excited to come
1087
00:41:31,482 --> 00:41:33,275
and share this space together.
1088
00:41:33,275 --> 00:41:34,482
[Wilmer] What do you think?
1089
00:41:38,827 --> 00:41:41,068
- [Tadao] Crazy, huh?
- [Nicole] Yes.
1090
00:41:41,068 --> 00:41:42,448
Crazy it is.
1091
00:41:42,448 --> 00:41:44,103
Oh, my gosh.
1092
00:41:44,103 --> 00:41:46,724
This is something that
my father-in-law wanted.
1093
00:41:46,724 --> 00:41:48,448
He wanted to do for them.
1094
00:41:49,689 --> 00:41:50,896
Like shaking.
1095
00:41:50,896 --> 00:41:52,965
[Wilmer clears throat]
1096
00:41:52,965 --> 00:41:56,586
- [Wilmer speaking]
- [Jonathan] It's okay.
1097
00:41:56,586 --> 00:41:59,482
[Wilmer speaking]
1098
00:41:59,482 --> 00:42:00,862
I'm very blessed
to have someone
1099
00:42:00,862 --> 00:42:03,344
who's looked after me
and whose integrity
1100
00:42:03,344 --> 00:42:05,862
and values is the same as,
you know, my family.
1101
00:42:05,862 --> 00:42:07,862
They may come
from South America
and I come from...
1102
00:42:07,862 --> 00:42:10,000
my family comes
from the South Pacific,
1103
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,689
but both cultures
is based around family.
1104
00:42:12,689 --> 00:42:14,586
I think for so many
of our cultures,
1105
00:42:14,586 --> 00:42:18,206
getting that first home,
you know, is the biggest gift.
1106
00:42:18,206 --> 00:42:19,620
It is the American dream.
1107
00:42:19,620 --> 00:42:23,068
You start to really realizing
how many lives
that home can touch.
1108
00:42:23,068 --> 00:42:26,724
And the Salima family
is a testament of that.
1109
00:42:26,724 --> 00:42:28,448
- [speaking Samoan]
- You're welcome, bro.
1110
00:42:28,448 --> 00:42:30,068
Thanks, bro.
1111
00:42:30,068 --> 00:42:31,689
Wow.
1112
00:42:31,689 --> 00:42:34,034
Come on in.
Come on in.
1113
00:42:34,034 --> 00:42:35,310
Join the fam.
1114
00:42:35,310 --> 00:42:38,724
Before we go on, you guys,
we have some gifts
for you guys
1115
00:42:38,724 --> 00:42:42,241
as a thank you
from our family to you guys.
1116
00:42:42,241 --> 00:42:43,655
Thank you.
1117
00:42:43,655 --> 00:42:45,413
These are called...
[speaking in Samoan]
1118
00:42:45,413 --> 00:42:47,000
- [speaking in Samoan]
- [Tadao] Yep.
1119
00:42:49,758 --> 00:42:50,931
Thank you, bro.
1120
00:42:53,827 --> 00:42:55,241
We love you.
1121
00:42:55,241 --> 00:42:57,862
Wherever life takes us,
we'll find our way
to be there together.
1122
00:42:57,862 --> 00:42:59,482
- We love you, brother. Yeah.
- Love you, too.
1123
00:42:59,482 --> 00:43:01,068
There you go.
1124
00:43:01,068 --> 00:43:02,586
[yelling]
1124
00:43:03,305 --> 00:44:03,886
Do you want subtitles for any video?
