00:00:01,689 --> 00:00:02,862
<i>He made us laugh as Fez.</i>
2
00:00:02,862 --> 00:00:04,103
<i>And now he solves crimes as Nick Torres.</i>
3
00:00:04,103 --> 00:00:05,620
<i>But with all his success,</i>
4
00:00:05,620 --> 00:00:07,482
<i>Wilmer Valderrama never forgets</i>
5
00:00:07,482 --> 00:00:08,965
<i>who helped him get to where he is today.</i>
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
<i>And that's why he has a surprise for Tadao.</i>
8
00:00:12,620 --> 00:00:14,310
Oh, oh.
9
00:00:14,310 --> 00:00:16,034
<i>His best friend of 20 years.</i>
10
00:00:16,034 --> 00:00:18,275
<i>During those 20s when you need an older brother,</i>
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
<i>And the man, Wilmer says, helped him through some tough times.</i>
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
<i>To show his immense gratitude,</i>
17
00:00:29,620 --> 00:00:30,793
<i>there's something very rewarding</i>
18
00:00:30,793 --> 00:00:32,379
about just breaking .
19
00:00:33,551 --> 00:00:34,931
Whoa!
20
00:00:34,931 --> 00:00:37,896
<i>Wilmer wants to turn Tadao's garage into a flex space.</i>
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
<i>To not only continue the tradition Tadao's father</i>
23
00:00:43,310 --> 00:00:45,172
<i>started almost 50 years ago.</i>
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
<i>But to give a gift...</i>
28
00:00:53,103 --> 00:00:56,551
Because of <i>That '70s Show'</i> 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
<i>That will bring even this mountain of a man...</i>
31
00:01:01,172 --> 00:01:03,034
Wow.
32
00:01:03,034 --> 00:01:05,620
- Thanks, bro. - <i>...to tears.</i>
33
00:01:05,620 --> 00:01:07,172
<i>Thank you so much, brother.</i>
34
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:15,074
35
00:01:19,862 --> 00:01:21,241
<i>I have a question for you.</i>
36
00:01:21,241 --> 00:01:24,551
The comedy genius that came out of you for <i>That '70s Show</i>
37
00:01:24,551 --> 00:01:28,344
and then that serious special agent for <i>NCIS,</i>
38
00:01:28,344 --> 00:01:30,034
what's more you, what's more your personality?
39
00:01:30,034 --> 00:01:31,310
I'm a clown.
40
00:01:31,310 --> 00:01:34,241
I think I'm closer to Fez than I am closer to federal agent.
41
00:01:34,241 --> 00:01:36,724
And I certainly couldn't solve a crime if you asked me.
42
00:01:36,724 --> 00:01:38,862
<i>Today, we've been recruited by the very talented</i>
43
00:01:38,862 --> 00:01:40,379
and funny Wilmer Valderrama
44
00:01:40,379 --> 00:01:43,551
to help surprise his best friend of 20 years, Tadao.
45
00:01:43,551 --> 00:01:44,793
I mean, not only have these two been
46
00:01:44,793 --> 00:01:46,758
extremely close friends over the years,
47
00:01:46,758 --> 00:01:50,000
<i>but Tadao was the rock that Wilmer leaned on during his early career.</i>
48
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,724
I credit Tadao majorly for how I turned out.
49
00:01:54,724 --> 00:01:56,586
I didn't have like older brothers.
50
00:01:56,586 --> 00:02:00,034
I was just by myself in this industry as a young man,
51
00:02:00,034 --> 00:02:02,793
you know, you're out there testing your boundaries
52
00:02:02,793 --> 00:02:05,000
and my dad is so far remote from here.
53
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,586
- My mom is so far remote. - Yeah.
54
00:02:06,586 --> 00:02:08,586
And he was my moral compass.
55
00:02:08,586 --> 00:02:10,620
He was the guy who kept the integrity,
56
00:02:10,620 --> 00:02:15,000
made sure that I never did anything that I would regret.
57
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,103
Ultimately, you know, he was kind of that presence.
58
00:02:18,103 --> 00:02:19,448
He was that-- he was my older brother.
59
00:02:19,448 --> 00:02:21,137
He was the guy who kind of looked after me
60
00:02:21,137 --> 00:02:23,620
and specifically, you know, then he moved in with me.
61
00:02:23,620 --> 00:02:25,103
He was my roommate for a long time
62
00:02:25,103 --> 00:02:27,379
and also my guardian angel in many ways.
63
00:02:27,379 --> 00:02:31,241
Then I met his family, and I would just frequent Carson all the time.
64
00:02:31,241 --> 00:02:33,344
So, what's the deal with the garage that's there?
65
00:02:33,344 --> 00:02:35,344
Is it because there's lots of family and visitors?
66
00:02:35,344 --> 00:02:36,827
They just need the extra square footage?
67
00:02:36,827 --> 00:02:38,000
<i>Absolutely.</i>
68
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,862
The Salima family has been the welcoming committee
69
00:02:40,862 --> 00:02:43,241
for so much of the Polynesian community in Carson.
70
00:02:43,241 --> 00:02:45,931
When people come from Samoa to visit family,
71
00:02:45,931 --> 00:02:47,275
they land there first.
72
00:02:47,275 --> 00:02:49,862
His house has become this haven.
73
00:02:49,862 --> 00:02:53,344
It's meant so much to the heritage of their last name.
74
00:02:53,344 --> 00:02:55,448
So, you know, everyone still lives there,
75
00:02:55,448 --> 00:03:01,034
you know, and it's not a big enough house for one,
76
00:03:01,034 --> 00:03:02,896
their big personalities, okay?
77
00:03:03,931 --> 00:03:06,137
But also, you know, for their family,
78
00:03:06,137 --> 00:03:08,034
you know, and they always have guests,
79
00:03:08,034 --> 00:03:10,551
they always have people coming in now from Samoa,
80
00:03:10,551 --> 00:03:13,034
<i>being part of this long tradition of where their parents</i>
81
00:03:13,034 --> 00:03:16,413
have made, which is keep an open door, they need to expand.
82
00:03:16,413 --> 00:03:17,551
<i>Does he know anything?</i>
83
00:03:17,551 --> 00:03:19,172
- Does he know that we're a part of this? - No.
84
00:03:19,172 --> 00:03:20,689
Does he know you're , so super surprised.
85
00:03:20,689 --> 00:03:21,862
That's the best.
86
00:03:21,862 --> 00:03:24,103
This is literally the best part of our job.
87
00:03:24,103 --> 00:03:26,241
- <i>Is this it?</i> - <i>Yeah, right here. This is it.</i>
88
00:03:26,241 --> 00:03:28,000
<i>Let's get sneaky.</i>
89
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,206
Okay, let's do this.
90
00:03:31,241 --> 00:03:33,172
We'll go right over here.
91
00:03:33,172 --> 00:03:34,793
So, I only get one take in.
92
00:03:34,793 --> 00:03:36,000
I'll go in one take.
93
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,310
Wilmer was like a big kid.
94
00:03:37,310 --> 00:03:40,344
He was so excited just to see the look on Tadao's face
95
00:03:40,344 --> 00:03:41,517
when he surprises them.
96
00:03:41,517 --> 00:03:43,689
- What are you doing here? - Come out here, bro. Come out.
97
00:03:45,206 --> 00:03:46,517
- What are you doing here? - So, Tadao.
98
00:03:47,689 --> 00:03:49,172
Oh, don't worry about my friends over here.
99
00:03:49,172 --> 00:03:50,724
As soon as I knock on his door, he's like,
100
00:03:50,724 --> 00:03:52,206
"What is Wilmer up to now?"
101
00:03:53,724 --> 00:03:55,206
What brings you to Carson today?
102
00:03:55,206 --> 00:03:56,551
So, you know, the food.
103
00:03:57,931 --> 00:03:59,344
I guess I'll just rip it like a Band-Aid.
104
00:03:59,344 --> 00:04:03,068
So, you've been my brother for many, many years.
105
00:04:03,068 --> 00:04:04,724
We've been through the ups and downs,
106
00:04:04,724 --> 00:04:06,482
and I have an interesting opportunity
107
00:04:06,482 --> 00:04:08,896
to do something fun for the families
108
00:04:08,896 --> 00:04:10,413
in commemoration of our friendship.
109
00:04:10,413 --> 00:04:13,310
And I brought some friends to help me.
110
00:04:13,310 --> 00:04:14,551
- You guys, come here. - Oh.
111
00:04:14,551 --> 00:04:15,724
- Oh, oh. - Hey.
112
00:04:15,724 --> 00:04:16,793
Hello. How are you?
113
00:04:16,793 --> 00:04:17,931
Good, man. What's up, fellas?
114
00:04:17,931 --> 00:04:19,103
Hey, good to finally meet you.
115
00:04:19,103 --> 00:04:21,000
We hear, you know, we could be a little bit of help.
116
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,482
We'll see you guys on TV. I'm big fans of you guys.
117
00:04:23,482 --> 00:04:24,724
From everything we hear about you,
118
00:04:24,724 --> 00:04:25,862
we're big fans of you.
119
00:04:25,862 --> 00:04:28,310
Oh, well, you know, thank you.
120
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:30,206
We've done the ambush a few times,
121
00:04:30,206 --> 00:04:31,896
but Wilmer handled it like a pro.
122
00:04:31,896 --> 00:04:34,034
We're not going to tell you exactly what we're going to do,
123
00:04:34,034 --> 00:04:36,103
but it should be something pretty special.
124
00:04:36,103 --> 00:04:37,965
Yeah. Thank you.
125
00:04:37,965 --> 00:04:39,551
This is just a surprise for me,
126
00:04:39,551 --> 00:04:40,689
for you to even be here.
127
00:04:40,689 --> 00:04:41,827
You know what you mean to me.
128
00:04:41,827 --> 00:04:43,379
And you know what, you've been to my life,
129
00:04:43,379 --> 00:04:47,206
and I just felt it was time for the next chapter of this castle
130
00:04:47,206 --> 00:04:49,551
that has housed so many generations of Samoans.
131
00:04:51,034 --> 00:04:54,068
<i>During those 20s, the early 30s of my life</i>
132
00:04:54,068 --> 00:04:55,724
<i>when you need an older brother,</i>
133
00:04:55,724 --> 00:04:57,586
and he was the one that was there for that.
134
00:04:57,586 --> 00:05:01,103
I consider Wilmer as one of my... one of my <i>usos</i>
135
00:05:01,103 --> 00:05:03,724
<i>and we don't take that word very lightly.</i>
136
00:05:03,724 --> 00:05:07,137
For Samoan, considers another man and also,
137
00:05:07,137 --> 00:05:10,310
<i>he's telling him that you are my brother.</i>
138
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:11,689
<i>Blood doesn't make you family,</i>
139
00:05:11,689 --> 00:05:13,206
loyalty makes you family.
140
00:05:13,206 --> 00:05:16,206
Definitely I have amounts of gratitude
141
00:05:16,206 --> 00:05:17,517
<i>to pay back to him</i>
142
00:05:17,517 --> 00:05:20,620
<i>when I was a young actor, end of scene,</i>
143
00:05:20,620 --> 00:05:22,827
<i>and it could have been a left, you know?</i>
144
00:05:22,827 --> 00:05:24,379
But I kept going right.
145
00:05:24,379 --> 00:05:25,931
<i>Doing security work for Wil,</i>
146
00:05:25,931 --> 00:05:27,551
<i>if I didn't feel somebody's vibe</i>
147
00:05:27,551 --> 00:05:30,758
or if I felt like somebody was hanging out for the wrong reasons,
148
00:05:30,758 --> 00:05:32,103
<i>I would have to cut them off.</i>
149
00:05:32,103 --> 00:05:34,689
<i>We spent two decades of our lives</i>
150
00:05:34,689 --> 00:05:37,206
<i>being there for each other at times</i>
151
00:05:37,206 --> 00:05:39,517
that were incredibly vulnerable for us.
152
00:05:39,517 --> 00:05:42,034
<i>I leaned on him a lot on what to do,</i>
153
00:05:42,034 --> 00:05:44,275
<i>what not to do for my family.</i>
154
00:05:44,275 --> 00:05:46,620
My ups and downs in my career as well.
155
00:05:46,620 --> 00:05:50,931
He's been there for me when I lost my mom.
156
00:05:50,931 --> 00:05:53,517
<i>She passed away of heart failure</i>
157
00:05:53,517 --> 00:05:55,448
<i>and then my younger brother,</i>
158
00:05:55,448 --> 00:05:59,137
<i>he went in and he passed away of COVID complications.</i>
159
00:05:59,137 --> 00:06:02,103
<i>Last thing I remember texting him was, "Stay strong."</i>
160
00:06:02,103 --> 00:06:03,275
<i>You know?</i>
161
00:06:06,413 --> 00:06:08,000
Mom's gonna watch over us
162
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,758
and you know you're gonna make it out of there.
163
00:06:10,862 --> 00:06:13,034
Nobody was able to go in there with him
164
00:06:13,034 --> 00:06:14,413
and hold his hand
165
00:06:16,206 --> 00:06:18,034
and, you know, pray for him
166
00:06:18,034 --> 00:06:20,758
and just tell him everything is gonna be okay.
167
00:06:20,758 --> 00:06:22,517
<i>You know, same thing with my dad.</i>
168
00:06:22,517 --> 00:06:25,586
<i>Ten days later, my dad passed away of COVID.</i>
169
00:06:27,068 --> 00:06:30,793
You know, if I can just be half the man that he was.
170
00:06:32,793 --> 00:06:35,344
I will consider myself successful.
171
00:06:35,344 --> 00:06:36,862
One of the things that really brought me
172
00:06:36,862 --> 00:06:39,896
a lot of hope was the grace that him and his family
173
00:06:39,896 --> 00:06:43,206
<i>had throughout the face of this traumatic moment for their family.</i>
174
00:06:43,206 --> 00:06:44,551
They leaned on their faith.
175
00:06:44,551 --> 00:06:46,551
They leaned on their culture.
176
00:06:46,551 --> 00:06:49,689
<i>So, when I think about how they were able to lean on one another,</i>
177
00:06:49,689 --> 00:06:52,551
I feel having the ability to share a meal with somebody
178
00:06:52,551 --> 00:06:53,931
and you can pay for the tap,
179
00:06:53,931 --> 00:06:55,758
<i>never let anyone pay, you know,</i>
180
00:06:55,758 --> 00:06:58,724
to be in a position to be able to be part of this.
181
00:06:58,724 --> 00:07:02,000
It just means... it means so much.
182
00:07:04,172 --> 00:07:05,413
How many people live in the house?
183
00:07:05,413 --> 00:07:09,482
Currently, seven of my siblings and my two nieces.
184
00:07:09,482 --> 00:07:11,758
This house here, when my parents were alive,
185
00:07:11,758 --> 00:07:14,689
was a stable of like our family.
186
00:07:14,689 --> 00:07:17,275
So, for the past 45 years, you know,
187
00:07:17,275 --> 00:07:20,310
every time family members from back home in Samoa would come out here,
188
00:07:20,310 --> 00:07:21,689
we would tell them, "You know,
189
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."
190
00:07:23,931 --> 00:07:25,310
Oh, wow.
191
00:07:25,310 --> 00:07:29,000
And so, you're keeping this legacy going by still being that hub.
192
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,241
Yes.
193
00:07:30,241 --> 00:07:33,103
- Every square foot counts. - Yeah.
194
00:07:33,103 --> 00:07:35,448
This is really a fellow that has been through
195
00:07:35,448 --> 00:07:38,034
so much and he continues to keep giving,
196
00:07:38,034 --> 00:07:40,896
which I think is the reason why Wilmer just wants to come in
197
00:07:40,896 --> 00:07:42,931
and do something that will make life easier.
198
00:07:42,931 --> 00:07:44,344
We're gonna make this fantastic,
199
00:07:44,344 --> 00:07:46,310
and you don't have to worry about a thing.
200
00:07:46,310 --> 00:07:48,689
Phew! I'm at a loss for words.
201
00:07:48,689 --> 00:07:50,758
There's not enough thank-yous in the world
202
00:07:50,758 --> 00:07:54,482
or even the words to say how grateful I am.
203
00:07:54,482 --> 00:07:55,931
First opportunity that you're giving me
204
00:07:55,931 --> 00:07:57,620
and my brothers and sisters, bro.
205
00:07:57,620 --> 00:08:00,103
- It's family. - Thank you, man.
206
00:08:00,103 --> 00:08:03,689
<i>To see my brother Tadao become one with his emotions.</i>
207
00:08:04,862 --> 00:08:06,689
Obviously, it filled me up with joy
208
00:08:06,689 --> 00:08:08,482
because I knew that we were doing the right thing.
209
00:08:08,482 --> 00:08:10,724
But we have to unfortunately, you know,
210
00:08:10,724 --> 00:08:12,827
kick you out of your house for a short period, a few weeks.
211
00:08:12,827 --> 00:08:14,517
But I think it's going to be worth it in the end.
212
00:08:14,517 --> 00:08:17,931
So, Wilmer has actually set up a place for you to be able to stay.
213
00:08:17,931 --> 00:08:19,379
- Okay. - You're going to be taken care of.
214
00:08:19,379 --> 00:08:21,965
We also have a car for you to head to lunch,
215
00:08:21,965 --> 00:08:23,413
and he'll meet you in a little bit.
216
00:08:23,413 --> 00:08:25,517
We just need to kind of snoop around your house a little bit here.
217
00:08:25,517 --> 00:08:27,172
Okay. I trust my brother.
218
00:08:28,344 --> 00:08:29,724
- Thank you, guys. - Yeah.
219
00:08:29,724 --> 00:08:31,000
- We'll see you soon. - Yep.
220
00:08:32,689 --> 00:08:34,206
- Love you bro. - Love you too, brother.
221
00:08:35,379 --> 00:08:36,482
<i>Okay.</i>
222
00:08:36,482 --> 00:08:39,379
So, I believe the garage is the one that
223
00:08:39,379 --> 00:08:41,689
could really be the game-changing moment for the family.
224
00:08:41,689 --> 00:08:44,862
Okay. Has it already been converted?
225
00:08:44,862 --> 00:08:46,206
<i>Oh, so it hasn't been converted.</i>
226
00:08:46,206 --> 00:08:47,379
<i>It's still a garage.</i>
227
00:08:47,379 --> 00:08:48,482
<i>Oh.</i>
228
00:08:50,517 --> 00:08:52,758
- This is like the overflow room. - Yeah.
229
00:08:52,758 --> 00:08:54,724
Tadao was saying that he had family come and stay,
230
00:08:54,724 --> 00:08:57,068
<i>and I can see why they're just putting extra mattresses wherever.</i>
231
00:08:57,068 --> 00:08:58,551
The idea would be to,
232
00:08:58,551 --> 00:09:00,482
you know, make this another living space
233
00:09:00,482 --> 00:09:02,793
in which it's actually equipped for a living
234
00:09:02,793 --> 00:09:04,586
as opposed to staying in the garage.
235
00:09:04,586 --> 00:09:07,379
Part of the renovation, I'd want to get rid of that
236
00:09:07,379 --> 00:09:08,758
old garage smell.
237
00:09:08,758 --> 00:09:09,862
- Yeah. - Yeah.
238
00:09:09,862 --> 00:09:13,620
Can this serve as an actual space that
239
00:09:13,620 --> 00:09:16,413
can alleviate the stress that some of the other rooms
240
00:09:16,413 --> 00:09:18,137
in the house have been experiencing
241
00:09:18,137 --> 00:09:19,482
and enduring over the years.
242
00:09:19,482 --> 00:09:21,586
There's laundry right now, so there's obviously
243
00:09:21,586 --> 00:09:22,793
<i>they've got some plumbing.</i>
244
00:09:22,793 --> 00:09:25,620
Would you want to do, like a bathroom, a kitchenette?
245
00:09:25,620 --> 00:09:26,965
- Like what? - I mean, I think so.
246
00:09:26,965 --> 00:09:29,758
I think that this has potential to be a nicer studio,
247
00:09:29,758 --> 00:09:31,724
something that's pretty sustainable.
248
00:09:31,724 --> 00:09:33,758
It has its own interest and its own access.
249
00:09:33,758 --> 00:09:36,103
So you don't necessarily... if you have a guest,
250
00:09:36,103 --> 00:09:38,551
they don't have to go through the kitchen to go to the bathroom.
251
00:09:38,551 --> 00:09:40,586
<i>There is a door into the main house, which I see.</i>
252
00:09:40,586 --> 00:09:42,241
<i>So that's handy.</i>
253
00:09:42,241 --> 00:09:45,310
We'd wanna get rid of the garage door,
254
00:09:45,310 --> 00:09:48,586
insulate and soundproof it so that you don't hear all the traffic.
255
00:09:48,586 --> 00:09:50,103
Sure. Sure.
256
00:09:50,103 --> 00:09:53,448
I'm noticing massive cracking and heaving in the slab.
257
00:09:53,448 --> 00:09:55,724
<i>We'll either have to pull this slab out completely</i>
258
00:09:55,724 --> 00:09:58,068
or pour a whole new slab on top.
259
00:09:58,068 --> 00:10:00,034
The good thing is we do have some extra height.
260
00:10:00,034 --> 00:10:02,241
If you had to build another floor on top of this
261
00:10:02,241 --> 00:10:03,620
and it's gonna raise up a little bit,
262
00:10:03,620 --> 00:10:05,482
<i>I think going up would be good.</i>
263
00:10:05,482 --> 00:10:07,034
Upgrading some of the furniture,
264
00:10:07,034 --> 00:10:08,931
I think, would be...
265
00:10:08,931 --> 00:10:11,586
- I think it's time. - Yeah, I think so. Yeah.
266
00:10:11,586 --> 00:10:13,448
This probably was actually in the garage.
267
00:10:13,448 --> 00:10:15,413
This was like a work surface or something like that.
268
00:10:15,413 --> 00:10:18,931
<i>And honestly, if we do what I think we could do in here,</i>
269
00:10:18,931 --> 00:10:21,206
some of the family who are living in the house
270
00:10:21,206 --> 00:10:22,965
and we're like, "No, I want it out there.
271
00:10:22,965 --> 00:10:25,068
- I want to--" - Yeah, of course.
272
00:10:25,068 --> 00:10:27,068
<i>More livable space is exactly</i>
273
00:10:27,068 --> 00:10:28,620
<i>what Tadao's family needs.</i>
274
00:10:28,620 --> 00:10:30,620
<i>And a chic and functional flex space</i>
275
00:10:30,620 --> 00:10:32,827
<i>in the garage is the perfect solution.</i>
276
00:10:32,827 --> 00:10:36,103
<i>First, we'll lay luxury vinyl floors throughout.</i>
277
00:10:36,103 --> 00:10:40,137
<i>The mid-tone wood plank will add sophistication and durability,</i>
278
00:10:40,137 --> 00:10:42,793
<i>and with our entry relocated for easier access,</i>
279
00:10:42,793 --> 00:10:45,103
<i>we'll have the space to craft a sleek kitchenette.</i>
280
00:10:46,448 --> 00:10:48,931
<i>Custom cabinets topped by porcelain counters</i>
281
00:10:48,931 --> 00:10:52,931
<i>and compact appliances, will offer guests a boutique hotel vibe,</i>
282
00:10:52,931 --> 00:10:55,034
<i>as well as independence from the hustle and bustle</i>
283
00:10:55,034 --> 00:10:57,172
<i>of the home's main kitchen.</i>
284
00:10:57,172 --> 00:11:00,206
<i>The space needs sleeping arrangements for family and guests,</i>
285
00:11:00,206 --> 00:11:03,344
<i>so we'll install not one, but two Murphy beds that</i>
286
00:11:03,344 --> 00:11:07,827
<i>can easily fold away when the family wants to relax or entertain.</i>
287
00:11:07,827 --> 00:11:11,275
<i>A swanky living room will offer modern yet cozy furniture,</i>
288
00:11:11,275 --> 00:11:12,689
<i>and a state-of-the-art TV,</i>
289
00:11:12,689 --> 00:11:14,655
<i>will offer five-star amenities</i>
290
00:11:14,655 --> 00:11:16,931
<i>for the family when they wanna catch up on a game</i>
291
00:11:16,931 --> 00:11:18,482
<i>or unwind with a movie.</i>
292
00:11:18,482 --> 00:11:21,517
<i>And finally, we'll celebrate Tadao's family heritage</i>
293
00:11:21,517 --> 00:11:23,586
<i>with a Polynesian-inspired bathroom</i>
294
00:11:23,586 --> 00:11:25,448
<i>that boasts textured tile,</i>
295
00:11:25,448 --> 00:11:29,137
<i>a spa-like shower and a distinctive teakwood vanity.</i>
296
00:11:29,137 --> 00:11:32,482
<i>Perfect for welcoming family for generations to come.</i>
297
00:11:32,482 --> 00:11:34,793
But how long do you think it normally takes?
298
00:11:34,793 --> 00:11:36,655
We could do this in, like, four or five weeks.
299
00:11:36,655 --> 00:11:38,655
- Yeah. Is that feasible or? - I mean, that's good.
300
00:11:38,655 --> 00:11:41,827
I mean, here's the guy overachieving here,
301
00:11:41,827 --> 00:11:43,793
but if we can do it like under five,
302
00:11:43,793 --> 00:11:44,931
closer to four would be great.
303
00:11:44,931 --> 00:11:46,448
I just don't wanna keep the family, too.
304
00:11:46,448 --> 00:11:49,103
Yeah, I mean, it's one thing if it was just Tadao,
305
00:11:49,103 --> 00:11:51,275
and he's also on the road a lot for work.
306
00:11:51,275 --> 00:11:53,310
But we know that he has a whole family here.
307
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:55,448
- So, are you willing to rip it apart? - Yeah.
308
00:11:55,448 --> 00:11:57,482
Listen, we got to pick up a hammer, right?
309
00:11:57,482 --> 00:11:58,689
Would your reaction during
310
00:11:58,689 --> 00:12:02,379
that will be more of like a slick Nick Torres.
311
00:12:02,379 --> 00:12:03,862
If I was gonna go as Nick Torres,
312
00:12:03,862 --> 00:12:06,827
because, you know, this might look more like a crime scene.
313
00:12:06,827 --> 00:12:08,965
I would probably do one of these.
314
00:12:10,034 --> 00:12:11,413
So, you'll play the part. Okay.
315
00:12:11,413 --> 00:12:14,379
You know, look around and then you say,
316
00:12:14,379 --> 00:12:16,068
"We've got no skid marks.
317
00:12:16,068 --> 00:12:18,034
It seems like the hit was intentional."
318
00:12:18,034 --> 00:12:19,206
I concur.
319
00:12:19,206 --> 00:12:22,068
And then you stand up, and then you say,
320
00:12:22,068 --> 00:12:23,551
"All right, let's get to work."
321
00:12:23,551 --> 00:12:24,758
We're gonna be so good.
322
00:12:24,758 --> 00:12:26,034
We're gonna renovate this place
323
00:12:26,034 --> 00:12:27,517
and solve a crime at the same time.
324
00:12:27,517 --> 00:12:29,344
Bam!
325
00:12:29,344 --> 00:12:32,448
Having an opportunity to enhance their home,
326
00:12:32,448 --> 00:12:35,275
that their parents raised them in.
327
00:12:35,275 --> 00:12:37,896
<i>It's absolutely the least I can do.</i>
328
00:12:37,896 --> 00:12:39,689
I'm very proud to be here for that.
329
00:12:53,517 --> 00:12:55,379
It's kind of nice just to see a clean slate
330
00:12:55,379 --> 00:12:56,517
before we rock and roll.
331
00:12:56,517 --> 00:12:58,758
Is it crazy or is it already looking better?
332
00:12:58,758 --> 00:13:00,586
First of all, now I can appreciate
333
00:13:00,586 --> 00:13:02,103
how massive this is.
334
00:13:02,103 --> 00:13:05,000
This was actually a two-car garage at one point.
335
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,068
<i>There's this iconic bucket list</i>
336
00:13:07,068 --> 00:13:08,931
for anyone who watches <i>The Bros.</i>
337
00:13:08,931 --> 00:13:10,275
All right. Go for it.
338
00:13:10,275 --> 00:13:12,793
You wanna get to work in a wall with them, you know?
339
00:13:15,620 --> 00:13:18,103
- Ah! String. - Damn.
340
00:13:18,103 --> 00:13:19,724
<i>You know, I got to say, when it comes to demo,</i>
341
00:13:19,724 --> 00:13:20,931
<i>there's something very rewarding</i>
342
00:13:20,931 --> 00:13:23,379
about just breaking .
343
00:13:23,379 --> 00:13:24,551
I love that stuff.
344
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,586
<i>As natural as Wilmer was with the ambush,</i>
345
00:13:28,586 --> 00:13:30,206
he was just as good with the demo.
346
00:13:31,586 --> 00:13:32,724
And the good news is,
347
00:13:32,724 --> 00:13:35,000
other than a little bit of old termite damage,
348
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,896
this 50-year-old structure is in pretty good shape.
349
00:13:37,896 --> 00:13:40,206
Punch two holes between the studs.
350
00:13:40,206 --> 00:13:42,551
We're gonna end up tying into the plumbing that already exists.
351
00:13:42,551 --> 00:13:44,620
With the paneling down, we can dig into the back wall
352
00:13:44,620 --> 00:13:45,793
<i>where our bathroom will go.</i>
353
00:13:49,758 --> 00:13:51,896
- How high are we going, Drew? - That's more than enough.
354
00:13:51,896 --> 00:13:54,862
If you look on the other side of this, that's the bathroom.
355
00:13:54,862 --> 00:13:56,068
- On the other side. - Oh, I see it.
356
00:13:56,068 --> 00:13:58,103
Tying into the plumbing inside this wall allows us
357
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:01,034
to not only build a one-of-a-kind kitchenette and bathroom,
358
00:14:01,034 --> 00:14:03,344
but we'll tuck in a proper laundry room here, too.
359
00:14:03,344 --> 00:14:04,896
We are gonna need to find
360
00:14:04,896 --> 00:14:07,275
where the plumbing is along here.
361
00:14:07,275 --> 00:14:09,620
It's easy to access and we'll save us time versus
362
00:14:09,620 --> 00:14:12,344
having to run all new plumbing lines from inside the house.
363
00:14:12,344 --> 00:14:14,448
As I'm opening holes into this wall,
364
00:14:14,448 --> 00:14:16,172
I started thinking to myself,
365
00:14:16,172 --> 00:14:18,586
"Treasures, what's the craziest thing
366
00:14:18,586 --> 00:14:20,103
that you've found inside the wall?"
367
00:14:20,103 --> 00:14:21,724
Jonathan came face-to-face
368
00:14:21,724 --> 00:14:23,413
with a ten-foot-long rat snake.
369
00:14:23,413 --> 00:14:24,896
- Oh, yeah. - Alive.
370
00:14:24,896 --> 00:14:27,517
He ripped open some soffit at head level
371
00:14:27,517 --> 00:14:29,172
and it was there staring him in the face.
372
00:14:29,172 --> 00:14:31,482
That is so bizarre.
373
00:14:31,482 --> 00:14:33,689
I still remember the second I saw it,
374
00:14:33,689 --> 00:14:36,172
part of me was like, "This is where it ends."
375
00:14:36,172 --> 00:14:37,344
Right.
376
00:14:42,310 --> 00:14:43,862
<i>It was a dusty and dirty demolition.</i>
377
00:14:45,103 --> 00:14:47,344
Nothing was attached up above.
378
00:14:47,344 --> 00:14:49,896
We just sort of lifted it and it all fell out.
379
00:14:49,896 --> 00:14:51,172
Right. Feeling good?
380
00:14:51,172 --> 00:14:52,655
One last one.
381
00:14:55,689 --> 00:14:58,448
I have one other epic idea for something that has to happen.
382
00:14:58,448 --> 00:15:00,068
I feel like we got off easy.
383
00:15:00,068 --> 00:15:02,379
Let's get some fresh air.
384
00:15:02,379 --> 00:15:04,172
I didn't really have to demo too much.
385
00:15:04,172 --> 00:15:06,862
What better way to finalize demo?
386
00:15:06,862 --> 00:15:10,000
One, two, three.
387
00:15:12,551 --> 00:15:13,758
<i>Now that feels good.</i>
388
00:15:13,758 --> 00:15:16,103
That's a memory I'm gonna carry forever.
389
00:15:16,103 --> 00:15:19,827
To just be able to eventually sit here with the family and enjoy it with them,
390
00:15:19,827 --> 00:15:21,310
is gonna be really awesome.
391
00:15:21,310 --> 00:15:22,827
You've got to do the walk of victory.
392
00:15:22,827 --> 00:15:23,931
Yeah.
393
00:15:25,344 --> 00:15:26,862
<i>Tadao. He means so much to me.</i>
394
00:15:26,862 --> 00:15:28,241
<i>And this is, I hope,</i>
395
00:15:28,241 --> 00:15:31,241
<i>the beginning of a new chapter for the family.</i>
396
00:15:31,241 --> 00:15:33,862
It's absolutely the least I can do.
397
00:15:33,862 --> 00:15:35,482
And I'm just grateful to the brothers.
398
00:15:46,517 --> 00:15:47,689
All right.
399
00:15:47,689 --> 00:15:52,551
So, our doorway is gonna be roughly right here.
400
00:15:52,551 --> 00:15:55,655
In order to get the new layout of the space that we need,
401
00:15:55,655 --> 00:15:57,655
we wanna flip the exterior door to the other side.
402
00:15:57,655 --> 00:15:58,827
There's what?
403
00:15:58,827 --> 00:16:01,275
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven plants.
404
00:16:01,275 --> 00:16:02,413
But they're all small.
405
00:16:02,413 --> 00:16:04,034
I mean, aside from the bigger one right there.
406
00:16:04,034 --> 00:16:05,758
But we don't wanna get rid of any of the plants
407
00:16:05,758 --> 00:16:07,379
because Tadao's father actually planted
408
00:16:07,379 --> 00:16:09,413
every plant in this garden.
409
00:16:09,413 --> 00:16:11,379
There's tons of space in the back of the yard
410
00:16:11,379 --> 00:16:13,000
or even filling out a few of these other areas
411
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,068
where you can see there might have been some dead ones.
412
00:16:15,068 --> 00:16:16,896
We can pop them into pots for now and then figure out
413
00:16:16,896 --> 00:16:18,896
what we're gonna do with them. <i>There are memories there.</i>
414
00:16:18,896 --> 00:16:20,241
<i>We're gonna transplant them so they can</i>
415
00:16:20,241 --> 00:16:21,620
thrive in a different spot of the yard.
416
00:16:21,620 --> 00:16:23,103
The root systems on these are a lot
417
00:16:23,103 --> 00:16:24,379
deeper than I thought they were.
418
00:16:24,379 --> 00:16:26,103
Come on, Drew. What are you, an amateur?
419
00:16:26,103 --> 00:16:27,586
I'm trying to be gentle.
420
00:16:31,241 --> 00:16:32,827
Oh. My gosh.
421
00:16:32,827 --> 00:16:35,137
These things are going down two-and-a-half feet.
422
00:16:35,137 --> 00:16:36,689
This one as well... it goes really deep.
423
00:16:36,689 --> 00:16:38,034
It's not working.
424
00:16:38,034 --> 00:16:40,310
Sometimes you think a job is gonna be very easy.
425
00:16:40,310 --> 00:16:42,896
<i>Tadao's parents moved to LA from Samoa.</i>
426
00:16:42,896 --> 00:16:43,896
<i>They put down roots.</i>
427
00:16:43,896 --> 00:16:45,482
Hey, they put a tiny little plant.
428
00:16:45,482 --> 00:16:47,275
Had a family and have been welcoming
429
00:16:47,275 --> 00:16:49,551
the Samoan community with open arms ever since.
430
00:16:49,551 --> 00:16:51,310
I've got it. I've got it.
431
00:16:51,310 --> 00:16:53,068
<i>And then there's the roots in this garden.</i>
432
00:16:53,068 --> 00:16:54,379
And just like this family...
433
00:16:54,379 --> 00:16:57,137
We ripped out the entire garage in less time
434
00:16:57,137 --> 00:16:59,241
it's taken for us to take these tiny little trees out.
435
00:16:59,241 --> 00:17:01,448
They have no intention of going anywhere.
436
00:17:01,448 --> 00:17:04,275
- One, two, three. - All right.
437
00:17:04,275 --> 00:17:07,517
- There I go. Okay. - Oh, oh, oh.
438
00:17:07,517 --> 00:17:09,931
- Look at that. - One more.
439
00:17:09,931 --> 00:17:12,172
Yeah.
440
00:17:12,172 --> 00:17:13,551
That's what I'm talking about.
441
00:17:16,310 --> 00:17:19,206
Now that relocating these very healthy plants is done,
442
00:17:19,206 --> 00:17:21,620
we can get to cutting in our new exterior door.
443
00:17:22,689 --> 00:17:24,103
<i>The location is perfect.</i>
444
00:17:24,103 --> 00:17:25,896
<i>It's next to the actual front door,</i>
445
00:17:25,896 --> 00:17:27,793
<i>and we'll be pouring the accessible concrete walkway.</i>
446
00:17:27,793 --> 00:17:29,689
And there's gonna be a lot going into this renovation,
447
00:17:29,689 --> 00:17:31,793
but also a lot of emotion.
448
00:17:31,793 --> 00:17:33,448
<i>Tadao told us that his father had</i>
449
00:17:33,448 --> 00:17:35,482
always dreamed of renovating the garage,
450
00:17:35,482 --> 00:17:37,034
exactly like what we're doing.
451
00:17:37,034 --> 00:17:40,137
This space, this entire house, means so much to his family,
452
00:17:40,137 --> 00:17:42,000
<i>and there's no room to getting this wrong.</i>
453
00:17:48,310 --> 00:17:49,689
Oh, oh.
454
00:17:49,689 --> 00:17:51,827
<i>After more than 20 years of friendship and guidance,</i>
455
00:17:51,827 --> 00:17:55,586
<i>Wilmer wants to surprise his former bodyguard and friend, Tadao.</i>
456
00:17:55,586 --> 00:17:56,724
He was my older brother.
457
00:17:56,724 --> 00:17:58,448
<i>He was the guy who looked after me.</i>
458
00:17:58,448 --> 00:18:02,862
<i>And the garage makeover will help him continue his parents' legacy.</i>
459
00:18:02,862 --> 00:18:05,896
This is, I hope, the beginning of a new chapter for the family.
460
00:18:10,172 --> 00:18:12,206
<i>With our first week almost behind us,</i>
461
00:18:12,206 --> 00:18:13,689
<i>it's finally time to say goodbye</i>
462
00:18:13,689 --> 00:18:15,482
<i>to that massive crack on the floor.</i>
463
00:18:15,482 --> 00:18:18,103
<i>We built a rebar cage and then prepped the ground</i>
464
00:18:18,103 --> 00:18:19,517
<i>with some sand over top of the gravel</i>
465
00:18:19,517 --> 00:18:21,448
just to support the concrete slab above.
466
00:18:21,448 --> 00:18:22,689
Yeah, this is an earthquake zone,
467
00:18:22,689 --> 00:18:25,172
so this secures the floor from any shifting underneath,
468
00:18:25,172 --> 00:18:26,344
<i>and on the outside,</i>
469
00:18:26,344 --> 00:18:28,206
<i>we'll not only be flush with the new exterior door,</i>
470
00:18:28,206 --> 00:18:30,000
<i>but provide a wheelchair accessible path</i>
471
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,275
<i>needed for some of Tadao's family.</i>
472
00:18:33,068 --> 00:18:34,965
<i>And since we can't do anything in the garage</i>
473
00:18:34,965 --> 00:18:37,275
<i>until the slab has poured and cured,</i>
474
00:18:37,275 --> 00:18:38,655
<i>do you want me to sort of lead you in,</i>
475
00:18:38,655 --> 00:18:40,310
or do you wanna just dive in with confidence?
476
00:18:40,310 --> 00:18:41,482
- Ah! - And lead me?
477
00:18:41,482 --> 00:18:43,310
I could dive in with confidence,
478
00:18:43,310 --> 00:18:44,931
but I'd be faking it.
479
00:18:44,931 --> 00:18:47,172
Wilmer is back to help me dial in the design
480
00:18:47,172 --> 00:18:49,655
that best speaks to Tadao and his family's style.
481
00:18:49,655 --> 00:18:52,448
Tadao is very proud of his Samoan culture,
482
00:18:52,448 --> 00:18:55,000
and finding a way to see his culture through
483
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,379
the room will be really fun.
484
00:18:56,379 --> 00:18:57,724
<i>We can layer in a lot of</i>
485
00:18:57,724 --> 00:18:59,103
<i>different textures and colors</i>
486
00:18:59,103 --> 00:19:02,000
that will make it feel island, but not kitschy,
487
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,551
like something that just feels warm.
488
00:19:03,551 --> 00:19:04,862
<i>Honestly, the truth is,</i>
489
00:19:04,862 --> 00:19:07,103
anything we do to that space is gonna be like...
490
00:19:07,103 --> 00:19:08,586
A thousand times better. Yeah.
491
00:19:08,586 --> 00:19:09,758
How warm?
492
00:19:09,758 --> 00:19:11,862
How dark would you wanna go on flooring?
493
00:19:11,862 --> 00:19:14,620
As you remember, the room is very dungeony.
494
00:19:14,620 --> 00:19:19,517
So, I am a big fan of dark hardwood floors.
495
00:19:19,517 --> 00:19:21,448
Not... I don't think it's right for the room, right?
496
00:19:21,448 --> 00:19:22,931
This is already so dark, but yeah.
497
00:19:22,931 --> 00:19:24,275
Something lighter.
498
00:19:24,275 --> 00:19:26,586
I would probably go a tiny bit lighter than this,
499
00:19:26,586 --> 00:19:27,793
but not quite that light.
500
00:19:27,793 --> 00:19:29,793
The stuff that I really appreciate is,
501
00:19:29,793 --> 00:19:32,448
is when you walk in and you go, "This is this person."
502
00:19:32,448 --> 00:19:34,758
And the great thing too. This is all luxury vinyl.
503
00:19:34,758 --> 00:19:37,137
So, it's gonna be incredibly durable out there.
504
00:19:37,137 --> 00:19:39,172
It doesn't matter how many people are coming and going.
505
00:19:39,172 --> 00:19:42,586
If I was a dining room, what would I look like?
506
00:19:42,586 --> 00:19:45,896
That is ultimately my motto when I design.
507
00:19:45,896 --> 00:19:48,620
If we think of something kind of mid tone for the flooring,
508
00:19:48,620 --> 00:19:50,275
flow that all the way through,
509
00:19:50,275 --> 00:19:52,413
then I think in the kitchen area,
510
00:19:52,413 --> 00:19:55,206
probably keep it a little lighter as well.
511
00:19:55,206 --> 00:19:57,448
Even with the stone, we're not gonna do real stone.
512
00:19:57,448 --> 00:19:59,206
We're gonna do centered stone.
513
00:19:59,206 --> 00:20:01,241
You're never gonna stain it, you never have to reseal.
514
00:20:01,241 --> 00:20:03,241
- Something like that. - Yeah, that's it.
515
00:20:03,241 --> 00:20:06,793
Well, I'm just gonna say, because of <i>That '70s Show</i>
516
00:20:06,793 --> 00:20:09,275
I knew you were gonna go for the retro one.
517
00:20:09,275 --> 00:20:11,896
This is a retro, it's almost got like if you look in there,
518
00:20:11,896 --> 00:20:13,137
it's got that beautiful...
519
00:20:13,137 --> 00:20:16,206
Oh, it's kind of like a worn in overtime type of vintage.
520
00:20:16,206 --> 00:20:19,896
For me, it's about how am I supposed to feel in this room.
521
00:20:19,896 --> 00:20:23,689
And, you know, this family is so warm and and so inviting.
522
00:20:23,689 --> 00:20:26,862
I also think if you're gonna go with a really deep,
523
00:20:26,862 --> 00:20:29,586
solid color, having a little more personality
524
00:20:29,586 --> 00:20:31,620
on your countertop just makes a little more festive.
525
00:20:31,620 --> 00:20:33,206
It kind of gives you the license
526
00:20:33,206 --> 00:20:35,862
to be very outgoing with our ten other pieces
527
00:20:35,862 --> 00:20:37,241
that... that would have the personality.
528
00:20:37,241 --> 00:20:38,517
<i>All right.</i>
529
00:20:38,517 --> 00:20:40,517
<i>And then what do you think as far as hardware?</i>
530
00:20:40,517 --> 00:20:42,034
I think brass would be super fun.
531
00:20:42,034 --> 00:20:43,413
It's a great pop.
532
00:20:43,413 --> 00:20:45,862
The warmth of this kind of ties with the floors a little bit too.
533
00:20:45,862 --> 00:20:47,206
- It's kind of cool. - Yeah.
534
00:20:47,206 --> 00:20:49,344
And then we'll layer in area rugs.
535
00:20:49,344 --> 00:20:51,862
We'll layer in some textures in here.
536
00:20:51,862 --> 00:20:53,275
What do you think for window coverings?
537
00:20:53,275 --> 00:20:55,793
I liken the theme of keeping it kind of neutral.
538
00:20:55,793 --> 00:20:59,620
Then you can really have fun with the pillows and the some of the artwork.
539
00:20:59,620 --> 00:21:02,586
Ultimately, you're looking at this, right? Right here.
540
00:21:02,586 --> 00:21:04,517
But all of a sudden, it feels like in place.
541
00:21:04,517 --> 00:21:06,344
I mean, it's absolutely beautiful.
542
00:21:06,344 --> 00:21:08,310
I honestly have to say,
543
00:21:08,310 --> 00:21:10,931
you're either the greatest actor of all time
544
00:21:10,931 --> 00:21:13,000
in faking something you've never done.
545
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,137
You know what,
546
00:21:14,137 --> 00:21:16,137
I was 26 years old when I bought this house,
547
00:21:16,137 --> 00:21:21,137
and I decided I'm going to slowly mold this house
548
00:21:21,137 --> 00:21:23,586
into the house that will see my children.
549
00:21:23,586 --> 00:21:26,827
I just really, really got incredibly hooked into
550
00:21:26,827 --> 00:21:28,655
how does this room make me feel?
551
00:21:28,655 --> 00:21:30,896
Yeah. That's exactly what we're trying to do.
552
00:21:30,896 --> 00:21:33,275
Create a feeling. So, he aced it.
553
00:21:33,275 --> 00:21:34,448
No, I'm really happy.
554
00:21:34,448 --> 00:21:36,827
And I can't wait for him and his family to discover
555
00:21:36,827 --> 00:21:39,172
the potential that their home had all along.
556
00:21:39,172 --> 00:21:40,310
They're gonna love it.
557
00:21:40,310 --> 00:21:41,517
- They're gonna love it. - Good job.
558
00:21:51,034 --> 00:21:52,965
<i>With our concrete slab now fully cured,</i>
559
00:21:52,965 --> 00:21:54,413
<i>we can get started framing this</i>
560
00:21:54,413 --> 00:21:57,931
<i>45-year-old garage into a warm, modern living space.</i>
561
00:21:57,931 --> 00:22:00,448
<i>Having an extra bathroom is not just a huge add-on</i>
562
00:22:00,448 --> 00:22:02,655
<i>for a busy household, but it also provides</i>
563
00:22:02,655 --> 00:22:04,206
<i>a hotel-like convenience for guests</i>
564
00:22:04,206 --> 00:22:06,000
who would have had to use the main house facilities
565
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,413
in the middle of the night.
566
00:22:07,413 --> 00:22:09,137
<i>We're also beefing up the framing,</i>
567
00:22:09,137 --> 00:22:10,482
<i>repairing the old termite damage</i>
568
00:22:10,482 --> 00:22:12,034
<i>to ensure structural integrity.</i>
569
00:22:12,034 --> 00:22:14,724
<i>But the biggest piece of the puzzle is spanning</i>
570
00:22:14,724 --> 00:22:17,586
<i>a massive 20-foot header beam to give Tadao and his family</i>
571
00:22:17,586 --> 00:22:20,103
<i>an open ceiling and a fully open concept.</i>
572
00:22:20,103 --> 00:22:22,448
<i>And while our team is working on the ceiling,</i>
573
00:22:22,448 --> 00:22:26,620
we've decided to frame up the new front door for this family's flex space.
574
00:22:26,620 --> 00:22:29,206
We are at eight and a quarter.
575
00:22:29,206 --> 00:22:30,689
Measuring in all directions.
576
00:22:30,689 --> 00:22:31,827
Isn't it so much better
577
00:22:31,827 --> 00:22:34,137
when you're walking up to the house?
578
00:22:34,137 --> 00:22:36,655
So, there's an option to go right into the guest suite.
579
00:22:36,655 --> 00:22:38,586
If this was a rental suite,
580
00:22:38,586 --> 00:22:40,931
I would say put the door over on that side.
581
00:22:40,931 --> 00:22:43,655
But this is actually a livable part of this family space.
582
00:22:43,655 --> 00:22:45,000
So, keep it over on this side.
583
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,862
<i>Now that we have our new front door framed up,</i>
584
00:22:46,862 --> 00:22:49,137
<i>we can close up the old side door for good</i>
585
00:22:49,137 --> 00:22:50,586
<i>and make way for our kitchenette.</i>
586
00:22:50,586 --> 00:22:51,965
<i>This design feature alone</i>
587
00:22:51,965 --> 00:22:53,241
<i>is a turning point in the build.</i>
588
00:22:53,241 --> 00:22:56,000
<i>No longer are we in an unfinished garage.</i>
589
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,482
<i>Now begins the transformation into livable flex space.</i>
590
00:23:00,172 --> 00:23:01,379
Hello, sir.
591
00:23:01,379 --> 00:23:03,413
- Let me in. - No.
592
00:23:03,413 --> 00:23:04,965
Dude, stop grabbing.
593
00:23:04,965 --> 00:23:06,103
I still have access.
594
00:23:06,103 --> 00:23:08,862
I'll be patching that up so nobody can grab me.
595
00:23:08,862 --> 00:23:10,413
What a difference this is gonna make.
596
00:23:10,413 --> 00:23:13,275
I think we should secure it before you actually drop it in and smash it.
597
00:23:13,275 --> 00:23:15,241
I think that's probably a good idea.
598
00:23:15,241 --> 00:23:16,931
Every detail in here has been
599
00:23:16,931 --> 00:23:19,241
<i>thoughtfully planned out to maximize the function</i>
600
00:23:19,241 --> 00:23:21,000
<i>from the electrical layout,</i>
601
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,206
<i>even the placement of our very first windows in this space.</i>
602
00:23:24,206 --> 00:23:26,448
Helping to improve and continue Tadao's parents'
603
00:23:26,448 --> 00:23:28,827
50-year tradition of housing their Samoan family
604
00:23:28,827 --> 00:23:30,862
is something that Wilmer is proud to be a part of.
605
00:23:30,862 --> 00:23:32,103
<i>But we have to keep moving.</i>
606
00:23:32,103 --> 00:23:33,275
<i>The sooner we get this finished,</i>
607
00:23:33,275 --> 00:23:34,793
<i>the sooner the family can come and stay.</i>
608
00:23:44,586 --> 00:23:46,000
<i>We are two weeks into this reno</i>
609
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,310
<i>and Wilmer is not on site today,</i>
610
00:23:47,310 --> 00:23:49,000
<i>which means he's missing out on all the fun</i>
611
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,689
<i>and there is no time to slow down.</i>
612
00:23:50,689 --> 00:23:53,413
Converting Tadao's garage into a functional flex space
613
00:23:53,413 --> 00:23:55,586
is no easy task, inside or out.
614
00:23:55,586 --> 00:23:58,827
One of the most important jobs happens to be outside.
615
00:23:58,827 --> 00:24:00,896
<i>We're patching the stucco where the garage door</i>
616
00:24:00,896 --> 00:24:04,275
<i>and side entrance used to be, working flawlessly on the texture</i>
617
00:24:04,275 --> 00:24:06,931
<i>just to make sure that it looks like a family flex space</i>
618
00:24:06,931 --> 00:24:09,068
<i>that has always been a permanent part of the house.</i>
619
00:24:09,068 --> 00:24:12,000
<i>Inside, the insulation is a critical component.</i>
620
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,379
I think this is great because it gets hot in the summer.
621
00:24:14,379 --> 00:24:16,068
The insulation will keep the heat out.
622
00:24:16,068 --> 00:24:17,241
<i>Another thing is really important</i>
623
00:24:17,241 --> 00:24:19,137
to being that this is a former garage,
624
00:24:19,137 --> 00:24:20,275
it's right by the street,
625
00:24:20,275 --> 00:24:22,103
<i>there's a lot of noise coming off the street.</i>
626
00:24:22,103 --> 00:24:24,793
So, by putting in a better-quality insulation,
627
00:24:24,793 --> 00:24:26,758
it's helping with that sound dampening too.
628
00:24:29,034 --> 00:24:32,000
<i>With the insulation in, we're ready to close up.</i>
629
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,793
<i>So, while the drywall is getting installed,</i>
630
00:24:33,793 --> 00:24:35,965
<i>I'm gonna get a jump start on our bathroom finishes</i>
631
00:24:35,965 --> 00:24:37,586
<i>with a little tile shopping.</i>
632
00:24:37,586 --> 00:24:39,103
<i>I wanna bring a little bit of that</i>
633
00:24:39,103 --> 00:24:41,206
<i>Polynesian style to this bathroom.</i>
634
00:24:41,206 --> 00:24:43,103
I need island inspiration.
635
00:24:43,103 --> 00:24:44,448
<i>And I'm not talking beachy.</i>
636
00:24:44,448 --> 00:24:45,758
<i>I'm not talking nautical.</i>
637
00:24:45,758 --> 00:24:46,965
- Hey, how's it going? - Hey, Drew.
638
00:24:46,965 --> 00:24:48,448
- How are you doing, man? - Good to see you.
639
00:24:48,448 --> 00:24:50,103
There are no seashells lying around.
640
00:24:50,103 --> 00:24:51,758
This is something with the warm tones.
641
00:24:51,758 --> 00:24:52,965
It's an island feel.
642
00:24:52,965 --> 00:24:54,862
I know that you're looking for something bold.
643
00:24:54,862 --> 00:24:57,068
I pulled some options for you.
644
00:24:57,068 --> 00:24:58,241
Let's take a look at them here.
645
00:24:58,241 --> 00:24:59,344
Oh, nice.
646
00:24:59,344 --> 00:25:00,482
You went bold.
647
00:25:00,482 --> 00:25:02,517
We do have some neutral options here, too,
648
00:25:02,517 --> 00:25:04,206
with some textures and things.
649
00:25:04,206 --> 00:25:06,689
Around the shower is where I'm gonna focus for this.
650
00:25:06,689 --> 00:25:08,103
And I'm thinking that
651
00:25:08,103 --> 00:25:09,655
I do like something that is neutral.
652
00:25:09,655 --> 00:25:11,827
So, it's-- it's light, it's white.
653
00:25:11,827 --> 00:25:14,379
However, it has some textures that really pops.
654
00:25:14,379 --> 00:25:15,724
Even though it's white.
655
00:25:15,724 --> 00:25:18,689
You can see the terracotta coming through.
656
00:25:18,689 --> 00:25:20,965
There's a warm undertone, which is really nice.
657
00:25:20,965 --> 00:25:23,724
All of these are a bit too plain.
658
00:25:24,620 --> 00:25:25,724
The detail in these.
659
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:26,965
Do you have another one of these?
660
00:25:26,965 --> 00:25:29,275
I have one more here.
661
00:25:30,517 --> 00:25:33,000
Yeah, I think that would be gorgeous.
662
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,310
- Stack it. - Yeah.
663
00:25:34,310 --> 00:25:36,275
- You know what? - I see it for the shower. Let's do this.
664
00:25:36,275 --> 00:25:38,827
I wanna tie in the floors with something lighter as well.
665
00:25:38,827 --> 00:25:42,000
Yeah, we have a whole wall of floor tiles over here
666
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,206
that we can look at.
667
00:25:43,206 --> 00:25:46,379
Some of these is just a little bit too dark, too bold.
668
00:25:46,379 --> 00:25:48,413
This option is nice here.
669
00:25:48,413 --> 00:25:49,517
So.
670
00:25:51,034 --> 00:25:53,862
This is nice because if you're thinking that island feel
671
00:25:53,862 --> 00:25:57,620
while you're thinking of some of the warm tones and blues,
672
00:25:57,620 --> 00:25:58,689
this has all of that underneath.
673
00:25:58,689 --> 00:25:59,827
Look at the undertone.
674
00:25:59,827 --> 00:26:01,586
You can see some of the grays and blues.
675
00:26:01,586 --> 00:26:03,896
This is a matte tile. So, it's great for floors.
676
00:26:03,896 --> 00:26:06,034
- That could really work with your... - Yep.
677
00:26:06,034 --> 00:26:07,862
See how it looks great together.
678
00:26:07,862 --> 00:26:11,379
Oh, my gosh. Okay, I say this is the floor.
679
00:26:11,379 --> 00:26:13,241
- Absolutely. - This is our shower tile.
680
00:26:13,241 --> 00:26:14,379
Uh-huh.
681
00:26:14,379 --> 00:26:16,517
But I don't wanna do a same brick-lay look
682
00:26:16,517 --> 00:26:18,586
for the other bold color that I'm going for.
683
00:26:18,586 --> 00:26:20,517
We don't want white everywhere in the bathroom.
684
00:26:20,517 --> 00:26:23,241
It's still a very natural, rooted tone, but Wild.
685
00:26:23,241 --> 00:26:24,862
We need something that pops.
686
00:26:24,862 --> 00:26:27,517
This is our desert wildflower blooms.
687
00:26:27,517 --> 00:26:29,448
- It's like artwork. - It's a painted tile.
688
00:26:29,448 --> 00:26:31,413
So, every tile is unique.
689
00:26:31,413 --> 00:26:34,586
If I was thinking of a beach theme or something maybe more nautical,
690
00:26:34,586 --> 00:26:36,586
that feels like what this is.
691
00:26:36,586 --> 00:26:38,206
- This feels island. - Yep.
692
00:26:38,206 --> 00:26:40,931
If you think of the sun on the horizon,
693
00:26:40,931 --> 00:26:42,551
you think of some of those warm tones.
694
00:26:42,551 --> 00:26:44,689
I think for Tadao, this feels like home.
695
00:26:44,689 --> 00:26:47,551
This is a beautiful tile. It's like artwork on the wall.
696
00:26:47,551 --> 00:26:49,689
The artist actually uses watercolor,
697
00:26:49,689 --> 00:26:51,724
<i>creates the design, then they seal it.</i>
698
00:26:51,724 --> 00:26:53,965
And that will be the perfect look for this bathroom.
699
00:26:55,137 --> 00:26:58,103
I think they really work well together.
700
00:26:58,103 --> 00:27:01,793
Yeah, I feel that this is a winning combination.
701
00:27:01,793 --> 00:27:04,724
Forgetting this was a garage means treating it as a part of the main house.
702
00:27:04,724 --> 00:27:06,103
And we're doing that by selecting
703
00:27:06,103 --> 00:27:08,241
<i>unique design features like these tiles.</i>
704
00:27:10,206 --> 00:27:11,931
<i>Every corner of this flex space</i>
705
00:27:11,931 --> 00:27:13,137
<i>is gonna have purpose</i>
706
00:27:13,137 --> 00:27:14,965
and will feel like a boutique hotel escape
707
00:27:14,965 --> 00:27:16,310
for anyone staying here.
708
00:27:23,137 --> 00:27:24,413
<i>With the drywall complete,</i>
709
00:27:24,413 --> 00:27:26,931
<i>we're installing these stunning luxury vinyl floors</i>
710
00:27:26,931 --> 00:27:28,758
<i>in that tone that Willmer selected.</i>
711
00:27:28,758 --> 00:27:31,103
<i>This floor will offer maximum durability</i>
712
00:27:31,103 --> 00:27:32,620
<i>with all kinds of traffic,</i>
713
00:27:32,620 --> 00:27:34,241
<i>but it will also have the warmth and softness</i>
714
00:27:34,241 --> 00:27:35,793
<i>that you'd expect from a hardwood floor.</i>
715
00:27:35,793 --> 00:27:37,344
<i>But we still have a lot to do,</i>
716
00:27:37,344 --> 00:27:38,689
<i>and with only two weeks left,</i>
717
00:27:38,689 --> 00:27:41,206
<i>we can't displace Tadao's family any longer.</i>
718
00:27:41,206 --> 00:27:44,965
<i>So, while the crew primes the walls and preps the shower for tile,</i>
719
00:27:44,965 --> 00:27:48,586
<i>Jonathan and I are painting the new stucco to match the rest of the house.</i>
720
00:27:48,586 --> 00:27:49,793
Hey, where's the other suit?
721
00:27:49,793 --> 00:27:52,068
I found more paper, tape, everything.
722
00:27:52,068 --> 00:27:53,931
- But I don't have the suit. - Oh, my gosh.
723
00:27:53,931 --> 00:27:55,655
You only wanna do the taping job.
724
00:27:55,655 --> 00:27:57,862
Listen, I will tape, I'll paper.
725
00:27:57,862 --> 00:27:59,655
I'll do all the stuff that doesn't do with painting.
726
00:27:59,655 --> 00:28:01,206
You do this. I do that.
727
00:28:01,206 --> 00:28:02,827
If you spray me, you die.
728
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.
729
00:28:06,068 --> 00:28:09,241
As an excuse, to also freshen up things on the outside, too.
730
00:28:09,241 --> 00:28:10,379
Hey, you're spraying me.
731
00:28:10,379 --> 00:28:12,827
Did I? I felt it. I felt the mist.
732
00:28:12,827 --> 00:28:15,206
How did you turn into the big baby of the family?
733
00:28:23,896 --> 00:28:25,413
<i>With only a week- and-a-half left,</i>
734
00:28:25,413 --> 00:28:27,689
<i>the layout of Tadao's new flex suite is looking amazing</i>
735
00:28:27,689 --> 00:28:29,379
<i>and it's ready for the feature accents.</i>
736
00:28:29,379 --> 00:28:31,827
<i>The textured tile Drew chose for the bathroom</i>
737
00:28:31,827 --> 00:28:35,827
<i>is really the perfect combination of unique style and visual pop,</i>
738
00:28:35,827 --> 00:28:39,034
<i>something we wanna achieve in every corner of this space.</i>
739
00:28:39,034 --> 00:28:40,586
<i>And speaking of visual pop,</i>
740
00:28:40,586 --> 00:28:41,931
<i>while our chic kitchen cabinets</i>
741
00:28:41,931 --> 00:28:43,827
<i>are getting installed, Jonathan and I are installing</i>
742
00:28:43,827 --> 00:28:46,620
<i>these gorgeous Polynesian sunset tiles in the shower.</i>
743
00:28:46,620 --> 00:28:48,068
Tile me.
744
00:28:48,068 --> 00:28:50,724
So, now this is a little bolder than what we would typically do.
745
00:28:50,724 --> 00:28:52,413
Lucky for us, this tile was in stock
746
00:28:52,413 --> 00:28:54,517
and it could be delivered in days, not weeks.
747
00:28:54,517 --> 00:28:56,034
Let's hope that our luck continues.
748
00:28:56,034 --> 00:28:58,482
With less than two and a half weeks and a lot left to do.
749
00:28:58,482 --> 00:29:00,482
This is making it a true suite
750
00:29:00,482 --> 00:29:02,482
because there wasn't a bathroom in here before.
751
00:29:02,482 --> 00:29:03,931
It wouldn't have worked for this family
752
00:29:03,931 --> 00:29:05,793
if we just added an extra toilet and a sink.
753
00:29:05,793 --> 00:29:07,275
- Yeah. - This is so much better.
754
00:29:07,275 --> 00:29:09,413
We needed a full bathroom because they need
755
00:29:09,413 --> 00:29:10,827
another full bathroom in this house.
756
00:29:14,275 --> 00:29:16,206
Why am I just sitting here handing things to you?
757
00:29:16,206 --> 00:29:18,103
I don't have to bend over.
758
00:29:18,103 --> 00:29:20,896
- You got this. - Hey, you can do a cut.
759
00:29:20,896 --> 00:29:23,413
Mmm-mmm.
760
00:29:23,413 --> 00:29:27,241
I'm telling you, what you're about to discover is bananas, bro.
761
00:29:27,241 --> 00:29:29,758
I'm super excited. My face may not say it.
762
00:29:29,758 --> 00:29:31,275
Well, your face never says it.
763
00:29:32,413 --> 00:29:34,103
- Tadao. - Wow.
764
00:29:35,896 --> 00:29:38,034
<i>This is crazy.</i>
765
00:29:44,965 --> 00:29:46,379
<i>We have less than a week left</i>
766
00:29:46,379 --> 00:29:48,827
<i>before Tadao comes home, and getting dangerously close</i>
767
00:29:48,827 --> 00:29:51,000
<i>to the end with still a ton to do.</i>
768
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,206
<i>The Murphy beds have arrived and are being installed as we speak,</i>
769
00:29:54,206 --> 00:29:57,586
not just one but two queen beds.
770
00:29:57,586 --> 00:29:59,586
Two Murphy beds. This is what the family needs.
771
00:29:59,586 --> 00:30:01,344
<i>It's a design feature we've never done before,</i>
772
00:30:01,344 --> 00:30:03,482
but it makes so much sense for a bonus space like this.
773
00:30:03,482 --> 00:30:04,655
Two of something.
774
00:30:04,655 --> 00:30:06,310
- It's awesome, right? - Always better than one.
775
00:30:06,310 --> 00:30:07,413
<i>Outside</i>
776
00:30:07,413 --> 00:30:09,310
<i>we not only have a new tankless water heater</i>
777
00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:11,586
<i>being installed, but also a new air conditioning system.</i>
778
00:30:11,586 --> 00:30:14,068
<i>Every single element here has purpose,</i>
779
00:30:14,068 --> 00:30:16,793
<i>from the climate control to just the overall pleasure</i>
780
00:30:16,793 --> 00:30:18,413
<i>of having beautiful finishes</i>
781
00:30:18,413 --> 00:30:20,310
<i>that lends to a better quality of life.</i>
782
00:30:21,931 --> 00:30:23,724
Are we gonna talk about the elephant in the room?
783
00:30:23,724 --> 00:30:24,827
Pop-up TV.
784
00:30:24,827 --> 00:30:26,241
Hey, let me give you a clue.
785
00:30:26,241 --> 00:30:28,551
Not the matching Murphy beds.
786
00:30:28,551 --> 00:30:29,896
Oh, our matching shirts.
787
00:30:29,896 --> 00:30:31,310
How do you have the exact same shirt?
788
00:30:31,310 --> 00:30:32,758
Because you always make fun of my clothes.
789
00:30:32,758 --> 00:30:34,517
On set, you always get my clothes dirty.
790
00:30:34,517 --> 00:30:36,206
So, I thought, why not I just steal your clothes?
791
00:30:36,206 --> 00:30:37,793
Why do you have two of the exact same shirts,
792
00:30:37,793 --> 00:30:39,758
did you copy me or did I copy you?
793
00:30:39,758 --> 00:30:42,344
When you know you like it, you just stick with it.
794
00:30:42,344 --> 00:30:43,551
Speaking of liking it,
795
00:30:43,551 --> 00:30:46,862
anything hidden in secret is amazing.
796
00:30:46,862 --> 00:30:49,344
I feel like we should do the hidden lifts more often
797
00:30:49,344 --> 00:30:51,689
because it's functional,
798
00:30:51,689 --> 00:30:53,517
great for watching TV... tuck it away.
799
00:30:53,517 --> 00:30:55,517
Use the countertop for whatever you want.
800
00:30:55,517 --> 00:30:57,172
I think on top of that, all the added storage
801
00:30:57,172 --> 00:30:58,689
under here as well, it's just great.
802
00:30:58,689 --> 00:31:00,724
Why just have like a regular TV
803
00:31:00,724 --> 00:31:04,000
sitting on a console when you could have it come up out of nowhere?
804
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,379
Should we still do a stencil, like a CNC router in?
805
00:31:07,379 --> 00:31:09,862
I still like the idea of using some of the family's artwork.
806
00:31:09,862 --> 00:31:11,931
One of Tadao's cousins is an artist
807
00:31:11,931 --> 00:31:13,241
and created these stencils.
808
00:31:13,241 --> 00:31:14,862
But we would stretch it out, right?
809
00:31:14,862 --> 00:31:16,620
So that the pattern goes the whole door.
810
00:31:16,620 --> 00:31:18,448
Yeah. And then we'll paint everything white.
811
00:31:18,448 --> 00:31:20,137
It's gonna be absolutely beautiful.
812
00:31:20,137 --> 00:31:21,448
On three, point the one you want.
813
00:31:21,448 --> 00:31:24,068
One, two, three.
814
00:31:24,068 --> 00:31:25,896
Wait. Are you mirroring me already?
815
00:31:25,896 --> 00:31:27,379
We'll send out the cabinet doors
816
00:31:27,379 --> 00:31:29,068
and the pattern to a CNC router,
817
00:31:29,068 --> 00:31:31,103
<i>where the design will be scanned into a computer</i>
818
00:31:31,103 --> 00:31:33,137
<i>and then carved right under the face of the doors.</i>
819
00:31:33,137 --> 00:31:36,482
It's a personalized Polynesian touch that will add beautiful visual interest
820
00:31:36,482 --> 00:31:38,827
and make their island guests feel right at home.
821
00:31:38,827 --> 00:31:41,758
I love doing something like this that is one of a kind.
822
00:31:41,758 --> 00:31:43,551
Literally, no one else in the world
823
00:31:43,551 --> 00:31:45,206
- will have these doors. - All right. All right.
824
00:31:45,206 --> 00:31:48,241
We go with this one, and I'm changing my shirt.
825
00:31:48,241 --> 00:31:49,482
You can't handle it?
826
00:31:56,482 --> 00:31:57,793
<i>There are only four days to go</i>
827
00:31:57,793 --> 00:32:00,206
<i>before we hand back this new family flex space</i>
828
00:32:00,206 --> 00:32:02,310
<i>and the countertops have finally arrived.</i>
829
00:32:02,310 --> 00:32:04,379
This stunning centered stone countertop
830
00:32:04,379 --> 00:32:06,482
is not only durable and stain resistant,
831
00:32:06,482 --> 00:32:08,448
<i>it's the extra sparkle the space needed,</i>
832
00:32:08,448 --> 00:32:11,275
combined with the comforting tone of the gold sink.
833
00:32:11,275 --> 00:32:12,758
I am kind of obsessed with this thing.
834
00:32:12,758 --> 00:32:14,275
It has that effect on people.
835
00:32:15,551 --> 00:32:17,931
All right. Let me pull this over on itself.
836
00:32:17,931 --> 00:32:19,344
We're booking it.
837
00:32:19,344 --> 00:32:21,482
If you're trying to think of a way to warm things up a little bit,
838
00:32:21,482 --> 00:32:23,517
<i>but not necessarily use color to do that,</i>
839
00:32:23,517 --> 00:32:24,689
you can use texture.
840
00:32:24,689 --> 00:32:26,344
And that's what I love about grasscloth.
841
00:32:26,344 --> 00:32:28,931
It adds that gorgeous, casual vibe.
842
00:32:28,931 --> 00:32:31,000
Okay, I have the next piece.
843
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,310
Looking good.
844
00:32:33,310 --> 00:32:35,448
<i>With the counters in and our wallpaper completed,</i>
845
00:32:35,448 --> 00:32:37,206
<i>we are starting to see the finish line</i>
846
00:32:37,206 --> 00:32:40,448
<i>and the transformed space that will greet Tadao when he comes home.</i>
847
00:32:40,448 --> 00:32:41,793
<i>For over 20 years,</i>
848
00:32:41,793 --> 00:32:43,482
Wilmer and Tadaa have been like brothers.
849
00:32:43,482 --> 00:32:45,551
In fact Tadao calls him his brother.
850
00:32:45,551 --> 00:32:48,620
<i>And so, I love the fact that you create this bond</i>
851
00:32:48,620 --> 00:32:50,862
<i>and then you really know when somebody's struggling,</i>
852
00:32:50,862 --> 00:32:53,034
<i>you know, when a family member needs help.</i>
853
00:32:53,034 --> 00:32:55,034
Even though Tadao has been through so much
854
00:32:55,034 --> 00:32:56,655
<i>and he's had so much heartache,</i>
855
00:32:56,655 --> 00:32:59,517
<i>he still gives and gives and gives to everyone around him.</i>
856
00:32:59,517 --> 00:33:01,379
So, he really deserves something like this.
857
00:33:09,965 --> 00:33:11,862
<i>This is looking so good.</i>
858
00:33:11,862 --> 00:33:14,137
It's amazing now that we're putting the final touches.
859
00:33:14,137 --> 00:33:17,413
It's like... it's like coming to life in a different way.
860
00:33:17,413 --> 00:33:21,344
I have to say, the family's artwork, that is pretty amazing.
861
00:33:21,344 --> 00:33:24,068
It's so part of their family, even like the rug that you picked.
862
00:33:24,068 --> 00:33:27,448
It feels very much in tune with the same language.
863
00:33:27,448 --> 00:33:29,413
Yeah. Got some good Samoan style.
864
00:33:29,413 --> 00:33:31,448
They'll push the bed up, and we'll slide to share it.
865
00:33:32,793 --> 00:33:33,896
Wow.
866
00:33:33,896 --> 00:33:35,793
Tadao has a big Samoan family.
867
00:33:35,793 --> 00:33:38,034
This is why everybody kind of comes together.
868
00:33:38,034 --> 00:33:41,241
I'm so excited to see what they're all gonna feel.
869
00:33:41,241 --> 00:33:42,448
They give to everyone around them.
870
00:33:42,448 --> 00:33:44,172
They never expect anything themselves.
871
00:33:44,172 --> 00:33:45,275
That's why they deserve this.
872
00:33:45,275 --> 00:33:46,965
And that's why Wilmer wants to do this for them.
873
00:33:46,965 --> 00:33:48,724
This is what it's all about. And you are family.
874
00:33:48,724 --> 00:33:50,586
So, I mean, you need to be on this wall, too.
875
00:33:50,586 --> 00:33:52,068
By the way, you want a good-looking wall,
876
00:33:52,068 --> 00:33:54,000
you know, we've got to have-- We need that pictures.
877
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,206
Boy, where's my photo? I mean...
878
00:33:56,206 --> 00:33:57,655
I can't imagine how much laughter
879
00:33:57,655 --> 00:33:59,034
is gonna be shared here, too.
880
00:33:59,034 --> 00:34:01,241
<i>This past year has been really tough for Tadao.</i>
881
00:34:01,241 --> 00:34:03,103
Not only did he lose his mom and dad,
882
00:34:03,103 --> 00:34:04,448
<i>but also one of his brothers.</i>
883
00:34:04,448 --> 00:34:07,241
And I honestly think he just needs to know
884
00:34:07,241 --> 00:34:09,275
<i>that someone is there to look out for him.</i>
885
00:34:09,275 --> 00:34:10,827
And that's exactly what Wil is doing.
886
00:34:10,827 --> 00:34:14,103
Having the extra bathroom is gonna be a game changer for them too.
887
00:34:14,103 --> 00:34:15,413
For sure, a 100 percent.
888
00:34:15,413 --> 00:34:16,655
<i>This is really special here.</i>
889
00:34:16,655 --> 00:34:18,482
<i>All these Polynesian touches.</i>
890
00:34:18,482 --> 00:34:20,241
It's awesome. It's really good.
891
00:34:20,241 --> 00:34:21,862
Are you a shower singer kind of guy?
892
00:34:21,862 --> 00:34:24,000
When I was younger and then as I grew older,
893
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,344
I realized I should probably stop listening to myself.
894
00:34:26,344 --> 00:34:29,000
I mean, look, if I go to karaoke, I mean, I'll sell it.
895
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,586
What is the karaoke song?
896
00:34:30,586 --> 00:34:32,517
Dean Martin, <i>Ain't That a Kick in the Head?</i>
897
00:34:32,517 --> 00:34:33,827
I can't quite remember how that one.
898
00:34:33,827 --> 00:34:35,517
- Yeah. Okay. - How does that--
899
00:34:35,517 --> 00:34:38,448
I think today is gonna be more of a tribute to remember it
900
00:34:38,448 --> 00:34:40,137
<i>and to appreciate it, and then also</i>
901
00:34:40,137 --> 00:34:42,965
pave the road for the next generation in this house.
902
00:34:50,551 --> 00:34:51,827
<i>How are you feeling?</i>
903
00:34:51,827 --> 00:34:53,793
What's going on inside Tadao?
904
00:34:53,793 --> 00:34:56,586
I'm super excited. My face may not say it.
905
00:34:56,586 --> 00:34:58,586
Well, your face never says it.
906
00:34:58,586 --> 00:35:01,862
What you're about to discover is bananas, bro.
907
00:35:01,862 --> 00:35:03,137
I'm nervous.
908
00:35:03,137 --> 00:35:05,551
I'm nervous and I have anxiety of sitting in this seat
909
00:35:05,551 --> 00:35:07,655
because you being in the driver's seat.
910
00:35:07,655 --> 00:35:10,206
Once we pull out, the butterflies get started, you know?
911
00:35:10,206 --> 00:35:13,379
Well, the butterflies started a long time ago.
912
00:35:13,379 --> 00:35:15,241
Tadao has been living in a rental
913
00:35:15,241 --> 00:35:16,448
<i>for the last four weeks.</i>
914
00:35:16,448 --> 00:35:17,655
<i>And this is it.</i>
915
00:35:17,655 --> 00:35:19,517
Today is the day where he comes back
916
00:35:19,517 --> 00:35:22,310
and he is not gonna recognize this garage at all.
917
00:35:22,310 --> 00:35:23,379
- Hey. - Hey.
918
00:35:23,379 --> 00:35:24,896
Tip your driver. How are you feeling?
919
00:35:24,896 --> 00:35:26,689
Just good, good, good.
920
00:35:26,689 --> 00:35:28,965
We are already getting smiles out of Tadao.
921
00:35:28,965 --> 00:35:30,172
- Yeah. - Success.
922
00:35:30,172 --> 00:35:32,517
- We did something right. - Where is the garage door at?
923
00:35:32,517 --> 00:35:33,758
This is the main entrance.
924
00:35:36,862 --> 00:35:38,724
<i>For 45 years that we've been here,</i>
925
00:35:38,724 --> 00:35:40,793
all I've seen was a garage door here.
926
00:35:40,793 --> 00:35:42,689
A lot has happened in four weeks
927
00:35:42,689 --> 00:35:46,000
and the hope is that this is gonna make it so much easier
928
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,896
to have your family come and stay
929
00:35:47,896 --> 00:35:49,172
and friends come and visit.
930
00:35:49,172 --> 00:35:50,724
That means a lot. Wil's my brother.
931
00:35:50,724 --> 00:35:52,896
He's my also-- I know everything that he does.
932
00:35:52,896 --> 00:35:55,965
He puts a lot of thought and effort into it.
933
00:35:55,965 --> 00:35:58,000
So, I know there's a lot of TLC
934
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,310
that went behind doing this for me and my family.
935
00:36:01,310 --> 00:36:02,551
Why don't we just head inside?
936
00:36:02,551 --> 00:36:05,241
And I just hope that you can keep up with that feng shui.
937
00:36:05,241 --> 00:36:07,586
You know, it doesn't fall apart a week later.
938
00:36:07,586 --> 00:36:10,034
Tadao has been taking care of Wilmer for so long,
939
00:36:10,034 --> 00:36:11,551
making sure he's okay.
940
00:36:11,551 --> 00:36:13,965
So, it's about time things flip around.
941
00:36:13,965 --> 00:36:16,344
And Tadao.
942
00:36:16,344 --> 00:36:17,482
Wow.
943
00:36:18,551 --> 00:36:20,793
This is crazy.
944
00:36:20,793 --> 00:36:22,034
Phew!
945
00:36:22,034 --> 00:36:23,275
Breathe. Breathe.
946
00:36:23,275 --> 00:36:24,758
<i>This doesn't look like</i>
947
00:36:24,758 --> 00:36:26,310
<i>the garage I grew up in.</i>
948
00:36:35,172 --> 00:36:37,379
And Tadao.
949
00:36:37,379 --> 00:36:39,517
Wow.
950
00:36:39,517 --> 00:36:41,862
This is crazy.
951
00:36:41,862 --> 00:36:45,206
This place is amazing.
952
00:36:55,310 --> 00:36:56,482
Phew!
953
00:36:56,482 --> 00:36:58,724
- Breathe. Breathe. - Yeah.
954
00:36:58,724 --> 00:36:59,931
I'm blown away right now.
955
00:36:59,931 --> 00:37:02,931
Like, this doesn't look like the garage I grew up in.
956
00:37:02,931 --> 00:37:04,068
<i>Amazing.</i>
957
00:37:04,068 --> 00:37:08,482
Like, completely 180 change from what it used to be.
958
00:37:08,482 --> 00:37:11,931
<i>It feels like a very homey, welcoming space.</i>
959
00:37:11,931 --> 00:37:14,068
I'm fighting back my tears.
960
00:37:14,068 --> 00:37:16,413
I'm about to call this room, "The Blessing,"
961
00:37:16,413 --> 00:37:17,620
because that's what I feel like.
962
00:37:17,620 --> 00:37:19,551
I feel blessed to be in here.
963
00:37:19,551 --> 00:37:21,724
So, what's the Samoan word for what you would call this space?
964
00:37:21,724 --> 00:37:22,896
<i>Fa'amanuiaga.</i>
965
00:37:22,896 --> 00:37:24,206
Does that mean, "Handsome Brothers".
966
00:37:24,206 --> 00:37:26,000
Two fa'amanuiaga means "two handsome brothers."
967
00:37:28,620 --> 00:37:30,310
<i>Let's show a little bit of what we have.</i>
968
00:37:30,310 --> 00:37:31,620
This is wild.
969
00:37:31,620 --> 00:37:34,655
So, this is actually a hidden bed.
970
00:37:34,655 --> 00:37:36,068
- It's a murphy bed. - Oh, wow.
971
00:37:36,068 --> 00:37:37,862
So, look at this.
972
00:37:37,862 --> 00:37:39,896
Wow. That's crazy.
973
00:37:39,896 --> 00:37:41,413
Not only that,
974
00:37:41,413 --> 00:37:42,931
you have a matching one on the other side.
975
00:37:42,931 --> 00:37:45,068
- <i>You have two.</i> - <i>So there's two of them.</i>
976
00:37:45,068 --> 00:37:47,965
I could actually just come and take a nap in here.
977
00:37:47,965 --> 00:37:49,517
Yeah, well, you had the doghouse.
978
00:37:49,517 --> 00:37:50,689
Yeah.
979
00:37:50,689 --> 00:37:52,413
You're gonna get into trouble more often on purpose.
980
00:37:52,413 --> 00:37:53,793
Oh, purposely.
981
00:37:53,793 --> 00:37:55,758
I'll open this one as well, just so you can see the two beds
982
00:37:55,758 --> 00:37:56,931
down at the same time.
983
00:37:56,931 --> 00:37:58,793
If you pull that forward, sometimes you might just use
984
00:37:58,793 --> 00:38:00,206
it as a lounging space.
985
00:38:00,206 --> 00:38:01,655
But when you need it.
986
00:38:01,655 --> 00:38:02,862
- Look at that. - Yeah.
987
00:38:02,862 --> 00:38:04,172
<i>Twin beds.</i>
988
00:38:04,172 --> 00:38:07,275
It's gonna take me a few days, maybe a few weeks,
989
00:38:07,275 --> 00:38:09,965
to see everything that's in there.
990
00:38:09,965 --> 00:38:12,275
<i>Do you feel like maybe watching a little bit of TV?</i>
991
00:38:12,275 --> 00:38:14,517
- <i>Wow.</i> - <i>How cool is that?</i>
992
00:38:14,517 --> 00:38:16,793
Whatever family members that come and visit,
993
00:38:16,793 --> 00:38:18,896
they're gonna feel like they're not in Carson.
994
00:38:18,896 --> 00:38:21,517
As soon as we started putting the final touches here,
995
00:38:21,517 --> 00:38:22,689
immediately I was like,
996
00:38:22,689 --> 00:38:24,551
"We're definitely somewhere else in the planet."
997
00:38:24,551 --> 00:38:26,689
Yeah, man. Thank you, guys.
998
00:38:26,689 --> 00:38:28,517
This is beyond my dreams out here.
999
00:38:28,517 --> 00:38:29,793
<i>Beyond.</i>
1000
00:38:29,793 --> 00:38:31,551
The poetry of that room is incredible...
1001
00:38:31,551 --> 00:38:34,517
<i>to turn a space from that dark garage</i>
1002
00:38:34,517 --> 00:38:35,965
<i>into something that's forever.</i>
1003
00:38:35,965 --> 00:38:37,724
It's unbelievable what you can do.
1004
00:38:37,724 --> 00:38:39,793
This couch is gonna last for forever.
1005
00:38:39,793 --> 00:38:41,413
Everybody can have a game night here.
1006
00:38:41,413 --> 00:38:42,551
<i>It's great.</i>
1007
00:38:42,551 --> 00:38:45,275
Right now, I wanna just pick up my jaw right now.
1008
00:38:46,517 --> 00:38:48,862
This is gonna be like almost the main feature of the house.
1009
00:38:48,862 --> 00:38:51,137
- The new house fun. - Yeah, the new house. Yeah.
1010
00:38:51,137 --> 00:38:54,000
Now I can invite Wilmer to come to Carson.
1011
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,620
Hey, Wil.
1012
00:38:55,620 --> 00:38:56,862
Game night.
1013
00:38:56,862 --> 00:38:58,827
<i>Do you recognize what we did on the doors here?</i>
1014
00:38:58,827 --> 00:39:01,000
<i>Yeah.</i> This is amazing, right?
1015
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,000
We had the shop custom make those.
1016
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,586
And my cousin prints Polynesian designs on.
1017
00:39:05,586 --> 00:39:07,517
We call them...
1018
00:39:07,517 --> 00:39:09,793
<i>This is like a print that he puts on.</i>
1019
00:39:09,793 --> 00:39:12,551
Now he knows that he has a little memory permanently
1020
00:39:12,551 --> 00:39:13,758
etched into the house, too.
1021
00:39:13,758 --> 00:39:15,206
<i>I'm in heaven in here.</i>
1022
00:39:15,206 --> 00:39:17,724
This is a game changer for everybody.
1023
00:39:17,724 --> 00:39:19,206
Mmm-hmm.
1024
00:39:19,206 --> 00:39:22,862
I'm happy because we can't even imagine
1025
00:39:22,862 --> 00:39:24,275
what a family goes through to struggle
1026
00:39:24,275 --> 00:39:25,620
to actually be there for each other.
1027
00:39:25,620 --> 00:39:27,689
And to have a space like this.
1028
00:39:29,103 --> 00:39:30,379
Thanks, bro.
1029
00:39:30,379 --> 00:39:33,034
<i>It's everything to me to make my family</i>
1030
00:39:33,034 --> 00:39:34,793
<i>and my friends happy,</i>
1031
00:39:34,793 --> 00:39:38,000
being able to show up for them like they've shown up for me.
1032
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,413
<i>We wanted to make sure it had</i>
1033
00:39:39,413 --> 00:39:41,206
<i>a little bit of everything that you need in here.</i>
1034
00:39:41,206 --> 00:39:43,793
These are forever moments, and we'll never forget this.
1035
00:39:43,793 --> 00:39:45,724
<i>Seeing a lot of family photos in here</i>
1036
00:39:45,724 --> 00:39:48,000
<i>that are really amazing and awesome.</i>
1037
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:49,724
<i>Thank you guys for that.</i>
1038
00:39:49,724 --> 00:39:51,758
Right there, behind door number one.
1039
00:39:51,758 --> 00:39:52,965
Okay.
1040
00:39:54,551 --> 00:39:59,241
Wow, this is freaking amazing, bro.
1041
00:39:59,241 --> 00:40:01,689
<i>Yeah, bro, this is gonna serve us a lot.</i>
1042
00:40:01,689 --> 00:40:04,034
Sometimes it's hard to kind of point out
1043
00:40:04,034 --> 00:40:06,620
what's making you feel this kind of cozy feeling,
1044
00:40:06,620 --> 00:40:10,034
but you'd notice that the wall is actually not just a super wall,
1045
00:40:10,034 --> 00:40:12,413
- it's a grasscloth wallpaper... - Yeah.
1046
00:40:12,413 --> 00:40:14,206
<i>...which kind of warms it up.</i>
1047
00:40:14,206 --> 00:40:16,000
You wouldn't expect it, but you just feel it.
1048
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,758
- And you will feel it. - Yeah.
1049
00:40:17,758 --> 00:40:20,758
<i>It's all the little elements to the light fixtures,</i>
1050
00:40:20,758 --> 00:40:22,172
<i>the height, we captured some height</i>
1051
00:40:22,172 --> 00:40:23,758
<i>and also we added all the recessed lights</i>
1052
00:40:23,758 --> 00:40:26,344
as well so that you have that bright feel in here.
1053
00:40:26,344 --> 00:40:28,344
It's all about having a stylish space,
1054
00:40:28,344 --> 00:40:30,689
a bright space, but also functional space.
1055
00:40:30,689 --> 00:40:32,034
Laundry is part of that.
1056
00:40:32,034 --> 00:40:33,551
An oasis bathroom is the other part.
1057
00:40:35,689 --> 00:40:37,275
Wow.
1058
00:40:37,275 --> 00:40:38,896
It's a dugout fancy.
1059
00:40:38,896 --> 00:40:40,827
- Oh. Oh. - Wow.
1060
00:40:40,827 --> 00:40:42,724
This is crazy.
1061
00:40:42,724 --> 00:40:44,000
Wow. The shower.
1062
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,448
<i>You needed a full bathroom</i>
1063
00:40:45,448 --> 00:40:48,000
with a shower and something that's a little bit more spacious,
1064
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,344
so you don't feel cramped in there.
1065
00:40:49,344 --> 00:40:51,103
What do you think of that artisanal tile?
1066
00:40:51,103 --> 00:40:52,586
It screams Polynesia.
1067
00:40:52,586 --> 00:40:55,000
<i>Maybe it looks like a certain time of day.</i>
1068
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,862
Yeah. Like the morning sunrise.
1069
00:40:56,862 --> 00:40:58,862
Boom. That's what we were going for.
1070
00:40:58,862 --> 00:41:01,068
Yeah, that's exactly what that looks like.
1071
00:41:01,068 --> 00:41:03,275
The brass finishes... it just elevates it.
1072
00:41:03,275 --> 00:41:04,827
I'd definitely pay to stay here.
1073
00:41:04,827 --> 00:41:07,137
We'll let you be the first to be in it.
1074
00:41:07,137 --> 00:41:08,758
All right, Tadao. We'll give you a minute.
1075
00:41:10,517 --> 00:41:13,517
Knowing that this is a space that Tadao's dad
1076
00:41:13,517 --> 00:41:15,655
always wanted to do something like this in.
1077
00:41:15,655 --> 00:41:17,586
I think that's probably what's hitting him the most
1078
00:41:17,586 --> 00:41:19,586
because he finally made it happen.
1079
00:41:19,586 --> 00:41:21,931
I mean, I think it's gonna make it even more exciting
1080
00:41:21,931 --> 00:41:24,482
to actually maybe have your family come and join you
1081
00:41:24,482 --> 00:41:26,586
- while you're in here. - Oh, wow.
1082
00:41:26,586 --> 00:41:29,172
I think he knows that his parents would be so proud.
1083
00:41:29,172 --> 00:41:31,482
His whole family will be so excited to come
1084
00:41:31,482 --> 00:41:33,275
and share this space together.
1085
00:41:33,275 --> 00:41:34,482
What do you think?
1086
00:41:38,827 --> 00:41:41,068
- Crazy, huh? - Yes.
1087
00:41:41,068 --> 00:41:42,448
Crazy it is.
1088
00:41:42,448 --> 00:41:44,103
Oh, my gosh.
1089
00:41:44,103 --> 00:41:46,724
This is something that my father-in-law wanted.
1090
00:41:46,724 --> 00:41:48,448
He wanted to do for them.
1091
00:41:49,689 --> 00:41:50,896
Like shaking.
1092
00:41:52,965 --> 00:41:56,586
It's okay.
1093
00:41:59,482 --> 00:42:00,862
<i>I'm very blessed to have someone</i>
1094
00:42:00,862 --> 00:42:03,344
who's looked after me and whose integrity
1095
00:42:03,344 --> 00:42:05,862
and values is the same as, you know, my family.
1096
00:42:05,862 --> 00:42:07,862
They may come from South America and I come from...
1097
00:42:07,862 --> 00:42:10,000
my family comes from the South Pacific,
1098
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,689
but both cultures is based around family.
1099
00:42:12,689 --> 00:42:14,586
<i>I think for so many of our cultures,</i>
1100
00:42:14,586 --> 00:42:18,206
getting that first home, you know, is the biggest gift.
1101
00:42:18,206 --> 00:42:19,620
It is the American dream.
1102
00:42:19,620 --> 00:42:23,068
You start to really realizing how many lives that home can touch.
1103
00:42:23,068 --> 00:42:26,724
And the Salima family is a testament of that.
1104
00:42:26,724 --> 00:42:28,448
You're welcome, bro.
1105
00:42:28,448 --> 00:42:30,068
Thanks, bro.
1106
00:42:30,068 --> 00:42:31,689
Wow.
1107
00:42:31,689 --> 00:42:34,034
Come on in. Come on in.
1108
00:42:34,034 --> 00:42:35,310
Join the fam.
1109
00:42:35,310 --> 00:42:38,724
Before we go on, you guys, we have some gifts for you guys
1110
00:42:38,724 --> 00:42:42,241
as a thank you from our family to you guys.
1111
00:42:42,241 --> 00:42:43,655
Thank you.
1112
00:42:43,655 --> 00:42:45,413
These are called...
1113
00:42:45,413 --> 00:42:47,000
Yep.
1114
00:42:49,758 --> 00:42:50,931
Thank you, bro.
1115
00:42:53,827 --> 00:42:55,241
We love you.
1116
00:42:55,241 --> 00:42:57,862
Wherever life takes us, we'll find our way to be there together.
1117
00:42:57,862 --> 00:42:59,482
- We love you, brother. Yeah. - Love you, too.
1118
00:42:59,482 --> 00:43:01,068
There you go.
1118
00:43:02,305 --> 00:44:02,744
