00:27

00:31

you guys have seen in episode one we did

00:34

all of the design work I worked through

00:35

the must haves that we wanted for it the

00:38

renovation if we were going to tackle it

00:40

and then we started the demo and

00:42

structural phases the guys in my

00:45

contractor have been amazing they are

00:47

working incredibly fast on a very tight

00:50

timeline before this baby comes so they

00:52

have made huge progress we added the

00:55

skylights which was a huge musthave that

00:57

I wanted for this space to really invite

01:00

all the natural light in tackled all of

01:02

the plumbing all the electrical they've

01:05

put the insulation in the walls in the

01:07

ceiling and done drywall we're getting

01:10

to the pretty phase officially so we've

01:13

had a little bit of downtime with the

01:15

guys and trades been coming in and out

01:17

working on projects here and there while

01:19

we wait for Cabinetry and custom items

01:22

so this week is going to be an exciting

01:25

week because I am finally going to be

01:27

doing a DIY I'm going to take it slow

01:30

and safe but I'm itching through this

01:34

process watching them use crowbars and

01:37

to me get to do all the fun stuff and I

01:39

have to take it easy has been hard it's

01:42

okay it's been super exciting to see

01:44

this process move so quickly but I

01:46

really want to dive into a DIY project

01:49

this week and that is restoring our old

01:52

windows our windows are older but when

01:54

we moved in they had painted the

01:56

majority of the Windows shut and and

02:00

that I haven't ever seen in a house that

02:04

you buy I've only seen that done in like

02:06

apartment buildings uh where they just

02:09

like you know paint over walls and

02:12

things every time a tenant moves out

02:14

I've rarely seen that in a house and it

02:17

has been something that's bothered me

02:19

throughout the house but specifically in

02:21

the kitchen where I'd love to open these

02:23

windows and let some fresh air in or if

02:25

you're cooking in here and you know

02:26

maybe it's like gotten a little bit

02:28

Smoky you know you can open your windows

02:31

so we've always resorted to opening the

02:33

doors instead when we've been cooking a

02:35

lot so when I was designing the new

02:38

kitchen floor plan and layout I really

02:39

took into consideration where our

02:42

existing windows and doors were to

02:45

figure out how I could incorporate them

02:47

into the design which ones we could keep

02:49

and which ones kind of had to go so in

02:52

the design I was able to keep one of the

02:55

windows that were in our kitchen there

02:56

were two one here one here we had to

02:59

close one up cuz you got to put your

03:01

your cabinet somewhere uh so I opted to

03:04

close this one because this side of the

03:06

house doesn't get any sunlight it has

03:10

nothing happening for it it's basically

03:11

just a walk through to the side of our

03:14

house so it wasn't going to lose too

03:16

much so I opted to get rid of this one

03:19

we kept the door going out to the patio

03:22

in the front um so that was perfect I

03:25

mean we needed a a door here anyways and

03:27

also we kept the Box windows over the

03:30

sink used to have a door here going out

03:34

to the pool so we were we closed that up

03:37

so that we could introduce two double

03:40

French doors into the space where the

03:42

windows

03:44

were hi Hi how are you I'm good how are

03:47

you okay nice to meet you nice to meet

03:51

you so that's the idea so not the lights

03:54

on the side but double of these and then

03:57

you want the panel on the bottom yes

03:59

instead of having the four looking like

04:01

a four line I would just want to match

04:04

like this just so that it looks good

04:06

with the house just the two okay the

04:08

same kind of panel but not this tall you

04:11

know I want them real low to the ground

04:13

I want as many windows as possible as

04:15

many lights as possible that's the open

04:17

you have you're going to have seven 7

04:19

and A2 opening yeah I need 80 almost 80

04:24

yeah I want skinny French doors well so

04:27

the two will open in this way two will

04:29

open in that way so four doors toward so

04:32

so no side light four panels okay so you

04:35

want two units then four two units four

04:37

panels you can do your own your own

04:38

structure mightly Above This yep I love

04:41

it flash so indoor outdoor yes so you

04:43

have a small little transition but not

04:45

cuz if you see it on top of here then

04:47

you're going to have then it'll be we

04:49

like the idea we like the idea this is

04:51

your finished War you're not adding yeah

04:54

so I think you should just come down

04:55

here yes and maybe you can just add

04:57

another when you do your your your pan

04:59

and your

05:00

weather poofing it'll bring it up about

05:01

an 84 80 your doors are going to be 7 5

05:05

and A4 so 5 and half so kind of the same

05:07

yeah yeah so it'll look it'll look good

05:10

yeah so you you have 78 in St just like

05:12

this one over here yes so I'm thinking

05:14

we're probably going to go with this one

05:16

I love that window that's what I was

05:17

going to tell you like I love that and

05:18

then go with the 4 in

05:20

here and then yeah basically this is the

05:24

the same height 24 in down I'll do the P

05:27

the my rail and my panel and from there

05:30

up it'll be glass so it'll kind of mimic

05:32

that window almost that would be

05:33

beautiful and you can do that same kind

05:35

of profile yeah yeah we can which door

05:39

do you want to open you want these this

05:42

one and this one to open or you want

05:43

this one and this one or you want this

05:44

one and this one first you

05:52

mean the right one on both of

05:56

them the right one and the left one so

05:59

you want the far

06:00

okay what what is what is the real I

06:02

mean what is the St they're

06:04

custom I mean cuz this if you open this

06:07

one it's going to open into this one if

06:08

you open the sides yeah so these exactly

06:11

so I can open the sides and keep the

06:13

centers Clos correct yeah

06:15

[Music]

06:21

M so I figured since we're doing the

06:24

renovation we can go ahead and restore

06:27

the

06:28

windows to open they will be painted

06:32

white still because they will match the

06:34

rest of the house but we can polish them

06:37

up make them look better get them

06:39

functional polish up all the

06:42

hardware and the hinges does this one

06:45

even have hinges on it these definitely

06:49

have hinges on them so these definitely

06:51

open at one point there's three Windows

06:55

here but just the two outside ones open

06:58

so the first step is to stick them so

07:01

I've got to cut through the paint once

07:03

we get them out I think the restoration

07:05

process is going to go fairly simple

07:07

since we are just painting them I just

07:08

want to make them look really good and I

07:10

did restore 42 windows in the cottage

07:15

already so I've had a little bit of

07:17

practice restoring old windows and I

07:20

think that these are going to be on the

07:21

easier side so let's get started my

07:23

first thought was to either use just

07:25

like a box cutter like an xacto Like a

07:27

Knife you know to cut through the paint

07:30

but I also have this one has like little

07:32

teeth on it like that and it's super

07:34

flat this thing comes in so handy and

07:38

I'm thinking that this is going to save

07:40

my arms a lot I don't want to damage the

07:42

the windows that's what I don't want to

07:48

do I feel like it'll

07:51

work okay now that it that's going to

07:53

work I'm going to be overly protected

07:55

because of the baby I'm going to put on

07:57

a big mask just so that I don't breathe

07:59

in anything I got one of these big

08:01

respirator masks because feel like it's

08:05

better it's going to protect me

08:08

[Music]

08:22

all are you enjoying doing that cuz you

08:24

haven't done that in a while cuz he

08:26

knows he knows it's like my

08:31

[Music]

08:52

[Applause]

08:54

[Music]

08:57

therapy I got it all cut but it's just

08:59

budging just a little bit it's not

09:01

really giving into opening I I want to

09:04

be careful you know so I'm not trying to

09:06

like do anything crazy

09:10

[Music]

09:31

oh she's

09:34

open much better ooh we got a lot a lot

09:38

of work to do I think this kitchen used

09:40

to be yellow or like a beigy yellow like

09:43

the Cabinetry was ooh I don't like that

09:47

they nailed her shut they had every

09:50

intention on painting it and closing it

09:55

up I see a nail how sad

09:59

that's sad okay so Romeo and I were just

10:02

talking about it these over the sink

10:06

I've always wanted to open that's so

10:08

nice like to have a breeze there started

10:10

talking about these windows they don't

10:12

have any hinges which I didn't know

10:14

before so they don't naturally open

10:17

already I'm wondering if we go ahead and

10:20

convert them to have hinges and open and

10:23

stuff I feel like there's there's going

10:25

to be some pieces May missing like I'll

10:28

have to put a piece so that they close

10:30

together you know and they and they lock

10:32

really well or we were talking about it

10:35

cuz is it weird that you also have a

10:37

door

10:39

here and that would open is that weird

10:44

work on these first and then

10:46

determine that one after

10:53

[Music]

11:11

[Music]

11:39

[Music]

12:08

I'm going to be using this Citrus strip

12:10

stripping gel to remove the paint from

12:12

the windows I've had a lot of good

12:15

success with this one and this

12:16

particular stripper doesn't have any

12:18

harsh fumes so it's safer to use

12:21

especially if you're doing projects

12:22

indoors and I'm just going to use a

12:24

brush to paint all the stripper on and

12:26

then over the top of the stripper I'm

12:28

going to put some PL itic wrap so it

12:30

stays active as long as possible so it

12:32

really gets through multiple layers of

12:34

paint

12:50

[Music]

12:55

[Music]

13:06

[Music]

13:13

[Music]

13:38

so the stripper's been on here for a

13:39

couple of hours now and I've already

13:41

tested a little patch to see if it was

13:43

kind of coming out up and it it is I'm

13:46

going to use a scraper and maybe

13:48

possibly a wire brush if I need it like

13:50

in the corners and things uh to get off

13:52

all this paint we're just going to start

13:54

new we're just going to start new with

13:57

new paint all the way down to the wood

13:59

14:02

you built this

15:29

gorgeous they look nice actually they

15:32

look beautiful I mean it looks just like

15:33

that window that we kind of took the

15:36

inspiration from

15:40

yeah gorgeous so this is what it's going

15:43

to look like from the inside cuz they're

15:44

going to open yeah I'm standing on the

15:46

outside of you're on the inside so when

15:48

you walk out to the pool like this is

15:50

what it's going to

15:52

be literally stunning and that's what we

15:55

make it out of that lumber over there

15:57

how how we get it and then we it up

16:01

yeah that is

16:07

incredible oh that looks

16:10

awesome

16:14

[Music]

16:16

wow it's

16:18

incredible is it not it's nice

16:22

[Music]

16:34

the next day after stripping this off so

16:36

it's dry now it's not like gooey anymore

16:40

I know that you can use like mineral

16:43

spirits you know like something like

16:45

that to like get the rest of the goo off

16:46

but I didn't want to use that so I just

16:49

let it dry now this is what it's gotten

16:51

this to which has gotten the majority of

16:53

the paint off which now we can sand and

16:57

it's not a lot of work you know now

16:59

we're just like perfecting it not bad

17:00

the windows were definitely easier than

17:03

the actual box because I feel like that

17:05

has been painted so many times that

17:08

there was just layers and layers and

17:10

layers but it was so cracked all the way

17:13

down to the wooden places that I had to

17:15

get it all off you know like you you

17:17

sometimes just have to start over with a

17:18

new slate you know otherwise it would be

17:21

uneven and not perfect we're on the

17:23

right track so I'm going to sand it down

17:25

stepping up from 60 grit so I'm going to

17:28

start with 60 and then I'm going to go

17:29

up to probably like 100 120 and then up

17:33

to something finer like a 220 and it

17:36

gives us a really nice smooth surface

17:40

without having any of the circles left

17:42

over in the sanding if you've ever done

17:43

that

17:45

[Music]

18:38

oh oh my gosh you guys I'm surprised

18:42

this thing isn't like permanently

18:45

attached to my face at this

18:47

point I have worn this whether things

18:50

are stinky or not it really didn't

18:53

matter when I set out to restore just

18:56

this box window it's essentially three

19:00

windows and I was like oh this is going

19:02

to be a breeze oh my gosh days days it's

19:06

been this is day five of working on this

19:09

project like pretty much in the

19:11

afternoons started as just kind of I

19:13

thought a simple restoration project

19:16

turned into replacing

19:19

glass I have holes in here learn from

19:23

our mistakes now twice because you

19:26

really do not want to get close to glass

19:28

glass with

19:30

sandpaper now I say that and it's like

19:32

an obvious thing but you really don't

19:36

because it scratches the glass and it

19:38

looks bad so there were a couple of

19:41

panes in two of the windows that just

19:43

had scratched glass and I just it just

19:45

wasn't perfect at Lowe's you can get

19:48

them to cut e in glass or the plastic

19:51

sheeting stuff if you need like that for

19:53

any reason you can get them to cut the

19:55

e/ in glass exactly to size and so all

19:59

the pains that I needed cost me

20:01

$20 it's not a hard fix it's just timec

20:05

consuming and we have as we were

20:07

restoring these windows we had the

20:09

glazing was cracking all the glazing has

20:11

to be replaced literally I took these

20:13

windows down to

20:16

the wood there's some paint still kind

20:19

of left into the profile of the wood on

20:21

the front and that's just because it's I

20:24

didn't want to damage the profile this

20:26

is very smooth this is paint righted

20:29

instead of going back in with another

20:30

layer of stripper which I would have

20:31

done if we were taking the paint off and

20:33

like staining these which the wood is so

20:36

pretty it's like man should I it's

20:39

almost it's almost hurting my heart to

20:41

paint it but it won't match any of the

20:44

other windows in the house

20:47

and there's going to be so much wood

20:50

detailing like stained wood in the

20:52

kitchen already that these really need

20:53

to stay the way that they were the goal

20:55

since we were just painting it anyways

20:57

was to get it really smooth Smo and get

20:59

it down as much as we could and remove

21:01

any chipped paint things like that so

21:03

this is like very very smooth and I've

21:06

been replacing the glass and we're going

21:07

to replace the glazing and then they're

21:10

going to be ready to be painted I also

21:12

stripped all of the hardware and in

21:14

painting it with this metallic gold pure

21:16

gold color that I got uh it's the

21:20

closest that I can get to Brass you know

21:22

to a really good color that I actually

21:25

like that's not like super gold and

21:26

bright

21:30

[Music]

21:35

and I have been using all of the

21:37

previous push points for these windows

21:40

too I was able to get them all out

21:44

[Music]

22:17

to create a really tight seal and a

22:19

clean finish on the outside of the

22:21

windows we're going to be using window

22:22

glazing this is white in color so you

22:24

don't have to paint it if your windows

22:26

are white but we are going to be

22:27

painting these windows anyway so we're

22:28

going to wait the 3 days and the guys

22:31

will paint all the windows so you just

22:33

want to start with a clean slate and I

22:34

always like my glazing or cocking or any

22:37

project that I do to have really clean

22:38

straight lines so I always use some

22:40

painters tape as well and I'm going to

22:42

put the painters tape exactly where I

22:44

want the glazing to stop

22:48

[Music]

24:21

[Applause]

24:22

[Music]

24:48

Happ

24:52

[Music]

25:13

there you go

25:16

[Music]

25:37

how beautiful are these stores they're

25:39

exactly what I wanted in terms of like

25:42

the elongated lights that's another name

25:45

that's what they call like the glass

25:48

panes um these are all called lights and

25:51

I wanted them to be elongated like that

25:53

one window all of the windows in our

25:55

house are a little bit different to

25:57

accommodate the space that they're in

25:59

but that one was like the prettiest to

26:01

me so when we were designing it I wanted

26:04

it to be that 13 in tall so tall and

26:07

skinny and then we put the panel on the

26:09

bottom so that it matched the rest of

26:11

the doors in the house and you know made

26:13

the house feel really cohesive they've

26:15

already started to Prime the doors too

26:17

just to protect them while we're getting

26:19

to the painting stage and now the view

26:21

of the pool from the kitchen that indoor

26:24

outdoor feeling that I really wanted for

26:26

this space is coming to life I could I

26:29

could not be happier it's truly stunning

26:33

I have a little bit more perfecting work

26:35

to do on these windows but we've made

26:38

major progress they open they're glazed

26:41

they have new glass you know me I'm just

26:44

like a perfectionist when it comes to

26:46

those details and I just think that I

26:48

can spend a little more time on them to

26:49

make them like that much better but I

26:52

got all the hardware painted it's ready

26:54

to go on after they're painted I'm not

26:56

sure if they're going to bring in the

26:57

cabinet tree first and then paint or

27:00

paint and then bring in the cabinet tree

27:01

I don't know their method I don't know

27:04

how they're going to do it but either

27:05

way we're making some major progress

27:08

this makes me very happy so now when we

27:10

put our curtains back we'll just have

27:12

curtains on the outside ones the little

27:14

cafe curtains so I can perfect those and

27:18

and cut them to size cuz I already made

27:20

the curtains for the space I hope you

27:21
