spectacular project we're working on as
you can see we move a lot slower these
days we have a 6-month old baby we have
2 hours to paint this
block we need a
ladder
I don't have
one checking to see if our neighbors
have a ladder they do but kind of wanted
an A-frame on her ER probably has one
are you just filming me yeah I think you
should hit a cartwheel see how much
better you feel yeah
baby is that the right size
Chuck no ow yeah you kind of need to
like hold it see I asked for no you're
in Reverse again oh my gosh it's hard
for these cute little hands I have hi
Frankie there that's it so you got to
you got to put it forward

disgusting hi Baby Frankie were you
being grumpy for Grandma no I just
wanted to come play with Mom and Dad a
yeah supervise I'm the manager love you
Bubba I'm the
manager whoopsies now what color did we
go with I feel like all moms can relate
all of a sudden when you have 2 hours to
do something you're like the most
productive version of yourself so I just
feel super productive like there's no
way we're not getting this garage
painted in 2
hours
ooh oh
great I asked for
black hey bud yo uh we just started
painting the color is a little lighter
than we thought do you guys want to come
out in your little princess balcony and
we wanted
black I can see that
yeah you can see that it's not black I
can see that why you might not be like
thrilled with
it wow that looks much better yeah we
weren't sold on the color but I think it
looks much better there's always
something happening at the triplex
exactly come outside we got dog walking
we've got uh what do you call this
boys this is the way Bob's brain works
it's very smart very going to dip that
in the paint and then like scrape it on
there so it gets in the grooves gen
you're a genius dude I'm not I I
honestly am not just saying that see you
got like a curve on that or something no
I don't have a curve on just shoot
they're back guys they're back it looks
like there's a curve on it you got to
like trim the like this is not a very
clean piece here it's just and you're
got in on an angle try like that you got
to come straight man right there are
your glasses on imagine I just uh pulled
the trigger back in oh you probably
will anything for a clip
shut it looks way better but it's funny
when you do a project and you do one
thing and it deletes that from your mind
but then highlights all the other
imperfections like the windows the brown
roof I got at least do the windows I
just put Frankie down for the night and
I came out looking for Aon thinking he'd
be still so hard at work cuz I hadn't
heard a peep from him but he's just in
the admiration station it's crazy cuz
now seeing it on camera it's very clear
that the white needs to
go I Lally just said that I think it's
always been really easy to work with you
because we do see things really
similarly like that like I mean the
brown is pretty eyes sore too yeah the
brown is ugly everything needs to be
black this is what happens you start a
job and then all of a sudden it becomes
a way bigger job huh just said that
okay good morning everybody this is my
favorite time of day prank and I have
our morning coffee she has a latte
obviously and um we just just get to be
super grateful for life don't we

about ag1 over the last four years but
it is a supplement that contains 75
vitamins minerals and Whole Food sourced

sauna not really the sauna but we're
prepping the space for the

from the TVs in the garage and I'm
hopeful we can tuck it into the corner
as much as possible so we're just marked
it out 6t we're making a
6x6 patio area and now we got to kind of
finesse the Earth so it's actually
sloping down we're going to just kind of
push that Earth level the best we can

a bit of help other times he's
just I think he's blind I got to come up
