[intriguing music playing]
Hey! I'm Danielle,
your friendly tree-trimmer and
family spy.
We're outside of the Stovalls' house
waiting for them to leave
so that me and my team can get in there
and make over their house,
'cause they need it.
They got nine kids! Nine!
I'm Adam.
-I'm Jamie.
-I'm Gillian.
-Anna.
-Coleman.
-Andrew.
-Joseph.
-Thomas.
-Isaac.
David.
-[all] And we're the Stovalls.
-[Jamie]And we're the Stovall family.
[Coleman] Wait. What?
[Jamie] We are high school sweethearts.
We met in ninth grade.
And now we have nine kids.
[Danielle] My accomplice Ginny sent in
a video telling us all about this family.
[Ginny] I wanna nominate the Stovalls
because they are excited
about serving in their community,
and they're excited
about serving in the church,
but yet they live in a house where
things are broken
that they can't afford to fix
because they put so much of what they need
on the back burner for their kids.
[Adam] The house, I believe it
was built in 1952, so it's got some
-Age.
-Some age in its infrastructure.
Um, it's starting to show,
especially with a bustling family
of nine kids running around,
and six of those being boys.
[all laughing]
[Jamie] Nice!
[Adam] As a large family,
you can imagine that we accumulate
a lot of things in our house,
and that does become a challenge,
because there's a certain number of
essential things that every person needs,
and when you've got 11 people,
it just happens to add up.
[Jamie] That's where I store
all the homeschool stuff,
and it needs to be reorganized, but, um
it's another project for another day.
-[Jamie] Oh, my water!
-[Thomas] Look out.
[chuckling] I can't imagine
why we have stains on the carpet.
[Adam] The carpet is destined for failure.
It's very light-colored.
-It's got stains all over from boys, pets.
-[Jamie] Stains galore.
Good boy! Hey!
[Jamie] The biggest challenge
for us in this house is the kitchen.
[Adam] David, how's it going?
We have very little counter space.
The microwave and dishwater does not work.
We would love to have a kitchen
that supports feeding a family of 11.
[Jamie] What? You went first? Big shocker!
[Adam] We talked about building a custom
farm table, if you will, for this room.
Just something long enough for us.
[Jamie] Currently,
we've got two boys in each room upstairs,
and a bonus room downstairs
that the girls are in.
[Adam] We also love to do things outside,
and so it'd be neat to have, like,
a nice space out there
that's more permanent.
Time moves so fast, so I just want
things to be more of a home for everyone.
They give so much of themselves.
They love on so many people
that they just need to be loved on.
-[girl] Where's my backpack?
-Here they come.
-[Anna] Did someone get the soccer ball?
-[Isaac] I'll get it!
Act normal. You do this every day.
Not really, though.
[Anna] Someone does have it, good.
[Danielle] Ginny told the Stovalls
we didn't pick them.
[whistling]
[Danielle] But, really,
she's keeping them busy at her lake house
until seven o'clock tonight,
while we renovate their whole house.
Shh, shh, shh!
[Anna] Oh, I left my phone!
[shushing]
-[Adam] Your phone's in the house?
-[Anna] It's in my back pocket.
All right, team. Let's move in.
[Erik] Here we go. It's time.
It's time. Let's go.
[upbeat music playing]
[Danielle] No time to waste. Come on.
Let's make this house beautiful!
[vocalizing]
[Erik laughing] Let's go, buddy! Come on!
Go, go, go!
Come on! You're moving too slow!
[Erik] Let's go, buddy! Come on!
Whoo! Took a tumble!
Can't really do nothing from here, guys!
Mom?
["Gimme What I Want"
by Extreme Music playing]
Gimme gimme what I want
Gimme gimme all my dreams ♪
[Paige] Oh, Lordy.
[Erik] First of all,
let's just start packing it up.
I just need everything ♪
-[Nick] What do we have to do up here?
-[Adair] All right.
There's a lot of rooms.
Two, four, six, eight ♪
Let's get her done!
You see how crazy chaotic this is?
[song continues playing]
[Erik] We gotta double-time it,
'cause we've not had
this much stuff to move out just yet.
We've got a lot of pictures.
A lot of pictures for a lot of kids.
[song ends]
[Erik] I mean,
we're talking about 11 people.
I love kids and I think that those kids
are so energetic and full of life.
This is gonna be so exciting
to do this for them.
They do seem like a really tight unit,
which is nice.
I'm just concerned, my house barely
survived with just my brother and myself.
With six boys?
-Yeah. That's a lot of people. A lot.
-[Paige] Yeah.
So, I think, looking at this,
it's becoming pretty clear to me
that this family is drowning
in their stuff,
because right now,
from everything that we've seen,
it's a lot of things.
Removing all of the stuff in the house
is its own entity entirely.
Like, we literally have a job
before the job.
We have to get that done
before we can even move on.
Okay, you and I are gonna need to go over
how we're gonna get that much stuff out.
-'Cause it's a disaster in there. Okay?
-[Paige] Okay.
[Erik] All right, y'all.
Front to back, let's do it.
Nick, front yard. Talk to me.
What I see here is so much potential,
but this is a huge project
because, honestly,
this is some fertile land.
-Like, clearly, very fertile land.
-[Adair laughing] What?
-And it needs more life in the front.
-[Adair] What?
We gotta clean that exterior.
We could paint this house,
but I think it'd be, honestly,
easier to clean it.
Except cleaning it is tricky
because we don't know what
actual material that is until the day-of.
If we power-wash that stone,
clean that up,
add a little more plant life to the front
If you turn left,
we have an outdoor living room
to optimize and give them more space
for that family to hang out.
I think it's gonna
be a beautiful space to look at.
Okay. Coming into the house.
Adair, talk to me.
For the interior, I'm gonna lighten
everything in the house, brighten it up,
all-new furniture,
pull up all the carpeting,
make sure that we maximize storage,
and then also get them some furniture
that's really conducive
to housing a large group of people.
-Right.
-And then we know that they love to cook.
This is not a kitchen for that.
Remember, this was open?
This is now a wall to maximize storage
and to help delineate the kitchen space
from the den area.
I really like that.
They were lacking storage
throughout the entire house,
so any room we knew we can
get more storage in, we've done it.
And, Paige, the kids,
what are we doing in the bedrooms?
It's interesting to go in and out
of the different bedrooms
and really feel like there truly
is no strong identity within them.
Like, there should be some sort of
individuality within each room.
So the special project
is going to be a massive collaboration
between Adair and myself.
We want it to feel like it
really is their bedroom
and add furniture pieces
that incorporates storage,
because right now
there's not a lot of organization.
Figuring out a way
that we can bring that into this home,
I think, is going to be a slam dunk.
This is probably the biggest project
that we've done.
We gotta tear up carpet,
we gotta break down cabinets,
we gotta break down walls,
we gotta build new walls,
and we have to get their stuff out
in a timely, efficient manner.
So there's a lot to plan.
Not a timely, efficient manner.
One day for everything.
One day for everything.
-Wait, how long do we have?
-One day!
[clock ticking]
["I'm A Psycho" by Clooney playing]
You got nowhere to go
And you can never break free ♪
-[Nick] What is this?
-[Erik] This is a bucket in a chute.
-[Nick] This looks like a garbage can.
-[Erik] That's what it is.
-Hey, friends. How you doing?
-[Paige] Hi.
-[Erik] Can one of you hold that for me?
-[Adair] How's it going?
Entering the Stovalls' house right now
on this very narrow staircase.
Oh!
Oh, snap! Oh, my God!
-[Adair] How's it coming?
-[Erik] It's good.
Is this how your bedroom
looked at home as a kid?
[laughs] No comment.
["I'm A Psycho" continues playing]
-[Erik] Look all right?
-[man] I'm okay if you are.
[Erik] We got a chute going on.
-[Paige] Throw it down the chute.
-[Adair] Come on. Keep going.
[Danielle] Ahh! Okay.
-[Adair] Yes!
-[Paige] Hey!
[Erik] All right. Looks good.
This is Erik's idea.
[Erik] That staircase is
one of the smallest I've seen,
so coming down out the front door
is not an option.
We tried a few different things
at the warehouse, things got broken,
so we went old-fashioned trash chute,
like you seen in construction sites.
[Danielle] Yes!
Home Alone style. So we're
just throwing everything we can out.
We're gonna get this thing
out and clean as fast as we can.
[Danielle] Ahh! I'm picking up socks!
It's a weighted blanket.
What is happening?
Mama is consolidating.
I'll make sure
you go down real safe, okay?
[Danielle] Boy, that's teamwork
if I ain't never seen it!
[Paige] Let's get speedy on this.
[Adair] Keep going!
Let's go, let's go, let's go! Come on.
[Paige] I'm trying!
[Erik] This is taking way too long.
Come on, guys. Let's go. Erik says,
"Let's go." We can do this, team!
Here we go!
[Erik] Thank you.
[Paige] Phew!
I'm sorry! It's going down!
-[loud crash]
-[Danielle chuckling]
I feel so bad for them
picking up all them Legos.
Right?
[Adair] Push, push, push! Here you go.
Thank you.
You're doing so good, guys.
Yeah. Our job is done.
That move-out took three hours.
So we're an hour behind already.
[Erik] Take it apart in chunks instead of
breaking down every component.
So much to do, so little time!
[Adair] Let's play "Name That Stain."
[both] Name That Stain!
-[Adair] This one right here.
-This stain
Got a very large pattern.
Big, big center here.
-Sloppy Joe.
-Sloppy Joe.
-So a food fight. A food fight.
-It was a food fight for sure.
Oh, wow.
Okay. One piece down,
one billion more pieces to go.
-I was still behind it, though.
-Oh, oops. Sorry!
[grunts and coughs]
I am never going inside again.
-[Erik] Yo!
-Hey!
[Erik] Good job, dude!
How we looking?
We're gonna run
this power washing test real quick.
We've got two different tips.
We're gonna try a more powerful tip
and a less powerful tip,
because we don't know
exactly what kind of stone this is.
So we got a softer stone
and a harder stone up here as well.
The more powerful tip is gonna give us
a faster clean, so that would be ideal,
but given that it might be a soft stone,
like sandstone or limestone,
we gotta try it out
to make sure we don't actually damage it.
-So let's do that.
-All right.
-[machine whirring]
-[Nick] Let's clean some stone!
[Erik] Rock and roll, baby!
[Nick] Oh, yeah.
[Erik] Here's what I like.
Number one,
obviously no damage on the softer stones.
But more importantly,
having that softer tip
It's not actually softer,
what it's doing is widening that stream.
So you're getting a wider streak
across those stones.
That may actually end up being
in our favor and giving us a faster clean.
I'm just concerned that when we get there,
if this stone is at all softer than this,
we might be cleaning it by hand.
I'm not getting on my hands and knees
and scrubbing this.
No, you'll be on a ladder.
Just a couple minutes
and we've already seen a difference.
I don't think it's taken damage.
[Erik] That is good.
["Push Up The Beat" by Laura Vane playing]
Shake off the day
And we kick into play ♪
Until the night turns into day ♪
Push up the beat, keep it movin' ♪
There is so much work to be done.
It's crazy, but we've been here before.
This ain't our first time at the rodeo.
So let me tell you something,
we are gonna get it done! Today!
Now, by doing this, Adair, we're gonna
get so much more cabinet space here.
[upbeat music playing]
So much going on, so little time.
[Paige] Hand me the next screw.
-[Adair] There you go.
-Thank you.
[Adair] More screws over here too.
All right.
All right, this needs to go up.
Our kitchen is coming together.
This is looking really beautiful.
Paige, look at all this storage!
[upbeat music continues]
This is Build World
that we're landing into now.
We're gonna go find Erik.
Hey, y'all.
Ooh!
Just making a little table situation.
This is the pallet that we reclaimed
off the wall in the living room.
So this pallet
has sayings from the family.
-[Erik] Exactly.
-I see, "Encourage your siblings."
"Use your gifts with compassion."
This is gonna be really special.
It's one-of-a-kind.
No one's gonna have it.
-But it means so much to the family.
-Absolutely.
We created this pallet. As you can see,
it's our family mission statement.
It's kind of hard to see,
but everything we do,
we try to filter it through these values.
-Okay?
-Got it.
Why do you always
gotta hand me the most massive
-This is not normal.
-I could give you a smaller one.
But it'd have to be pneumatic.
-Do I need to do anything?
-Nope, just press down, pull the trigger.
-Oh, my Lord. Okay.
-Yep. Bang, bang. Right there.
-Yep. Real nice.
-This ain't nothing.
-[Erik] Is that you? Beautiful.
-Yeah, man!
-[Danielle] Hey, guys.
-[Adair] Let's go.
-[Danielle] What can I help with? Do you
-Danielle, yes, please.
Um, when we get it up, you're gonna
help us shimmy it into the corner.
-Okay. Bet.
-Pray it clears.
-[Danielle] It clears. Oh, it's not.
-[Adair] What's it look like?
-[Danielle] It's stuck.
-[Paige] Oh, yeah. We are yo.
-[Danielle] For real.
-[Paige] Okay, so here's the thing.
We're gonna tilt it back this way,
and then we're gonna
scoot the bottom toward me.
-That's exactly it.
-[Adair] You got it.
-[Danielle] Ooh
-[Adair] You got it? And there we go.
-[Danielle] Let's shimmy.
-[Paige] One, two, three.
[Adair] You all got it? All right.
-Now we gotta
-[Danielle] Okay. Little shimmy.
[Paige] Now, straight back.
[Danielle laughing] Time to break out.
It's time to do it.
-[Adair] Come on.
-Okay.
[rock music playing]
-[gas hissing and igniting]
-[Erik] Here we go, dude.
-[Nick] There we go.
-Let's light some things on fire.
[flames rushing]
Hey, don't forget the top, either!
[Erik] Absolutely!
[Danielle] Erik, what are you doing?
Why do I see smoke?
Danielle, it's the fastest way to
dry it off, 'cause we need to paint this.
Here's the deal. You're gonna hold this.
-Okay.
-I'm gonna light your flame.
You get in there and torch the wall.
-I'm Mimi, and you're gonna light my fire.
-Two hands.
-[flame whooshing]
-Whoa!
Go for it! Let's go, baby!
Get all up in there. Get close.
Why do y'all trust me with this stuff?
I don't trust you with it! Get closer!
-[Danielle] Like, this is fire.
-[Erik] Yeah!
Now, you know my biggest question,
"How long does this take?"
Well, see the smoke?
-Yes.
-That means there's no more water.
-That's a good thing.
-Okay.
We're not doing the house,
we're only doing the wall.
Nick's gonna paint this.
It's gonna be a beautiful thing.
-I got you, buddy.
-[Danielle] All right.
Thanks, Danielle.
Over at the lake house,
the Stovalls have no clue
we're setting their house on fire.
The only flames they see
are the ones on the grill.
-[horn honks]
-[Danielle] Hey.
My accomplice, Ginny,
told them she was going out for buns
so she could sneak over to see me.
-Hi! How are you?
-Hi, Ginny! Are you a hugger?
-[laughing] Yes, I am!
-Okay!
-[Danielle] You wanna come in with me?
-Yes, ma'am.
[Danielle] Let's do it. Let's do it.
[Ginny] So excited!
[Danielle] Let's go in here.
-[Ginny] Oh, my goodness.
-This is Paige.
-How are you?
-Can I give you a hug?
-Yes!
-[Danielle] Ginny.
-Oh! So nice to meet you.
-Oh, my goodness. They are gonna flip out.
-Are you excited?
-I'm shaking. They're gonna be so excited.
-You know, a lot more storage.
-[Ginny] Yes.
Brand new counter-tops.
Which they need.
They need a lot more storage.
You guys keep going.
Don't let me keep you. Enjoy.
-This, I like this.
-[Paige] Thank you!
[Danielle] Watch your step,
'cause this might be paint.
Let's go outside,
I wanna talk to you some more.
-[Ginny] Okay.
-Okay.
So they rented this house at first, right?
Right. So I think
they bought it two years ago,
but they've not been able
to do much with it at all.
-I mean
-So everything is breaking.
I think last time we came over
to have dinner with them,
the dishwasher was broken.
Oh, no.
And then you have 11 people eating here
three times a day, you know? So, yeah.
-But they make it work.
-They make it work.
They make it work and they still find
a way to give to their community.
Absolutely.
So they have, like, a soup kitchen.
Anyone in the community
can come get food from there.
The kids are involved,
Jamie and Adam are involved.
And they do it every week.
We're involved in our church,
and one of the things
that we really enjoyed watching
our church do through the pandemic
is we opened up our food co-op
for food relief.
Weekly, I take the boys up to the church,
and we unload the trailer
from the Atlanta Food Bank,
and distribute to the families
that just need that extra bit of help.
That's something that
they get excited about doing.
And to know that
it benefits a community in need,
it's a blessing for them to get to make
face-to-face contact with these families.
It's just another
life-learning opportunity
that takes our large family passion
with our passion to serve and combines it.
So, tell me,
how are you gonna keep them
away from this house as my accomplice?
We'll grill out. Play.
-We got this! Me and you.
-[laughs] I'm so excited.
-I feel confident!
-Yes!
So, when I call you,
the only thing I need from you
is for you to bring them to me
when the time is right.
-All right! Yes! Thank you.
-Thank you!
[upbeat music playing]
[Paige] That's one's in.
Here we go. Push, push. Okay.
I love reading directions
under time crunch.
That's, like, my favorite thing to do.
I had a Murphy bed in college.
These things are so much fun.
[Danielle] We're halfway home
and making up time.
Erik and Paige are ahead
in the kids' rooms,
and the new kitchen is on schedule.
Adair's catching up
on storage installation,
and Nick's flamethrower idea caught him up
outside so we can paint the exterior.
[Nick] Junior, are we lined up?
More? Right here. I think that's good.
[thunder rumbling]
-[rock music playing]
-[rain falling]
[rock music continues]
[Nick exclaiming]
We're gonna end up wasting so much time
painting if it all washes away.
I'm just worried about this.
-Oh, boy.
-[rain continues]
[Nick] We gotta get this wall covered.
Do you have tarps for this?
-[worker] That's what we're doing now.
-[Nick] Because we need the paint to dry.
Man, this thing
this is a swimming pool out here.
-[Erik] Nick, what's going on?
-Dude.
You got hair dryers going?
The rain. We're trying to
cover this with tarp as fast as possible.
Just watch the wall
'cause that just got painted.
-This has to dry before we put in pavers.
-[Erik] Okay.
[Nick] Once that's in,
I'll have Mike bring the forklift,
and come in with the crush and run,
the stone dust.
That'll make this
not a giant swimming pool.
Yeah. All right. I'll help you
with the post if you wanna do that now.
["Get Started" playing]
[Danielle] Alright. Now
[Nick] Danielle,
we're running into some big issues.
-This weather's killing me.
-I know!
I mean,
I wanted to get started on the patio,
but I can't bring in the stone dust
to start setting it and levelling it
because right now
we need the paint to dry.
So this is setting us back,
but if we build this little tent,
we can then bring in the forklift
and kind of scoot it in here,
but we've gotta protect the paint first.
You have so much work to do,
like, when I see this yard
-[Nick] We're behind now.
-So much!
Normally, Danielle, if it rained like this
we would just have a day off.
But we don't have that option.
[worker] So,
we're looking for bedroom stuff.
-[Adair] It's a little confusing in here.
-[Paige] Yay! Ooh!
-Okay. Girls' room.
-[Erik] Girls' room.
Yes. Downstairs, downstairs.
-[Paige] Ooh! Watch out.
-[Adair] Okay.
Thank you, guys! Come on, Paige!
This rain! Ahh!
-[worker] Okay.
-You got it?
-[Erik] Whoop! Jeez!
-[worker] Oh, my God.
[Adair] Guys, where are they?
What is taking so long?
-[worker] Sorry.
-Traffic jam.
-You know what? I'm gonna run this one up.
-[worker] Okay.
[Erik] This is why
we threw things out the window.
[worker] I know.
[Paige] Everyone,
be careful on those stairs.
This is taking a long time
and we have nine beds to make.
This is the biggest family
we've ever worked with.
-[Paige] Oof!
-Nine kids.
And we already know storage
is a problem in the house in general.
So, today, we're gonna
try to configure each room
to be what it's gonna be on the day of,
knowing we don't
really have a lot of time.
-Cool?
-[Erik] Mmm-hmm.
We're gonna give every kid a bed,
we're gonna give every kid a desk,
and then we're gonna have to play around
with who gets what in terms of storage.
Let's try it.
[intense music playing]
Oh, Adair, this is gonna be so tight.
-[Nick] Three, in this size?
-Try it.
[Paige] Okay, let me see. Hang on. No.
-[Erik] Nope. JK.
-I already have three. Get out of here.
-Like, right here?
-[Adair] Um, no, no. Maybe we do
[Erik] We're gonna have to bunk it, dude.
[Adair] This room
is gonna have to be bunked.
-Up here.
-[Adair] That's fine.
This room doesn't even have a desk.
This is too small.
-Oh, this is a bunk bed?
-Bunk bed.
Okay.
-But not enough storage.
-[Adair] One table per child.
How the heck
am I gonna do one table per child?
I can't even fit a child in here.
I'm a little concerned,
'cause we talked
so much about, like, personalization
and the kids really feeling
like they have their own spot.
[Adair] But we'll see.
'Cause this is a test.
-We're just trying it, right?
-[Paige] Right.
Nothing may land.
[Paige] We're gonna try pulling stuff
into the boys'. They need the most.
-Where is your hustle? Come on!
-[all mutter]
We're thinking about it.
We gotta think, we can't just do.
[Paige] This feels like
the right amount of space.
[Adair] They have a little storage.
They have their desk.
Table in the center between
the two beds to break it up a bit.
Right. No, I like this a lot.
-[Paige] Excuse me. All right. Hi.
-Hey-o!
[Paige] Good coming on that one.
-Any room? Any room.
-[indistinct chatter]
[Erik] Girls' room! Coming through!
This is what's considered
the bonus room on the house.
We've got three girls in here,
after the six boys lived in here.
That's why our daughters have Superman
and Spider-Man light switches.
This is the hardest box I ever opened.
And I've opened a lot of boxes.
-[laughing]
-What? Am I
Those go to Joseph and Isaac's room.
Far right.
-Get it!
-[Erik straining]
[Jamie] Joseph and Isaac
are our Crossfit boys.
Our theater kids,
they love their quiet and chill.
-Where are we going?
-Thomas and David.
[Erik] Thomas! I got mirrors.
[Jamie] Our dancer guys.
-Let's go sort some stuff out.
-Let's go do it!
[Nick] All right. Heads up.
Got a big, big bag of crusher
coming in right here.
So you should be fine right there.
Just be mindful. Forward.
There we go. Yep.
["Outta Here" by Nine One One playing]
[Nick] All right. We're good.
There we go.
Well, this is great.
Mike, thank you.
We're gonna grade this out.
-[Mike] I'll go get some more.
-Cool.
[upbeat music playing]
-[Adair] Can you help?
-[Danielle] Yeah.
These mirrors, they're like little
Broadway-style dressing room mirrors.
-Nice!
-You wanna put the base on?
[Nick] We gotta grab the pavers.
We're stuck?
[worker] What? Can you cut it back?
This is bad.
[intense music playing]
-We're, like, really stuck in here.
-No, I know. We're stuck in the mud.
-[Nick] Literally stuck in the mud.
-[worker] Literally stuck.
Oh, man, I mean
-We need these pavers for the patio.
-Correct.
-[Nick] This is a nightmare scenario.
-And it's getting worse.
[intense music continues]
Tow it!
[worker] We're gonna
try to do this to make it faster.
If we can pull him out
You ready?
-[Nick] There you go. There you go.
-[Mike] Get out.
-[worker 1] Come on!
-[worker 2] Keep it straight! Almost!
-[worker 3] Straight, straight!
-[worker 1] Yo!
[Nick] This is a mess.
-We gotta do it by hand.
-[Mike] Yeah.
I'm gonna get the guys, the wheelbarrows,
get it out of here.
-All right. Thanks.
-Okay. All right.
[Nick] Not good.
[upbeat music playing]
Yeah. Murphy beds are great.
This is classy.
[Paige] And it's fun.
[Nick] Look how much water.
Ugh, we need to dry this off.
-Nick, what's going on out here, buddy?
-So many problems.
With all the rain,
even with the crush and run,
we're bailing ourselves out like a ship.
[Erik] Yeah.
I wanna get these pavers down
as fast as possible,
but because it is so muddy out there,
we can't bring in the forklift.
We gotta get the wheelbarrows out there
and just bring each paver in.
-[Erik] Are you serious?
-Yep.
All right, here are the barrows?
I finished bringing things off the trucks.
-What do we need?
-Yeah.
[Nick] All these wheelbarrows right here,
we just gotta fill 'em up
with as many of the blocks as possible.
[Erik] Okay.
[Nick grunting]
[upbeat music continues]
-Just stack them on the side for now.
-[Erik] Yeah.
We might need a rug here, no?
So this room is supposed to double
as a dining room and also
-the room for them to homeschool.
-Yeah.
Look around and see what's missing.
There's no place to put any books.
[Adair] Exactly.
I feel like the dining room
can actually be down there,
where we already
have all that beautiful built-in storage.
Let's just start taking the chairs
down to that dining room area.
[Paige] Those chairs?
[Adair] We gotta get somebody
to help us move that table.
Float it in the center of the room
right now. It's gonna be a little weird.
-Yes! Yes! Yes!
-[Paige] Thank you, guys!
You guys, I might need you in a second.
-If this doesn't
-We are not moving this table back.
If we move this table back,
we're getting all the kids to help us
move this table back.
That is the only way
this thing is moving back.
[worker] Got the door?
We gotta get things loaded.
Y'all go load your stuff back up.
Let's go, team.
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
-[worker 1] Buckle up, buttercups!
-[worker 2] Buckle up. Buckle up.
-We're still battling the rain.
-[Erik] Yup.
[phone ringing]
[Danielle] Hello?
Hey, Danielle. It's me.
They're headed that way.
Maybe you can, like, get lost.
Traffic. How about that?
-I'll do my best. I'll do my best.
-All right. You my girl.
-Thank you! Okay, bye.
-Bye-bye.
The family's coming now.
-No! We need a little bit more time!
-The family is on the way.
This looks amazing! Great, great, great!
[Paige exclaiming]
[Danielle] We're, uh, running out of time.
-I wanna go this way.
-[Danielle] You got it.
[tense music playing]
[worker] We need all these bags over here.
Fifteen minutes, y'all!
Let's make it happen.
This is a good day for, like, soup
and sandwiches for dinner or something.
[Thomas] Please!
[tense music continues]
[Danielle] Five minutes, people!
[Thomas] What if we
do chicken and waffles?
Chicken and waffles
I could eat any time of day.
We have leftover chicken.
[tense music continues]
Here they are! Let's go!
-What in the world?
-Oh, my goodness.
Hey! Come, come!
Come, come, come, Stovall family!
[intriguing music playing]
Yes, this way! Come, come, come!
[gasps] What?
-Oh, my God!
-[Anna] Oh, my gosh!
-[Jamie] Oh, my God!
-[Coleman] Wait!
-Oh, my gosh, it looks so good!
-[Jamie] What?
Oh, it's so cute!
[Coleman] What? Oh, my gosh!
-Hello! Adam! Hey, everybody!
-Hello!
-Hi! Just get out of the van.
-Okay.
-What a beautiful family!
-Hi!
[Danielle] I mean,
I saw pictures, but dang.
-How y'all feeling?
-[Adam] Great! How are you?
-[Danielle] Shocked?
-Great!
Yes! I'm Danielle Brooks,
and I'm so excited for this moment,
'cause we have renovated your house!
[all exclaiming]
[David] Oh, my gosh.
[Danielle] Things have changed, huh?
[uplifting music playing]
[exclaiming and laughing]
Oh, my God.
[Jamie] Oh, my gosh!
-You okay?
-[Anna] It looks so good!
[Jamie] Blew our minds.
Our house looked completely different.
I'm just like, "Whose house is this?"
[all exclaiming]
-[Anna] This is crazy.
-Unreal.
-Well, you wanna come with me?
-[all] Yes!
-[Danielle] All right.
-[David] This looks so good already.
-[Adam] Go ahead.
-[Jamie] Oh, my God.
-[Andrew] I'm just in love with outside.
-Now I want Gillian to be here with us.
Our yard looks nice for once.
Like, really, really nice.
[triumphant music playing]
Oh, my gosh!
Oh, my God!
-[Anna] What?
-[Adam] No way!
It's the family statements!
[David] Mom, come look at the table.
[Jamie crying]
[triumphant music continues]
[Adam] This is awesome.
-[Isaac] This is
-I don't have words.
[Andrew] Oh, my gosh.
She just always wanted
a little patio out there.
A little outside space she can rest in
when she's tired of us kids.
-She wants a break from us.
-[Danielle] Does this look familiar?
[Anna] Yes!
[Jamie] So this is
our family mission statement.
When we started having a lot of kids,
we were like,
"How do we decide
what to say yes and no to?"
And if it checks those boxes,
then we say yes.
If it doesn't, then we don't.
[Danielle] Y'all are
messing me up right now.
I made it and I remember just thinking,
"Is it possible to raise a large family
with these values?"
I'm able to look at it now
and say it worked.
I started to cry earlier.
[Adam laughing]
You know what?
I think that's enough talking.
-I think so!
-I wanna go inside!
-Okay! Go in!
-[Anna] Whoo! Let's go!
You go first.
-[Danielle] Mom and Dad!
-[Anna] Oh, my gosh. I'm so excited.
-[Danielle] Oh, yeah!
-[all exclaiming]
[uplifting music playing]
-Oh, my gosh!
-Oh, my gosh.
-[David] Where did all the stuff go?
-[Adam] This is, um
-[Anna] What?
-[Coleman] This isn't our house!
It was just amazing this morning.
All of our furniture
has been hand-me-downs.
It was all just like new and comfortable.
[David] I love this.
[Adam] Wow. Wow.
[Jamie] Oh, my goodness.
[David] I was just so confused.
I have no clue
what the before-house looked like.
-We got new curtains.
-[Anna] Oh, my gosh.
-Y'all go first.
-[Adam] Okay.
-Oh, my word.
-[Coleman] Oh, my God!
-[Jamie] Oh, my gosh. Oh, my goodness.
-[Adam] I don't even
-[all exclaiming]
-[Jamie] This is beautiful!
We got the cabinets up here now.
[Anna] Is this our house?
[Coleman] We have visibility.
-[Joseph] We got cabinets.
-[Anna] A working dishwasher!
Let's go! Wait, guys. Microwave as well.
We got a working microwave now.
-[David] I have no clue where
-[Adam] It's so different.
[Anna] You fit under the light!
Yeah, we got a new one.
I won't hit my head anymore.
[gasps] Oh, my gosh.
[all exclaim]
[Anna] Oh, my gosh.
A table that fits everyone!
[Coleman] Oh, no!
The dining room is my favorite.
The table is big enough for all of us.
We don't have to piece tables together.
And I'm so excited
to see something that looks durable
and ready for those boys to come
and gather to eat and learn at.
-And no more carpet.
-[Anna] Whoo! No more carpet!
[all] Yeah!
How many of you guys have spilled
something on the carpet in our house?
[lau]
Oh, wait, I forgot this
was our living room for a second.
[Thomas] I like this much better
as the dining room.
-It feels weird that there's a wall there.
-[Thomas] I love this room.
Oh, my goodness. It's so beautiful.
There's so many shelves.
-We love us some books.
-[Jamie] We do.
[Thomas] Yes.
-[Anna] Okay. Ready?
-[Joseph] Yeah.
[Andrew] Grand reveal.
Oh, my God. Oh, Addison has a bed.
-[Jamie] Oh, my gosh.
-[Coleman] "When in doubt, dance it out!"
Everyone start busting it down.
What's my favorite part
about mine and Gillian's room, uh
the little vanity mirrors on the desk
attached to the really cool beds.
[Anna] Oh, my gosh. Look!
Look, there's baskets with like extra
[Thomas] Oh, my
[Adam] I can't even envision the
old house right now as I walk through it.
[Jamie] It feels like a bedroom now.
[Gillian] We can,
like, see the entire room now.
That's definitely a plus.
-Oops.
-It's so cool.
-You like it?
-I love it.
-This is mine and Thomas's.
-[Isaac] This is insane.
Oh, my gosh.
How?
[Adam] I don't even know where to look.
It's so different.
David, look at all that.
-They were so excited.
-Oh, yeah.
So excited.
Oh, my goodness.
Look, these are dancing discs.
You dance on these.
-[Adam] That is super cool.
-You can practice your dancing on there.
-[Thomas] Can we tap it?
-[Jamie] Holy cow!
This folds out to be a bed.
-[Adam] This is the same as that one.
-[Jamie] Yes.
-[Thomas] That folds out to be a bed?
-[Jamie] What do you think?
It's crazy. I love it.
-[Jamie] That is unreal. Yes.
-[Adam] Wow. Very cool.
Isaac, look at this. This is your room.
-Yeah, I'm getting that bed!
-[laughs]
-[Isaac] Joseph
-[Jamie] Joseph, what do you think?
You have your own workout bench in here.
This is crazy.
[Isaac] There's so much workout equipment.
-Oh, my gosh.
-There's skateboards up there.
[David] They got two skateboards.
So happy.
Because I've been asking
for workout weights,
equipment, a new skateboard.
This is amazing.
He is just giddy about his room.
Super cool to see our kids' interests
honored in that way.
All right, so this is Coleman and Andrew.
-Love it?
-[Coleman] Yeah!
Look, he got Look at that.
[Jamie] Oh, this is amazing.
-[Coleman] How awesome?
-[Jamie] Yes.
[Andrew] There's so much storage.
We got our own desks now.
And look at this.
Andrew has a signature style.
He wears a bandana
that matches his outfit every day.
He was giddy.
[Andrew] That is such a
smart way to store those.
This is amazing. I love it so much.
There's so much light in here now.
To do a renovation in a day,
it's mind-blowing that
that was even possible.
-[Coleman] Hey, guys!
-[all greeting]
[Nick] Oh, my God.
There's like a whole army here.
[all laughing]
I mean, it's just stunning.
It just looks amazing.
-[Adair] Hi!
-[Paige] Can I get a hug?
-[Adair] How are you?
-I'm Nick.
[all greeting]
It blew my mind. There's so many things
that we've wanted for our home.
I never imagined anybody coming in
and just wiping the slate clean for us
-and doing them for us.
-Yeah.
We don't ever expect anything,
you know, from someone else.
-[voice breaks] It just was overwhelming.
-Yeah.
[Nick] Two hundred people were over here,
it wasn't just us five.
It was, like, a whole army of people
coming over to the house,
but it was good.
I'm just so thankful that 200 people
came and did our whole house in one day.
Hey, guys,
I'm sorry to break up this fun party time.
But, unfortunately,
me and the team have to go.
But it has been nothing less
than a pleasure renovating your home
and changing it up, so we hope you enjoy.
-[Paige] Yes!
-[Danielle] We really do!
-But we gotta bounce! Thank you so much!
-[Jamie] Thank you so much. Bye, guys.
-[Anna] Bye! Thank you so much.
-[Adam] Bye-bye.
Wow! That was incredible. Oh, my gosh.
Whoa, we survived it all.
Go out and
be a blessing to somebody, y'all.
I'm Danielle Brooks. We out.
It's a beautiful life ♪
It's a beautiful life ♪
[Anna] Our parents are constantly
pouring into others, pouring into us,
pouring into our community.
It's really awesome to see
so many people pour into them
and the house that they've created.
What I hope that you guys learn from this,
it's okay to be on the receiving end of it
and learn to accept it with humility,
and grace, and appreciation.
You know, you absolutely deserve
to be given a little bit back.
[crying] It's overwhelming.
Thank you.
It's a beautiful life ♪
