[tense music playing]
[Danielle echoing] Hello!
Hello!
How you doing?
Nobody's in this house ♪
We got a fresh house!
[echoing] House.
Yo!
[chuckling] This is wild.
I know that our team is about
to have so much fun with this house.
But before we can even get started,
we have floor problems.
There's no flooring.
We gotta put in
2,000 square feet of flooring
before we can even get this crew in here.
-Let's do it.
-[dramatic music playing]
I'mma stop talking,
and I'mma go handle that right now.
Game time, baby. Let's go.
Hey, everybody.
Everybody, hey. Okay, this is what I need.
I need half of you all to
start on flooring,
and I need the other half
to get started outside.
Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
[Danielle] Whoo! Here we go. Here we go.
[upbeat music playing]
Whoo! Here we go, baby!
-That's what I'm talking about.
-Guys, get everything out that you can.
I want this to be a space where they can
actually hang out and use this front yard.
'Cause it's a big space.
Soon as we're done with that,
we'll take the stairs out. We gotta move.
This is looking good. Let's go!
[upbeat music continues]
Hey, Danielle!
What's up?
Oh, my gosh! How crazy is this, right?
-I am so excited!
-[Danielle] This is bananas right now.
It smells like lumber.
That's a good sign.
Okay, how do you know Tami and Scott?
I've known Scott and Tami
for seven years now.
Um, they're just people that constantly
give of themselves freely and selflessly.
Specifically, have a heart
for the marginalized.
Those that live on the streets,
those that are completely without.
-Nice.
-This year alone,
they have given away 10,000 pounds
of food to the community.
There's nobody in Atlanta
that is more deserving than them.
My name's Scott,
and this is my amazing wife, Tami.
And this is our son right behind us.
He goes by Ezekiel.
So these are the blueprints for the house.
And there's been a lot
of different hands on these blueprints.
We had a vision.
This was gonna be our dream home.
We want it very modern and clean-looking.
[Scott] Kind of having
that urban-industrial kind of look.
[Tami] We hired a contractor who said
they could do it in four to six months.
[Scott] And four months
turned into a year.
But it was all these promises.
"It's gonna be done."
-"It's gonna be this, gonna be that."
-And then he disappeared.
It really does blow my mind
that four years ago,
they purchased this home,
ready to build this family,
and all of a sudden
[imitates brakes screeching]
the train tracks stopped.
You know the house
was completely naked, right?
-Nothing in there.
-Yeah.
-[Scott] This is the kitchen area.
-[Tami] Yes.
This is supposed to be an island.
[Scott] The yard,
because we're not living there,
we haven't really
been able to take care of it.
[Tami] It looks like people use it
as a trash dumping site.
[Scott] But I think this house has put
so much stress and so much weight on us.
-[Tami] Yeah.
-[Scott] Paying multiple houses.
Now it's the mortgage for this house,
and it's the rent for the other house.
It has been financially
just completely draining.
There are certain times
where it gets super tense
'cause you have to figure out every month
how you're gonna pay for it.
[Scott] Worst-case,
we won't be able to keep the house.
[Tami] And I'm losing hope.
They think that they're coming to
meet with a contractor tonight.
Of course, they were super hesitant,
but I told them,
"If you trust me,
then you can trust that this person
is the right contractor for you."
They're willing to come meet him tonight.
When they get here, plot twist,
you're the contractor
that they're gonna meet.
We're getting this done in one day, Megan.
-Yeah!
-One day.
So the biggest thing is,
you're my accomplice.
-When I call you, please pick up.
-I'm gonna pick up.
'Cause every minute
is crucial with this thing, okay?
-Yup.
-Okay?
-Thank you, girl!
-Yeah, girl!
-We got this!
-[rock music playing]
We gotta get the stairs on
before we get the railing on.
[tools whirring]
[Erik] That's the stuff. Drop it.
We gotta double-time it.
Let's go.
The house is a 1950s ranch.
The problem with this house
is the fact that it's completely undone.
There's nothing inside.
But, Paige, I think you're 100% right.
There's a lot to do here
in terms of the size and the magnitude.
-[laughs] Yes.
-I'm just gonna say it.
It's more than a renovation.
It's a rescue.
[Adair] Totally.
So the highlight of this front
starts with color.
We're gonna have the white
across the front here.
-And this nice dark charcoal.
-[Paige] That's great. It looks wonderful.
[Nick] And then you have the plants
for the pop of color.
With some nice perennial flowers
in the front,
it's gonna look amazing.
But I still need something
in the hardscaping
to connect to the front.
I know flagstones take a while, right?
Because we have to cut the flagstones out.
I grew up
with my front walkway being flagstones.
And I just have
such a special affinity towards it.
It just gives it such a more natural look.
But when you're talking about flagstones,
you're talking about excavation,
laying down sand,
laying down stone dust,
laying down the pavers,
making sure everything is graded.
That's a lot to do on that day.
Yes. I'll play around with it.
[Erik] Let's jump into the house.
Adair, walk us through.
One thing to note is,
we know for sure that they love,
love, love the industrial aesthetic.
But I think for them,
we need to warm it up a bit.
-I'm adding farmhouse to that.
-Love it.
[Erik] Okay, excellent, excellent.
Can you walk us through
the main rooms on the interior?
[Adair] The very first thing
this house needs is floors.
Floors take forever.
And you can't do anything else in a house
until the floors are laid down.
-Okay?
-[Adair] Uh, yeah. This is not good.
So, all-new flooring,
all-new kitchen,
all-new kitchen cabinetry.
Okay.
[Adair] That is a stove
inset into the island.
And now, we have
a delineated space for the dining room.
And headed into the living room,
not only are we finishing the beams,
we're adding metal tile cladding
to the fireplace.
-Okay. There's a lot going on now.
-You can't tell me no.
You can't tell me no.
Back on up.
Okay, so
Remember, this was a hazard before.
There was nothing there.
Now we're putting up some metal railings
and some industrial-looking shelves.
-So, wood and steel.
-[Erik] That's nice.
We're gonna swing over
into the main bedroom.
Okay. So we're in the main bedroom.
What I'm proposing is we're gonna
drop some really beautiful furniture,
we're gonna accessorize,
and we're gonna get out of here.
I like the vibes.
I think that fits farmhouse nicely.
-[Adair] Totally. Thank you.
-[Erik] All right.
Let's head into Ezekiel's bedroom.
I feel like for Ezekiel's room,
we should do something
really, really special.
He's never had his own room,
so I'm sure
the first thing you'll notice is,
it's the only room in the house
that has color, which is very exciting.
Within his own closets,
we're going to do wallpaper.
Adair, don't kill me.
Um, but I think
that'd be really, really special
I agree.
to personalize his bedroom.
Wallpaper?
Yep.
That's a lot of time for a closet, man.
And so labor-intensive.
And of course we need to figure out
how to lay down flooring
in the entire house
before we do any of that.
So that's wonderful.
Super optimistic
we're gonna figure it out.
2,000 square feet worth.
Uh-huh! Okay, let's get to work.
[clock ticking]
["Rise Up" by Nick Kingsley
and Daniel Farrant playing]
Rise up and face your fear ♪
Rise up and face the demon ♪
Rise up, rise up ♪
Once we get this fully cleaned up,
then we have to get
the underlayment laid down.
[Adair] Just like in the test.
[Erik] All right, so we know the
biggest issue is laying down the flooring
as quickly as possible on the day of.
So we have a 60% scale
of the actual layout of the house.
[Adair] Mmm-hmm.
We are going to lay down three types
of flooring, see who can do it fastest.
Whoever gets it done the fastest
is gonna be the winner.
That's gonna be
the one that we use on the day.
On this pad, in the red team,
Nicholas, you are laying down carpet.
You can't lay down carpet in the kitchen.
So you actually have to create
a transition to tile in the kitchen.
-Wait, carpet and tile?
-Yeah.
-[Nick] But they
-[Erik] Nope! Moving on!
In the center, on the charcoal team,
the one, the only, Adair Curtis
Whoo!
Let's go, y'all!
[Erik] laying down the magnetic floor.
Okay, so you gotta
lay down the underlayment,
and then the tiles
are gonna stick to that via magnets.
-Okay.
-[Erik] Easy-peasy lemon squeezy.
And on the far pad,
on the heather gray team,
standing 6'1",
towering over all three of us,
laying down the click-lock floor,
Paige Mobley.
On your mark, get set
[horn blaring]
[Erik] You're already delayed.
Come on. Get in there.
[Paige] This is not as fast
as I thought it would be.
-You gotta move faster than that, buddy.
-[Adair] Push it.
[Erik] That magnet flooring's
going down pretty quick.
[Paige] Hey, Erik. Get out.
-I'm just telling you what I'm seeing.
-Go away.
Looks like they're making
a lot more progress to start.
Listen, you lay down that carpet,
it's gonna go quickly.
-You gotta get the tack strips down first.
-[Nick] Yup.
Look how easy this is.
-[Paige] Unfair!
-[Adair laughs]
[Adair] It's looking good.
-This is the finish line.
-[Erik] Almost there.
Hey, Adair,
you're looking a little sweaty over there.
[Adair] I am.
But I also look like a winner.
[all exclaim]
[Erik] This isn't a tortoise
and a hare situation.
We gotta get a floor laid.
No! Oh, my gosh, are they gonna win?
-[Adair] Go, team!
-Are they done?
[Erik] Three, two, one!
-[horn blares]
-[Erik] Yeah!
[all cheering]
And it wasn't even close,
I'm not gonna lie.
The magnetic flooring went down in a snap.
It took us about an hour.
It's only about 60% to scale.
We're looking at maybe an hour and a half,
hour forty-five on the day of, which is
a giant time-saver.
[rock music playing]
We're gonna lay this as close as possible.
-Okay.
-And then I'll roll it out to you.
Whoo! Let's go.
This is mission critical, you guys.
No time to stop.
[Danielle] I got you.
This is my contribution.
'Cause it is hot,
I'm gonna bring y'all a fan.
-[Adair] Paige, be careful with the knife.
-I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm distracted.
[Danielle] Okay, y'all.
Well, y'all keep working.
I'm gonna see if I can get y'all a fan.
[both] Thank you.
[upbeat music playing]
[Erik] The moment of truth, eh?
There it is.
Rotate that two-by-four. It's gonna work,
so we're gonna be in good shape.
[Nick] Oh, boy.
Not good.
-Hey, Erik?
-Yo!
-[Nick] Rotted tree, right?
-Okay.
This wisteria, although beautiful,
is highly invasive
and has killed this tree.
And I am worried about this tree
coming down over the rest of the yard.
Yeah.
And it's just it's a hazard right now.
So I wanted to just
take the whole thing out.
But with the wisteria vines,
using a chainsaw on this
is gonna take hours.
-Okay. What do you need?
-I want to get this done now.
And I want you to bring in
an excavator to do it.
-[laughs] An excavator?
-Yeah.
[Erik] I mean, look, this is a time issue.
As it stands, leaning towards the yard,
anyone's in the yard, it's a safety issue.
There is more plant material here
at this house
than any of the other houses
we've done so far.
So the sooner this comes down,
the faster I can get to that.
-[Erik] I got you, buddy.
-All right. Thanks.
-[tense music playing]
-[Erik] I'm about to ask you a big favor.
-[man on phone] Let's hear it.
-I need an excavator on-site.
[man] I've got a mini ex on my site
right now digging some holes.
[Erik] No, I need a big one.
I need a big-boy toy right now.
I gotta take down a black cherry tree
that's covered in wisteria.
We need to get it done now
so that landscaping
can be done by the end of the day.
[man] All right, I'm gonna have
to make a call for that one.
I don't have anything on-site.
[upbeat music playing]
Do you think
you can get this done in an hour?
[sighs] Um, we're trying.
We're going as fast as we can.
Okay. Well, can I help?
Hold this. Then we're gonna get over here.
-Yeah. Mmm-hmm.
-You gotta lay it right up, bone to bone.
-No, no, no. You can't
-Oh, nope. Mmm-hmm.
Yeah. There we go.
-I wanna see if you can do it by yourself.
-Oh, the pressure!
[upbeat music continues]
You're hired.
Yay! I got hired by Adair!
Whoo!
-Ready for another one? There you go.
-Yeah. Okay.
[upbeat rock music playing]
I'm sweating my lashes off
working for Adair.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God ♪
[suspenseful music playing]
This is a freaking mud pit right now
and it's not safe.
But I wanna put some grass down here
because otherwise
it's gonna get completely eroded out.
What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna
start on the Bobcat and start grading.
But I am concerned about these trees.
I know we wanna remove 'em later,
but I think these root systems
are gonna be pretty strong.
So let me get in the Bobcat,
see how we do, then we'll get started.
-[Mike] Sounds good. Thanks.
-All right.
-[Adair] You got it?
-Yes.
Good.
So you're clearing this whole thing out
to make the ground flat.
Exactly. As flat as we can.
Actually, if you wanna give it a shot,
you can drive it.
If you want.
-Okay, yeah, let's do it.
-I think you should. All right.
-So, hop in.
-Okay.
Pull down that, uh,
roller coaster safety belt.
-This? Okay. Roller coaster Oh!
-Good. All right.
Oh, my God.
Oh, damn!
Oh!
Look at me go ♪
-[Nick] There you go! You got it!
-Look at me driving ♪
[Danielle shrieking]
[shrieking continues]
[Nick] Whoo!
I have made his job worse.
[Adair] Ooh, this is it. If we get it in.
[Paige] Oh, my
Stamp it in. Stamp it in.
[Adair] It's in, it's in, it's in!
-[Paige] Ahh!
-Whoo!
-[Adair] All right.
-Oh, my gosh.
[Adair] Okay. Look at our work.
["I'm A Psycho" by Clooney playing]
I got one loose screw
Better watch your back ♪
[Danielle] The floors are finally done,
but they took 30 minutes longer
than we planned.
So right now,
we're behind in every room in the house.
-This is the kitchen area.
-[Tami] Yes.
-This is supposed to be an island
-Big island.
with, um, the stove in it.
So we wanted the kitchen to be all white.
And maybe some cool shelving.
-Kind of like an open-kitchen type vibe.
-[Tami] We know we want subway tile.
We know the colors are white,
black, and green.
[Scott] Um, I envisioned
having these, like, floating shelves.
Having it done,
I mean, it would be a miracle.
[man] Twenty-five and a half.
Twenty-nine and three-eighths.
This is Ezekiel's room right here.
This was gonna be the nursery.
[Tami] I was super excited
'cause I thought that
we were gonna move before he was born.
So it was super disappointing.
But as he's getting older,
he just turned three years old,
um, it's time for him
to have his own room.
[upbeat music playing]
Oh, it looks so nice!
Isn't it gorgeous?
-This is a genius idea, I have to say.
-[Paige] I love it.
[Danielle] Hello!
Love, love, love that, Paige.
Really, I've never seen this done,
but it's so smart and witty.
So we are really going through
with the wallpaper.
For the sake of efficiency and speed,
we're gonna put them on these panels
so that on the day of, it takes us
anywhere from five to ten minutes
to get these up in the closet.
So we don't have to worry
about wallpapering on install day.
That makes a lot of sense,
because otherwise it would take
Hour and half depending
-[Paige] Days, weeks.
-Yes, exactly.
So what we're gonna do is we're gonna
flip this over, lay the adhesive down.
Then we're gonna give it
a little time to get tacky
before flipping it over
and adhering it to the board.
[upbeat music playing]
Wow, Paige. I love it.
My parents were house flippers,
and we moved around a lot.
So the one place in every house
that I was allowed to have was my closet.
I used to always
put up posters and wallpaper.
[Danielle] Oh, man!
So when I found out
that Ezekiel is getting his own room,
I really wanted to kind of add
a fun little nod to how I was raised
and my kind of strange
little upbringing, but
I love that. For my daughter,
I may have to do that in her room.
-Right?
-Yeah.
Exactly, now that Paige has introduced
this idea, I'm doing this in every closet.
Right! I love it!
[upbeat music playing]
So where y'all at?
[Erik] Uh
Things are happening.
-Nick?
-That does not sound too promising.
We're behind.
[tense music playing]
So I asked Erik
if he could call in an excavator.
-And that should be here at some point.
-[Erik] Soon-ish.
How much time is this setting us back?
All of this planting here
has not been done.
-Because I
-You haven't done any of this planting?
-[Nick] I've been focusing on grading.
-[Adair] What's happening?
Once we found out about the trees,
we had to put everything on pause
So it looks like
we're three hours pushed with planting.
There is a positive side to this, though.
Because if the excavator is here,
not only can it remove the trees,
but it can also help us potentially
dig the holes to plant the new ones,
which would then make up
for the time that we wasted.
[Danielle] All I know
is we got to get it done!
-It's a glass-half-full situation.
-[Adair] Not a lot of time.
[Danielle] Y'all better figure out
what T-A-M means,
because I know that y'all can do this.
-Right now. Team.
-Tam?
-[Nick] Yup.
-[Danielle] T-A-M. "Tam."
Did I spell "team" wrong?
Hey. "Tam" on three, y'all.
"Tam" on three.
[Nick] Tam!
-[Erik] One, two, three
-[all] Tam!
[Adair] Let's go.
[rock music playing]
-[Nick] Hey, Erik. Excavator's here.
-Yo.
Excellent.
[Danielle] Does he know
which tree he's going for?
He knows which tree.
We just need to make sure
that he knocks it down
in a way that it falls in this gap here.
Okay.
This right here is about to be major.
All you need to be ready to do
is say "timber." Okay? That is it.
-[Nick laughing] And run out of the way.
-[Danielle] And run out of the way!
-[Erik] Ooh!
-[Danielle] He's pulling the leaves down.
[Nick] That is what is called
an invasive species.
So what is the deal with wisteria?
So wisteria is a plant
that you love to look at.
It has these beautiful purple flowers
that trail down.
It can extend up to a mile
in their root system.
-[Danielle] Dang.
-A mile?
There are multiple yards that can have
the same wisteria plant with it.
[Erik] It's a bummer
it choked out that cherry tree.
-'Cause that's a nice tree.
-[tractor beeping]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, guys!
[tree cracking]
-[Erik] Shake it.
-Oh!
[Nick] Oh! There you go!
-Oh! You hear that crack?
-[Nick] Here it comes.
[Danielle] Years and years
that tree's been up.
-[Erik] Oh, my God.
-[Nick] Give it a push.
-[Danielle] Oh, my God!
-[Erik] Thing is about to hit this Bobcat.
[Danielle] Oh, my gosh.
[all] Timber!
[tree cracking]
[Erik] Whoa!
[Danielle] Oh!
-[cracking continues]
-[Danielle] Those cracks sound horrible.
It sounds likes somebody's back breaking.
[Nick] Look at these vines.
This is as big as any other branch.
-We need to still come in with a chainsaw.
-[Erik] We have to chop that up.
That was wild!
Oh, my gosh.
-[chainsaw whirring]
-[rock music playing]
-[Nick] Got it. We just gotta move faster.
-Yeah.
This was a good decision.
This is all rotted right here.
Good. Talk to the excavator operator.
Let's get this tree out.
If we're gonna take it out,
it has to be now.
[Danielle] That excavator is
making up a ton of time outside.
Inside, we're ahead in the bedrooms,
but a little behind in the kitchen.
No matter what, after four long years,
we're gonna finish this house in one day.
Our work keeps us super busy,
which is why so much time
elapsed with contractors
and us not really knowing
that they weren't working
or what wasn't happening.
[Scott] We do a lot of work
in the inner city of Atlanta.
We started a church 15 years ago
to help the poor and the marginalized.
[Tami] We work with the homeless,
we work with addicts,
we work with inmates.
Our work is really hard,
but it also brings a lot of hope
and encouragement to us.
[Scott] We have faith. We believe.
I think it's bigger than us.
I think this house is bigger than us.
[Tami] Every time there's a good story
from what we do,
it just helps us have perspective,
and it helps us have a bigger picture
of what it all means.
And it just makes
some of our other problems not so big.
-[rock music playing]
-[Danielle exclaims]
I think I got the hang of this now.
[Nick] Erik, we got a big one right here.
Oh, my gosh. The kitchen is
gonna look so incredibly insane.
And then the metal cabinets
aren't even in yet.
These are my cabinets, right?
-[Erik] Yeah.
-These are the uppers.
I'm loving the way this is looking.
I'm welding the frame for the door.
I mean, come on.
-[Adair] It's pretty sick.
-It's gonna be beautiful.
But don't kill me.
I don't like that start. I was pretty
happy with where this was going.
[laughing] All right, this is my idea.
Okay, those aren't wooden cabinets.
These, my friend,
are cabinets completely made of metal.
Dude, I've already
got these cabinets done.
You don't think
it's gonna look so much better?
[Erik] I do think it's gonna look better,
but I've already got
a lot on my plate for this build,
and if we're gonna
make these cabinets happen,
then you need to trade something out.
I'll give you the cabinets
if we nix the fireplace.
No! Erik.
We can't get rid of the rails
for the staircase or for the deck.
Where else do you suggest
that we take away some of this metal work?
All right, so if I give you
the fireplace and get rid of that,
you can make this happen?
You're lucky I like you, buddy.
-So I'm getting my cabinets.
-I'm gonna get back to work.
-I'm getting my cabinets?
-Get out of here.
Yes!
[Erik] Y'all ready? Here we go.
Yes, look at that.
-[Erik] All right, how we look? Look okay?
-It's beautiful.
[Erik] Come on, baby. Get in there.
-You good?
-[Adair] Oh, no! You're not good.
It's not exactly the lightest cabinet.
-Remember, it's made out of steel.
-[Adair] I mean
We gotta get this right,
'cause if it falls, that's it.
[Erik] There's only one shot.
[tense music playing]
-[drill whirring]
-Let me see it closed.
Gorgeous. Gorgeous.
It's just so
-Ah!
-[Erik] Look, it was a good decision.
-It looks really nice.
-Right?
I will say, having the see-through up here
bringing that light in,
it really does open up the place.
[rock music playing]
[Danielle] Bookshelf going in.
-They're getting their workout on today.
-Good thing I didn't do legs today.
All right, set it down. Relax.
What you doing, gangster?
[Erik] Gonna line it up
to the back right here, like this.
[intriguing music playing]
So let's tilt it up
and we'll put the bottom in first.
-Just like that. Beautiful.
-[Adair] Okay.
I love that we get that farmhouse
but industrial aesthetic
and vibe throughout the whole project.
It's gonna work really nice.
Now, come around back.
Oh, my God. What else? What else?
-I want you to grab this corner.
-Okay.
And just, nice and slowly,
just come up at a 45-degree.
Make sure the sheet doesn't tear.
Beautiful.
You wanted that open back,
all that light coming through,
you wanted to be able
to see down into the staircase.
Whoo!
Like, there's so much to do here
and being able to see back and forth.
Can you imagine going down the staircase
and looking at these things happening?
Good. Keep it coming.
-You can see right through it.
-Yes.
We did that because you want all the light
that's coming in from this window
to shine right through here.
Makes the space feel much larger.
-Isn't it gorgeous?
-[Danielle] Oh, it's beautiful.
-Do you want one for your house?
-Yes, I do.
We can do one like this for your house.
I want it.
But can I get it free ninety-nine?
-If we're doin' it, it's gonna be free.
-Okay, fair.
-What do you think, buddy?
-I love it. It's gorgeous.
You guys, we got three hours left.
Ugh. Yeah, we gotta move.
[upbeat music playing]
They'll have a desk over here,
we'll have a desk over here.
[Paige] I'll start working on these.
[upbeat music continues]
-Dude, great news. The trees are here.
-Yeah.
-[Erik] They're here?
-Yeah, they're here and they're huge.
-Fourteen-footers have a 40-inch diameter.
-Okay.
I need you to dig
some huge holes right now.
I don't know where our guy is.
[laughs] I need it now.
I need a hole at least 60-inches wide.
Okay, we'll figure it out. Keys are in it.
[dramatic music playing]
-[Erik] Big-boy toy.
-[Nick] Direct hit.
Attaboy.
Oh, yeah. I could get used to this.
["The Dark Side of Love"
by Red Means Run playing]
-[Erik] Nick, you all right, buddy?
-We need dirt.
Start shoveling so it doesn't tip.
-[Erik] There you go.
-[Nick] Whoa, whoa, whoa! Easy.
-[Erik] A little heavy.
-[laughs]
-[Erik] Just a little bit more.
-Right there is probably good.
["The Dark Side of Love"
continues playing]
[Nick] Wow.
That's a true professional right there.
Seven pallets of sod
need to go down in this yard.
-[Paige] Okay.
-Keep it coming. All right, let's go.
[Adair] Thank you.
[upbeat music playing]
[Nick] Start throwing them down.
Start piecing them together.
Like a jigsaw puzzle.
[Paige] Sounds good. Let's do it.
Ooh, my gosh.
That I did not see coming,
both literally and figuratively.
[upbeat music continues]
[Nick] Ahh!
My knee's not good for that.
I don't think ever in my life
I anticipated saying,
"Can someone sharpen my machete?",
and be serious.
[intense music playing]
[man] Okay.
[tense music playing]
Oh, boy.
I wanna make sure we can lay these out.
The faster we lay them out
in the right order,
-the easier to cut them out of the sod.
-[Paige] Okay.
[tense music continues]
Hey, Mike, can we get
a couple guys over with the flagstone?
Flagstone coming through. Phew.
[Mike] Right up next to the step,
that'd be awesome.
-[Erik] Yeah.
-[Danielle exclaims]
-[Paige] Hi, Danielle.
-How can I help you?
We gotta get everything cut in now.
-[Paige] Okay.
-[Danielle] Let's go.
-Team, I can't lift this.
-[Paige] Me either.
[Danielle] I wasn't prepared.
-You got it?
-[Danielle] I'll try.
All right. Use your core.
[straining] Oh, Lord Jesus
God is good ♪
[laughs] Oopsie!
I might have caused a problem.
-Did you just crack one too?
-No, I didn't.
-Danielle.
-[suspenseful music playing]
Oh, my God.
I think we should go work on the interior.
I'm going away.
[intense music playing]
-We don't have a lot of time.
-[Danielle] I know. How can I help?
-Um, can you help me with this bed?
-Yes.
-Okay. Okay, a bed.
-We gotta be really careful with it.
-Okay, ready?
-We're going right into Ezekiel's room.
-[Danielle] We're moving this way.
-I hope it fits, though.
-[Danielle] You have room.
-No, I don't have it.
-[Danielle] I have room.
-What you need to do is reverse that.
-Okay.
-What did I sign up for?
We're moving the bed for Ezekiel ♪
Yes ♪
This is for Scott.
We're moving the bed for your son.
We're gonna make sure he has a room.
We're gonna make sure
[Adair] We need to go the other way.
Let's flip it this way.
-Careful, be careful. Perfect.
-Oh, okay.
[Adair] They are never moving.
Oh, my God ♪
-We are almost there ♪
-[Adair] We're almost there, you guys.
[phone ringing]
[Danielle] Hey. Hey, Megan?
Um, what's going on?
[Megan] Well, I'm calling
to let you know that Scott and Tami
just pulled out of the parking lot.
[Danielle] Okay, okay, uh
Well, how long does that take?
Like, how long
do you think they'll be here?
[Megan] It's gonna be
30 minutes with traffic.
-Thirty? Oof!
-Make sure they're ready.
-All right? See you then.
-All right.
-Cool, cool, cool. I'm okay with that.
-Erik.
That was Megan, our accomplice.
She's coming in 30 minutes.
-Thirty minutes? All right.
-Thirty minutes.
Thirty minutes, everybody!
[tense music playing]
Right inside here.
Dude. We gotta move, man.
[tense music continues]
-[Nick] Paige, this is taking forever.
-I know.
[Nick] Are you done with one?
'Cause I'm not even halfway done.
I'm pulling out the sod for one right now.
I don't know if I wanna go see
this contractor today.
I have hope. I'm just afraid to,
like, trust the wrong person.
[dramatic music playing]
[Erik] A broom would be good.
A broom would be excellent. Broom me.
Ooh, ooh, ooh. Careful.
All right, you guys, this is it!
We have to hurry!
[Paige] They literally
could pull up in ten minutes.
[Erik] This damn porch is covered in mud.
We've gone with people we've known,
and they've disappointed us,
and they've broken, like, our trust.
And so now we don't have a choice
but to go with people we don't know.
[dramatic music continues]
We got, like, seconds.
[Danielle] Guys, seriously,
I need you out of the yard.
-[Nick] Yeah, we're coming.
-[Danielle] Like right now.
-Erik.
-Yo.
Finish up!
Now, guys! Everybody, this is it!
This is it! Guys, move!
[yelling] Get out of here!
Get out of here!
Get out! I'm, like, serious. Okay, guys.
-[Paige] We're almost done!
-[Nick] Looks good on this side.
What?
[laughing] Oh, my God.
[Danielle] Okay, guys, seriously.
Oh, my God. Hi! Give me one second.
-Oh, my gosh. Go. Leave.
-[Paige] Okay, ready?
Ugh! Do you see the car?
-[laughing]
-[Danielle] Get! Get out! Come on!
-[Scott] Oh, my God.
-Oh, this is crazy.
[laughing] Guys! Erik, get off the porch!
Oh, my God! Go, go, go!
Wait. Go. Get out of here.
[Tami laughing]
-[Scott] Oh, my God.
-[Tami] Oh, this is crazy.
-Where is all the dirt and all the trash?
-[Danielle] Adair!
-You are the last one! I'm so sorry.
-[Paige] Come on, Adair!
Hi. Hello. Come in.
Come in, come in, come in.
Please don't hit me.
Oh, my God!
Hello!
-[squealing]
-[Tami laughing]
Oh, my God.
Hello!
Scott! Hi, Tami!
Come on out! I know, I'm a lot.
It's a lot of energy.
It's a lot of feelings right now.
-[Tami] Oh, my God!
-[Scott] Wow.
[softly] Wow. You don't even know.
-It's real!
-[laughing]
Y'all hug each other. I want a hug.
I'm not givin' up ♪
-Never givin' up ♪
-[Tami sniffling]
The first thing we said was, like,
"Where's all the trash and the dirt?"
-"And the clay, and the mud, and the"
-[Danielle] It's gone! It's gone!
Come with me
on your new paved way to your house.
-[stifling tears] Landscaping, who knew?
-[Danielle] There's grass!
[Scott] I definitely felt overwhelmed.
And so it was a celebration,
but it was a celebration of, like,
"I don't even know
what to feel right now."
But I knew it was good.
-Wow. I don't even know what to say.
-[Tami laughs] I know.
[Danielle] Take it in.
-Take it in.
-[Tami crying] I know.
It doesn't seem real.
[sniffling] It doesn't seem real at all.
[crying] I was just so grateful, and I
couldn't believe that it really happened.
Finally.
It took a while
to believe that it was real.
I'm so happy for you all.
When we went in the house
for the first time,
I just felt like God was like,
"This is your house," you know?
-And it was broke down, and it was ugly.
-[Tami] Yeah.
[Scott] But, like, honestly,
standing here today, like
You know, it was four years in the making.
Like, this makes it all worth it.
Seeing this the way it is right now.
Yeah, like, for a reason, I guess.
[laughs]
It's actually disbelief.
I don't even believe this is my house.
This is what I was envisioning,
this is what I'm dreaming of.
You've done so much for the community,
and for the people in your life,
for your family, your son.
This is for you,
because you're deserving of this moment.
[Scott] Thank you so much.
Thank y'all.
Like, I'm beyond words.
I'm never stuck for words,
but I can't even
-[Tami laughs]
-Yeah.
Well, no further ado.
It is time to let you all
go into your new home!
-It's showtime! Go in!
-[Scott] Go in?
-All the way in?
-All the way in!
-[Scott] You ready?
-[Tami] No, I'm not ready. I'm nervous.
[Scott] Man.
-[laughing] Oh, my God.
-Wow.
["Diamonds From Dust"

-Now we're makin' diamonds from dust ♪
-[Tami] What?
When I walked in, I couldn't believe
And I was like,
"Oh, my God, it's real. It's my house."
-Wow.
-[gasps] Oh, my God.
Now we're makin' diamonds from dust ♪
-[Scott] Wow.
-[Tami laughing] It doesn't even look
-[Scott] This looks amazing.
-Oh, my God.
Every time that we had gone
to the house before,
there wasn't any lights or anything.
It was just bare construction.
So it felt so warm.
You know? It was like [exclaims]
Like a picture,
but you're walking in the picture.
-[Scott] Come on in. How you doing?
-[Danielle] Hello.
I'm great!
"How are you doing?" is the real question.
It's amazing. Like, it's
I'm speechless.
It's so open, right? And grand.
And this kitchen! Oh, my gosh.
[Scott] Yeah. The kitchen feels amazing.
["Sky High Love" by The Aftermath playing]
Wow.
[Scott] This is crazy.
Little by little, I noticed
that there was, like, a dining room,
and then the kitchen was all done.
The kitchen was out of nowhere.
There was nothing there.
So there was, like, an island,
and backsplash, and a sink.
I mean, we didn't have sinks.
We didn't have anything.
A nice island like this,
we can sit down and eat as a family.
This looks amazing.
-[Tami] So cute.
-I just noticed the floors.
The floor is amazing. And this.
[Danielle] Right?
Who has this in their house?
-Scott and Tami!
-[Scott] I love I love this.
-Oh, wow!
-[Scott] Dang.
-I love that.
-[Tami laughing]
[triumphant music playing]
[Tami] Yes!
We have a new bed. Yes.
[Scott] Wow.
This is amazing.
[Tami] It's fancy.
[Scott] When I saw the TV,
I thought about me and my wife
laying in bed at night
with no Zeke in the room,
watching movies and watching TV.
You know, it was like,
I mean, this is our bedroom.
This is space for me and my wife.
This is beautiful.
I know. Look at this.
With the gold accent.
[Danielle] Can we talk
about this living room?
[Tami] That's a vibe.
[Scott] Dang.
[uplifting music playing]
-Oh, they kept your wood that you wanted.
-[Scott] Dang.
Yes.
[Danielle] You know why
I love this picture? I'm a mom as well.
And I know, like,
one of the most exciting parts
about being a mom is,
like, getting to put together a nursery
and all of these things.
And you did not get that opportunity.
But I know for one thing God might not
always give you what you want,
but he always gives you what you need.
-[Scott] Thank y'all.
-Oh, no.
-[Scott] God used you guys. You know?
-Aw.
And now we have Zeke a whole room
that I am so ready to show you.
I would love to see it.
-[Danielle] Zeke.
-[Scott and Danielle] Wanna see your room?
-[Tami exclaims] Ezekiel.
-[Scott] Look at this!
[Tami] Look at here.
[upbeat music playing]
[Tami] And they got the dinosaurs.
[Scott] Wow.
[Tami] Look at this.
[gasps] And the rugs.
Yeah.
[Scott] Zeke's room.
And I [voice breaking]
-That's what hit me the most.
-[soft music playing]
My son having a bed, and a room,
and a closet.
And they had clothes
hanging in the closet.
You have a bed. Your first bed. [gasps]
[Scott] And I finally felt that
that relief of, you know, like, my son
don't have to sleep on the floor no more.
It is unexplainable, honestly,
just the joy that came upon us.
[Danielle] This is our beautiful team.
[all greeting]
-[Tami] Thank you.
-[Adair] Oh, please.
-[Paige] Oh, my gosh.
-[Danielle] Erik.
-[Scott] Thank you.
-[Paige] Lovely to meet you.
It's really an answer to prayer.
This is who did Zeke's room.
-Yeah. I'm so excited. Do you like it?
-[Tami] Thank you. Yeah.
Even the 200-something people
that came and worked on our house,
they are a godsend to me and my family.
[Danielle] Y'all, it's time.
We gotta bounce. Time for us
to go and tackle another house.
It's time to go already?
-Let me say bye. Bye, Tami.
-[Tami] Appreciate it.
[Scott] Four years of blood, sweat,
tears, disappointment, hardship,
getting things done out the mud literally.
It was an end to all of that.
I didn't wanna leave the family.
They're so beautiful and so deserving.
Four years of trying
to get this house done!
-And we got it done in a day.
-[Paige] Bye, guys.
It's who we are ♪
It's every day ♪
[Scott] It was just above and beyond,
like, what we could have ever expected.
Like, you know,
we just wanted the house done.
It was like walking
into a little bit of heaven.
A shooting star ♪
All the emotion that we felt
was just that, like,
"Oh, wow, like, someone actually, like,
thought about us and helped us."
And I just was really grateful
for everyone who did that
and who really, like,
gave us, like, this closure in this
um, chapter that we've been living
that's just been dragged on for so long.
I just believe that there is a hope
and a future for this house.
So, God is good like that.
