And you cut all the trees on the backyard to put plastic??? wow

[@saraht3196]

loling at terf being environmentally friendly. yes, it requires no water or gas mowing which is awesome. but the plastic pellets get washed away in the rain and it produces a crap ton of heat. also fascinated by the black exterior with texas summers lmao. glad there’s wood breaking it up. overall like the flip but there are a few…interesting choices haha

[@trinityphar7382]

a clover yard would be the perfect option to keep the fresh green yard and be environmentally friendly

[@tarabIe]

I know there were layout restraints due to existing plumbing but walking into a kitchen is no bueno, even if it’s beautiful and a great size. I feel like the living area was too small and the master bathroom too big. Also, why such small niches in that massive shower?! The material choices throughout were top notch though.

[@neko2412neko]

Yes, thought the same! The dimensions are a bit of! The living room is quite small, the laundry room as well, also no mud room, the master too big in total, and an exess to the yard out of a common space and not though a bedroom is missing...

[@nickpadilla5073]

Overall it's fantastic but I don't like the giant shower. It should have been a normal sized shower and a freestanding bathtub.

Can you even put a BBQ on astroturf?🤔

[@jeanettekakareka]

And the office?

[@angelabacker1177]

I used to love your projects but I really don't care for this one. The living space is too small but the primary bathroom could double as a ballroom! It's going to be hard to clean that expanse of shower doors too. The back yard could have been a great selling point but is so stark with a hideous view of the charred siding. I would be interested to know if the house sells for the asking price.

[@Itcouldallbesosimple45]

Yeah I would feel weird and perhaps vulnerable in a shower that big, with a window that low. What do I know?

[@shirleymurphy1958]

Not a big fan of this rebuild. I noticed others see the short falls also .

[@paulabeck81]

Wondering why the front door is not covered? What about packages or guests when Austin is getting a big rainstorm? Also, the plastic grass looks cheap and the shower is way to big! Was there a linen closet in the primary bath? Why not show the primary bedroom with a king size bed?

[@dorisschneider-coutandin9965]

Agreeing on most of your points made. I always cringe when I see a quite spacious bedroom featuring a not so big bed. Why? Artificial grass does nothing for the environment, no insect life going on. Bees are desperately needed for all of us. Another point would be that there are only fixed showerheads in all the showers you showed, what about handheld showerheads, which are super practical when you have to shower or bathe children? Or you might want to take a shower but not wet your hair necessarily? And - I know this now is complaining on a high level - for really trendy, modern homes go for wall mounted toilets. Much easier to clean (no rim around the floor), and they might also need less water to flush.

[@beccamajor2951]

Are the only access points to the backyard through the master and secondary bedroom/office because that seems weird.

[@cs2181]

that's what I was thinking too. The layout isn't very good.

[@territ1231]

375,000!!!! The neighbors love you so much!! Why such a big shower. Kind of a waste of space. More storage could have been made. No coat closet when you come in.

[@arvillawolfe6770]

I coming to say the same thing. No coat closet or pantry (unless I missed a door somewhere).

[@PrimasJewell]

That’s what I was thinking. The big shower looks good but it’s not practical. Taking some of that to make a linen closet in the bathroom would’ve been a better use of space. Now these people have no where to keep towels, toilet paper, etc.

[@Itcouldallbesosimple45]

Also that much money for a 1 car garage.

[@melissaclish1475]

I love watching what you guys do. I live in Australia and I find it really interesting to note the difference in which component’s are important to you as apposed to here. We place a lot more Importance on the yard and usually a renovation would include some sort of covered outdoor area, usually off the living area, enhancing the amount of usable space. We would of used that old boat as part of the landscaping either as outdoor play equipment or maybe just planted pretty flowers in it. Of course everyone is a critic and I realise that we don’t know what your limitations are, both financial and with local council laws. Needless to say I love your clips, love what you do and congratulations on the new baby.❤

[@ladylib814]

Beautiful job on the house, as always, but I liked the old backyard better! Just a big, empty expanse now. With plastic grass, lol.

[@chellejack3480]

You're flip turned out great. I think the shower is too big for the size of the bathroom though. There could have been a nice linen closet put in there instead. Also, the turf doesn't really bother me. But, 875k for a house in a dumpy neighborhood??? People buy for location. You never want to have the most expensive house on the street. I hope you get your asking price.

[@debby8428]

100% agree

[@almudenablanch2667]

The exterior looks great but I don't like the layout, it would be better if the kitchen or living room had direct access to the back garden. Perhaps having placed the sleeping areas on one side and leaving the “public” area on the other to have access to the back garden.

[@miotkefosheezy]

Going from that beautiful clover lawn to plastic turf is a crime 😂 Every thing else is phenomenal 😄

[@liene4619]

Nice! I have a question though. Why don't you ever put baths in these houses? For example, in this house, a bath would've been perfect in the master suite bathroom.

[@chellejack3480]

A lot of younger buyers would rather have a big shower than a bathtub. We have a huge bathtub in our master bath and I never use it. We are seniors and it's too hard to get in and out of, so it's pretty much just there for looks, or the next buyer that buys our house.

[@Stressless2023]

Because the majority of the younger generation don't take "baths" anymore 🤢

[@mola.s]

The younger generation also has children though, and I don't know who is bathing their kids in the shower. It's just not practical.

[@laurenw1339]

Hmm not loving it. Is the only access to the backyard through the bedrooms? And 3 bedrooms with a small living space. And no storage!! Where do you put jackets and shoes?

[@PnoMonies]

Great flip! And it’s crazy how you see his before and after weight loss all in 1 video

[@thekirksiffs5285]

I guess he lost the baby weight gained during pregnancy? He said several times that he had "just had a baby".

[@makeit2649]

I agree with all the other comments about the weird layout choices, especially the lack of direct access to the back yard. And who is going to pay $875k for a house with a one-car garage?? A small issue but one that makes a difference is not putting handles on the cabinet doors under the island. Those cabinets should have push-to-open latches so no one bashes their knees on the cabinet handles. Come on guys, you can do so much better.

[@essgee621]

The house is beautiful but I definitely have some qualms about the layout: - The only Inside to backyard access is through a bedroom which is kind of weird. I think taking out the master closet to create a hallway would have worked better - Ditching the courtyard completely and swapping that for indoor space that in some way could have connected the rooms on either side of the house would have been helpful since the OG bedrooms feel like they're part of a completely different wing and having to loop the common areas to get to the other rooms is a little strange. - I think I would have swapped the living and kitchen areas for a bigger living room and a kitchen that feels more connected to the dining, but I see the reasoning for not doing that to keep the plumbing in the same area - Making the bathroom in the addition area accessible from the hall and the bedroom didn't really make sense. There's already a bathroom accessible for guests so why not commit fully to making that an on suite. - Taking out the random courtyard moment, putting the primary slider facing the backyard just feels better. Also with the courtyard you now have 2 bedrooms with doors and windows directly facing each other which doesn't feel right imo - I think taking out the courtyard and second closet in the primary would fix a lot a issues and just readjusting the space planning with that consideration (smaller bathroom, larger single closer)

[@essgee621]

Ok I sat on this for a second and realized that the reason for the strange courtyard was to give the inner original bedroom a window so I think this would have been a better idea: - Take the courtyard area and the bedroom area of the master and make that a secondary bedroom (in this scenario the addition would match the existing house instead of bumping in and you'd have your bedroom as well as a hallway going directly to the backyard + maybe a little mudroom/storage area) - Make a hallway behind the central bathroom to connect the left and right wings of the house - End the long hallway after the entrance to the new bedroom that isn't the master - Take the old secondary bedroom and make that space the master closet - Use the remaining existing master suite space as the new master bedroom/bath.

[@yesabenson]

Wow! What a transformation! Love the exterior siding!

[@jjmorrie]

You two used to be more inspired: the layout is weird: giant shower but little living room, no entrance hall.Most of all it's not for nature friendly people: the jungle is now a plastic carpet and the back garden a little nook with gravel

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

And that weird corridor between the old side and the new side? They said they couldn't wait to see that homeowners hanging out in that area? That's not gonna be a functional area. That plastic grass; how is that eco-friendly? It's just gonna break down add plastic to the environment as it breaks down and then it'll have to be replaced. Why didn't they just do other kinds of landscaping?

[@cs2181]

So many good points made here!

[@dianajemison105]

I agree. Most of the decisions made get a 👎 from me.

[@jacobrowe4827]

The astroturf isn't really a good idea, some multch and some native plants would have been cheaper and easier. The kitchen is way too high for the house and having the hallway come from the middle of the kitchen is kind of strange. I really appreciate you guys making homes that are not suitable for the needs of a person today however I feel with a little more consideration you could have gotten a much more refined result

[@nightbender9250]

I agree. The main issue is the living room which is so tiny compared to the rest of the houses layout. Maybe the staging should’ve done a better job visualizing the living room area.

[@heathersmith8549]

This looks amazing. I love the new siding. The yard was so big, it just makes sense to add an addition. The interior floor plan and finishes are beautiful.

Do you tend to do well when your flip is the classiest property in the area? The house is sleek and grand, but that church across, the less desirable properties next to, and that corrugated something behind, are not the context it deserves.

[@lornahardin4563]

I love the makeover, but think I would not like a giant shower big enough for the whole family, I would rather like a floor to ceiling storage/ linen area and a shower. A couple trees replanted in the back yard would be nice for AZ summers and maybe a roof over the patio area. Nice choice on hardware and cabinets.

[@KCKR710]

[@fennecstrauss]

I really like the shower tiles in this remodel, and the siding was lovely. That little courtyard, ugh 💘 The only thing I found surprising was how little colour you used in the living room/kitchen/dining area staging. It seemed strangely washed out compared to what you normally do. Otherwise, great job 👏 Thank you for sharing

I love the modern facade. That was a huge success. I kindda wish the interiors reflected more of that same finish. The kitchen could have been a more modern black & wood combination as well because the shaker cabinets didn’t really echo the Architectural theme. And that Primary bath is just over the top! You could have added a freestanding tub at least.. Overall still a great transformation! ❤

[@kathleengarness1660]

Not a fan at all of the plastic turf - better to leave it gravel and let homeowners decide landscaping preferences. Interior narrow hallways feel claustrophobic. Needs an entry closet. Are there linen closets for the bedrooms/bathrooms? Where is the access to the back yard - I missed that. Was that just off one of the bathrooms? I might have been more selective about tree removal. Congratulations on navigating a huge challenge.

[@ElicBehexan]

From the looks of the Before, I suspect the previous owners had owned it for decades. They chose to buy recreation rather than home improvement. The house might've even been owned by one of the previous owners parents. My parents bought a house in 1976 which was 3 bed 2 bath. It was snug and after Dad passed in 1984 my mother filled all the closets with her clothes. She had one that was for winter, one for summer and one for nicer stuff. The closets weren't overly small, but not huge either. In the early 1980s bump out the kitchen, which had previously been a galley sort and brought the laundry from carport entry to inside. In 1999 I added a second bath to my house, knocking out and adding basically what amounted to a second kitchen to the back of the house. I have lived with the addition longer now than before and it always seems to me to still be new.

[@sherrytaylor5046]

@27:01 I would have put giant sliding or French doors in place of the window on the left, or both, to give you access to the backyard and more light. It's a bad design if the only access points to the backyard is the primary suite, secondary bedroom, and going out front and through the side gate.

I like many things about this, but the rooms don't seem balanced. Such a huge shower yet no tub? There isn't enough common space or storage. The entry displays everything in the kitchen, living , and dining areas immediately. Its going to be hard to keep it tidy. You can only access the astroturf (!) yard through bedrooms. I can't believe you're talking up ASTROTURF after ripping the entire yard up!! Why didn't you just concrete the entire lot at that point since its ruined.

[@samwyz69]

Nice flip, looks much brighter than before. Needs back yard access without bedroom interference. Too modern for my taste though.

[@risa0659]

I hate that my potentially first comment on one of your flips is a mostly negative one, but here goes. The house was 65 years old and very small, so how was it worth $375,000? I understand the housing market is extremely over-inflated at the moment, but still. I like the contrast of the two materials on the front of the house. Why not carry that over to the back instead of all black? The kitchen is too much white. Could have done with a bit of color, even if only on the bottom of the island. No pantry. No coat closet anywhere in the house. No linen closets anywhere. I get the double shower in the master, but not using two rain heads. The shampoo nooks could have been a bit larger to accommodate more than just a bottle of shampoo and conditioner. Should have been a shower/tub combo in at least one of the other bathrooms for bathing children. I'm sorry for all the negativity, but these are things you learn with age, and living in many homes. I'm old!

Is Lincoln part Vulcan, Romulan, or Elf? His ears look slightly pointed in some of the video. (Asking for a friend. Nah! I want to know). P.S. I remember when my late husband's grandmother died about 20 years ago. Grandmother Cook had a 2 bed/1 bathroom house on Quarry Rd off of Enfield Rd and the MoPac. It sold for around $225,000 to $250,000 back then. I shudder to think what it would sell for now. I think it was 800 to 900 sq.ft. total.
