Ep. 1 Adventures In Real Estate: We bought a brand new condo but moved into this Sh**hole instead

Be prepared for anything as the Talbot’s attempt to drag their 1.8 million dollar 1940’s home into this century.
Todd Talbot goes back to his ‘Love It Or List It’ days and takes you on a house tour to show the way it looks before the renovation. Todd’s wife Rabecca madly cleans up so that the camera doesn’t see how messy they actually are :) She also sings the opening song to put us all in the mood. It’s just the beginning of this home makeover in Vancouver Canada that will be the future home of the Talbot’s. That’s the plan anyway… Thanks for watching Adventures in Real Estate!!

This is our first episode and we’d love to hear what you think and what you’d like to see as we build throughout the year. Let us know!!

[@christinebaerg4736]

I love it!! We did the same thing 7 years ago. Raised the house 3 feet, also used Zebaik. It took a year and we love it.

[@sherid7506]

Love how personal it is ❤

[@deborahjames-sabo740]

It's pronounced "octagonal," obviously😁. So exciting!! I am really looking forward to following you as you renovate your forever home.

Hey Todd & Rebecca,I watched the video too. The video was quite interesting. Look forward to another video.

[@sharonbirkett]

We builder a house together, mostly my husband because I was 5 months pregnant. It was a journey with many ups and downs and our marriage survived. 41 years together and holding.

[@talbotlife]

41 years!!

[@suzie1482]

Nice! Cute & cozy place, with charm, and architectural features. Love your first video, good luck! I’ll be watching.😊

[@ksiggs]

Love bloopers - they're always fun to watch! Loved watching Todd in Love it or List it - but the pair of you together is so much more fun, real and honest. Rebecca has a great laugh! Would totally tune in to this as a show on HGTV or the like. Looking forward to watching your progress!

[@talbotlife]

Maybe we pivot to @hgtv but we are loving the process here and having fun doing it ourselves with Peter Aziz! Lots of work though. Love it or list it was a cake walk compared to this.

[@yellowtabletales4128]

Stop yelling in your little jokester argument. lol . I’m watching to share in your joyful journey! ❤ Greetings from Canada! 🇨🇦

[@debbiereisetter8986]

Yay! So excited to see this new adventure of yours. Love the outtakes at the end. 😂

[@talbotlife]

Thank you!

[@judithcoe7551]

I hope you can renovate the basement and put a toilet and sink down there. The kids need their own rooms for boy and girl and privacy. Then you guys need your own room with space.

[@pamworlin6042]

I enjoyed the first episode and look forward to the rest of them!

[@kellilangvo]

Wow nice to see you again on screen…

[@talbotlife]

More to come!

[@lindaknight-archer414]

I really liked your humour on Love It or List It Vancouver, so I am really looking forward to this show!

[@talbotlife]

I’ll try and be funny but the stakes are higher here!!

[@user-vs2dy9li9o]

Really enjoyed this guys! Love the format and the humour. Please keep us updated - we're cheering you on!

[@talbotlife]

Thank you! Will do!

[@bonniejames3529]

You guys are too cute. Loved watching the first episode and can't wait to see more and follow the journey. Love the bloopers! I was giggling at the crow and the hammering. Great job guys! Oh and Rabecca I loved the opening song!

[@talbotlife]

Thanks so much!!

Thanks for checking us out and following along.

[@user-lo6me1nf2s]

Oh my god! The shrieking at 4:15 😳

[@SimonChambers]

The window is ocTAGonal- Todd is correct :). Love the house! I live in a 1920s house in Toronto, and like Todd I keep many of my clothes in the basement. I also work from home in our storage room, so I feel that reality :). I love the details of the house, and I look forward to seeing how you update the house but also keep the details that attracted you to the home in the first place. Thank you for taking us along on this journey! I really like how you're making it feel like we are sitting with you as friends, rather than as a TV show as it were. A great first video!

[@talbotlife]

Remember, Todd is always right!! 😂

[@user-cs3nr1mb9t]

Love this and I’m really looking forward to more episodes. Your easy humor and love for each other is wonderful…I think a network should pick this up!! Just putting that out there into the universe!! 🤗

[@talbotlife]

Always a good idea 👍🏻

[@sandragay1324]

lol I’m with you Rebecca. My husband would do the same thing

[@jefarii]

Cozy! We live with our kids in 1940s bungalow with similar quirks and archways near Slocan and 27th. Looking forward to watching your family's journey.🎉. And no storage space for the 2024 lifestyle in ours either!😂

[@JoyceRostron]

You bungalow renovation journey will be interesting to watch. The EP. 1 was fun to watch. We had the exact same flooring for the kitchen in our little 1954 house! Similar footprint and arched doorways throughout. Haha.

[@talbotlife]

Thanks for watching!

[@tanahendricks4546]

Loved this first episode and look forward to seeing more. You guys are so funny!

I bet the marriage counsellor is on speed dial.

[@talbotlife]

Our therapist Mary is the best.

[@juliewu3885]

We want to do the same with our 1950s house so can't wait to learn from your journey! You guys are hilarious haha. Thanks for keeping it real 😂😂😂

[@talbotlife]

Hopefully we will show you what not to do and maybe a few things to do!

[@bradscott5537]

Looking forward to following along! Looks like a great project

[@sandihunter1260]

As usual you guys are the best. So nice to see Rebecca, will we see the kids also?

[@talbotlife]

Potentially but they are tough to wrangle nowadays

[@J_L970]

Maybe just in this house, it's an 'Oc-toe-gone-al' window (sorry Todd 😏). I'm happily following along to see how you blend the old with new. I do hope some of the old details survive 🤞🏼

[@talbotlife]

We shall see!

[@karenweidauer6861]
