Insane Pools Off the Deep End (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Mountain Lodge Oasis - full transcript
The Lucas Lagoons crew faces the unique challenge of building a Rocky Mountain-style lagoon for a family living in the Florida wetlands. Lucas quickly learns his clients will be supervising him along the way as he creates the pool of their dreams.
I'M LUCAS CONGDON,
OWNER OF LUCAS LAGOONS,
AND WE'RE REVOLUTIONIZING
OUTDOOR LIVING
ONE BACKYARD AT A TIME.
MY GOAL IS TO CREATE
A JAW-DROPPING,
OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD
PARADISE.
[ SAW WHIRRING ]
OH, ****!
AGH!
A LUCAS LAGOONS PROJECT ISN'T
JUST A POOL, IT'S AN EXPERIENCE.
COME ON OUT.
THIS IS INCREDIBLE. WOW.
I WANNA CRY.
IT'S, LIKE, BEAUTIFUL.
OH, MY GOD.
I HOPE YOU'RE CRYING WITH JOY.
YES.
MY JOB IS TO TAKE THEIR DREAMS
AND MAKE THEM BIGGER
THAN THEY COULD EVER IMAGINE.
IT'S ALWAYS A WILD RIDE
WITH LUCAS LAGOONS.
CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS
SO I'M GOING TO MEET
THE PANKIWS, TERRY AND CYNTHIA.
THEY'RE FROM CANADA.
THEY LIVE ON SNEAD ISLAND.
IT'S LOCATED ON
THE WEST COAST OF FLORIDA,
JUST SOUTH OF TAMPA BAY.
THEY WANT ME TO CHANGE OUT
THE DECK AND ADD A SPA,
BUT I HAVE A FEELING THAT
IT'S GONNA BE MORE THAN THAT.
IT ALWAYS IS.
I'M TERRY PANKIW.
I'M FROM CANADA.
I'M IN
THE CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS,
AND WE BOUGHT THIS HOUSE ABOUT
4, 4 1/2 YEARS AGO.
I JUST LOVE FLORIDA.
I LOVE BOATING.
I'M ON THE WATER.
IT'S A LOT BETTER THAN LIVING UP
THERE IN THE SNOW.
LUCAS, THIS IS, UH, CYNTHIA.
HI.
HI, LUCAS.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
YEAH, YOU, TOO.
LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT
A 180-DEGREE VIEW.
THIS IS INSANE.
IN THE MORNINGS, WE GET UP,
AND WE HAVE COFFEE HERE,
AND THERE'S DOLPHINS
JUMPING IN THE BAY.
OH, YEAH.
THERE'S MANATEES THAT COME
RIGHT UP OUR CANAL.
I CAN TELL YOU GUYS WANT TO DO
SOME REMODELING BACK HERE.
IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATCH
THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSE.
Terry:
BACKYARD IS DATED.
THAT'S OUR NEXT PROJECT,
TO CLEAN UP OUR BACKYARD.
Cynthia:
WE DO EVERYTHING OUTSIDE.
WE USE IT AS AN EXTENSION
OF OUR HOUSE.
WE NEED TO FINISH MAKING
PANKIW'S PARADISE.
THIS IS OUR PARADISE.
SO YOU GUYS BASICALLY
LIVE OUTDOORS.
HOW DOES THAT WORK?
HOW DO YOU OPEN THIS UP
AND SEE YOUR TV FROM OUT HERE?
OH, NICE. THEY ALL COMPLETELY
POCKET IN, HUH?
THEY POCKET RIGHT INTO THE WALL.
OH, WOW.
AND THEN,
THIS IS MY OWN INVENTION.
THERE YOU GO.
AND OF COURSE,
NOW WE CAN SIT OUT...
WE - - WE SIT OUTSIDE HERE,
RIGHT?
YEAH.
AND WE WATCH TV.
SO TERRY SHOWS ME JUST HOW MUCH
HE LOVES TO BE OUTDOORS.
IT'S RIDICULOUS THAT HE HAS TO
MOVE HIS FURNITURE AROUND
EVERY TIME
AND TURN THE TV INSIDE.
IF HE'S WILLING TO GO THROUGH
ALL THAT EFFORT,
I MIGHT AS WELL DO SOMETHING
AMAZING OUTDOORS
WHERE HE DOESN'T HAVE TO
MOVE ANYTHING.
HE CAN JUST SIT OUT THERE,
FEEL LIKE HE'S GOT EVERYTHING
IN ONE COHESIVE DESIGN
AND UNIQUE SPACE.
ALL RIGHT, WELL,
I THINK I'M PICKING UP
WHAT YOU'RE THROWING DOWN.
I MEAN, I'M LOVING THE VIEW.
I'M LOVING, YOU KNOW,
BRINGING THE OUTSIDE IN
AND THE INSIDE OUT.
YOU KNOW, I SEE YOU'VE GOT
TERRY'S DOCK & BAR,
BUT WHERE'S THE BAR, TERRY?
YOU GOT STUFF FALLING OFF
THE WALLS HERE.
GOT THE SUPER DATED BRICK.
BASICALLY RIP OUT ALL THAT.
WE REALLY WANTED A NEW DECK
AND A HOT TUB.
THAT'S ALL WE WERE THINKING
AT THE TIME.
OF COURSE, YOU CAN SEE THAT
WE HAVE A HOT TUB OVER THERE
THAT WE WANT TO GET RID OF.
OBVIOUSLY, IT DOESN'T WORK.
THE PUMP'S SITTING RIGHT THERE.
TRYING TO PUT A CONCRETE HOT TUB
ONTO AN EXISTING FIBERGLASS
SHELL IS JUST NOT GONNA WORK.
THE CONCRETE DOESN'T WANT TO
STICK TO THE FIBERGLASS,
SO YOU'RE ALWAYS GONNA HAVE
THIS ISSUE OF IT
CRACKING RIGHT AROUND HERE.
WITHIN 10 SECONDS,
LUCAS EXPANDED ON IT.
THE SCREEN FROM EVERY ANGLE IS
JUST KIND OF KILLING YOUR VIEW.
ALL THE SCREWS ARE RUSTED.
AND THEN,
HE KEPT EXPANDING ON IT.
A LITTLE BIT OF CHALKY WHITE
ON MY FINGERS.
YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT GONNA BE
WORTH PUTTING THE MONEY INTO
REDOING THIS WHOLE AREA
AND THEN A YEAR OR TWO FROM NOW,
THIS WHOLE THING IS
JUST BREAKING DOWN.
I THINK FOR SURE JUST RIP OUT
THE ENTIRE DECK,
THE ENTIRE POOL, AND LET'S JUST
START OVER WITH A CLEAN SLATE.
AND WE WERE LIKE,
OKAY, SLOW DOWN.
I CAN TELL THAT THE PANKIWS
THINK I'M JUST TRYING TO BE LIKE
A USED CAR SALESMAN AND TRY TO
GET THEM FOR MORE MONEY.
IF I COULD SAVE THE POOL,
I WOULD.
BUT THIS IS NOT GONNA WORK.
SO I'M JUMPIN' IN
SO I CAN SHOW THEM.
LOOK, I THINK I EVEN SEE
A LEAK DOWN THERE.
OH, MY GOD.
WHOA.
WHAT - - WHAT'S HE DOING?
THIS GUY KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING,
RIGHT?
DUDE, COME DOWN HERE.
[ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ]
[ LAUGHING ]
SO I GET IN THE POOL,
AND I'M GLAD TERRY'S IN THERE
WITH ME
BECAUSE HE COULD TOUCH AND FEEL
AND SEE WHAT I SEE.
HOLD ON ONE SEC.
THE FIRST THING I NOTICE IS
THERE'S A LEAK
IN THE BOTTOM OF THE POOL,
AND THERE'S SO MUCH SALTWATER
COMING INTO THE POOL
FROM THE OCEAN
THAT THERE'S ACTUALLY CRABS
LIVING DOWN THERE.
DID I GET 'EM?
YEP.
I'M GOING 'ROUND
AND CHECKING THE RETURNS.
THIS ONE'S NOT EVEN WORKING.
SO NOW, I KNOW
THERE'S PLUMBING ISSUES.
AND THEN, I START PUSHING ON
ONE PART OF THE WALL...
YOU CAN FEEL THAT FIBERGLASS
IS DETERIORATING.
SO YOU GUYS ARE TELLING ME
YOU WANT PANKIW'S PARADISE.
SO FAR, YOU'VE GOT
A CRAB-INFESTED POOL.
I DON'T THINK
THAT'S A GOOD START.
THIS IS A GORGEOUS SETTING,
BUT THIS POOL AND THIS CAGE IS
NOT DOING IT ANY JUSTICE.
I THINK I'VE CONVINCED THEM NOW
THAT WE'VE GOT TO RIP IT OUT,
SO NOW I CAN START WITH
A CLEAN SLATE.
AND I REALLY WANT TO CREATE
SOMETHING THAT ALLOWS YOU TO
LIVE OUTDOORS COMFORTABLY.
MAYBE OVER IN THE CORNER HERE,
IT WOULD BE COOL TO DO, LIKE,
A ROCK GROTTO OR SOMETHING
WHERE YOU SWIM UNDERNEATH IT.
NO.
NO.
WE DON'T TO GO
WITH ANY ROCK.
ANY KIND OF ROCK WORK.
I MEAN,
WHAT AM I DOING HERE?
I'M THE ROCK GUY.
WE DON'T WANT BOULDERS
BLOCKING THE VIEW.
WE WANT TO KEEP A SOLID,
CLEAR VIEW.
GOTCHA, SO, YOU'RE NOT
LOOKING TO BUILD A FEATURE?
THE FEATURE IS THE NATURE
AROUND HERE,
AND YOU WANT SOMETHING THAT JUST
KIND OF BLENDS IN SEAMLESSLY?
YES.
OKAY.
AND WE WANNA GO MORE FOR
THE BEACH-Y FLORIDIAN FEEL
DOWN HERE.
WE WERE PRESENTING
A CHALLENGE TO HIM.
WHEN YOU GIVE AN ARTIST
A CHALLENGE,
YOU'RE GONNA GET A GOOD JOB.
WHAT ABOUT EVEN, LIKE,
WHITE BEACH PEBBLES?
YES.
OKAY.
AS THEY WERE EXPLAINING TO ME
WHAT THEY WANT, I MEAN,
I'M GETTING IT.
THEY WANT JUST SOMETHING REALLY
UNDERSTATED, CLEAN, SLEEK.
I JUST DON'T WANT IT
TO BE BORING.
I MEAN, IT'S GOT TO HAVE
THAT LUCAS FACTOR.
IF WE START WITH A NEW POOL,
WE COULD DO, LIKE,
A BIG SUN SHELF
ACROSS THE BACK THERE,
MAKE THE POOL BIGGER.
YOU KNOW, DOING, LIKE,
A SHALLOW BEACH AREA
WHERE YOU CAN
HAVE YOUR CHAIRS IN THE WATER
AND KIND OF SUNBATHE.
THEN, WE DO THE TRAVERTINES.
DO A NICE ELEVATED SPA SO THAT
IT GOES WATER TO WATER
SO IT GIVES YOU THAT
INFINITY EDGE
AND LOOK LIKE
IT'S SPILLING INTO THE BAY.
OH, THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
AND THEY DO WANT TO DO
AN OUTDOOR KITCHEN.
WE'D - - WE'D WANT TO PUT
A BARBECUE...
WE NEED A SINK.
SINK.
YOU KNOW,
AND A - - AND A FRIDGE.
SO, YOU NEED QUITE A BIT OF
CABINET SPACE, THEN?
YEAH, WE SHOULD HAVE
A TWO-TIER BAR.
SO, SPLIT-LEVEL?
SO THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY RIGHT
THERE TO DO SOME KIND OF
REALLY EXOTIC BAR TOP,
MAYBE LIGHT IT FROM UNDERNEATH.
WOULDN'T THAT BE COOL?
YEAH, I WOULD BE OVER HERE
ALL THE TIME.
YEAH, YEAH. RIGHT.
I'M SO EXCITED
TERRY AND CYNTHIA
WENT FOR THE WHOLE
BACKYARD REMODEL.
THIS WILL BE A 6-WEEK PROJECT
WITH A BUDGET OF $140,000.
I CAN'T WAIT TO BUILD IT
FOR YOU GUYS.
IT'S GONNA LOOK GOOD.
WHEN THIS PROJECT IS FINISHED,
I WANT TO WALK INTO
THAT BACKYARD,
AND I WANT MY HAIR
TO STAND UP ON MY ARMS.
THIS IS AN EXCITING DAY BECAUSE
WE START THE PANKIW DEMOLITION.
THE FIRST THING WE GOT TO DEMO
IS THE UGLY CAGE.
A CAGE IS BASICALLY
A SCREEN ENCLOSURE.
IN FLORIDA,
WE GET A LOT OF BUGS.
A POOL CAGE WORKS GREAT
IF THERE'S NO HOLES IN IT.
THE PANKIWS' IS FULL OF HOLES.
I WANT TO TAKE THAT DOWN
AND OPEN UP THE VIEW.
THE BEST WAY TO TAKE DOWN A CAGE
IS JUST UNSCREWING EVERYTHING
AND CAREFULLY DISASSEMBLING IT
SO YOU CAN RECYCLE IT.
HEY.
THERE YOU ARE, CAPTAIN.
HEY. WHAT'S UP, MAN?
I SEE YOU'RE WORKING.
DON'T GIVE ME THAT
"SEE I'M WORKING."
OH, YOU GOT A LONG WAY
TO GO HERE.
NO, ACTUALLY, YOU DO.
I THINK CRASH IS GONNA BE
THE PERFECT GUY
TO TAKE THIS CAGE DOWN ASAP.
WELL, EVERY TIME I SHOW UP,
YOU DISAPPEAR.
WELL, THAT WAY,
THE JOB SITE IS NEVER LONELY.
AND ACTUALLY, HERE'S A BONUS.
YOU TAKE OUT ALL THE SCREWS,
WE RECYCLE IT,
I'LL LET YOU GET
THE RECYCLING MONEY.
OH, THAT WORKS.
I CAN DEAL WITH THAT.
I MEAN, I - - THAT'S ALL MY JOB
IS, IS DESTROY STUFF,
RIP STUFF DOWN...
THERE'S, LIKE, 4 MILLION SCREWS
IN THIS POOL CAGE.
I'M GONNA BE HERE ALL DAY.
THEY CALL ME "CRASH"
FOR A REASON.
I LIKE JUST WRECKIN' STUFF.
YOU KNOW WHAT,
I GOT A BETTER WAY TO DO THIS.
THIS THING'S GOING TO GET
RECYCLED ANYWAYS,
SO IT DOESN'T MATTER
IF IT COMES NICE AND NEAT
OR ALL CRUNCHED UP.
MOVE IT, AND I'M DONE.
OH, YEAH.
THIS IS MUCH EASIER
THAN A SCREW GUN.
THAT'S HOW WE DESTROY STUFF.
Lucas: NOW THAT CRASH HAS GOTTEN
RID OF THIS UGLY CAGE,
IT'S TIME TO BRING IN THE CREW,
KIND OF LAY OUT THE GROUNDWORK
ON WHAT THE PLAN IS
TO TRANSFORM THIS BACKYARD.
SO HERE'S THE KICKER
TO THIS JOB.
NORMALLY, WE CAN JUST BLOW
PEOPLE AWAY WITH OUR AWESOME
ROCK ARTISTRY.
WE'RE ACTUALLY NOT ALLOWED
TO DO ANY ROCK WORK.
IT'S LIKE TAKIN' A KID TO
THE CANDY STORE
AND NOT LETTING HIM
HAVE ANY CANDY.
WHAT THE HECK ARE WE GONNA DO?
OLD MAN IS, UH, A LOT MORE LOST
THAN HE USUALLY IS ON A JOB.
THEY WANT SOMETHING
THAT FEELS LIKE NO MAINTENANCE,
JUST KIND OF ZEN AND SERENE.
SO, THEY WANT TO DO IT, LIKE,
BROOKLYN STYLE AND JUST CONCRETE
THE WHOLE BACKYARD?
[ LAUGHTER ]
ME, ON THE OTHER HAND, UH,
I'M FINE WITH NOT MIXING
SO MUCH CEMENT.
SO, YOU'RE SAYING WE'RE NOT
BUILDING ANYTHING WITH ROCK,
BUT WE CAN STILL USE ROCK?
BEING THE LEAD STONEMASON,
YOU KNOW, IT'S - -
IT'S A CHALLENGE FOR ME.
EVERYONE DESERVES
SOMETHING SPECIAL,
AND I THINK WE CAN COME UP
WITH SOME KIND OF
MONOLITHIC ROCK SCULPTURE
IN THE CORNER
THAT'S MORE OF A MINIMALIST
MODERN STYLE.
YEAH, IT MIGHT BE NICE TO HAVE
A-A LITTLE BREAK.
LET'S - -
LET'S HAVE A MOMENT OF ZEN.
♪♪ AH ♪♪
ALL RIGHT, NOW GET THE POWER
TOOLS OUT, MAKE NOISE!
BAM.
[ GROANING ]
[ SAW WHIRRING ]
Lucas: I GOT WOMAN TAKING OUT
THE TILES
THAT GO AROUND
THE BASEBOARD OF THE HOUSE.
I GOT OLD MAN CUTTING AROUND
THE COLUMNS.
I GOT SUNSHINE WORKING ON
RIPPING OUT THE WOODEN DECK.
I'M ON THE SKID LOADER.
AND THEN,
I GOT CRASH ON THE EXCAVATOR.
WHOO. YEAH.
WHEN I'M IN THE EXCAVATOR,
I TRY NOT TO PAY ATTENTION TO
WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE IS DOING.
I'M IN MY A/C COCOON.
I MEAN, I LIKE MY A/C LAND.
AND I'VE STARTED RIPPING UP
THE DECK.
OF COURSE, HE'S GOT TO LIVE UP
TO HIS NAME.
OH, ****!
ALL OF THE SUDDEN,
I HIT A PIPE.
WHAT THE HELL?
I JUST CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS DAY
TO BE OVER WITH
AND TO START THE NEXT DAY.
WHAT THE HELL?
WE'RE IN WEEK ONE
DOING DEMOLITION,
AND OF COURSE CRASH
IS HAVING A DIFFICULT CRASH DAY.
HIT A PIPE AND I WAS LIKE,
"THAT WAS MY FAULT ONCE AGAIN."
IF IT'S NOT ONE THING,
IT'S ANOTHER.
WELL, LET'S JUST TURN THEIR
MAIN LINE TO THEIR HOUSE OFF.
I MEAN, I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE
THAT I WOULD THINK THAT HE WOULD
ACTUALLY BE CAREFUL.
NOT ONLY AM I A PERFECTIONIST,
BUT WE GOT TERRY WATCHING US.
I MEAN, HE'S BEEN IN
CONSTRUCTION HIS WHOLE LIFE,
SO HE KNOWS THAT
SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT.
DO I HAVE TO MOVE
THE BOAT FOR YOU?
NO, I THINK IT'S OUT OF RANGE.
JUST 'CAUSE MY NAME IS CRASH
DOESN'T MEAN
I JUST PURPOSELY WRECK THINGS.
JUST SEEMED LIKE TODAY EVERYBODY
WAS JUST PICKING ON ME.
WELL, DO YOU KNOW HOW TO
RUN THIS THING?
MY FIRST - -
MY FIRST DAY ON IT.
WELL, MAYBE I SHOULD RUN IT.
CRASH, I MEAN, YEAH. HE'S - -
THAT'S A GOOD NAME FOR THAT GUY.
I DON'T WANT TO HIT
NO MORE THINGS.
DONE DESTROYING STUFF.
BUT HE DOES GET THE JOB DONE,
SO AS LONG AS HE DOESN'T WRECK
THE WHOLE HOUSE,
WE'RE IN GOOD HANDS.
THIS YOU COULD WRECK.
I'M-A TRY TO SAVE THIS.
LUCAS, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
COME ON, CHRIS.
GET ON THIS THING.
[ LAUGHTER ]
YEE-HAW!
WHOA!
GONNA GO MOVE MY BOAT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM TERRY,
WE FINISHED PULLING OUT
ALL THOSE OLD TILES.
YEAH, YOU ANIMAL.
AND WE TOOK OUT THAT RATTY,
OLD CONCRETE DECK.
TEARIN' OUT THE CONCRETE,
IT'S - - IT'S BACKBREAKING WORK.
ALL SO DUSTY.
WE WANNA FINISH THAT UP
AND THEN, UH,
YANK THE FIBERGLASS POOL OUT.
WE'LL MAKE IT HAPPEN.
WHOO.
WHOA.
YEAH! WE'RE READY FOR ACTION.
IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE ABOUT READY
TO TRY TO GET THIS WHOLE POOL
SHELL OUT OF HERE.
LUCAS HATES ANYTHING
THAT'S NOT A CONCRETE POOL - -
FIBERGLASS LINERS,
I MEAN, THERE'S ALWAYS
SOME KIND OF PROBLEM.
YOU'RE LIMITED TO
SOMEBODY ELSE'S DESIGN.
THEY FALL APART
WITHIN 15 TO 20 YEARS.
AND A CONCRETE POOL
COULD LAST FOREVER.
UH, SUNSHINE, I'M SORRY, BUT IT
DIDN'T LOOK LIKE WE WERE REALLY
ABLE TO SAVE IT FOR YOU.
I KNOW YOU HAD DREAMS OF
STICKING THIS IN YOUR YARD.
I SAY TWO PIECES, AND CHRIS RIPS
IT OUT 'CAUSE THAT'S...
AH, I'M GONNA LET HIM
RIP IT OUT.
OH, I'D LOVE TO, BUT I KNOW
CRASH GETS JEALOUS.
[ LAUGHS ]
SINCE I'VE ALREADY DID
SO MUCH DAMAGE ALREADY,
I'LL LET THE BOSS DO IT.
SO IF HE MESSES UP,
THEN IT'S ALL ON HIM
AND I CAN YELL AT HIM.
THERE YOU GO.
SEE, LOOK AT THAT.
HEY.
LOOK AT THAT.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO NOW?
[ GROWLS ]
[ LAUGHS ]
NOW THAT THE UGLY FIBERGLASS
POOL SHELL'S OUT OF THERE,
NOTHING'S GONNA STOP US
FROM CREATING PANKIW'S PARADISE.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
WELL, THERE MIGHT BE
ONE THING - - RAIN.
AND WE GET A LOT OF IT HERE
IN FLORIDA.
NOW, IT'S ONE THING TO BE
WORKING OUT IN THE RAIN.
IT'S ANOTHER THING TO BE OUT
THERE WHEN THERE'S HUGE STRIKES
OF LIGHTNING.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN REALLY
DO ABOUT IT BUT WAIT IT OUT
AND HOPE IT STOPS.
UH, HEY, GUYS. GET OVER HERE.
WE GOT SOME CAVE-INS
FROM THE RAIN LAST NIGHT.
LOOK, IT LOOKS LIKE IT FILLED UP
ABOUT 2 FEET, DOESN'T IT?
LOOKS LIKE QUICKSAND.
IT SLID IN A LITTLE BIT.
WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF
RAIN HERE.
WE GOT TO GET THE SITUATION
UNDER CONTROL
BECAUSE IF THAT
GROUND STARTS GIVING,
IT'S GONNA START UNDERMINING
THE FOOTER
THAT'S HOLDING UP THE COLUMN
THAT'S HOLDING UP THE ROOF.
WE GOT TO GET THIS SOLID ENOUGH
TO GET THE EXCAVATOR
DOWN IN THERE.
I CAN'T QUITE TELL.
IT LOOKS REALLY SOFT,
BUT MAYBE CRASH OR SOMEBODY
CAN JUMP DOWN IN THERE
AND SEE HOW BAD IT IS.
SEND THE HEAVY GUY IN THERE TO
GO SEE IF IT'S - -
YEAH.
OF COURSE, ME,
I-I LIKE PLAYING IN MUD.
I'LL - - I'LL VOLUNTEER.
I'M GOOD TO GO.
I- I DON'T MIND GETTING
A LITTLE DIRTY.
All: OH!
OH, IT'S A LITTLE MUD ANGEL.
CHRIS JUST VOLUNTEERED LIKE THE
SUPERHERO THAT HE THINKS HE IS
TO COME TO THE RESCUE.
OH, MAN.
THAT IS WICKED WET.
THAT EXCAVATOR'S NOT
GETTIN' OUT OF THERE.
ACTUALLY, LIKE, ALMOST LOSE
A MACHINE DOWN IN THESE HOLES.
[ LAUGHS ]
CHRIS HAS BEEN WITH LUCAS - -
HE'S, LIKE, HIS BEST FRIEND
FROM DAY ONE.
HE'D DO ANYTHING FOR LUCAS.
I'M COMING OUT OF MY HOME.
NOBODY GIVE HIM A HAND.
HE'S ALL DIRTY. HE'S ALL DIRTY.
I GOT GLOVES ON.
GET THE HOSE. HOSE HIM DOWN.
WE ALL GIVE EACH OTHER
A HARD TIME,
BUT WE ALL LOVE EACH OTHER.
THERE HE GOES
IN THE WATER.
I THOUGHT IT WAS A MANATEE.
A MANATEE.
A LITTLE BABY BELUGA.
WILL YOU STOP SCREWING OFF
AND GET OVER HERE AND HELP?
[ SCREAMS ]
HE'S GONNA GET EATEN BY
A SHARK.
THANKS TO CRASH, WE NOW KNOW
THAT THE HOLE'S TOO WET
TO DRIVE THE EXCAVATOR DOWN
THERE AND KEEP DIGGING.
SO WHAT WE GOT TO DO
IS INSTALL A SUMP PUMP,
SUCK ALL THE WATER OUT, FILL IT
IN WITH SHELL TO DRY IT OUT.
IF WE DON'T GET ANY MORE RAIN
BY TOMORROW,
IT'LL BE DRY ENOUGH
THAT WE CAN KEEP DIGGING
THE PANKIWS' NEW POOL.
WELL, OUR LUCK'S HELD UP
AND THE RAIN'S HELD OFF.
THE HOLE'S DRY ENOUGH TO GET
THE EXCAVATOR BACK IN THERE
AND KEEP DIGGING THE POOL,
AND STAKING THE PERIMETER.
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART
OF THE BUILD.
YOU GOT TO GET IT LAID OUT
JUST RIGHT.
IF YOU'RE OVER AN INCH, IT CAN
MAKE YOU RIP THE WHOLE POOL OUT.
THIS IS ALL GOING TO BE
A GIANT SUN SHELF.
SO WE WANNA DIG THIS DOWN
2 FOOT.
SO, ALL THIS IS WHAT,
2 FEET DOWN?
YEAH.
IT'S DRAWN LIKE THE SUN SHELF
GETS REAL NARROW,
BUT WE GOT TO
LEAVE IT OUT AT LEAST 5, 6 FEET
SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY
WALK THROUGH HERE.
THEN, OVER HERE,
WE HAVE THE STEPS AND THIS BENCH
RIGHT THERE
WHERE THE SPA IS.
THE SPA IS CENTERED ON
THIS COLUMN HERE.
BUT I HATE THIS COLUMN.
I THINK WE NEED TO
JUST RIP IT OUT OF HERE.
MY PHILOSOPHY,
IF IT'S IN THE WAY OF PROGRESS,
I'M GONNA RUN IT OVER.
AND SO IT'S IN THE WAY,
IT'S GETTIN' DESTROYED.
WITH THAT COLUMN OUT OF THE WAY,
WE NOW HAVE THE LAYOUT FOR
PANKIW'S PARADISE.
[ BEEPING ]
WELL, WE'RE - - WE'RE ON OUR WAY
BACK TO CANADA TO - -
TOMORROW MORNING.
SO I'M GONNA LEAVE EVERYTHING
IN YOUR HANDS,
AND WHEN I COME BACK...
YEP.
RIGHT? I WANT TO SEE
PANKIW'S PARADISE HERE.
YOU GOT IT.
JUST LEAVE ME THE KEYS
TO THE BOAT,
AND THAT WAY
WHEN YOU'RE GONE
IF WE GET A HURRICANE
OR ANYTHING,
I CAN PUT IT UP IN DRY STORAGE
IN THE MARINA FOR YOU.
OKAY, GOOD. FANTASTIC.
GOOD, GOOD.
NOW THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING
WITH LUCAS FOR A LITTLE BIT,
WE - - WE KNOW HIS CHARACTER.
HE KEEPS POLITELY SUGGESTING
HIS ROCK WORK,
AND WE'RE A LITTLE BIT MORE
OPEN-MINDED NOW.
IF I LET YOU DO SOME ROCK WORK
HERE, HOW ARE YOU GONNA DO THIS?
I FEEL COMFORTABLE ON
LETTING HIM GO AHEAD
AND DOING SOME ROCK WORK.
I KNOW WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
THIS ROCK WITH THE WATER
COMING OUT OF IT.
WELL, I GOT TO TELL YOU,
THE WHOLE TIME
I'VE BEEN WORKING HERE,
GEARS HAVE BEEN TURNING
IN MY HEAD.
INSTEAD OF JUST DOING ONE SIMPLE
MONOLITHIC ROCK RIGHT HERE,
I THINK A NICE WEEPING
WATER WALL,
SOMETHING KIND OF
SIMPLE AND UNDERSTATED.
WE'LL DO IT ALL IN THIS AREA SO
THAT WAY YOU STILL MAINTAIN THAT
GORGEOUS VIEW ACROSS THE BAY.
PERFECT, YEAH, 3 FEET, YOU KNOW,
MORE OR LESS WOULD BE GREAT.
THE ROCK GODS
ARE SMILING UPON ME TODAY.
REMEMBER, KEEP IT FLORIDA.
I DON'T WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE
THE CANADIAN ROCKIES.
I'M LEAVING THIS TOTALLY
IN YOUR HANDS.
I'D SAY THANK YOU, PANKIW.
IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
PERFECT. THANKS, BUDDY.
ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL SEE YOU LATER.
BYE, DEAR.
WE'RE TRYING TO INSTALL THE
MONOLITH OF THE PANKIW BUILD,
BUT THE WEATHER
IS FIGHTING US ONCE AGAIN.
I MEAN, IT'S LIKE A MONSOON.
WE GOT LIGHTNING STRIKING
ALL AROUND US.
THIS IS NOT COOL,
AND IT'S NOT GONNA WORK.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
TERRY AND CYNTHIA HAVE LEFT
TO CANADA ON BUSINESS.
BUT BEFORE THEY LEFT,
THEY GAVE ME THE GREEN LIGHT TO
AT LEAST DO SOME ROCK WORK.
BUT BEFORE I CAN DO THAT,
WE GOT TO GET THE STEEL IN
AND THE SHOTCRETE SHOT.
ONCE WE GET THE REBAR IN PLACE,
YOU CAN REALLY SEE THE SKELETAL
STRUCTURE OF THE POOL.
I MEAN, YOU CAN SEE WHERE ALL
THE SUN SHELVES ARE,
THE WATER WALL,
THE STEPS, THE SPA.
I MEAN, THAT'S REALLY THE
BACKBONE OF THE WHOLE DESIGN.
[ MACHINE WHIRRING ]
WHEN WE'RE SHOOTING A NEW POOL
SHELL, WE ALWAYS USE SHOTCRETE.
IT'S A VERY STRONG MATERIAL.
SHOOTING TODAY PROBABLY
50 TO 60 YARDS OF SHOTCRETE.
THIS IS BASICALLY
THE FOUNDATION OF THE JOB.
Lucas: THIS POOL IS IN THE SAME
PLACE AS THE OLD POOL,
BUT IT'S MUCH LARGER
BECAUSE WE ADDED THIS HUGE SPA
AND THEN BUMPED THE WHOLE POOL
OUT ANOTHER 5 FEET.
WE'VE ALMOST DOUBLED THE SIZE OF
THE ORIGINAL POOL.
AND FOR THE INFINITY EDGE
ON THE SPA,
WE HAD TO GET THAT SPA BEAM
JUST PERFECTLY LEVEL
SO THE WATER WOULD EVENLY FLOW
OVER THE WHOLE THING.
AND BECAUSE THE SPA
IS ELEVATED 22 INCHES,
THAT WHOLE SPA BEAM IS LIKE ONE
BIG BENCH YOU CAN SIT ON.
OR YOU CAN GET INSIDE THERE
AND - - AND HANG OUT AND RELAX.
GET THIS LAST FORM OFF OF HERE,
JOHN,
AND SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
ONE OF THE OTHER
REALLY IMPORTANT FEATURES
FOR TERRY AND CYNTHIA'S
BACKYARD IS THE BAR AREA.
JUST LIKE OUR POOLS,
ANY OUTDOOR LIVING AREA
THAT WE CREATE
IS GOING TO REFLECT
THE CLIENTS' NEEDS,
AND IT'S GONNA BE FUN.
BECAUSE OF THE, UH,
SPACE LIMITATIONS,
WE HAD TO FREEFORM IT AND THEN
ACTUALLY POUR IN CONCRETE.
AND BECAUSE WE DID THAT,
WE ACTUALLY GOT A REALLY
BEAUTIFUL SHAPE.
GET IT OUT OF THE WAY.
JANE, WE CALL "WOMAN."
THAT'S LUCAS' MOM.
SHE'S THE HARDEST WORKING LADY
I'VE EVER MET.
I DON'T WANT MY WIFE
HEARING THAT ONE. [ LAUGHS ]
YEAH, AMAZED HOW THIS LITTLE
CORNER, UH, REALLY CAME THROUGH.
LUCAS HAD A GENIUS IDEA.
I DIDN'T THINK THERE WAS
ENOUGH ROOM TO DO ANYTHING.
THEY HAD THE LITTLE TABLE HERE.
AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
TOO TIGHT WITH THE SPA.
BUT THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM.
WE GOT A FRIDGE OVER HERE.
WE GOT THE GRILL
GOING UP HERE.
IT'S GONNA BE
A NICE LITTLE BAR.
WHAT BAR WOULD BE COMPLETE
WITHOUT A TV?
SO I CALLED IN MY BUDDY, FRANK,
HE'S AN A/V SPECIALIST,
TO FIGURE OUT
HOW WE CAN GET A NICE-SIZED TV
IN THIS SMALL SPACE.
FRANK, ANOTHER, UH,
A/V CHALLENGE FOR YOU HERE.
I SEE THAT.
I'M FRANK.
I'M THE A/V INTEGRATOR
FOR LUCAS LAGOONS.
AND WHEN LUCAS NEEDS A NICE
OUTDOOR SETUP, SOUND SYSTEM,
TV SYSTEM,
WE COME OUT AND WE HOOK IT UP.
I WANTED TO BRING YOU HERE SO
YOU COULD SEE HOW SERIOUS TERRY
WAS ABOUT HIS A/V STUFF.
THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE
A LIVING ROOM.
HE'S GOT IT KIND OF
ON A SWIVEL
'CAUSE THEY LOVE TO
LIVE OUTDOORS.
AND WHEN THEY'RE OUTSIDE,
THEY ACTUALLY OPEN THE SLIDERS
AND KIND OF TIP
THIS WHOLE THING OUT.
SEEMS LIKE A LOT
OF WORK TO GO THROUGH.
I THINK WE NEED TO BASICALLY
RECREATE THIS OUTDOORS
SOMEWHERE.
ALL RIGHT.
I CAN GET OUT THERE,
KIND OF LOOK THROUGH
THE LANDSCAPE,
SEE WHERE WE CAN PUT SPEAKERS,
WHAT SIZE TV WE COULD MOUNT
AT THE BAR THERE.
AND, UH, WE'LL GO FROM THERE.
WHILE FRANK'S SCOPING OUT
THE BAR TO FIGURE OUT
WHERE HE'S GONNA INSTALL
A COOL TV,
I'M GOING TO GO SEE A MAN
ABOUT A REALLY BIG ROCK.
I'VE HAD THIS COOL SLAB OF
OOLITE FROM FLORIDA,
AND I'VE BEEN WANTING TO DO
SOMETHING WITH IT FOR A WHILE.
I'M BRINGING IT HERE TO ROBERT
TODAY SO HE CAN HELP ME
COME UP WITH SOME IDEAS
OF WHAT WE CAN DO TO IT
TO MAKE IT JUST A PIECE
OF ART THAT STANDS ON ITS OWN.
BETWEEN ROBERT AND I
AND ALL HIS EQUIPMENT,
WE CAN COME UP
WITH SOMETHING REALLY COOL
AND UNIQUE FOR THE PANKIWS.
THIS IS A NATIVE FLORIDA
MATERIAL.
IT COMES OUT OF
THE FLORIDA KEYS.
SO THAT'S WHY I'M USING IT.
IT IS 100% FLORIDA STONE.
WE GOT TO SHAVE OFF
ALL THE ROUGH STUFF
SO WE GET IT SO IT
LOOKS LIKE CORAL.
I'D REALLY LOVE IT.
IT'S A CORAL FAMILY MATERIAL.
THAT'S RIGHT.
AND I WANT TO CUT
A CHANNEL OUT OF IT.
UH-HUH.
MAKE THE WATER COME OUT
OF THE TOP.
AND EITHER THE WATER COMES DOWN
LIKE BLACK MEXICAN BEACH PEBBLE.
OR MAYBE WE COULD GET A LIGHT
INSIDE IT AND TAKE A PIECE OF
SOMETHING TRANSLUCENT
THAT RUNS DOWN IT
SO WHERE THE WATER'S RUNNING
DOWN, IT GLOWS AT NIGHT.
SO, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING
LIKE THAT?
YES, I DO. UH, ORANGE.
IT'S A SOAPSTONE FAMILY.
I GOT IT HERE.
YEAH, YEAH, I DO.
LET'S GET CREATIVE.
LET'S HAVE FUN WITH THIS.
LET'S DO IT.
ALL RIGHT.
GOOD. YEAH,
I THINK WE COULD TAKE THREE.
THREE INCHES?
YEAH.
THE LASER WILL HELP US
TO GET THAT DISTANCE.
MY BIGGER SAW WILL BE
A 10-FOOT BLADE,
AND WILL CUT UP TO
30,000-POUND BLOCKS.
THAT'S THE BIGGEST SAW
ON THE MARKET.
EASY.
WOW, LOOK AT THAT.
THAT LOOKS JUST LIKE CORAL.
SO, UH, WHERE'S THAT STONE
YOU WERE THINKING ABOUT
USING WITH IT?
YEAH, I GOT IT RIGHT HERE.
LET ME - -
LET ME SHOW IT TO YOU.
SOAPSTONE FAMILY MATERIAL
FROM UTAH.
OH, WOW. THAT'S IT?
IT'S INCREDIBLE.
OH, MY GOD.
LOOK AT THE CONTRAST THERE.
BUT YET,
THE SAME COLOR TONES.
OVER TIME, THIS GETS KIND OF
SHINY AND SOAPY.
UH-HUH, AND IT'LL HAVE
A LITTLE RIPPLE TO IT
WITH THE WATER COMING
ACROSS, THEN.
YOU'LL SEE LIGHT
FROM UNDERNEATH THE ROCK.
IT'S VERY COOL EFFECT.
THAT'S SLEEK. THAT'S MODERN.
IT GIVES IT THAT FLORIDA LOOK.
YOU'RE MY GUY, BUDDY.
YEAH, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
NOW THAT I HAVE THIS BIG SLAB OF
OOLITE, THIS MONOLITH,
I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO TIE IT
IN WITH SOMETHING ELSE.
I THINK I NEED ANOTHER PIECE OF
OOLITE, MAYBE SOMETHING LOWER,
MAYBE CREATE A FIRE BOWL
WITH IT.
OH, YEAH, WE'LL JUST LEVEL THIS
ALL OUT SMOOTH HERE,
AND THEN WHEN YOU CUT IT,
IT'LL BE SMOOTH ON THE OUTSIDE.
SO IT'LL BE PERFECT.
SO IT'S NOT JUST ONE MONOLITHIC
ROCK OF OOLITE,
BUT NOW IT'S GOT SOME SYMMETRY.
YOU GOT THIS BIG ONE
AND THIS LITTLE ONE,
AND IT REALLY TIES IT TOGETHER.
WHILE ROBERT FINISHES THE OOLITE
MONOLITH AND FIRE BOWL,
I'M GONNA GET STARTED
WITH MY TEAM
ON THE OTHER ROCK FEATURE THAT
TERRY AND CYNTHIA AGREED ON - -
THE WATER WALL.
SO JUST IMAGINE, YOU KNOW,
WE STACK THESE ROCKS UP
ON THIS WALL.
WE HAVE THIS COOL LOOK
OF A WATER WALL
AND THE KIND OF
RAPIDS COMING DOWN.
COOL, WE GET TO DO
SOME ROCK WORK. YAY!
MAKE SURE YOU PICK SOME ONES
WITH CHARACTER.
I LIKE - - THIS ONE'S GOT
A LITTLE BROWN IN IT,
A LITTLE BLACK.
NICE FACE ON IT.
SO LUCAS IS BOUND AND DETERMINED
TO BUILD THIS WATER WALL,
AND HE WANTED TO USE SOME
TENNESSEE ROCKS SOMEWHERE,
ANYWHERE IN THIS PROJECT.
PUT THAT ONE - -
YEAH, LIKE THAT.
BUT AS IT STARTS
COMING TOGETHER,
I'M GETTING A SICK
FEELING IN MY STOMACH.
UGH, YOU KNOW WHAT, WOMAN?
I LOVE THAT ROCK.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
I'M - - I'M JUST NOT FEELING IT
HERE AT THIS JOB.
I MEAN, I COULD TELL
HE JUST HIT THE WALL.
HE SAID,
"THIS IS NOT GONNA WORK."
GUYS, GUYS,
JUST PUT THOSE ROCKS BACK.
GET 'EM ALL OUT OF HERE.
OH, NO.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
WE HAD IT ALL LAID OUT.
IT WAS ALMOST BUILT.
I HATE DOING THINGS TWICE.
WELL, SOMETIMES THAT'S
THE LUCAS LAGOONS WAY.
HE'S AN ARTIST FIRST,
AND HE REALIZED THAT THAT STONE
WAS WRONG FOR THAT
PARTICULAR SITUATION.
HE'LL COME UP WITH SOMETHING.
TODAY, I JUST FELT LIKE
I WAS HAVING DESIGNER'S BLOCK.
SO I DECIDED TO GET OUT
ONTO EMERSON POINT
IN THE NATURE PRESERVE
JUST DOWN THE STREET FROM HERE.
Jane: EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,
HE JUST NEEDS TO WALK AWAY
FOR A LITTLE WHILE
AND TAKE A DEEP BREATH.
WOW.
SO GETTING OUT HERE
INTO THIS NATURAL ENVIRONMENT,
THIS HAS REALLY INSPIRED ME.
AND I'VE DRIVEN OVER THAT BRIDGE
THOUSANDS OF TIMES.
BUT BEING IN THAT
NATURE PRESERVE,
I NOTICED SOMETHING
I DIDN'T SEE BEFORE.
THERE'S A LIGHT ON TOP FLASHING.
NOT THAT I'M GONNA DO A FLASHING
LIGHT ON MY MONOLITH,
BUT IT GAVE ME THE IDEA TO HAVE
FIRE COMING OUT OF THE TOP.
I'M ALWAYS THINKING
ABOUT BIG ROCKS,
BUT MAYBE THESE SMALL BEACH
PEBBLES WOULD CREATE
THE RIPPLING OF THE TIDES,
KIND OF THE EFFECT
THAT'S OUT THERE IN THE BAY.
THE DESIGN PART OF THIS BUILD
HAS BEEN
REALLY A CHALLENGE FOR ME.
AND IT'S FUNNY,
THIS IS REALLY ALL I NEEDED,
WAS JUST TO GET OUT INTO NATURE.
I REALLY FEEL INSPIRED.
I KNOW THE ELEMENTS THAT I NEED.
I'M READY TO GET BACK
AND MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
I GOT ALL MY IDEAS.
I FEEL SO EXCITED.
I'M SO REJUVENATED NOW.
THE ROCK'S BACK FROM ROBERT.
WE'RE READY TO SET
THIS OOLITE BOULDER.
WE GOT IT STRAPPED UP,
AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN - -
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
I MEAN, IT'S LIKE A MONSOON.
THE WIND'S BLOWING.
THE RAIN'S COMING IN SIDEWAYS.
WE GOT LIGHTNING STRIKING
ALL AROUND US.
SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO
WAIT IT OUT
AND HOPE WE CAN GET BACK TO
WORK HERE SHORTLY.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
WE'RE TRYING TO INSTALL THE
MONOLITH AT THE PANKIW BUILD,
BUT THE WEATHER IS
FIGHTING US ONCE AGAIN.
I MEAN, THE RAIN SLOWS US DOWN,
BUT THE REAL PROBLEM IS
THE LIGHTNING.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
WE CAN'T WORK WITH LIGHTNING,
SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO
WAIT IT OUT
AND HOPE WE CAN GET BACK TO WORK
HERE SHORTLY.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
WE'RE STILL GETTING RAIN HERE
ON AND OFF,
BUT SINCE THERE'S NO LIGHTNING,
WE CAN GET BACK TO WORK.
WHOA.
IT WAS TRICKY.
I MEAN, THIS THING'S, LIKE,
3,000 POUNDS.
SWING IT OVER HERE. WHOA.
HOW THE HECK ARE WE GONNA GET
THAT IN THIS POOL?
WHAT'S THE ORIENTATION
YOU WANT?
KIND OF RIGHT TOWARDS
THE CORNER OF THE HOUSE.
SO I'M EXTENDED AS FAR OUT
AS THIS EXCAVATOR WILL REACH.
I'M FORCING IT
TO GET INTO PLACE.
THIS THING JUST DOES NOT WANT
TO DO IT.
ARE THE PIPES CENTERED
IN THE NOTCH?
YOU CAN COME THIS WAY.
John: THE EXCAVATOR REACHED IN,
AND WE SET IT DOWN.
IT WAS A LITTLE SCARY.
PERFECT.
WE'RE LEVEL ON BOTH WAYS.
LET ME SEE HOW IT LOOKS
FROM THE HOUSE.
I LIKE THE WAY
IT'S KIND OF ANGLED.
ALL YOU'RE BLOCKING
IS REALLY THAT PALM TREE
AND THE BOAT BEHIND YOU.
IT'S STILL LEAVING THE VIEW
REALLY OPEN.
THAT'S GONNA LOOK AWESOME
WITH THE FIRE
SHOOTING OUT OF THAT ROCK.
ORIGINALLY,
THIS OOLITE BOULDER
WAS GONNA BE A MONOLITHIC
WATER FEATURE.
BUT BEING OUT INTO EMERSON POINT
GAVE ME THE IDEA TO HAVE FIRE
COMING OUT OF THE TOP.
ONCE WE POLISH THIS, IT'S GONNA
LOOK LIKE A BIG SLAB OF CORAL.
AND THEN,
WE'RE GONNA DO THE SOAPSTONE,
AND IT'S GONNA HAVE
LED LIGHTS BEHIND IT.
SO THIS IS GONNA BE ORANGE
ALL THE WAY UP,
AND THEN FIRE COMING
OUT OF THE TOP.
THIS IS A COOL IDEA.
I CAN'T WAIT. IT'S GONNA BE
SUCH A SURPRISE FOR THEM.
ALL RIGHT, YOU GUYS. I THINK
I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT.
I WAS AT EMERSON POINT
ON THE BAY
LOOKING OUT AT THIS
BEAUTIFUL NATURE PRESERVE,
SEEING THE SHALLOWS OF
THE TIDES CHANGING
AND THE RIPPLING EFFECT.
IT'S BEEN STARING ME
IN THE FACE ALL THIS TIME.
THE BEACH PEBBLE'S THE PERFECT
THING FOR THE WATER WALL.
ALL RIGHT.
IMAGINE AS THE WATER ROLLS OUT
OF HERE,
IT'S GONNA BASICALLY
CREATE A RIPPLING TIDE EFFECT
COMING DOWN.
TRICKLING DOWN.
IT'S GONNA LOOK JUST LIKE
THE BAY RIGHT HERE.
YOU KNOW, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO
MAKE A WATERFALL,
LET'S REPLICATE THE NATURE
THAT'S ALL AROUND US.
I LIKE THAT.
I THINK IT'LL LOOK GREAT
ON EVERYTHING.
WE CAN USE IT ON THE WATER WALL,
ON THE WATER LINE TILE,
WRAPPING THE SPA, GOING AROUND
THE OUTDOOR KITCHEN.
WHEW.
I HOPE YOU GOT A LOT OF THAT.
I CALCULATED ABOUT 700
SQUARE FOOT OF THIS.
GONNA KEEP ME BUSY
FOR A LITTLE BIT.
GET STARTED ON LAYING THIS.
I WANT TO SEE IT ON THIS WALL.
THE LONGER YOU TALK TO ME,
THE LONGER IT DOESN'T GET
ON THE WALL.
ALL RIGHT.
I'LL LEAVE YOU ALONE, THEN.
ALL RIGHT, GET OUT OF HERE.
[ WHIRRING ]
WELL, I'M GLAD LUCAS
HAD HIS LITTLE BREAKTHROUGH.
HE SHOWS UP WITH A BOX OF TILES.
EVERYTHING'S ON A MAT.
PRE-GLUE IT ON.
ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS JUST
SET IT ON THE WALL.
THAT'S MY KIND OF WORK.
REMEMBER, THIS BEACH PEBBLE IS
THE WHOLE INFINITY EDGE.
I MEAN, IMAGINE THE WATER
TRAVELING THROUGH HERE
AND GETTING THAT RIPPLING LOOK
LIKE WE HAVE OUT IN THE BAY.
I LOVE IT.
IT'LL DO, LIKE, THE LITTLE...
[ LAUGHING ]
BECAUSE OF MY EXPERIENCE
DOING POOLS,
LUCAS PUT ME IN CHARGE OF
TAKING CARE OF THE TILE.
HE KNEW I'D GET IT DONE AND GET
IT DONE LOOKING BEAUTIFUL.
WOW, GUYS.
THIS LOOKS AWESOME. GOOD JOB.
I LOVE IT.
I THINK IT'S GONNA BE SO COOL.
I LIKE THIS.
I MEAN, IT'S PRETTY NEAT.
Chris: MOST OF THE JOBS
THAT LUCAS GIVES ME,
I'VE USUALLY GOT TO DO
EVERYTHING BY MYSELF.
BUT THIS TIME, I GOT SOME HELP.
ON THIS JOB, EVERYBODY'S PRETTY
MUCH DOING SOMETHING THAT
THEY'RE NOT NORMALLY USED TO.
WOMAN WORKING WITH
LITTLE PEBBLES...
I'M NOT A TILE PERSON.
I'VE NEVER DONE TILE BEFORE.
BUT THAT'S OKAY.
SOMETHING NEW TO DO.
OLD MAN GROUTING,
WHICH MAKES HIM PRETTY GROUCHY.
[ MACHINE WHIRRING ]
THE REST OF US ARE JUST RUNNING
AROUND TRYING TO PICK UP
THE SLACK OR TO HELP OUT
WHEREVER IS NEEDED.
WE DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO
AND WE'LL GET IT DONE.
[ MACHINE WHIRRING ]
TRAVERTINE TIME, HUH?
YES, IT IS.
ISN'T THAT EXCITING?
WE CAN ACTUALLY GET SOME
FINISH WORK DONE HERE.
MAN, THIS DECK IS HUGE NOW.
I WASN'T EXPECTING IT
TO BE THIS BIG.
I'M SO GLAD
WE'RE MUD-SETTING THIS.
THAT'S REALLY THE BEST WAY
OF DOING IT.
I MEAN, IT'S BASICALLY
WHAT YOU WOULD DO INDOORS,
BUT WE'RE DOING IT OUTDOORS,
AND IT'S GONNA LOOK AWESOME.
THE BEST WAY TO DO IT.
Lucas: WE WANT TO TRAVERTINE
EVERYTHING.
ALL THE COPING, THE TOP OF THE
SPA, THE WHOLE UPPER DECK AREA,
ALL THE RISERS
AND TREADS ON THE STEPS.
NOW, THE REAL HARD PART
IS GONNA BE GROUTING IT.
I MEAN, I'M GONNA LEAVE THAT UP
TO SUNSHINE AND OLD MAN.
THEY'RE GONNA LOVE ME
AFTER THIS.
SO, HOW MUCH OF THIS
DO WE HAVE TO DO?
A LOT.
THIS IS ABOUT 1/20 OF IT.
WHEN LUCAS TOLD ME THAT WE HAVE
A LITTLE BIT OF STONE WORK TO DO
BUT IT'S LITTLE PEBBLES,
I'M LIKE, OH, MY GOD.
YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
BECOME ONE WITH THE GROUT.
OKAY?
BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT
A LONG WAY TO GO.
WE CALL HIM "OLD MAN"
NOT BECAUSE HE'S REALLY OLD.
HE DRAGS HIS FEET.
YOU KNOW, HE'S KIND OF LIKE
THE SLOTH OF THE BUNCH.
WAIT TILL YOU'RE AS OLD AS I AM.
YOU'LL COMPLAIN MORE, TOO.
I LIKE THE BIG ROCKS
THAT GO IN FAST,
AND I CAN STAND BACK AND SAY,
"WOW,
I GOT ALL THAT DONE TODAY?"
THIS SUCKS.
WELL, HEY,
WE GOT TO GROUT ALL THIS.
THIS IS TO SEAL ALL THE TILES,
SO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WORKS.
YOU KNOW, THIS HAS GOT TO BE
EASIER WORK THAN WHEN YOU WERE
BACK BUILDING THE PYRAMIDS.
YEAH, WELL, THEY DIDN'T USE
LITTLE PEBBLES
TO BUILD 'EM, EITHER.
HEY.
WHAT'S UP, FRANKIE?
I LOOKED AROUND THE SPACE,
AND I'M PRETTY MUCH THINKING
THAT THIS IS PROBABLY
THE ONLY SPOT
WE GOT TO PUT A TV IN.
THE OUTDOOR TV
IS GOIN' BEHIND THE BAR.
THAT'S THE PERFECT LOCATION.
IT'S NOT BLOCKING THE VIEW
OF THE BAY,
IT CAN BE SEEN FROM THE HOT TUB,
AND IT CAN BE VIEWED
WHEN PEOPLE ARE SITTIN'
AT THE BAR HAVING DRINKS.
WHERE ARE WE GONNA PUT THESE
SATELLITE SPEAKERS?
I'M THINKING WE CAN PUT ONE
IN EACH CORNER,
AND THEN I'LL UTILIZE
THE LOCATIONS AROUND THE POOL
TO PUT OUR SATELLITE SPEAKERS.
WE'RE READY TO GO.
WE JUST GOT TO GET OUR POWER
AND OUR VIDEO FEED HERE.
OH. THERE'S ONE MORE THING,
ACTUALLY,
WE GOT TO INTEGRATE
INTO THIS SPACE.
CHECK THIS OUT.
HOLD ON.
BEFORE WE DESIGNED THIS WHOLE
THING, THIS WAS UP ON THE WALL.
TERRY'S DOCK & BAR.
SO I'D REALLY LOVE TO SURPRISE
HIM AND SOMEHOW HAVE THIS HERE.
SO NOW, I'M THINKING,
"HOW CAN I PUT A TV AND A SIGN
IN THE EXACT SAME LOCATION?"
IT'S LIKE PARKING TWO CARS
IN ONE PARKING SPOT.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GONNA
PUT IT, MAN, BUT I TRUST YOU.
FIGURE IT OUT.
THANKS A LOT, BUDDY.
NOW THAT WE HAVE
THE STACKED BEACH PEBBLE
COMPLETE ON THE BAR,
IT'S TIME TO PUT IN
THE TWO-TIERED GRANITE
AND QUARTZ COUNTERTOP.
CAREFUL.
DON'T HIT THE STONES.
THEY'RE LOOSE.
WE'VE DESIGNED A CURVED BAR
THAT REALLY FLOWS
WITH THE RADIUS OF THE SPA.
ONE, TWO, THREE.
THE BOTTOM PIECE OF GRANITE
WENT IN PRETTY EASY.
TOOK SIX GUYS 'CAUSE IT WEIGHED
ABOUT 700 POUNDS.
THERE WE GO. NOW IT'S STARTING
TO LOOK LIKE SOMETHING.
John: UNDERNEATH THE TOP TIER
OF THE GRANITE COUNTERTOP IS
A PANEL OF LED LIGHTING, AND
IT'S GONNA LOOK GREAT AT NIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, SO WE'RE GETTING
THE LED LIGHT PANEL IN THERE.
SO, ALL THAT'S REALLY GONNA HOLD
IT IN THERE IS THE PRESSURE
OF IT BEING SANDWICHED BETWEEN
THE BRACKET AND THE TOP, RIGHT?
ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
WE GOT TO LIFT ALL TOGETHER.
THIS IS VERY FRAGILE.
WE'VE GOT TO KEEP EVEN PRESSURE
ACROSS THE WHOLE PIECE
OR IT COULD SNAP AND THERE GOES
OUR WHOLE PROJECT.
1, 2, 3. LET'S GO.
THIS OTHER WAY?
MOVE OVER - - MOVE OVER THERE.
WANT ME TO STAY - -
WANT ME TO LINE UP THE HOLES?
John:
THIS IS VERY NERVE-RACKING.
WE HAD TO BALANCE IT DOWN ONTO
THOSE, LIKE, EIGHT PEGS THAT HAD
TO GO THROUGH THE HOLES ON
THE BOTTOM SECTION OF GRANITE.
IT'S GOT TO DROP IN AT THE SAME
TIME OR IT'S GONNA BREAK.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE THE GUY
THAT CAUSED IT TO CRACK.
SO YOU'VE GOT TO GO THIS WAY
A LITTLE BIT.
THIS ONE'S JUST NOT LINING UP.
[ SOFT CLUNK ]
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
WE GOT TO LIFT ALL TOGETHER.
THIS IS VERY FRAGILE.
WE'RE FINALLY READY
FOR THE GRANITE COUNTER,
AND IT'S VERY HEAVY.
IT'S JUST, LIKE, 700 POUNDS
WORTH OF WEIGHT GOING ON.
WE HAD TO BALANCE IT DOWN
ONTO THOSE EIGHT PEGS.
IT'S GOT TO DROP IN AT THE SAME
TIME OR IT'S GONNA BREAK.
THIS IS VERY NERVE-RACKING.
THIS ONE'S JUST NOT LINING UP.
[ SOFT CLUNK ]
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
ALL THE HOLES LINED UP
PERFECTLY EXCEPT ONE.
ONE IN THE MIDDLE
DIDN'T LINE UP.
IF THIS LAST PIECE
DOESN'T GO IN,
THIS WHOLE THING IS A DISASTER.
1, 2, 3.
IT TOOK A LITTLE BIT
OF ENCOURAGEMENT
TO GET THAT ONE TO GO IN.
Lucas:
YOU CAN HEAR IT, LIKE, CRACKING.
WHEW.
YEAH.
NO, WE'RE ALL GOOD.
GONNA LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
I MEAN, THIS IS REALLY
COMING TOGETHER, HUH?
SEXY, SEXY.
NOW THAT THE OOLITE BOULDER
IS IN,
IT'S TIME TO TAKE IT TO
THE NEXT LEVEL.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
WELL, NOW IT'S TIME TO GET
THIS SOAPSTONE IN.
THIS LED LIGHT PANEL
IS GONNA GO BEHIND IT.
IT'S GONNA LOOK SO AWESOME
AS THAT COMES THROUGH THAT
MONOLITHIC BOULDER.
THE WHOLE THING GLOWS EVENLY
SO YOU DON'T GET HOT
AND COLD SPOTS.
THE THING IS, THOUGH, IS THESE
ARE ALL INDIVIDUAL PIECES THAT
ARE EPOXIED TOGETHER.
BUT WE'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL
BECAUSE WE CAN'T JUST LIFT UP
ONE SIDE.
I DON'T KNOW,
CAREFUL'S NOT MY THING.
1, 2, 3.
WE GOT THIS COOL SOAPSTONE
THAT LOOKS LIKE FIRE.
IT'S GOT ORANGES AND YELLOWS
IN IT AND SOME BLACKS.
WE'RE GONNA SINK A FEW INCHES
WHEN I GET OUT THERE.
AS I GRAB IT FROM THE TOP,
JUST FEED IT FROM THE BOTTOM.
1, 2, 3.
THAT'S GONNA SLIDE IN THAT SLOT
RIGHT THERE
SO THAT WHOLE CREVICE IS
THIS COOL SOAPSTONE.
IT'S CATCHING ON SOMETHING.
WE JUST HAVE TO MOVE IT OVER.
WE'RE GONNA DO SOME SORT OF GAS
PIPE SO THAT WAY,
THAT SOAPSTONE LOOKS LIKE FIRE.
AND THEN, IT SHOOTS
FLAMES OUT OF THE TOP.
I MEAN,
THAT'S GONNA LOOK SO COOL.
GOT IT.
OKAY. DOWN.
OKAY, GET YOUR FINGER OUT.
MAN, THAT'S AMAZING, DUDE.
YEAH, THAT'S BADASS.
I LOVE IT.
THIS IS A LUCAS LAGOONS
ORIGINAL.
NOBODY BUT TERRY AND CYNTHIA
HAVE ONE OF THESE.
Jane: THE END RESULT
WAS REALLY COOL.
THAT LIGHT PANEL
WAS A BRILLIANT IDEA.
AT NIGHT,
IT'S GONNA BE FANTASTIC.
YEAH, WE DIDN'T GET TO SET
THE GRAVEL THIS TIME,
BUT THIS IS OUR - -
OUR GEM OF THE BUILD.
YES, IT IS.
YEP.
IT'S A WINNER.
WE'RE FINISHED WITH ALL
THE MAJOR ROCK WORK.
TRYING TO GET IT ALL FINISHED UP
BEFORE TERRY AND CYNTHIA GET
BACK INTO TOWN.
WE'RE FINISHING THE CEILING
AND THE BAR AREA,
LAYING IN THE SOD
AND DOING THE LANDSCAPING,
MAKING SURE
THE POOL EQUIPMENT WORKS.
WE'RE INSTALLING
THE APPLIANCES IN THE KITCHEN.
NICE.
Jane: AND THE AUDIO/VISUAL
SYSTEM IS GOING IN.
WE'RE NEARING THE HOME STRETCH.
THERE'S SO MANY FEATURES
GOING INTO THIS BUILD.
I WANT TO MAKE IT USER FRIENDLY.
AND SO WE'VE GOT TO
AUTOMATE IT ALL.
SO I BROUGHT IN MY BUDDY, JOHN.
HE'S GONNA HELP ME COME UP WITH
THE BEST SYSTEM FOR THIS POOL.
SO CYNTHIA AND TERRY ARE GOING
TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL
THIS POOL BASICALLY FROM ANY
SMARTPHONE, ANY TABLET.
AS LONG AS THEY'VE GOT
AN INTERNET CONNECTION,
THEY'RE GONNA HAVE ACCESS TO
THIS SWIMMING POOL.
LIGHT COLOR, THE SPEED OF
THE PUMP, THE HEAT OF THE SPA.
AH, MAN, THAT'S SUPER SWEET.
THE GREAT THING ABOUT THIS
AUTOMATION SYSTEM IS IT'S NOT
JUST A REMOTE LIKE MOST OF 'EM.
THIS ONE, YOU CAN CONTROL
FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
SO EVEN WHEN TERRY AND CYNTHIA
ARE BACK IN CANADA,
THEY CAN STILL CONTROL
THEIR HOUSE.
IT'S COME A LONG WAYS.
I MEAN, FROM THE DAYS OF COMING
OUT HERE AND HAVING TO REMEMBER
WHICH WAY TO TURN THE VALVES.
YOU GUYS ROCK, MAN.
[ LAUGHS ]
THIS IS THE LAST DAY
OF THE BUILD.
IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE
THE SPACE COMPLETED.
OH, WOW. YOU KNOW,
WHEN I WAS AT EMERSON POINT,
THERE WERE ALL THESE
TREES WITH, LIKE,
ROOTS KIND OF GROWING OVER
EACH OTHER.
AND I WAS THINKING THAT WAS JUST
SUCH A COOL THING,
AND I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FOUND
SOMETHING THAT KIND OF
REPLICATES THAT.
YEP. AND IT UNDULATES.
YEAH, I HEAR THAT'S
YOUR FAVORITE WORD.
WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT MY FRIEND,
CELESTE,
SHE SPECIALIZES
IN RECLAIMED NATURAL ELEMENTS
THAT ARE ARTISTIC AND FUNCTIONAL
FOR OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES.
YEAH, THIS IS PRETTY MUCH LIKE
CYNTHIA'S PANKIW PARADISE LOGO.
IT'S GOT THE PALMS ON IT.
RIGHT.
THEY'RE GONNA LOVE THIS.
DON'T DRAG IT ON THAT.
I'M NOT DRAGGING.
I'M PICKING IT UP.
YOU'RE THE ONE
THAT'S DRAGGING IT.
LUCAS.
HEY. WHAT'S UP, RAY?
I BROUGHT YOU SOMETHING
REALLY GREAT.
IT'S SOME WOVEN WICKER
WITH AN OYSTER GRAY COLOR
WITH A REALLY NICE WEAVE
THAT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO ACCENT
WHAT YOU DID.
NICE.
LET ME GRAB MY GUYS, AND LET'S
START UNLOADING THIS THING.
OKAY, WOMAN.
YEAH, WOMAN.
LET'S GO.
[ LAUGHS ]
DOESN'T THAT LOOK LIKE
STACKED BEACH PEBBLE?
IT'S GONNA GO SO WELL
WITH THAT THEME BACK THERE.
THERE'S SUCH A STUPENDOUS AMOUNT
OF WORK TO BE DONE,
BUT WE GET IT DONE ON SCHEDULE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW WE DO IT.
Lucas: AS EXCITED AS I AM TO
SHOW TERRY AND CYNTHIA
THIS PROJECT COMPLETED,
I'M NERVOUS, TOO.
I THINK I'VE CREATED
PANKIW'S PARADISE.
I HOPE MY VERSION OF PARADISE
MATCHES UP TO THEIRS.
ALL RIGHT, TERRY AND CYNTHIA.
THIS IS THE MOMENT WE'VE ALL
BEEN WAITING FOR.
I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS.
HOW ARE YOU GUYS FEELING?
THE LAST TIME WE LEFT IT,
THERE WAS JUST A BIG HOLE
IN THE GROUND.
ALL RIGHT. 1, 2, 3...
AS EXCITED AS I AM TO SHOW
TERRY AND CYNTHIA
THEIR NEW BACKYARD,
I'M ALSO A LITTLE NERVOUS.
I WAS CHALLENGED WITH BUILDING
PANKIW'S PARADISE,
BUT NOT THE WAY
I NORMALLY WOULD.
WE DON'T WANT BOULDERS
BLOCKING THE VIEW.
Lucas: WITH NO BIG ROCKS
AND NO LAGOONS,
THIS JOB IS WAY DIFFERENT THAN
ANYTHING THAT I'VE DONE BEFORE.
TERRY AND CYNTHIA'S BACKYARD
WAS SCREAMING FOR A REMODEL.
WE HAD SOME SETBACKS
FROM THE BEGINNING...
WHOO. YEAH.
WHAT THE HELL?
SOME IN THE MIDDLE...
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
GUYS, GUYS.
JUST PUT THOSE ROCKS BACK.
GET 'EM ALL OUT OF HERE.
BUT EVENTUALLY,
IT ALL CAME TOGETHER.
IT'S A WINNER.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW
TERRY AND CYNTHIA
THEIR NEW PANKIW'S PARADISE.
ALL RIGHT, TERRY AND CYNTHIA.
THIS IS THE MOMENT
WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR.
I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS.
HOW ARE YOU GUYS FEELING?
I'M NERVOUS.
OH, YEAH.
WAITING TO GET THOSE BLINDS UP.
[ LAUGHING ]
THE LAST TIME WE LEFT IT, IT - -
THERE WAS JUST A BIG HOLE
IN THE GROUND.
AND NOW, WE'RE BACK,
SO I'M REALLY EXCITED
TO GET IN THAT BACKYARD
TO SEE PANKIW'S PARADISE.
I DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE IT,
THOUGH,
UNTIL THE SHADES ARE ALL
THE WAY UP.
SO TURN AROUND,
AND WHEN I TELL YOU, LOOK BACK.
LET'S DO IT.
OKAY. SOUNDS GOOD.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S DO IT.
[ BLINDS WHIRRING ]
ALL RIGHT.
1, 2, 3... TURN AROUND.
AND WELCOME TO
PANKIW'S PARADISE.
WHOA!
OH, MY...
WOW.
COOL.
THIS IS AMAZING.
THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
NICE.
WHEN I FIRST CAME HERE,
THEY WANTED ME TO JUST ADD
A HOT TUB TO THIS UGLY POOL.
I HOPE THEY AGREE THAT THIS VIEW
WITH THE TRANSFORMATION IS
TOTALLY AN UPGRADE FROM THAT
UGLY POOL THEY HAD BEFORE.
IT'S FANTASTIC.
LOOK, LOOK, LOOK.
BEAUTIFUL.
SO I WENT TO
EMERSON POINT HERE.
I SAW SOME BEACH PEBBLES THERE,
AND THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED THAT
AS THE WATER WASHES OVER
THOSE PEBBLES, IT'S GONNA LOOK
JUST LIKE THE BAY.
YOU KNOW HOW YOU GET THAT
RIPPLING EFFECT?
SO, YOU SEE HOW IT LOOKS LIKE
WAY OUT THERE,
HOW THE WATER DOES THAT?
RIGHT, RIGHT.
YOU KNOW,
TO GET THAT INFINITY EDGE LOOK,
WE TOTALLY ELIMINATED
THAT COLUMN, OPENED UP THE VIEW,
GOT RID OF THE UGLY CAGE.
AND, I MEAN, LOOK AT NOW.
Cynthia: I HAVE NO IDEA HOW HE
MANAGED TO CREATE IT,
BUT HE'S ACTUALLY
ENHANCED OUR VIEW.
REMEMBER, I TURNED AROUND
AND I SAID TO YOU, I SAYS,
WHEN I WALK OUTSIDE AND IF THE
HAIR WAS STANDING UP ON MY ARM,
I SAID,
"WHAT A FANTASTIC JOB."
YEAH?
WELL, FEEL IT.
HEY.
IT'S LIKE A BEAR.
FANTASTIC.
SO COME OVER HERE.
THERE'S SO MUCH MORE
TO SHOW YOU.
ALL RIGHT, YOU GUYS REMEMBER
THAT OLD DECK THAT WAS ROTTING
AND FALLING APART?
YEAH.
AND HOW IT WAS REALLY CRAMPED?
NOW YOU'VE GOT THIS BEAUTIFUL
UPPER-LEVEL DECK AREA
OFF YOUR MASTER BEDROOM.
YOU CAN COME OUT HERE,
LOOK OUT AT THE BAY.
IT'S JUST ANOTHER GREAT SPACE.
THAT'S PERFECT.
IT'S USEFUL NOW.
YEAH, WE GOT THIS GREAT SPACE IF
YOU WANT TO BE OUT HERE AND TAN,
AND THEN YOU GOT THE WHOLE
SUN SHELF AREA.
Cynthia: I LOVE THE SUN SHELF.
IT'S HUGE.
LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE
WE CAN FIT IN THERE.
AND THEN, IN THE MIDDLE,
YOU GOT THIS, LIKE, LAP POOL,
BASICALLY.
YOU CAN SWIM BACK AND FORTH.
AND THEN, OF COURSE, THESE COOL
LOUNGER CHAIRS IN THE WATER
WHERE YOU CAN LAY IN THERE
AND LOOK BACK OUT
AT THE BAY VIEW HERE.
EVERYTHING IS JUST BEAUTIFUL.
AND IT'S THE FLORIDA LOOK.
SO EVEN THOUGH WE DIDN'T USE BIG
BOULDERS TO CREATE GROTTOS
AND WATERFALLS, I DID SNEAK
A COUPLE OF BIG PIECES IN HERE.
WE GOT THIS NATIVE FLORIDA
OOLITE, AND WHEN YOU CUT IT,
IT LOOKS LIKE CORAL.
THERE'S ACTUALLY A FIRE RING
INSIDE OF IT. SO IT'S PROPANE.
YOU CAN HAVE JUST A LITTLE
FLAME, OR YOU CAN TURN IT UP.
I MEAN, THIS SUCKER WILL BURN UP
THIS HIGH IF YOU WANT IT TO.
REALLY? COOL.
YEAH.
AND THEN WE HAVE THIS OTHER COOL
OOLITE FEATURE OVER HERE.
MONOLITHIC BOULDER PROTRUDING
OUT OF THE DARK WATER.
I THINK THE CONTRAST OF
THE LIGHT OOLITE
AND THE DARK BLUE
WATER IS MY FAVORITE.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
IT LOOKS LIKE
IT JUST CAME OUT OF NATURE.
I REALLY WANT TO TAKE YOU TO
YOUR FAVORITE THING,
WHICH IS
TERRY'S BAR AND GRILL OVER HERE.
LET'S GO CHECK IT OUT.
WELL, REMEMBER BEFORE ALL
YOU HAD WAS THIS SIGN,
TERRY'S DOCK & BAR.
HERE YOU GO. YOU GOT THIS
GREAT SPLIT-LEVEL BAR.
IT'S GOT ALL THE AMENITIES.
YOU GOT A SINK.
YOU GOT A GRILL RIGHT HERE.
BEAUTIFUL BARBECUE.
I MEAN, WHAT MORE
COULD YOU NEED OUT HERE?
THIS IS GREAT.
AH, THIS IS GREAT.
I GOT ONE MORE SURPRISE
FOR YOU.
WHAT'S THAT?
REMEMBER BEFORE
YOU WERE TELLING ME
HOW YOU LOVE TO WATCH
TV OUTSIDE,
SO YOU TURN THE FURNITURE AROUND
AND HAD TO TAKE THAT TV
AND KIND OF SWIVEL IT OUT?
WELL, CHECK THIS OUT.
NO WAY.
NO ONE WOULD EVEN KNOW
IT'S THERE.
WOW!
NOW YOU CAN WATCH TV
FROM OUTSIDE,
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH
ALL THAT NONSENSE ANYMORE.
YEAH, NO KIDDING.
THAT'S AWESOME.
YOU GUYS THINK
IT LOOKS GOOD NOW.
CAN'T WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE WHAT
PANKIW'S PARADISE
LOOKS LIKE AT NIGHT.
NOW THAT IT'S DARK,
IT ALL STARTS WITH THE BAR.
OH, WOW.
WOW.
LOOK HOW GORGEOUS THIS QUARTZ
CRYSTAL TOP IS THAT'S BLENDING
IN WITH THE GRANITE.
THEN YOU TURN
THE LIGHT OFF...
OH, WOW.
AND IT REALLY SHINES.
WOW. IS THAT NICE, EH?
THAT'S NICE.
BEAUTIFUL.
I KNOW WHEN YOU GUYS
COME DOWN HERE,
YOU LOVE TO HANG OUT TOGETHER,
BUT YOU ALSO LOVE TO ENTERTAIN.
SO YOU GUYS CAN JUST JUMP INTO
YOUR NEW HOT TUB,
AND LET ME SHOW YOU HOW PANKIW'S
PARADISE COMES ALIVE AT NIGHT.
WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU
TO SAY THAT ALL DAY.
SO I'LL GO AHEAD
AND TURN ON THE LIGHTS.
GO AHEAD. WHOA.
LOOK AT THAT.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY MAKE IT
ANY COLOR THAT YOU WANT
FROM YOUR SMARTPHONE
OR TABLET.
YOU CAN DO,
LIKE, PARTY MODE.
ISN'T THAT COOL?
THAT'S AMAZING.
THE ONE THING I'M MOST EXCITED
ABOUT THAT - - THAT JUST TAKES
THIS WHOLE DESIGN TO THE NEXT
LEVEL, CHECK THIS OUT.
WOW.
LET THERE BE FIRE!
YEAH!
I THOUGHT THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL
DURING THE DAY, BUT THIS JUST - -
THIS JUST BLOWS IT AWAY.
THIS IS TRULY A WORK OF ART.
THAT'S MUSIC TO MY EARS.
PUT THE TUNES ON.
I THINK YOU'VE GOT TO GET
IN THE POOL.
ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.
HERE'S SOME TUNES.
[ ROCK MUSIC PLAYING ]
HEY, ARE THERE STILL
CRABS IN HERE?
[ LAUGHTER ]
Cynthia: IT'S JUST
INCREDIBLE WHAT HE'S DONE,
AND WE DON'T EVER NEED TO
GO BACK IN THE HOUSE.
I- I MEAN,
THIS - - THIS IS HOME.
THIS IS OUR DREAM.
YEAH.
All: TO PANKIW'S PARADISE!
YEAH!
YAY!
[ LAUGHS ]
OWNER OF LUCAS LAGOONS,
AND WE'RE REVOLUTIONIZING
OUTDOOR LIVING
ONE BACKYARD AT A TIME.
MY GOAL IS TO CREATE
A JAW-DROPPING,
OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD
PARADISE.
[ SAW WHIRRING ]
OH, ****!
AGH!
A LUCAS LAGOONS PROJECT ISN'T
JUST A POOL, IT'S AN EXPERIENCE.
COME ON OUT.
THIS IS INCREDIBLE. WOW.
I WANNA CRY.
IT'S, LIKE, BEAUTIFUL.
OH, MY GOD.
I HOPE YOU'RE CRYING WITH JOY.
YES.
MY JOB IS TO TAKE THEIR DREAMS
AND MAKE THEM BIGGER
THAN THEY COULD EVER IMAGINE.
IT'S ALWAYS A WILD RIDE
WITH LUCAS LAGOONS.
CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS
SO I'M GOING TO MEET
THE PANKIWS, TERRY AND CYNTHIA.
THEY'RE FROM CANADA.
THEY LIVE ON SNEAD ISLAND.
IT'S LOCATED ON
THE WEST COAST OF FLORIDA,
JUST SOUTH OF TAMPA BAY.
THEY WANT ME TO CHANGE OUT
THE DECK AND ADD A SPA,
BUT I HAVE A FEELING THAT
IT'S GONNA BE MORE THAN THAT.
IT ALWAYS IS.
I'M TERRY PANKIW.
I'M FROM CANADA.
I'M IN
THE CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS,
AND WE BOUGHT THIS HOUSE ABOUT
4, 4 1/2 YEARS AGO.
I JUST LOVE FLORIDA.
I LOVE BOATING.
I'M ON THE WATER.
IT'S A LOT BETTER THAN LIVING UP
THERE IN THE SNOW.
LUCAS, THIS IS, UH, CYNTHIA.
HI.
HI, LUCAS.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
YEAH, YOU, TOO.
LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT
A 180-DEGREE VIEW.
THIS IS INSANE.
IN THE MORNINGS, WE GET UP,
AND WE HAVE COFFEE HERE,
AND THERE'S DOLPHINS
JUMPING IN THE BAY.
OH, YEAH.
THERE'S MANATEES THAT COME
RIGHT UP OUR CANAL.
I CAN TELL YOU GUYS WANT TO DO
SOME REMODELING BACK HERE.
IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATCH
THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSE.
Terry:
BACKYARD IS DATED.
THAT'S OUR NEXT PROJECT,
TO CLEAN UP OUR BACKYARD.
Cynthia:
WE DO EVERYTHING OUTSIDE.
WE USE IT AS AN EXTENSION
OF OUR HOUSE.
WE NEED TO FINISH MAKING
PANKIW'S PARADISE.
THIS IS OUR PARADISE.
SO YOU GUYS BASICALLY
LIVE OUTDOORS.
HOW DOES THAT WORK?
HOW DO YOU OPEN THIS UP
AND SEE YOUR TV FROM OUT HERE?
OH, NICE. THEY ALL COMPLETELY
POCKET IN, HUH?
THEY POCKET RIGHT INTO THE WALL.
OH, WOW.
AND THEN,
THIS IS MY OWN INVENTION.
THERE YOU GO.
AND OF COURSE,
NOW WE CAN SIT OUT...
WE - - WE SIT OUTSIDE HERE,
RIGHT?
YEAH.
AND WE WATCH TV.
SO TERRY SHOWS ME JUST HOW MUCH
HE LOVES TO BE OUTDOORS.
IT'S RIDICULOUS THAT HE HAS TO
MOVE HIS FURNITURE AROUND
EVERY TIME
AND TURN THE TV INSIDE.
IF HE'S WILLING TO GO THROUGH
ALL THAT EFFORT,
I MIGHT AS WELL DO SOMETHING
AMAZING OUTDOORS
WHERE HE DOESN'T HAVE TO
MOVE ANYTHING.
HE CAN JUST SIT OUT THERE,
FEEL LIKE HE'S GOT EVERYTHING
IN ONE COHESIVE DESIGN
AND UNIQUE SPACE.
ALL RIGHT, WELL,
I THINK I'M PICKING UP
WHAT YOU'RE THROWING DOWN.
I MEAN, I'M LOVING THE VIEW.
I'M LOVING, YOU KNOW,
BRINGING THE OUTSIDE IN
AND THE INSIDE OUT.
YOU KNOW, I SEE YOU'VE GOT
TERRY'S DOCK & BAR,
BUT WHERE'S THE BAR, TERRY?
YOU GOT STUFF FALLING OFF
THE WALLS HERE.
GOT THE SUPER DATED BRICK.
BASICALLY RIP OUT ALL THAT.
WE REALLY WANTED A NEW DECK
AND A HOT TUB.
THAT'S ALL WE WERE THINKING
AT THE TIME.
OF COURSE, YOU CAN SEE THAT
WE HAVE A HOT TUB OVER THERE
THAT WE WANT TO GET RID OF.
OBVIOUSLY, IT DOESN'T WORK.
THE PUMP'S SITTING RIGHT THERE.
TRYING TO PUT A CONCRETE HOT TUB
ONTO AN EXISTING FIBERGLASS
SHELL IS JUST NOT GONNA WORK.
THE CONCRETE DOESN'T WANT TO
STICK TO THE FIBERGLASS,
SO YOU'RE ALWAYS GONNA HAVE
THIS ISSUE OF IT
CRACKING RIGHT AROUND HERE.
WITHIN 10 SECONDS,
LUCAS EXPANDED ON IT.
THE SCREEN FROM EVERY ANGLE IS
JUST KIND OF KILLING YOUR VIEW.
ALL THE SCREWS ARE RUSTED.
AND THEN,
HE KEPT EXPANDING ON IT.
A LITTLE BIT OF CHALKY WHITE
ON MY FINGERS.
YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT GONNA BE
WORTH PUTTING THE MONEY INTO
REDOING THIS WHOLE AREA
AND THEN A YEAR OR TWO FROM NOW,
THIS WHOLE THING IS
JUST BREAKING DOWN.
I THINK FOR SURE JUST RIP OUT
THE ENTIRE DECK,
THE ENTIRE POOL, AND LET'S JUST
START OVER WITH A CLEAN SLATE.
AND WE WERE LIKE,
OKAY, SLOW DOWN.
I CAN TELL THAT THE PANKIWS
THINK I'M JUST TRYING TO BE LIKE
A USED CAR SALESMAN AND TRY TO
GET THEM FOR MORE MONEY.
IF I COULD SAVE THE POOL,
I WOULD.
BUT THIS IS NOT GONNA WORK.
SO I'M JUMPIN' IN
SO I CAN SHOW THEM.
LOOK, I THINK I EVEN SEE
A LEAK DOWN THERE.
OH, MY GOD.
WHOA.
WHAT - - WHAT'S HE DOING?
THIS GUY KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING,
RIGHT?
DUDE, COME DOWN HERE.
[ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ]
[ LAUGHING ]
SO I GET IN THE POOL,
AND I'M GLAD TERRY'S IN THERE
WITH ME
BECAUSE HE COULD TOUCH AND FEEL
AND SEE WHAT I SEE.
HOLD ON ONE SEC.
THE FIRST THING I NOTICE IS
THERE'S A LEAK
IN THE BOTTOM OF THE POOL,
AND THERE'S SO MUCH SALTWATER
COMING INTO THE POOL
FROM THE OCEAN
THAT THERE'S ACTUALLY CRABS
LIVING DOWN THERE.
DID I GET 'EM?
YEP.
I'M GOING 'ROUND
AND CHECKING THE RETURNS.
THIS ONE'S NOT EVEN WORKING.
SO NOW, I KNOW
THERE'S PLUMBING ISSUES.
AND THEN, I START PUSHING ON
ONE PART OF THE WALL...
YOU CAN FEEL THAT FIBERGLASS
IS DETERIORATING.
SO YOU GUYS ARE TELLING ME
YOU WANT PANKIW'S PARADISE.
SO FAR, YOU'VE GOT
A CRAB-INFESTED POOL.
I DON'T THINK
THAT'S A GOOD START.
THIS IS A GORGEOUS SETTING,
BUT THIS POOL AND THIS CAGE IS
NOT DOING IT ANY JUSTICE.
I THINK I'VE CONVINCED THEM NOW
THAT WE'VE GOT TO RIP IT OUT,
SO NOW I CAN START WITH
A CLEAN SLATE.
AND I REALLY WANT TO CREATE
SOMETHING THAT ALLOWS YOU TO
LIVE OUTDOORS COMFORTABLY.
MAYBE OVER IN THE CORNER HERE,
IT WOULD BE COOL TO DO, LIKE,
A ROCK GROTTO OR SOMETHING
WHERE YOU SWIM UNDERNEATH IT.
NO.
NO.
WE DON'T TO GO
WITH ANY ROCK.
ANY KIND OF ROCK WORK.
I MEAN,
WHAT AM I DOING HERE?
I'M THE ROCK GUY.
WE DON'T WANT BOULDERS
BLOCKING THE VIEW.
WE WANT TO KEEP A SOLID,
CLEAR VIEW.
GOTCHA, SO, YOU'RE NOT
LOOKING TO BUILD A FEATURE?
THE FEATURE IS THE NATURE
AROUND HERE,
AND YOU WANT SOMETHING THAT JUST
KIND OF BLENDS IN SEAMLESSLY?
YES.
OKAY.
AND WE WANNA GO MORE FOR
THE BEACH-Y FLORIDIAN FEEL
DOWN HERE.
WE WERE PRESENTING
A CHALLENGE TO HIM.
WHEN YOU GIVE AN ARTIST
A CHALLENGE,
YOU'RE GONNA GET A GOOD JOB.
WHAT ABOUT EVEN, LIKE,
WHITE BEACH PEBBLES?
YES.
OKAY.
AS THEY WERE EXPLAINING TO ME
WHAT THEY WANT, I MEAN,
I'M GETTING IT.
THEY WANT JUST SOMETHING REALLY
UNDERSTATED, CLEAN, SLEEK.
I JUST DON'T WANT IT
TO BE BORING.
I MEAN, IT'S GOT TO HAVE
THAT LUCAS FACTOR.
IF WE START WITH A NEW POOL,
WE COULD DO, LIKE,
A BIG SUN SHELF
ACROSS THE BACK THERE,
MAKE THE POOL BIGGER.
YOU KNOW, DOING, LIKE,
A SHALLOW BEACH AREA
WHERE YOU CAN
HAVE YOUR CHAIRS IN THE WATER
AND KIND OF SUNBATHE.
THEN, WE DO THE TRAVERTINES.
DO A NICE ELEVATED SPA SO THAT
IT GOES WATER TO WATER
SO IT GIVES YOU THAT
INFINITY EDGE
AND LOOK LIKE
IT'S SPILLING INTO THE BAY.
OH, THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
AND THEY DO WANT TO DO
AN OUTDOOR KITCHEN.
WE'D - - WE'D WANT TO PUT
A BARBECUE...
WE NEED A SINK.
SINK.
YOU KNOW,
AND A - - AND A FRIDGE.
SO, YOU NEED QUITE A BIT OF
CABINET SPACE, THEN?
YEAH, WE SHOULD HAVE
A TWO-TIER BAR.
SO, SPLIT-LEVEL?
SO THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY RIGHT
THERE TO DO SOME KIND OF
REALLY EXOTIC BAR TOP,
MAYBE LIGHT IT FROM UNDERNEATH.
WOULDN'T THAT BE COOL?
YEAH, I WOULD BE OVER HERE
ALL THE TIME.
YEAH, YEAH. RIGHT.
I'M SO EXCITED
TERRY AND CYNTHIA
WENT FOR THE WHOLE
BACKYARD REMODEL.
THIS WILL BE A 6-WEEK PROJECT
WITH A BUDGET OF $140,000.
I CAN'T WAIT TO BUILD IT
FOR YOU GUYS.
IT'S GONNA LOOK GOOD.
WHEN THIS PROJECT IS FINISHED,
I WANT TO WALK INTO
THAT BACKYARD,
AND I WANT MY HAIR
TO STAND UP ON MY ARMS.
THIS IS AN EXCITING DAY BECAUSE
WE START THE PANKIW DEMOLITION.
THE FIRST THING WE GOT TO DEMO
IS THE UGLY CAGE.
A CAGE IS BASICALLY
A SCREEN ENCLOSURE.
IN FLORIDA,
WE GET A LOT OF BUGS.
A POOL CAGE WORKS GREAT
IF THERE'S NO HOLES IN IT.
THE PANKIWS' IS FULL OF HOLES.
I WANT TO TAKE THAT DOWN
AND OPEN UP THE VIEW.
THE BEST WAY TO TAKE DOWN A CAGE
IS JUST UNSCREWING EVERYTHING
AND CAREFULLY DISASSEMBLING IT
SO YOU CAN RECYCLE IT.
HEY.
THERE YOU ARE, CAPTAIN.
HEY. WHAT'S UP, MAN?
I SEE YOU'RE WORKING.
DON'T GIVE ME THAT
"SEE I'M WORKING."
OH, YOU GOT A LONG WAY
TO GO HERE.
NO, ACTUALLY, YOU DO.
I THINK CRASH IS GONNA BE
THE PERFECT GUY
TO TAKE THIS CAGE DOWN ASAP.
WELL, EVERY TIME I SHOW UP,
YOU DISAPPEAR.
WELL, THAT WAY,
THE JOB SITE IS NEVER LONELY.
AND ACTUALLY, HERE'S A BONUS.
YOU TAKE OUT ALL THE SCREWS,
WE RECYCLE IT,
I'LL LET YOU GET
THE RECYCLING MONEY.
OH, THAT WORKS.
I CAN DEAL WITH THAT.
I MEAN, I - - THAT'S ALL MY JOB
IS, IS DESTROY STUFF,
RIP STUFF DOWN...
THERE'S, LIKE, 4 MILLION SCREWS
IN THIS POOL CAGE.
I'M GONNA BE HERE ALL DAY.
THEY CALL ME "CRASH"
FOR A REASON.
I LIKE JUST WRECKIN' STUFF.
YOU KNOW WHAT,
I GOT A BETTER WAY TO DO THIS.
THIS THING'S GOING TO GET
RECYCLED ANYWAYS,
SO IT DOESN'T MATTER
IF IT COMES NICE AND NEAT
OR ALL CRUNCHED UP.
MOVE IT, AND I'M DONE.
OH, YEAH.
THIS IS MUCH EASIER
THAN A SCREW GUN.
THAT'S HOW WE DESTROY STUFF.
Lucas: NOW THAT CRASH HAS GOTTEN
RID OF THIS UGLY CAGE,
IT'S TIME TO BRING IN THE CREW,
KIND OF LAY OUT THE GROUNDWORK
ON WHAT THE PLAN IS
TO TRANSFORM THIS BACKYARD.
SO HERE'S THE KICKER
TO THIS JOB.
NORMALLY, WE CAN JUST BLOW
PEOPLE AWAY WITH OUR AWESOME
ROCK ARTISTRY.
WE'RE ACTUALLY NOT ALLOWED
TO DO ANY ROCK WORK.
IT'S LIKE TAKIN' A KID TO
THE CANDY STORE
AND NOT LETTING HIM
HAVE ANY CANDY.
WHAT THE HECK ARE WE GONNA DO?
OLD MAN IS, UH, A LOT MORE LOST
THAN HE USUALLY IS ON A JOB.
THEY WANT SOMETHING
THAT FEELS LIKE NO MAINTENANCE,
JUST KIND OF ZEN AND SERENE.
SO, THEY WANT TO DO IT, LIKE,
BROOKLYN STYLE AND JUST CONCRETE
THE WHOLE BACKYARD?
[ LAUGHTER ]
ME, ON THE OTHER HAND, UH,
I'M FINE WITH NOT MIXING
SO MUCH CEMENT.
SO, YOU'RE SAYING WE'RE NOT
BUILDING ANYTHING WITH ROCK,
BUT WE CAN STILL USE ROCK?
BEING THE LEAD STONEMASON,
YOU KNOW, IT'S - -
IT'S A CHALLENGE FOR ME.
EVERYONE DESERVES
SOMETHING SPECIAL,
AND I THINK WE CAN COME UP
WITH SOME KIND OF
MONOLITHIC ROCK SCULPTURE
IN THE CORNER
THAT'S MORE OF A MINIMALIST
MODERN STYLE.
YEAH, IT MIGHT BE NICE TO HAVE
A-A LITTLE BREAK.
LET'S - -
LET'S HAVE A MOMENT OF ZEN.
♪♪ AH ♪♪
ALL RIGHT, NOW GET THE POWER
TOOLS OUT, MAKE NOISE!
BAM.
[ GROANING ]
[ SAW WHIRRING ]
Lucas: I GOT WOMAN TAKING OUT
THE TILES
THAT GO AROUND
THE BASEBOARD OF THE HOUSE.
I GOT OLD MAN CUTTING AROUND
THE COLUMNS.
I GOT SUNSHINE WORKING ON
RIPPING OUT THE WOODEN DECK.
I'M ON THE SKID LOADER.
AND THEN,
I GOT CRASH ON THE EXCAVATOR.
WHOO. YEAH.
WHEN I'M IN THE EXCAVATOR,
I TRY NOT TO PAY ATTENTION TO
WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE IS DOING.
I'M IN MY A/C COCOON.
I MEAN, I LIKE MY A/C LAND.
AND I'VE STARTED RIPPING UP
THE DECK.
OF COURSE, HE'S GOT TO LIVE UP
TO HIS NAME.
OH, ****!
ALL OF THE SUDDEN,
I HIT A PIPE.
WHAT THE HELL?
I JUST CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS DAY
TO BE OVER WITH
AND TO START THE NEXT DAY.
WHAT THE HELL?
WE'RE IN WEEK ONE
DOING DEMOLITION,
AND OF COURSE CRASH
IS HAVING A DIFFICULT CRASH DAY.
HIT A PIPE AND I WAS LIKE,
"THAT WAS MY FAULT ONCE AGAIN."
IF IT'S NOT ONE THING,
IT'S ANOTHER.
WELL, LET'S JUST TURN THEIR
MAIN LINE TO THEIR HOUSE OFF.
I MEAN, I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE
THAT I WOULD THINK THAT HE WOULD
ACTUALLY BE CAREFUL.
NOT ONLY AM I A PERFECTIONIST,
BUT WE GOT TERRY WATCHING US.
I MEAN, HE'S BEEN IN
CONSTRUCTION HIS WHOLE LIFE,
SO HE KNOWS THAT
SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT.
DO I HAVE TO MOVE
THE BOAT FOR YOU?
NO, I THINK IT'S OUT OF RANGE.
JUST 'CAUSE MY NAME IS CRASH
DOESN'T MEAN
I JUST PURPOSELY WRECK THINGS.
JUST SEEMED LIKE TODAY EVERYBODY
WAS JUST PICKING ON ME.
WELL, DO YOU KNOW HOW TO
RUN THIS THING?
MY FIRST - -
MY FIRST DAY ON IT.
WELL, MAYBE I SHOULD RUN IT.
CRASH, I MEAN, YEAH. HE'S - -
THAT'S A GOOD NAME FOR THAT GUY.
I DON'T WANT TO HIT
NO MORE THINGS.
DONE DESTROYING STUFF.
BUT HE DOES GET THE JOB DONE,
SO AS LONG AS HE DOESN'T WRECK
THE WHOLE HOUSE,
WE'RE IN GOOD HANDS.
THIS YOU COULD WRECK.
I'M-A TRY TO SAVE THIS.
LUCAS, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
COME ON, CHRIS.
GET ON THIS THING.
[ LAUGHTER ]
YEE-HAW!
WHOA!
GONNA GO MOVE MY BOAT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM TERRY,
WE FINISHED PULLING OUT
ALL THOSE OLD TILES.
YEAH, YOU ANIMAL.
AND WE TOOK OUT THAT RATTY,
OLD CONCRETE DECK.
TEARIN' OUT THE CONCRETE,
IT'S - - IT'S BACKBREAKING WORK.
ALL SO DUSTY.
WE WANNA FINISH THAT UP
AND THEN, UH,
YANK THE FIBERGLASS POOL OUT.
WE'LL MAKE IT HAPPEN.
WHOO.
WHOA.
YEAH! WE'RE READY FOR ACTION.
IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE ABOUT READY
TO TRY TO GET THIS WHOLE POOL
SHELL OUT OF HERE.
LUCAS HATES ANYTHING
THAT'S NOT A CONCRETE POOL - -
FIBERGLASS LINERS,
I MEAN, THERE'S ALWAYS
SOME KIND OF PROBLEM.
YOU'RE LIMITED TO
SOMEBODY ELSE'S DESIGN.
THEY FALL APART
WITHIN 15 TO 20 YEARS.
AND A CONCRETE POOL
COULD LAST FOREVER.
UH, SUNSHINE, I'M SORRY, BUT IT
DIDN'T LOOK LIKE WE WERE REALLY
ABLE TO SAVE IT FOR YOU.
I KNOW YOU HAD DREAMS OF
STICKING THIS IN YOUR YARD.
I SAY TWO PIECES, AND CHRIS RIPS
IT OUT 'CAUSE THAT'S...
AH, I'M GONNA LET HIM
RIP IT OUT.
OH, I'D LOVE TO, BUT I KNOW
CRASH GETS JEALOUS.
[ LAUGHS ]
SINCE I'VE ALREADY DID
SO MUCH DAMAGE ALREADY,
I'LL LET THE BOSS DO IT.
SO IF HE MESSES UP,
THEN IT'S ALL ON HIM
AND I CAN YELL AT HIM.
THERE YOU GO.
SEE, LOOK AT THAT.
HEY.
LOOK AT THAT.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO NOW?
[ GROWLS ]
[ LAUGHS ]
NOW THAT THE UGLY FIBERGLASS
POOL SHELL'S OUT OF THERE,
NOTHING'S GONNA STOP US
FROM CREATING PANKIW'S PARADISE.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
WELL, THERE MIGHT BE
ONE THING - - RAIN.
AND WE GET A LOT OF IT HERE
IN FLORIDA.
NOW, IT'S ONE THING TO BE
WORKING OUT IN THE RAIN.
IT'S ANOTHER THING TO BE OUT
THERE WHEN THERE'S HUGE STRIKES
OF LIGHTNING.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN REALLY
DO ABOUT IT BUT WAIT IT OUT
AND HOPE IT STOPS.
UH, HEY, GUYS. GET OVER HERE.
WE GOT SOME CAVE-INS
FROM THE RAIN LAST NIGHT.
LOOK, IT LOOKS LIKE IT FILLED UP
ABOUT 2 FEET, DOESN'T IT?
LOOKS LIKE QUICKSAND.
IT SLID IN A LITTLE BIT.
WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF
RAIN HERE.
WE GOT TO GET THE SITUATION
UNDER CONTROL
BECAUSE IF THAT
GROUND STARTS GIVING,
IT'S GONNA START UNDERMINING
THE FOOTER
THAT'S HOLDING UP THE COLUMN
THAT'S HOLDING UP THE ROOF.
WE GOT TO GET THIS SOLID ENOUGH
TO GET THE EXCAVATOR
DOWN IN THERE.
I CAN'T QUITE TELL.
IT LOOKS REALLY SOFT,
BUT MAYBE CRASH OR SOMEBODY
CAN JUMP DOWN IN THERE
AND SEE HOW BAD IT IS.
SEND THE HEAVY GUY IN THERE TO
GO SEE IF IT'S - -
YEAH.
OF COURSE, ME,
I-I LIKE PLAYING IN MUD.
I'LL - - I'LL VOLUNTEER.
I'M GOOD TO GO.
I- I DON'T MIND GETTING
A LITTLE DIRTY.
All: OH!
OH, IT'S A LITTLE MUD ANGEL.
CHRIS JUST VOLUNTEERED LIKE THE
SUPERHERO THAT HE THINKS HE IS
TO COME TO THE RESCUE.
OH, MAN.
THAT IS WICKED WET.
THAT EXCAVATOR'S NOT
GETTIN' OUT OF THERE.
ACTUALLY, LIKE, ALMOST LOSE
A MACHINE DOWN IN THESE HOLES.
[ LAUGHS ]
CHRIS HAS BEEN WITH LUCAS - -
HE'S, LIKE, HIS BEST FRIEND
FROM DAY ONE.
HE'D DO ANYTHING FOR LUCAS.
I'M COMING OUT OF MY HOME.
NOBODY GIVE HIM A HAND.
HE'S ALL DIRTY. HE'S ALL DIRTY.
I GOT GLOVES ON.
GET THE HOSE. HOSE HIM DOWN.
WE ALL GIVE EACH OTHER
A HARD TIME,
BUT WE ALL LOVE EACH OTHER.
THERE HE GOES
IN THE WATER.
I THOUGHT IT WAS A MANATEE.
A MANATEE.
A LITTLE BABY BELUGA.
WILL YOU STOP SCREWING OFF
AND GET OVER HERE AND HELP?
[ SCREAMS ]
HE'S GONNA GET EATEN BY
A SHARK.
THANKS TO CRASH, WE NOW KNOW
THAT THE HOLE'S TOO WET
TO DRIVE THE EXCAVATOR DOWN
THERE AND KEEP DIGGING.
SO WHAT WE GOT TO DO
IS INSTALL A SUMP PUMP,
SUCK ALL THE WATER OUT, FILL IT
IN WITH SHELL TO DRY IT OUT.
IF WE DON'T GET ANY MORE RAIN
BY TOMORROW,
IT'LL BE DRY ENOUGH
THAT WE CAN KEEP DIGGING
THE PANKIWS' NEW POOL.
WELL, OUR LUCK'S HELD UP
AND THE RAIN'S HELD OFF.
THE HOLE'S DRY ENOUGH TO GET
THE EXCAVATOR BACK IN THERE
AND KEEP DIGGING THE POOL,
AND STAKING THE PERIMETER.
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART
OF THE BUILD.
YOU GOT TO GET IT LAID OUT
JUST RIGHT.
IF YOU'RE OVER AN INCH, IT CAN
MAKE YOU RIP THE WHOLE POOL OUT.
THIS IS ALL GOING TO BE
A GIANT SUN SHELF.
SO WE WANNA DIG THIS DOWN
2 FOOT.
SO, ALL THIS IS WHAT,
2 FEET DOWN?
YEAH.
IT'S DRAWN LIKE THE SUN SHELF
GETS REAL NARROW,
BUT WE GOT TO
LEAVE IT OUT AT LEAST 5, 6 FEET
SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY
WALK THROUGH HERE.
THEN, OVER HERE,
WE HAVE THE STEPS AND THIS BENCH
RIGHT THERE
WHERE THE SPA IS.
THE SPA IS CENTERED ON
THIS COLUMN HERE.
BUT I HATE THIS COLUMN.
I THINK WE NEED TO
JUST RIP IT OUT OF HERE.
MY PHILOSOPHY,
IF IT'S IN THE WAY OF PROGRESS,
I'M GONNA RUN IT OVER.
AND SO IT'S IN THE WAY,
IT'S GETTIN' DESTROYED.
WITH THAT COLUMN OUT OF THE WAY,
WE NOW HAVE THE LAYOUT FOR
PANKIW'S PARADISE.
[ BEEPING ]
WELL, WE'RE - - WE'RE ON OUR WAY
BACK TO CANADA TO - -
TOMORROW MORNING.
SO I'M GONNA LEAVE EVERYTHING
IN YOUR HANDS,
AND WHEN I COME BACK...
YEP.
RIGHT? I WANT TO SEE
PANKIW'S PARADISE HERE.
YOU GOT IT.
JUST LEAVE ME THE KEYS
TO THE BOAT,
AND THAT WAY
WHEN YOU'RE GONE
IF WE GET A HURRICANE
OR ANYTHING,
I CAN PUT IT UP IN DRY STORAGE
IN THE MARINA FOR YOU.
OKAY, GOOD. FANTASTIC.
GOOD, GOOD.
NOW THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING
WITH LUCAS FOR A LITTLE BIT,
WE - - WE KNOW HIS CHARACTER.
HE KEEPS POLITELY SUGGESTING
HIS ROCK WORK,
AND WE'RE A LITTLE BIT MORE
OPEN-MINDED NOW.
IF I LET YOU DO SOME ROCK WORK
HERE, HOW ARE YOU GONNA DO THIS?
I FEEL COMFORTABLE ON
LETTING HIM GO AHEAD
AND DOING SOME ROCK WORK.
I KNOW WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
THIS ROCK WITH THE WATER
COMING OUT OF IT.
WELL, I GOT TO TELL YOU,
THE WHOLE TIME
I'VE BEEN WORKING HERE,
GEARS HAVE BEEN TURNING
IN MY HEAD.
INSTEAD OF JUST DOING ONE SIMPLE
MONOLITHIC ROCK RIGHT HERE,
I THINK A NICE WEEPING
WATER WALL,
SOMETHING KIND OF
SIMPLE AND UNDERSTATED.
WE'LL DO IT ALL IN THIS AREA SO
THAT WAY YOU STILL MAINTAIN THAT
GORGEOUS VIEW ACROSS THE BAY.
PERFECT, YEAH, 3 FEET, YOU KNOW,
MORE OR LESS WOULD BE GREAT.
THE ROCK GODS
ARE SMILING UPON ME TODAY.
REMEMBER, KEEP IT FLORIDA.
I DON'T WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE
THE CANADIAN ROCKIES.
I'M LEAVING THIS TOTALLY
IN YOUR HANDS.
I'D SAY THANK YOU, PANKIW.
IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
PERFECT. THANKS, BUDDY.
ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL SEE YOU LATER.
BYE, DEAR.
WE'RE TRYING TO INSTALL THE
MONOLITH OF THE PANKIW BUILD,
BUT THE WEATHER
IS FIGHTING US ONCE AGAIN.
I MEAN, IT'S LIKE A MONSOON.
WE GOT LIGHTNING STRIKING
ALL AROUND US.
THIS IS NOT COOL,
AND IT'S NOT GONNA WORK.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
TERRY AND CYNTHIA HAVE LEFT
TO CANADA ON BUSINESS.
BUT BEFORE THEY LEFT,
THEY GAVE ME THE GREEN LIGHT TO
AT LEAST DO SOME ROCK WORK.
BUT BEFORE I CAN DO THAT,
WE GOT TO GET THE STEEL IN
AND THE SHOTCRETE SHOT.
ONCE WE GET THE REBAR IN PLACE,
YOU CAN REALLY SEE THE SKELETAL
STRUCTURE OF THE POOL.
I MEAN, YOU CAN SEE WHERE ALL
THE SUN SHELVES ARE,
THE WATER WALL,
THE STEPS, THE SPA.
I MEAN, THAT'S REALLY THE
BACKBONE OF THE WHOLE DESIGN.
[ MACHINE WHIRRING ]
WHEN WE'RE SHOOTING A NEW POOL
SHELL, WE ALWAYS USE SHOTCRETE.
IT'S A VERY STRONG MATERIAL.
SHOOTING TODAY PROBABLY
50 TO 60 YARDS OF SHOTCRETE.
THIS IS BASICALLY
THE FOUNDATION OF THE JOB.
Lucas: THIS POOL IS IN THE SAME
PLACE AS THE OLD POOL,
BUT IT'S MUCH LARGER
BECAUSE WE ADDED THIS HUGE SPA
AND THEN BUMPED THE WHOLE POOL
OUT ANOTHER 5 FEET.
WE'VE ALMOST DOUBLED THE SIZE OF
THE ORIGINAL POOL.
AND FOR THE INFINITY EDGE
ON THE SPA,
WE HAD TO GET THAT SPA BEAM
JUST PERFECTLY LEVEL
SO THE WATER WOULD EVENLY FLOW
OVER THE WHOLE THING.
AND BECAUSE THE SPA
IS ELEVATED 22 INCHES,
THAT WHOLE SPA BEAM IS LIKE ONE
BIG BENCH YOU CAN SIT ON.
OR YOU CAN GET INSIDE THERE
AND - - AND HANG OUT AND RELAX.
GET THIS LAST FORM OFF OF HERE,
JOHN,
AND SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
ONE OF THE OTHER
REALLY IMPORTANT FEATURES
FOR TERRY AND CYNTHIA'S
BACKYARD IS THE BAR AREA.
JUST LIKE OUR POOLS,
ANY OUTDOOR LIVING AREA
THAT WE CREATE
IS GOING TO REFLECT
THE CLIENTS' NEEDS,
AND IT'S GONNA BE FUN.
BECAUSE OF THE, UH,
SPACE LIMITATIONS,
WE HAD TO FREEFORM IT AND THEN
ACTUALLY POUR IN CONCRETE.
AND BECAUSE WE DID THAT,
WE ACTUALLY GOT A REALLY
BEAUTIFUL SHAPE.
GET IT OUT OF THE WAY.
JANE, WE CALL "WOMAN."
THAT'S LUCAS' MOM.
SHE'S THE HARDEST WORKING LADY
I'VE EVER MET.
I DON'T WANT MY WIFE
HEARING THAT ONE. [ LAUGHS ]
YEAH, AMAZED HOW THIS LITTLE
CORNER, UH, REALLY CAME THROUGH.
LUCAS HAD A GENIUS IDEA.
I DIDN'T THINK THERE WAS
ENOUGH ROOM TO DO ANYTHING.
THEY HAD THE LITTLE TABLE HERE.
AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
TOO TIGHT WITH THE SPA.
BUT THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM.
WE GOT A FRIDGE OVER HERE.
WE GOT THE GRILL
GOING UP HERE.
IT'S GONNA BE
A NICE LITTLE BAR.
WHAT BAR WOULD BE COMPLETE
WITHOUT A TV?
SO I CALLED IN MY BUDDY, FRANK,
HE'S AN A/V SPECIALIST,
TO FIGURE OUT
HOW WE CAN GET A NICE-SIZED TV
IN THIS SMALL SPACE.
FRANK, ANOTHER, UH,
A/V CHALLENGE FOR YOU HERE.
I SEE THAT.
I'M FRANK.
I'M THE A/V INTEGRATOR
FOR LUCAS LAGOONS.
AND WHEN LUCAS NEEDS A NICE
OUTDOOR SETUP, SOUND SYSTEM,
TV SYSTEM,
WE COME OUT AND WE HOOK IT UP.
I WANTED TO BRING YOU HERE SO
YOU COULD SEE HOW SERIOUS TERRY
WAS ABOUT HIS A/V STUFF.
THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE
A LIVING ROOM.
HE'S GOT IT KIND OF
ON A SWIVEL
'CAUSE THEY LOVE TO
LIVE OUTDOORS.
AND WHEN THEY'RE OUTSIDE,
THEY ACTUALLY OPEN THE SLIDERS
AND KIND OF TIP
THIS WHOLE THING OUT.
SEEMS LIKE A LOT
OF WORK TO GO THROUGH.
I THINK WE NEED TO BASICALLY
RECREATE THIS OUTDOORS
SOMEWHERE.
ALL RIGHT.
I CAN GET OUT THERE,
KIND OF LOOK THROUGH
THE LANDSCAPE,
SEE WHERE WE CAN PUT SPEAKERS,
WHAT SIZE TV WE COULD MOUNT
AT THE BAR THERE.
AND, UH, WE'LL GO FROM THERE.
WHILE FRANK'S SCOPING OUT
THE BAR TO FIGURE OUT
WHERE HE'S GONNA INSTALL
A COOL TV,
I'M GOING TO GO SEE A MAN
ABOUT A REALLY BIG ROCK.
I'VE HAD THIS COOL SLAB OF
OOLITE FROM FLORIDA,
AND I'VE BEEN WANTING TO DO
SOMETHING WITH IT FOR A WHILE.
I'M BRINGING IT HERE TO ROBERT
TODAY SO HE CAN HELP ME
COME UP WITH SOME IDEAS
OF WHAT WE CAN DO TO IT
TO MAKE IT JUST A PIECE
OF ART THAT STANDS ON ITS OWN.
BETWEEN ROBERT AND I
AND ALL HIS EQUIPMENT,
WE CAN COME UP
WITH SOMETHING REALLY COOL
AND UNIQUE FOR THE PANKIWS.
THIS IS A NATIVE FLORIDA
MATERIAL.
IT COMES OUT OF
THE FLORIDA KEYS.
SO THAT'S WHY I'M USING IT.
IT IS 100% FLORIDA STONE.
WE GOT TO SHAVE OFF
ALL THE ROUGH STUFF
SO WE GET IT SO IT
LOOKS LIKE CORAL.
I'D REALLY LOVE IT.
IT'S A CORAL FAMILY MATERIAL.
THAT'S RIGHT.
AND I WANT TO CUT
A CHANNEL OUT OF IT.
UH-HUH.
MAKE THE WATER COME OUT
OF THE TOP.
AND EITHER THE WATER COMES DOWN
LIKE BLACK MEXICAN BEACH PEBBLE.
OR MAYBE WE COULD GET A LIGHT
INSIDE IT AND TAKE A PIECE OF
SOMETHING TRANSLUCENT
THAT RUNS DOWN IT
SO WHERE THE WATER'S RUNNING
DOWN, IT GLOWS AT NIGHT.
SO, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING
LIKE THAT?
YES, I DO. UH, ORANGE.
IT'S A SOAPSTONE FAMILY.
I GOT IT HERE.
YEAH, YEAH, I DO.
LET'S GET CREATIVE.
LET'S HAVE FUN WITH THIS.
LET'S DO IT.
ALL RIGHT.
GOOD. YEAH,
I THINK WE COULD TAKE THREE.
THREE INCHES?
YEAH.
THE LASER WILL HELP US
TO GET THAT DISTANCE.
MY BIGGER SAW WILL BE
A 10-FOOT BLADE,
AND WILL CUT UP TO
30,000-POUND BLOCKS.
THAT'S THE BIGGEST SAW
ON THE MARKET.
EASY.
WOW, LOOK AT THAT.
THAT LOOKS JUST LIKE CORAL.
SO, UH, WHERE'S THAT STONE
YOU WERE THINKING ABOUT
USING WITH IT?
YEAH, I GOT IT RIGHT HERE.
LET ME - -
LET ME SHOW IT TO YOU.
SOAPSTONE FAMILY MATERIAL
FROM UTAH.
OH, WOW. THAT'S IT?
IT'S INCREDIBLE.
OH, MY GOD.
LOOK AT THE CONTRAST THERE.
BUT YET,
THE SAME COLOR TONES.
OVER TIME, THIS GETS KIND OF
SHINY AND SOAPY.
UH-HUH, AND IT'LL HAVE
A LITTLE RIPPLE TO IT
WITH THE WATER COMING
ACROSS, THEN.
YOU'LL SEE LIGHT
FROM UNDERNEATH THE ROCK.
IT'S VERY COOL EFFECT.
THAT'S SLEEK. THAT'S MODERN.
IT GIVES IT THAT FLORIDA LOOK.
YOU'RE MY GUY, BUDDY.
YEAH, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
NOW THAT I HAVE THIS BIG SLAB OF
OOLITE, THIS MONOLITH,
I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO TIE IT
IN WITH SOMETHING ELSE.
I THINK I NEED ANOTHER PIECE OF
OOLITE, MAYBE SOMETHING LOWER,
MAYBE CREATE A FIRE BOWL
WITH IT.
OH, YEAH, WE'LL JUST LEVEL THIS
ALL OUT SMOOTH HERE,
AND THEN WHEN YOU CUT IT,
IT'LL BE SMOOTH ON THE OUTSIDE.
SO IT'LL BE PERFECT.
SO IT'S NOT JUST ONE MONOLITHIC
ROCK OF OOLITE,
BUT NOW IT'S GOT SOME SYMMETRY.
YOU GOT THIS BIG ONE
AND THIS LITTLE ONE,
AND IT REALLY TIES IT TOGETHER.
WHILE ROBERT FINISHES THE OOLITE
MONOLITH AND FIRE BOWL,
I'M GONNA GET STARTED
WITH MY TEAM
ON THE OTHER ROCK FEATURE THAT
TERRY AND CYNTHIA AGREED ON - -
THE WATER WALL.
SO JUST IMAGINE, YOU KNOW,
WE STACK THESE ROCKS UP
ON THIS WALL.
WE HAVE THIS COOL LOOK
OF A WATER WALL
AND THE KIND OF
RAPIDS COMING DOWN.
COOL, WE GET TO DO
SOME ROCK WORK. YAY!
MAKE SURE YOU PICK SOME ONES
WITH CHARACTER.
I LIKE - - THIS ONE'S GOT
A LITTLE BROWN IN IT,
A LITTLE BLACK.
NICE FACE ON IT.
SO LUCAS IS BOUND AND DETERMINED
TO BUILD THIS WATER WALL,
AND HE WANTED TO USE SOME
TENNESSEE ROCKS SOMEWHERE,
ANYWHERE IN THIS PROJECT.
PUT THAT ONE - -
YEAH, LIKE THAT.
BUT AS IT STARTS
COMING TOGETHER,
I'M GETTING A SICK
FEELING IN MY STOMACH.
UGH, YOU KNOW WHAT, WOMAN?
I LOVE THAT ROCK.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
I'M - - I'M JUST NOT FEELING IT
HERE AT THIS JOB.
I MEAN, I COULD TELL
HE JUST HIT THE WALL.
HE SAID,
"THIS IS NOT GONNA WORK."
GUYS, GUYS,
JUST PUT THOSE ROCKS BACK.
GET 'EM ALL OUT OF HERE.
OH, NO.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
WE HAD IT ALL LAID OUT.
IT WAS ALMOST BUILT.
I HATE DOING THINGS TWICE.
WELL, SOMETIMES THAT'S
THE LUCAS LAGOONS WAY.
HE'S AN ARTIST FIRST,
AND HE REALIZED THAT THAT STONE
WAS WRONG FOR THAT
PARTICULAR SITUATION.
HE'LL COME UP WITH SOMETHING.
TODAY, I JUST FELT LIKE
I WAS HAVING DESIGNER'S BLOCK.
SO I DECIDED TO GET OUT
ONTO EMERSON POINT
IN THE NATURE PRESERVE
JUST DOWN THE STREET FROM HERE.
Jane: EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,
HE JUST NEEDS TO WALK AWAY
FOR A LITTLE WHILE
AND TAKE A DEEP BREATH.
WOW.
SO GETTING OUT HERE
INTO THIS NATURAL ENVIRONMENT,
THIS HAS REALLY INSPIRED ME.
AND I'VE DRIVEN OVER THAT BRIDGE
THOUSANDS OF TIMES.
BUT BEING IN THAT
NATURE PRESERVE,
I NOTICED SOMETHING
I DIDN'T SEE BEFORE.
THERE'S A LIGHT ON TOP FLASHING.
NOT THAT I'M GONNA DO A FLASHING
LIGHT ON MY MONOLITH,
BUT IT GAVE ME THE IDEA TO HAVE
FIRE COMING OUT OF THE TOP.
I'M ALWAYS THINKING
ABOUT BIG ROCKS,
BUT MAYBE THESE SMALL BEACH
PEBBLES WOULD CREATE
THE RIPPLING OF THE TIDES,
KIND OF THE EFFECT
THAT'S OUT THERE IN THE BAY.
THE DESIGN PART OF THIS BUILD
HAS BEEN
REALLY A CHALLENGE FOR ME.
AND IT'S FUNNY,
THIS IS REALLY ALL I NEEDED,
WAS JUST TO GET OUT INTO NATURE.
I REALLY FEEL INSPIRED.
I KNOW THE ELEMENTS THAT I NEED.
I'M READY TO GET BACK
AND MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
I GOT ALL MY IDEAS.
I FEEL SO EXCITED.
I'M SO REJUVENATED NOW.
THE ROCK'S BACK FROM ROBERT.
WE'RE READY TO SET
THIS OOLITE BOULDER.
WE GOT IT STRAPPED UP,
AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN - -
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
I MEAN, IT'S LIKE A MONSOON.
THE WIND'S BLOWING.
THE RAIN'S COMING IN SIDEWAYS.
WE GOT LIGHTNING STRIKING
ALL AROUND US.
SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO
WAIT IT OUT
AND HOPE WE CAN GET BACK TO
WORK HERE SHORTLY.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
WE'RE TRYING TO INSTALL THE
MONOLITH AT THE PANKIW BUILD,
BUT THE WEATHER IS
FIGHTING US ONCE AGAIN.
I MEAN, THE RAIN SLOWS US DOWN,
BUT THE REAL PROBLEM IS
THE LIGHTNING.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
WE CAN'T WORK WITH LIGHTNING,
SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO
WAIT IT OUT
AND HOPE WE CAN GET BACK TO WORK
HERE SHORTLY.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
WE'RE STILL GETTING RAIN HERE
ON AND OFF,
BUT SINCE THERE'S NO LIGHTNING,
WE CAN GET BACK TO WORK.
WHOA.
IT WAS TRICKY.
I MEAN, THIS THING'S, LIKE,
3,000 POUNDS.
SWING IT OVER HERE. WHOA.
HOW THE HECK ARE WE GONNA GET
THAT IN THIS POOL?
WHAT'S THE ORIENTATION
YOU WANT?
KIND OF RIGHT TOWARDS
THE CORNER OF THE HOUSE.
SO I'M EXTENDED AS FAR OUT
AS THIS EXCAVATOR WILL REACH.
I'M FORCING IT
TO GET INTO PLACE.
THIS THING JUST DOES NOT WANT
TO DO IT.
ARE THE PIPES CENTERED
IN THE NOTCH?
YOU CAN COME THIS WAY.
John: THE EXCAVATOR REACHED IN,
AND WE SET IT DOWN.
IT WAS A LITTLE SCARY.
PERFECT.
WE'RE LEVEL ON BOTH WAYS.
LET ME SEE HOW IT LOOKS
FROM THE HOUSE.
I LIKE THE WAY
IT'S KIND OF ANGLED.
ALL YOU'RE BLOCKING
IS REALLY THAT PALM TREE
AND THE BOAT BEHIND YOU.
IT'S STILL LEAVING THE VIEW
REALLY OPEN.
THAT'S GONNA LOOK AWESOME
WITH THE FIRE
SHOOTING OUT OF THAT ROCK.
ORIGINALLY,
THIS OOLITE BOULDER
WAS GONNA BE A MONOLITHIC
WATER FEATURE.
BUT BEING OUT INTO EMERSON POINT
GAVE ME THE IDEA TO HAVE FIRE
COMING OUT OF THE TOP.
ONCE WE POLISH THIS, IT'S GONNA
LOOK LIKE A BIG SLAB OF CORAL.
AND THEN,
WE'RE GONNA DO THE SOAPSTONE,
AND IT'S GONNA HAVE
LED LIGHTS BEHIND IT.
SO THIS IS GONNA BE ORANGE
ALL THE WAY UP,
AND THEN FIRE COMING
OUT OF THE TOP.
THIS IS A COOL IDEA.
I CAN'T WAIT. IT'S GONNA BE
SUCH A SURPRISE FOR THEM.
ALL RIGHT, YOU GUYS. I THINK
I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT.
I WAS AT EMERSON POINT
ON THE BAY
LOOKING OUT AT THIS
BEAUTIFUL NATURE PRESERVE,
SEEING THE SHALLOWS OF
THE TIDES CHANGING
AND THE RIPPLING EFFECT.
IT'S BEEN STARING ME
IN THE FACE ALL THIS TIME.
THE BEACH PEBBLE'S THE PERFECT
THING FOR THE WATER WALL.
ALL RIGHT.
IMAGINE AS THE WATER ROLLS OUT
OF HERE,
IT'S GONNA BASICALLY
CREATE A RIPPLING TIDE EFFECT
COMING DOWN.
TRICKLING DOWN.
IT'S GONNA LOOK JUST LIKE
THE BAY RIGHT HERE.
YOU KNOW, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO
MAKE A WATERFALL,
LET'S REPLICATE THE NATURE
THAT'S ALL AROUND US.
I LIKE THAT.
I THINK IT'LL LOOK GREAT
ON EVERYTHING.
WE CAN USE IT ON THE WATER WALL,
ON THE WATER LINE TILE,
WRAPPING THE SPA, GOING AROUND
THE OUTDOOR KITCHEN.
WHEW.
I HOPE YOU GOT A LOT OF THAT.
I CALCULATED ABOUT 700
SQUARE FOOT OF THIS.
GONNA KEEP ME BUSY
FOR A LITTLE BIT.
GET STARTED ON LAYING THIS.
I WANT TO SEE IT ON THIS WALL.
THE LONGER YOU TALK TO ME,
THE LONGER IT DOESN'T GET
ON THE WALL.
ALL RIGHT.
I'LL LEAVE YOU ALONE, THEN.
ALL RIGHT, GET OUT OF HERE.
[ WHIRRING ]
WELL, I'M GLAD LUCAS
HAD HIS LITTLE BREAKTHROUGH.
HE SHOWS UP WITH A BOX OF TILES.
EVERYTHING'S ON A MAT.
PRE-GLUE IT ON.
ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS JUST
SET IT ON THE WALL.
THAT'S MY KIND OF WORK.
REMEMBER, THIS BEACH PEBBLE IS
THE WHOLE INFINITY EDGE.
I MEAN, IMAGINE THE WATER
TRAVELING THROUGH HERE
AND GETTING THAT RIPPLING LOOK
LIKE WE HAVE OUT IN THE BAY.
I LOVE IT.
IT'LL DO, LIKE, THE LITTLE...
[ LAUGHING ]
BECAUSE OF MY EXPERIENCE
DOING POOLS,
LUCAS PUT ME IN CHARGE OF
TAKING CARE OF THE TILE.
HE KNEW I'D GET IT DONE AND GET
IT DONE LOOKING BEAUTIFUL.
WOW, GUYS.
THIS LOOKS AWESOME. GOOD JOB.
I LOVE IT.
I THINK IT'S GONNA BE SO COOL.
I LIKE THIS.
I MEAN, IT'S PRETTY NEAT.
Chris: MOST OF THE JOBS
THAT LUCAS GIVES ME,
I'VE USUALLY GOT TO DO
EVERYTHING BY MYSELF.
BUT THIS TIME, I GOT SOME HELP.
ON THIS JOB, EVERYBODY'S PRETTY
MUCH DOING SOMETHING THAT
THEY'RE NOT NORMALLY USED TO.
WOMAN WORKING WITH
LITTLE PEBBLES...
I'M NOT A TILE PERSON.
I'VE NEVER DONE TILE BEFORE.
BUT THAT'S OKAY.
SOMETHING NEW TO DO.
OLD MAN GROUTING,
WHICH MAKES HIM PRETTY GROUCHY.
[ MACHINE WHIRRING ]
THE REST OF US ARE JUST RUNNING
AROUND TRYING TO PICK UP
THE SLACK OR TO HELP OUT
WHEREVER IS NEEDED.
WE DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO
AND WE'LL GET IT DONE.
[ MACHINE WHIRRING ]
TRAVERTINE TIME, HUH?
YES, IT IS.
ISN'T THAT EXCITING?
WE CAN ACTUALLY GET SOME
FINISH WORK DONE HERE.
MAN, THIS DECK IS HUGE NOW.
I WASN'T EXPECTING IT
TO BE THIS BIG.
I'M SO GLAD
WE'RE MUD-SETTING THIS.
THAT'S REALLY THE BEST WAY
OF DOING IT.
I MEAN, IT'S BASICALLY
WHAT YOU WOULD DO INDOORS,
BUT WE'RE DOING IT OUTDOORS,
AND IT'S GONNA LOOK AWESOME.
THE BEST WAY TO DO IT.
Lucas: WE WANT TO TRAVERTINE
EVERYTHING.
ALL THE COPING, THE TOP OF THE
SPA, THE WHOLE UPPER DECK AREA,
ALL THE RISERS
AND TREADS ON THE STEPS.
NOW, THE REAL HARD PART
IS GONNA BE GROUTING IT.
I MEAN, I'M GONNA LEAVE THAT UP
TO SUNSHINE AND OLD MAN.
THEY'RE GONNA LOVE ME
AFTER THIS.
SO, HOW MUCH OF THIS
DO WE HAVE TO DO?
A LOT.
THIS IS ABOUT 1/20 OF IT.
WHEN LUCAS TOLD ME THAT WE HAVE
A LITTLE BIT OF STONE WORK TO DO
BUT IT'S LITTLE PEBBLES,
I'M LIKE, OH, MY GOD.
YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
BECOME ONE WITH THE GROUT.
OKAY?
BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT
A LONG WAY TO GO.
WE CALL HIM "OLD MAN"
NOT BECAUSE HE'S REALLY OLD.
HE DRAGS HIS FEET.
YOU KNOW, HE'S KIND OF LIKE
THE SLOTH OF THE BUNCH.
WAIT TILL YOU'RE AS OLD AS I AM.
YOU'LL COMPLAIN MORE, TOO.
I LIKE THE BIG ROCKS
THAT GO IN FAST,
AND I CAN STAND BACK AND SAY,
"WOW,
I GOT ALL THAT DONE TODAY?"
THIS SUCKS.
WELL, HEY,
WE GOT TO GROUT ALL THIS.
THIS IS TO SEAL ALL THE TILES,
SO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WORKS.
YOU KNOW, THIS HAS GOT TO BE
EASIER WORK THAN WHEN YOU WERE
BACK BUILDING THE PYRAMIDS.
YEAH, WELL, THEY DIDN'T USE
LITTLE PEBBLES
TO BUILD 'EM, EITHER.
HEY.
WHAT'S UP, FRANKIE?
I LOOKED AROUND THE SPACE,
AND I'M PRETTY MUCH THINKING
THAT THIS IS PROBABLY
THE ONLY SPOT
WE GOT TO PUT A TV IN.
THE OUTDOOR TV
IS GOIN' BEHIND THE BAR.
THAT'S THE PERFECT LOCATION.
IT'S NOT BLOCKING THE VIEW
OF THE BAY,
IT CAN BE SEEN FROM THE HOT TUB,
AND IT CAN BE VIEWED
WHEN PEOPLE ARE SITTIN'
AT THE BAR HAVING DRINKS.
WHERE ARE WE GONNA PUT THESE
SATELLITE SPEAKERS?
I'M THINKING WE CAN PUT ONE
IN EACH CORNER,
AND THEN I'LL UTILIZE
THE LOCATIONS AROUND THE POOL
TO PUT OUR SATELLITE SPEAKERS.
WE'RE READY TO GO.
WE JUST GOT TO GET OUR POWER
AND OUR VIDEO FEED HERE.
OH. THERE'S ONE MORE THING,
ACTUALLY,
WE GOT TO INTEGRATE
INTO THIS SPACE.
CHECK THIS OUT.
HOLD ON.
BEFORE WE DESIGNED THIS WHOLE
THING, THIS WAS UP ON THE WALL.
TERRY'S DOCK & BAR.
SO I'D REALLY LOVE TO SURPRISE
HIM AND SOMEHOW HAVE THIS HERE.
SO NOW, I'M THINKING,
"HOW CAN I PUT A TV AND A SIGN
IN THE EXACT SAME LOCATION?"
IT'S LIKE PARKING TWO CARS
IN ONE PARKING SPOT.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GONNA
PUT IT, MAN, BUT I TRUST YOU.
FIGURE IT OUT.
THANKS A LOT, BUDDY.
NOW THAT WE HAVE
THE STACKED BEACH PEBBLE
COMPLETE ON THE BAR,
IT'S TIME TO PUT IN
THE TWO-TIERED GRANITE
AND QUARTZ COUNTERTOP.
CAREFUL.
DON'T HIT THE STONES.
THEY'RE LOOSE.
WE'VE DESIGNED A CURVED BAR
THAT REALLY FLOWS
WITH THE RADIUS OF THE SPA.
ONE, TWO, THREE.
THE BOTTOM PIECE OF GRANITE
WENT IN PRETTY EASY.
TOOK SIX GUYS 'CAUSE IT WEIGHED
ABOUT 700 POUNDS.
THERE WE GO. NOW IT'S STARTING
TO LOOK LIKE SOMETHING.
John: UNDERNEATH THE TOP TIER
OF THE GRANITE COUNTERTOP IS
A PANEL OF LED LIGHTING, AND
IT'S GONNA LOOK GREAT AT NIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, SO WE'RE GETTING
THE LED LIGHT PANEL IN THERE.
SO, ALL THAT'S REALLY GONNA HOLD
IT IN THERE IS THE PRESSURE
OF IT BEING SANDWICHED BETWEEN
THE BRACKET AND THE TOP, RIGHT?
ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
WE GOT TO LIFT ALL TOGETHER.
THIS IS VERY FRAGILE.
WE'VE GOT TO KEEP EVEN PRESSURE
ACROSS THE WHOLE PIECE
OR IT COULD SNAP AND THERE GOES
OUR WHOLE PROJECT.
1, 2, 3. LET'S GO.
THIS OTHER WAY?
MOVE OVER - - MOVE OVER THERE.
WANT ME TO STAY - -
WANT ME TO LINE UP THE HOLES?
John:
THIS IS VERY NERVE-RACKING.
WE HAD TO BALANCE IT DOWN ONTO
THOSE, LIKE, EIGHT PEGS THAT HAD
TO GO THROUGH THE HOLES ON
THE BOTTOM SECTION OF GRANITE.
IT'S GOT TO DROP IN AT THE SAME
TIME OR IT'S GONNA BREAK.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE THE GUY
THAT CAUSED IT TO CRACK.
SO YOU'VE GOT TO GO THIS WAY
A LITTLE BIT.
THIS ONE'S JUST NOT LINING UP.
[ SOFT CLUNK ]
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
WE GOT TO LIFT ALL TOGETHER.
THIS IS VERY FRAGILE.
WE'RE FINALLY READY
FOR THE GRANITE COUNTER,
AND IT'S VERY HEAVY.
IT'S JUST, LIKE, 700 POUNDS
WORTH OF WEIGHT GOING ON.
WE HAD TO BALANCE IT DOWN
ONTO THOSE EIGHT PEGS.
IT'S GOT TO DROP IN AT THE SAME
TIME OR IT'S GONNA BREAK.
THIS IS VERY NERVE-RACKING.
THIS ONE'S JUST NOT LINING UP.
[ SOFT CLUNK ]
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
ALL THE HOLES LINED UP
PERFECTLY EXCEPT ONE.
ONE IN THE MIDDLE
DIDN'T LINE UP.
IF THIS LAST PIECE
DOESN'T GO IN,
THIS WHOLE THING IS A DISASTER.
1, 2, 3.
IT TOOK A LITTLE BIT
OF ENCOURAGEMENT
TO GET THAT ONE TO GO IN.
Lucas:
YOU CAN HEAR IT, LIKE, CRACKING.
WHEW.
YEAH.
NO, WE'RE ALL GOOD.
GONNA LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
I MEAN, THIS IS REALLY
COMING TOGETHER, HUH?
SEXY, SEXY.
NOW THAT THE OOLITE BOULDER
IS IN,
IT'S TIME TO TAKE IT TO
THE NEXT LEVEL.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
WELL, NOW IT'S TIME TO GET
THIS SOAPSTONE IN.
THIS LED LIGHT PANEL
IS GONNA GO BEHIND IT.
IT'S GONNA LOOK SO AWESOME
AS THAT COMES THROUGH THAT
MONOLITHIC BOULDER.
THE WHOLE THING GLOWS EVENLY
SO YOU DON'T GET HOT
AND COLD SPOTS.
THE THING IS, THOUGH, IS THESE
ARE ALL INDIVIDUAL PIECES THAT
ARE EPOXIED TOGETHER.
BUT WE'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL
BECAUSE WE CAN'T JUST LIFT UP
ONE SIDE.
I DON'T KNOW,
CAREFUL'S NOT MY THING.
1, 2, 3.
WE GOT THIS COOL SOAPSTONE
THAT LOOKS LIKE FIRE.
IT'S GOT ORANGES AND YELLOWS
IN IT AND SOME BLACKS.
WE'RE GONNA SINK A FEW INCHES
WHEN I GET OUT THERE.
AS I GRAB IT FROM THE TOP,
JUST FEED IT FROM THE BOTTOM.
1, 2, 3.
THAT'S GONNA SLIDE IN THAT SLOT
RIGHT THERE
SO THAT WHOLE CREVICE IS
THIS COOL SOAPSTONE.
IT'S CATCHING ON SOMETHING.
WE JUST HAVE TO MOVE IT OVER.
WE'RE GONNA DO SOME SORT OF GAS
PIPE SO THAT WAY,
THAT SOAPSTONE LOOKS LIKE FIRE.
AND THEN, IT SHOOTS
FLAMES OUT OF THE TOP.
I MEAN,
THAT'S GONNA LOOK SO COOL.
GOT IT.
OKAY. DOWN.
OKAY, GET YOUR FINGER OUT.
MAN, THAT'S AMAZING, DUDE.
YEAH, THAT'S BADASS.
I LOVE IT.
THIS IS A LUCAS LAGOONS
ORIGINAL.
NOBODY BUT TERRY AND CYNTHIA
HAVE ONE OF THESE.
Jane: THE END RESULT
WAS REALLY COOL.
THAT LIGHT PANEL
WAS A BRILLIANT IDEA.
AT NIGHT,
IT'S GONNA BE FANTASTIC.
YEAH, WE DIDN'T GET TO SET
THE GRAVEL THIS TIME,
BUT THIS IS OUR - -
OUR GEM OF THE BUILD.
YES, IT IS.
YEP.
IT'S A WINNER.
WE'RE FINISHED WITH ALL
THE MAJOR ROCK WORK.
TRYING TO GET IT ALL FINISHED UP
BEFORE TERRY AND CYNTHIA GET
BACK INTO TOWN.
WE'RE FINISHING THE CEILING
AND THE BAR AREA,
LAYING IN THE SOD
AND DOING THE LANDSCAPING,
MAKING SURE
THE POOL EQUIPMENT WORKS.
WE'RE INSTALLING
THE APPLIANCES IN THE KITCHEN.
NICE.
Jane: AND THE AUDIO/VISUAL
SYSTEM IS GOING IN.
WE'RE NEARING THE HOME STRETCH.
THERE'S SO MANY FEATURES
GOING INTO THIS BUILD.
I WANT TO MAKE IT USER FRIENDLY.
AND SO WE'VE GOT TO
AUTOMATE IT ALL.
SO I BROUGHT IN MY BUDDY, JOHN.
HE'S GONNA HELP ME COME UP WITH
THE BEST SYSTEM FOR THIS POOL.
SO CYNTHIA AND TERRY ARE GOING
TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL
THIS POOL BASICALLY FROM ANY
SMARTPHONE, ANY TABLET.
AS LONG AS THEY'VE GOT
AN INTERNET CONNECTION,
THEY'RE GONNA HAVE ACCESS TO
THIS SWIMMING POOL.
LIGHT COLOR, THE SPEED OF
THE PUMP, THE HEAT OF THE SPA.
AH, MAN, THAT'S SUPER SWEET.
THE GREAT THING ABOUT THIS
AUTOMATION SYSTEM IS IT'S NOT
JUST A REMOTE LIKE MOST OF 'EM.
THIS ONE, YOU CAN CONTROL
FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
SO EVEN WHEN TERRY AND CYNTHIA
ARE BACK IN CANADA,
THEY CAN STILL CONTROL
THEIR HOUSE.
IT'S COME A LONG WAYS.
I MEAN, FROM THE DAYS OF COMING
OUT HERE AND HAVING TO REMEMBER
WHICH WAY TO TURN THE VALVES.
YOU GUYS ROCK, MAN.
[ LAUGHS ]
THIS IS THE LAST DAY
OF THE BUILD.
IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE
THE SPACE COMPLETED.
OH, WOW. YOU KNOW,
WHEN I WAS AT EMERSON POINT,
THERE WERE ALL THESE
TREES WITH, LIKE,
ROOTS KIND OF GROWING OVER
EACH OTHER.
AND I WAS THINKING THAT WAS JUST
SUCH A COOL THING,
AND I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FOUND
SOMETHING THAT KIND OF
REPLICATES THAT.
YEP. AND IT UNDULATES.
YEAH, I HEAR THAT'S
YOUR FAVORITE WORD.
WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT MY FRIEND,
CELESTE,
SHE SPECIALIZES
IN RECLAIMED NATURAL ELEMENTS
THAT ARE ARTISTIC AND FUNCTIONAL
FOR OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES.
YEAH, THIS IS PRETTY MUCH LIKE
CYNTHIA'S PANKIW PARADISE LOGO.
IT'S GOT THE PALMS ON IT.
RIGHT.
THEY'RE GONNA LOVE THIS.
DON'T DRAG IT ON THAT.
I'M NOT DRAGGING.
I'M PICKING IT UP.
YOU'RE THE ONE
THAT'S DRAGGING IT.
LUCAS.
HEY. WHAT'S UP, RAY?
I BROUGHT YOU SOMETHING
REALLY GREAT.
IT'S SOME WOVEN WICKER
WITH AN OYSTER GRAY COLOR
WITH A REALLY NICE WEAVE
THAT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO ACCENT
WHAT YOU DID.
NICE.
LET ME GRAB MY GUYS, AND LET'S
START UNLOADING THIS THING.
OKAY, WOMAN.
YEAH, WOMAN.
LET'S GO.
[ LAUGHS ]
DOESN'T THAT LOOK LIKE
STACKED BEACH PEBBLE?
IT'S GONNA GO SO WELL
WITH THAT THEME BACK THERE.
THERE'S SUCH A STUPENDOUS AMOUNT
OF WORK TO BE DONE,
BUT WE GET IT DONE ON SCHEDULE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW WE DO IT.
Lucas: AS EXCITED AS I AM TO
SHOW TERRY AND CYNTHIA
THIS PROJECT COMPLETED,
I'M NERVOUS, TOO.
I THINK I'VE CREATED
PANKIW'S PARADISE.
I HOPE MY VERSION OF PARADISE
MATCHES UP TO THEIRS.
ALL RIGHT, TERRY AND CYNTHIA.
THIS IS THE MOMENT WE'VE ALL
BEEN WAITING FOR.
I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS.
HOW ARE YOU GUYS FEELING?
THE LAST TIME WE LEFT IT,
THERE WAS JUST A BIG HOLE
IN THE GROUND.
ALL RIGHT. 1, 2, 3...
AS EXCITED AS I AM TO SHOW
TERRY AND CYNTHIA
THEIR NEW BACKYARD,
I'M ALSO A LITTLE NERVOUS.
I WAS CHALLENGED WITH BUILDING
PANKIW'S PARADISE,
BUT NOT THE WAY
I NORMALLY WOULD.
WE DON'T WANT BOULDERS
BLOCKING THE VIEW.
Lucas: WITH NO BIG ROCKS
AND NO LAGOONS,
THIS JOB IS WAY DIFFERENT THAN
ANYTHING THAT I'VE DONE BEFORE.
TERRY AND CYNTHIA'S BACKYARD
WAS SCREAMING FOR A REMODEL.
WE HAD SOME SETBACKS
FROM THE BEGINNING...
WHOO. YEAH.
WHAT THE HELL?
SOME IN THE MIDDLE...
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
GUYS, GUYS.
JUST PUT THOSE ROCKS BACK.
GET 'EM ALL OUT OF HERE.
BUT EVENTUALLY,
IT ALL CAME TOGETHER.
IT'S A WINNER.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW
TERRY AND CYNTHIA
THEIR NEW PANKIW'S PARADISE.
ALL RIGHT, TERRY AND CYNTHIA.
THIS IS THE MOMENT
WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR.
I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS.
HOW ARE YOU GUYS FEELING?
I'M NERVOUS.
OH, YEAH.
WAITING TO GET THOSE BLINDS UP.
[ LAUGHING ]
THE LAST TIME WE LEFT IT, IT - -
THERE WAS JUST A BIG HOLE
IN THE GROUND.
AND NOW, WE'RE BACK,
SO I'M REALLY EXCITED
TO GET IN THAT BACKYARD
TO SEE PANKIW'S PARADISE.
I DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE IT,
THOUGH,
UNTIL THE SHADES ARE ALL
THE WAY UP.
SO TURN AROUND,
AND WHEN I TELL YOU, LOOK BACK.
LET'S DO IT.
OKAY. SOUNDS GOOD.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S DO IT.
[ BLINDS WHIRRING ]
ALL RIGHT.
1, 2, 3... TURN AROUND.
AND WELCOME TO
PANKIW'S PARADISE.
WHOA!
OH, MY...
WOW.
COOL.
THIS IS AMAZING.
THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
NICE.
WHEN I FIRST CAME HERE,
THEY WANTED ME TO JUST ADD
A HOT TUB TO THIS UGLY POOL.
I HOPE THEY AGREE THAT THIS VIEW
WITH THE TRANSFORMATION IS
TOTALLY AN UPGRADE FROM THAT
UGLY POOL THEY HAD BEFORE.
IT'S FANTASTIC.
LOOK, LOOK, LOOK.
BEAUTIFUL.
SO I WENT TO
EMERSON POINT HERE.
I SAW SOME BEACH PEBBLES THERE,
AND THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED THAT
AS THE WATER WASHES OVER
THOSE PEBBLES, IT'S GONNA LOOK
JUST LIKE THE BAY.
YOU KNOW HOW YOU GET THAT
RIPPLING EFFECT?
SO, YOU SEE HOW IT LOOKS LIKE
WAY OUT THERE,
HOW THE WATER DOES THAT?
RIGHT, RIGHT.
YOU KNOW,
TO GET THAT INFINITY EDGE LOOK,
WE TOTALLY ELIMINATED
THAT COLUMN, OPENED UP THE VIEW,
GOT RID OF THE UGLY CAGE.
AND, I MEAN, LOOK AT NOW.
Cynthia: I HAVE NO IDEA HOW HE
MANAGED TO CREATE IT,
BUT HE'S ACTUALLY
ENHANCED OUR VIEW.
REMEMBER, I TURNED AROUND
AND I SAID TO YOU, I SAYS,
WHEN I WALK OUTSIDE AND IF THE
HAIR WAS STANDING UP ON MY ARM,
I SAID,
"WHAT A FANTASTIC JOB."
YEAH?
WELL, FEEL IT.
HEY.
IT'S LIKE A BEAR.
FANTASTIC.
SO COME OVER HERE.
THERE'S SO MUCH MORE
TO SHOW YOU.
ALL RIGHT, YOU GUYS REMEMBER
THAT OLD DECK THAT WAS ROTTING
AND FALLING APART?
YEAH.
AND HOW IT WAS REALLY CRAMPED?
NOW YOU'VE GOT THIS BEAUTIFUL
UPPER-LEVEL DECK AREA
OFF YOUR MASTER BEDROOM.
YOU CAN COME OUT HERE,
LOOK OUT AT THE BAY.
IT'S JUST ANOTHER GREAT SPACE.
THAT'S PERFECT.
IT'S USEFUL NOW.
YEAH, WE GOT THIS GREAT SPACE IF
YOU WANT TO BE OUT HERE AND TAN,
AND THEN YOU GOT THE WHOLE
SUN SHELF AREA.
Cynthia: I LOVE THE SUN SHELF.
IT'S HUGE.
LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE
WE CAN FIT IN THERE.
AND THEN, IN THE MIDDLE,
YOU GOT THIS, LIKE, LAP POOL,
BASICALLY.
YOU CAN SWIM BACK AND FORTH.
AND THEN, OF COURSE, THESE COOL
LOUNGER CHAIRS IN THE WATER
WHERE YOU CAN LAY IN THERE
AND LOOK BACK OUT
AT THE BAY VIEW HERE.
EVERYTHING IS JUST BEAUTIFUL.
AND IT'S THE FLORIDA LOOK.
SO EVEN THOUGH WE DIDN'T USE BIG
BOULDERS TO CREATE GROTTOS
AND WATERFALLS, I DID SNEAK
A COUPLE OF BIG PIECES IN HERE.
WE GOT THIS NATIVE FLORIDA
OOLITE, AND WHEN YOU CUT IT,
IT LOOKS LIKE CORAL.
THERE'S ACTUALLY A FIRE RING
INSIDE OF IT. SO IT'S PROPANE.
YOU CAN HAVE JUST A LITTLE
FLAME, OR YOU CAN TURN IT UP.
I MEAN, THIS SUCKER WILL BURN UP
THIS HIGH IF YOU WANT IT TO.
REALLY? COOL.
YEAH.
AND THEN WE HAVE THIS OTHER COOL
OOLITE FEATURE OVER HERE.
MONOLITHIC BOULDER PROTRUDING
OUT OF THE DARK WATER.
I THINK THE CONTRAST OF
THE LIGHT OOLITE
AND THE DARK BLUE
WATER IS MY FAVORITE.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
IT LOOKS LIKE
IT JUST CAME OUT OF NATURE.
I REALLY WANT TO TAKE YOU TO
YOUR FAVORITE THING,
WHICH IS
TERRY'S BAR AND GRILL OVER HERE.
LET'S GO CHECK IT OUT.
WELL, REMEMBER BEFORE ALL
YOU HAD WAS THIS SIGN,
TERRY'S DOCK & BAR.
HERE YOU GO. YOU GOT THIS
GREAT SPLIT-LEVEL BAR.
IT'S GOT ALL THE AMENITIES.
YOU GOT A SINK.
YOU GOT A GRILL RIGHT HERE.
BEAUTIFUL BARBECUE.
I MEAN, WHAT MORE
COULD YOU NEED OUT HERE?
THIS IS GREAT.
AH, THIS IS GREAT.
I GOT ONE MORE SURPRISE
FOR YOU.
WHAT'S THAT?
REMEMBER BEFORE
YOU WERE TELLING ME
HOW YOU LOVE TO WATCH
TV OUTSIDE,
SO YOU TURN THE FURNITURE AROUND
AND HAD TO TAKE THAT TV
AND KIND OF SWIVEL IT OUT?
WELL, CHECK THIS OUT.
NO WAY.
NO ONE WOULD EVEN KNOW
IT'S THERE.
WOW!
NOW YOU CAN WATCH TV
FROM OUTSIDE,
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH
ALL THAT NONSENSE ANYMORE.
YEAH, NO KIDDING.
THAT'S AWESOME.
YOU GUYS THINK
IT LOOKS GOOD NOW.
CAN'T WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE WHAT
PANKIW'S PARADISE
LOOKS LIKE AT NIGHT.
NOW THAT IT'S DARK,
IT ALL STARTS WITH THE BAR.
OH, WOW.
WOW.
LOOK HOW GORGEOUS THIS QUARTZ
CRYSTAL TOP IS THAT'S BLENDING
IN WITH THE GRANITE.
THEN YOU TURN
THE LIGHT OFF...
OH, WOW.
AND IT REALLY SHINES.
WOW. IS THAT NICE, EH?
THAT'S NICE.
BEAUTIFUL.
I KNOW WHEN YOU GUYS
COME DOWN HERE,
YOU LOVE TO HANG OUT TOGETHER,
BUT YOU ALSO LOVE TO ENTERTAIN.
SO YOU GUYS CAN JUST JUMP INTO
YOUR NEW HOT TUB,
AND LET ME SHOW YOU HOW PANKIW'S
PARADISE COMES ALIVE AT NIGHT.
WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU
TO SAY THAT ALL DAY.
SO I'LL GO AHEAD
AND TURN ON THE LIGHTS.
GO AHEAD. WHOA.
LOOK AT THAT.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY MAKE IT
ANY COLOR THAT YOU WANT
FROM YOUR SMARTPHONE
OR TABLET.
YOU CAN DO,
LIKE, PARTY MODE.
ISN'T THAT COOL?
THAT'S AMAZING.
THE ONE THING I'M MOST EXCITED
ABOUT THAT - - THAT JUST TAKES
THIS WHOLE DESIGN TO THE NEXT
LEVEL, CHECK THIS OUT.
WOW.
LET THERE BE FIRE!
YEAH!
I THOUGHT THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL
DURING THE DAY, BUT THIS JUST - -
THIS JUST BLOWS IT AWAY.
THIS IS TRULY A WORK OF ART.
THAT'S MUSIC TO MY EARS.
PUT THE TUNES ON.
I THINK YOU'VE GOT TO GET
IN THE POOL.
ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.
HERE'S SOME TUNES.
[ ROCK MUSIC PLAYING ]
HEY, ARE THERE STILL
CRABS IN HERE?
[ LAUGHTER ]
Cynthia: IT'S JUST
INCREDIBLE WHAT HE'S DONE,
AND WE DON'T EVER NEED TO
GO BACK IN THE HOUSE.
I- I MEAN,
THIS - - THIS IS HOME.
THIS IS OUR DREAM.
YEAH.
All: TO PANKIW'S PARADISE!
YEAH!
YAY!
[ LAUGHS ]
