Insane Pools Off the Deep End (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Green with Envy - full transcript

I'M LUCAS CONGDON
AND OWNER OF LUCAS LAGOON,

AND WE'RE REVOLUTIONIZING
OUTDOOR LIVING

ONE BACKYARD AT A TIME.

MY GOAL IS TO CREATE
A JAW-DROPPING,

OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD PARADISE.

WHOA! ****

A LUCAS LAGOONS PROJECT
ISN'T JUST A POOL.

IT'S AN EXPERIENCE.

COME ON OUT!

THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
WOW.

I WANT TO CRY.
IT'S, LIKE, BEAUTIFUL.



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

I'M GOING TO VISIT
KIM AND MANNY MARTINEZ.

THEY LIVE IN AN OLDER,
HISTORIC PART OF SARASOTA

RIGHT BY THE AIRPORT.

THEY CALLED ME UP

BECAUSE THEY LOVE THE PICTURES
ON OUR WEBSITE,

AND THEY WANT A NATURAL LAGOON.

KIM, LUCAS IS HERE.



I'M MANNY MARTINEZ.

BEEN MARRIED TO KIM MARTINEZ
FOR 29 YEARS.

HEY, LUCAS.
THANKS FOR BRAVING THE WEATHER.

YEAH, YEAH.

I'M KIM MARTINEZ.

I'M A REAL-ESTATE AGENT
IN SARASOTA, FLORIDA.

I MOVED FROM CALIFORNIA TO
SARASOTA ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO.

THIS WAS KIND OF LEFT THE WAY
IT IS ON PURPOSE.

BECAUSE WE FIGURED AT SOME POINT
WE'RE GONNA PUT A POOL IN.

REMIND ME OF SOME OF THE GOALS
THAT YOU HAD FOR THIS YARD.

WE'RE REALLY BIG
ON THE NATURAL LOOK.

NATURAL ENVIRONMENT.

SO WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT ROCKS,
YOU THINK ABOUT

THE NATIVE, INDIGENOUS
FLORIDA LIMESTONE.

YEAH, WE TRAVEL A LOT
TO THE CARIBBEAN, HAWAII,

AND SO WE'D LIKE TO HAVE
THE SALTWATER POOL.

AWESOME, SOUNDS GOOD.

CHLORINE JUST KILLS
MY GRANDSON'S EYES.

HE HAS TO WEAR GOGGLES.
THEY GET RED.

THE SALTWATER IS PERFECT.

WE REALLY LIKE THE SAND.

I'VE ALWAYS WANTED
A BEACH ENTRY.

MAYBE SAND BOTTOM,
POSSIBLY,

JUST TO GIVE YOU
THAT REAL, NATURAL,

LIKE YOU'RE
DIVING DOWN INTO.

I WANT TO FEEL THE SAND
BETWEEN MY TOES.

I DON'T WANT TO FEEL
JUST THE REGULAR POOL BOTTOM.

I'M STARTING TO GET A VISION
HERE. I LIKE THAT.

AND HEAR THE AIRPLANE?

- YEAH.
- JETS.

WOW, IT LOOKS LIKE ITS
LANDING IN YOUR - - THAT'S CRAZY.

THERE'S NOT A LOT OF JET,

BUT THERE'S ENOUGH THAT WE WOULD
LIKE SOME LOUD WATERFALL.

I GOTCHA.

SO, WE'LL GET SOME HEIGHT

SO THAT WAY THE WATER
SOUNDS REALLY - -

DROWN OUT THOSE JETS,
YEAH.

SO WITH ANY DESIGN AND BUILD,

I GET MY INSPIRATION
FROM THE CLIENTS, OF COURSE,

BUT ALSO THEIR YARD.

SEEING WHAT'S ALREADY THERE.

YOU HAVE THIS NICE SIDE YARD
YOU CAN DEVELOP

INTO ANOTHER SEATING AREA
OR SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE.

SEEING WHAT NEEDS TO BE
KIND OF MASKED OR COVERED OVER.

THE FOCAL POINT HERE
REALLY SEEMS TO BE

KIND OF WHERE THE SHED IS,

SO IF WE DO
A NICE WATER FEATURE,

GIVE IT SOME HEIGHT
SO IT BLOCKS OUT THE SHED.

THAT'D BE
REALLY, REALLY GREAT.

I HAVE A BIG IMAGINATION,

BUT I STILL LIKE TO PHYSICALLY
GO THROUGH THE MOTIONS,

REALLY DIVE IN DEEP
TO THE DESIGN.

I KNOW I LOOK A LITTLE LOONEY.

LUCAS, YOU GO TO THE BAR
BEFORE YOU COME?

I'LL DO
WHATEVER IT TAKES IN ORDER

TO JUST REALLY GET MYSELF
INVOLVED WITH THE DESIGN.

IF MANNY AND I
ARE GONNA HIRE LUCAS,

HE REALLY NEEDS TO BE
ON THE SAME PAGE WITH US.

WE WANT SOMETHING
THAT IS GOING TO BE A STATEMENT.

WE REALLY WANT TO HEAR
WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS

AND YOUR DRAWINGS WOULD BE.

HOWEVER, WE GOT A LITTLE - -
SOME INSPIRATION FOR YOU.

HOW'S THAT?

OKAY.

THIS IS
MY GRANDSON'S PICTURE.

MY GRANDSON, TREVOR,
HE'S 5 YEARS OLD,

AND HE'S REALLY THE INSPIRATION
FOR THIS LAGOON.

IT HAS THE ROCKS
AND THE POOL,

AND HE'S GONNA DIVE OFF
OVER HERE.

HE WAS ALL EXCITED
ABOUT THE POOL,

SO HE WANTED YOU
TO HAVE THAT.

AWW, THAT'S CUTE.

MAYBE I JUST NEED TO

PUT MY INTERPRETATION
QUICKLY DOWN IN A SKETCH.

BASICALLY, YOU GOT YOUR HOUSE
IN AN L-SHAPE LIKE THIS.

WE CAN KIND OF COME OUT
AWAY FROM THIS CORNER.

MAYBE BRING IT BACK A LITTLE
AROUND IN HERE.

THIS WOULD BE A GREAT PLACE
TO HAVE

THE BIG FLORIDA LIMESTONE
KIND OF STACKED UP IN HERE.

AND LIKE A BIG KIND OF GROTTO
ROCK RIGHT HERE.

AND A BIG WATERFALL
TO BLOCK OUT THAT SHED.

YOU TALKED ABOUT
WANTING A SAND BEACH AREA.

AND SO THIS WOULD BE
A NATURAL AREA

TO MAYBE HAVE SOME SAND
AND RETAIN IT

WITH SOME BIGGER BOULDERS.

NICE.

MAYBE THIS IS LIKE
SEVEN FOOT OF DEPTH.

THIS WOULD BE FOUR.

WE LIKE THAT.

GOOD.

WE'RE PUTTING A LOT OF OUR
SAVINGS INTO THIS PROJECT,

SO IT'S VERY IMPORTANT
THIS LAGOON BE JUST RIGHT.

I LOVE
WHERE THIS IS GOING.

I CAN SEE IT ALREADY IN MY MIND,
SO I'M READY TO GO FOR IT.

SO, YOU GUYS JUST TELL ME
YEAH, LET'S DO IT.

YES, YES.
THAT'S A YES.

YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME.

I'M EXCITED THAT KIM AND MANNY

WANT TO MOVE FORWARD
WITH THE PROJECT.

THEY HAVE AN 8-WEEK TIMEFRAME
AND $120,000 BUDGET

TO BUILD THEM A TROPICAL OASIS
IN THEIR BACKYARD.

ALL RIGHT,
WE'LL SEE YOU SOON.

THE MARTINEZ PROJECT
IS GONNA BE PRETTY HUGE,

BUT THE FIRST THING
WE HAVE TO DO

IS START WITH DEMOLITION
AND A CLEAN SLATE.

MY NAME IS CHRIS, AKA "CRASH."

I'VE BEEN WITH LUCAS LAGOONS
SINCE THE BEGINNING.

I'M THE FIRST ONE
USUALLY HERE AT THE JOB.

I GOT TO DO THE SCRAPING, GET
EVERYTHING PREPPED FOR THE GUYS.

KIM AND MANNY,
THEY BASICALLY WANT TO HAVE

THE CARIBBEAN RETREAT.

CARIBBEAN THEME
FOR THE MARTINEZ?

NOW WE'RE TALKING.

THIS IS ACTUALLY GONNA BE
A SANDY BEACH AREA.

OVER HERE, MORE ROCK WORK,
SOME KIND OF LOWER WATERFALL,

BUILDING UP
TO THE MAIN FEATURE

WHICH IS IN THIS AREA,
THE GROTTO.

ALSO, THEY WANT
A LOT OF NOISE

BECAUSE LOOK AT ALL THE PLANES
COMING IN AND OUT.

THEY'RE RIGHT BY
THE AIRPORT.

SO, THEY WANT TO DROWN OUT
THE PLANE NOISE

WITH NICE
WATERFALL SOUNDS!

WE CAN DO THAT.

ARE THEY DOING
OUTDOOR SHOWER

OR A PLACE
TO RINSE YOUR FEET OFF?

AND TYPICALLY
ON THE ISLANDS, YOU KNOW,

THEY HAVE
THESE LITTLE OUTDOOR SHOWERS,

AND THAT'S
WHAT I WAS THINKING OF.

WELL, THAT'D ACTUALLY BE
A PRETTY GOOD IDEA

HAVING A SHOWER OUT HERE,

SO I'LL LET YOU BE IN CHARGE
OF THAT ONE.

YEAH,
I CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN.

SO THEN OVER IN HERE,
WE'RE GONNA DO THE FIRE PIT.

CRASH, I'LL PUT YOU
IN CHARGE OF THAT.

MATTY FISH.

THEY WANT TO DO
A SALTWATER POOL.

BECAUSE I HAVE A BACKGROUND
IN DOING PONDS,

FILTRATION FOR FISH TANKS,
THAT HAPPENS TO BE MY FORTE.

GOT TO MAKE
A HAMMOCK SOMEWHERE.

BETWEEN
THE COCONUT PALMS?

YOU CAN'T GET MORE CARIBBEAN

THAN A HAMMOCK
AND COCONUT PALMS.

ALL RIGHT, ONE MORE PROJECT
FOR YOU TO DO NOW.

YEAH!

LET'S GET TO WORK
ON THIS THING.

LET'S DO THIS.
GREAT.

THE FIRST THING WE DO IS,
WE PAINT THE LINES.

GIVE THE OUTLINE
OF THE POOL SHELL.

FIVE, SIX RADIUS POINTS.

ALL RIGHT,
SO WE GOT TO COME 11½½ FEET

OFF THE CENTER OF THAT WINDOW,

AND THEN 8 FEET
OFF THE STRING LINE.

THIS IS THE GROTTO,
AND YOU'RE GONNA BE CLOSE

TO 9 FOOT.

LOOK AT
THE PRETTY LINE NOW.

IT'S LOOKING GOOD.

SO, WE GOT IT ALL LAID OUT.

NOW WE ALL GOT TO DO IS START
DIGGING, AND THAT'S MY JOB.

ALL RIGHT,
I GET TO DIG NOW!

YEAH, MAN,
LET'S GO GET THAT MACHINE.

THERE'S NOTHING BETTER
THAN MOVING SOME DIRT.

MY FAVORITE THING TO DO.

STILL GOOD.

WE FINALLY GOT THE HOLE DUG.

NOW IT'S TIME FOR THE REBAR.

REBAR IS LONG STICKS OF STEEL.

IT COMES IN DIFFERENT LENGTHS
AND SIZES AND THICKNESSES.

ALL THESE ROCKS ARE,
LIKE, THOUSANDS OF POUNDS,

SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE
EVERYTHING'S SAFE.

NOW THAT THE SKELETON OF
THE WHOLE POOL, THE REBAR, IS IN,

YOU CAN REALLY START SEEING IT
TAKE SHAPE.

FOR THIS NEW PROJECT,
WE'RE USING SHOTCRETE

BECAUSE THAT'S THE STRONGEST
MATERIAL THAT YOU CAN USE.

IT'S GONNA LAST FOREVER.

TODAY WE'RE BRINGING IN
48 TONS OF STONE.

KIM AND MANNY WANTED
THEIR CARIBBEAN OASIS

TO BE INDIGENOUS TO FLORIDA,

SO I'M USING
ALL NATIVE FLORIDA STONE

TO START MAKING THIS CARIBBEAN
OASIS COME ALIVE.

I REALLY AM INTERESTED TO SEE
WHAT LUCAS HAS.

I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED
THAT MAYBE WE WON'T GET

THE SIZE OF THE BOULDERS
THAT WE WANT.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS,
COME CHECK IT OUT.

YOUR FIRST LOAD OF FLORIDA
LIMESTONE HAS ARRIVED.

I WAS THINKING ABOUT
DOING SOME VERTICALLY.

NICE.

BUT I GOT A LOT OF BIGGER ONES
OVER HERE.

I MEAN, LOOK AT LIKE THESE
THREE HERE ARE THE BIGGEST ONES.

THIS ONE - -
I LOVE IT.

IF WE STAND THIS ONE UP,
IT'LL BE, LIKE, 6-FEET TALL.

THESE ARE GREAT, LUCAS,
I HAVE TO ADMIT.

I WAS A LITTLE AFRAID

THAT YOU WERE GONNA GET
STUPID LITTLE ROCKS.

LUCAS LAGOONS
DOESN'T DO STUPID LITTLE.

YOU LIKE THE COLOR TONES?

I LOVE THE WHITE.

I PREFER THE WHITE
OVER THE MORE GOLD TONES,

SO THESE ARE PERFECT.

I MEAN,
I PREFER THIS COLOR MYSELF,

BUT IT SEEMS LIKE
A LOT OF PEOPLE REALLY WANT

THE ORANGEY COLORED ONES.

YOU KNOW WE'RE NOT
A LOT OF PEOPLE, THOUGH.

RIGHT.
NO, YOU GUYS ARE SPECIAL.

AND SPEAKING OF SPECIAL,

WE HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL
FOR YOU.

GOSH.

I REALLY DO LIKE THE ROCKS.

LUCAS DID A GOOD JOB SO FAR.

ALTHOUGH MANNY AND I WANTED
TO INTERJECT A LITTLE BIT MORE

OF THAT CARIBBEAN FEEL,

SO I HAVE A SPECIAL SURPRISE
FOR LUCAS

THAT MIGHT DO JUST THE TRICK.

WHAT HAVE YOU GUYS DONE?

THE MARTINEZ PROJECT
IS A CHALLENGE

IN THAT THEY WANT THE CARIBBEAN
IN THEIR BACKYARD.

THEY WANT WHITE SAND.
THEY WANT PALM TREES.

KIM AND MANNY REALLY LIKE
THE CAP ROCK I BROUGHT IN,

BUT I GUESS THEY HAVE
SOME SORT OF SURPRISE FOR ME.

THAT BIG TRUCK COMING DOWN
THE STREET RIGHT NOW

IS REALLY STARTING
TO MAKE ME FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE.

I DON'T THINK HE HAD ANY IDEA
WHAT I MIGHT COME UP WITH.

BEAUTIFUL.
AWESOME.

DESIGN AWAY.

WOW, OKAY.

THOSE ARE
DEFINITELY DIFFERENT.

I THINK THESE BEAUTIFUL
CARIBBEAN GREEN ROCKS

ARE GONNA REALLY MAKE
THIS LAGOON VERY SPECIAL.

I MEAN,
THEY'RE PRETTY ROCKS.

IT'S JUST NOT REALLY GOING
WITH WHAT I HAD IN MY MIND.

YOU CAN DO IT.
OKAY.

- TIME TO GET INSPIRED.
- YOU DO THAT.

WE'LL CHECK IN ON YOU.
WE'LL CHECK IN LATER.

ALL RIGHT.
GOOD LUCK.

KIM'S REALLY GIVEN ME
A DESIGN CHALLENGE

WITH THESE GREEN ROCKS.

THESE ARE HEAVY.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
WITH THESE GREEN ROCKS.

I WISH THEY'D JUST GO AWAY.

I'M TRYING TO VISUALIZE,
YOU KNOW,

PUTTING THEM IN THE LANDSCAPE.

MAYBE - - MAYBE I SHOULD
JUST KIND OF USE

MULTIPLE GREEN ROCKS
TO MAKE A FIRE PIT.

MAYBE I SHOULD USE THEM
FOR SPILLWAYS

MAYBE OF WATER
KIND OF SPILLING OFF OF THEM.

NOTHING'S MAKING SENSE.

SEE THOSE ROCKS?

LIKE, TRYING TO BUILD A GROTTO
OR WHAT MY DESIGN WAS

WITH THOSE IS JUST - -

KIM HAS INSISTED THAT WE HAVE TO
INCORPORATE HER GREEN ROCK.

I REALLY DON'T LIKE THEM.

I DON'T THINK THEY'RE GONNA
LOOK GOOD IN THIS PROJECT,

BUT HOPEFULLY IN THE END,

I'LL BE ABLE TO APPRECIATE
THE GREEN ROCKS

AND NOT HATE 'EM
LIKE I DO RIGHT NOW.

HEY, LAGOON SQUAD!
I NEED SOME IDEAS.

THEY THREW ME THROUGH A LOOP
AND GOT SOME TURQUOISE ROCKS

SUPPOSEDLY FROM THE CARIBBEAN.

SO, IT'S QUITE A DESIGN
CHALLENGE, ALTHOUGH - -

I THINK
THEY SHOULD HAVE STAYED THERE.

I ACTUALLY LIKE THE GREEN ROCK,
YOU KNOW, AND I'M ALREADY,

LIKE, FORMULATING SOME IDEAS
IN MY HEAD.

HOW ABOUT WE PUT THAT ROCK
INSIDE THE GROTTO?

KIND OF LIKE A GEODE.

WHEN YOU BREAK THE ROCK OPEN.

ONE ROCK ON THE OUTSIDE,

AND A DIFFERENT ONE
ON THE INSIDE?

YOU CAN DO LIKE
ONE LAYER OF THAT.

OF SEDIMENTARY ROCK.

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA
BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH

TO SPREAD AROUND
THE WHOLE POOL.

IT SOUNDS LIKE WE HAVE GOOD IDEA
THAT WE CAN, YOU KNOW,

APPROACH KIM AND MANNY WITH.

SO, HOW ABOUT THIS?

WHOSOEVER IDEA IS PICKED
GETS A FREE STEAK DINNER.

I'D RATHER HAVE
THE DAY OFF.

I'D RATHER HAVE
A DAY OFF, TOO.

I THINK I'LL GO GET THEM
AND FIND OUT WHO'S THE WINNER.

I HAVE NO PROBLEM
WITH THE CONTEST

'CAUSE WE'RE ALL A LITTLE
COMPETITIVE WITH EACH OTHER.

THE CREW AND I HAVE COME UP
WITH FOUR OPTIONS.

WHOEVER THE WINNER IS

IS GONNA EITHER GET
A STEAK DINNER OR A DAY OFF,

WHATEVER THEY WANT, SO - -

AND I WAS SURPRISED
THAT HE ACTUALLY INTEGRATED

HIS TEAM TO COME UP
WITH THE IDEAS,

TO KIND OF COME UP
WITH THE GAME PLAN.

THE FIRST IDEA IS,
INSTEAD OF A GROTTO,

CREATING A STREAM
THAT COMES DOWN BECAUSE NATURE,

YOU'LL SEE DIFFERENT ROCKS
TOGETHER IN A STREAM SETTING

WHERE THEY'VE COME OFF
OF DIFFERENT MOUNTAINS.

I'M NOT
FOR THE STREAM THING.

I LIKE
THE STREAM THING.

AND THEN THE SECOND IDEA
WAS TO CREATE A GEODE EFFECT

WHERE INSIDE THE GROTTO,
WE DO THIS ROCK.

SO ON THE OUTSIDE CRUST
IS ONE LAYER,

AND ON THE LAYER
IS THE MORE SEMI-PRECIOUS STONE

WHICH WOULD BE LIKE THIS ROCK.

YOU'LL STILL HAVE
A GROTTO?

RIGHT, YOU'LL STILL HAVE
A GROTTO.

THIRD IDEA WOULD BE
TO USE THE ROCKS

UNDERNEATH THE WATERLINE,

JUST KIND OF RANDOMLY
INTERSPERSE THEM

THROUGHOUT THE DESIGN

SO THEY'RE JUST KIND OF
ACCENT ROCKS HERE AND THERE.

AND THE FOURTH IDEA IS,

WE COULD JUST DO A WATER FEATURE
OVER THERE

ON THE FAR SIDE ALL BY ITSELF.

THAT WAY, YOU CAN SEE THEM.

THE WATER'S RUNNING OVER
THEM ALL

SO WE CAN MAKE A FEATURE
OVER THERE.

SO, THOSE WERE THE FOUR IDEAS
THAT WE'VE COME UP WITH.

LUCAS AND THE CREW
HAVE REALLY COME UP

WITH SOME INTERESTING IDEAS

ON HOW TO UTILIZE
MY CARIBBEAN GREEN ROCKS.

SO, MAYBE WE WOULD DO
THE TWO WATER FEATURES.

DO THE GREEN ONES
DOWN IN THERE.

AND THEN THE ONE HERE.
DO THAT WATER.

BUT IF YOU INTEGRATE
THIS INTO THE GROTTO,

LIKE YOU SAID, YOU CAN DO
A WATERFALL OVER THERE

'CAUSE IT TIES.

SO, TO ME, THAT SOUNDS LIKE
A HYBRID IDEA

BETWEEN WOMAN
AND OLD MAN'S,

SO I GUESS YOU GUYS
ARE BOTH WINNERS,

SO YOU BOTH WON YOURSELF
A PROJECT.

I'M PUTTING YOU GUYS IN CHARGE
OF THE GROTTO.

SO WE WON
MORE RESPONSIBILITY.

YEAH, BUT YOU ALSO WON A DAY OFF
SOME TIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

I ALWAYS LIKE IT WHEN THERE ARE
MORE MINDS THAN ONE

TO COME UP WITH AN IDEA.

AND I LIKE THE FACT

THAT LUCAS WORKS WITH HIS CREW
VERY CLOSELY,

AND THAT GIVES ME
A CERTAIN TRUST GOING FORWARD

THAT THEY WILL CONTINUE
TO COLLABORATE

AND COME UP WITH
A BETTER PROJECT

THAN ANY
SINGLE ONE OF THEM WOULD.

SO, I'M REALLY EXCITED
ABOUT THAT.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS,
LET'S GET TO WORK

AND START BUILDING THIS THING.

ALL RIGHT.
FINALLY.

FINALLY TIME TO SET ROCKS,

SO WE HAVE ALL HANDS ON DECK
RIGHT NOW.

OKAY, I'M MAKING THE MUD,

WHICH BASICALLY CONSISTS
OF A MIX OF PORTLAND CEMENT,

SAND,
AND THEN ADD SOME DYE IN IT

TO MAKE IT BLEND IN SEAMLESSLY.

WOMAN WANTS TO TRY TO PIECE IN
SOME GREEN ROCKS

UNDERNEATH THE CAP ROCK.

THESE TWO DIFFERENT
KIND OF ROCKS,

THEY'RE NOT REALLY NATURAL
WITH EACH OTHER.

I THINK THE OVERALL PICTURE
IS GONNA TURN OUT FINE

BECAUSE THERE'S GONNA BE
WATER ON THE GREEN ROCK.

IT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE IT
NATURALLY ERODED

THE WHITE ROCK
AWAY FROM THE GREEN,

AND IT'LL BLEND IN TOGETHER
IN THE POOL.

KIM AND MANNY
REALLY WANT THIS GREEN ROCK IN,

SO WE'RE GONNA DO IT.

WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT WORK.

I KIND OF LIKE THESE
GREEN ROCKS.

THEY DO HAVE
A CARIBBEAN FEEL TO 'EM,

AND THAT'S WHAT KIM WANTS,
SO I CAN WORK WITH 'EM.

NOW THAT WE'RE WRESTLING
THESE GREEN ROCKS INTO PLACE,

IT'S REALLY STARTING
TO COME TOGETHER.

NO, THAT'S PERFECT
JUST LIKE THAT

'CAUSE THE WATER
CAN SNEAK RIGHT UNDER IT.

IT LOOKS GOOD.

NOT ONLY DID WE INCORPORATE
THE GREEN ROCKS INTO THE BUILD,

BUT WE ACTUALLY CREATED
ANOTHER LITTLE WATERFALL

WITH ONE OF 'EM.

FIRST I WANT TO
GET THIS PLUMBING DONE,

AND THEN WE CAN CAP OFF
THIS WATERFALL.

THE KEY
TO A LUCAS LAGOON WATERFALL

IS THAT YOU DON'T SEE
HOW IT WORKS.

WHAT I USE IS A SERIES OF T's

TO DISPERSE THE WATER
EVENLY ACROSS THE ROCK.

WHAT I DO IS I SPRAY
ALL THE PIPES BLACK

JUST SO THAT THEY HIDE BETTER.

THIS IS GONNA DISTRIBUTE
OUR WATER

NICE AND EVENLY
ACROSS THIS STONE.

LOOK AT THAT.

RIGHT ON THE LEVEL.

AND AT THE END,
I CAP IT OFF WITH A CAP

TO BUILD BACK PRESSURE.

AND THE COOL THING IS,
WITH THE VARIABLE SPEED PUMP,

WE CAN TURN THAT UP
AT A HIGH RPM

TO CREATE A LOT OF WATER NOISE.

KIM AND MANNY ARE RIGHT,
YOU KNOW.

IF WE'RE GONNA USE THESE ROCKS,

WE MIGHT AS WELL
PUT WATER OVER 'EM.

THE WATER COMING OFF
THIS GREEN ROCK

IS REALLY GONNA
BRING THE COLOR OUT.

WE'LL JUST KEEP ON
CONTINUING DOWN

AND GET ONTO THE GROTTO NEXT.

YEAH, THAT LOOKS GOOD.
A LOT BETTER, NICE.

IT'S THE GROTTO LID.

HOLY CAMOLI.

WE'RE SETTING THE GROTTO LID,

AND THIS FLORIDA LIMESTONE
IS HUGE.

I CAN'T REALLY SEE, MAN.

YOU SHOULD TELL ME
WHERE I NEED TO GO.

THIS ROCK'S SO BIG.

THIS ONE'S PROBABLY
ONE OF THE BIGGEST,

HEAVIEST ONES I'VE EVER SET.

GO A LITTLE BIT MORE!

MY MACHINE'S READY TO LIFT,
LIKE, 6,000 POUNDS,

AND THIS FEELS LIKE
EVERY BIT OF 6,000 POUNDS.

DUDE, ALL IT WANTS TO DO IS
CHEW THROUGH THOSE STRAPS.

I DON'T THINK WE'VE EVER USED
EIGHT STRAPS FOR ONE ROCK, MAN.

THAT THING IS SO HUGE.
THAT'S GOT TO BE 12-FEET LONG.

IT SOUNDED LIKE THERE WAS A LOT
OF TENSION ON THE STRAPS,

AND LUCAS WAS CONCERNED THAT
THEY WERE GONNA POSSIBLY SNAP.

COME ON IN.

ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.
WE'RE GOING DOWN.

DOWN.

HOLD UP!
I SEE A DISASTER!

THAT THING IS SO HUGE.
THAT'S GOT TO BE 12-FEET LONG.

ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.
GOING DOWN.

TODAY, THE TEAM AND I
ARE IN SARASOTA, FLORIDA.

WE'RE AT THE MARTINEZ RESIDENCE.

WE'RE GONNA BUILD THEM
THE CARIBBEAN POOL

THAT THEY'VE
ALWAYS BEEN DREAMING ABOUT.

BOOM OUT A LITTLE.

BEAUTIFUL, GOOD.

JUST KEEP IT TURNING LIKE THAT
AS YOU COME DOWN.

KEEP TWISTING IT.

OKAY, DOWN.

HOLD ON!
I SEE A DISASTER.

WE'VE SET THIS HUGE ROCK,

AND THE STRAPS
ARE STUCK UNDERNEATH IT.

I BELIEVE
WITH THE RIGHT FULCRUM,

I CAN GET IT WITH THE BAR.

SO, I GOT CRASH LIFTING IT UP.

- THE ROCK'S TIPPING.
- WHOA, WHOA!

YOU'RE LIFTING
THE UNDERNEATH ONE.

REALLY?

HOOK THIS,
AND I'LL PULL IT OUT.

HOLD ON.
STRAIGHTEN IT OUT LIKE - -

GOT IT.

LEVEL RIGHT THERE.

NOW THE LID IS IN PLACE.

THERE'S A SIGH OF RELIEF.

CRISIS AVERTED.

SO, WE HAVE THIS ONE ROCK.
IT'S PRETTY UNIQUE.

IT'S GOT A BIG HOLE
IN THE CENTER OF IT.

I'VE NEVER IN ALL MY YEARS
SEEN A ROCK SO GORGEOUS

WITH THAT BIG
OF A NATURAL HOLE IN IT.

WE DUG THE DIRT OUT.

I DIDN'T KNOW
WE PLANT ROCKS, TOO.

WE WERE CAREFUL
NOT TO PLACE THE ROCK

ON THE PLUMBING AND BREAK THAT.

WELL, WOMAN,
IF THAT'S A DOUGHNUT, MAN,

I TOOK A BITE OUT OF IT.

IT'S ALMOST A SHAME TO USE IT.

I SHOULD HAVE MOLDED IT FIRST
SO I COULD REPLICATE IT.

I MEAN, YOU'LL NEVER FIND
ANOTHER ROCK LIKE IT.

THIS TO ME IS AS BIG
OF A FEATURE AS THE GROTTO.

MAN, THAT'S GONNA LOOK
AWESOME WITH A PALM TREE

GROWING THROUGH THERE
LIKE MAGIC.

IN NATURE,
PLANTS GROW TO THE LIGHT.

AND LIKE A SEED DROPPED
BEHIND A ROCK,

AND IT HAD A HOLE IN IT,

AND IT NATURALLY
KIND OF REACH THROUGH THERE.

PEEKABOO, MOMMY.

LUCAS.

IT'S A MIXED BAG
WORKING WITH MY SON.

EVEN THOUGH
I GET TO BE CREATIVE,

AND I GET TO BE AROUND MY SON,
SOMETIMES THAT'S HARD.

PEEKABOO, I SEE YOU.

MY GOD.
PEEKABOO.

MY SON IS A CREATIVE GENIUS.

LUCAS HAS JUST GOT SO MANY IDEAS
GOING.

LOOK, YOU COULD PLAY LIMBO
WITH THIS THING.

YEAH.

THAT'S MY BOY!
HE'S BRILLIANT!

THAT WAS SEXY.

HEY, SUNSHINE, COME ON,
WE GOT TO SEAL THIS.

LUCAS PUT ME IN CHARGE

OF BUILDING THIS
CORAL REEF RETAINING WALL.

ON THE ONE END OF THE POOL,
WE WANT TO HAVE THE SAND BOTTOM,

SO WHEN THEY WALK INTO THE POOL,

IT'LL FEEL LIKE THEY'RE ACTUALLY
IN THE CARIBBEAN.

SO, I WAS THINKING WE USE
THESE CAP ROCKS

TO PUT, LIKE, THREE OF THEM DOWN
TO CREATE A REEF WALL

TO HOLD BACK THE SAND.

SO, PRETTY MUCH THE SAND
ON THE ONE SIDE, THE ROCKS,

THE REEF HERE GOING OUT
INTO THE DEEP BLUE.

IT'LL BE COOL.

YEAH.
BANG IT RIGHT OUT.

ALL RIGHT.

WORKING WITH ROCKS
HAS BEEN MY LIFELONG PASSION.

MY GRANDFATHER
WAS A STONE MASON,

AND I GUESS I'M FOLLOWING
IN HIS FOOTSTEPS.

WE'RE AT MY FRIEND CLAUDIO'S

TO PICK UP SOME PALM TREES

FOR THE MARTINEZ
CARIBBEAN THEMED PROJECT.

WHY AM I EVEN HERE, MAN?
I DON'T DO PLANTS.

I DO ROCKS.

HEY, YOU'RE THE ONE THAT
CAME UP WITH THE BIG IDEA

FOR THE HAMMOCK
BETWEEN THE COCONUT PALMS.

WELL, NEXT TIME, I'M JUST GONNA
KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT.

I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT.

CRASH DOESN'T REALLY
WANT TO BE HERE.

I MEAN, THE LAST THING
HE WANTS TO DO

IS BE WALKING AROUND
LOOKING AT PLANTS,

ESPECIALLY WITH ME.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHAT
THIS THING WAS MEANT FOR.

I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW
THAT I GET ALONG WITH WOMAN

'CAUSE THAT MIGHT JUST RUIN ME.

IN THE CARIBBEAN, YOU SEE A
COUPLE OF CURVED COCONUT TREES.

YOU GOT THE HAMMOCK
LAYING ON IT.

SO, I'M TRYING
TO REPRODUCE THAT.

THIS ONE HAS GOT A LITTLE BIT
OF A CURVE TO IT.

AND I'VE GOT ONE BACK THERE,
BOTH ABOUT THE SAME HEIGHT.

ABOUT THERE.

USE ME
AS A MEASURING STICK.

THIS ONE HERE?

DO YOUR LITTLE MEASURING STICK
UP THERE.

ABOUT THE SAME.

IT'S ABOUT THE SAME.
LET'S GO FOR IT.

FOR ONCE, ME AND WOMAN
ACTUALLY AGREED ON SOMETHING.

ALL RIGHT, SO WE'VE GOT TO FIND
THIS PYGMY DATE.

TYPICALLY WHEN WE HAVE
A ROCK WITH A HOLE IN IT,

LUCAS LIKES TO GET
A PYGMY PALM.

THERE'S A NICE TRIPLE
BACK HERE.

LET'S CHECK THIS GUY OUT.

I THINK THIS ONE
MIGHT ACTUALLY WORK.

IT'S GOT TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT
OF CURVE TO IT,

'CAUSE AS YOU FEED IT
THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE ROCK,

YOU WANT IT
TO COME BACK UP AGAIN.

THE GOOD THING ABOUT THIS,

WE HAVE THREE OPTIONS
WITH THIS ONE.

YEAH, THERE YOU GO.

OKAY, I THINK I LIKE THIS ONE.
LET'S TAG IT.

CAN DO.

CRASH AND I HAD
A PRETTY EASY DAY.

I MEAN, WE FOUND
WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR.

WE GOT ALONG.

I'D HAVE TO SAY, ALL IN ALL,
HE WAS PRETTY DECENT COMPANY.

THE DAY IS STILL EARLY.

I KNOW.
THE DAY'S STILL EARLY.

FOR NOW,
LET'S ENJOY THE SERENITY.

OKAY,
I CAN DEAL WITH THAT.

THE TRAVERTINE'S ARRIVED.

NOW WE'RE READY
TO START LAYING IT.

THE IDEA BEHIND
THIS IVORY TRAVERTINE

IS REPLICATING
A BEAUTIFUL WHITE SAND BEACH.

WE'VE USED FLORIDA FIELDSTONE
AS COPING AROUND THE POOL

WHICH IS VERY JAGGED
AND IRREGULAR SHAPED.

IT'S GONNA TAKE A LOT OF TIME
FOR THESE GUYS TO CUT EACH PIECE

TO FIT AROUND THE ROCK
SO IT LOOKS ORGANIC.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT IN THERE.

IT'S REALLY GONNA START MAKING

EVERYTHING
START FEELING COMPLETED.

WHEN WE FIRST MET
WITH THE MARTINEZES,

SAID, WE SHOULD BUILD THEM
AN OUTDOOR SHOWER,

JUST KIND OF OFF THE CUFF.

THAT IS
YOUR OUTDOOR SHOWER IDEA?

IT'S NOT GONNA BE
AGAINST THE WALL.

IT'S GONNA DO IT, LIKE,
IN ONE OF THE PALM TREES.

HOLD ON, THERE WE GO.

YOU LOOK GOOD NOW.

I AM YOUR FATHER.

I THINK MY MOM'S GETTING
A LITTLE TOO RUSTIC

WITH THIS CARIBBEAN THEME.

THIS IS LUCAS LAGOONS.

WE'RE NOT GONNA PUT
SOME JENKY BUCKET UP IN A TREE

AND PULL A CHAIN.

I THINK
KIM WANTS TO BE PAMPERED.

I DON'T THINK HER IDEA OF TAKING
AN OUTDOOR SHOWER

IS DUMPING A BUCKET OF WATER
OVER HER HEAD.

GIVE ME THAT BUCKET.

I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT I THINK
OF YOUR IDEA.

THAT'S WHAT I THINK
ABOUT THAT.

SO, OF COURSE,
MY SON DECIDES TO GO BIG

AND CREATE THIS OUTDOOR CAVE.

I DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE,
LIKE, A REGULAR SHOWER

WHERE IT'S JUST COMING
OUT OF THE WALL.

I WANT IT TO FEEL LIKE A CAVE
YOU'RE WALKING INTO,

AND IT'S RAINING DOWN.

THIS IS
A CLOSED CELL FOAM.

IT DOESN'T ABSORB WATER.
RIGHT.

IT'S VERY DENSE
AND VERY STRONG.

THE KEY TO THIS SHOWER
IS TYING IT INTO

THE REST
OF THE CARIBBEAN THEMED LAGOON

SO IT LOOKS LIKE
IT BELONGS THERE.

THIS SHOWER PROJECT KIND OF
KILLS TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE.

I MEAN, NOT ONLY IS IT BLOCKING
THE UNSIGHTLY PROPANE TANK,

BUT IT'S ALSO CREATING
A FEATURE IN A PART OF THE YARD

THAT NORMALLY WOULDN'T BE USED.

YOU'RE WALKING INTO
A CAVE HERE.

THAT'S GONNA BE FUN.

IT'S GONNA BE SOMETHING

THAT THEY WANT TO
FIND AN EXCUSE TO USE.

WHY AM I DOWN HERE,
AND YOU'RE UP THERE?

'CAUSE I GOT HERE FIRST.

SO, LUCAS CAME UP
WITH THIS DESIGN,

AND PERSONALLY,
IT LOOKS KIND OF LIKE A BEEHIVE.

HE'S ALWAYS THINKING BIGGER
AND BETTER.

HONESTLY,
I AM A LITTLE SKEPTICAL.

WOMAN HAD THIS IDEA
OF DOING THIS OUTDOOR SHOWER.

HER IDEA WAS MUCH SIMPLER
THAN MINE,

BUT HEY, IT'S LUCAS LAGOONS.

WE GOT TO DO EVERYTHING
OVER THE TOP.

SO, WE STARTED
WITH SOME RIGID FOAM PANELS,

A SLAB WITH POSTS SET IN 'EM
TO HOLD THE FOAM.

WE KIND OF
RETROFITTED THEM TOGETHER,

THEN WE'RE GONNA COVER THE SHELL
WITH MORTAR

AND TEXTURIZE IT
TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE ROCK.

GONNA NEED,
LIKE, 20 BATCHES.

IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS
ARTIFICIAL ROCK LOOK NATURAL,

AND WE'RE ALSO PUTTING THE DYES
INTEGRALLY INTO THE MORTAR

SO EVEN WITH THE SUN BEATING
DOWN ON IT, AND IT FADES,

IT'S STILL GONNA HAVE
THE RIGHT COLOR TO IT.

HOW DID YOU GET MUD
DOWN MY PANTS?

PERSONALLY, IT LOOKS
KIND OF LIKE A BEEHIVE.

I WASN'T SAYING I DIDN'T
LIKE IT. I WAS JUST SAYING - -

YOU WERE SAYING
IT LOOKED LIKE A BEEHIVE.

I LOVE MESSING WITH WOMAN.

I MIGHT HAVE HAD THE IDEA,

BUT I DIDN'T COME UP
WITH THE DESIGN.

THAT WAS SONNY BOY.

HE'S ALWAYS THINKING BIG.
BIGGER AND BETTER.

IT'S A LITTLE MORE EXTRAVAGANT
THAN I WOULD HAVE DONE,

BUT YOU KNOW, THAT'S ME.

I'M JUST A LITTLE MORE SIMPLE,
I GUESS.

SO, WE'RE GONNA GO TO
MY FRIEND CELESTE'S SHOP TODAY.

SEE WHAT SHE MIGHT HAVE

TO KIND OF BRING
THAT CARIBBEAN FLAIR TO IT.

HEY, LUCAS.
HEY, CELESTE.

NICE TO SEE YOU.
NICE TO SEE YOU.

WHAT'S SO GREAT
ABOUT MY FRIEND CELESTE,

SHE HAS GREAT SUSTAINABLE
FURNITURE AND FUNCTIONAL ART.

THIS IS A SUSTAINABLE IGUANA
ON AN OLD DRIFTWOOD LOG.

I CAN SEE HIM HANGING OUT
BY THE LAGOON, JUST KIND OF - -

YEAH, YEAH.

WHAT ELSE WE GOT?
CONTINUE THE TOUR.

THERE'S MORE.
THERE'S DEFINITELY MORE.

YOU EVEN GOT A PIRATE.

ARR, MATEY.

WHAT'S MORE CARIBBEAN THAN
THE PIRATE OF THE CARIBBEAN?

IT'S CRAZY. CELESTE SEEMS
TO HAVE EVERYTHING.

I MEAN, SHE'S GOT PLENTY
OF DECOR

TO TOTALLY DECK OUT
THIS BACKYARD.

I'M LIKING THIS ALREADY.

ARE YOU LIKING IT?

LOOK AT THIS THRONE.

IT'LL LOOK GREAT, YEAH.

CAN YOU TELL WHAT HE BACK
OF THE CHAIR'S MADE OF?

IS THAT AN OLD CANOE?
IT SURE IS.

WELL, I THINK
WE'LL TAKE BOTH OF 'EM.

OKAY, GOOD, YOU GOT IT.

WELL, THE MARTINEZES WANTED
TO PUT A BEACH AREA IN.

SUNSHINE AND I ARE
SPREADING IT OUT.

IT TOOK ABOUT FIVE YARDS OF SAND
TO BUILD THIS BEACH.

THE SAND BRINGS ME BACK TO
WHEN I USED TO GO TO THE BEACH.

I SEE THE MARTINEZES' GRANDSON

BUILDING SAND CASTLES
AND EVERYTHING.

I LOVE IT.

WOW, GUYS.

IT REALLY IS STARTING
TO FEEL LIKE THE CARIBBEAN.

YEAH, REALLY BEACHY,
RIGHT?

THE MARTINEZES WANT TO HAVE
THE SAND BOTTOM

ON ONE SIDE OF THE POOL.

ALL RIGHT,
SO WHO'S BRIGHT IDEA WAS THIS

TO PUT THE WATER IN
BEFORE THE SAND?

CRASH WAS SUPPOSED TO
PUT THE SAND IN FIRST

BEFORE HE FILLED THE POOL.

SO NOW SUNSHINE AND I HAVE TO DO
THINGS THE HARDER WAY.

NOW WE'RE HAND SHOVELING IT
ABOUT A YARD AND A HALF.

IT'S LIKE PUTTING THE CARRIAGE
IN FRONT OF THE HORSE.

YEAH, THAT'S IT.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE PUTTING
SAND INTO THE WATER,

IT CLOUDS IT ALL UP,
AND IT COULD END UP

GETTING OUTSIDE
OF MY CORAL REEF RETAINING WALL.

TO THE BOTTOM
SHE GOES.

LOWER THE SHOVEL IN
AS FAR AS YOU CAN,

THEN IT DOESN'T STAY
ON THE TOP.

I THINK MY CORAL REEF
RETAINING WALL

IS DOING A GOOD JOB
HOLDING BACK THE SAND.

THE MARTINEZES ARE GONNA LOVE
THE BEACH AND SANDY BOTTOM.

IT REALLY CAPTURED THE THEME OF
A CARIBBEAN STYLE SWIMMING POOL.

GUESS
I'LL JUST TAKE A NAP.

LITTLE SIESTA.

ALL RIGHT, OLD MAN.
FEELING STRONG TODAY?

NOT REALLY.

LUCAS PUT ME IN CHARGE
OF THE FIRE PIT.

WE'RE GONNA SURROUND
THIS WHOLE THING

WITH THE CARIBBEAN ROCK.

ORIGINALLY, WE'RE GONNA DO
A FIRE FEATURE

WITH ONE OF KIM'S
GREEN CARIBBEAN ROCK,

BUT THEN WE HAVE SO MANY,
WE JUST DECIDED TO MAKE

A FIRE PIT
WITH THE FOUR EXTRA ROCKS.

WE COULDN'T USE A MACHINE
TO SET THESE ROCKS

BECAUSE IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE TRAVERTINE DECK.

LET'S GO A LITTLE BIT CLOSER
TO YOU.

CLOSER.

SINCE THESE ROCKS WERE SO HEAVY,

WE COULDN'T EVEN CARRY 'EM.

WE HAD TO USE A BALL CART.

HEY!

AND IT'S GONNA BE
A MORE MANLY TYPE FIREPLACE.

I THINK IT'S GONNA TURN OUT
REALLY GOOD.

TURN THIS IN A LITTLE.

NOW THAT THE FIRE PIT'S BUILT
OUT OF THESE GREEN ROCKS,

I'M KIND OF STEPPING BACK
AND LOOKING AT EVERYTHING.

FINALLY, IT ALL MAKES SENSE.

I HAVE TO ADMIT,
THE ROCK'S GROWING ON ME.

I MEAN, THESE GREEN ROCKS
AREN'T A DETRACTION

FROM THE BEAUTY AND
THE NATURALNESS OF THIS DESIGN.

IT ALL BLENDS
WITH THE WHOLE PROJECT.

WHEN I FIRST SAW THEM,

I'M LIKE, NAH,
THESE THINGS, NAH.

I KNOW.
I MEAN, IT JUST - -

I REALLY FOUGHT IT,

BUT IT'S NOT JUST
LIKE A COUPLE RANDOM ROCKS.

IT REALLY TIES
THE WHOLE THING TOGETHER.

THEY'RE LOOKING GOOD.

GOOD JOB, GUYS,
RIGHT THERE.

IN THE END, THE GREEN ROCKS,
THEY DID LOOK GOOD.

I KIND OF LIKE THEM.

THE MARTINEZES
WANT EVERYTHING TO BE NATURAL,

SO THEY CHOSE A SALTWATER
POOL FILTRATION SYSTEM.

SO, HOW DID YOU BECOME AN EXPERT
ON THIS SALTWATER SYSTEM?

PREVIOUS TO LUCAS LAGOONS, I HAD
A NICKNAME OF "MATTY FISH."

'CAUSE I OWNED A PET STORE.

I WENT TO SCHOOL
FOR MARINE BIOLOGY.

YOU CAN MASTER FILTRATION
TO KEEP FISH ALIVE,

YOU SURELY CAN MAKE IT SO THAT
PEOPLE CAN SWIM IN A POOL.

THERE'S A COMMON MISCONCEPTION

WHEN PEOPLE THINK
SALTWATER POOL.

THEY ACTUALLY THINK
THAT IT'S HEAVILY SALTED WATER.

IT'S NOT.

WHAT HAPPENS IS,
THERE'S A SALTWATER CELL,

AND THROUGH ELECTROLYSIS,

SEPARATES THE SODIUM
AND THE CHLORINE SALT.

YOU CAN REGULATE
HOW MUCH CHLORINE

GOES INTO THE SYSTEM NATURALLY.

YOU WOULDN'T TASTE ANY SALT.

IT TASTES LIKE REGULAR WATER,

BUT THERE'S ENOUGH CHLORINE
AND STUFF IN THERE

THAT IT SHOULD
KEEP THE POOL CLEAN.

THIS OVER HERE IS THE PUMP
AND THE SKIMMER BASKET,

SO BASICALLY,
ANY OF THE LARGER THINGS

WILL GET TRAPPED IN THERE,

AND THEY'LL HAVE TO
CLEAN THAT OUT.

SO, HAVING THE SAND IN THE
BOTTOM OF THE POOL - -

SINCE WE HAVE THE WALL
THAT YOU BUILT,

THAT WALL IS GONNA RETAIN MOST
OF THE SAND,

SO THAT'LL CATCH IT.

THE SALTWATER SYSTEM
SEEMS LIKE IT'S GONNA BE

REALLY GOOD
FOR THE PLANTS AROUND THE POOL.

IT'S PRETTY COOL.

THESE ARE THE CONTROLS
FOR THE POOL SYSTEM.

YOU CAN CONTROL EVERYTHING
FROM YOUR LIGHTS, PUMPS,

WHEN THEY'RE RUNNING,
HOW FAST THEY'RE RUNNING

'CAUSE THEY'RE ALL
VARIABLE-SPEED PUMPS.

YOU CAN CONTROL EVERYTHING
FROM YOUR REMOTE OR YOUR TABLET.

AND MAYBE EVEN
YOUR SMARTPHONE.

THERE YOU GO.

YOU HAVE ONE OF THOSE?

YEAH, RIGHT HERE.

'CAUSE SOMETIMES,
YOU'RE NOT SO SMART.

IT'S MAKING ME SMARTER.

IT'S A SMART HELPER.
GOTCHA.

THERE'S ALWAYS A LITTLE BUCKET
LIST AT THE END.

I DON'T WANT TO HURT
THE TREES.

MY PIRATE BUDDY.

GENERALLY WHEN I'M HEADED OUT
TO LUCAS'S JOB,

ME AND WOMAN ARE ALWAYS
IN AN ARGUMENT.

HEY, FRANKIE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING
WITH MY PLANT?

SO, TODAY WE ARE IN SARASOTA.

THE PLANTS HAVE ARRIVED.

WE KNOW WE'RE GETTING CLOSE
TO THE END OF THE BUILD

WHEN WE START DOING LANDSCAPING.

AS USUAL, WOMAN HAS DONE
THE PLANT ORDERING,

SO IT'S ALL HANDS ON DECK
TO GET THEM INTO THE GROUND.

ALL RIGHT, WOMAN,
I THINK IF WE DO AN ARECA PALM

ON THIS SIDE
AND ONE WHERE YOU'RE STANDING,

AND THE TI PLANT IN BETWEEN FOR SOME COLOR.
IT'S REALLY GONNA BLOCK THE VIEW OF THAT HOUSE.

THEY WANT TO FEEL LIKE,
WHEN THEY'RE BACK THERE,

THE REST OF THE WORLD
JUST KIND OF MELTS AWAY.

THEY'RE IN THEIR OWN
CARIBBEAN OASIS.

I LOVE THIS PART BECAUSE
IT REALLY BRINGS THE PROJECT

FROM 100% TO 150%,
AND IT REALLY COMES TO LIFE.

HERE IT IS, FURNITURE
TIME AGAIN ON ANOTHER BUILD,

AND I LOVE THAT PART.

HI, LUCAS, HOW YOU DOING?
HI, CELESTE.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.
GOOD MORNING.

CELESTE IS BRINGING
ALL THAT GREAT FURNITURE

THAT I PICKED OUT AT HER SHOP.

LET'S GO AHEAD
AND OPEN UP THE TRUCK.

MY PIRATE BUDDY.
I REMEMBER YOU.

I'M A LITTLE JEALOUS,
THOUGH.

HE'S ALWAYS GOT A DRINK
IN HIS HAND,

AND I'M TOO BUSY
TO HAVE ONE.

I'M PUTTING YOU
BACK IN THE TROPICAL JUNGLE

WHERE YOU BELONG, BUDDY.

SEND ME AWAY.

COME ON, CRASH.

KIM AND MANNY FROM THE BEGINNING

WANT TO JUST KEEP MAKING
THAT POOL BIGGER

AND BIGGER AND BIGGER,

BUT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT
WANTING TO HAVE

A LOT OF PEOPLE HANGING OUT.

SO, I CALLED MY BUDDY RAY
OVER TO HELP ME OUT.

HOW YOU DOING, BROTHER?
GOOD TO SEE YOU.

GOOD TO SEE YOU, TOO.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

IT'S NEVER BEEN THIS FULL
ON ANY OF THE BUILDS

YOU'VE BROUGHT ME
FURNITURE FOR.

YOU TOLD ME
THAT THEY WANTED TO GO BIG.

WELL, LET'S UNLOAD IT,
AND MAYBE WE COULD CREATE

ANOTHER BONUS
LITTLE SEATING AREA.

MAYBE WE DO A COOL FIRE TABLE
IN THE GARDEN OVER HERE.

I THINK THAT'LL WORK
'CAUSE WE NEED ABOUT THIS SPACE

FOR THE SECTIONAL.

THIS WOULD BE A GREAT SPOT TO
HAVE SOME SEATING, YOU KNOW.

IT'S PERFECT.

THE FURNITURE LOOKS
REALLY AWESOME.

IT'S GOT A NICE
CARIBBEAN FEEL TO IT.

IT'S GOT THOSE, YOU KNOW,
TURQUOISE AND CORAL COLORS.

THUMBS UP.

HEY, LOOK, WOMAN, LOOK.
I GOT A CARIBBEAN HAT HERE.

THIS THING'S AWESOME
FOR SHADE.

I THINK WE FOUND
A GREAT SOLUTION

TO THEIR OUTDOOR
LIVING SITUATION.

THIS IS AWESOME.

I GOT A SURPRISE FOR YOU.
YEAH?

LUCAS LAGOON PILLOWS,
BABY.

NO WAY, DUDE.
THAT'S AWESOME.

THOSE LOOK GREAT.

HEY, WOMAN!
WHERE YOU AT?

HEY, YOU GOT YOUR HAMMOCK.

I NEED SOME HELP.

OF COURSE, I WILL.

YOU'RE PROBABLY GONNA HAVE TO
TEST IT OUT.

SEE IF WE GOT THE RIGHT DISTANCE
WITH OUR GUESSTIMATION.

THAT LOOKS ABOUT GOOD.
YEAH.

IN ORDER TO HANG
A HAMMOCK UP BETWEEN THE TREES,

YOU DON'T WANT TO
DRILL THE COCONUT PALM

'CAUSE THAT COULD DAMAGE IT
AND KILL IT.

I GOT SOME HARDWARE HERE,

SO I DON'T WANT TO
HURT THE TREE.

SAY THAT AGAIN.
WHAT?

I DON'T WANT TO
HURT THE TREE.

WOW.

DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE
A LITTLE INVESTMENT

IN THESE COCONUTS
WE PICKED UP?

A LITTLE BIT.

YOU'RE GONNA BE NICE
TO 'EM.

I DON'T LIKE TO
DESTROY EVERYTHING.

I LIKE COCONUT TREES.

SO, WE ENDED UP USING
SOME COATED CABLE

THAT WE COULD TURNBUCKLE,
TIGHTEN ON THE TREE

WITHOUT DAMAGING THE BARK.

SEE HOW THE CABLE, WHERE IT
WON'T ACTUALLY TOUCH THE TREE.

RIGHT.

SO, WE DID
THE OLD HAMMOCK TEST.

ALL RIGHT.

THE COCONUTS WERE SHAKING
ON THE TREE WHEN YOU DID THAT.

UM....

I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

PASSED THE CRASH TEST.

NIGHTY-NIGHT.

NIGHT-NIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, WE DID IT.

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT,
I'LL CATCH YOU LATER.

I'M FRANK.

I'M THE A/V INTEGRATOR
FOR LUCAS LAGOONS.

GENERALLY WHEN I'M HEADED OUT
TO LUCAS'S JOB,

ME AND WOMAN ARE ALWAYS
IN AN ARGUMENT.

I'M TRYING TO PUT A SPEAKER
SOMEWHERE

WHERE SHE'S GOT A PLANT.

HEY, FRANKIE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING
WITH MY PLANTS AGAIN?

I KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE THINKING,

BUT I CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION
FOR THIS ONE.

YEAH?

A SOLUTION
WHERE WE COULD CO-EXIST.

LITTLE SPEAKER.
SO, HERE'S WHAT WE GOT, JANE.

WOW.

PLANTER IN A SPEAKER.

THERE IT IS, THE SPEAKER.
MY GOODNESS.

SO NOW, I DON'T HAVE TO TAKE UP
YOUR PLANT SPACE.

I GOT MY SPEAKER
ON THE BOTTOM.

WE CAN PUT YOUR PLANT
ON TOP.

HEY, WE COULD COEXIST
ON THE JOB SITE.

JUST FOR YOU, JANE.

IT'S ALWAYS
A LITTLE BUCKET LIST AT THE END,

BUT WE'RE CLOSE,
AND I'M EXCITED.

AS A TEAM, I THINK LUCAS LAGOONS

REALLY PULLED TOGETHER
WELL ON THIS.

NOT TOO MUCH DAMAGE TO TREES
BY CRASH.

I MEAN, EVERYTHING
KIND OF COMPLEMENTS EACH OTHER.

THE DECOR, THE ROCKS,
THE COLOR OF THE WATER.

IT DEFINITELY FEELS LIKE

A LITTLE
CARIBBEAN ISLAND BACKYARD.

I CAN'T WAIT
FOR THE MARTINEZES TO SEE IT.

I JUST WANT YOU TO PICTURE
WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE

WHEN I FIRST CAME OVER.

I'M SCARED.

I'M SCARED
TO GO SEE OUR BACKYARD.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

WHAT IF IT'S NOT RIGHT?

WELL, I'M HERE
AT THE MARTINEZ PROJECT

AND ABOUT TO SHOW THEM
THEIR BACKYARD

FINALLY COMPLETED
AFTER EIGHT WEEKS.

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CHALLENGES
ALONG THE WAY.

THE BIGGEST DESIGN CHALLENGE
FOR ME

WAS INCORPORATING
THESE GREEN ROCKS.

I HAVE TO ADMIT,
THE ROCK'S GROWING ON ME.

WE ALSO THREW IN
A COUPLE SURPRISES FOR THEM,

SO I THINK
THEY'RE GONNA BE BLOWN AWAY.

ALL RIGHT, KIM AND MANNY,
IT'S BEEN EIGHT LONG WEEKS,

SO I'M EXCITED
TO SHOW YOU YOUR BACKYARD.

STILL A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS

BECAUSE I KNOW YOU GUYS
HAVEN'T BEEN BACK THERE

FOR QUITE A FEW DAYS NOW.

I'M SCARED.

I'M SCARED
TO GO SEE OUR BACKYARD.

WE ARE MOMENTS AWAY,
AND WHAT IF IT'S NOT RIGHT?

YOU WANTED ME
TO BRING THE CARIBBEAN TO YOU.

THAT'S RIGHT.

I WANT YOU TO JUST,
ALL OF A SUDDEN BE, LIKE,

TRANSPORTED TO THAT MOMENT
WHERE EVERYTHING'S COMPLETED.

ALL RIGHT.
WE'RE READY.

I'LL HOLD YOUR HANDS
'CAUSE I DON'T WANT YOU

TO FALL OVER ANYTHING
WALKING WITH YOUR EYES SHUT.

THIS IS THE MOMENT.
IT'S ALL OR NOTHING.

I JUST WANT YOU TO PICTURE
WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE

WHEN I FIRST CAME OVER.

JUST WEEDS AND MORE WEEDS.

YOU READY?
WE'RE READY.

ALL RIGHT, CHECK IT OUT.

MY GOD.

MY GOD.

THIS IS CRAZY.

IT'S AWESOME.

THIS IS THE CARIBBEAN.
IT'S RIGHT HERE.

THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
THIS IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL.

WOW.

I LOVE IT.

YES.

LOOK AT THE TIKI BAR.

THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.

IT'S PERFECT.
THAT'S SO COOL.

LUCAS,
YOU DID A GOOD JOB.

GREAT,
I'M GLAD YOU LIKED IT.

GREAT JOB, MAN.

NOW THAT YOU SEE EVERYTHING,
LET ME KIND OF BREAK IT DOWN.

HOLD ON A MINUTE, LUCAS.
I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

THE WATERFALL'S
SO LOUD.

SEE, THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT,
RIGHT?

YOU WANTED
LOUD WATER NOISES.

YOU CAN'T HEAR
THE PLANES ANYMORE.

YOU CAN'T SEE
THAT HOUSE.

YOU GOT THE ROCK
BELOW THE WATERLINE

GIVING YOU
A REALLY ORGANIC NATIVE FEEL.

AS I WAS GETTING
INTO THE PROJECT,

YOU THREW THESE GREEN ROCKS
AT ME, OF COURSE.

YOU REMEMBER THAT?

THE FIRST PLACE
WE INCORPORATED YOUR GREEN ROCK

WAS IN THE GROTTO,

SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE
THIS COOL FEATURE,

ALMOST LIKE A GEODE
BACK IN THERE.

AND THE SECOND FEATURE
WE CREATED

WAS THIS SECONDARY WATERFALL,
AND THAT'S A REAL GEM.

I MEAN, JUST NESTLED
BACK IN THERE, REALLY BEAUTIFUL.

AND THEN WHEN I WENT TO DO
MANNY'S FIRE PIT

AND INCORPORATED
THE ROCK THERE,

IT CAME TOGETHER MORE BEAUTIFUL
THAN I EVEN IMAGINED.

IT'S VERY HARMONIOUS.

I MEAN, IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.

I'M GLAD THAT LUCAS
FINALLY CAME AROUND

TO FEELING THE LOVE
FOR THE CARIBBEAN GREEN ROCKS.

I HAD TRUST.

THANKS, MANNY.
I HAD YOUR BACK, LUCAS, 100%.

SO, CHECK OUT
YOUR FIRE FEATURE.

I MEAN,
THIS IS MANNY'S FIRE PIT.

HAVE A SEAT.

SO, I KIND OF HAVE IT
TURNED DOWN RIGHT NOW,

BUT IF IT'S COLD, YOU CAN
REALLY TURN THIS BABY UP.

WOW!
WHOO!

YEAH, THAT'S BIG, BABY.
THAT'S BIG.

ANOTHER THING
YOU WERE SAYING, KIM,

WAS THAT YOU WANTED TO HAVE
A PLACE FOR YOUR GRANDSON

TO PLAY, SO WE CREATED THIS
AWESOME SAND BEACH AREA.

WE EVEN GOT YOU
SOME SAND TOYS

FOR YOUR GRANDSON
TO PLAY WITH.

AND THEN, OF COURSE,
THE SAND BOTTOM AREA.

SO WHETHER YOU'RE IN THE WATER
OR OUT OF THE WATER,

YOU CAN HAVE YOUR TOES
IN THE SAND AND TAKE IT ALL IN.

THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
WOW.

IT'S JUST LIKE
YOU'RE IN THE CARIBBEAN.

OLD MAN CREATED
THIS RETAINING WALL IN THERE

TO HOLD THE SAND BACK
IN THE SHALLOWER AREA.

I LOVE IT. MY GRANDSON TREVOR
IS GONNA LOVE.

I THINK HE'LL BE HERE
AND THERE.

AND OF COURSE,
THAT BEAUTIFUL ROCK

WITH THE HOLE IN IT,
THAT - -

I'VE BEEN DOING THIS
FOR 15 YEARS.

I'VE NEVER SEEN A ROCK
WITH THAT BIG OF A HOLE IN IT,

AND IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE.

YOU'LL NEVER SEE
THAT ROCK AGAIN.

CRASH ACTUALLY HAD THE IDEA
TO GIVE YOU

A COUPLE OF COCONUT PALMS
AND A HAMMOCK.

I MEAN, WHAT SCREAMS
MORE CARIBBEAN

THAN A HAMMOCK
AND COCONUT TREES?

ARE THOSE REAL COCONUTS?

THOSE ARE REAL COCONUTS.

YOU CAN DRINK THE MILK
OUT OF THEM.

- YOU CAN EAT THEM.
- IT'S INCREDIBLE.

WE'RE IN THE CARIBBEAN.

I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS
AT ALL.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S SO COOL
ABOUT IT?

YOU CAN LAY IN THE HAMMOCK,

AND YOU GOT THE PERFECT VIEW
OF YOUR WATERFALLS.

I LOVE IT.

ALL RIGHT, WELL,
LET'S KEEP GOING.

I GOT A LOT MORE
TO SHOW YOU.

THIS LANDSCAPING IS ABSOLUTELY
BEAUTIFUL, LUCAS.

WELL, IT'S JUST
SUCH A KEY ELEMENT, YOU KNOW,

TO SOFTENING IT,
MAKING IT FEEL NATURAL.

AND THERE'S NO LAWN
TO MOW.

I MEAN, YOU GOT WHITE SHALE,
AND YOU GOT MULCH.

BASICALLY HARDLY
ANY MAINTENANCE.

I LOVE IT.

HEY, MORE TIME
TO SIP ON MARGARITAS

AND HANG OUT
IN YOUR LAGOON.

IT LOOKS TROPICAL.
IT LOOKS PERFECT.

CHECK OUT THIS OUTDOOR
LIVING ROOM YOU GOT OVER HERE.

MY GOD.
I LOVE THE COLORS.

WOW.

THIS MAKES THE BACKYARD
SO HUGE NOW.

IT'S INCREDIBLE.

AND THIS IS ACTUALLY
A FUNCTIONAL COOKING TABLE.

YOU GOT A FIRE PIT THERE.

I COULD SEE MY FAMILY HERE.

THERE IS A LOT OF ROOM
FOR THEM TO SPREAD OUT

AND JUST REALLY CONNECT.
THIS IS AWESOME.

WELL, YOU GUYS
ARE KIND OF TALKING LIKE

THIS IS
THE FINAL DESTINATION,

BUT I ACTUALLY HAVE
A SURPRISE FOR YOU.

THERE'S MORE?
THERE'S MORE.

MY.
WHAT IS THIS?

MY GOD.

A SHOWER?

WHERE DID THIS COME FROM?

MY GOSH.
AWESOME.

WOMAN SAID YOU GUYS SHOULD HAVE
AN OUTDOOR SHOWER.

WOMAN'S RIGHT.
YEAH, YEAH.

WOMAN'S ALWAYS RIGHT.

WE TALKED ABOUT
THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE A SHOWER

THAT WAS CLOSE
TO OUR OUTDOOR DOORS.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE
HE READ MY MIND.

YEAH.
THAT'S A LITTLE SCARY.

AND I THINK YOU'LL LIKE IT
EVEN MORE

WHEN I TELL YOU SOMETHING.

YOU READY?
GUESS HOW MUCH IT COST?

NOTHING.
NOTHING.

IT'S MY GIFT TO YOU.

IT'S FREE, BUDDY.

YEAH.

IT'S MY SURPRISE.

I LOVE IT.

IT'S AMAZING.

IT IS BEYOND
WHAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.

IT REALLY IS.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S COOL?

MY LAST SURPRISE FOR YOU
HAS BEEN STARING YOU IN THE FACE

THE WHOLE TIME,
BUT YOU JUST DIDN'T NOTICE IT.

I HAVE AN APP ON MY PHONE

THAT I'LL PUT
ON YOUR PHONE, AND...

MY GOD.

YOU GOT TO HAVE MUSIC,
RIGHT?

YOU GOT TO HAVE
THE CARIBBEAN MUSIC.

YEAH, MAN.

IT'S A PLANTER,
BUT IT'S A SPEAKER.

THE OTHER GREAT THING
ABOUT THIS PHONE APP IS THAT,

NOT ONLY DOES IT CONTROL
YOUR MUSIC,

BUT YOUR GROTTO,
YOUR POOL LIFE,

YOUR LANDSCAPE LIGHTING,
EVERYTHING.

THIS IS - - IT'S TIME
TO START LIVING, RIGHT?

IMAGINE HOW THIS LOOKS
AT NIGHT.

LET'S BRING THE FAMILY
AND FRIENDS OUT.

LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED,

YEAH.
THE HARD WORK'S DONE.

IT'S TIME TO CELEBRATE.

LET'S GET 'EM.

THE SMILES ON THEIR FACE
TOLD THE WHOLE STORY.

WE'RE IN THE CARIBBEAN.

CAN WE GET A MARGARITA
AND MAYBE - -

I KNOW THEY LOVE IT.
I LOVE IT.

NOW I CAN HANG OUT,

RELAX WITH THEM AND THEIR FAMILY
AND HAVE A GOOD TIME.

HEY, LOOK AT THAT!

AS BEAUTIFUL AS MY PROJECTS
LOOK DURING THE DAY, AT NIGHT,

THAT'S WHEN THEY COME ALIVE.

TREVOR, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

MANNY AND KIM LOOK SO HAPPY.

THEY LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE
ON THEIR HONEYMOON OR SOMETHING.

THEY WERE JUST GLOWING.

WHOO!

HE KNOWS
HOW TO MAKE A SPLASH.

WHOO!
