Insane Pools Off the Deep End (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 10 - Castle by the Sea - full transcript

LET'S ROCK!

- YEAH!
- YEAH!

MAVERICK POOL
DESIGNER LUCAS CONGDON

IS REVOLUTIONIZING
OUTDOOR LIVING.

LUCAS AND HIS CREW
MAY SEEM A LITTLE CRAZY,

BUT THESE ARTISANS ARE THE BEST
IN THE BUSINESS.

I DON'T KNOW
IF THAT'S SKILL OR LUCK.

LITTLE BIT OF BOTH.

THERE IS METHOD
TO THEIR MADNESS.

AND WITH MOTHER NATURE
FOR INSPIRATION...

IT'S LIKE
A HUGE NATURAL GROTTO.



THEY CAN'T GO WRONG.
CHECK IT OUT!

MY GOD.

MY GOD!

- WOW!
- WOW!

IS THIS THE SAME POOL?

- HOLY...
- UNBELIEVABLE.

AWW.

ANYONE CAN BUILD A POOL.

LET'S BUILD ANOTHER DREAM!

THEY BUILD PARADISE.

- WHOO!
- YEAH!

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

I'M IN PORT RICHEY,
FLORIDA, TODAY,

WHICH IS NORTHWEST OF TAMPA
ON THE GULF OF MEXICO.



I'M ON MY WAY TO SEE
PATTY AND GARY DEREMER.

THEY LIVE ON THE WATER,

AND I'M VERY EXCITED
ABOUT THIS BUILD

BECAUSE I LOVE WORKING
ON THE OCEAN.

WOW. WHAT A SPOT.

THIS IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE HOME
I'VE EVER BEEN TO.

- HELLO?
- GOOD MORNING. I'M LUCAS.

- HI. I'M PATTY.
- HI. NICE TO MEET YOU.

GARY, LUCAS IS HERE!

MY NAME'S PATTY DEREMER.
I SELL EXOTIC CARS FOR A LIVING.

GARY'S MY HUSBAND, AND WE'VE
BEEN MARRIED FOR 20 YEARS.

WE HAVE THREE LITTLE PUPPY DOGS.
THEY'RE CHIHUAHUAS.

THERE'S HONEY AND GINGER,
AND WE ALSO HAVE LITTLE BOY.

HE'S 11, AND THE OTHER TWO
ARE 3 AND 4.

I'M GARY DEREMER,
AND I'M A UTILITY CONTRACTOR

THAT BUILDS WATER
AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS.

SO, THIS IS OUR BACKYARD.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WOW. FANTASTIC.

JUST KEEPS GOING.

I THINK THIS IS
THE MOST INCREDIBLE OCEAN VIEW

I'VE EVER SEEN.

IT'S PRETTY NICE.

I'M LOOKING AT
THIS EXQUISITE ENVIRONMENT.

I MEAN, JUST - -
THE GULF LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL.

THEY'RE OUT
ON, LIKE, A PENINSULA.

THERE'S LIKE A 270-DEGREE VIEW.

I MEAN, WHAT MORE
COULD YOU GUYS NEED BACK HERE?

WELL, AN AWESOME POOL.

SIGN ME UP.

FOR ME, THIS IS LIKE
A DREAM COME TRUE.

WELL, HOW DID YOU GUYS
END UP IN THIS HOUSE?

WELL, I WAS BORN
IN NEW PORT RICHEY,

WHICH IS
JUST OVER THE BRIDGE.

AND I CAME HERE
WHEN I WAS 5 YEARS OLD.

I MET GARY A LONG TIME AGO
WHEN I WAS LIKE 10.

HE'S ALWAYS BEEN
MY PRINCE CHARMING.

AND NEITHER OF US
WENT TO COLLEGE

AND SO WE BOTH WORKED VERY HARD
OVER THE YEARS

TO BUILD OUR BUSINESSES,

AND WE NEVER GAVE UP,
AND SO HERE WE ARE.

I ALWAYS SAID, "MY GOSH.
THIS HOUSE IS SO BEAUTIFUL."

IT HAS THESE GORGEOUS STAIRS.

IT'S ALWAYS KIND OF BEEN
MY DREAM HOME.

WE'VE GOT A LOT OF NATURE
AND WILDLIFE.

WE SEE MANATEES
AND ALL KINDS OF BIRDS.

I CAN WALK OUT
IN THE BACKYARD AND GO FISHING.

THIS IS MY CASTLE BY THE SEA.

YOU KNOW,
SO WE'RE HERE TO STAY.

- SO, YOU GOT THE DREAM HOUSE.
- YEAH.

THIS IS JUST AMAZING.

THIS IS THAT ULTIMATE CANVAS.

I'M ALREADY
JUST KIND OF GETTING INSPIRED.

I'M ALMOST PICTURING - -

WHAT IF WE MADE THIS
LOOK LIKE A MOAT

AND THEN DO ROCKWORK,
LIKE A NATURAL ROCK OUTCROPPING,

AND THEN, LIKE,
A BIG WATERFALL COMING DOWN.

AND I'M THINKING, LIKE,
OVER HERE, LIKE A BIG GROTTO.

YOU GUYS COULD COME IN HERE
IN THIS COOL ROCK CAVE.

- UM...
- IT'LL BE AWESOME.

I DON'T THINK SO.

LIKE YOUR ENTHUSIASM, BUT
THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE GOING FOR.

REALLY?

WE'RE NOT REALLY
THINKING ABOUT

ROCKS OR GROTTOS OR...

WELL...

I GUESS SOMETIMES I GET CARRIED
AWAY IN MY OWN IMAGINATION,

AND I FORGOT TO FIND OUT
FROM PATTY AND GARY

WHAT THEY WERE THINKING.

NOW IT'S TIME TO LISTEN
TO WHAT THEY REALLY WANT.

WELL, WE HAVE TO GET YOU
TO NOT BE MESMERIZED BY THAT...

...AND BE MESMERIZED
BY THE HOUSE.

EVERYTHING
IS VERY SYMMETRICAL,

MIRROR-IMAGED.

KEEP THE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES
OF IT

AND BRING THAT INTO THE POOL.

MORE OF A ROMAN BATH,
MEDITERRANEAN-TYPE LOOK.

WOW,
I GUESS I WAS WAY OFF.

LUCAS IS A GREAT DESIGNER.

I'VE SEEN WHAT HE'S DONE
WITH OTHER POOLS,

AND I THINK THAT THEY'RE
FABULOUS AND BEYOND AMAZING.

I THINK HE'LL BE ABLE
TO PULL THIS OFF.

IT JUST TAKES A VISION.

- YOU'VE BEEN TO VEGAS, RIGHT?
- YEAH.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN
TO CAESARS PALACE?

THAT'S WHAT I WANT.

MARBLE STATUES.
OKAY.

FANCY COLUMNS.

ROMAN GODDESSES.

GOTCHA.
WELL, THAT'D BE DIFFERENT.

YEAH. THAT WOULD BE
TOTALLY OUTSIDE OF YOUR BOX.

THIS IS DEFINITELY GONNA BE
A CHALLENGE,

BUT, I MEAN,
I LOVE CHALLENGES.

I REALLY NEED
TO SPEND SOME TIME

KIND OF DIGESTING
WHAT YOU JUST TOLD ME,

'CAUSE THAT'S OBVIOUSLY
WAY - -

- NOT WHAT YOU WERE THINKING.
- YEAH, NOT WHAT I WAS THINKING.

BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE
YOU HAVE A REAL CLEAR VISION.

JUST NOT HOW
IT'S GONNA COME TOGETHER,

AND THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE ME FOR,
SO...

DEFINITELY.

YEAH. WE'RE HOPING THAT
YOU'RE GONNA DO SOMETHING

THAT'S JUST
GONNA BLOW US AWAY.

JUST LET ME WORK OUT IN THE YARD
FOR A LITTLE WHILE

AND START THINKING ABOUT
SOME IDEAS, SOME CONCEPTS,

AND THEN WE CAN GO
FROM THERE.

- SOUNDS GOOD.
- GREAT.

- ALL RIGHT. I'M EXCITED.
- ME TOO.

♪♪♪♪

YOU'RE GONNA BE VIEWING
THIS POOL

FROM UP HIGH LOOKING DOWN,

SO IF A MEASUREMENT IS OFF
IN ANY WAY,

YOU'RE GONNA SEE THAT.

I'M NOT SURE
EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO DO YET,

BUT I DO NOTICE LOTS OF
COOL ARCHITECTURAL OPPORTUNITIES

TO DO SOMETHING UNIQUE
AND DIFFERENT.

YOU NEED SOME, LIKE,
OLD WORLD ACCENT STONE.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS GONNA
TAKE A LOT MORE RESEARCH,

A LOT MORE TIME
TO COME UP WITH MY DESIGNS.

TODAY I'M HERE AT MY HOUSE.

I'VE SET OUT TO DO
SOME RESEARCH.

ALL RIGHT, COMPUTER.

LET'S SEE WHAT YOU GOT
FOR SOME ROMAN INSPIRATION.

WHEN YOU HEAR THE WORDS "ROMAN
BATH HOUSE" OR "ROMAN SPA,"

YOU THINK COLUMNS,
YOU THINK MARBLE,

YOU THINK
BIG RECTANGULAR POOLS.

YOU THINK TOGAS, MOSAICS,
ARCHES, DOMES.

WOW.

YOU KNOW, IT'S AMAZING
IN ROMAN ARCHITECTURE

HOW ADVANCED THEY WERE.

I MEAN, THEY BUILT THINGS

THAT CENTURIES LATER
ARE STILL STANDING.

THE COLOSSEUM,
THE ROMAN FORUM - -

THEY EVEN THOUGHT
OF CREATING AQUEDUCTS

TO TAKE WATER FROM FARAWAY
PLACES DOWN INTO THE CITY.

THAT'S PRETTY COOL.

AND IT'S SO INSPIRING TO WANT TO
KIND OF REPLICATE THAT

WITH A LITTLE
LUCAS FLAVOR TO IT.

SO, I'M HAVING ALL THESE IMAGES
KIND OF GO THOUGH MY MIND,

AND THEN I REMEMBERED - -

THERE'S CAESARS PALACE.

MAYBE I SHOULD SEE IF THE WIFE
WILL LET ME GO TO VEGAS,

DO A LITTLE RESEARCH PROJECT.

BUT FIRST, I'M BACK
IN PORT RICHEY, FLORIDA,

ABOUT TO MEET WITH THE DEREMERS,
SHOW THEM MY DESIGN...

- HEY, GUYS.
- HI, LUCAS.

...AND I HOPE THEY LOVE IT,

BECAUSE I REALLY WANT
TO GET STARTED.

WELL, YOU GUYS GAVE ME
QUITE A CHALLENGE.

I THINK I'VE HIT
KIND OF ALL THE ELEMENTS

OF A ROMAN KIND OF BATH HOUSE,
ITALIAN DESIGN.

AWESOME.
I'M EXCITED TO SEE IT.

WELL, WE CAN'T WAIT.

I BASICALLY STARTED
THE DESIGN

WITH A TRADITIONAL
ROMAN-SHAPED POOL,

WHICH IS A RECTANGLE

AND KIND OF A HALF CIRCLE
AT EITHER END.

SO I'M THINKING, "OKAY,
HOW AM I GONNA MAKE THIS MY OWN,

MY OWN TWIST
ON ROMAN ARCHITECTURE?"

SO I BENT THE WHOLE POOL
AROUND A RADIUS

SO THAT IT FLOWS AROUND
A CIRCULAR LANDING.

AND YOU NEVER SEE THAT.

SO, THEN WE'RE GONNA ADD
REAL MARBLE COLUMNS.

THAT'S VERY ROMAN-LOOKING.

NOW, EVERYTHING'S SYMMETRICAL
ON THIS DESIGN.

TO ONE SIDE,
WE HAVE THE SPA.

ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE,
A CIRCULAR FIREPLACE.

THEN, YOU KNOW,
LOOKING AT THIS HOUSE

AND YOU SAYING
IT'S YOUR CASTLE BY THE SEA,

I FIGURED, RIGHT OFF THE BAT,
MOAT.

IS A MOAT ROMAN?

LIKE, TRUE
TO THEIR ARCHITECTURE?

YOU KNOW, WHEN I THINK ROME,
I THINK AQUEDUCTS.

MY IDEA IS TO TREAT THIS MOAT
AS BASICALLY AN AQUEDUCT

THAT CAPTURES THE WATER
AND SPILLS IT INTO THE POOL.

YOU CAN'T REALLY GET
MORE ROMAN THAN THAT.

SO, WATER IS MOVING
INTO THE POOL THIS WAY

AND INTO THE POOL
THIS WAY?

IT APPEARS TO MOVE
INTO THE POOL,

BUT BECAUSE YOU'RE
IN THE VELOCITY ZONE - -

TO COMPLY WITH
THE STATE REGULATIONS,

THE WAY WE HAVE TO BUILD
THE MOAT/AQUEDUCT

IS DIFFERENT
THAN THE POOL,

SO THEY'RE
SEPARATE SYSTEMS.

SO IT LOOKS LIKE
IT'S THAT SAME WATER.

SO IT'S AN ILLUSION.

IT'S AN ILLUSION.
CORRECT.

- VERY NICE.
- YEAH.

I THINK IT'S
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING,

SO I DEFINITELY THINK WE FOUND
THE RIGHT GUY TO BUILD OUR POOL.

I CANNOT WAIT
FOR YOU BEGIN.

THAT'S AWESOME.

I MEAN, I'M EXCITED TO DO
SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT,

AND I'M SO PUMPED
ON THIS DESIGN.

THE DOGS
ARE GONNA LOVE IT.

THE DEREMER PROJECT

IS ACTUALLY GONNA BE
A PRETTY BIG BUDGET

OF HALF A MILLION DOLLARS

AND ABOUT 16 WEEKS TO BUILD.

THE NEXT CHALLENGE IS GONNA BE
GETTING THE TEAM INVOLVED,

AND THEY DON'T DO
THIS TYPE OF WORK,

SO THEY'RE GONNA
PROBABLY BE STANDING THERE,

SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS, LIKE,

"LUCAS, MAN,
WHAT DID YOU SIGN US UP FOR?"

NO!
LOOK! I SAW A DOLPHIN!

MY GOD!

I MEAN, IS THIS NOT THE BEST
VIEW WE'VE EVER WORKED AT?

THE HOUSE IS HUGE.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

- WOW. THIS IS NICE.
- YEAH.

BUT ON THIS BUILD,
IT'S NOT SO MUCH ABOUT ALL THIS,

IT'S MORE ABOUT
KIND OF ALL THIS.

SO REALLY THINK
WAY OUTSIDE THE BOX.

CLASSICAL ROMAN SPA.

- WHAT?
- WHOA!

DO YOU EVEN KNOW
WHAT A CLASSICAL ROMAN SPA IS?

NOPE.

WELL, ARE WE ALL GONNA
HAVE TO WEAR TOGAS

WHEN WE BUILD THIS THING?

THIS POOL
IS GONNA LOOK LIKE

IT COULD HAVE EXISTED,
YOU KNOW, A THOUSAND YEARS AGO.

SONNY BOY, DO YOU REALLY KNOW
WHAT CLASSIC ARCHITECTURE IS?

I MEAN, IT'S NOT THIS, LIKE,
FREE-FORM ORGANIC THING

THAT YOU'RE USED TO
CREATING.

WAIT TILL YOU SEE
THE BLUEPRINT OF IT.

YOU'RE GONNA BE IMPRESSED.

WHAT? BLUEPRINTS?

WOW.
DO YOU HEAR THAT, GUYS?

WE USUALLY GET HAND SIGNALS.

"I WANT A GROTTO OVER HERE.
I WANT A STREAM HERE."

IT MEANS
HE CAN'T CHANGE THINGS.

YEAH. THAT'S RIGHT.

THEY WANT EVERYTHING
VERY ARCHITECTURAL,

VERY MEDITERRANEAN,
OLD WORLD.

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,

IT'S STILL A POOL
BUT VERY DIFFERENT?

YEAH. I LIKE IT.

THERE'S NOT MUCH
TO DEMO HERE.

WE GOT TO PULL OUT SOME SHRUBS
AND REMOVE SOME GRASS.

- SO, YOU GUYS READY?
- ABSOLUTELY.

- THIS IS GONNA BE FUN.
- LET'S GET STARTED.

WELL, NO CASTLE
IS COMPLETE WITHOUT A MOAT,

OR LIKE IN THIS CASE,
AN AQUEDUCT.

FIRST, WE NEED TO USE
TWO MACHINES

TO DIG OUT THE TWO MOATS.

ONE THING I LIKE ABOUT THIS POOL

IS THAT EVERYTHING
IS SO SYMMETRICAL,

THE STRAIGHT LINES
AND EVEN THE CURVES.

THE NEXT STEP IS NORMALLY REBAR,

BUT THE DEREMERS' HOUSE
IS IN A VELOCITY ZONE,

WHICH BASICALLY MEANS
THAT IT'S IN A HIGH-STORM AREA,

HIGH-WIND AREA.

SO NEXT,
WE'LL MOVE ON TO GUNITE.

SINCE THEY CAN'T USE REBAR
IN THE MOAT,

I'VE HAD TO REALLY DIG DEEP

AND COME UP WITH
A CREATIVE SOLUTION.

WITHOUT REBAR,
IT JUST SHIFTS, IT CRACKS,

AND THEN YOU HAVE A LEAK.

SO WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA PUT
A SPRAY-IN LINER

ON TOP OF THE GUNITE.

IT'S LIKE THIS REALLY THICK,
RUBBERIZED COATING.

IT CAN STRETCH UP TO FOUR TIMES
ITS ORIGINAL SIZE,

SO THIS STUFF IS NOT GONNA TEAR.

IT'S LIKE
A HUGE CRACK SUPPRESSANT.

THAT WAY, IF THE SHELL CRACKS

OR SHIFTS A LITTLE BIT
UNDERNEATH THE LINER,

IT WON'T LEAK.

WELCOME, LUCAS!

HEY, CAESAR!

YOU MAY APPROACH.

WE'RE HERE
IN PORT RICHEY, FLORIDA,

AT THE DEREMER RESIDENCE.

AND WOW.
IT IS GORGEOUS.

OOH! OOH!
TWO OSPREY, INCOMING.

CAW!

IT'S TIME TO START DIGGING THAT POOL.
LET'S GET GOING.

THE PRECISION THAT IT'S
GONNA TAKE TO PULL THIS JOB OFF

IS GONNA BE SOMETHING THAT
WE'VE NEVER COME ACROSS BEFORE.

MAKING SURE
EVERYTHING LINES UP - -

WHERE THE CURVES ARE,
WERE THE STRAIGHT LINES ARE.

BILLY'S HERE WORKING WITH US.

HE SPECIALIZES IN DOING
ALL THE STRUCTURAL WORK,

ALL THE POOL SHELLS
AND PLUMBING.

LUCAS STRESSED OVER AND OVER,

"PRECISION, PRECISION,
PRECISION."

THERE IS NO ROCKWORK.
THERE'S NO HIDING ANYTHING.

SO, EVERYTHING
HAS TO BE PRECISE.

WE'RE
DOUBLE- AND TRIPLE-CHECKING

OUR LAYOUT IS PERFECT.

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY - -
"MEASURE TWICE, CUT ONCE."

IN THIS CASE,

IT'S "MEASURE THREE TIMES
AND DIG ONCE."

♪♪♪♪

SO, THIS IS GOING TO BE
A MULTIPLE-DAY DIG.

AS WE'RE DIGGING THIS POOL,
WE'RE ALSO FRAMING IT

TO MAKE SURE THAT
THE DIRT DOESN'T CAVE IN.

THIS POOL IS
RIGHT ON THE GULF OF MEXICO

IN A VELOCITY ZONE.

WE'RE GOING EXTRA DEEP

BECAUSE WE'RE GOING DOWN
TO THE BEDROCK,

AND WE'RE GONNA BUILD IT BACK UP

TO MAKE SURE
EVERYTHING'S NICE AND SOLID.

SO STRUCTURALLY,
WE'RE ENGINEERING THIS THING

TO WITHSTAND A 500-YEAR STORM.

SO, IT WILL NOT POP UP.
IT WILL NOT FLOAT AWAY.

IT'S DESIGNED

SO THAT IF ANYTHING
MAJOR CATASTROPHE HAPPENS,

IT'S JUST GONNA SINK
STRAIGHT TO THE BEDROCK.

I GOT TO WAIT FOR THEM
TO SHOOT THE POOL,

SO I GUESS THAT MEANS
THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME

FOR ME TO TAKE OFF
AND GET SOME INSPIRATION.

PATTY WANTS

THIS AMAZING, ELABORATE,
ROMAN ARCHITECTURE POOL

FOR HER CASTLE BY THE SEA.

BUT SHE'S ALSO TOLD ME ABOUT
ANOTHER PALACE IN VEGAS

THAT I MUST SEE - -
CAESARS PALACE.

THIS TRIP IS GONNA BE FUN
TO KIND OF STEP OFF THE JOBSITE,

TO DO SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA BE
UNIQUELY DIFFERENT.

THERE'S 4.6 ACRES
WITH EIGHT POOLS,

TWO MASSIVE HOT TUBS,

AND THEY CALL IT
"THE GARDEN OF THE GODS."

WELCOME, LUCAS!

HEY, CAESAR.

YOU MAY APPROACH.

HEY, CAESAR.
HOW'S IT GOING, MAN?

AT EASE, MEN.

- WELCOME TO MY HOME.
- ALL RIGHT.

THIS PLACE IS SO BEAUTIFUL.

THE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES
AND THE MOSAIC TILEWORK.

WOW! THE DETAIL, I MEAN - -

I HOPE I GET TO BUILD
LOTS OF ROMAN-STYLE POOLS.

WELL, I CERTAINLY HOPE

THAT YOU'VE ENJOYED
YOUR TIME HERE.

I HAVE OTHER BUSINESS
TO ATTEND TO.

FEEL FREE TO LOOK AROUND
FOR AS LONG AS YOU'D LIKE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I WANT TO PUT SOME TRADITIONAL
ROMAN ARCHITECTURAL PIECES

ON THE HOME TO REALLY TIE IT IN
WITH THE POOL AREA.

I MEAN, I REALLY LOVE
THE WAY THESE MARBLE URNS

FILL UP WITH WATER AND OVERFLOW.

AND THEN TO TOP IT OFF,

I'M THINKING WE CAN ADD IN
THOSE RECESSED ARCHWAYS,

HAND-CARVED MARBLE FACES.

I'M READY TO SHOW THE WORLD

THAT I CAN DO MORE
THAN THE LAGOON-STYLE POOL.

I'M BACK
AT PORT RICHEY, FLORIDA,

AT THE DEREMER PROJECT.

THIS TIME,
I GOT MY DESIGN FINALIZED.

I'VE BEEN TO VEGAS AND BACK,
QUITE LITERALLY.

SO, I REALLY NEED TO GO THROUGH
ALL OF THE FEATURES WITH PATTY.

I MEAN, THE TILES AND THE COPING
AND THE DECKING

AND THE MARBLE ACCENT PIECES,

LIKE THE COLUMNS AND THE URNS
AND THE FACES.

ON THIS BUILD,

THE TRAVERTINE IS A HUGE PART
OF THE OVERALL LOOK,

SO I HAD TO GO TO WHERE
I GET ALL MY TRAVERTINE.

I PICKED OUT A BUNCH OF SAMPLES
THAT I THINK WILL WORK

TO SHOW PATTY.

AS FAR AS THE DECKING GOES,
I THOUGHT - -

BECAUSE
YOU'RE ON THE BEACH - -

LIKE A BEACHY KIND OF SHELLSTONE
CONCRETE OVERLAY,

COULD BE REALLY COOL.

I DO REALLY LIKE THIS.

I'M JUST THINKING,
YOU KNOW,

RIGHT HERE I HAVE
THE BIG TRAVERTINE TILES.

AND THAT'S KIND OF
WHERE I WAS GOING

FOR DOWN AROUND THE POOL.

WELL, THEN,
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT

KIND OF, LIKE,
THE IVORY TRAVERTINE?

YOU KNOW,
IT REALLY GOES WELL

WITH THE TRAVERTINE DECK
YOU HAVE UP HERE.

YEP. I THINK
THAT WOULD WORK GREAT.

FOR A WATER-LINE TILE,

I'M THINKING THIS WOULD BE
A GREAT TILE.

IT HAS
ALL THE COLORS IN IT.

SO IT'LL REALLY TIE IN
THE GOLD COLORS

PLUS THE LIGHTER COLORS.

AND IT LOOKS REALLY PRETTY
WHEN IT'S WET, SO - -

I LIKE THAT.
I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.

I DO HAVE SOME PICTURES HERE
TO SHOW YOU.

THIS WHOLE DESIGN IS VERY
ARCHITECTURAL, VERY PRECISE.

SO, WITH THE MARBLE
ACCENT PIECES,

LIKE THE COLUMNS AND THE URNS,

I HAVE TO MAKE SURE I GOT A 100%
BUY-IN FROM THESE CLIENTS

BEFORE I MOVE FORWARD

SPENDING TENS OF THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS ON THEM.

I WAS THINKING

GOING WITH THE TRADITIONAL
CORINTHIAN-STYLE COLUMN.

SOMETHING, YOU KNOW,
WHITE MARBLE,

OR WE COULD CARVE IT WITH
A LIGHT-COLORED LIMESTONE.

I LIKE
ALL YOUR NEUTRAL COLORS,

BUT I WANTED TO SHOW YOU
A FEW IDEAS THAT I HAD.

YOU GOT SOME, TOO.
GREAT.

LET'S BRING IN
THE PINKS OF THE HOUSE,

THE WHITES OF THE COLUMN,
AND TIE IT ALL TOGETHER.

WOW. PATTY REALLY LIKES PINK.

I GUESS - - I UNDERSTAND
PINK'S GIVING YOU MORE COLOR.

I JUST DON'T THINK IT STAYS TRUE
TO THE OLD ROMAN ARCHITECTURE.

BUT THEY'RE A LITTLE MORE WOW-Y,
MORE WOW FACTOR, RIGHT?

SO THAT'S REALLY
WANT I WANT.

I DON'T ALWAYS AGREE
WITH MY CLIENT'S CHOICES

AND SELECTIONS ON MATERIAL,

BUT IT'S MY JOB AS A DESIGNER
TO PULL IT OFF

AND MAKE IT LOOK GOOD.

AND THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO.

I GUESS I'LL JUST ORDER

STRAIGHT FROM THE SUPPLIER
PATTY HAS FOUND.

ALL RIGHT.
WE CAN MAKE THAT WORK.

AWESOME.

DON'T MOVE ON ME, NOW.

SMARTPHONE RIGHT HERE.

MOVE A LITTLE BIT MORE.

OKAY.

ON THREE... THREE.

ALL RIGHT. GOT IT.

I'M SCARED TO KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO WITH THAT.

I'M PROFESSIONAL.

♪♪♪♪

WE'RE HERE
AT THE DEREMER PROJECT,

TRANSFORMING PORT RICHEY,
FLORIDA, INTO ANCIENT ROME.

THERE'S A TON OF TRAVERTINE
GOING INTO THE DEREMER PROJECT.

I MEAN, OVER 3,000 SQUARE FOOT
OF DECKING.

THE DEREMERS HAVE
TONS OF ARCHES ON THEIR HOME.

WE JUST NEED TO ACCENT THEM
AND MAKE THEM POP.

THE ROMANS LOVED TRAVERTINE.

I MEAN, ONE OF
THE LARGEST STRUCTURES

EVER BUILT OUT OF TRAVERTINE
IS STILL STANDING.

IT'S THE COLOSSEUM.

THIS MAY ALL SOUND
KIND OF STRAIGHTFORWARD,

BUT EVERYTHING
HAS JUST GOT TO BE PERFECT.

ALL THE COPING ON THE POOL,
ALL THE CURVES.

THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO

REALLY TAKE OUR TIME
AND LOOK AT.

ROME WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY,

AND THIS POOL
DEFINITELY WON'T BE, EITHER.

AND OF COURSE, WE'RE TOPPING OFF
ALL THIS DECKING

WITH CLASSICAL
ROMAN GEOMETRIC PATTERNS.

THE AREAS WITHIN THE POOL DECK

ARE GETTING COVERED
WITH ARTIFICIAL TURF.

ALL THAT GREENERY

WILL REALLY SOFTEN
ALL THE TRAVERTINE AND MARBLE.

OLD LUCAS,
HE DESIGNED THESE MOATS

THAT ARE, LIKE,
RIGHT UP AGAINST THE HOUSE.

SO WE HAD TO BUILD BRIDGES
OVER THE MOATS

TO GET TO THE BACKYARD
TO ACCESS THE SPA AND FIRE PIT.

- HEY, CRASH.
- WHAT YOU NEED THERE, BUDDY?

I NEED YOU TO TAKE OVER
THIS TILING PROJECT.

THE WHOLE IDEA IS
TO BASICALLY HAVE IT APPEAR

LIKE THE MOAT'S SPILLING INTO
THE POOL UNDER THESE BRIDGES,

BUT THEY'RE ACTUALLY
SEPARATE WATERS.

WE'RE NOT
GONNA MIX THE TWO.

BUT I WANT TO RAISE THIS
SPILLWAY UP FOUR MORE INCHES.

THIS WILL COME ACROSS THE FRONT
RIGHT THERE.

AND VOLià,
WE'VE GOT OUR SPILLWAY.

YOU'RE THE TILE MASTER.

GET OUT OF MY WAY, MAN,
SO I CAN GET THIS THING DONE.

WELL, NORMALLY I'M IN CHARGE

OF PIECING TOGETHER
ALL THE SMALLER ROCKWORK.

BUT TODAY, I'M IN CHARGE
OF A SPIRE FEATURE.

HEY, OLD MAN.
HOW YOU DOING WITH THE FIRE PIT?

I LAID IT ALL OUT.
IT'S A LITTLE OVER FOUR FOOT.

THE NEXT LAYER
YOU'RE GONNA STAGGER, RIGHT?

AND THEN WE GOT TO FLOAT IT OUT
SO IT'S ROUND.

IT GETS REALLY COLD
OUT HERE,

SO THIS FIRE FEATURE'S GONNA
KEEP US NICE AND TOASTY WARM.

IT'LL LOOK GOOD.

IT'S GONNA BE KILLER.

I'LL HAVE THIS DONE
IN NO TIME.

- ALL RIGHT.
- START YOUR CLOCK.

THIS FIREPLACE
TOOK ONLY 42 BLOCKS.

TO MATCH
THE REST OF THE DECK AREA,

WE'RE GONNA USE TRAVERTINE
COPING ON THE TOP,

AND WE'RE GONNA USE THE MOSAIC
TRAVERTINE TILE ON THE SIDES.

THE USE OF THE MOSAIC TILE

IS A SIGNATURE FEATURE
OF THE ROMAN ARCHITECTURE.

WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE,

IT'S GONNA BE
THE PERFECT HEIGHT.

YOU CAN BE SITTING
AROUND THE FIREPLACE

AND PUT YOUR FEET UP
ON THE COPING.

YEP. THAT'S THE ONE.

I'M HERE IN SARASOTA, FLORIDA,

TODAY AT MY FRIEND ROBERT'S SHOP

TO BRAINSTORM A SPECIAL GIFT
FOR THE DEREMERS.

I WANT TO GIVE THEM SOMETHING

THAT IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND
SIGNATURE PIECE

FOR THEIR ROMAN PALACE
BY THE SEA.

THERE YOU ARE, ROBERT.
WHAT'S UP, MAN?

HEY, BUDDY, HOW ARE YOU?

- GOOD. GOOD MORNING.
- WHAT'S UP?

SO, LUCAS,
EVERY TIME YOU COME HERE,

YOU HAVE A CRAZY IDEA.

WHAT'S THE GOOD NEWS NOW?

I COME HERE TODAY
ASKING YOU

TO DO SOME CLASSICAL
ROMAN ARCHITECTURE.

THAT'S WHAT I DO.

ROBERT STILL WORKS IN STONE
IN THE OLD-WORLD ARCHITECTURE.

HE COULD FABRICATE ANYTHING AS
SIMPLE AS A GRANITE COUNTERTOP,

ALL THE WAY UP

TO THE MOST INTRICATE STATUE
YOU'VE EVER SEEN.

WORKING ON A REALLY COOL PROJECT
RIGHT NOW.

THEY HAVE THIS REALLY
MEDITERRANEAN-STYLE HOME

ON THE GULF OF MEXICO.

BUT THEY REALLY WANT TO TAKE IT
MORE TOWARDS THE ROMAN STYLE.

YOU KNOW, I HAVE

PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THE
ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS COVERED,

BUT I WANT
A SPECIAL PIECE.

I NEED TO DO
SOME KIND OF SURPRISE.

LET ME SHOW YOU SOMETHING,
THEN.

WHAT DO YOU GOT
FOR ME HERE, ROBERT?

CORNELIUS,
ST. GEORGE...

I LOVE
THE STATUE IN THE MIDDLE.

BUT, IN MY MIND,

I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO DO
SOMETHING ON THE HOME.

SOMETHING FLATTER
THAT CAN HANG ON THE WALL.

I GOT YOU.
I GOT YOU.

THAT'S MY AREA - -
MORE FLAT ELEMENTS.

THAT'S DEFINITELY
MORE OF WHAT I'M THINKING.

I'D REALLY LIKE TO INCORPORATE
MAYBE, LIKE, A ROMAN FACE

WITH SOME KIND OF TRIMWORK
OR SOME LEAVES.

I THINK I DO HAVE AN IDEA
FOR YOU, BUDDY.

- YEAH?
- YEAH.

DON'T MOVE ON ME, NOW.

MOVE A LITTLE BIT MORE.

OKAY.

DON'T BREATHE.
ON THREE... THREE.

ALL RIGHT, GOT IT.

I'M SCARED TO KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE GONNA DO WITH THAT.

I'M PROFESSIONAL.

- COOL.
- NO STRESS.

- ALL RIGHT.
- I KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING.

LUCAS BROUGHT
ANOTHER CRAZY PROJECT.

HE WANTS SOMETHING CLASSICAL.

THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO DO.

ROMAN STYLES - -

THEY ARE VERY WELL-KNOWN,
SO I CAN'T MAKE ANY MISTAKES.

- HERE WE GO.
- DO IT, DO IT.

HANG ON.
IT'S GONNA BE A BUMPY RIDE.

I'M PORT RICHEY, FLORIDA,

WORKING ON THE DEREMERS'
ROMAN-STYLE POOL.

ALL OUR ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS
JUST ARRIVED.

WOW. IT'S FULL.

WE HAVE TWO SHIPPING CONTAINERS
COMPLETELY STOCKED FULL - -

THE COLUMNS, THE URNS,
THE FACES FOR THE ARCHWAYS.

HOLY MACKEREL.
LOOK AT THE DETAIL ON THAT.

WHOO. ONE DOWN.

I FEEL LIKE
EVERY TIME WE PULL A CRATE OUT,

IT FILLS IN WITH ANOTHER CRATE.

WE'RE FILLING UP
THIS WHOLE VACANT LOT

JUST WITH
TWO SHIPPING CONTAINERS.

IT'S LIKE
THE NEVER-ENDING CLOWN CAR.

I COULD BE LIKE HERCULES.

THAT'S A ZEUS GOD, ISN'T IT?

WHOO-HOO!

HEY, CRASH, OLD MAN,

LET'S HAVE A LITTLE POW-WOW
BEFORE WE GET STARTED HERE.

NORMALLY, WE'D BE SETTING
ALL OUR BOULDERS,

BUILDING BIG WATERFALLS.

THIS JOB, OBVIOUSLY,
TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

I DON'T KNOW.

SOME OF THE STATUES

WEIGH MORE THAN THE ROCKS
THAT WE BUILD WITH.

I KNOW.
THERE'S SOME HEAVY STUFF.

THOSE URNS ARE MASSIVE, MAN.

- YOU GOT TO BE CAREFUL.
- YEAH.

AND THE DIFFERENCE ABOUT THIS IS
IT'S ALL ABOUT PRECISION.

THIS IS SOMETHING WHERE
WE HAVE TO GO SLOW AND STEADY

BUT BE EFFICIENT

BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE TO
GET EVERYTHING DONE

IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.

IT'S GONNA BE
A CHALLENGE.

- YEP. LET'S GET TO IT.
- ALL RIGHT.

THAT IS ALL REAL.

THAT'S ALL REAL MARBLE.

WHY DON'T YOU GO GRAB
THE MACHINE?

THE ROMANS WERE REALLY KNOWN
FOR THEIR ARCHES,

AND THE DEREMERS HAVE
13 ARCHWAYS ON THEIR HOME.

WE JUST NEED TO ACCENT THEM

WITH THESE HAND-CARVED
MARBLE FACES.

WE'RE ADHERING THESE TO THE WALL
WITH SOME THIN-SET,

SOME EPOXY AROUND THAT.

AND THEN
WE'RE GONNA DRILL A PIN,

AND THEN GROUTING IT ALL IN.

SO, THERE'S FOUR DIFFERENT
THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING

TO MAKE SURE THESE FACES
NEVER COME OFF THE WALL.

SEEMS TO BE WORKING
PRETTY GOOD.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT.

SO, WE GOT
TWO DIFFERENT FACES.

ONE'S A GREEK GOD, BACCHUS.

HE'S THE GOD
OF PARTYING AND WINE.

THEN WE HAVE HIS WIFE,
ARIADNE,

GODDESS OF FERTILITY
AND VEGETATION.

WHO'S A THINKER?

NICE WORK, GUYS.

SO WE'RE GONNA ALTERNATE
MAN, WOMAN, MAN, WOMAN

OR IN THIS CASE,
GOD, GODDESS, GOD, GODDESS.

TAKE IT EASY.
SLOW DOWN.

WE'VE GOT
A LOT TO DO TONIGHT.

BECAUSE OF THE TWO MOATS,

SOME OF THESE ARCHES
WE CAN'T REACH WITH THE MACHINE.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO MUSCLE IT
THE REST OF THE WAY.

LET'S DO THIS.

THIS IS HOW
THE ROMANS REALLY DID IT,

WITHOUT ANY MACHINES.

- EXACTLY.
- ALL MAN-POWER.

WE GOOD ENOUGH?

NICE JOB.

WHO NEEDS A CRANE
WHEN WE'VE GOT YOU GUYS?

THIS WORKED PRETTY GOOD.

JOB ACCOMPLISHED.

NEXT, WE'RE PUTTING IN
THE CORINTHIAN MARBLE COLUMNS.

EVEN THOUGH THESE ARE

BIG, HEAVY, MARBLE
ARCHITECTURAL PIECES,

IT'S FUNNY.

IT SEEMS VERY MUCH
LIKE ROCK DAY.

BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME

WE'VE EVER WORKED
WITH MASSIVE COLUMNS.

LUCKILY, WE HAVE
SOME MARBLE INSTALLERS,

SOME EXPERTS WITH US.

SO BETWEEN OUR EXPERIENCE

WITH STRAPPING, RIGGING,
AND ALL THAT,

AND THEIR EXPERIENCE
WITH INSTALLATION,

I THINK TOGETHER
WE GOT THE DREAM TEAM

TO ACTUALLY GET THIS DONE
REALLY QUICKLY.

THAT'S IT.

NICE AND SLOW.

FIRST WE HAVE TO PLACE
THE BASE OF THE COLUMN.

KIND OF THE SCARY PART OF
PUTTING THIS ALL TOGETHER IS

WE HAVE THIS EPOXY
THAT'S STRONGER THAN MARBLE.

I MEAN, IF WE GLUE THIS STUFF
TOGETHER AND IT'S NOT RIGHT,

TO TAKE IT APART
WE'LL HAVE TO BREAK THE MARBLE.

SO WE'RE KIND OF
SETTING EVERYTHING OUT,

MAKING SURE IT WORKS...

IT'S GOT TO GO
THAT WAY.

YEP. THAT LOOKS GOOD.

...THEN HAVING TO SET IT AGAIN.

WE NEED SHIM THIS CORNER
RIGHT HERE.

BRING IT UP
SOME MORE.

OKAY. DOWN.

AND IT'S KIND OF LIKE
HAVING TO DO EVERYTHING TWICE,

BUT I JUST DON'T WANT TO
MESS THIS UP.

SO WE'RE JUST GONNA TAKE
THE LONG ROAD, PLAY IT SAFE,

AND KNOW AT THE END, WE'RE GONNA
GET TO OUR DESTINATION.

HERE IT COMES.

THE COLUMNS
ARE IN THREE SECTIONS.

YOU'VE GOT THE BASE,
THEN YOU HAVE THE SHAFT.

YOU GOT TO TURN IT.
IT NEEDS TO SPIN.

YEP. THERE.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST,
THE TOP.

YEAH, BUDDY.
KEEP GOING.

OKAY,
GO UP A LITTLE MORE.

BRING IT DOWN.

OKAY.

YEAH, THAT LOOKS GOOD.
THAT LOOKS GOOD.

FOR THE WATER FEATURES,

WE'RE DOING
HAND-CARVED MARBLE URNS

THAT FILL UP WITH WATER
AND OVERFLOW,

JUST LIKE THE ONES
AT CAESARS PALACE.

SO, HOW ARE
WE PUTTING THIS URN IN?

IT'S GONNA SLIDE DOWN
OVERTOP OF THAT PIPE.

WE'RE GONNA EPOXY IT
TO THE BASE,

MAKE SURE IT'S CENTERED.

THEN THAT PIPE'S
GONNA FILL IT WITH WATER.

IT'S GONNA OVERFLOW.
IT'S GONNA BE GORGEOUS.

THAT THING'S GOT TO BE
AT LEAST 4,000 POUNDS.

I MEAN, THAT'S SOLID MARBLE,
OLD MAN.

HE'S RIGHT AT HIS LIMIT
TO GET IT INTO HERE, TOO.

COME DOWN EASY.

YEP. YEP. YEP.

OKAY.
PUSH IT A LITTLE BIT.

OKAY, HOLD UP.

YEAH, YEAH. BACK TO ME.
BACK TO ME.

A LITTLE BIT - -
YEAH, RIGHT THERE.

RIGHT THERE.

I FEEL LIKE
IT DOESN'T LOOK LEVEL.

WE GOT TO MAKE SURE
THIS IS LEVEL

SO THE WATER FLOWS EVENLY
OVER THE WHOLE THING.

OKAY. PERFECT.

NICE JOB, GUYS.

THAT'S REALLY SWEET.

IT'S TIME
FOR ANOTHER INSANE QUESTION.

YOU ASKED "CRASH,

HOW LONG CAN YOU HOLD
YOUR BREATH UNDERWATER?"

WELL, LET'S FIND OUT AFTER THIS.

BEFORE THE BREAK,
THE QUESTION WAS,

"HOW LONG
CAN YOU HOLD YOUR BREATH?"

LET'S FIND OUT TOGETHER.

HEY, OLD MAN,
COME ON OVER HERE.

I NEED YOU TO TIME ME

AND SEE HOW LONG I CAN HOLD
MY BREATH UNDERWATER.

OKAY.

GO.

SO, WHAT'D I DO?
OLD MAN, WHERE ARE YOU?

THE CREW AND I ARE WORKING ON
A REALLY COOL, UNIQUE POOL

HERE IN PORT RICHEY, FLORIDA,
FOR THE DEREMERS.

THE FIRST ONE - -

RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE BRIDGE.

I WAS REALLY INSPIRED
BY MY TRIP TO VEGAS - -

ESPECIALLY THAT GAZEBO.

SO, I ORDERED A HAND-CARVED
MARBLE ONE TO GO AROUND THE SPA.

THE GAZEBO HAS
THE MOST NUMBER OF PIECES,

AND ALL THESE ELEMENTS
ARE REALLY HEAVY.

THANKFULLY, THEY'RE
KIND OF COMING IN SECTIONS.

SO WE GOT TO FIND 2.

I SEE WE GOT 8, 14...

THAT LOOKS LIKE A 15.

WHY COULDN'T THIS BE
IN AN ORDER?

I MEAN, THAT WOULD MAKE
TOO MUCH SENSE.

THIS LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE 2.
IT'S 2.

- OOH!
- THESE AREN'T EVEN THAT HEAVY.

WOW. ALL BY YOURSELF?
WHAT A MAN.

HOW HEAVY IS THIS THING?
TOO HEAVY FOR US TO CARRY?

PERFECT. OKAY.

THAT'S GOOD.
GOOD STRAPPING.

IT'S GONNA FEEL LIKE
YOU'RE IN ROME.

COMING OVER YOUR HEAD.

YEAH, BUDDY.
YEAH, BUDDY.

YEAH, IT'S FITTING
TOGETHER PERFECT.

WHOO-HOO!

GOOD JOB, OLD MAN.

YEAH,
BRING ON THE LADIES NOW.

THIS GAZEBO'S REALLY COOL,

BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST COLUMNS.

THESE COLUMNS
ARE LADIES HOLDING GRAPES.

BE GENTLE WITH HER,
NOW.

IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING
THAT PATTY'S GONNA LOVE

WHEN SHE SEES IT ALL DONE.

THIS IS HER SEAT.

AND THEY'RE REALLY BEAUTIFUL
AND ORNATE

AND HAVE
SOME OF THAT PINKISH COLOR

THAT KIND OF TIES IN
WITH THE HOUSE.

EVEN THOUGH WE GOT
THE GAZEBO ALL DONE,

THERE'S STILL THE BIG DOME
FOR THE TOP OF IT.

THE ROMANS
WERE KNOWN FOR THEIR DOMES.

IN THE SPIRIT OF CREATING
THAT ARCHITECTURAL LOOK,

THIS DOME IS PERFECT

TO GIVE PATTY AND GARY
THIS ROMAN BACKYARD.

WE GET THIS OVER THERE
AND INTO PLACE,

AND IT'S LIKE
THE CHERRY ON TOP OF GAZEBO.

THE NICE THING
ABOUT THE CHERRY IS

IT MEANS WE'RE ALL DONE.

WELL, TO SET THE DOME
IS A LITTLE TRICKY.

I GOT SUNSHINE.

I GOT OLD MAN SITTING
ON LADDERS, GUIDING IT IN.

I HAVE LUCAS ON THE GROUND

POINTING OUT
WHERE IT NEEDS TO GO,

SO THIS SHOULD BE INTERESTING.

OLD MAN, YOU READY?

YEAH. READY.

MOVE IT IN A LITTLE.

JUST GO SLOW.

SO IT IS A PRETTY WINDY DAY,

AND UNTIL THIS THING'S
SECURED ON TOP...

OKAY. WHOA, WHOA.

ALL RIGHT, REAL SLOW.

...IT'S GONNA BE
A LITTLE WOBBLY.

EVERYBODY HOLD A 2x4.

SO, IT'S TAKEN A LOT OF PEOPLE

TO POSITION THIS DOME
ON TOP OF THE STATUES.

JUST COME DOWN SLOWLY.

PUSH IT THIS WAY!

I THINK YOU NEED TO SHIFT IT
A LITTLE BIT.

YEAH, IT NEEDS TO GO THAT WAY,
BUT IT HAS TO DO IT BY SPINNING.

OKAY.

- ALL RIGHT. THAT'S GOOD.
- ALL RIGHT, HOLD.

THERE IT IS.
THERE IT IS.

- ALL RIGHT.
- IT LOOKS GOOD.

YOU THOUGHT THAT WAS
THE CHERRY ON THE TOP?

THIS IS
THE CHERRY ON THE TOP.

- WHOA.
- SWEET.

ACTUALLY,
THAT'S THE WHIPPED CREAM,

AND THAT'S THE CHERRY.

CRASH, BOOM ME
RIGHT OUT OVER THE MIDDLE.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO IT.

- HERE WE GO!
- DO IT, DO IT.

HANG ON, IT'S GONNA BE
A BUMPY RIDE.

DON'T DROP ME.

SHOULD JUST HAVE THIS
ON THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

THERE YOU GO.
THAT SHOULD WORK.

THIS IS REALLY HIGH.

THAT'S IT.

WHEN I WAS ON THE GROUND
LOOKING UP,

IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE
THAT BIG OF A DEAL.

HOW'S THE VIEW UP THERE?

I'M NOT GONNA LIE, GUYS.
THIS IS A LITTLE BIT SCARY.

DON'T WORRY.

IT DOESN'T LOOK SCARY
FROM DOWN HERE.

DON'T DROP ANYTHING.

I'M GLAD
IT'S NOT ME UP THERE.

THIS ISN'T REALLY EASY.

- COME ON!
- MAN, HURRY THIS THING UP.

I'M STARTING TO GET HUNGRY.

I WONDER
IF HE SHOULD USE A WRENCH.

HEY, GUYS, YOU WANT TO
GET OUT OF HERE,

GO GET SOME LUNCH?

- ALL RIGHT.
- JUST SHUT THE MACHINE OFF.

- LET'S GO TO LUNCH.
- DON'T LEAVE ME UP HERE.

I'M ALMOST DONE.
COME ON!

IS THIS, LIKE, ONE OF
THOSE LONG LUNCHES THAT WE GET?

YEAH, I HEARD
THERE'S A NICE RESTAURANT,

LIKE, A LONG WAYS A WAY.

OKAY.

- COME ON. I'LL BUY.
- YOU'RE BUYING?

- YEAH, I'M BUYING.
- ALL RIGHT. SWEET.

**** ARE YOU GUYS DOING?

JUST HANG OUT!
TAKE A NAP!

WHY DON'T YOU
JUST GET ME DOWN HERE

AND QUIT GOOFING OFF.

YOU HEAR SOMETHING?
I DON'T HEAR ANYTHING.

HEY. HEY!

FINE! THEN YOU'RE FIRED!

I DON'T KNOW

WHAT HE'S GETTING
ALL BENT OUT OF SHAPE FOR.

HE SHOULD ENJOY IT.
THERE'S A NICE VIEW UP THERE.

YOU...

TAKE IT ALL IN.

REAL FUNNY, YOU GUYS.

WE'RE IN PORT RICHEY, FLORIDA.

THEY SAY,
"ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME,"

BUT I THINK THEY'RE GONNA LEAD
TO THE DEREMERS.

WE GOT A FEW FINISHING TOUCHES.

IT'S REALLY COMING TOGETHER.

IT'S LIKE A CHARIOT.

TO THE PATIO!

FOR EVERY BATH HOUSE,
YOU NEED SOME TOWELS.

LUCAS SENT ME
ON A SPECIAL MISSION,

AND WHEN I WENT AND SAW
WHAT ROBERT HAD CREATED,

I KIND OF GOT
A LITTLE BIT INSPIRED.

FRIENDS! ROMANS! COWORKERS!

LEND ME YOUR EAR.

I HAVE BROUGHT AN OFFERING
FROM THE GREAT ROBERT,

FABRICATOR FOR
THE DEREMERS' SURPRISE.

WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?!

YOU GUYS ARE KILLING THE VIBE.
I-I - - YOU KNOW WHAT?

I CAN'T DO THIS.

WHAT THE HECK?

I THINK YOU'RE GETTING
WAY INTO THIS.

TO GET YOU GUYS
MORE IN THE MOOD,

WAIT TILL YOU SEE
WHAT I HAVE IN STORE FOR YOU.

I'M GETTING A LITTLE NERVOUS
ABOUT THIS.

WHEN IN ROME...

DO AS THE ROMANS DO.

WOW!

BUT MAYBE IN THIS CASE,
"DRESS AS THE ROMANS DID."

YEAH. THIS IS THE MOST SUN
MY HEAD EVER GOT.

LUCAS, I MADE YOU
JULIUS CAESAR BECAUSE...

LOOK AT THAT.
IT'S CAESAR. NICE.

RECOGNIZE THAT FACE AT ALL,
THAT NOSE?

IS MY NOSE REALLY THAT BIG?

WOW, IT DOES
REALLY LOOK LIKE YOU.

WOW. IT IS A BIG NOSE.

IF MY BIG NOSE MAKES ME CAESAR,
THE RULER OF AN EMPIRE,

I'LL TAKE IT.

WELL, YOU BUILT
THIS BEAUTIFUL ROMAN BATH,

SO IT MIGHT AS WELL HAVE
YOUR FACE ON THE WALL.

GOT SOME WEIGHT TO IT.

THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.

QUIT SCREWING AROUND.

ET TU, CRASH?

IT LOOKS GOOD.

HAIL CAESAR.

NICE.

WELL,
THE DEREMERS' SURPRISE IS UP.

BUT NOW IT'S TIME
TO SHOW PATTY AND GARY

THEIR BRAND-NEW
PALACE BY THE SEA.

SO, GUYS, ARE YOU FIRED UP
TO SEE YOUR POOL OR WHAT?

- ABSOLUTELY! YES!
- YEAH, WE CAN'T WAIT.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
IS PRECISION.

THE ROMANS BUILT THINGS THAT
WERE PRECISELY FIT TOGETHER,

AND I'M HOPING
THAT'S WHAT WE GET.

ALL RIGHT,
WELL, LET'S GO.

- OKAY.
- ALL RIGHT.

I THINK THE BEST WAY
TO SHOW THIS MASSIVE POOL

IS TO REALLY TAKE THEM UP
ON THEIR BALCONY

TO REALLY APPRECIATE THE
SYMMETRY, THE GEOMETRIC SHAPES.

BEFORE I LET YOU PEEK,

I JUST WANT TO TAKE YOU
BACK IN TIME

TO THE FIRST DAY
I MET YOU GUYS.

YOU HAD GREEN GRASS BUT NO POOL.

LET'S DO THIS!

ALL RIGHT.
I'LL COUNT TO THREE,

AND THEN YOU GUYS
CAN OPEN YOUR EYES.

ONE... TWO... THREE!

- HOLY MACKEREL!
- MY GOSH.

IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL!

IT'S AMAZING, LUCAS.

THIS IS - -

WOW, I GOT TO TAKE A MINUTE
TO JUST TAKE IT IN HERE.

I MEAN, WOW!

THE GRANDEUR - -
INCREDIBLE.

I HAVE GOOSE BUMPS!
LOVE IT.

MY GOSH.

WELL, I'VE NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

THESE COLUMNS ARE MASSIVE.

AND THEY JUST RISE UP
OUT OF THE WATER.

ALL ASPECTS OF THE DESIGN

HAVE THAT TRADEMARK SYMMETRY
THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

IT IS A ROMAN POOL.

I MEAN,
HOW DO YOU LIKE THIS MOAT?

I MEAN, ISN'T THAT COOL,

HAVING THE WATER COME
RIGHT UP TO YOUR HOUSE?

- WOW!
- WOW.

WITHOUT THE MOATS, IT WOULDN'T
BE ANYTHING SPECIAL AT ALL.

IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE A CASTLE
RISING OUT OF THE SEA.

YEAH, THIS IS PRETTY COOL.

YOU KNOW,
YOU COME DOWN A COUPLE STEPS,

THEN YOU HAVE THE BRIDGE COMING
OUT ONTO THE CIRCULAR ISLAND.

AND THEN YOU CAN EITHER
GO LEFT OR RIGHT.

YOU HAVE THOSE BRIDGES
OVER THE MOAT.

THEY JUST KIND OF ARCH AND TURN.

YOU KNOW,
I REALLY LOVE HOW THE MOAT

LOOKS LIKE AN AQUEDUCT
SPILLING INTO YOUR ROMAN POOL.

I LIKE
THE SOUND OF IT, TOO.

THE RUNNING WATER SOUND
IS SO AWESOME.

LOOK AT THE FACES.

YEAH, THEY ARE SUPER COOL.
THEY CAME OUT FANTASTIC.

YOU KNOW, BEFORE IT WAS
JUST A STUCCOED PINK ARCHWAY.

THERE WAS NO CONTRAST,
RIGHT?

BUT JUST ADDING THE TEXTURES
OF THE SHELLSTONE

AND THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL
MARBLE FACES

GAVE IT THAT REALLY COOL
ARCHITECTURAL VALUE.

I SEE BACCHUS,
THE GOD OF WINE.

AND LOOK AT THESE URNS.

I WAS REALLY INSPIRED

BY EVERYTHING I SAW
AT CAESARS PALACE,

ESPECIALLY THE URNS.

THEY REALLY STAND OUT.

CHECK OUT
YOUR GAZEBO AREA.

ALL OUT OF MARBLE - - I MEAN,
IT FEELS LIKE A ROMAN SPA.

IT'S AMAZING.
THE GIRLS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL.

THE COLORS, TOO - -
ALL THE COLORS TOGETHER.

YOU KNOW, IT ALL WORKS
FOR THE PROPERTY.

NOTHING LOOKS
OUT OF PLACE.

AND THE COOL THING IS

EVERYTHING'S DONE
FROM YOUR PHONE.

SO, LIKE, RIGHT NOW,
I CAN TURN ON THE BLOWER.

AND YOU GOT THE URNS
THAT YOU CAN CONTROL SEPARATELY.

THE SPILLWAYS,
YOU HAVE THE SPA, THE POOL.

- AWESOME.
- I MEAN, IT'S THAT EASY.

SO EVEN THOUGH WE DIDN'T DO
TWO SPAS AND TWO GAZEBOS,

WE HAVE TWO
OF THE SAME CIRCULAR AREAS - -

ON THIS SIDE IT'S A SPA,
WHERE YOU'RE WARM,

AND ON THAT SIDE, IT'S A FIRE
AND YOU'RE WARM, RIGHT?

VERY SYMMETRICAL.

AWESOME.

THE NICE THING IS

THERE'S ALL THESE DIFFERENT
AREAS TO HANG OUT.

I MEAN, RIGHT NOW,
IT'S SO BREEZY AND COLD,

BUT YOU CAN STAY WARM
BY THE FIRE.

IT'S DEFINITELY
LOOKING INVITING RIGHT NOW.

- YEAH?
- IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

WELL, GUYS,
THERE'S ONE MORE VIEW

I WANT YOU TO SEE
OF THE PROPERTY.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE IT
UNTIL WE GET RIGHT TO IT.

SO WE HAVE TO
CLOSE OUR EYES AGAIN?

YEAH, JUST KIND OF CLOSE
YOUR EYES AGAIN.

HERE, HOLD MY HAND
AND HOLD GARY'S HAND.

OKAY,
RIGHT THERE IS GOOD.

- RIGHT HERE?
- YEP. ALL RIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU'LL SEE IT RIGHT AWAY.

LET'S SEE
IF YOU CAN FIND IT.

MY GOSH!

IT HAS YOUR PROFILE!

IT'S YOUR NOSE!
IT DOES!

HE THOUGHT I HAD
A GOOD ROMAN NOSE, SO...

YOU'RE IN STONE NOW.

I'M LOOKING OVER
YOUR PALACE FOR YOU.

AWESOME.
YOU'VE GOT A NICE, STRONG JAW.

FINISHES IT OFF, THOUGH.

YEAH. RIGHT?

YOU HAD TO HAVE SOMETHING
RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

- WOW.
- THAT IS SO COOL.

THAT'S WONDERFUL.

THIS THING
JUST BLOWS MY MIND.

IT'S REALLY
JUST A MASTERPIECE OF ART.

YEAH.
HE'S NOT JUST A COOL BUILDER.

YOU GET SOMETHING SPECIAL
WITH LUCAS.

- THAT'S JUST AWESOME.
- BRING IT IN!

ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
YEAH. THERE YOU GO.

THIS WAS A VERY DIFFICULT BUILD,

BUT IN THE END, I MEAN,
THE DEREMERS ARE HAPPY.

I'VE CREATED
EVERYTHING THAT THEY'VE WANTED.

THE END RESULT
IS JUST BREATHTAKING.

IT'S SO OPULENT, SO BEAUTIFUL.

AFTER DOING A JOB
THIS TECHNICAL,

AS A DESIGNER,

I FEEL REJUVENATED,
ACCOMPLISHED.

I FEEL LIKE I COULD DO ANYTHING.

ALL RIGHT.
WELL, I LEAVE YOU TO ENJOY

YOUR BRAND-NEW
ROMAN PALACE BY THE SEA.

AWESOME!

- SEE YOU, GUYS.
- BYE, CAESAR AUGUSTUS.

LOOK AT THAT.
LOOKS AMAZING.

WOW. YEP.

TO BE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE THIS
EVERY DAY IN OUR FOREVER HOME.

I DON'T SEE MYSELF
GOING ANYWHERE ELSE.

IT'S PARADISE.

LUCAS HAS GIVEN US OUR DREAMS.
