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

TODAY,
I'M HERE IN OSPREY, FLORIDA,

WHICH IS JUST SOUTH OF SARASOTA
ON THE GULF OF MEXICO.



AND I'M ABOUT TO GO MEET
TOM AND GERI CHAFFEE.

TOM AND GERI ARE LITERALLY
5 MINUTES AWAY FROM MY HOUSE,

SO IT'S SUCH AN EASY COMMUTE.

I WISH EVERYTHING WAS THIS EASY.

CAN'T WAIT TO CHECK IT OUT
AND SEE WHAT THEY HAVE FOR ME.

GOOD MORNING.
ARE YOU GERI?

- YES, I AM.
- I'M LUCAS.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

I AM GERI CHAFFEE.

MY HUSBAND, TOM,
AND I LIVE IN OSPREY, FLORIDA,

WITH OUR THREE KIDS.

AS YOU PROBABLY FIGURED OUT,
OUR NAMES ARE TOM AND GERI.

SO THE COMEDY USUALLY FLOWS.

YOU CAN ACTUALLY IMAGINE WHAT
WE GOT FOR WEDDING PRESENTS.

MY WIFE, GERI, AND I FIRST MET
AT A NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY

ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO.

WE'VE BEEN MARRIED 18.

SPENT SEVERAL YEARS
WORKING AS A MUSICIAN

AND HAVE PLAYED AND WRITTEN
HUNDREDS OF JINGLES

AND COMMERCIAL MUSIC.

LET ME CHECK OUT
YOUR BACKYARD, GUYS.

WOW, YOU GUYS!
I MEAN, LOOK AT YOUR VIEW!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

THIS IS AWESOME!

YEAH.

I MEAN, I LOVE THE WAY

YOUR WHOLE HOUSE
OPENS UP TO THIS.

I MEAN, IT'S ALMOST
LIKE YOU'RE LIVING IN THE WATER.

WHAT A PROPERTY.

THEY'RE RIGHT ON THE WATER,

WHICH IS VERY EXCITING

BECAUSE I ALWAYS LOVE
THOSE WATER VIEWS,

AND I LOVE TO INCORPORATE THEM
INTO MY DESIGNS.

BEFORE WE GET INTO KIND OF
KICKING AROUND SOME IDEAS,

I REALLY LOVE TO LEARN
ABOUT MY CLIENTS FIRST.

SO TELL ME A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT YOURSELVES.

YEAH, WE HAVE THREE KIDS.

THOMAS IS 18 YEARS OLD.

HE'S A SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL.

HE'S VERY SCHOLARLY
AND ACADEMIC.

GABO IS 16.

GABO IS NICKNAME FOR GABRIEL,

WHICH IS,
GABRIEL IN ENGLISH.

BRITNEY, CAME TO US
WHEN SHE WAS 17 YEARS OLD.

I MEAN, THIS IS A GIRL
WHO COULDN'T EVEN

STRING A SENTENCE IN WRITING
WHEN SHE CAME IN.

SHE'S OUR "BLIND SIDE" STORY

BECAUSE NOW SHE'S GOING
TO LAW SCHOOL AND TO FAMILY LAW.

AND HOPEFULLY
SHE WILL TOUCH A LOT OF PEOPLE.

WOW.
WHAT A GREAT STORY.

SO KIND OF WALK ME
THROUGH YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS

FOR THE OUTDOOR AREA.

WE LIVE RIGHT IN THE CENTER
OF A BIRD SANCTUARY.

SO AT ANY GIVEN TIME,

THERE ARE PROBABLY
30 ON THE PROPERTY.

AND MOST BIRDS HERE
GET THEIR WATER

BY FLYING TO POOLS
AND DRINKING CHEMICAL WATER.

AND IT'S TERRIBLE.

SO WHATEVER WE CAN DO
TO UTILIZE THE WATER

IN A MORE
ECO-FRIENDLY MANNER

BUT, MOST IMPORTANTLY,
CREATE A BIRD SANCTUARY

INSIDE THE BIRD SANCTUARY.

YOU KNOW,
WE'RE LOOKING FOR A WAY

TO, YOU KNOW,
ADD TO THEIR LIVES, TOO.

YEAH.

YOU KNOW,
BEFORE I DID POOLS,

I DID A LOT OF PONDS.

AND THAT'LL BE A FUN,
LITTLE RESEARCH PROJECT FOR ME

TO KIND OF FIGURE OUT
HOW TO INCORPORATE

ALL THOSE THINGS FOR BIRDS
INTO THE POND.

BUT, I MEAN,
I'D LOVE TO DO ANOTHER POND.

I THINK IT'S SO COOL

THAT THEY'RE TRYING
TO CREATE A PLACE

WITH FRESH, CLEAN WATER
FOR THE BIRDS TO DRINK

SO THEY'RE HEALTHY
AND THEY'RE HAPPY.

WE DEFINITELY NEED
A HOT TUB.

AS FAR AS A POOL,
I THINK THE SHAPE WORKS.

I KNOW THIS POOL
IS A LOT BIGGER

THAN WHAT USUALLY
IS CONSTRUCTED NOW.

I THINK
THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.

AND SO WE ACTUALLY CAN USE
THE EXISTING POOL

AND JUST MAKE IT,
YOU KNOW, SOMETHING MORE MODERN.

YOU KNOW, THE DECKING,
IT'S, YOU KNOW, BRICKS

AND, LIKE, THE COPING
IS NOT VERY MODERN.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO SEE
HOW COULD WE BRING

SORT OF A MODERN LOOK

ON TOP OF A NATURAL
BIRD SANCTUARY.

THAT'S VERY COOL.

THERE'S ONE LAST THING
ABOUT THE POND.

- OKAY.
- SINCE TOM'S A MUSICIAN,

WE WANT TO HAVE
A HIDDEN STAGE THERE

THAT YOU CAN'T NOTICE IT.

BUT, YOU KNOW,
ALL OF A SUDDEN,

A GUY CAN GO UP THERE
WITH A GUITAR

AND PLAY A FEW TUNES.

WELL, THIS IS GETTING
REALLY INTERESTING.

YEAH, SO...

BIRDS AND, YOU KNOW,
STRAGGLING MUSICIANS.

I LIKE IT.
SO THE STRAGGLER POND.

EXACTLY.

I THINK I JUST NEED
TO KIND OF SPEND SOME TIME

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR YARD
AND EVERYTHING

AND DRAW UP SOME IDEAS.

THEN I'LL MEET UP
WITH YOU GUYS

AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK.

- SOUNDS GOOD.
- GREAT.

COOL.

THE CHAFFEE FAMILY'S
REALLY LOOKING FOR SOMETHING

THAT'S KIND OF HIP AND COOL,

YET MINIMALISTIC AND MODERN,
AS WELL.

A WATERWALL MAYBE
LIKE RIGHT HERE?

IT NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING
KIND OF VIBRANT AND FUN...

THEY NEED THE STAGE.
GET OUT THE GUITAR. YEAH.

...BUT UNDERSTATED

AND ALLOWING, REALLY,
TO APPRECIATE

ALL THE BEAUTIFUL NATURE
THAT SURROUNDS THEIR PROPERTY.

HEY, BUDDY.

YOU'RE GONNA WANT
TO HANG OUT HERE

WHEN WE'RE ALL DONE
WITH YOUR BIRD SANCTUARY.

SO I HAVE THIS REALLY GOOD,
SOLID PLAN

THAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW THE FAMILY.

BUT I HAD NO IDEA

THEY WERE BRINGING OUT
ALL THE GUNS.

I MEAN, THEY GOT THEIR TWO BOYS,

THOMAS AND GABO,

THEIR DAUGHTER, BRITNEY,

AND THEN, ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT,

GERI'S MOTHER, ABUELA MARTHA.

NOW IT'S TIME TO SIT DOWN
WITH THEIR FAMILY

AND HEAR FROM EACH ONE OF THEM
WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR.

I HOPE MY PLAN
COVERS ALL THE BASES.

BEFORE I KIND OF GET
INTO MY DESIGN,

I'D REALLY LOVE TO HEAR
FROM EACH ONE OF YOU

WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO SEE HERE,
SO...

HOT TUB
WOULD BE GREAT.

HONESTLY, I WOULD REALLY
LIKE SOMETHING

THAT MAKES WATER NOISE,

SO ANY SORT OF WATER FEATURE
LIKE THAT.

I LOVE WATER FEATURES, MYSELF.

THAT'LL BE NO PROBLEM.

SO I'M ALL ABOUT
THE "WOW" FACTOR.

SO I'M GONNA BE
ABOUT YOUR DETAILS - -

THE TILES, THE COLOR PALETTES,
THINGS LIKE THAT.

BECAUSE IT'S SUCH
A MODERN DESIGN,

THAT IF IT'S NOT DONE
WITH GREAT PRECISION,

IT COULD REALLY
MESS UP THE ENTIRE THING.

YOU KNOW, USUALLY PEOPLE HAVE
THESE HUGE GROTTOS.

AND YOU CAN KIND OF
HIDE SOMETHING

IN THE BACK
IF IT DOESN'T WORK OUT.

BUT IN THIS CASE,
THERE'S NOTHING.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE
IT'S DONE REALLY, REALLY WELL.

WELL, WHO'S THIS LOVELY
YOUNG LADY OVER HERE?

WELL, MY NAME IS MARTHA.

I BORN IN ARGENTINA.

EVERYBODY CALLS ME
ABUELA MARTHA,

THAT MEANS GRANDMA MARTHA.

AND I LIKE LUCAS.

WELL, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU'D
LIKE TO SEE IN THIS BUILD FOR YOU?

FOR MY - - ME,
I WANT YOU TO BUILD A HOT TUB FOR ME.

SO YOU LOVE
TO COOK FOOD FOR THE FAMILY

AND THEN RELAX IN THE HOT TUB
WHEN YOU'RE ALL DONE?

YES, THAT'S RIGHT.

WELL, AND GERI AND TOM,
OF COURSE,

I'VE ALREADY MET YOU GUYS
AND GOT YOUR IDEAS.

SO LET ME KIND OF GO OVER
EVERYTHING A LITTLE BIT QUICK.

THE DESIGN STARTS
WITH THE EXISTING POOL.

I'M GONNA RESHAPE IT
INTO A PERFECT RECTANGLE.

AND I'M THINKING ADD A WATERWALL
ON THE RIGHT SIDE.

- THAT'S GREAT.
- THAT SOUNDS GREAT.

BUT, YOU KNOW,
I REALLY WANTED

TO CREATE
THAT INFINITY EDGE LOOK.

AND BECAUSE WE CAN'T RAISE
THE WHOLE POOL UP,

I THINK A REALLY BIG SPA.

YOU KNOW, I'M THINKING, LIKE,
AN 8-BY-12 THAT'S ELEVATED.

THAT WAY, WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING
OUT FROM THE HOUSE,

ALL YOU SEE IS THE WATER
OF THE POOL

TO THE WATER OF THE SPA
TO THE WATER OF THE BAY.

GREAT.
OF COURSE,

THERE WILL BE TONS OF LIGHTING.

BUT ALSO, I'D LOVE TO DO
A FIRE FEATURE RIGHT THERE.

SO WHEN YOU'RE SITTING INSIDE
LOOKING OUT,

YOU SEE THIS INFINITY EDGE LOOK,

LIKE WATER FLOATING ON WATER,

BUT THEN ALSO
FIRE RIGHT NEXT TO IT.

FIRE FEATURE IN THE POOL?

YEAH, RIGHT BY THE SPA.
WOULDN'T THAT BE COOL?

NO! NO WAY!
IT'S GONNA BURN MYSELF.

IT'S NOT GONNA BE, LIKE,
WHERE YOU'RE GONNA GET BURNED.

IT'S JUST GONNA BE SOMEWHERE

WHERE YOU CAN LOOK AT IT
AT NIGHT FOR AMBIENCE.

- YES! I LOVE IT!
- THAT'S GREAT.

I NOTICED, IS THAT
FOR OUR BIRDS OVER THERE?

YEAH, YEAH.
SO, YOU KNOW,

THIS IS ALL ABOUT JUST BEING
VERY MINIMALIST YET BEAUTIFUL

AND REALLY
FOCUSING YOUR VIEW

ON THE BAY
AND THAT BIRD SANCTUARY.

FANTASTIC.
THAT'S GREAT.

THIS POOL ACTUALLY MEANS A LOT
TO THE FAMILY.

IT IS A GATHERING PLACE.

IT IS A PLACE WHERE WE'RE GONNA
BE ABLE TO USE EVERY DAY.

GERI AND I ARE NOT
GETTING ANY YOUNGER,

AND WE WANT TO BE ABLE
TO ENJOY THIS HOUSE

WELL INTO OUR 80s.

AND I THINK HAVING A POOL
OF THIS QUALITY

AND OF THIS CALIBER
WILL SUSTAIN US THROUGH THAT.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, DO I HAVE
YOUR GUYS' BLESSING

TO KIND OF CONTINUE FORWARD

IN GETTING THE PERMITS
FOR THIS PROJECT?

- YEAH.
- GO FOR IT.

- YEAH?
- YEAH. ABSOLUTELY.

NICE, GUYS. AWESOME.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

FOR THE CHAFFEE PROJECT,

I HAVE A BUDGET
OF $175,000 TO $200,000

AND 12 WEEKS TO GET IT DONE.

THIS IS GONNA BE A GREAT BUILD,

AND I CAN'T WAIT
TO GET MY TEAM OUT HERE

AND GET STARTED
ON BLENDING A MODERN POOL

WITH A NATURAL BIRD OASIS.

♪♪♪♪

WELL, COME CHECK THIS OUT, GUYS.
HERE WE GO AGAIN.

I SEE WE GOT
A BUNCH MORE PINK PAVERS.

YUP.

THIS IS THE CHAFFEE FAMILY.

THIS JOB IS REALLY DIFFERENT,

AND IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT THE POOL.

THEY LOVE THIS AREA

BECAUSE OF
ALL THE NATURE AROUND,

YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY BIRDS.

THEY WANT TO BUILD, LIKE,
A SANCTUARY WITHIN A SANCTUARY.

SO WE'RE BUILDING THEM
A BIG DRINKING FOUNTAIN

FOR THE BIRDS.
EXACTLY.

WELL, THEY GOT A WHOLE SANCTUARY
RIGHT BEHIND US.

WHY CAN'T THEY JUST
DRINK THAT WATER?

THAT'S SALT WATER, OLD MAN.

THEY CAN'T LIVE OFF OF THAT.
- ALL RIGHT.

SO THEY REALLY WANT TO GIVE
THESE BIRDS, YOU KNOW,

A HEALTHY, NATURAL ENVIRONMENT.

WE'RE BASICALLY RECREATING
A NATURAL FLORIDA ECOSYSTEM

IN THEIR BACKYARD.

AND HOW ARE YOU GONNA
INCORPORATE

THE DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS
OF DIFFERENT BIRDS?

YOU BRING UP A GOOD POINT.

SO I'M DEFINITELY GONNA HAVE
TO DO MY RESEARCH AND FIGURE OUT

WHAT KIND OF BIRDS
I'M TRYING TO ATTRACT,

WHICH LEADS ME INTO WHY THIS JOB
IS SO UNIQUELY DIFFERENT.

SO THIS POND IS PART OF
A WHOLE WATER-SAVING ECOSYSTEM

FOR THE BIRDS.

WE'RE GONNA CAPTURE
THE RAINWATER OFF THE ROOF

WITH NEW GUTTERS AND DOWNSPOUTS.

WE'RE GONNA CHANNEL THAT
INTO A NATURAL POND

FOR THE BIRDS TO GET
A FRESH DRINK OF WATER

AND HANG OUT IN.
WOW.

WE'RE ALSO CREATING
A PLACE FOR MUSICIANS.

- COOL.
- SO LET'S KIND OF

GET UP INTO THE POOL AREA.

AND LET ME TELL YOU
MY VISION FOR THAT.

THE WHOLE THEME
TO THIS BUILD IS REALLY WATER.

SO I THOUGHT,
"WELL, WHAT IF WE DID,

LIKE, THIS BIG HOT TUB

THAT HAD AN INFINITY EDGE
ALL THE WAY AROUND IT

BUT USE, LIKE,
BLACK GRANITE TILES

OR SOME KIND OF DARK TILE

SO IT JUST LOOKED
LIKE A FLOATING OBELISK?"

SWEET.

THEY'RE ACTUALLY
DONATING THE CAGE

AND ALL THESE PAVERS
TO AN ANIMAL SHELTER,

AND THEY'RE GONNA
REPURPOSE EVERYTHING.

WE'RE GONNA BASICALLY
PUT THE POOL BACK

RELATIVELY THE SAME.

- NICE.
- LESS WORK FOR US.

- YEAH.
- YOU GUYS READY?

- YEAH.
- YEAH.

♪♪♪♪

WELL, WE MIGHT AS WELL
START DEMO

WITH THE EASIEST PART - -
THE SHED.

JUST LIKE THE CHAFFEES,

WE ALWAYS TRY TO DO OUR PART
FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

WE'LL REPURPOSE THESE PAVERS
FOR ANOTHER PROJECT.

CONCRETE?

I THOUGHT THIS WAS
ALL SUPPOSED TO BE SAND.

WHILE TEARING OUT THE PAVERS,

I DISCOVERED CONCRETE
UNDERNEATH THEM.

IF THE WHOLE AREA
AROUND THE POOL IS LIKE THIS,

I DON'T THINK LUCAS CAN DO
THE POOL THE WAY HE WANTS TO.

HEY, OLD MAN,
I RAN INTO A PROBLEM.

YEAH, SO DID I.

- WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?
- I RAN INTO CONCRETE.

IT'S SUPPOSED
TO JUST BE SANDSET.

I FOUND CONCRETE
OVER THERE.

THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM.

YEAH.

♪♪♪♪

ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
COME ON OUT.

HEY.
GREAT.

I'M HERE IN OSPREY, FLORIDA,

TRYING TO WORK
ON THE CHAFFEE POOL.

THE POOL PART
OF THIS PROJECT

WAS SUPPOSED TO BE
A SIMPLE UPDATE,

JUST ADDING A WATERWALL,
A SPA, AND A FIRE FEATURE.

WE THOUGHT THE AREA
AROUND THE POOL WAS SAND,

WHICH WOULD ALLOW US
TO DIG AROUND THE POOL

TO ADD PLUMBING AND MAYBE JUST
DEMO SECTIONS OF THE POOL.

BUT WHEN CRASH AND OLD MAN
WERE PULLING UP THE PAVERS,

THEY FOUND A CONCRETE DECK,
WHICH CHANGES EVERYTHING.

I THINK WE NEED TO GET
A HUGE EXCAVATOR IN HERE

AND JUST RIP OUT THE DECK,
THE POOL, AND EVERYTHING

AND START FRESH.

OKAY.

EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN
THINKING UP TO THIS POINT

IS WITH THE POOL HERE.

LUCAS NOW WANTS TO RIP OUT
THE ENTIRE POOL.

AND IT'S A LITTLE
STRESSFUL.

WE WEREN'T EXPECTING IT.

APPARENTLY, THIS IS TURNING
INTO A COMPLETE POOL DEMOLITION

INSTEAD OF
A POOL RENOVATION.

OKAY,
SO KEY QUESTION - -

DOES THAT GIVE YOU
MORE OPTIONS?

WELL, ABSOLUTELY.

I MEAN,
IF WE'RE STARTING FRESH,

WE DON'T
HAVE TO KIND OF WORK

WITHIN THE CONSTRAINTS
OF WHERE THIS POOL IS

AND THE SHAPE OF IT.

WELL,
I LOVE THE DESIGN.

YEAH,
I LIKE THE DESIGN.

YOU STILL LOVE
THE DESIGN.

AND WE CAN JUST KIND OF
DO THE SAME DESIGN

BUT WITH THE NEW POOL.

WITH THAT BEING SAID,
IF YOU WANT TO TWEAK ANYTHING,

NOW'S THE TIME BECAUSE
WE HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED YET.

I'D LOVE TO HAVE
AN OUTDOOR KITCHEN.

IS THAT POSSIBLE?

WE CAN DO ANYTHING
AS LONG AS WE'RE WILLING

TO ADD A LITTLE BIT
OF TIME

AND BUDGET
TO THE PROJECT.

IF WE PUSH THE POOL
BACK FURTHER INTO THE YARD,

WE GAIN ROOM HERE
FOR POSSIBLY A DINING AREA.

AND THEN,
MAYBE OFF TO THE SIDE,

WE COULD ADD
AN OUTDOOR KITCHEN

WITH AN OUTDOOR SINK,
A FRIDGE, AND A GRILL.

I THINK OVER THERE,
THAT'S GONNA BE, LIKE,

THE PERFECT SPACE FOR IT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I THINK IT'S GREAT.
I THINK IT'S AWESOME.

YOU'RE GETTING
YOUR OUTDOOR KITCHEN.

ALSO,
I HAVE ANOTHER IDEA.

NOW THAT WE CAN EXPAND,

MAYBE WE KIND OF
SPLIT UP THE POOL AREA

AND THE BIRD SANCTUARY AREA

AND PUT MAYBE, LIKE,
A DECK SPACE BETWEEN THEM,

WHERE YOU CAN, YOU KNOW,

KIND OF HANG OUT
AROUND THE FIRE FEATURE

AND ENJOY THE VIEW.

YEAH, THAT SOUNDS GREAT.
I LIKE THAT.

WELL, AS LONG AS YOU GUYS
LIKE THAT LAYOUT

DO I HAVE
YOUR FINAL APPROVAL?

BECAUSE ONCE YOU SAY,
"GO,"

IT'S GONNA START
HAPPENING REALLY FAST.

- ABSOLUTELY.
- YOU LIKE THAT?

ALL RIGHT.
YEAH, I LOVE IT.

ALL RIGHT!
NICE!

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GONNA MAKE
THE MAGIC HAPPEN, GUYS.

- HEY, THANKS, BROTHER.
- ALL RIGHT. YOU GOT IT.

- GOOD JOB, MAN. THANKS AGAIN.
- ALL RIGHT.

SEE YA SOON.

♪♪♪♪

APPARENTLY, WE GOT THE
GO-AHEAD TO RIP OUT THE OLD POOL

TO PUT A NEW ONE IN.

SO IT'S DEMO TIME.

NEXT,
WE'LL CREATE THE SKELETON

AND SHAPE OF THE POOL
WITH REBAR.

AND THEN WE LAY OUT THE PIPES
AND THE ELECTRICAL CONDUIT.

FINALLY, IT'S TIME FOR GUNITE.

THIS POOL IS HUGE.

IT'S GONNA TAKE ABOUT 80 YARDS
TO FILL IT.

♪♪♪♪

FOR THIS PROJECT,

THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT
OF BLUE TILE

AND A LOT OF TRAVERTINE TO LAY.

YOU KNOW, I WORK REALLY HARD.

SO EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,
I NEED TO TAKE A BREAK.

BUT WITH ALL THIS CONSTRUCTION
GOING ON, I'M REALLY WORRIED

THAT THE BIRDS
ARE GONNA JUST WANDER OFF.

BUT I HAVE A PLAN.

COME ON, BIRDIES.

COME GET SOMETHING TO EAT.

HERE YA GO.

HERE.

AWESOME.

- THE HELL?
- YOU MISSED IT.

HE GOT IT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

AW, LEAVE ME ALONE.
I'M HAVING FUN.

I'M CLEANING UP THEIR MESS.

GO OVER THERE SOMEWHERE
AND FEED THEM.

NO.

CRASH IS SUCH A GRUMPY GUY.

I CAN'T HELP
BUT ANNOY HIM TIME TO TIME.

HE'S GOT TO LEARN HOW TO EASE UP
AND HAVE A LITTLE FUN IN LIFE.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
SINCE YOU'RE FEEDING THEM,

YOU GET TO CLEAN IT.

I'M OUTTA HERE.

HERE YOU GO.
GET IT.

NICE CATCH.

ALL RIGHT.

LUNCHTIME OVER.

I GOT TO GET BACK TO WORK

BEFORE CRASH YELLS AT ME
SOME MORE.

♪♪♪♪

♪♪♪♪

I'M HERE IN OSPREY, FLORIDA,
WORKING ON THE CHAFFEE BUILD.

TOM AND GERI REALLY LOVE

THAT KIND OF MODERN,
MINIMALIST FEELING.

SO THE POOL, THEY WANT TO BE

KIND OF VERY MINIMALISTIC
AND SLEEK.

SO I HAD THE IDEA
OF DOING A WATER WALL

WITH THESE BLACK
MEXICAN BEACH PEBBLES

'CAUSE THAT'S GONNA LOOK
REALLY COOL.

BUT ALSO, THIS PROJECT
IS FOR THE BIRDS.

SO I NEED TO MAKE A BIRD POND

THAT REALLY EMBRACES THE NATURE
THAT SURROUNDS THE AREA.

I'VE DONE A LOT OF PONDS,
INCLUDING QUITE A FEW KOI PONDS.

BUT I'VE NEVER DONE A BIRD POND.

SO I THINK IT'S BEST
IF I FIND AN EXPERT

ON NATIVE FLORIDA ENVIRONMENTS

TO HELP ME OUT
WITH THE POND AREA.

WELL, THANKS FOR COMING
OUT TODAY, FRANK.

I JUST WANT TO KIND
OF GO OVER

THE WHOLE IDEA BEHIND THE POND,
THE LANDSCAPE,

MAKE SURE
WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE.

SO I'VE ASKED FRANK GABRY,

WHO SPECIALIZES IN ECO-FRIENDLY,
NATIVE-FLORIDA LANDSCAPE DESIGN,

TO HELP US OUT.

WHAT MAKES
A FLORIDA-FRIENDLY YARD?

YEAH, WHAT I FOUND IS
IT REALLY STARTS WITH THE SOIL

THAT IS GOOD WITH
MICROORGANISMS AND NUTRIENTS

THAT EARTHWORMS CAN PROCESS

AND MAKE AND BUILD THE SOILS
BETTER AND BETTER

AND UTILIZING NATIVE PLANTS

BECAUSE NATIVE PLANTS GO
WITH THE CYCLE OF FLORIDA.

RIGHT.

EVERYTHING GOES HAND IN HAND
WITH EACH OTHER.

WE CREATE SUSTAINABLE
LIVING SPACE AROUND A YARD

TO REDUCE THE WATERING
THAT'S USED

AND SO THAT THE BIRDS CAN REALLY
HAVE A GOOD TIME HERE.

WELL, IT SOUNDS GREAT,
FRANK.

I CAN'T WAIT
TO GET MY TEAM

AND YOUR TEAM HERE
TOGETHER, COLLABORATING.

IT'S GONNA BE GOOD FUN.

YES, IT IS.
I LOOK FORWARD TO IT.

♪♪♪♪

HEY, OLD MAN, CRASH, SUNSHINE,
COME GIVE ME A HAND.

WE GOT TO GET THIS UNLOADED.

YOU GOT
SOME ARTIFICIAL ROCK?

THIS IS BASICALLY
RECYCLING AND REUSING.

THESE WERE LEFTOVER REMNANTS

FROM A PROJECT
WITH ARTIFICIAL STONE.

AND I THINK THEY'RE GONNA MAKE
PERFECT FORMS

FOR INDIVIDUAL POOLS
THAT SPILL INTO THE MAIN POND.

I HAD SOME LEFTOVER PIECES
OF FIBERGLASS

THAT I THOUGHT WOULD MAKE
PERFECT BASINS

TO FORM THE TWO DIFFERENT LEVELS
OF POOLS

THAT FLOW INTO EACH OTHER

BEFORE IT SPILLS
INTO THE MAIN POND.

BY HAVING THESE
THREE DIFFERENT POOLS,

IT GIVES MORE AREAS
FOR THE BIRDS

TO HAVE FUN AND SPLASH AROUND.

ALL RIGHT.
IT'S INSTANT PONDS.

YEAH, INSTANT PONDS.

BESIDES, I DO HAVE
THE NATURAL STONES, AS WELL.

I MEAN, LOOK AT THESE MONSTERS
I FOUND IN MY BACKYARD.

THIS IS THE NATIVE
FLORIDA LIMESTONE.

SINCE WE'RE DOING A NATIVE,
FLORIDA-FRIENDLY YARD,

THESE ROCKS ARE PERFECT.

ONE ALREADY LOOKS LIKE
IT ALREADY HAS A TREE IN IT.

YOU KNOW, I HAD THIS ROCK
SITTING IN MY YARD

FOR SO LONG

A BRAZILIAN PEPPER TREE
GREW THROUGH THE HOLE.

BUT THEN I LEFT THE STUMP
COMING THROUGH THE ROCK

BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
A PERFECT BIRD PERCH.

- THERE YOU GO.
- ALL RIGHT, GUYS.

TRY TO CARRY THESE ARTIFICIAL
ROCKS HORIZONTALLY,

CAREFULLY, TO THE BACKYARD.

GOT IT?
- YUP.

JUST PULL IT THIS WAY
A LITTLE BIT MORE.

ALL RIGHT.
LOOK AT THAT.

ALL RIGHT.
SO JUST PACK THIS ALL IN AROUND.

ALL RIGHT, FRANK.
WE'RE READY FOR THE POND LINER.

LET'S ROLL IT OUT.

- WE'RE DOING GOOD.
- ROLL IT OUT.

LET'S TAKE THIS UP.

THIS STUFF IS, LIKE, THICK, MAN.
IT'S DURABLE.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO LAST
AT LEAST 20 YEARS.

ROLL ONCE.
ROLL TWICE.

ROLL CHICKEN SOUP WITH RICE.

NORMALLY, I DON'T LIKE
USING POND LINERS

AS MUCH AS I LIKE
BUILDING EVERYTHING

OUT OF CONCRETE.

BUT BECAUSE WE WENT KIND OF
CRAZY WITH THE BUDGET

BY RIPPING OUT EVERYTHING
AND STARTING WITH A FRESH BUILD,

SAVING MONEY BY USING A LINER
IS DEFINITELY THE WAY TO GO.

LET'S START GETTING
ALL THE ROCKS

THAT WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE
TO WRESTLE INTO PLACE.

I LOVE IT WHEN WE GET TO DO
NEW PROJECTS LIKE THIS.

WE'VE DONE REGULAR PONDS.

WE'VE DONE KOI PONDS.

AND NOW, WE GET TO DO
A BIRD POND.

I GUESS I COULD ADD
THAT TO MY RéSUMé.

ALL RIGHT. UNSTRAP IT.
LET'S KEEP GOING.

PUT A LITTLE PIECE
IN THERE.

AND THEN WE'LL PUT
IN THE REST ON TOP.

FLORIDA CAP ROCK IS SHARP,

SO WE'VE USED
EXTRA PIECES OF LINER

TO STOP THE ROCK EDGES

FROM PIERCING THE MAIN LAYER.

THERE YOU GO.

♪♪♪♪

YEAH, THIS WOOD GRAIN
IS REALLY NICE.

TODAY, I'M GONNA BE WORKING
ON THE OUTDOOR KITCHEN.

AND WE'RE GONNA STAMP
THIS WOOD GRAIN ON IT

TO MAKE IT LOOK
LIKE IT'S MADE OUT OF WOOD.

AND IT'S GONNA LOOK GREAT.

I'M GONNA GO OVER THAT.

THIS STAMP THING IS NEAT.

YOU CAN USE IT ON WALLS,
COUNTERTOPS, AND EVEN FLOORS

TO CREATE THE LOOK OF WOOD.

WOW.
I LIKE IT.

WATCH YOUR FINGERS.

IT'S STILL GOT WEIGHT.

ALL DONE.

JUST MAKE SURE
YOU HAVE A STRAIGHT LINE

ALL THE WAY DOWN.

GEEZ.

HE'S GONNA GIVE AN OLD MAN
A HEART ATTACK.

OLD MAN'S ALREADY GROANING.

SO I'M JUST GONNA START
MESSING WITH HIM.

SEE,
I CAUGHT YOU THAT TIME!

♪♪♪♪

HEY, BRITNEY.

Hi, Luke.

HOW'S IT GOING?

It's going well.

BRITNEY'S THE CHAFFEE'S
OLDEST DAUGHTER.

WE MET WHEN I STARTED
THE PROJECT,

BUT SHE'S BEEN AWAY
AT LAW SCHOOL.

SO I HAVEN'T SEEN HER LATELY.

WELL, WHAT DO I OWE
THE PLEASURE?

So want to ask
a small request of you.

We just got back
from a vacation together

and got some really nice
family photos done.

And I would really like to maybe
blow one of those up.

SOUNDS GREAT.
WELL, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?

Maybe do, like, the woodwork
and stuff to frame it out?

I'm not really sure.
- RIGHT.

MY FRIEND,
CELESTE,

WOULD BE PERFECT
FOR THIS PROJECT,

THE WHOLE STYLE
OF HER FURNITURE

YOU KNOW, ALL THE WOOD
THAT SHE USES

HAS ALREADY FALLEN.

SO WE'RE NOT CUTTING DOWN
NEW TREES.

WE'RE NOT PART
OF THE DEFORESTATION PROBLEM.

SO IT'S REALLY GONNA FIT
THE DESIGN IN ADDING

AN ELEMENT
WITH THE PORTRAIT

AND MAYBE FRAME IT IN THAT
REALLY COOL RECLAIMED WOOD

THAT CELESTE HAS.

AND DO YOU HAVE, LIKE,
A SIZE IN MIND OR...?

Go big or go home.

ALL RIGHT.
I GOTCHA.

I LIKE IT.

- Aw, thank you so much.
- YOU'RE WELCOME.

YOU'RE GONNA BE HERE, THOUGH,
WHEN I SHOW THEM THE POOL

FOR THE FIRST TIME, RIGHT?

- Absolutely.
- AWESOME.

WELL, HAVE A GREAT DAY.
I'LL TALK TO YOU SOON.

- Bye.
- ALL RIGHT, BYE.

♪♪♪♪

OSPREY, FLORIDA,
IS ACTUALLY A BIRD SANCTUARY.

AND WE'RE BUILDING
A BIRD SANCTUARY

INSIDE A BIRD SANCTUARY.

TO HELP US OUT,
LUCAS IS BRINGING OVER HIS FRIEND, FRANK.

HE'S AN EXPERT AT MAKING
ECO-FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENTS.

ALL RIGHT, NOW, MAKE SURE
IT'S GREEN SIDE UP.

NEXT, WE'RE GONNA PLACE
THIS COOL ROCK

THAT HAS A LITTLE PERCH ON IT

UP HIGH SO THE BIRDS
CAN ACTUALLY STAND ON IT

AND OVERLOOK THEIR KINGDOM
OR OVERLOOK THEIR POND.

- IS THAT THE EAGLE PERCH?
- YEAH.

LIKE I SAID, YOU CAN GET
TWO BIRDS WITH ONE ROCK.

PSHH!

- LET'S TRY IT THIS WAY.
- LET'S DO IT THIS WAY.

LOOKS LIKE IT CURVES
RIGHT AROUND HERE.

LET'S TRY BRINGING IT
IN A LITTLE THAT WAY.

OOP, A LITTLE TOO FAR.
RIGHT THERE, YEP.

PERFECT, PERFECT!

THAT LOOKS GOOD.
GREEN SIDE UP!

I LIKE IT.

NOW, WE GOT TO CUT
THESE SHARP THINGS.

OR THE BIRDS WILL NEVER
SIT ON THESE.

NO!
WE GOT TO CUT THAT OFF.

THIS IS THE BEST THING
FOR THE BIRD.

THEY SIT ON THIS THING?

THAT WAY, THEY CAN CLEAN THEIR
BEAK ON IT... YOU KNOW?

IF I WAS A BIRD,
I WOULDN'T LAND ON THAT.

I WISH I WERE A BIRD
SO I COULD FLY AWAY.

YEAH.

WELL, CRASH, I'M DONE
WITH WHAT I HAD TO DO.

WELL, HOPEFULLY
YOU GOT SOME ENERGY.

WE GOT TO START DIGGING.

WHAT IS THIS?

I'M DIGGING OUT
A CISTERN FOR OUR POND.

ALL THE WATER FROM THE HOUSE
IS GONNA COLLECT HERE.

AND THEN IT'S GONNA
RUN DOWN,

LIKE, A PIPE ALL THE WAY
TO OUR POND.

SO THIS IS GIVING
THE FRESH WATER TO THE BIRDS?

YOU ACTUALLY CARE
ABOUT THE BIRDS?

YES, I DO.
WOW.

WELL,
YOU DID A GREAT JOB.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU NEED ME FOR.

THIS IS ONLY HALF-DONE.

WE GOT A LONG TRENCH

ALL THE WAY DOWN THERE.

HOLY MOLY.

YOU WANT ME TO DIG
ALL THE WAY DOWN THERE?

YES, SIR.

NOW, I'M ALWAYS
DOING THE HARD WORK.

HOW DEEP
DO YOU WANT THIS?

JUST MAKE SURE
YOU HAVE A STRAIGHT LINE

ALL THE WAY DOWN.

GEEZ.

HE'S GONNA GIVE AN OLD MAN
A HEART ATTACK.

OLD MAN'S ALREADY GROANING,

SO I'M JUST GONNA START
MESSING WITH HIM.

WHAT WAS THAT?

WHAT?

SOMETHING CAME CRASHING
DOWN HERE.

IT HAD TO BE FROM CRASH.
I'M OVER HERE DIGGING.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

SEE?
I CAUGHT YOU THAT TIME!

GEE, YOU TRY TO HELP A GUY OUT,
AND THIS IS THE THANKS I GET.

I NEED A BREAK.

YEAH, HE CAN ALWAYS FIND
A WAY TO SIT DOWN.

MISSED ME.

ABOUT THE FASTEST
I'VE SEEN YOU MOVE ALL YEAR.

AND THE HIGHEST
I EVER JUMPED, TOO.

♪♪♪♪

THE CHALLENGE
WITH THIS BUILD IS,

HOW DO WE TAKE
THIS MINIMALIST ENVIRONMENT

AND BLEND IT
WITH THE NATURALIST ENVIRONMENT?

AND I THINK THE TRANSITION,

USING AN IPé WOOD DECK,
A NATURAL WOOD,

STARTING WITH RECTILINEAL ANGLES

AND GOING INTO A FREE-FORM SHAPE

IS GONNA BE A GREAT WAY
TO MAKE THAT TRANSITION.

IT'S GONNA BE BEAUTIFUL.

ALSO, TODAY,
WE'RE INSTALLING ALL-NEW GUTTERS

ON THE ROOFLINE OF THE HOUSE
THAT WILL COLLECT THE RAINWATER

AND FEED IT INTO OUR BIRD POND.

I'M HERE TODAY VISITING
WITH NANCIE AND STEVEN.

THEY BUILD BEAUTIFUL
CUSTOM FURNITURE.

I GOT A SPECIAL PROJECT FOR THEM
AT THE CHAFFEE RESIDENCE.

AND I KNOW IT'S
RIGHT UP THEIR ALLEY.

I KNOW IT'LL BE
A PERFECT FIT FOR THEM.

NEED TO DO SOMETHING...

HEY, NANCIE, STEVEN.
WHAT'S UP GUYS?

HEY, YOU JUST WALK IN?
HOW'S IT GOING? YEAH.

WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON?

WHAT'S GOING ON, MAN?
HOW YOU BEEN?

GOOD. YOU?
GOOD, JUST WORKING.

YOU KNOW HOW IT IS.
YEAH, I HEAR YOU.

SO WHAT DO YOU GOT
FOR ME TODAY?

I GOT ONE JOB GOING ON RIGHT
IN MY HOMETOWN OF OSPREY.

THEY'RE INTO BEING
KIND OF ECO-FRIENDLY.

THEY'RE REALLY CONSCIOUS
ABOUT THEIR FOOTPRINT.

SO THEY'RE WANTING
TO CREATE THIS BIRD SANCTUARY.

AW, THAT'S CUTE.

SO IN THE MIDST
OF THIS WHOLE POND

IS GONNA BE,
YOU KNOW, THIS AREA

THAT'S NOT MEANT
TO LOOK LIKE A STAGE,

BUT IT CAN FUNCTION
AS A STAGE, SO...

THAT'S COOL.

AND THAT'S WHERE
YOU GUYS COME IN.

I WANT TO CREATE A NICE,
LITTLE SEATING AREA

TO ENJOY THE BIRDS.

BUT WHEN
THE MUSICIANS PLAY,

YOU CAN USE THOSE BENCHES
FOR SEATING.

DEFINITELY.
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

WE DON'T WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE
A BUNCH OF BLEACHERS, RIGHT,

WITH BENCHES EVERYWHERE.
NO, WE GET IT.

YOU KNOW, WHY DON'T WE DO
MAYBE SOME CONCRETE,

YOU KNOW, BUILD SOME
REALLY COOL

JUST CONCRETE WALLS
ON EITHER SIDE

AND THEN DO A REALLY COOL
PIECE OF, LIKE,

OLD WOOD IN THE MIDDLE

SO IT HAS, LIKE,
THAT REAL ORGANIC...

YEAH.
...AND ALSO HAS, LIKE,

YOU KNOW, THE MODERN FEEL
TO IT, AS WELL.

IT SOUNDS REALLY GOOD.
IT SOUNDS EXCITING.

THESE BENCHES
THEMSELVES ARE GONNA BE, LIKE,

THIS HARMONIOUS BLEND
OF NATURALISTIC AND MODERNISTIC.

AND I CAN'T WAIT
TO SEE THOSE BENCHES

AND THIS BIRD SANCTUARY.

WELL, I LIKE THIS IDEA.

- GOT TO HAVE CONCRETE.
- I THINK IT'LL LOOK GREAT.

I THINK IT'S PERFECT.

WE'RE DOING, LIKE,
AN AQUA CONCRETE.

SO THAT WAY, IT KIND OF
GOES WITH ALL THE ELEMENTS

THAT, YOU KNOW, LUCAS HAS
GOING ON IN THIS PROJECT.

NOW, WE'RE GONNA GO GET
SOME REALLY COOL, OLD CYPRESS.

IT'LL HOLD THREE, FOUR,
FIVE PEOPLE IF WE NEED IT TO.

THEN WE'RE GONNA CUT THE WOOD
JUST RIGHT

SO THAT WAY, THE CONCRETE
WILL COME THROUGH

TO MAKE THAT PERFECT,
MODERN BENCH

BUT WITH REALLY SLEEK LINES.

HEY, INSANE POOL FANS.

IT'S TIME
FOR AN INSANE QUESTION.

I HAVE SOMEONE WHO ASKS,
"WHERE'S SUNSHINE FROM?

'CAUSE HIS ACCENT SOUNDS
LIKE BOSTON."

WELL, STAY TUNED,
AND YOU'LL FIND OUT.

BEFORE THE BREAK, I WAS ASKED
AN INSANE QUESTION.

AM I FROM BOSTON
BECAUSE OF MY ACCENT?

WHAT, ARE YOU KIDDING TO ME?

LISTEN TO THIS,

AND THEN TELL ME
IF I'M FROM BOSTON.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING OVER HERE?

CAN'T YA HEAR ME?

YOU'RE STEPPING
ON SOMEBODY'S TOES

'CAUSE THAT'S
THE TYPE OF GUY YOU ARE.

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE,
BABY. AWESOME.

I'M FROM NEW YORK,
ONE OF THE FIVE BOROUGHS,

STATEN ISLAND, BORN AND BRED.

♪♪♪♪

WE'RE AT THE CHAFFEE RESIDENCE,

BUILDING A MODERN POOL
AND INTEGRATING THAT

WITH A NATURAL BIRD SANCTUARY.

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL.

THIS POND IS ALSO GONNA BE
A STAGE FOR TRAVELING MUSICIANS.

I BROUGHT YOU OVER HERE
'CAUSE WE'RE READY

TO START
OUR STAGE PROJECT.

WE NEED TO CREATE THE STAGE

FOR THE BAND
TO PLAY ON RIGHT IN HERE.

WE'RE REALLY PUTTING
A STAGE HERE?

IT'S MORE, LIKE,
GONNA BE A STONE PATIO

THAT CAN BE USED
AS A STAGE.

WE WANT IT TO LOOK
VERY NATURAL

AND KIND OF BLEND
WITH THE ENVIRONMENT.

BUT MY IDEA IS TO BASICALLY
KIND OF COME OFF OF HERE,

KIND OF COME OUT AROUND
LIKE SO, KIND OF LIKE THAT.

SO BASICALLY, WE'RE GONNA BUILD
A RETAINING WALL RIGHT IN THERE,

THEN BACKFILL IT,
HAVE AN ELEVATED STAGE.

I WANTED THIS TO FEEL
LIKE A NATURAL SETTING.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT,
LIKE,

A FIVE-PIECE BAND
AND A ROCK CONCERT,

MAYBE TWO OR THREE
MUSICIANS.

ALL RIGHT.
LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN.

THIS TIME,
I'LL GET ON THE MACHINE

SINCE I KNOW IN MY MIND
WHAT ROCKS I WANT WHERE.

AND YOU GET TO WRESTLE
THE ROCKS AROUND.

YOU CAN WORK A LITTLE BIT
OF THAT LOVE OFF, ANYWAY.

GET OUT OF HERE.

MAKING FUN OF MY BELLY.

DONE.
I LIKE IT.

HEY, CRASH.
FURNITURE, BUDDY.

FURNITURE.

LET'S GET HER GOING.

HEY, THIS IS LIKE
A GAME OF TETRIS.

YEAH, CRASH,
LET'S JUST SET THIS ALL UP

ON THE WOODEN DECK.

OKAY.

MAN, RAY, WE PICKED OUT
A LOT OF FURNITURE.

WELL, BIG SPACE, NEEDS A LOT
OF FURNITURE, LUCAS.

DUDE,
IT LOOKS SO GOOD, THOUGH.

I'M PUMPED.
- YEAH, IT'S GETTING THERE.

IT'S ALL
COMING TOGETHER, GUYS.

SO HEAVY.

IT'S THE NEW STYLE OF HAT.

PUSH HIM IN THE POOL.

CELESTE IS HERE WITH
ALL KINDS OF CUSTOM SURPRISES,

ONE FOR THE BIRDS
AND ONE FOR THE CHAFFEES

FROM THEIR DAUGHTER, BRITNEY.

LET'S GET IT AS CLOSE
TO THE ROCKS AS WE CAN

SO WE MAXIMIZE OUR SPACE.

THAT'S PRETTY COOL?

OOH, THAT'S PRETTY COOL.

- THAT GETS IT REALLY HIGH.
- THAT'S PRETTY COOL.

AND WHAT'S REALLY COOL

ABOUT ALL THE MATERIALS
WE USED FOR THIS IS

IT'S ALL SALVAGED.

IT'S ALL RECLAIMED MATERIALS,
ALL NATURAL,

FITS IN WITH THE WHOLE THEME
THAT YOU HAVE GOING ON HERE.

IT'S ACTUALLY
AN OLD FENCE POST...

SUPER COOL.
...FOR THE BIRDS TO HANG OUT.

NICE.

COME ON. HURRY UP, GUYS.
COME ON.

CELESTE DID A GREAT JOB

MARRYING THE MINIMALIST
AND NATURALIST LOOK TOGETHER

IN COMING UP
WITH THAT SECOND BIRD PERCH.

WE'RE GETTING CLOSE
TO FINISHING

THIS PEOPLE AND BIRD OASIS.

WE GOT THE POOL HEATER GOING IN.

FURNITURE IS BEING PLACED.

IT'S LIKE CHRISTMAS.

OOH, WOW.
LOOK AT THAT?

NICE!

♪♪♪♪

THE DAY'S FINALLY HERE.

I GET TO SHOW THE CHAFFEE FAMILY
THEIR NEW BACKYARD.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S ALREADY
BEEN 12 GRUELING WEEKS.

THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE
WITH THIS CHAFFEE BUILD

WAS TAKING A REALLY MODERN,

MINIMALIST, MAY I SAY,
MAN-MADE LOOK...

- INSTANT PONDS.
- YEAH, INSTANT POND.

...AND BLEND IT IN WITH
THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AROUND.

ALL RIGHT, NOW, MAKE SURE
IT'S GREEN SIDE UP!

BUT SOMEHOW, WE PULLED IT OFF,
AND IT LOOKS SO GOOD.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
COME OVER HERE FOR A SECOND.

WHAT'S THE DEAL?

YEAH, JUST WANTED TO TALK
TO YOU FOR A MINUTE

BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO SHOW YOU

YOUR BACKYARD
FOR THE FIRST TIME.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

VERY EXCITED.

I THINK
IT CAME OUT FANTASTIC.

IT'S SO MUCH BETTER
THAN I EVEN THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.

THAT'S GREAT.
NOW I'M REALLY EXCITED.

- YOU READY TO DO IT?
- WE'RE READY.

- VERY READY.
- LET'S DO IT.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS. LET'S DO IT.
LET'S GET THE FAMILY.

IT'S LIKE
CHRISTMAS MORNING.

WE'RE MOMENTS AWAY FROM
STEPPING INTO THE BACKYARD.

AND ALL I'M TRYING TO DO

IS MAINTAIN THE CALM
IN THE FAMILY.

HOLD EACH OTHER'S HANDS.

SAFETY FIRST.

EVERYBODY'S EXCITED,

AND WE HAVEN'T SEEN
WHAT'S GONE ON BACK THERE,

SO WE'RE KIND OF
FREAKING OUT.

ALL RIGHT, YOU GUYS.

THANKS FOR BEING
PATIENT WITH ME.

I JUST LOVE TO GET EVERYBODY
IN THE RIGHT POSITION,

SO WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR EYES,

YOU CAN GIVE ME
YOUR NATURAL REACTIONS.

BUT BEFORE
I LET YOU DO THAT,

I JUST WANT TO KIND OF
TAKE YOU BACK IN TIME,

THAT OLD, DATED POOL

THAT HAD NO HOT TUB,
NO HEAT.

NO ONE EVER WENT INTO IT.

IT WAS COLD
AND HAD PINK PAVERS AROUND IT.

YOU HAD THAT UGLY
WHITE POOL CAGE

THAT WAS FALLING APART.

I JUST HOPE THAT
WHEN YOU GUYS OPEN YOUR EYES,

YOU WILL NOT ONLY SEE
THE INDIVIDUAL FEATURES

THAT EACH ONE OF YOU
HAVE REQUESTED,

BUT ARE EXCITED TO SEE

HOW ALL YOUR IDEAS COME TOGETHER
IN ONE JUST AMAZING DESIGN.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS. I'LL FINALLY
COUNT TO THREE FOR YOU.

YOU READY?
- YES.

- ALL RIGHT.
- YEAH.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

CHECK OUT YOUR NEW POOL!

- WHOA.
- WOW!

MY GOSH.

♪♪♪♪

I'M IN OSPREY, FLORIDA, TODAY
IN MY HOMETOWN,

ABOUT TO SHOW THE CHAFFEE FAMILY
THEIR NEW BACKYARD.

THIS POOL, I'M SO PROUD OF.

IT'S A VERY DIFFERENT DESIGN

THAN ANYTHING
WE'VE EVER DONE BEFORE,

AND I CAN'T WAIT
TO GET THEIR REACTIONS.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS. I'LL FINALLY
COUNT TO THREE FOR YOU.

THEN YOU CAN LOOK AND GIVE ME
YOUR HONEST REACTION.

YOU READY?
- YES.

- ALL RIGHT.
- YEAH.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

CHECK OUT YOUR NEW POOL!

- WHOA.
- WOW!

- MY GOSH.
- SHUT THE FRONT DOOR.

- WHAT IS THAT?
- WOW.

LOOK AT THAT.

THAT'S AMAZING!

- I LOVE THIS!
- THAT BAR IS GORGEOUS.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.

I SERIOUSLY FEEL
LIKE WE'RE AT A HOTEL.

I DON'T THINK THIS IS REAL.

THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.

I LOVE THE WAY
THIS WATERWALL CAME OUT,

I MEAN, WITH THE BLACK
BEACH PEBBLES.

- LOOK AT THAT!
- YEAH.

MY GOSH.

IT LOOKS SO MODERN
AND MINIMALIST,

YET IT'S ALL NATURAL MATERIALS.

YOU KNOW, REALLY, THE COLOR
OF THE WATER OF THE POOL

IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE BAY.

SO IT REALLY KIND OF
BRINGS IT ALL TOGETHER.

IT'S GORGEOUS.

LET ME TAKE YOU ON A LITTLE TOUR
OF THE WHOLE PROPERTY.

- GREAT.
- FANTASTIC.

- YAY!
- ALL RIGHT.

I LOVE THIS DECK SPACE,
YOU GUYS.

I MEAN, HAVING A WHOLE NOTHER
SEATING AREA OUT HERE

BUT THAT DOESN'T
BLOCK YOUR VIEW.

THE WAY IT KIND OF HANGS OUT

ALMOST LIKE A DOCK
OVER THE WATER.

THIS IS ACTUALLY THE FIRST TIME.

AND I'VE HAD THIS VISION
IN MY MIND FOR A LONG TIME,

WANTING TO DO AN INFINITY EDGE
SPA ALL THE WAY AROUND,

HAVE IT LOOK
LIKE AN OBELISK OF WATER

THAT'S JUST MAGICALLY
FLOATING THERE.

AND IT'S THE FIRST ONE
WE'VE DONE.

AND IT JUST - -
I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

IT'S SO COOL.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

- THAT'S AWESOME.
- UNBELIEVABLE.

- BEAUTIFUL.
- YEAH.

THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC
WITH THE WOOD.

- THAT'S AMAZING.
- IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

VERY NICE.

SO I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION
FOR YOU, ABUELA MARTHA.

- OKAY.
- YOU SAID IN THE BEGINNING

YOU THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY
TO PUT FIRE BY THE POOL.

YES! YES.

DOES IT MAKE SENSE
NOW THAT IT'S COMPLETE?

- NOW IT MAKES SENSE.
- OKAY.

- I'M VERY PLEASED OF THAT.
- NICE.

THERE'S STILL SO MUCH
MORE TO SEE.

SO KEEP ON FOLLOWING ME.

YOU GUYS READY TO SEE
THE NEXT THING?

ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GO.

THIS IS
THAT MULTIPURPOSE AREA.

I LOVE THIS AREA.

WE PUT IN ALL THESE LITTLE
TOUCHES FOR THE BIRDS.

I HAD THIS REALLY COOL
BOULDER AT MY HOUSE

FOR PROBABLY 5 YEARS.

MANY TIMES, I THOUGHT ABOUT
JUST CUTTING IT OUT OF THERE

BECAUSE,
IN ANY OTHER APPLICATION,

WHY WOULD YOU WANT A STUMP
COMING THROUGH IT, RIGHT?

SOMETHING KIND OF KEPT ME BACK
FROM DOING THAT,

AND SO WHEN WE WERE CREATING
THE BIRD SANCTUARY,

I WAS LIKE, "MY GOD.
THIS ROCK, IT'S A BIRD PERCH."

- I MEAN, IT JUST MADE SENSE.
- PERFECT.

AND THEN WE GOT
ANOTHER BIRD PERCH OVER HERE.

AND JUST SO YOU KNOW,
THIS IS A GIFT FOR YOU GUYS.

WE GAVE YOU THIS,
AS WELL, AND...

THANK YOU.
...LITTLE FEEDING TRAYS

FOR THE LITTLE BIRDS
AND BIG BIRDS.

- AW, THAT'S GREAT!
- AND OF COURSE,

LAST BUT NOT LEAST,

THIS IS A STAGE,
RIGHT, BUDDY?

I LOVE IT.
IT LOOKS GREAT.

YEAH,
I MEAN RIGHT HERE,

YOU GOT A PLACE
FOR MUSICIANS TO PLAY

FOR EVERYBODY
HANGING OUT.

AND OF COURSE,
WHAT STAGE IS COMPLETE

WITHOUT A PLACE FOR GUESTS
TO SIT AND WATCH?

SO ONE-OF-A-KIND BENCHES,
NOBODY ELSE HAS THEM.

THEY'RE CUSTOM-MADE
FOR YOU GUYS.

- AMAZING.
- THAT'S FANTASTIC.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

THERE'S STILL
PLENTY MORE TO SEE.

SO FOLLOW ME, GUYS.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS. WELL, WELCOME
TO YOUR OUTDOOR KITCHEN.

YOU GOT A FRIDGE.
YOU GOT A SINK.

YOU GOT STORAGE, A PELLET GRILL.

THEN YOU'VE GOT
A CONCRETE COUNTERTOP.

AND WHAT'S NICE IS WE GAVE YOU
THE WOOD LOOK

BY STAMPING THE CONCRETE,

BUT THERE'S GONNA BE
NO MAINTENANCE TO IT.

IT'S PERFECT. WE USUALLY COOK
FOR A LOT PEOPLE.

AND, YOU KNOW, BEING ABLE
TO DO IT HERE,

AS OPPOSED TO STUCK
IN THE HOUSE, WITH THAT VIEW...

- YEAH.
- ...IT'S PERFECT.

WELL, YOU GUYS.
THAT'S STILL NOT EVERYTHING.

THERE'S STILL
ONE MORE STOP TO MAKE.

SO ARE YOU READY
TO SEE THE LAST STOP?

- ABSOLUTELY.
- YES!

- ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
- HOW CAN THERE BE MORE?

THE LAST STOP ON OUR TRAIN.

BECAUSE THIS IS
SUCH A SPECIAL AREA,

AN AREA THAT YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE A LOT OF FAMILY MEMORIES

AND QUALITY TIME TOGETHER,
TALKING OVER A MEAL,

YOUR DAUGHTER, BRITNEY, CAME UP
WITH A REALLY GREAT IDEA.

AND SHE HAS A LITTLE SURPRISE
TO SHARE WITH YOU GUYS.

SO I'LL TURN IT OVER TO HER.

SO TOM, GERI, FAMILY,

I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR WELCOMING ME

INTO YOUR HOME
FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS

AND ALL THE SUPPORT,
LOVE, AND CRAZINESS

YOU'VE GIVEN ME.

AND I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU
BACK A LITTLE SOMETHING.

IT'S DEFINITELY
NOT ANYTHING

COMPARED TO
WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR ME,

BUT THANK YOU.

- WOW!
- THAT'S COOL.

- THAT'S AWESOME.
- YOU LIKE IT?

I LOVE IT.

THAT'S ON GLASS.

YEAH,
THAT'S LASERED INTO GLASS.

WHAT?
YEAH.

I CAN SEE THAT.
THAT'S, LIKE...

- THAT'S GREAT.
- THAT IS SUPER COOL.

THAT WAS VERY,
VERY SPECIAL.

I CAN'T.

THAT WAS GREAT.

I THOUGHT IT WAS AWESOME.

WELL, I'VE CAUGHT WIND
YOU GUYS ARE HAVING A PARTY NOW.

- YOU BET.
- YES.

- YES.
- NICE.

YOU'VE GONNA CHRISTEN
YOUR STAGE, TOM?

- ARE YOU GONNA JOIN ME ON IT?
- ABSOLUTELY.

ALL RIGHT.
WELL, IT'S PARTY TIME!

- ABSOLUTELY.
- YEAH, BOYS!

♪♪♪♪

ONE OF THE BEST PARTS
ABOUT ALL THIS

IS THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU FEEL LIKE

YOU'RE DOING THIS
ALL FOR YOURSELF.

AND WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA DO IT
FOR THE BIRDS, AS WELL.

AND I THINK WE'RE
TAKING CARE OF THEM.

THEY'RE GONNA GET
THEIR FRESH WATER.

THEY HAVE A BEAUTIFUL PLACE
TO HANG OUT.

IT REALLY DOES SEEM LIKE

THEY ALREADY KNOW
THAT'S HOME FOR THEM.

THERE IS REALLY
NO COMPARISON

TO WHAT THE POOL WAS BEFORE
TO WHAT IT IS NOW.

THE WAY THAT IT IS
IS AMAZING.

I WAS REALLY SURPRISED

BECAUSE IT'S MORE
THAN I EXPECTED.

SOMEHOW,
IT ALL CAME TOGETHER.

THE TRANSITIONS
ARE BEAUTIFUL.

THE LINES ARE BEAUTIFUL.

I COULDN'T HAVE ASKED
FOR ANYTHING MORE THAN THIS.

I MEAN,
WE'RE NOT EVEN WORTHY

TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD RENT IT OUT
TO A SPA OR SOMETHING,

MAKE MONEY OFF OF IT.

I LOVE THE SPA.
IT'S JUST SO BIG.

AND THE INFINITY EDGE,
IT'S...

I COULDN'T HAVE ASKED
FOR ANYTHING BETTER THERE.

I THOUGHT LUCAS WAS GREAT.

NO MATTER WHAT IS GOING ON,
HE HAS A SMILE ON HIS FACE.

YOU KNOW, HIS ENERGY,
HIS ENTHUSIASM,

IT ALL COMES OUT.

HE IS A MASTER
AT WHAT HE DOES.

HE'S A CREATIVE GENIUS,

HE DID GREAT.
