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!

TODAY, I'M HEADING
TO PINE ISLAND, FLORIDA,



TO MEET JANET AND JERRY RAFFA.

PINE ISLAND IS A SMALL ISLAND
JUST WEST OF FORT MYERS,

TWO HOURS SOUTH
OF WHERE I LIVE IN SARASOTA.

IT'S BEST KNOWN FOR FISHING,

AND A LOT OF PALM TREE GROWERS
HAVE FARMS THERE.

SO, I CAN'T WAIT TO KIND OF
CHECK IT OUT A LITTLE FURTHER,

SEE WHAT THE RAFFAS HAVE FOR ME,
AND JUST WORK IN A NEW PLACE.

Lucas? HEY, YOU JERRY?
YEAH.

HEY, I'M LUCAS.
HI, LUCAS, NICE TO MEET YOU.

YEAH, YOU, TOO.
COME ON IN.

MY NAME IS JERRY RAFFA.

WE'RE HERE IN PINE ISLAND,
FLORIDA.

MY WIFE, JANET,
AND I LIVED IN NEW JERSEY,

AND I AM A BROKER, REALTOR.

MY WIFE AND I COME DOWN HERE,

MAYBE SIX MONTHS
OUT OF THE YEAR,

AND HOPEFULLY I'LL BE ABLE
TO RETIRE DOWN HERE.

HEY, JANET.

GUESS WHO'S HERE?
LUCAS.

HEY, WHAT'S HAPPENING?

I'M JANET RAFFA.
I HAVE FOUR DAUGHTERS,

AND I HAVE FOUR GRANDCHILDREN.

I HAVE THREE GRANDDAUGHTERS
AND ONE GRANDSON.

THEY RANGE FROM THE AGE
OF 13 TO 3.

MY CURRENT POOL IS TOO SMALL.

WHEN ALL OF THE FAMILY COMES,
WE CAN'T FIT IN.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS LOVE TO DO,

WHEN YOU COME DOWN HERE
TO PINE ISLAND?

WELL, UM,
IF I'M NOT OUT FISHING

OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT,
I LOVE BEING IN THE POOL.

I'M PROBABLY IN THE POOL
EVERYDAY.

WE EAT BACK HERE.

WE ACTUALLY
EVEN JUST LIVE BACK HERE.

BREAKFAST, LUNCH, DINNER,
LATE NIGHT,

WE BASICALLY SPEND
ALL OF OUR TIME OUTSIDE.

AND WE ALSO SPEND NIGHTS
OUT HERE.

WOW.

BUT WE JUST HANG OUT
HERE CONSTANTLY.

AND IF THIS POOL WAS GONE,
WHAT WOULD BE, LIKE, YOUR DREAM,

YOUR WISH LIST OF ITEMS
TO HAVE ON YOUR NEW POOL?

UM, I WAS THINKING - -

I HAD A DREAM
ABOUT HAVING A LAZY RIVER.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

A LAZY RIVER?

I'VE BEEN WANTING TO DO
A LAZY RIVER FOR SO LONG.

THAT WOULD BE SO COOL.

I WANTED SOMETHING
REALLY DIFFERENT,

AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
REALLY COOL TO BE, LIKE,

ON A RAFT OR SOMETHING

AND JUST KEEP
ON FLOATING AROUND.

AND THEN FOR THE GRANDKIDS,
YOU KNOW,

JUST, LIKE,
A LOT OF ROCKS.

MY GRANDCHILDREN
LOVE JUMPING OFF THAT SPA,

SO I'D LIKE TO HAVE
SOMETHING

THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY
GET TO AND JUMP.

OKAY.

MAYBE IN THE EVENING,

WE NEED A LITTLE MUSIC
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

NICE.

AND, YEAH, I LOVE TO COOK,
I REALLY DO,

SO OUTSIDE KITCHEN
WOULD BE GREAT.

WITH THE WATERFALLS,
THE LAZY RIVER,

THE OUTDOOR KITCHEN,

ARE WE GONNA HAVE TO

KIND OF FIT ALL THOSE THINGS
IN THIS SPACE

OR CAN WE KIND OF
GO OUT THERE SOME MORE?

ON, NO, WE CAN GO OUT
AS FAR AS YOU WANT,

ALL THE WAY
DOWN TO THOSE PALM TREES.

WELL, MAYBE WE SHOULD KIND OF GO
OUT THERE AND CHECK IT OUT,

SEE HOW MUCH SPACE
WE HAVE TO WORK WITH.

ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO THAT.

YEAH.

WOW, THERE IS A LOT
OF SPACE OVER HERE!

THIS IS GREAT!

IF WE RIPPED THAT CAGE OFF,
TAKE OUT THAT WHOLE POOL,

THAT REALLY KIND OF
OPENS IT UP

TO REALLY KIND OF MORE
THAN DOUBLING THE WHOLE SPACE.

THAT'S PRETTY COOL.

YEAH, THAT WOULD BE
REALLY COOL.

I THINK THE GIRLS WOULD LIKE
IT TO HAVE SOME SPACE OUT HERE,

THAT THEY COULD LIE, YOU KNOW,
DOWN ON LOUNGE CHAIRS.

SO, LIKE
A SUNNING DECK AREA.

YEAH, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
OKAY.

MY ONLY OTHER CONCERN IS,
REALLY, YOU KNOW,

WE HAVE THE SPACE
BACK HERE TO BUILD IT,

THE ONLY PROBLEM IS
I SEE NO ACCESS HERE,

BUT I DO NOTICE, LIKE,
A VACANT LOT THERE.

IS THERE ANYWAY YOU THINK
THAT WE COULD KIND OF USE THAT?

YEAH, WE OWN IT.
REALLY?

THIS JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER
AND BETTER.

WELL, I'M
REALLY EXCITED, GUYS.

I MEAN, I JUST NEED A
LITTLE TIME BACK HERE BY MYSELF

TO KIND OF GATHER
MY IDEAS.

SO, YOU GUYS CAN RELAX.

I'LL COME FIND YOU ONCE I
KIND OF ROUGH OUT A DESIGN IDEA.

GREAT.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO IT.

♪♪♪♪

JANET AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING,
QUITE A LONG TIME TO DO THIS,

AND I'VE WORKED
FOR QUITE A LONG TIME

SO WE CAN AFFORD TO DO THIS,

AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE
WHAT HE COMES UP WITH.

OF COURSE, LAZY RIVER ISLAND
IN THE MIDDLE.

I LOVE BEING OUTSIDE.

SOME NIGHTS
IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL OUT,

WE JUST PULL
BIG LOUNGE CHAIRS UP,

GET SOME PILLOWS AND BLANKETS,

AND WE JUST LAY OUT THERE
TILL THE NEXT DAY.

GETTING A FEELING
FOR THIS SPACE.

COME CHECK THIS OUT.

I'M PRETTY EXCITED
TO SHOW YOU WHAT I CAME UP WITH.

GOING OUT THERE INTO THE YARD
GIVES US A LOT MORE SPACE,

BUT IT'S STILL NOT ENOUGH
TO HAVE THE LAZY RIVER

OFF TO THE SIDE.

WE SHOULD BUILD AN ISLAND
IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR POOL,

SO THE POOL IS THE LAZY RIVER.

WE'LL JUST MAKE ONE SECTION

WHERE THE RIVER'S WIDER,
AND THAT'LL BE THE AREA

THAT YOU CAN JUMP
OFF THE WATERFALLS INTO.

THAT'S A WONDERFUL IDEA.
THAT'S A WONDERFUL IDEA.

I WAS REALLY INSPIRED
BY HOW THIS REALLY FELT

LIKE YOUR OWN PRIVATE OASIS
WITH THE PALMS,

BUT IT FELT LIKE IT NEEDED
MORE MOVEMENT,

SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE
REALLY HIGH WATERFALLS

ON BOTH SIDES,

AND THEN, YOU KNOW,
ELEVATED PLANTERS,

SO LOTS OF FOLIAGE.

THAT WOULD REALLY KIND OF
MAKE IT FEEL VERY NATURAL

AND PRIVATE IN THIS AREA.

THAT'S GREAT.
GREAT. GREAT. COOL.

AND SINCE YOU HAVE A WHOLE
ISLAND THEME GOING,

I WANT TO KIND OF TIE IN
YOUR ISLAND

WITH THE REST OF THE ISLAND
THAT YOU LIVE ON HERE.

SO, I'M THINKING
TO DO AN INFINITY EDGE,

SO IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR LAZY RIVER
IS PART OF THE CANAL,

AND THE REST OF THE ISLAND
HERE IN PINE ISLAND.

I DON'T THINK
I'VE EVER BEEN IN A POOL

THAT WAS
AN INFINITY POOL.

REALLY? WELL,
NOW YOU'LL HAVE YOUR OWN.

NOW I CAN CHECK IT OUT.
YEAH.

THAT'S GREAT.

YOU KNOW, ONE OF
THE OTHER THINGS

THAT I KNOW IS, LIKE,
A HUGE THING FOR YOU GUYS,

IS A PLACE FOR JERRY TO COOK.

SO, I THOUGHT
WHAT IF WE DO, LIKE,

A SUNKEN
OUTDOOR KITCHEN AREA

WHERE EVERYONE CAN STILL
BE HANGING OUT WITH YOU

WHILE YOU'RE COOKING.

ALSO, YOU KNOW,
THIS OUTDOOR KITCHEN

DOUBLES AS A SWIM-UP BAR,
AS WELL.

YEAH, THAT IDEA,
IT'S GREAT.

EVERYBODY HANGS WITH JERRY
IN THE KITCHEN

WHEN HE'S COOKING,
SO THAT'S GONNA BE PERFECT.

RIGHT. THIS IS GONNA BE
SO MUCH FUN TO BUILD,

I MEAN, YOU HAVE YOUR ISLAND,
YOU GOT YOUR INFINITY EDGE,

WE HAVE WATERFALLS, I MEAN,

IS THIS THE TYPE OF DESIGN
YOU'D LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH,

OR IS THERE ANYTHING
THAT I NEED TO CHANGE?

I LOVE IT. I LOVE - -
ALL YOUR IDEAS ARE GREAT.

WE TRUST YOU,
SO IF YOU WANT

TO THROW ANYTHING ELSE
IN THERE...

COOL, I LIKE THAT.

GO FOR IT.
WHATEVER YOU LIKE.

GUYS,
THAT IS AWESOME,

I MEAN, THIS IS GONNA BE
SO MUCH FUN.

YOU KNOW,
YOU CAN HAVE RAFFA ISLAND.

THIS MEETING
WENT INCREDIBLY WELL.

I MEAN, THEY WANT ME TO CREATE
A LAZY RIVER

WITH AN ISLAND
AND ALL THE AMENITIES.

I'M GONNA NEED A BUDGET
OF AROUND $600,000

AND PROBABLY LIKE 16 WEEKS
TO BUILD IT IN.

♪♪♪♪

ALL RIGHT, GUYS,
READY TO START ANOTHER ONE?

- YEAH.
- YEAH.

WE MAY BE BUILDING A LAZY RIVER,

BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN
WE GET TO BE LAZY.

I GOT TO GET MY WHOLE CREW
IN HERE

AND START KNOCKING
THIS BUILD OUT.

DON'T BE FOOLED
BY THE SMALL HOUSE

AND THE SMALL PROPERTY,
THEY HAVE BIG IDEAS.

BOY.

I MEAN,
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS

OF WHAT I COULD POSSIBLY BE
DOING WITH THIS BACKYARD SPACE.

WELL, IF THEY REALLY LIKE MUSIC,
AND THEY LIKE TO ENTERTAIN,

ARE WE DOING, LIKE, A
RETRACTABLE STAGE OVER THE POOL?

THAT'S NOT IT,
BUT IT'S A GOOD IDEA.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, WOMAN?

YOU KNOW, IF THEY LIKE TO HAVE
FAMILY HERE AND ENTERTAIN,

YOU CAN DO A SERIES
OF ELEVATED SPAS.

THAT WOULD BE COOL.
HEY, WHAT DO YOU THINK, CRASH?

WELL, I WAS THINKING,
LIKE, RELAXING, LIKE,

ALMOST LIKE
A RACE CAR TRACK.

RACE CAR DRIVING ISN'T RELAXING.

HEY, THAT'S WHAT I LIKE, MAN,
GETTING AROUND, RACING AROUND - -

IN, LIKE, BUMPER BOATS?
ANY KIND OF RACING'S FINE.

WE'RE BUILDING A POOL,
NOT A RACE TRACK.

THE FUNNY THING IS,
IN A WAY,

THIS POOL DOES RESEMBLE,
A LITTLE BIT, A RACETRACK.

ALL RIGHT.

I MEAN, CRASH,
IT'S NOT A RACETRACK,

IT'S A LAZY RIVER THAT TAKES YOU
AROUND THE WHOLE DESIGN.

WE'VE NEVER DONE A LAZY
RIVER BEFORE.

NO, BUT I LIKE THAT IDEA.

THERE'LL BE A SWIM-UP
BAR RIGHT HERE,

SUNKEN OUTDOOR KITCHEN,

AND THEN OVER HERE,
BASICALLY, THE GROTTO.

AND ON THIS SIDE, GUYS, ISLAND,
BRIDGE, WATERFALLS, I MEAN.

THAT'S GONNA LOOK NICE.

THIS LAZY RIVER IS GOING
TO BE A PRETTY TRICKY LAYOUT.

SO, AFTER WE DEMO THE POOL,

WE GOT TO FILL
IN THE HOLE

SO WE HAVE A NICE LEVEL SURFACE
TO DO OUR LAYOUT ON.

WELL, GUYS,
YOU KNOW MY OLD SAYING,

"IT'S GOT TO GET WORSE
BEFORE IT GETS BETTER."

SO, YOU READY TO START
TEARING IT UP OR WHAT?

YEAH, LET'S TEAR
THIS PLACE UP, WOMAN!

CRASH, OLD MAN,
SUNSHINE!

THAT'S MY GROUP!

ALL RIGHT, IT'S DEMO TIME.

IN ORDER
TO MAKE ENOUGH ROOM

TO GET IN THERE
AND RIP OUT THE POOL,

FIRST WE HAVE TO RELOCATE
ALL THESE PALM TREES.

BY MOVING THESE PALM TREES,

IT'S GONNA OPEN UP A LOT
OF SPACE FOR US TO WORK IN.

BUT ALSO, IT'LL DOUBLE
AS A NATURAL PRIVACY FENCE

FOR THE RAFFAS.

AND NOW, FOR THE BEST PART,
WRECKING BALL!

♪♪♪♪

ONCE IT'S ALL DONE,
WE'LL CLEAN IT UP

AND START FRESH
WITH OUR LAZY RIVER POOL.

♪♪♪♪

I'M EXCITED TODAY,
GUYS, I MEAN,

YOU REALIZE THIS IS GOING
TO BE OUR FIRST LAZY RIVER

WE'VE EVER BUILT?

I'VE DONE A TON
OF NATURAL LAGOON-STYLE POOLS

AND GROTTOS, BUT NEVER HAVE DONE
A LAZY RIVER BEFORE.

THANKFULLY, I HAVE BILLY.

BEFORE HE WORKED WITH US,

HE DID A LOT
OF LARGE, COMMERCIAL POOLS,

INCLUDING LAZY RIVERS,

SO HE'S DEFINITELY GONNA BE
A VALUABLE ASSET TO THIS BUILD.

WITH ALL YOUR EXPERIENCE
BUILDING LAZY RIVERS,

WOULDN'T YOU SAY
THAT THE LAYOUT IS PROBABLY

THE MOST IMPORTANT PART?

FOR SURE, 'CAUSE IF
WE DON'T HAVE IT JUST RIGHT,

THE WATER'S NOT GONNA
FLOW CORRECTLY.

THE PEOPLE ARE JUST
GONNA BE SITTING THERE.

INSTEAD OF FLOATING
AROUND THE RIVER,

THEY'RE JUST GOING
TO BE STUCK IN IT.

SO, YOU GOT THAT,
GUYS, THIS IS CRITICAL.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS, LET'S
BUILD OURSELVES A LAZY RIVER.

MY BACKGROUND
IN SWIMMING POOLS

IS MOSTLY COMMERCIAL
APPLICATIONS.

I MEAN, RESORTS, EXTREME POOLS

THAT, YOU KNOW,
300 PEOPLE CAN BE IN THEM.

THIS IS ACTUALLY MY FIRST
RESIDENTIAL LAZY RIVER.

THE LAYOUT
IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT

BECAUSE IF IT'S NOT DONE
PROPERLY, YOU'RE GOING

TO HAVE SPOTS WHERE THE WATER
DOESN'T FLOW AROUND THE CORNERS.

IT'S GOING
TO TURN INTO SOME SORT

OF EDDY WHERE PEOPLE GET STUCK,

OR THEY DON'T MAKE IT
ALL THE WAY AROUND

TO THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE RIVER.

AND IT'S ALL DONE
BY A WATER PROPULSION SYSTEM

THAT PUTS EVERYTHING
IN A COUNTERCLOCKWISE MOTION.

- IT'S DIG TIME!
- SWEET.

SOMETIMES, I HAVE
TO CHANGE MY ORIGINAL IDEA.

HOWEVER, WITH THE LAZY RIVER,

EVERYTHING'S BEEN
DESIGNED, ENGINEERED.

THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE CASES

WHERE I CAN JUST HAVE FUN
TWEAKING THINGS ON THE LAYOUT.

I HAVE TO FOLLOW THE PLAN
EXACTLY.

AND JERRY,
THERE'S YOUR ISLAND.

WELL, IT REALLY DOESN'T SEEM
LIKE IT'S BIG ENOUGH.

♪♪♪♪

TODAY,
I'M MEETING WITH JERRY RAFFA

AT HIS PINE ISLAND HOME.

WE HAVE THE WHOLE POOL
LAID OUT AND DUG,

BUT THERE'S REALLY
NO STEEL IN IT YET.

NORMALLY, I'D HAVE
THE STEEL IN FIRST,

BUT BECAUSE EVERYTHING
HAS TO BE SO PRECISE HERE,

I REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE
HE LIKES THE LAYOUT,

BECAUSE ONCE WE GET
ALL THAT STEEL IN THERE,

IT'S GONNA BE REALLY HARD
TO CHANGE THINGS.

WELL, JERRY,
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU MAKING

THE LONG TRIP FROM NEW JERSEY
JUST TO MEET WITH ME,

AND I KNOW MY TIME
WITH YOU IS LIMITED,

SO WE ARE HAVING
SOME ISSUES

WITH JUST
HAVING ENOUGH SPACE

FOR ALL THE FEATURES
THAT YOU WANT.

SO, IF THERE'S
ANY CHANGES,

IF WE NEED ANYMORE SPACE
ONE PLACE,

WE GOT TO TAKE IT
FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE.

OKAY.
SO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS

YOUR SUNKEN
OUTDOOR KITCHEN AREA.

YOUR SWIM-UP BAR.
GREAT.

AND OF COURSE, YOU CAN SEE
WHERE THE DEEP END IS - -

WE GOT A HUGE HOLE 8-FOOT DEEP
RIGHT THERE.

YEAH, THAT'S GREAT.

COOL.
PERFECT.

AND JERRY,
THERE'S YOUR ISLAND.

WELL, RIGHT NOW, IT REALLY
DOESN'T SEEM

LIKE IT'S BIG ENOUGH.

WE HAVE FOUR DAUGHTERS,

AND THEY LOVE
TO STAY OUT IN THE SUN,

AND I REALLY JUST
WANT THE ISLAND

TO BE BIG ENOUGH
FOR ALL THE GIRLS.

IF WE COULD MAKE IT BIGGER,
THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

I CAN'T REALLY
GO THAT DIRECTION,

BECAUSE THE LAZY RIVER'S

ALREADY KIND OF
CHOKED DOWN TO 6 FOOT.

OKAY.

HERE WE HAVE
A LITTLE BIT OF WIGGLE ROOM,

BUT NOT MUCH BECAUSE YOU HAVE
YOUR SWIM-UP BAR,

AND WE NEED ENOUGH ROOM FOR
PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO FLOAT BY.

YEAH, I REALLY,
YOU KNOW - -

WE REALLY HAVE TO
DO SOMETHING HERE,

'CAUSE IT'S REALLY,
REALLY IMPORTANT.

I WANT JERRY TO BE HAPPY.

HE WANTS HIS GIRLS TO BE HAPPY.

I'M GONNA
FIGURE IT OUT FOR HIM.

WE'RE GONNA
PULL SOME MEASUREMENTS,

SEE WHERE WE CAN LOSE
A LITTLE SPACE IN THE POOL

TO GAIN SOME SPACE
IN THAT ISLAND.

LOOKING AT THIS,

YOU SEE HOW THE BRIDGE
IS KIND OF RIGHT HERE?

RIGHT.

WHAT IF WE MOVE THE BRIDGE
OVER FOUR FEET,

NOW THE BRIDGE WILL BE
OUT OF THE WAY.

TUCKED UP IN THE WATERFALLS,
IT'LL LOOK SUPER COOL.

GREAT IDEA.

SO, YOU'RE OKAY WITH KIND OF
MOVING THE BRIDGE

DOWN A LITTLE BIT FURTHER

AND LOSING A LITTLE BIT
MORE PLANTER?

YES. YEAH,
THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

AFTER LUCAS SHOWED ME
WHAT HE'S GONNA DO

AND SHOWED ME
THE OVERALL LAYOUT,

MY MAIN CONCERN RIGHT NOW,

IS WHEN HE'S GONNA
GET IT FINISHED,

'CAUSE I REALLY CAN'T WAIT.

SO, YOU'RE GOOD
WITH EVERYTHING ELSE?

I HAVE YOUR SEAL OF APPROVAL
TO KEEP GOING FORWARD?

YEAH. GREAT.
THANK YOU.

AWESOME.
THANKS, JERRY.

IT'S TIME FOR REBAR,
HOMBRE.

SO, WE HAVE
ABOUT 220 YARDS OF GUNITE

GOING INTO THE RAFFA POOL.

THE AVERAGE FLORIDA POOL
ONLY TAKES ABOUT 40.

YOU CAN'T HAVE A LAZY RIVER
WITHOUT HUGE PIPE.

A RESIDENTIAL SWIMMING POOL
USUALLY HAS AN AVERAGE

OF 2 INCHES WIDE,
MAYBE 3 INCH AT THE MAX.

THIS THING NEEDED 12-INCH,
DOUBLE SUCTION LINES

INTO A 12-INCH "T" THAT WENT
INTO A 12-INCH RETURN LINE,

JUST TO PUSH THE WATER
AROUND THIS.

EVERYBODY WARNED ME ABOUT LUCAS
WHEN I CAME ON BOARD.

EVERYTHING'S GOT TO BE BIGGER
AND BETTER

AND MORE EXTREME
THAN THE LAST THING.

MY CREW CAN FINISH
THIS POOL SHELL.

I WANT TO TAKE WOMAN UP
TO TENNESSEE,

HAND-SELECT ALL HER STONES

SO WE'RE READY WHEN IT'S TIME
TO DO THE ROCK WORK.

WELL, WOMAN, YOU READY?
OUR CHARIOT AWAITS.

WE'RE GONNA GO PICK OUT ROCKS
FOR THE RAFFA JOB.

YES, I AM,
AND YOU CAN DRIVE.

ALL RIGHT.
DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME TWICE.

♪♪♪♪

WHOA!

HIT THAT PUDDLE!

WHOO-HOO!

I LOVE TENNESSEE.

IT'S A LOT OF FUN,
A LOT OF NATURE.

IT'S JUST A GREAT PLACE
TO GET INSPIRED

AND SELECT
ALL MY NATURAL STONES.

CHECK OUT
SOME RIVER ROCKS.

OTHER THAN
THE FLORIDA LIMESTONE,

THE TENNESSEE ROCK IS REALLY

THE CLOSEST SOURCE OF STONE
TO FLORIDA.

YOU KNOW,
FOR THE RAFFA PROJECT,

WE REALLY WANT TO CREATE
AN AWESOME LAZY RIVER

THAT LOOKS
LIKE A NATURAL RIVER.

THIS IS THE KIND OF STUFF
I REALLY WANT TO FIND.

THESE ROCKS WITH, LIKE,
NATURAL CHANNELS IN THEM.

THAT'S WHAT I MEAN.

IF IT WAS LIKE THIS
IN THE WATERFALL,

THE WATER HIT IT,
AND RAN DOWN IT.

THAT'S NICE.

LOOK AT THIS ROCK
RIGHT HERE.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THAT ROCK
IS HOW, LIKE, THE WATER HITS IT,

BUT IT DOESN'T QUITE
MAKE IT OVER,

AND KIND OF TURNS BACK.

VERY COOL.

THE ISSUE WITH RAFFA'S

IS THAT THERE'S NOT
A LOT OF SPACE,

SO I ALMOST HAVE TO HAVE,
LIKE, WATERWALLS,

BUT IT'S NOT GOING
TO LOOK LIKE A RIVER.

SO, WHAT IF WE TOOK,
LIKE, A NARROW SECTION.

INSTEAD OF THE WATER
FALLING THIS WAY,

WE CAN SOMEHOW
LET IT MEANDER

AND KIND OF TRAVEL LONG WAYS
AGAINST THAT WALL.

SO IT KIND
OF LOOKS LIKE THE STREAM

WHERE IT'S HITTING
DIFFERENT LEVELS OF ROCK.

I LIKE IT. I MEAN, THIS
IS GOOD INSPIRATION RIGHT HERE,

THIS LITTLE
MOUNTAIN STREAM.

IT'S KIND OF EASY,
BEING IN FLORIDA,

TO FORGET WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO BE IN THE WOODS

AND A MOUNTAIN STREAM,

SO IT'S REALLY NICE
TO GET BACK UP IN THE HILLS,

WHERE OUR INSPIRATION
FIRST STARTED.

WELL, THAT'S HOW
YOU GOT YOUR BEGINNINGS,

HIKING IN THE WOODS IN VERMONT
WITH YOUR MOTHER.

WELL, HERE WE ARE
IN TENNESSEE.

STILL DOING IT.

♪♪♪♪

I'M BACK IN FLORIDA,
AND I BROUGHT MY ROCKS.

COME ON, GUYS.
IT'S A VERY EXCITING DAY.

THIS IS OUR FIRST DAY
OF ROCK WORK

ON THIS MASSIVE POOL SHELL.

THAT'S A LOT
OF ROCK WORK.

YEAH, YOU THINK
THERE'S A LOT OF ROCK WORK,

THERE'S A LOT OF MORTAR

THAT'S GONNA
BIND IT ALL TOGETHER.

AND THAT WOULD BE LIKE 30 YARDS
OF MUD TO MIX BY HAND.

WHO KNEW THAT LAZY RIVERS
WERE GONNA BE THAT MUCH WORK.

WELL, I SEE A WHOLE LOT OF WORK
THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE HERE,

BUT I DON'T REALLY
SEE ANY HELPERS.

OLD MAN'S ON HIS WAY.

WOMAN'S NOT FEELING WELL,
SO SHE'S GOT TO REST UP,

BUT WE CAN HAMMER THIS OUT.
WE GOT IT.

SUDDENLY,
I DON'T FEEL SO GOOD EITHER.

♪♪♪♪

HEY, LOOK AT THE SIZE
OF THIS THING.

LOOK AT THE BUCKET
ON THAT THING.

WE HAD TO GET
AN ADDITIONAL EXCAVATOR

WITH A LONGER REACH,
DUE TO THE FACT

THAT THE EXCAVATOR
HAS TO REACH

AT LEAST 100 FEET
TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE POOL.

GO GET
THAT MUD READY.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, MAN, IT'S OFFICIAL.
OUR FIRST ROCK!

IT'S FUNNY - -
EVEN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS,

IT'S ALWAYS NERVE-RACKING
TO SET THE FIRST ROCK,

BECAUSE IT REALLY SETS THE TONE
FOR THE WHOLE BUILD,

AND EVERYTHING'S
GOT TO FOLLOW IT.

ALL RIGHT, CRASH,
STRAIGHT OUT!

WHAT?

GO LEFT A LITTLE.

LITTLE MORE.
OKAY.

DO I NEED
TO GO OUT FURTHER?!

ALL RIGHT, DOWN!

I CAN'T HEAR
A WORD HE SAYS.

WELL, LUCAS, HE'S ON
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SITE.

I CAN'T HEAR HIM.

I GOT A WALL I CAN'T SEE OVER.

I MEAN,
THIS IS A WHOLE LOT OF FUN.

I'M **** 40 FEET AWAY.
I CAN'T HEAR ****

ALL RIGHT,
PICK IT UP!

COME DOWN A LITTLE BIT.

COME ON. WHICH ****
WAY YOU WANT?

CRASH, COME ON.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?

♪♪♪♪

OKAY, UP A LITTLE!

WE'RE HERE ON PINE ISLAND

BUILDING OUR FIRST-EVER
LAZY RIVER.

WE'RE TRYING
TO SET OUR FIRST ROCK,

BUT CRASH AND I CAN'T EVEN
HEAR EACH OTHER.

GO DOWN A LITTLE BIT.

WHAT DID HE SAY?

ALL RIGHT, PICK IT UP!

COME ON. WHICH ****
WAY YOU WANT?

WE'RE TRYING
TO BRING IT IN TO YOU!

THIS IS NOT GOING FAST!

ALL RIGHT, DOWN.

WHOA, ALL RIGHT,
GOOD, PERFECT.

AWESOME, CRASH.

ONE DOWN,
ABOUT A THOUSAND MORE TO GO.

♪♪♪♪

HOW'S IT GOING, CRASH?

HOW'S IT GOING?
WHOA.

GOT TO GET UP HERE,
THIS THING'S HUGE.

YES.

ALL RIGHT, CRASH,
HERE'S THE GAME PLAN FOR TODAY.

WE GOT A REALLY GOOD START
ON THAT FAR WATERFALL.

I MEAN, WE'RE BASICALLY READY
FOR PLUMBING ALREADY.

FOR TODAY, LET'S GET
ALL OUR BASE SET FOR THE GROTTO,

AND KIND OF START
FROM THAT FAR END

WITH THE BIGGEST ROCKS
WHERE THE GROTTO IS

AND KIND OF WORK OUR WAY
THIS WAY.

WELL, I'LL GIVE YOU
THE HAND SIGNAL,

AND WE'LL GET GOING.

ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT.

LET'S SET SOME ROCKS!

♪♪♪♪

DAY TWO - - ROCK ORDER.

WE'RE STARTING TO FINALLY
GET THE HANG OF THINGS HERE.

YEAH.
IT'S GOT SOME CHARACTER.

I KIND OF HAVE A SIGNATURE
TO MY VENEERING.

YOU'LL SEE ON MY VENEER WALLS

THAT I HAVE SOME SMALLER STONES
IN BETWEEN TWO BIG ROCKS - -

MORE LIKE IT BELONGS
IN NATURE - -

LIKE NATURE CREATED IT.

BRING IT DOWN A LITTLE BIT!

IT'S LOOKING GOOD.

I FINALLY HAVE A PRETTY GOOD
START GOING WITH THE ROCK WORK,

SO I'M GONNA START
WORKING ON THE LITTLE SURPRISE.

THE RAFFAS HAD THIS VACANT LOT
NEXT DOOR TO THEM.

THIS LOT
GIVES ME THE OPPORTUNITY

TO DO SOMETHING REALLY FUN

AND GIVE THEM A WHOLE NOTHER
OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING ROOM.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO HAVE US DO OUT HERE?

THE RAFFAS HAVE BEEN SO COOL
TO WORK WITH,

I WANT TO DO
A SURPRISE FOR THEM.

THEY WANT KIND
OF THIS WHOLE NATURAL KIND OF

BEACH-RESORT FEELING,
BUT THERE'S NO BEACH.

THEY HAVE NO AREA.

WELL, THEY GOT THIS VACANT LOT
RIGHT HERE.

WE CAN TURN THIS INTO, LIKE,
AN OUTDOOR BEACH AREA.

I'M STARTING
TO GET A HEADACHE.

THAT WALL WE'VE BEEN SWINGING
ALL THE ROCK OVER?

LET'S ROCK THE WHOLE WALL - -

THAT'LL BE
A BEAUTIFUL BACKDROP - -

MAKE IT A FEATURE,

AND THIS WHOLE AREA
WILL BE LANDSCAPING,

PUT SAND IN THE MIDDLE
OF IT, FURNITURE,

AND IT'S GONNA BE A KILLER
BONUS FEATURE FOR THESE GUYS.

WELL, LUCAS, HE WANTS TO GIVE
THE RAFFAS A SPECIAL GIFT.

MAKING A BEACH IS EASY TO SAY,

BUT THERE'S A LOT OF WORK
THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW IF ME
AND THE REST OF THE TEAM

HAVE TIME
TO DO ALL THE STONE WORK

AND YOUR LITTLE PROJECT.
YEAH.

WELL, I'LL TAKE IT
UPON MYSELF

TO CREATE ALL THE LANDSCAPING,
THEN I NEED YOU GUYS,

WHEN YOU'VE DONE
ALL THE ROCK WORK,

HELP ME LAY OUT
FILTER FABRIC EVERYWHERE,

THEN YOU JUST HAVE TO HELP ME
BUILD ROCK RETAINING WALLS.

ALL RIGHT.

I'M GONNA FALL OVER
AFTER THIS ONE.

COME ON, LET'S GO DO
SOME STONEWORK.

♪♪♪♪

I ALWAYS LOVE TO GO THE EXTRA
MILE TO MAKE MY CLIENTS HAPPY.

I HOPE THIS BEACH SURPRISE
REALLY BLOWS THEM AWAY.

WHILE LUCAS IS DIGGING
OUT THE BEACH AREA...

...CRASH AND I GET STARTED
ON ROCKWORK.

LUCAS WANTED
IT ALL COVERED IN STONE

SO IT LOOKS NATURAL
IN ITS SURROUNDINGS.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS,
COME CHECK THIS OUT.

GOT THE BERMS BUILT.
DUG IT ALL OUT.

I GOT THIS FILTER FABRIC

SO THAT WAY
NO WEEDS CAN COME THROUGH.

IT'LL ALSO
HELP RETAIN ALL THE BANKS.

SO, WE'RE GOING
TO LAY THIS ALL OUT,

THEN WE'RE GONNA BUILD
OUR STONE RETAINING WALLS

OVER THE TOP OF IT,

AND THEN PUT OUR BEACH SAND
OVER TOP OF THE BOTTOM.

THEN WE CAN SET
ALL OUR FURNITURE IN THERE.

IT'S GONNA BE
BEAUTIFUL, MAN.

♪♪♪♪

CRAWL DOWN ON IT,
OLD MAN.

LIKE THIS?

THESE GUYS OUGHT TO TRY THAT - -
ROLL DOWN THIS HILL.

IT WAS FUN.
ROLL DOWN THE MOUNTAIN?

YEAH, LET'S HAVE
A CONTEST.

WHO ROLLS THE FURTHEST?
YEAH.

WELL, YOU
GET TO GO FIRST.

ALL RIGHT, HERE I GO.

ALL RIGHT, GO.

WHOA!

HEY, HOW
DID I GO UP HILL?

ALL RIGHT, GO.

GEEZ.

HE WENT UP
AND OVER.

YEAH, BABY.

HOW AM I GONNA
BEAT THAT?

DON'T BE SCARED.

ALL RIGHT,
HERE GOES NOTHING.

AAH!

MAN,
I DIDN'T GO VERY FAR.

THESE GUYS'LL DO ANYTHING
IF YOU MAKE IT A COMPETITION.

ALL RIGHT, WE GOT ONE MORE
OF THESE ROLLS TO ROLL OUT,

SO LET'S DO
THIS ONE MORE TIME.

ALL RIGHT.

SO, LUCAS DOESN'T WANT
TO SEE ANYTHING

THAT'S NOT NATURAL-LOOKING.

THE HELL YOU GUYS
DOING OVER THERE?!

I SEE YOUR FEET
IN THE AIR.

I'M STUCK UPSIDE DOWN!

♪♪♪♪

WE'RE IN PINE ISLAND,
FLORIDA, AT THE RAFFA-BUILD.

EVERY POOL STARTS OUT
WITH A DESIGN,

BUT AS I'M BUILDING IT,
I ALWAYS GET DIFFERENT IDEAS.

AND I HAVE A PRETTY
SIGNIFICANT DESIGN CHANGE

I'D LIKE TO MAKE TO THIS POOL.

I WANT TO RUN IT BY JERRY
AND SEE WHAT HE THINKS.

YEAH, JERRY,
I'M GLAD YOU'RE HOME.

I DO KIND OF HAVE SOME CHANGES
THAT I WANT TO MAKE.

A DESIGN CHANGE?
YEAH, MAN.

W- WELL,
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WELL, AS I'M STARTING
TO USE THE SPACE,

I'M GOING IN
AND OUT OF THE POOL.

AND I'M PICTURING YOU
WALKING DOWN THERE,

WALKING BACK UP,
GOING INTO THE KITCHEN

TO GET STUFF,
BACK UP THE STEPS

TO SERVE PEOPLE UP HERE,
PEOPLE ON THE ISLAND.

IT SEEMS, LIKE,
REALLY INCONVENIENT.

I THINK IT WOULD BE
A BETTER USE OF SPACE

TO HAVE THAT BE
AN OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE.

YOU KNOW,
MAYBE PUT IN SOME FURNITURE,

MAYBE A TV ON THE WALL.

I JUST THINK IT'S GOING TO BE
A REALLY GOOD USE OF SPACE.

THE KITCHEN IS REALLY,
REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME.

I COOK EVERYDAY FOR THE FAMILY,

SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME

THAT THESE CHANGES
ARE GOOD CHANGES.

I DON'T KNOW.

I MEAN,
YOU'RE GONNA TAKE MY KITCHEN,

AND WHERE ARE YOU GOING
TO PUT MY KITCHEN?

WELL, REALLY,
ALL YOUR COOKING,

I THINK SHOULD BE
DONE RIGHT HERE.

I MEAN,
YOUR INSIDE KITCHEN

IS JUST RIGHT IN THERE,
SO YOU'RE COMING OUT HERE,

WOULDN'T IT BE SO MUCH EASIER
TO JUST COOK RIGHT UP HERE.

UM...

MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, COMING HERE IS CLOSER
TO THE KITCHEN.

YOU KNOW, NOT GOING UP
AND DOWN THE STAIRS THAT MUCH.

I THINK
YOU MIGHT HAVE A GOOD IDEA.

LET'S DO IT.
ALL RIGHT, SWEET.

I'M SO GLAD THAT JERRY IS
ONBOARD WITH MY KITCHEN-CHANGE.

HE'S GONNA BE REALLY HAPPY
WHEN IT'S ALL DONE.

HE'S SITTING DOWN THERE
WITH THAT EXTRA SPACE.

YOU GOT MY BLESSING.

NICE, AWESOME, JERRY.
THANKS A LOT.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT, SEE YA.

♪♪♪♪

TODAY, WE MOVE ON TO
VENEERING OVER THE UGLY PANEL WALLS.

I'M PUTTING ON
SOME STONE VENEERING

WHILE WE HAVE OTHER GUYS
PUTTING ON THE BLUE TILE

AT THE INFINITY EDGE.

WELL, THERE'S ROCK
AND TILE ALL OVER THIS THING.

AND LUCAS HAS EVEN MORE
ROCKS ARRIVING TODAY.

MY BABIES ARE HERE!

NOW THAT I'VE GOT
ALL THE EXCAVATING DONE

FOR A BEACH AREA,

WE CAN START SETTING
ALL OUR BIG BOULDERS.

I LIKE THIS SIDE OUT.
JUST PUT IT RIGHT HERE.

BACK FILLING THEM WITH GRAVEL,

THEN WE CAN JUST KIND OF
STACK EVERYTHING UP.

ONCE THIS BEACH IS DONE,

EVERYTHING IS GONNA LOOK
SO INVITING.

ALL RIGHT, BILLY,
THIS WHERE YOU'VE BEEN HIDING

MY BIG-ASS MOTOR
FOR THE LAZY RIVER?

YEP, THIS IS IT.

MAN, I KNOW IT'S
A 10-HORSEPOWER MOTOR I ORDERED,

BUT DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY
GALLONS PER MINUTE IT PUTS OUT?

2,400 GALLONS PER MINUTE.

THAT'S GONNA PUSH US
AROUND THAT LAZY RIVER QUICK.

IT SHOULD.

THINK WE'RE GOING
TO NEED CRASH

TO HELP US LIFT IT
WITH THE EXCAVATOR.

THAT'S PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA.
LET'S GET HIM.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO GET HIM.

THIS IS SO EXCITING.

THAT POOL'S ABOUT TO TURN
INTO A RAGING RIVER.

YEAH, YOU'RE GOOD.

ALL RIGHT,
I'M BACKING UP A LITTLE BIT.

WAIT, HOLD ON, MAN.

AW, IT'S SLIPPING.

THIS THING'S
LIKE $12,000, MAN,

I DON'T WANT TO GET IT
8 FEET UP IN THE AIR

AND HAVE IT
FALL AND BREAK.

SET IT DOWN SLOW.

SO, WHEN WE FIRST STRAPPED
THE MOTOR UP,

WE COULDN'T QUITE GET THE MOTOR
TO BALANCE TO LIFT

STRAIGHT UP INTO THE AIR.

WHAT IF YOU WRAP THAT AROUND IT,
THAT ONE - -

IT WRAPPED IN A CIRCLE
ALL THE WAY AROUND IT

AND HELD IT
IN THE MIDDLE?

THIS IS ABOUT AS EXCITING
AS WATCHING GRASS GROW.

MY LEGS ARE COOKING.

YOU GUYS EVEN KNOW
HOW TO TIE A SHOE?

DEFINITELY NOT
TWO BOY SCOUTS OVER THERE.

ALL RIGHT,
WE'RE GOING UP.

HEY, WE'RE COOKING
WITH GREASE NOW.

SO, LUCAS DOESN'T WANT
TO SEE ANYTHING

THAT'S NOT NATURAL-LOOKING,

SO WE HAD TO HIDE THIS MOTOR
INSIDE OF A PLANTER.

HOLD ON!

MAKE IT TO WHERE NOBODY
COULD SEE IT

OR HEAR IT
OR EVEN KNOW IT WAS THERE.

WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING?

TRYING TO SEE.

WHAT THE HELL
YOU GUYS DOING OVER THERE?

I SEE YOUR FEET
IN THE AIR.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

NO, DON'T FALL ON THE MOTOR!
DON'T FALL ON THE MOTOR!

I'M TRYING TO - -
MAN, THIS IS NOT GOOD.

I'M STUCK UPSIDE DOWN.

I SHOULD HAVE HIRED
A CONTORTIONIST

TO GET IN THERE AND DO THIS.

NOW, TO MAKE THINGS EVEN WORSE,
THERE'S BOLTS ON THE UNDERSIDE.

SO, I CAN'T SEEM TO GET
THE HOLES FROM THE MOTOR

TO LINE UP
WITH THE SHAFT.

I CAN'T SEE TO LINE IT UP.

I'M GONNA GET IT STARTED,
AND THEN YOU KIND OF - -

I GOT ONE STARTED
OVER HERE.

YOU DID?

YEAH, IF YOU CAN GET
THE WRENCH OVER HERE.

THERE'S NO ROOM IN HERE
IS THE PROBLEM.

OKAY.
YOU FINALLY DONE, YET?

THAT'S THE LAST ONE.

I THOUGHT THIS MOTOR
INSTALLATION

WAS GONNA BE
A SIMPLE PROCESS,

BUT GUESS I WAS WRONG.

THANK YOU.

WE STILL GOT
TO PUT THESE ON.

HEY, POOL FANS, TIME
FOR ANOTHER INSANE QUESTION.

HEY, LUCAS, HOW DO YOU PICK OUT
THE PERFECT ROCKS FOR A JOB?

I MEAN, LOOK AT IT.

IT'S LIKE A PIECE
OF SWISS CHEESE.

WELL STAY TUNED
TO FIND OUT MY ANSWER.

BEFORE THE BREAK
I WAS ASKED THE QUESTION,

"HOW DO YOU FIND
THE PERFECT ROCKS FOR A JOB?"

I'M LOOKING FOR ROCKS
WITH CHANNELS

AND MOSS AND LICHEN.

THEN I TRY TO LISTEN
TO THE ROCKS.

TALK TO ME.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE,
SILLY LITTLE ROCK?

PEOPLE MAY THINK
I'M A LITTLE NUTS

BECAUSE I TALK TO ROCKS.

REALLY SEE SOME WATER
HITTING YOU ON THE WAY DOWN,

WORKING THROUGH YOUR CHANNELS.

BUT YOU GOT TO BE A LITTLE CRAZY
TO WORK WITH ROCKS ALL DAY.

♪♪♪♪

I'M HERE PINE ISLAND,
WORKING ON THE RAFFA PROJECT.

IT'S GOT EVERYTHING
FROM THEIR OWN PRIVATE ISLAND,

A LAZY RIVER,
AND THEIR OWN BEACH.

AND RIGHT NOW,
THIS JOB IS JUST UTTER CHAOS.

I MEAN, WE'RE DOING TRAVERTINE

AT THE SAME TIME AS ROCK WORK
AND LANDSCAPING.

BUT FOR THE RAFFAS' ISLAND,

I WANT TO USE
AN ARTIFICIAL TURF.

I DON'T WANT
TO HAVE ANY MAINTENANCE.

WHO'S GONNA CARRY A LAWNMOWER
ACROSS THE BRIDGE

AND THEN CUT THE GRASS
AND GET IT INTO THE POOL?

WE GOT A FEW WOOD PROJECTS
ON THIS JOB, HERE.

BUT ME AND OLD MAN,
WE'RE TIED UP DOING STONEWORK,

SO WE'RE CALLING IN OUR FRIEND
ROSS TO HELP US OUT.

HEY, ROSS.

HEY, CRASH,
HOW ARE YOU, SIR?

DOING PRETTY GOOD.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.

SO, WHAT HAVE WE GOT
GOING ON TODAY?

WELL, BELIEVE IT OR NOT,

WE HAVE AN ISLAND
IN THE CENTER OF OUR POOL,

AND WE NEED A BRIDGE.

WELL, WE HAVE AN AREA
WHERE WE CUT OUT FOR YOU,

SO ALL YOU GOT TO DO
IS BUILD A BRIDGE TO OUR ISLAND

SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET
TO THE ISLAND, HANG OUT.

OKAY.

DID HE TELL YOU
WHAT KIND OF WOOD

HE MIGHT HAVE
WANTED FOR THIS JOB?

WE'RE DOING AN IPE,
THAT BRAZILIAN WALNUT - -

EXTREMELY DURABLE,

IT'S MOLD RESISTANT,

IT'S GONNA HANDLE THE WEATHER
DOWN HERE, PERFECTLY.

SO, I'VE GOT A BUNCH
OF IT READY TO GO.

I'M READY TO GET STARTED.

WELL, I'LL LEAVE YOU BE.

IF YOU NEED ANYTHING,
GIVE ME A HOLLER.

SOUNDS GOOD. I'M GONNA
GO TAKE SOME MEASUREMENTS

AND GET THIS GOING.
ALL RIGHT.

THANKS, CRASH.
YEP.

WORKING WITH LUCAS,

YOU CAN ALWAYS GUARANTEE
NO TWO PROJECTS

WILL EVER BE EXACTLY THE SAME.

ONE OF MY BIGGEST
CHALLENGES

IS DEFINITELY GOING
TO BE THE BRIDGE.

WE'VE GOT A HIGHER ELEVATION
ON THE WATERFALL SIDE.

WE'VE GOT TO INCORPORATE
SOME STAIRS ON THE OTHER SIDE.

GETTING IT PERFECTLY LEVEL,
GETTING IT SECURE AND STRONG

IS PROBABLY GONNA BE ONE OF
MY BIGGEST CHALLENGES.

WE'RE READY TO INSTALL
THE POOL CAGE ON THIS BUILD.

I DESIGNED THIS ENTIRE PROJECT
AROUND THE VIEW.

LUCKILY, I MET THIS GUY, TOM.

HE HAS A COOL WAY OF BUILDING

THESE HUGE PANORAMIC WINDOWS
ON THE CAGE.

ONCE THIS CAGE IS ALL IN,

IT'S ALMOST GONNA FEEL LIKE
THIS HUGE, OUTDOOR GARDEN ROOM

WITH A BEAUTIFUL
PANORAMIC WINDOW OF THAT CANAL.

SUNSHINE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING,
FRANKIE D.?

ALWAYS A PLEASURE.

WHAT'S GOING ON OVER HERE?

WE GOT A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON
IN THIS BUILD.

WE GOT A LAZY RIVER
GOING ON.

I LIKE THAT.

THEN WE HAVE
OUTDOOR KITCHEN,

SUNKEN LIVING ROOM,
DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO, WE NEED YOUR LITTLE
SPECIAL TOUCH.

I'M THINKING
MAYBE WE COULD PUT

SOME UNDERWATER SPEAKERS
IN THERE.

WE NEVER DID ANYTHING
LIKE THAT.

UNDERWATER SPEAKERS
SOUND PRETTY COOL.

YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY,
IT'S GOT TO SOUND GOOD,

CAN'T BE MUFFLED
OR ANYTHING, RIGHT?

SOUND QUALITY
ON THESE THINGS ARE AMAZING.

YOU'LL BE UNDER THERE,
YOU'LL HEAR THEM SO GOOD,

YOU'D THINK
YOU'RE A DOLPHIN.

A DOLPHIN?
A DOLPHIN!

THE KEY DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN A REGULAR SPEAKER

AND AN UNDERWATER SPEAKER

IS THAT AN UNDERWATER SPEAKER
IS DESIGNED TO BE UNDERWATER.

IT IS WATER TIGHT TO MAKE SURE
NOTHING GETS SHORTED OUT

AND SWIMMERS
DON'T GET ELECTROCUTED.

THE TRANSDUCERS,
THEY GO IN THOSE LIGHT NICHES

THAT WE HAVE
PUT IN THE POOL.

SO, UNDERWATER SPEAKERS

ARE GENERALLY SOMETHING PEOPLE
SEE IN RESORTS AND HOTELS.

BUT TO SEE THEM
IN A RESIDENTIAL POOL

IS KIND OF JUST AS CRAZY
AS A LAZY RIVER.

YOU IN?
WE'RE IN.

SWEET.

♪♪♪♪

SO, I'M IN CHARGE
OF SUPERVISING THE BUILD

ON THE OUTDOOR KITCHEN.

WE HAVE TO MAKE
THIS OUTDOOR KITCHEN LOOK

AS NATURAL AS THE REST
OF THE POOL.

SO, WHAT I'M GONNA DO
IS USE THE SAME IPE WOOD

THAT ROSS USED ON THE BRIDGE
TO COVER THE CABINETS.

BY THE TIME I'M FINISHED,

THIS KITCHEN'S GONNA
BE BEAUTIFUL.

THERE'S A LOT GOING ON
HERE TO FINISH UP THIS POOL.

WE HAVE SOME LAST MINUTE
LANDSCAPING ADDITIONS.

PERFECT.

WE HAVE TO COMPLETE THE BEACH
AND, YOU KNOW,

IT'S NOT A BEACH
WITHOUT THE SAND.

AND WE'RE GETTING EVERYTHING
CLEANED UP

BECAUSE THE FURNITURE'S
GONNA BE HERE ANY SECOND NOW.

ALL RIGHT,
LET'S CLEAN THIS UP.

WHOA, WHOA!
NOT THE TV AND THE SOUND BAR.

IT'S WATERPROOF, MAN.

I FORGOT THAT.

SO, IT CAN RAIN OUT HERE,
KIDS CAN SPLASH IT IN THE POOL,

YOU CAN EVEN HOSE IT DOWN.
AND LOOK, LOOK AT IT GO.

COME ON,
LET'S CLEAN THIS UP.

THAT'S SWEET.
HERE, YOU WANT ME TO BRUSH IT?

NO, DON'T BRUSH IT.

I'M NOT WATERPROOF!

NOW WE JUST HAVE
TO COMPLETE THE BEACH.

THAT MEANS
I NEED BEACH FURNITURE.

SO, I GOT MY GUYS
BRINGING OVER BEACH FURNITURE.

IT'S GONNA LOOK SO GOOD.

NICE LOUNGER, MAN.

YEAH, THIS IS MINE.

YOU KNOW,
THE RAFFAS' REALLY HAVE

THIS WHOLE ISLAND/FISHING THEME
GOING ON,

SO I'M CALLING
IN MY FRIEND CELESTE

BECAUSE SHE HAS A LOT
OF COOL NAUTICAL DECOR.

RECLAIMED FISHNET,
WHICH WE WILL DECORATE.

IT'S A ROD HOLDER
FROM A BOAT.

YOU SAID
YOU WANTED FISHING THINGS.

WELL, ONCE AGAIN
CELESTE PULLS IT OFF.

BEACH IS NOW OPEN.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
IT'S BEEN 16 WEEKS ALREADY.

I MEAN, IT'S BEEN SUCH
AN INTENSE BUILD.

WE HAD TO GET EVERYTHING
LAID OUT JUST RIGHT.

RIGHT HERE, CRASH.

AND THAT MASSIVE MOTOR
THAT DRIVES THE LAZY RIVER.

AND TRUE TO FORM, I DID
MAKE SOME CHANGES ALONG THE WAY,

BUT IN THE END,
IT LOOKS SO GOOD.

WE GOT SOME GREAT SURPRISES
IN STORE FOR THEM,

AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM
TO EXPERIENCE THIS WHOLE BUILD.

ALL RIGHT.
JANET, JERRY,

THIS IS THE MOMENT.
WE'RE HERE.

I'M ABOUT TO SHOW YOU
YOUR NEW BACKYARD.

CAN'T WAIT.
JUST CAN'T WAIT.

I'M SO EXCITED.

WHAT LUCAS HAS DONE

WITH ALL THE ROCKS
AND THE GROTTO,

THE WATERFALLS COMING DOWN
WITH THE LIGHTS,

IT'S JUST UNBELIEVABLE.

I SHOULD CALL EVERYBODY
IN TENNESSEE

AND SEE IF THERE'S
ANY ROCKS LEFT THERE.

IT'S AMAZING.
BEAUTIFUL JOB.

I'M REALLY PROUD
THAT WE WERE ABLE

TO FIT ALL THESE FEATURES
IN A RELATIVELY SMALL SPACE.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHY WE DESERVE THIS.

LOOK HOW THAT INFINITY EDGE

LOOKS LIKE THE WHOLE POOL'S JUST
FALLING INTO THE CANAL.

OVER HERE
WE HAVE YOUR GROTTO.

THEN WE GOT THIS DEEP-BLUE
PEBBLE INTERIOR FINISH,

WHICH MAKES THE WATER THAT
REALLY INVITING DEEP BLUE COLOR.

WOW.

GOT NOTHING ON YOU, MAN.

I LIKE THAT.

BEFORE I SHOW YOU
AROUND, JERRY,

YOU REALLY WANTED
A LAZY RIVER, RIGHT?

REALLY FAST.

YEAH, THIS PUMP
IS REALLY INCREDIBLE.

2,400 GALLONS A MINUTE

AND THIS THING WILL
REALLY PUSH YOU AROUND THE POOL.

THAT'S GONNA BE
TONS OF FUN.

I'M REALLY PROUD OF MY CREW.

I MEAN, WE'VE NEVER DONE
ANY KIND OF LAZY RIVER,

AND IT JUST ADDED
THIS WHOLE OTHER ELEMENT
