I think it's fair criticism to say that the last time we looked at the house
here we really focused on my stuff the speakers the wires the gizmos the power
supplies and we glossed over the
painstaking work that you and the other
people that I think helped you as far as I can tell you did most of it it did to
make sure that this place is gonna look freaking awesome so we are going to take
a look through the new house and we are going to let Yvonne tell the story this
time and you know it's going to be a good story because it involves owls
ah okay oh and I have some wire and speaker and
power supply stuff to update you guys on as well so we're definitely going to do
that too and we're gonna do it with our sponsor glasswire are you legging ill
while Gaming use glassware and see what apps are wasting your bandwidth and
causing your games to lag get 25 off today using offer code Linus at the link
below
wait what okay we're replacing that door handle uh
I mean how did I break okay let's start in the
master bathroom uh yeah watch your step Brandon why did you put that right in
his because I literally dropped it and
so I didn't feel like picking it up again since we're starting over here the
bathroom Leia was horrible before so this little room here had a shower and a
toilet in it and it's tiny so we redid
the layout in here besides everything being pink and gold
um now it's all gray which some people don't like that but we like it we have
this really nice one and a half person tub which one of us is the half person I
think you're both 0.75 I'm pretty sure that's not how you're supposed to use
the top it's gonna be awesome come try it out with me that's a good sized
tunnel it is it's not bad actually um and the reason we went with one and a
half instead of a two person is because if you did want to just have a bath by
yourself it's not going to take an incredible amount of water to fill you
know what it was actually really difficult to find faucets that are high
flow and so finding something that was cool oh it's hooked up
okay thanks
so we have what I think are beautiful countertops but Jake thinks they're
dirty look it looks dirty it is not dirty that looks like Stone actually all
of the sinks had to be reinstalled because I think the sink guy was just having a bad day I thought I was having
a really good day they're like like off kilter yeah I mean worse comes to worse
you could always just paint over this right oh my gosh you cannot be serious
my favorite thing in here is the double shower when we moved into our first
place I saw it and I was like that is weird who does that and then
we used it and loved it and now we just couldn't go back I don't know maybe you
guys are sitting here thinking that's weird but the way that I see it families
who shower together
so we went from a rinky dink shower to this awesome double shower your walk-in
has like stuff in it really yeah oh so
nice did we we reused the old stuff right yeah yeah this looks like you'll
have enough room to store your things that you have yeah thanks yeah and then
we still have the attic access in here which will pull down right into here is
the clearance good enough yeah oh that was close to this though oh well you
just have to be careful all right do you want to go up there no you don't
want to come up here there's no lights or anything oh wait there's a light and
it's not powered right now anyway the tile on here is the same towel as in the
shower except the non-glossy version so it's not slippery yeah it's really
cohesive and nice and open I love it we're just missing the mirrors and the
light fixtures and the TV okay we are not we're not putting a TV in here yes
we are Linus never uses it okay that's just internet that's just so
that he could have the option of but that doesn't mean you have to exercise
at all that's a video counter-intuitively we actually made the
master bedroom smaller as part of our Renault we expanded the bathroom so that
we could have the double shower and then we just we didn't feel like we needed as
much space in here just sleep in here yeah that's it oh
and others hey look we changed the knobs
oh yeah okay cool yeah they're crooked
they are crooked right now so I hope they fixed that yeah well you just
tighten them and then okay oh my stuff's in too yeah so this is where all all of
my clothes that I will ever own will go the number of hours we spent looking at
floor colors and just painstakingly trying to find the right thing was
horrible and it was mostly pointless anyway because there's so much variation
from one plank to the next that basically every test patch we did it's
kind of meaningless I originally saw this color when we put down a whole
bunch of them and everyone was like no no no that's horrible that's horrible and I was like oh and what happened was
they hadn't put the baseboards on so there was still pink all around the room
and so it it actually changed the color of the floor just that little bit so we
have actually sanded this floor painted
it this color sanded it again and painted it back this color
you know what Carol was amazing he only charged us for the product for it shut
up yeah we should definitely tip him at least the floor doesn't look dirty I
love these these are one of my favorite things but for some reason they left all
the stickers on when they installed them these ones are no big deal but come over
here how am I supposed to reach that one with the ladder I don't want to do that
oh yeah the glass is totally crooked on this one look yeah I don't know maybe
the light guy was having a bad day too
so this should give you some idea of the kind of fixtures that were in the house
before Linus wanted me to paint it oh and put it back up wait this is cool
this was a really fun project we did it with help from Colin because we don't
know how to use our own laser cutter but each of the kids rooms has a bespoke
sign that's laser cut wood this one is our
youngest daughter ghosts only was her request for her room she likes ghosts
what ghosts only literally glows in the dark it's not going to get dark enough
in here to be elucidate you might I yeah cool right inside her room she actually
wants a forest of cats I don't really know how those two things go together I
mean she's five each kid got to pick their own accent color so she picked
purple and if I can get help opening this up we'll be able to see the forest
oh good gravy what is this how many of them are there Lots it's supposed to be
a forest what do you think just wait until you have to take it down in four
years oh I don't know if this is a very good idea oh okay or should we take one
off oh no it's fine it's fine don't worry don't worry I'm not gonna Stick it
to the wall I mean oh it's very staticky I think
they are supposed to be removable so if you wanted to just so it'll be like that
and then there's going to be kitties that go on the trees thanks for holding
this so that I can put it back on yeah maybe we should mix some tech into this
hey look access points we actually hung these before and had to take them all
down for the paint but they're up again they're up okay you're actually gonna
have to take it back down because they painted the ceilings the wrong color and it needs to be repainted you're kidding
right no it's light blue did somebody tell the contractors because they hung
out the cameras yeah I guess like literally everything they literally put
the wrong product on every surface that this entire house before I came in and
was like Hey you put the wrong product on everything even though I told you
multiple times in other news these cameras are amazing these are G4 bullets
back when we did our current house there was G4 pros and then there was the G3
Flex so you had your 4K and then you had your 1080p you had your AI detection
and you had your no AI detection this is
your middle ground look at that latency huh
not bad oh you know what's funny the contractor that installed these when I
gave him access to it to like position them he was like wow these look really
good it's like what do you usually install most people get garbage child
number two's room her request was a
kitty a dragon Bears the moon mountains
trees and we I think successfully Incorporated all those things the
butterfly was added at the last minute she wanted a mountain scene on the
outside because she wanted to trick people and then when you go into her
room it's actually underwater themed she picked a bright bright blue for her wall
and what we're gonna do actually is sponge it to make it look more oceany
because right now it's just one song get some greens in there and stuff like that we also got these really cool stickers
that are glow in the dark so during the day they look just like whatever see
kelp and uh oh man I'm drawing a blank what are those called jellyfish thank
you and then at night and then she picked her own chandelier which I think
is amazing it suits her so well yeah and of course klip speakers in every single
room they're all in now I think there's 40 speakers this place is going to be
like this was like another six outside 46 speakers and that doesn't include the
theater room and the amps that are gonna need to power them holy crap how many
amps are we gonna get it's content man you'll have to get subscribed and we'll
see the boy is a certified gamer he asked for gaming themed and then for
whatever reason Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc which he's not even like
and he was one of the ones that was actually consistent he wanted an orange
sign and the accent in his room is actually going to be orange we're going to be doing the accent in his room he
wants a mural of like a badminton player hitting a shuttle oh that's pretty cool
yeah so we're gonna have fun doing that together and then he wanted an owl so so
the theme fell apart a little bit handcrafted on the cricket cry-cut
cricket yeah it's super cute when it was
on the ground earlier I thought it was a penguin cell repeater I noticed my cell
reception wasn't crap I did a speed test earlier I got like 50 down I've never
gotten more than like two down in this house when are you guys changing the
smoke detectors you guys yeah they mean
electrician oh and we did change the lights up here
this entire house was like OG fluorescence that were 150 watts a bulb
there's like 90 bulbs in this house yeah if you had everything on
oh speaking of efficiency remember how the power generation and
consumption of the solar appeared to be absolutely identical when we showed it
to you guys it was a little sus well it turns out the roofing contractors in
their Infinite Wisdom wanted to save us
354 dollars no no it's 279. 279 on a six
figure job by not installing the
component that monitors household energy consumption I even sent them an email
like I think broken they're like oh it wasn't in the scope
of work what but anyways it works now yeah actually you made more today than
you used yeah yeah look at that so you produced 37.2 and consumed 25 points so
net exported oh yeah you would think this would be the big highlighted one
that's what everyone would want to know so basically you made a dollar hey wait
I thought this was my tour we skipped an entire floor should we go check out the
office can you try to break less things did you just pull it off again this is
new I think since you guys last saw it this is our built-in bookshelf uh
Linus's desk is going to be somewhere here so in the backdrop we'll be able to
decorate this really nice he had every single shelf in here wired individually
for RGB which Jake told me was just Insanity it's not Insanity the way that
you did it I didn't do it Insanity well
let me just explain to the audience every single Shelf has wiring which is
great but every single shelf only has two wires so you have to put the
controllers on each freaking shelf
except rather than using a proper controller like when we keep control
with Z-Wave Linus wants to use like PC
RGB controllers that you control with a
remote so he can individually change them all except as soon as you click the
remote they're all just gonna change you can just put a dog a dog don't lick
yourself cone on it oh yeah it's not like the signal bounces or anything I
don't think there's anything new to tell the people about this room the ceiling in here is the wrong color too so we'll
get that fixed oh yeah oh watch your head okay I would like you right then
and there now to admit that I was right this is too low because you just almost
ran into it my whole bottom self is gonna phase right through the table yeah
I'm gonna have a chair like right here what he would do is he would sit down
here and then he would lean over for something and then stand up
then the Wi-Fi in this place all bars all the time
it's not as fast as my Wi-Fi but
oh everything's
things that asked me to take apart some you know in closet shelving and then
wait a year and try and put it back together but this this is supposed to change
right it's supposed to originally but you know what I actually kind of like it
it goes with the blue it's not very modern though that's the only issue it's
not so bad when you're here and then you back up and you're like whoa brand new
stainless appliances honestly my bigger issue is the sharp
corners on this countertop here oh yeah
this was actually incredibly difficult to find because we used all of the old
kitchen cabinetry this is not a standard size anymore this is a 27 inch instead
of a 30 inch and this was one of the only double ovens I could find
hey you laugh but double oven's pretty sick I mean you don't want to have to
like oven your dessert how awesome does
the family room look these are gonna be black
and then this is pretty much done it looks like a 65 inch what are we going
for this one I think an a90j would be six so 65 inch a90j and then I think
we're either gonna reuse the old Sonos Arc or that Sony A9 HT or whatever it's
called the four piece surround thing we should definitely do that I think we
should do that yeah just Jake tell you about how we tested all the blinds and
they were great but the problem is that the blinds are not the right color see
these two colors those are supposed to be the same I sent them a picture of the
Swatch next to what they sent us and they're like oh yeah different dye Lots it's not even close wait what is that
what happened here it's not my fault there's still things that need to be
changed like the knob and the light fixture unfortunately this cannot be
changed I am a little uh disappointed about this you know what I don't mind it
it's less bad than the kitchen the kitchen is atrocious that one is weird
it's a really big mirror and they put holes in all like almost all of their
mirrors to have in mirror light fixtures the new
never mind I was gonna make a joke okay one thing we are not doing smart is we
are actually reusing the original appliances because they're from like the
early 90s late 80s or something like that and apparently they're absolute
tanks compared to the washers and dryers they build today the old owner who was
meticulous told us that every time she's had them regularly serviced which of
course she does the techs have come in and said you need to never throw this
thing away they do not build them like this anymore and she was like okay so
we're just gonna keep them they painted the ceilings in here without changing the light fixtures first so that's
I don't know I must emphasize the actual
quality of the finished work has been very good but our painters are just
plenty Vision you as a non-painter might
look at this and go wow they did a really great job of taping everything
but taping things is not the be-all and end all because if you tape things you
still have to put in the work to cut carefully because otherwise what happens
is you Gunk up the tape with paint like
this you leave it for a month or two and when you rip this paint up unless you go
by with like an exacto knife and cut the
edge of the tape with a knife you're going to pull this tape up and it's
going to rip up pieces of the wall they would have been better off just cutting
it by hand and fixing with touch-ups sorry cutting with a knife versus
cutting in with a three and a half inch angled brush paint here made me so angry
theater room time I need to warn you as we go in here do not touch or move or
play with any of that oh but it's here yes the idea behind this is we can use
it to Cable manage from the closet there over to the mech room and we could use
it to just like stash all the ugly cables and stuff in there there's going
to be power in here so if a friend brought over a PlayStation 6 or
something you could just plunk it here there will be an extra HDMI cable to the
receiver that's just like in a hole in here and just pull that up and you're
ready to go but dude it is so dark in
here now yes thank you this is not dark
enough though oh my God why is this is like this is great why is it gray
because I was told that gray was fine but guess what Jake and I have already
reached out to the makers of black 3.0 and we're gonna take it to literally
avoid Yvonne I don't know why but she
was super into the idea of kind of brown carpet I was
I thought it was okay oh yeah you know what that's awful we're gonna be in a
black void does it really matter well it could be more blacker I don't know I
just give up this is your guys's room let's change the carpet I don't know if
I want to spend the money I'll change the carpet carpet oh my gosh Jake
and I are debating the desk colors in here he wants to do black legs white
tops with black chairs with red lining and I'm thinking that that sounds
horrible well the Wall's already blue I do agree we should actually like dye the
thing okay you told me it wasn't going to be a big deal when I suggested I
thought we were getting the same chairs as Sarah yeah well those look awesome
she vetoed that that's not my fault because it was white cloth and the cat
is just going to tear that apart I think we should go natural wood finish for the
desks in here I'm all for it I'm just not sure it's gonna go with everything
else that's already picked are we actually gonna die to threads sure what
I don't care how long it takes I'm not going to be doing it wait what I'm okay
do you want to talk about your finishes in the downstairs kitchen all the
furniture down here and the accent light fixtures and things like that are all going to be darker so I think that's
going to tie it all together and look really good there was a big kind of
hand-wringing stress moment when the general contractor was like about to
show us the fridge that we had chosen do you know why because it sticks out too
much yeah it doesn't stick up well do you think this works
huge fan of the wall color down here Linus really likes blue tinted stuff for
some reason it's white it's white which is what you said you liked there's a
blue undertone for sure there's an undertone where's your undertone now it
is you can see it it's so clear it looks blue undertone here and yellow undertone
over here because the only difference is
the light bouncing off it it's like this whole thing here is blue undertone I
actually think the white was the wrong call it's like that's the one that
suggested I said white most places can't
even see the moldings because it's just so putridly white eyelin it blue there's
an explanation for this I was reading the documentation for our receiver and
it seemed like it was possible to have
two different inputs going to two
different zones both audio and video
simultaneously through this receiver you can do that you can just knot it Fork
k120 oh well that's awesome then so I'm hoping that I can have the Xbox and the
gaming PC that powers the theater room and the VR Gaming space and the TV there
be the same one and then just share them
by using the AV receiver remember how I had promised you that like the
controller setup and everything would not be complicated if we do it this way
it will be very complicated yeah I figured that is my personal kind of
assumed that's my personal Tech tips guarantee also they screwed up the rack
power it's supposed to be one 30 amp 208
volt and then one just regular 120 volt and they're both just 120 volt what
because Eden sent us this amazing like five kilowatt UPS oh really but it's too
late we can head outside and I'll tell you why I lost my cool with the pool
contractor in a moment but this gives you an idea of how the good these
fireplaces can look if you paint the gold things black so if you still have
one of those gold fireplaces all it takes is a spray bomb and about like 20
minutes and it can look that much better this is a big ass hole ten thousand
dollars is what they told us a hole like this
costs and then they said but stuff can happen you might find a big rock or you
know whatever a fossilized dinosaur and it could affect the cost of it but we'll
let you know so then we got a bill the hole is completely dug and they go yeah
it was 25 Grand so we're building you with our 2022 rates not the rates that
we had you know can't change your rates after quoting someone well you don't
have a quote if you don't have an agreed upon rate anyway to figure out how deep
we wanted to go for the pool I actually conducted an extremely scientific survey
you called James while I was sitting next to him and he was like I have no
idea who cares how deep your pool is that's what he told me you should be
able to dive let's say like eight ten feet you know what the eight Footers lost when the kids are having a pool
party or whatever not everyone wants to like tread water the whole time so we
settled on six and a half so the kids are still gonna have to paddle the whole time but you're able to have an even
slope so a lot of people can actually stand all the way up to like the
two-thirds Point nobody can dive I mean I can dive it's a hot tub please big
bathtub I thought you could dive in six and a half feet what well you don't dive
straight in yeah but still some people just need to learn how to swim properly
some people just oh do you want to see the finishes for the pool is it going to
be dirty like the countertop this is the band that's going to go all the way around and then it's going to be the
stone skate material all down the side and under yeah and then the hot tub is
going to be these two it's not dirty come on yeah that one looks pretty dirty
oh wait no we're not done yet Jake check this out don't stand on that we haven't
shown these yet thanks Klipsch total of six of these and they actually sound
like kind of great it's gonna be awesome we're just gonna put them all in one
zone right
okay whatever it's your house I don't care three zones have over it and uh
three Segways to our sponsor and this is a Segway tour sponsor
do I have to do it really yeah okay I'm a Segway towards you know Segways to our
sponsor paid for this house sponsors like sponsors like no because we
actually have to Fresh books now I'm gonna go ahead and guess that you're not
