0:00

0:05

i'm super excited to see it andre tell

0:07

me about this place i see a lot of

0:09

military vehicles right across the

0:11

street yeah and i see a viewing deck up

0:13

there what kind of neighborhood is this

0:16

it's a really interesting neighborhood

0:17

with a lot of very interesting people

0:19

that do a lot of very interesting things

0:20

so my neighbor over here owns a rental

0:23

company where he rents military vehicles

0:26

pretty cool we have a lot of really

0:27

interesting people my neighbor next door

0:29

she's a bone doctor what do you call

0:31

that

0:32

i have no idea of that

0:34

and this guy does youtube so let's go

0:36

inside let's go let's do it this video

0:39

is brought to you by my programs on real

0:41

estate investing property management and

0:43

agent sales link down below with a

0:45

coupon code expiring october 29th

0:49

but first you have to tell us about this

0:52

because there is this metal frame here

0:55

with some soft fabric and a machine of

0:58

some sort up here

1:00

oh

1:00

my god well that does this is this is

1:03

his uh apocalypse shelter it's my iron

1:06

man thing

1:09

no way

1:11

so

1:11

we have these in uh germany you have

1:14

like a rope on the inside that you can

1:16

kind of like pull them up or you kind of

1:18

put your arm down and just kind of

1:20

slides when you want to drop them down

1:22

and they're great because they're great

1:23

for storms they're great for security

1:26

and you get different levels of light

1:27

too and the best part is in the

1:29

summertime which in vegas is imperative

1:32

is when you put those down the sun

1:34

doesn't beat on you so hard and so you

1:35

save money on running your ac that's

1:38

every window in this house has that

1:40

which i was told is extremely expensive

1:42

to do i would have never done it myself

1:44

but it's pretty cool my guess is just

1:46

this front door was probably somewhere

1:47

in the neighborhood of three to four

1:49

thousand dollars yeah but i have massive

1:51

windows in there that each one has that

1:53

window which manual or automating

1:55

automated oh my gosh i think you

1:57

probably have a hundred thousand dollars

1:59

worth of upgrades and that alone that

2:00

you probably paid 10 grand for that's

2:02

true market value that's true that's a

2:04

good deal right there i like that

2:06

already this is this is good

2:08

oh my gosh

2:09

[Applause]

2:10

this is stunning man this is so cool i

2:13

remember so i have not seen the after of

2:16

your your after videos i purposely did

2:18

not watch your after videos but i did

2:20

watch the before and i saw this exposed

2:23

yeah and i'm like i don't know andre

2:25

what are you getting yourself into this

2:26

is this is not normal

2:28

about this it isn't normal so a lot of

2:30

people look at them they're like why'd

2:31

you buy a warehouse

2:33

it's not a warehouse it's just kind of

2:34

an industrial style home and the goal of

2:37

the remodel was to make it warmer and

2:39

more homey and so we changed a lot of it

2:41

to be a little bit more traditional and

2:43

so i don't know if you guys know

2:43

restoration hardware that's like my

2:45

favorite furniture store i short that

2:47

stock

2:51

so anyway the goal was to remodel it to

2:53

look like that and so that's kind of the

2:55

result but i love the exposed ceiling uh

2:57

look because it has such high ceilings

3:00

and i love the open concept just because

3:02

it makes me feel like i have freedom to

3:04

roam around and i like that now you

3:06

wouldn't mention that this is actually

3:07

normal in the neighborhood yeah or

3:09

you're not the only one that's like this

3:11

every single house on this street has

3:13

exactly this okay okay that's better

3:15

i like that a lot that's great because

3:17

and you did make it look really nice so

3:19

did you paint the metal up here no this

3:21

is exactly that's that came with wow

3:23

okay so then it's all the other things

3:25

that you added that actually tie it in

3:27

now yes so let's get in let's get into

3:29

this so i want to know so you put on

3:31

lucha you can control all these on your

3:32

phone bluetron yeah that's really nice

3:34

okay by the way if you want to do smart

3:36

lighting lutron is the best company i'm

3:37

not sponsor we're not sponsored there's

3:39

no plugs i'm just saying lutron is the

3:41

best because it is the most stable

3:43

automated flight thing in the world 100

3:46

i've done five years ago i rewired my

3:48

entire house with this like z-wave

3:50

insteon crap yep horrible yeah these are

3:53

the way to go and something really cool

3:55

is it and i do this in rental properties

3:57

now is sometimes we'll have light

3:59

switches in really weird places

4:01

and so we'll add a lutron light switch

4:04

which has a like a five-year battery in

4:06

it uh to a different location no wires

4:08

needed right and you can switch a new

4:10

light from a different location yeah

4:11

amazing

4:13

i wish we should get sponsored

4:16

by the way this is one of my favorite

4:17

features of the house this wall this

4:19

this came like that when i bought the

4:20

house so i know this was not cheap i

4:22

don't know how much this was i was going

4:24

to ask you because this is floor to

4:26

ceiling

4:27

a lot of times when people do these

4:28

sorts of things they go up to a certain

4:30

height and they stop yeah this is floor

4:31

to ceiling that's way more square

4:33

footage and it's it's almost this entire

4:35

length here until you get to it it looks

4:36

like your family room here that's and so

4:38

this was here this was here oh my god

4:41

and i think it adds to the warmth now

4:42

the other thing we're really focused on

4:43

in the house is the kitchen so this was

4:45

the big remodel where i think i spent

4:47

probably the most amount of money here

4:48

and this was the this island this uh uh

4:51

gosh what do you call this a waterfall

4:53

of uh

4:54

calcutta

4:58

yeah so it's non-porous so if i spill

5:00

things here it'll be fine like the

5:01

coffee i spilled yeah that's fine

5:03

it's not like marble

5:05

so

5:07

i'm looking at the metal here it doesn't

5:08

look like you had to move any walls up

5:10

in the front here did you no no nothing

5:11

that's really nice so you had this as

5:13

sort of a a blank canvas yeah exactly do

5:16

whatever you wanted exactly that's

5:17

incredible and so it's all new cabinets

5:19

all new appliances everything's new

5:21

everything is new yeah the whole kitchen

5:22

was ripped out and this island was a

5:24

completely different shape oh my gosh

5:26

okay it was like this like rounded thing

5:28

and i was like let's let's make it a

5:30

right angle

5:31

yeah just make it right when you walk in

5:33

you have this whole surface like a male

5:36

cheese bed

5:38

that's awesome yeah so uh how much did

5:40

this cost you because before you say

5:43

you've got two colors you've got the the

5:45

um gray style cabinet here with the

5:47

brass hardware which is really in right

5:49

now super gorgeous but then over here

5:51

you've got that craftsman style white

5:54

and the black it's super nice you carry

5:56

the same counter the soft clothes

5:58

very nice and

6:00

this oh okay

6:02

and the subway tile even went all the

6:04

way up around your vent hood yeah

6:06

actually interestingly that vent hood

6:07

that i bought didn't go up all the way

6:09

so it was three quarters of the way and

6:11

because it was so tall they had to

6:12

custom mill that last steel piece and

6:14

they put that in there which was

6:16

unfortunately more expensive than i

6:17

liked for it to be it was like dollars

6:19

or a thousand dollars to do that just

6:20

for that upper portion just for that

6:22

upper portion which is so silly but my

6:24

favorite part i will say is do you know

6:26

what this is it's your faucet let's go

6:28

cause they plummet to hot water cool

6:30

cold from the fridge this is a pot

6:32

filler yeah that's amazing i love those

6:34

that's amazing good for you that's super

6:36

cool now how much did the pot filler

6:38

cost you alone the pot filler alone was

6:40

200 plus

6:41

that's for the faucet itself yeah yeah

6:43

well that's not bad plus around five to

6:45

eight hundred dollars i believe for the

6:46

install for the water line well i mean

6:48

if you're gonna have a kitchen like this

6:49

yeah

6:50

yeah you should so how much did this

6:52

kitchen cost you because at first of all

6:53

i want to say it's gorgeous thank you

6:55

and can you give it to me without

6:56

appliances because you got a sub zero

6:58

right there yeah and that right there is

7:00

how much i spend on the kitchen

7:02

this is true kevin's just like blaze

7:04

everything we're done

7:06

we're done

7:07

so the kitchen i want to say was about

7:09

45 000. i'm honestly impressed okay and

7:12

then appliances on top of that on

7:14

appliances i want to say another

7:17

20 000. okay okay so 65k uh and that

7:20

includes all of the stone and the

7:22

thailand yes that's nice because this

7:24

kind of countertop alone you probably

7:26

spent everything here what 12 grand just

7:29

on the countertop probably yeah probably

7:31

but this is just such an amazing piece

7:33

and it looks really good thank you it's

7:34

a really good job yeah but from the

7:35

front it looks really cool because what

7:37

we have

7:38

here is this three inch thick which

7:41

normally i believe there's

7:43

but the lip here is three and they did

7:45

this really cool thing where uh it's

7:47

called the ship lap and it's just a

7:49

fancy word for just saying like you know

7:51

just wood panels but this is a really

7:53

great way by the way to make your house

7:55

upgraded on

7:56

like not that much money it's really

7:58

chip left yeah

8:00

it just looks upgraded chip and joanna

8:02

gaines will be proud

8:05

uh this is amazing thank you really good

8:07

job so uh

8:08

did you run into any challenges in the

8:10

kitchen it looks like you've got a lot

8:11

of pantry space you got endless there is

8:14

war space one major challenge that i

8:16

came across which is when we redid the

8:17

shape of the island underneath this

8:19

there was this you see this really

8:21

really gray kind of concrete yeah they

8:24

had to diamond cut that out around the

8:26

island now i can't get it here so my

8:29

solution to that and i haven't i don't

8:31

have enough rocks yet i need to buy one

8:32

more bag but we put this little cedar

8:35

border around here because this concrete

8:37

paint is underneath this so we put this

8:39

river rock formation to cover that

8:42

concrete which is a different color than

8:44

the floor that i have and this was a

8:45

really cheap way because that diamond

8:47

cut process around this area which is so

8:49

hard to get to would be extremely

8:51

expensive so we're like let's just cover

8:53

it with something that just looks really

8:54

pretty and you went with river rocks

8:56

yeah incredible i really like i like

8:58

that a lot yeah so on top of this you're

9:00

saying with some kind of finished

9:02

concrete here yeah that they you had

9:04

them grind away so rather than like pour

9:06

over it or floor over it you're like

9:08

let's grind it down yes okay i love it

9:10

yes because it looks really good the way

9:12

you have it now so uh you actually have

9:15

another floor under this you have a

9:16

basement i do this is amazing do you

9:18

want to see upstairs or downstairs it's

9:20

like a choose your own adventure choose

9:22

your

9:22

yeah uh wow well i want to know what's

9:25

in here that's my garage and i i don't

9:28

want to show it because it's a mess

9:30

all the boxes that's what they're meant

9:32

for two-car garage there you've got your

9:33

kitchen here yeah and you have those

9:35

automated uh

9:37

yeah

9:38

things yeah

9:40

everywhere yeah awesome so we can come

9:42

in and this is our dining room right

9:43

here we don't really use this space but

9:45

i like it this is a restoration hardware

9:47

dupe chandelier from house

9:50

so this this whoa i like that because

9:52

house is way cheaper than restoration

9:54

yeah yeah so this was only i want to say

9:56

like 800 whereas restoration hardware

9:58

was like three grand oh yeah so this is

10:00

not that this is our little concrete

10:02

table wow did you like this

10:05

no we bought this yeah i say that one of

10:07

the reasons i like like if i were to

10:09

invest in restoration hardware the

10:10

reason i would is because they know how

10:13

to rip people off

10:14

so this is brilliant 800 would you call

10:17

it a restoration hardware dupe yes dude

10:19

that's brilliant there's full youtube

10:21

channels that are dedicated to showing

10:23

you where to get dupes oh my gosh that's

10:25

very smart i've studied those

10:28

i like that this is alexa oh no i'm just

10:30

kidding but she doesn't talk to me

10:33

you should build or like stick an alexa

10:35

right here that would be crazy that'd be

10:36

hilarious

10:38

all right great idea

10:40

all right so this is also a dupe from

10:42

restoration hardware and the number one

10:44

comment on my video was like where did

10:45

you get this sofa andre

10:47

and this is a cloud couch dupe so in

10:50

restoration hardware this would cost

10:51

like eighteen thousand dollars you just

10:52

wanna jump on it please do go right

10:54

there in the corner go ahead three two

10:56

one

10:57

that's amazing it's just

11:05

thank you so what honestly what i really

11:07

love when right when i come in is at

11:09

first i didn't love the metal but now

11:11

with how you've warmed it up i really

11:13

like it because it opens it up so well

11:15

yeah see on a normal traditional home i

11:18

feel like you'd have to remove walls to

11:19

get this kind of open feeling right and

11:21

it'd be a disaster uh how was dealing

11:23

with the city or did you have to we

11:25

didn't have to no there was no permanent

11:26

request see

11:32

[Music]

11:35

anyway that's what this looks like this

11:36

whole entire wall at night we have movie

11:38

nights so this whole entire wall is a

11:40

projector and this bose speaker sound

11:43

system came with the house which was

11:44

awesome it didn't change anything this

11:45

is as it came

11:47

and you had a prior owner who spent

11:49

money like crazy we had which is so

11:51

great we had two private owners that

11:53

dropped insane amounts of money on this

11:55

house one of the guys that used to live

11:56

here the guy before i bought from him

11:59

was i don't want to say his name but

12:00

he's a very famous host for a ghost

12:03

hunter series

12:05

he used to live here and he decked out

12:07

this house and he added this wall and

12:09

like just a ton of stuff see like that's

12:11

one of the people you want to buy at

12:13

home from is not the do-it-yourselfer

12:16

but the guy who's got so much money that

12:18

they will spend a ridiculous amount of

12:20

money to have something perfect right if

12:22

you see those shutters coming it's like

12:23

right away that's a deal because you're

12:24

getting it for pennies right right yes i

12:27

love it yeah let's see what happens

12:28

let's go see the bedrooms real quick yes

12:30

so my girlfriend corey her dad he helped

12:34

us a lot with the house yes and one of

12:35

the things he did for us

12:37

was so this is a guest bedroom right

12:39

here you have such cool things oh

12:42

why do i not have cool things like this

12:44

look at that the original iphone this is

12:46

the iphone one oh my gosh and this is

12:49

the game boy color this is the exact one

12:51

i have game the purple one

12:53

yeah so this is awesome right here

12:56

behind us is a shared bathroom between

12:57

these two bedrooms that's did nothing to

13:00

the bathroom like nothing this is how it

13:01

came okay um

13:04

this is incredible what is this blacked

13:05

out glass

13:08

i don't know what it is it is because i

13:11

thought the tile was black and i'm like

13:14

wait a minute it's not yeah it's just

13:16

blacked out glass i've never seen that

13:17

before which is really cool because you

13:19

can't see like really the water spots

13:21

unless you get like close to it all

13:22

right like that's usually why people

13:24

don't like glass this is cool like a

13:27

white kid yeah so this right here is

13:29

something corey's dad did for us which

13:31

is this wall again this is the stone

13:33

wall which was this was three hundred

13:35

dollars from home depot it was about a

13:36

thousand dollars to put in here and he

13:38

cut around and he just made this

13:39

beautiful wall and also more artwork oh

13:41

my god you almost have all the iphones

13:43

13:45

five four 3g which was iphone 2 yes oh

13:49

13:50

seven yeah we got the ten up there oh my

13:53

gosh yeah wait how much did those cost

13:55

you those cost 200 a piece no way yes

13:59

this looks like something that would

14:01

cost

14:02

exactly

14:04

oh man it's so easy to get a good look

14:06

for cheap

14:08

and this is these are this is a manual

14:09

one this is a rolling manual one but on

14:11

top of that we have these installed just

14:14

for privacy in case you know you just

14:15

you know you don't want to put the metal

14:17

one down but yeah that's incredible can

14:19

i do it

14:20

yeah yeah but it's pretty heavy so be

14:22

careful yeah let's give it a little

14:23

perfect very good quality yeah good job

14:46

this is our little guest bedroom so if

14:47

anybody stays here that's that's their

14:48

room and they added a closet over here

14:50

oh my gosh there's one more thing yeah

14:52

so the guy who's the host i guess he put

14:54

a not a podcast room but like a voice

14:57

i guess sound recorder for you for audio

14:59

oh my god um this just is just a room

15:03

that's completely sound proofed and

15:06

it's a tiny little closet

15:08

but it's a sound it's incredible in case

15:10

you wanna do voiceovers yeah they've

15:11

could always refine it but i could

15:44

always refinance later and i just i

15:46

couldn't get approved in time so i just

15:48

didn't want to deal with it and i knew i

15:49

wanted this house because i looked at

15:51

this house not like in the community but

15:53

this specific house in 2014. oh my god

15:56

and i couldn't afford it at the time

15:57

well see now you can uh when you find

15:59

out taxes you can refinance get like a

16:01

three percent right put it all in

16:02

bitcoin exactly yes yellow did you

16:04

did you do the doors uh no it came like

16:07

that these are incredible doors for them

16:09

coming this way and so you would imagine

16:11

just in the heart we just did the

16:12

hardware yeah

16:13

it's just an easy easy upgrade yeah

16:15

that's amazing i do that in every rental

16:17

property new hardware simple yeah this

16:20

is very nice let's go upstairs let's do

16:22

it all right

16:24

so the rail was here and it kind of goes

16:26

with

16:27

the the industrial yeah

16:29

i had somebody reach out to me and say

16:30

andre you need to complete the look and

16:32

change the railing and i gave him some

16:34

examples but he he was just a metal

16:36

worker and i didn't want to change the

16:38

metal look because i don't want to make

16:39

it look more industrial right i like a

16:41

wood warm color and just a warm tone and

16:44

right now the white kind of blends in it

16:46

just i don't really notice it it

16:48

disappears it's good yeah it's perfect

16:50

so

16:51

metal staircase this is cool

16:53

i have i don't know that i've seen a

16:55

metal staircase inside of a home but it

16:57

works it comes wow

16:59

this is insane

17:02

i'm just blown away

17:03

like there's so much space yeah and it's

17:06

all open that's see whoever designed

17:08

these was brilliant because they really

17:10

just carried the weight of these

17:11

properties from the front to the back to

17:13

where inside you could just have

17:15

whatever right it was just a blank

17:17

canvas and so we changed the floors so

17:19

this is lvt so

17:22

it's gory so this is luxury vinyl tile

17:25

so this is also waterproof

17:27

um and it's like nine inch wide this i

17:30

love this color it's very warm it's very

17:31

very good color beachy vibe this is

17:34

exactly what i would use i love this

17:37

good

17:38

good super cool nice yeah and so

17:40

this is the master yes no this is a den

17:43

this is our denim hangout area

17:46

so when we bought the house this whole

17:48

wall was not here so that's what we

17:50

created so this wall right here this

17:52

railing went all the way through and it

17:54

was like a right angle okay so we added

17:56

this wall this wall and this entire

17:58

aluminum

17:59

it's called critter style divider how

18:02

much did this this was very expensive

18:04

yeah because these doors alone

18:06

look like i would guess just these two

18:09

doors not even the whole frame

18:11

these are probably at least six to seven

18:13

thousand dollar doors

18:15

uh this whole frame

18:17

twenty twenty five so that the whole

18:19

plus then you gotta build it out too

18:22

what do you call that the the anyway

18:23

that stuff your headers up here yeah

18:25

yeah because they came through so we had

18:27

to put something solid there to

18:28

soundproof that

18:29

so and to mount the the divider on so

18:32

this cost 24 000. oh i was close

18:36

oh dang

18:37

that's amazing very very nice

18:39

so then this is also uh is it a dual

18:43

pane no it's it's a single i don't know

18:45

that you needed a really a jewel but

18:46

this is but it it's on a i guess a

18:48

little

18:49

soft closed so it doesn't need to really

18:51

be a double painted thing

18:53

it's

18:54

and then you have a curtain this is sort

18:55

of just the aesthetic on the side well

18:57

we wanted some privacy right so this is

18:59

the uh owner's bedroom right here and

19:02

this is what we did oh my goodness so

19:05

this this is a king-sized bed it doesn't

19:06

look like it corey and i was so large it

19:08

wasn't corey and i lived on a queen-size

19:10

bed for years for over six years and

19:12

then we saw this bed it was like but

19:14

that's a queen and it's not it's a

19:15

king-sized bed but you can't tell in

19:17

this room because this room is so big we

19:18

have the same headboard do it really

19:20

yeah

19:22

wow

19:22

in fact when i got my hair dyed i was i

19:25

was

19:25

caught myself leaning up against it i'm

19:27

like i'm gonna turn it green oh no

19:29

great minds think like me yeah

19:32

this is uh this is a chandelier from

19:33

wayfair for a hundred dollars

19:35

no way with the led spirals too yeah i

19:38

don't believe you how do you find these

19:40

things very the best it's amazing good

19:43

job lauren does furniture i don't do any

19:45

of that

19:46

yeah target way fair these are great

19:48

places yeah it's the best way fair stock

19:50

that whole set of furniture that was

19:52

under a thousand dollars from target

19:54

target's so good people don't

19:56

underestimate how good target furniture

19:58

is amazing yes

19:59

i'm glad you're shopping there yeah i

20:01

was worried you're like every piece was

20:03

gonna be illustration hardware no no

20:05

this is cause studio mcgee collection

20:06

it's amazing it's so good yeah wow so

20:09

how long do you plan to live here

20:10

because you've really made this perfect

20:12

well for me yeah i did uh i don't know

20:15

for the first time

20:17

yeah this is i love it but so this is i

20:21

think the best part of this room is this

20:23

wow the bathroom right here so that's

20:25

this is awesome yeah this is the buckley

20:28

design as well we got the river rock

20:29

here the tub is in the shower yeah in

20:32

the glass so the most expensive part the

20:34

most expensive was this pane of glass

20:37

right here but yeah it's a single piece

20:40

they weren't sure if they could even get

20:41

this inside the house just because of

20:42

how big this glass is it's

20:45

like do you want two panes of glass or

20:46

one and i think they would have had the

20:48

line yeah but then the line i was like

20:49

no i'm gonna splurge on a single right

20:51

here okay i gotta know this pane of

20:52

glass i mean four grand no more no way

20:56

double that oh my god that's nine nine

20:58

grand for the nonsense for this painted

21:01

glass yeah just to not have the line

21:03

just to not have that life let's go

21:06

dumb money no i'm sorry so but this is

21:09

genius that you have this i i really

21:11

actually like the tub in here because

21:13

most people have the tub separate and

21:15

they never use the tub right but now

21:17

it's just like we use it every day as

21:19

well because you could just do both it's

21:21

like you're in your steam room well

21:23

what's nice is you know how sometimes

21:24

you get in the bathtub and you kind of

21:25

feel dirty it's a shower first but you

21:27

have to get out and fill the tub and

21:29

this way you could just rinse off and

21:31

then just use it and it's and we use it

21:32

every day

21:33

that's incredible so are there uh drains

21:36

there must be drains under here as well

21:38

yes so you could like have squirt fights

21:40

of yeah shower and lash around and do

21:42

anything yeah

21:43

this is very cool yeah uh i don't know

21:45

if that one little exhaust there is

21:47

gonna cut it for how streamy this

21:49

probably gets actually it doesn't get

21:51

steamy at all it's just so long it's

21:52

just because it's so open yeah wow

21:55

that's true i mean this is the size of a

21:57

bed this is the size of my office

22:00

yes it is it is been in it

22:02

where kevin films is that size i'm not

22:05

exaggerating

22:07

oh yeah gosh well i i feel horrible

22:09

about myself now so if that was nine

22:11

grand for the pain of glass this entire

22:14

uh

22:16

set up here must have been uh 30 35 20.

22:20

what how if you spent nine on that piece

22:22

of glass there's no way the shower pan

22:25

it was about 20 to 25 i don't know off

22:27

the top

22:28

25. wow

22:29

i'm just really impressed it's expensive

22:31

because it looks way more but tell me

22:33

this

22:34

the value that you get for the house and

22:37

where you should spend the most money on

22:38

a remodel is the kitchen and the basket

22:40

the bathroom right

22:42

and the bed it's once you get past paint

22:43

and carpet

22:45

but primary bedroom yes yes it is where

22:48

you get most of the return which i'm not

22:50

saying i'm gonna get a return on this

22:52

but so

22:53

what did you pay for it for what the

22:55

house entirely yes seven hundred thirty

22:58

thousand seven thirty and how much did

23:00

you spend in total for the remodel yes

23:03

one fifty one that's not bad that's

23:06

under a million this whole thing for the

23:08

amount of beautiful things that y'all

23:09

have done yeah it feels way more custom

23:12

for sure now how much time did it take

23:14

y'all to plan this because there's some

23:16

really good detail that went into this

23:18

we bought this in february thinking that

23:20

we would be ready to move in by

23:22

april okay and we didn't move in until

23:25

last month whoa

23:27

okay so it took four or five months for

23:29

us to finish this and it's because of

23:31

code supply chain issues everyone was ah

23:34

just it wasn't getting done i mean

23:35

honestly not that horrible uh i mean

23:38

just you you're four or five months i

23:40

mean some people get caught up in

23:41

permits longer than that right they're

23:43

sitting on paperwork i will say i

23:45

learned so much as far as dealing with

23:46

contractors and that business is so

23:48

sketchy oh poor because

23:51

the contractor that i was paying

23:53

wasn't paying his subcontractors oh my

23:56

god and they wouldn't come in and they

23:57

wouldn't do anything and so what i

23:59

learned is i should pay the

24:01

subcontractors directly and give the

24:02

contractor his fee at the end

24:04

and not let him be the money juggler

24:06

because contractors as you know they

24:08

just juggle money from house to house

24:09

sure and sometimes they end up short and

24:11

so you end up suffering

24:12

well what you have in california just

24:15

show how litigious things have gotten

24:16

for this is they will actually uh make

24:20

the any sub who walks into the house

24:22

sign a lien release

24:24

saying that they've been paid by the

24:26

contractor before they can even get work

24:28

so that way the sub can't lean up your

24:30

place right because if the sub doesn't

24:32

get paid by your contractor it's not

24:33

their problem it's your problem because

24:35

they can lean up your house exactly it's

24:37

called a mechanics lien

24:40

it sucks but you got through it i got

24:42

through it okay i'm sorry to deal with

24:43

the stress of that guy

24:45

but anyway so they come on in and this

24:47

is the closet here which is actually

24:48

bigger than any of the guest bedrooms

24:51

we don't need it to be that size don't

24:53

tell anyone it just is that big but this

24:56

is the closet right here

24:58

this is definitely two of my studios

25:00

this is two of yeah kevin's studios

25:03

i'm just blown away i mean the

25:04

functionality of your house is is

25:10

this is 10x what i was expecting right

25:12

because i think you got so much value

25:15

out of the things the decisions you made

25:18

you spend money like you said kitchen's

25:19

bath but you saved money where you

25:22

should on light fixtures and furniture

25:24

and i imagine rugs or other things

25:26

because you shopped well right so what

25:28

got like

25:30

how did you know where to shop just

25:31

youtube yeah oh my gosh there are

25:33

incredible youtubers who do restoration

25:36

hardware dupes design and i i kid you

25:39

not watch those youtubers for a month

25:41

wow like just i did homework and i just

25:43

became a designer and i was like okay i

25:45

kind of get the language

25:47

of contrast of design of staging of all

25:49

this stuff and

25:51

it's not that difficult to recreate did

25:53

you do it or a quarry or together i was

25:55

kind of running all the decisions by

25:57

cory i was like corey what do you think

25:58

about this and she would say i like this

25:59

but mostly it was just me

26:02

obsessing

26:03

dozens of hours on youtube that's

26:05

incredible see that's a lot of people

26:07

they they talk smack about youtube

26:09

before they actually use it right you

26:11

know but like

26:12

youtube is so incredible the stuff that

26:14

you can learn the perspective you can

26:15

get so good job man yeah so we put a

26:17

door right here on the closet so because

26:19

it's kind of a long walk to go all the

26:20

way around this thing was a part of the

26:23

extension of these shelves and so we

26:26

removed this middle section and we put a

26:28

door so that in case you forget

26:29

something you can just come out here and

26:31

now you're in the den

26:32

and now you can just

26:35

come here and now we can go downstairs

26:36

and now we go downstairs what's in your

26:38

vault room my vault oh that room that's

26:41

secret stuff

26:43

so this is the play area right here this

26:45

is our theater right here movie theater

26:48

for one

26:49

this is incredible okay you gotta tell

26:51

me about this this is like a

26:53

car converted to bench

26:56

yeah that's so cool so what is this

26:58

thing and where did you get

27:00

how many tens of thousands of dollars

27:02

this was 800

27:03

shut up people spend eight hundred

27:05

dollars on just a generic couch at

27:07

target yeah and you're telling me this

27:09

fancy thing here it is 800 i don't

27:12

remember the website but i could give it

27:13

to you later but it was a really cool

27:15

deal i'm just gonna sit here and do this

27:17

because it feels really cool look at

27:19

that giant bean bag though it's bigger

27:21

than grams

27:25

okay we've got the big orange one this

27:27

is like twice as big but here's what's

27:28

interesting as with many things at

27:30

andre's place

27:32

here's what's interesting the pool table

27:34

came with the house the shuffleboard

27:35

table came with the house

27:37

the tv with the audio came with the

27:39

house

27:40

um

27:41

you got so many good upgrades for

27:44

freebies yeah yeah it's incredible so by

27:46

the way this furniture out here was

27:48

supposed to be in the backyard right

27:50

here but we're remodeling the floor

27:53

oh you can ship it all out yeah we're

27:55

gonna chip it out and put some white

27:56

tile like it is upstairs which i'll show

27:58

you

27:59

but uh do you want to see this on you

28:01

have a sauna this is this is where the

28:03

podcast is going to happen in the song

28:05

in the song

28:07

inspired by the hot ones it's going to

28:09

be the

28:10

steam room with andre it's all going to

28:12

get filmed in there it's going to be

28:13

called sweat talk

28:15

every question gets hotter and hotter

28:18

turn up a degree every question yeah so

28:20

this is uh tory's dad built this for us

28:22

as well

28:23

[Music]

28:24

oh my gosh

28:25

wait so oh it's hot here yeah

28:27

actually he's actually getting gonna get

28:29

him a sauna before you came and you're

28:30

like i'm coming i was like all right

28:31

never mind

28:32

so you just keep it on

28:35

oh you just turned it on i just turned

28:36

it off when you came oh gotcha okay this

28:38

is amazing

28:40

uh cedar lined

28:41

it's beautiful yeah

28:44

so your dad out of this cory's dad did

28:46

this

28:47

yeah just like how did you think i'm

28:49

gonna add a sauna in this we had this

28:51

extras closet space which i didn't need

28:53

because there's another one like it

28:54

that's even bigger right there so let's

28:55

just put a sauna yeah let's just put a

28:57

sauna because i'm russian and i can't

28:58

help myself

29:00

there was a giant water fountain right

29:02

here which we took out i didn't need it

29:03

i just want a flat plain like just

29:06

i'm impressed man i thought i was going

29:08

to be able to get angry at you but i'm

29:13

and this you got like how much for this

29:15

traffic light

29:17

it was a lot it was 800

29:19

that's not a lot for what it is that's a

29:21

real that's a real that's what i'm

29:23

saying it's like amazing yeah like i

29:26

would expect this to be like one of

29:27

those five grand art pieces right right

29:29

no that's from a vintage shop that just

29:31

sells antiques oh my god this is an etsy

29:34

bar which i got from etsy which is the

29:36

coolest thing ever it is so cool how

29:38

much was this this was a 150 dollars

29:44

he is a good shopper that is really

29:47

impressive yeah like i'm losing my voice

29:49

over how excited i'm getting out of

29:51

these shopping deals yeah you could

29:53

create a whole channel about how you got

29:55

these deals yeah i'm really frugal when

29:57

it comes to shopping and i will which is

29:59

not cool because i probably spend more

30:01

money than it would just take me to just

30:03

work and get the extra money to buy the

30:04

real thing no but i will go obsessively

30:07

over just where can i get the ten

30:09

percent discount yeah it's it's just

30:11

it's painful to spend like why spend

30:14

four or five grand on that traffic light

30:15

if you can get it for eight right you

30:16

know like that's and that's money that

30:19

you're

30:21

it's like a few videos that you don't

30:23

have to make exactly exactly you know so

30:25

me on the other hand i gotta make six

30:27

videos a day

30:28

this this this room is a full shower

30:31

full bath so this right here is a full

30:32

bathroom nice didn't do anything here

30:35

this is how it came

30:37

so downstairs i come here in the

30:39

mornings i get ready and then i start to

30:42

shoot my videos which i shoot right here

30:45

oh my gosh what is this handle

30:48

holy smokes that is very nice my secret

30:51

bookshelf opener which came with the

30:53

house

30:54

that's another upgrade no yeah i didn't

30:56

do anything this came with a house you

30:58

see good man

30:59

oh i'm going through a charizard car on

31:01

the floor how much was the charizard

31:03

rock was a hundred dollars

trick where i start my magic trick right

31:30

31:33

second set we're actually the third set

31:34

which i've never utilized yet i want to

31:36

utilize it i don't know how okay how

31:38

much was this this was free

31:42

yeah normally this retails for ten

31:44

thousand dollars this is the most

31:46

painful walkthrough i've ever done

31:47

because you were so good at getting

31:49

these things thank you uh like graham

31:51

can't hold a candle to you in terms of

31:53

the deals you're getting on this stuff

31:55

don't tell myself

31:57

we're putting that in the video

31:59

so this is a thing i did as a trade so

32:01

when i was broke i was a really talented

32:04

videographer and i traded services with

32:08

an artist that did this and i said hey

32:09

i'll do videos for your art i loved your

32:11

art pieces i can't afford this ten

32:13

thousand dollar table and he's like hey

32:14

i'll give it to you if you can make me a

32:16

couple videos and that's what we did

32:18

that's brilliant yeah and i just i love

32:20

it i've had this for for over 10 years

32:22

now this table wow

32:24

keep this forever this is so cool yeah

32:27

if your door is it's all made out of

32:28

wood

32:30

this is all made out of this wait the

32:31

gears everything no way the only thing

32:33

that's not are these rivets right here

32:34

the metal wow but everything else is

32:36

wood

32:38

i'm impressed

32:40

away

32:44

yeah they like twist and turn it's

32:46

pretty cool wow and so you have pokemon

32:49

oh you gotta see this if you're a

32:50

pokemon nerd oh my gosh this is a 10

32:53

base set star so this is a uh nine uh so

32:58

this is actually nine unopened ones and

33:00

they're all heavy so if you open one

33:02

guaranteed holographic card from 1998

33:05

which is pretty cool

33:07

but uh i i've we could do a whole nother

33:09

video about my pokemon collection

33:11

because you saw i just recently bought

33:12

that collection uh he opens up a kitchen

33:15

drawer which says we put our bags down

33:16

and just charizards come falling out of

33:18

the drawer like what

33:20

if you guys have a random kitchen drawer

33:22

too it's like what's in the other one if

33:24

you guys are fans of now you see me by

33:25

the way this right here is the hero card

33:28

from the second movie what that

33:30

basically the card that like

33:31

can control the world essentially so i

33:34

consulted on that movie in 2014 which

33:36

was really cool it was like the

33:37

highlight of my life then my life went

33:38

downhill after that yeah right oh my

33:41

gosh

33:42

good job man what a set wow

33:44

three sets in here no do you have air

33:46

conditioning

33:47

i don't i found something he did wrong

33:49

yes

33:50

i

33:53

but he freezes to death in my studio

33:56

it's not a studio it's just a really

33:58

large fridge

33:59

it's a really large freezer

34:02

thank you he keeps it at like i want to

34:04

say 60 right it's like 60 in there yeah

34:08

i get like sniffles in the first few

34:09

minutes of being there because it's just

34:10

so cold

34:12

but yeah that's the second set right

34:13

there and by the way cory's dad also did

34:16

this whole wall so that's one of the

34:17

things we upgraded is this wall so this

34:20

entire wall cost me two thousand dollars

34:22

oh my gosh if you paid a contract for

34:24

this it'd be like 15 grand no way

34:27

yeah it's a big they charge you that

34:29

it's a big wall yeah it wouldn't cost

34:31

them 15 grand but they charge you right

34:33

right right by the way if you're trying

34:35

to do a studio the biggest thing i found

34:36

for sound dampening because this was so

34:38

echoey yeah we put these um panels right

34:41

here because i thought that would dampen

34:42

the sound and make it not less not

34:44

echoey yeah but it was the carpet that

34:46

solved it thick pad carpet here yeah

34:48

that's amazing that that's what makes

34:50

the audio sound good it sounds excellent

34:52

and what does this fancy like lighting

34:53

charge these are called nano led lights

34:56

so i really like them so you can puzzle

34:58

them together yeah any shape you want oh

35:00

my gosh how much are they they're kind

35:02

of expensive i want to say they're like

35:04

150

35:05

dollars for that wow okay that's

35:07

expensive for like for what it is that's

35:09

expensive but for the little but it's a

35:10

write-off it's a studio it's part of my

35:12

business so it just looks i mean this

35:13

whole property is your studio yeah

35:16

i'm actually expensing most of it you

35:18

should i mean the amount of tours and

35:21

videos you've made out of it absolutely

35:22

it makes sense absolutely yeah so uh

35:25

that set is for

35:27

just like so sometimes you're there yeah

35:29

so i will shoot half my videos here and

35:31

the other half right here next to these

35:33

shoes yeah and what's really cool is

35:36

because i'm here and there's no natural

35:38

light i solved it with a magic trick

35:41

because

35:42

this right here

35:44

does not work wait let me plug it in

35:46

yeah always plug it in first

35:48

all right so check this out

35:50

so this is bouncing off of that mirror

35:52

through here to create an artificial

35:54

window so when i'm sitting

35:56

it looks like i've got sunlight and it

35:58

just looks really nice because when i

35:59

turn the rest of the lights on it just

36:02

give me some hair light

36:03

let's see

36:06

all right well that's not working right

36:07

now when i needed to anyway got some

36:09

hair light got my camera and it just

36:11

looks really nice with the with the

36:13

window light you and you have this

36:15

incredible rack here that is holding a

36:17

mirror

36:19

oh my gosh it's a mirror

36:23

it is really in here so one key lighting

36:26

technique is just to reflect light off

36:28

of shiny surfaces because that's what

36:30

sunlight does in natural light it

36:32

reflects off of surfaces

36:34

anyway it's a cool little great job yeah

36:36

very cool okay so what did i miss

36:38

because you i mean with the exception of

36:40

these shoes what's the story with these

36:41

shoes oh i was given these from somebody

36:43

who owns a shoe shop and they were like

36:45

hey could you just give me a shout out

36:47

and this is from the back to the future

36:49

oh my gosh

36:53

i'm just embarrassed this is so nice and

36:54

then you just got this i did no i had

36:57

this i bought this originally for two

36:59

grand and i think at the peak they were

37:01

like selling for like eight i think

37:02

graham bought his for like four he

37:04

copied me i was first oh that this is

37:06

what graham has in the hallway oh but

37:07

you also just bought a big pack yes so i

37:10

have like a whole crazy set there so you

37:12

have more that's another video that's my

37:14

alternative investment yellow thing

37:15

which could be a separate video that's

37:17

amazing yeah and this by the way i put

37:19

here just to cover my electric fuse box

37:21

because oh smart i just don't like that

37:23

37:26

what that hinge in that's brilliant

here that was not smart purchase was

38:22

this kind of centerpiece here which was

38:25

by an artist oh my god and it kind of

38:27

like

38:28

it just

38:29

it's a halo light and it's a little art

38:32

piece that i probably spent more money

38:33

than i should have but it's going to end

38:35

up being like 150 dollars

38:38

this was three grand okay so there's one

38:41

thing in your house that you spend a lot

38:42

of yeah relative yeah oh my gosh uh okay

38:46

what if i missed because this is so

38:48

impressive i think you've done a

38:50

phenomenal job i actually think for 150

38:53

grand you did a three to four hundred

38:56

thousand dollar renovation really

38:58

renovation and staging job combined if

39:00

you hired a designer to do this

39:03

400k wow good job oh thank you

39:05

appreciate it yeah that's there is

39:08

there are parts of this house that have

39:09

secret doors and rooms that i haven't

39:11

shown that i don't want shown because

39:13

it's like my secret area wow there are

39:16

no more secrets so you i mean because

39:18

you showed me a secret sound booth a

39:19

secret sauna a secret library yeah and

39:22

now you're telling me there are even

39:23

more secrets there are more wow

39:30

oh yeah okay

39:31

all right let's do it

39:32

all right so we're here in the backyard

39:34

and i see these massive motors on these

39:36

windows for these huge windows here both

39:40

up and down yeah including this little

39:42

door you weren't kidding that every

39:45

single thing

39:46

it's crazy i'm blown away i mean that

39:48

that alone makes this like an under

39:50

market deal yeah this is so incredible

39:53

so this is what we switched right here

39:54

this was kind of old if you look down i

39:57

don't know if you can pan down or not

39:58

but there's this stone that that's what

40:00

was here which we changed which we're

40:02

changing down there as well this is

40:04

actually porcelain

40:06

and it's probably the most expensive

40:07

thing in this backyard including that

40:09

cedar back wall right there

40:11

this accent wall

40:13

this is gorgeous and nobody's got to

40:15

come mow back here because you've got

40:17

the

40:17

grass it's smart here in vegas you've

40:19

got it you see it just gets hotter it

40:21

gets so hot everything dies yeah so this

40:24

is nice and we added these little

40:25

squares here which i think look cool

40:27

absolutely yeah beautiful this is really

40:29

and you've got the led lights over here

40:30

yeah we got a little distro lights at

40:33

night we got the little u-pines right

40:35

there on the side and we got lemon trees

40:37

right there

40:38

two lemon trees and i think this is the

40:40

coolest part is like this cedar back it

40:42

is it takes away that because i imagine

40:44

it was this block it was that block here

40:46

yeah this really classes it up because

40:48

when you walk inside you see it you see

40:50

it from the out from the inside of the

40:51

outside and it's just like wow you get

40:53

that warmy home to grass to a nice wood

40:56

panel look yes you get that sort of

40:58

vista look through yeah
