 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 Did to make sure that this place is gonna look freaking awesome So we are gonna take a look through the new house and we are going to let Yvonne tell the story this time and you know it's gonna be a good story because it involves owls Oh and I have some wire and speaker and power supply stuff to update you guys on as well So we're definitely gonna do that too, and we're gonna do it with our sponsor GlassWire, are you lagging out while gaming?

Uh, I mean How did I break? Okay, let's start in the master bathroom. 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 layout 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 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 point seven five I'm pretty sure that's not how you're supposed to use the tub It's gonna be awesome come try it out with me That's a good sized tub It is Yeah it's not bad actually 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 gonna 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- Oh it's hooked up! Okay Thanks So we have what I think are beautiful countertops, but Jake thinks are 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 it was having a really good day They were like off kilter Yeah I mean worst comes to worst 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 Yeah do you think it works? No! 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 We reused the old stuff right? Yeah this looks like you'll have enough room to store your things that you have Yeah Your things 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 You just have to be careful Oi! 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 tile 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 in the bath We put a plug right there and ethernet That's just so that he could have the option of but that doesn't mean you have to exercise that No that's a video Counter-intuitively we actually made the master bedroom smaller as part of our reno 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 they changed the knobs Oh yeah okay cool Yeah They're crooked They are crooked right now so I hope they fix that Yeah well you just tighten them in then Okay Oh my stuff's in too Yeah So this is where 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 was 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 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 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? The ladder? I don't want them too fast 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 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 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 glow in the dark It's not gonna get dark enough in here to be able to see it You might I can almost see it 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 of trees 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 I don't know if this is a very good idea Okay Here 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 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 gonna 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 look at it Did somebody tell the contractors? Because they hung all the cameras Yeah I guess not Like literally everything They literally put the wrong product on every surface of 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 events 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 of 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 ocean-y Because right now it's just one solid color 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 Sea kelp and oh man I'm drawing a blank what are those called? Jellyfish, thank you And then at night they Whale And then she picked her own chandelier which I think is amazing It suits her so well Yeah And of course Clip speakers in every single room they're all in now I think there's 40 speakers This place is gonna be like there's like another six outside Forty six 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 need? 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 gonna be orange We're gonna 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 Cricut? Cry cut? Cricut, Cricut, yeah it's super cute When it was on the ground earlier I thought it was a pangolin 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 You mean electricians? Oh and we did change the lights up here This entire house was like OG fluorescents 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 No no no it was $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 something's 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 25.6 So net exported Oh yeah 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 on the way? Did you just pull it off again? This is new I think since you guys last saw it This is our built in bookshelf Linus' 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 Is 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 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 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 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 And I'm gonna like hit my face on it Who's gonna have a chair like right here What he would do is you would sit down here And then he would lean over for something and then stand up That was the problem It's true I've done that many times Then the Wi-Fi in this place all bars all the time It's not as fast as my Wi-Fi but Ooh everything's in the pantry now If you had asked me to take apart some in closet shelving And then wait a year and try and put it back together 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 Can you stop this 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 Double ovens Hey you laugh but double oven is 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 sick So 65 inch A90J and then I think we're either gonna reuse the old Sonos arc Or that Sony A9HT or whatever it's called The four piece surround thing We should definitely do that I think we should do that Did 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 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 almost all of their mirrors to have in mirror light fixtures They knew Okay never mind I was gonna make a joke 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 so inefficient 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 Xacto knife and cut the edge of the tape with a knife You're gonna pull this tape up and it's gonna 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 3.5 inch angled brush Paint you 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 gonna be power in here so if a friend brought over a PlayStation 6 or something You could just plunk it here There'll be an extra HDMI cable to the receiver that's just like in a hole in here Just pull that up and you're ready to go But dude it is so dark in here now Yes thank you Linus told me This is not dark enough though Oh my gosh This is gray Why is it gray? Because I was told that gray was fine That's not black But guess what Jake and I have already reached out to the makers of black 3.0 And we are gonna take it to literally a void Yvonne I don't know why but she was super into the idea of kind of brown carpet I was not into the idea of brown carpet 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' room have fun Cool let's change the carpet I don't know if I want to spend the money Cool I'll change the carpet Oh my gosh Jake Jake and I are debating the desk colors in here He wants to do black legs white tops with black chairs with red lighting And I'm thinking that that sounds horrible Well the walls are already blue I do agree we should actually like dye the black Okay you told me it wasn't gonna be a big deal when I suggest I thought we were getting the same chairs as Sarah Yeah well Those look awesome She vetoed that that's not my fault What? Because it was white cloth and the cat is just gonna tear that apart I think we should go natural wood finish for the desks in here Eww 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 dye to threads? Sure What? I don't care how long it takes I'm not gonna be doing it Wait what? I'm not too 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 gonna be darker So I think that's gonna 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 out too much I don't think it sticks out Do you think this works? Okay I'm not a 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 Cause like that is so dark You were the one that suggested white I said white most places Can't even see the moldings cause it's just so putridly white I wanted 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 not at 4K 120 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 I just 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 5 kilowatt UPS Oh really? But it's 208 volt You 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 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 $10,000 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 billing you with our 2022 rates not the rates that we had you know You 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 I'd say like 8-10 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 settle 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 Well I can What? Well you don't dive straight in Yeah but still Some people just need to learn how to swim properly Some people just Whoa! Do you want to see the finishes for the pool? Are they gonna be dirty like the countertop? This is the band that's gonna go all the way around and then it's going to be the stone scape material all down the side and under Yeah And then the hot tub is gonna be these two It's not dirty come on Yeah Looks nice That one looks pretty dirty Oh Wait no we're not done yet Jake check this out Don't stand on the We haven't shown these yet Thanks Clipsh 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? Uh wait wait Maybe one zone up there and one zone down Okay whatever it's your house I don't care Three zones Have over it And three segues to our sponsor And this is a segue to our sponsor Do I have to do it really?
