|

that best suitsyour lifestyle.

|
| 00:00:15 | Yeah, what $10,000 gets you.yeah.
|
| 00:00:17 | And you are repayingthat $10,000 in 10 months.
|
| 00:00:18 | Yeah.
|
| 00:00:21 | and ten months from now,all that renovation
is free.

|

|
| 00:00:27 | The floor plan of elliot's apartment isn't
changing,
so it's difficult to envision the transformation
just by looking at the blueprints.
|
| 00:00:34 | Here's what I'm thinking.
|
| 00:00:35 | What I'd like to do is rip out this primitive
kitchen
and level out that bulky back wall.
|
| 00:00:40 | Now I can put in brand-new upper and lower
cabinets,
a solid surface counter,
and I'm gonna leave enough space for a full-size
oven.
|
| 00:00:48 | The shack in the back needs a lot of work.
|
| 00:00:50 | I want to reframe this whole room, insulate,
drywall and put down new laminate flooring.
|
| 00:00:55 | There's room for a nice bright window,
and I'm gonna replace the front door
with a nice exterior door with proper security.
|
| 00:01:02 | Now this'll act as a dedicated entrance for
the tenant
leading into a brand-new apartment.
|
| 00:01:07 | Elliot can stop spending all his money on
this house,
and he can actually start making money.

|
| 00:02:22 | You can see the pipes come out of the ground.

| 00:02:25 | Because there's no heat in here,
they froze in the wall a couple of weeks
ago,
and all this got flooded.

|
| 00:02:36 | In a situation where you're renting out a
space,
you can't afford to take those kind of chances.
|
| 00:02:40 | You have to have everything done,
and you have to have everything done properly.
|
| 00:02:43 | You can't have leaking faucets and broken

your tenants to leave or not pay rent

future.

value.

times,
and he thinks it's only gonna be a few hundred

was only gonna be a few thousand dollars,

is the kitchen.

| 00:19:22 | he came here himselfto see what we were
doing.
|
| 00:19:25 | Knowing that you boughtthe house for $290,000,
he said it would befairly reasonable to say
this house could sell for $400,000,
and that was without even seeing what was
going on upstairs.
|
| 00:19:36 | Wow. oh, really?
|
| 00:19:37 | Yeah. wow.
|
| 00:19:38 | I'm a real estate agent, so I'm not
that surprised.
|
| 00:19:41 | But, yeah, I agree with him. I concur.
|
| 00:19:45 | "
well, at this point,
the last thing to do is to rent it.

two children.
|
| 00:20:50 | Now they love their master suite,
but they haven't had time
so the room remains, well, blank.
|
| 00:20:57 | No pun intended.
|
| 00:20:58 | Now david really wants to give michelle
the luxurious master bedroom retreat that
she deserves.
|
| 00:21:03 | But they won't budge from their $6,000 budget,
which is why I am here.
|
| 00:21:12 | Wow, you guys havea great design sensibility.
|
| 00:21:15 | You definitely lovethese warmer earth tones.
|
| 00:21:16 | (David) THANK YOU.
|
| 00:21:19 | What are these over here?
|
| 00:21:21 | Those are photos we took fromour honeymoon
in south africa.
|
| 00:21:25 | Now obviously this wasan inspiration for
you
because this is a focal point in your room.
|
| 00:21:30 | We're gonna do thatin your bedroom as well.
|
| 00:21:31 | Terrific.
|
| 00:21:32 | so I'd like to see your bedroom
because that's why I'm here, right? yes.
|
| 00:21:35 | Come on.
|
| 00:21:38 | Okay. cool.
|
| 00:21:39 | Wow! this room has so much potential.
|
| 00:21:42 | It's so light and airy and big in here.
|
| 00:21:45 | (Michelle) THANKS.(David) THANK YOU.
|
| 00:21:46 | So, guys, tell me what it is that inspires
you.
|
| 00:21:50 | It's that south africa trip.
|
| 00:21:51 | It was the tripof our lifetime.
|
| 00:21:53 | And we stayedat this 5-star hotel.
|
| 00:21:55 | It was absolutely amazing.
|
| 00:21:57 | So we want to make sure we give you that
feeling
that you're entering this gorgeous 5-star
hotel
where you guys stayed.
|
| 00:22:03 | Tell me what you dislike about your bedroom.
|
| 00:22:08 | I don't like the white walls.
|
| 00:22:10 | It just feels so empty in here,
it doesn't
feel homey.
|
| 00:22:15 | we're
busy professionals,
and when we come home,we tend to our children.
|
| 00:22:21 | Let's go. let's go.
|
| 00:22:22 | The last thing we have time to do is to decorate.
|
| 00:22:25 | It's not the first time I've heard this story.
|
| 00:22:28 | The kids' rooms are done, they're all set,
and our room was left for last.
|
| 00:22:33 | I see, though, you have a little bit
of a mismatched furniture selection going
on.
|
| 00:22:40 | This was my furniture frommy first apartment
in atlanta.
|
| 00:22:43 | I don't even
like it.
|
| 00:22:46 | I don't like the way the tv sticks out.
|
| 00:22:49 | I think it's just bulky and ugly.
|
| 00:22:50 | My older sister had this piece of furniture.
|
| 00:22:53 | It's not working. I'm not attached to it.
|
| 00:22:55 | I heard you paid $5for this headboard, which
i--
it really excites me. that's amazing.
|
| 00:00:00 | Land in a sustainable way
that allows us to keep producing
healthy, nutritious, pesticide-free food.
|
| 00:00:07 | (woman) THE COMMUNITY CAN COME TO THE FARM,
So they can see where their food is grown,
how it's growing.
|
| 00:00:12 | They can pick their own,
and then we also sell it at amagansett farmers'
market
and other farmers' markets in the area.
|
| 00:00:18 | They actually met as farm apprentices,
and they started the organic farm this year,
and it's so cool,
because it's a nonprofit
community-supported agriculture,
and it's also an education project.
|
| 00:00:29 | (Amanda) WHEN WE PACK THE BASKETS,
We think about what things are in season,
whether it's fall greens or tomatoes or lettuces
or sweet potatoes or whatever it is that's
in season.
|
| 00:00:38 | It's a nice way to educate the community
about what's growing right now.
|
| 00:00:41 | I heard about them from my friend eli zabar,
because the farm is right behind
his amagansett farmers' market.
|
| 00:00:47 | He sells their produce, and he also gives
everybody
two loaves of his fabulous home-baked bread
in each of the farm boxes.
|
| 00:00:53 | I really try to use everything that they
put in the box.
|
| 00:00:57 | Recently I've been getting greens
like bok choy, eggplants,
all different kinds, all different colors.
|
| 00:01:03 | Green beans and purple beans.
|
| 00:01:05 | I love the purple beans.
|
| 00:01:07 | And in the fall there are pumpkins
and winter squash.
|
| 00:01:11 | They're all so beautiful,
and they all have so much flavor.
|
| 00:01:14 | Okay, that's 2 pounds of tomatoes cut up.
|
| 00:01:17 | And the bread's starting to smell delicious.
|
| 00:01:21 | Oh, perfect, just lightly toasted.
|
| 00:01:23 | You just want them a little crisp.
|
| 00:01:26 | And in go the tomatoes.
|
| 00:01:33 | Okay, the next thing
is a tablespoon of the chopped garlic.
|
| 00:01:37 | 2 Tablespoons of sugar,
all that really doesis just caramelize the
tomatoes,
gives 'em great flavor.
|
| 00:01:46 | 2 Teaspoons of salt,
1 teaspoon of pepper.
|
| 00:01:53 | And just stir it all together.
|
| 00:01:59 | Okay, next--lots of fresh basil.
|
| 00:02:02 | Mmm. it is my favorite. I love it.
|
| 00:02:05 | Just give it a big wash.
|
| 00:02:08 | ..
|
| 00:02:14 | But I know I'm gonna put in more.
|
| 00:02:19 | Doesn't have to be perfect.
|
| 00:02:23 | I think that's more than 1/2 a cup,
but it's gonna be delicious.
|
| 00:02:26 | So I think the tomatoes are done.
|
| 00:02:29 | Mmm. that's great.
|
| 00:02:29 | You can really see that the bread absorbed
all those tomato juices.
|
| 00:02:33 | Now off the heat, I'm gonna add the basil.
|
| 00:02:36 | Just put it right on top.
|
| 00:02:37 | Just give it a big stir in.
|
| 00:02:41 | How good does that look already?
|
| 00:02:44 | Okay, this is the gratin part.
|
| 00:02:47 | So I'm using a big gratin dish.
|
| 00:02:49 | I'm just gonna pour the whole thing right
into the dish.
|
| 00:02:55 | And then I'm gonna put a cupof parmesan cheese
right on top.
|
| 00:03:00 | Okay, lots of parmesan cheese.
|
| 00:03:04 | And just the last thing for flavor
is 2 tablespoons of olive oil, just drizzle
it right on top.
|
| 00:03:14 | And into the oven at 350 degrees
for about 35 minutes
until it's bubbly and browned.
|
| 00:03:21 | This smells so delicious. bubbly and hot.
|
| 00:03:25 | I just have to make sure it tastes good.
|
| 00:03:27 | It's all the tomatoes and, ooh, all the juices,
parmesan.
|
| 00:03:32 | It's gonna be really hot.
|
| 00:03:36 | That's so good.
|
| 00:03:37 | And it's great with anything
or all by itself for lunch.
|
| 00:03:41 | Okay, that's part one of my farm stand challenge.
