EP 07: Huge Update - 2nd Floor Goes Up
youtu.be
We finally have our 2nd floor up, exciting to see my house come together after so many delays. Check out the cathedral trusses, this is going to look awesome...
When you’re finishing a basement, low ceilings and ductwork can be a real challenge.
Sure, you can build bulkheads with drywall—but I like using full-height cabinetry instead. It hides mechanical systems like pipes and wires, keeps things looking clean, and adds extra storage.
The cabinets create a streamlined look, reduce clutter, and keep sharp or electrical components safely out of reach.
Plus, they make maintenance easier by giving you quick access when you need it.
Smart, safe, and good-looking—just how I like it.
At Stokely and Patrick’s home, the previous contractor’s window well didn’t cut it. It was too small and didn’t meet code. So we fixed it the right way — expanded the well, added gravel for drainage, reinforced it with pressure-treated posts, and installed a railing for extra safety.
When it comes to emergency exits, there’s no room for shortcuts. Safety always comes first.
Catch the action and transformation on WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, AT 9 PM ET/PT on HGTV US!
Best part is the homeowners can easily change the access code right from their Schlage Home app so they don't have to worry anyone who shouldn't have access can get in. They'll also get notifications right on their phone any time the door is locked or unlocked —or even if there is an unwanted guest trying to get in so they have time to call for help.
