this is us entering our house with the keys for the first time looks like you're ready
jess i am ready are you happy that we bought a garage that also has a house
scott brown here we bought a house this one right here built in 1962 and in today's exciting episode
we're going to take a look at it do you want to be in the shop juice or not okay
look at these 70s 60s switches what do you think of the place juice it's owls
rave review might be a bit of a [ __ ] but it's out
um if you missed the last couple of episodes we have moved to nelson it's an old house i
said it was built in 1962. they've renovated some things since then but it needs a lot more
work this 1970s kitchen there's something i like about it that i can't quite put my finger on but
it needs to go it needs to be replaced this bathroom is an 80s renovation it's terrible we're
gonna destroy it this laundry is a ridiculous use of space we're gonna have to change this as
well this conservatory here is blocking access to the backyard and it looks kind of strange
we're gonna have to remove that and this is the backyard that it has access to
and it's totally overgrown so jess and i are gonna have to come here and try and clear it out
wish me luck
and this garage here i have a double garage the ceiling is a little low and it's a little run
down but i don't care i've got a double garage it's twice the size of that storage container
that i was using as a garage back in auckland it already has some shelves over there it has power
and it has a lot of space so this is going to be super handy when we go to do all the renovation
work inside it gives us somewhere to set up saws materials and build things for the house
i'm very excited about the garage so there's a heck of a lot of work to be done at this place the
yard is gigantic we've been living an apartment for five years and now all of a sudden we'll
be mowing lawns i mean we have a fireplace that we're not allowed to use so we have to figure out
heating this is going to be you okay there you go sorry there's going to be a lot of work to do here
and do i have to wait uh yeah i've just gotta film the ad i'm just gonna film the squarespace thing
this video is brought to you by squarespace squarespace is an all-in-one platform to build
your online presence and run your business and clearly we have a lot of work to do here we're
going to spend the next couple of months working on this but we're going to have to set up our
business here in nelson make it clear that we are now in this area and we'll do that with our
website squarespace has been great to set up a professional looking website for us two people
who don't have any website building experience you can position their galleries and portfolios any
way you like on a website basically the platform is super simple to use and it looks really good
so if you need to build a website for your business uh squarespace make it super easy and
they also have a free trial so you have absolutely nothing to lose and after that trial if you're
ready to go and officially launch the website you can go to squarespace.com forward slash scott
brown carpentry to get 10 off your first purchase of a website or domain so yeah squarespace check
it out um these integrations really help us especially with what we're doing now
now not to plan to any gender stereotypes jess but what do you think of your new kitchen yeah
that's great um i mean i'll be making coffee in here you're doing a lot more than that
yeah no it's fine um the issue is that the oven is rusted through as is a cooktop so
we don't actually technically have a kitchen right now oh we've got a sink yeah there you
go and also um a friend down here is really kindly lending us their portable electric
elements so probably even boil water for pasta we'll be fine yeah i'm gutted i
won't be able to use that mo fat gourmet 2000. looks like a fine piece of cookware
do you feel like you're home
it's like i never lived look at that here what are you talking about you know the
one reason i'm wearing this makita hat is this locked down haircut or lack of lock down here
is that the smell of roasting peanuts oh my god peanut butter land
right there the peanut butter that jess and i eat every day is made right there and it
smells amazing like roasted peanuts anyway um the renovations that we plan to do are going to be
extensive you saw that kitchen you saw that bathroom but at first i always feel like it's
a good idea to live in a house before you decide how you're going to renovate the house you get a
sort of idea of like how you use it you know what annoying corner you have to keep walking around
where you wish you had a door that kind of thing but at this early stage we can
spruce the place up with some paint
you don't mind if we just look at toast for a little while dude
no come in
today during smoker time we have a sourdough sandwich with marmite and cheese tasty cheddar
for a beverage we've chosen h2o you can't beat h2o
tell you what i am looking forward to and that is my van
the van is still in transit down from auckland we decided to get it sent on a truck rather than
i don't know splitting up and having one person in one car one person in the other
and then worrying about the van all the way down filled with tools
so it's coming down separately what that means is i have a very limited amount of tools
but it should be enough for the kind of jobs that we're doing right now
we still want these but uh we want to
paint that gross looking wall there before we put sheets in the cupboard
how's it looking it just oh
years of probably smoking i guess yeah there's i don't know if you already said the house has got
quite a strong cigarette smell so we're mopping all the walls in the ceiling and then we've also
had the cup okay i think i think the carpet clean really helped it's working i can still
smell it but maybe not as strong yeah i guess time will tell these ceilings need to change
too i think the whole house needs to change i don't think there's one thing that we will keep
i think this is looking a bit cleaner nice not as many stains just about
what do you think jess looks very secure scott do you think it's um quite old-fashioned to have
a little gold chain well we we chose gold because it looked very similar
this is what we were talking about when we're saying we want to keep the character right
because i was actually kidding before when i said
yeah i was actually kidding before when i said you wanted to renovate
this place is perfect we love it exactly as it is
it's a work of art exactly
who are we to judge right whatever we do to it may be out of fashion in 10 years
people might be watching these youtube videos of us renovating and thinking oh
my god look what they're putting on why would they paint that color why would they do that
i actually had the same conversation with the women at playstation this morning
yeah about exactly that i said what's the thing in 40 years time
that we think looks nice the future generations are gonna say what the hell were they thinking
and we've got youtube to amplify the shame
he's making a fortress is the answer look at that and being a
tribal fortune no one's ever getting in there just
there's johnny can you let me inhale please that's okay
you
