REV RUN: Next on "Rev Run's Renovation"...
I'm turning this beat-up Jacuzzi into a fly indoor spa.
It's a lot of money, and I know how --
Joe.
Is Justine hating on my plans gonna ruin my game?
You have on high-heeled shoes. You're gonna hurt yourself.
We ran into the stairs.
More money.
REV RUN: Four, three, two, run.
Welcome to our home. Come on in.
I live in this house with my beautiful wife, Justine.
We haven't changed this house since we moved in.
JUSTINE: I could just knock this off with my heel.
Every time you're doing a renovation,
it comes with a price.
You know what you do like?
Don't let me confuse you.
REV RUN: We have the best contractor.
This is a lazy susan we're gonna be abusin'.
I like Joe.
We've got the best architect. We got everything.
JUSTINE: I'm like that hands-on type of woman.
Oh. Oh, snap.
My husband, he's all talk.
I am the foreman on this job.
I'm in charge of the budget,
and she's thinking of all this crazy stuff.
I would like a rock wall.
It's a castle bed and she can
walk up one side and slide down the other.
Pray for the reverend.

Matt?
What's up?
Let's try to turn it on.
There's a beef with this room.
Number-one beef about this room is that this does not work.
Turn it on.
[ Click ]
Try it again.
[ Click ]
[ Sighs ]
Number two, the whole room needs a re-fixing
without getting my wife upset that I'm spending up
most of the budget on something that's mine.
REV RUN: We got to take this out of here.
I'm gonna knock all of this down.
I want to knock down the whole deck.
I walked into a war zone.
Okay, so, what are you trying to do in here, Joe?
This is a big one.
I want to turn this into an indoor pool.
Did he just say what I think he just said?
REV RUN: So, yeah, I love this hot tub,
but I got to get it out of here, completely gut this room,
build an indoor pool, got to blow out these walls,
floor-to-ceiling glass walls that open up to the outside.
It's gonna be fly.
It's a lot of money, and I know how you --
No, it's not. It's -- It's -- It's --
Joe.
This room is in desperate need of a makeover,
but my idea is to make
a beautiful, you know, Jacuzzi room.
Combat with my wife happens,
and we've got to come to the conclusion
that my serenity matters.
My Zen feeling is important.
What he's talking about, you're talking $200,000.
REV RUN: For this one, I'm focused.
I'm gonna win.
And see, what I don't like is, when you want something,
then you don't care what the price is.
No, I care.
I just don't think it's gonna be a lot
to knock it down and put in an indoor pool.
Joe, I wish you could have that, but you can't.
I feel for him. I do.
He loves the water,
but Joey only cares about a budget when I'm doing a room.
When he's doing a room, there's no budget.
It's not gonna happen!
It's gonna happen.
REV RUN: I had to call my man from Cipriano.
My wife don't think we need or can pull off an indoor pool,
but when she sees Chris' work [scoffs] she's gonna flip.
Watch this.
Let me grab the storyboards and put them up.
So, these are the fiber-optic star lights
on the bottom of the pool.
They glitter, they shimmer, and --
They can change,
or you can program it just to the specific color you want.
JUSTINE: I walk in my kitchen -- unbelievable!
So now he already brings a pool guy in without my permission.
I thought we were supposed to be, you know,
this is supposed to be give and take here.
Where's the -- Where's the give?
He can figure out how to make my pool work within my budget.
Mm.
And boom, batter, da-datter, that's the fact of the matter.
Civil.
Circumference.
Cocoon.
No.
It's always something.
If it ain't one thing, it's another.
At the end of the day, I'm dreaming,
and she can't kill my vibe.
You know what I don't like?
You know what I don't like?
You know what stuff that I don't like?
You know what I don't...
What I don't like.
You messed me up.
I will continue to do it until I get what I want.
You know what I --
CHRIS: I know we can pull it together and make it happen.
Gonna go take her up to see one of our projects.
It's a beautiful glass-tile violin pool.
Maybe she can get excited,
and we can get her to want to do the project.
I love you more.
I'm gonna get my way at the end.
I think.
Probably.
So, yeah, we're here in Westchester,
getting ready to go in and see my man Chris.
He built a pool here.
Let's see what this looks like. I bet it's fly.
Let's see what Cipriano's got for us.
Oh, my gosh!
JUSTINE: Whoa!
I never seen nothing like this in my life!
Rock-star stuff for the rock star, right?
This is impressive.
What's the Jacuzzi supposed to be?
The chin rest.
Chris.
CHRIS: We want to inspire Justine.
You know, she's still on the fence,
so I think this is the job to show her.
This is so beautiful! I want to cry!
CHRIS: You want to come inside
and I'll just show you some of the features?
Where? Inside what?
Come inside the pool.
Oh, look at these colors!
Feeling like I'm swimming. Oh, my gosh.
And then if you look at the tile,
it starts red in the center,
and then as you work away, it turns brown,
so it gradates out.
So, Joey [sighs] he kind of wins this one.
Awesome!
REV RUN: So, as you see,
she's in the groove about getting this pool, right?
Speakers under the water, fiber optics.
Yeah, I see where this is going,
and I see where I can go with this.
I'm getting out.
I don't want to be in the pool.
Joey is looking a little pool-envy here.
So, when you fill this, you're coming to my house?
I'm gonna be there.
With flames.
Definitely is swag.
[ Telephone ringing ]
JUSTINE: Because of zoning laws,
we cannot get this amazing indoor pool.
Now I have to be the one who tells my husband.
[ Telephone ringing ]
Hello?
You're kidding me.
So, I got news from J.R.
He's saying because of zoning laws in our town,
we cannot get this amazing indoor pool.
At all? We can't extend the Jacuzzi room?
Now I have to be the one who tells my husband,
and I don't think he's gonna take this well at all.
You can't have the pool you want.
All right, I'm gonna get a pool.
But I'm gonna give you your pool you want.
I'm in my zone.
Here's your pool that I made you because --
Oh, you're trying to be funny now.
REV RUN: It ain't going down like that.
Let me tell you what's gonna happen.
There's gonna be a pool in here.
Got an orange towel and a fake cup, got the ball.
And I did hot water 'cause you like hot.
Don't make that noise.
[ Laughs ]
I couldn't fit my foot in there.
But I'm good.
I'm good.
Babe, I love you.
Sorry if you didn't like my joke.
Come back, babe!
I'll get in with you!
Joey, I love you!
So, I called J.R.,
and he might have a good solution to make Joey happy.
He got creative and drew some incredible stuff.
What we have here is...
I have two different directions.
So, this is still a pool.
This is a pool, kind of a spa.
So, we're putting in a large in-ground pool
with an infinity edge, put a huge flat-screen TV on the back.
So, at the end of the day, I'm still on.
I'm happy.
So we don't lose. I win.
We all win.
Let the construction begin.
J.R. Frank comes to the rescue.
JOE: The tub will be the first thing,
then we'll start stripping the interior,
see what it looks like.
Tight. It may fit. It may not.
"Rev Run Renovation" -- What!
We'll take out as many sections as we can,
and then we'll see what's gonna happen from there.
When you look at construction compared to looking at plans,
it's a whole different ballgame.
When the construction starts, it gets real.
I should've had my Wheaties.
Push it out. All right, ready?
Watch your back!
Watch your fingers!
Plant a couple of shrubs around it.
We leave it right where it is.
[ Both laugh ]
So far, some of the plywood is rotting a little by the edge,
but we're gonna have to take part of it out anyway,
and then we'll see what's -- what the rest of it looks like.
We got to break it up,
then he picks it up with the bar,
and then we'll examine the subfloor,
see what it looks like.
Oh, my God, Joe!
JOE: Hey, Justine!
Hey. Oh, my gosh!
I got it right here.
Here's your tool.
I'm supposed to do that?
Like, that hard? I mean, I could do it. You know me.
Good, good, good.
Beautiful.
You're doing fantastic.
Straight in and then pick it up. That's it.
And you know what?
Eight hours of this, Justine,
you'll sleep like a baby at night.
Uh...
Uh...
John, you guys want to take over?
I'd definitely hire her in a minute.
While John is cutting up the hot tub,
I'm gonna go in and start tearing up the floor
in the Jacuzzi area.
We want to be able to let Cipriano get in there
and start excavating tomorrow,
and hopefully we'll get this thing under control very soon.
JOE: What?!
Steps?
Another surprise.
We ran into the stairs.
We never saw that.
JOE: That set of steps may be inside the pool
that we're gonna put in here,
so we're gonna have to remove the steps.
[ Record scratching ]
You know you got steps under here.
JOE: Steps?
Another surprise.
There's always unexpected circumstances that pop up,
and it never turns out to be as easy as they say.
Ooh, this is exactly where he's gonna put the pool, too.
Gonna have to jackhammer that out.
You -- You bring a jackhammer with you?
JOE: That set of steps
may be inside the pool that we're gonna put in here,
so we're gonna have to remove the steps.
JUSTINE: Hey, Joe.
Come on out. Just watch your step.
Okay. What's going on?
Well, let me give you a rundown.
So [sighs] there's a lot going on out there.
We ran into the stairs.
We never saw that.
So now that has to be drilled and gutted out,
and I'm sure more money.
But other than that --
He doesn't know this yet?
Oh. Ohhh!
You're gonna break it to him.
Oh, okay, Joe. I knew something --
Okay.
JOE: She's actually better at breaking bad news to him
than I am.
So, hopefully that'll be the last of the bad news we have
and we can continue with the project.
JOHN: I made a nice discovery. The block is hollow.
It's gonna make it a lot easier.
Hey, Justine. How are you?
Wow.
What's going on?
Guys are gonna come in with a little excavator.
First of all, I love anything miniature,
so this, Chris,
I just want to, like, get on.
Chris, please?
He's in the house. He's not gonna come out here.
What happens when he looks out the window?
He's not.
Let me just get on.
All right, one shot.
Let's make it quick so you don't get me in trouble, please.
I like getting my hands dirty, and my husband is the opposite.
He doesn't like any of this stuff,
and I was like, "I want to do that."
All right, so, this is the safety.
I'm gonna put the safety down.
So, listen, this is the control that spins the machine around.
Up, all right. There you go.
Oh, yeah.
Chris let me get on his excavator machine,
and I loved it.
I want to, like, go. Can I go?
What you'll do is
just pull these handles to you a little bit.
So, you're gonna just let her crash?
Oh, here we go.
I come outside, and my wife is up on top of this thing.
And it doesn't make sense to me.
He said that you would get mad.
I'm not mad. I just think you're gonna hurt yourself.
Okay.
Go ahead.
What'd you learn?
[ Both laugh ]
Oh, you thought I didn't know how to stop,
but now this is forward.
All right, let's help her down.
Can we help you down, my love?
You have on high-heeled shoes.
These are wedges.
Hello, this is not a heel.
That's the only woman that'd say that.
"These are wedges."
Next time, hopefully I can dig up some dirt.
She has wedges. That makes a difference.
It does. Wedges are flat.
Sorry, Chris.
CHRIS: The subbase is
the most important preparation for this pool,
so we are installing the gravel and packing it
so we have a good, strong foundation.
Everything is opened up now,
and we're getting ready to frame the outside of the pool.
KEN: Well, that should wrap us up.
Ken Merkel, the real man of steel.
Yeah.
The spa is really taking shape.
We have the plumbing installed.
You can see all these jets.
These are where all the jets go.
It's gonna look incredible.
We're gonna do the gunite.
Gunite is a concrete that they shoot to create the shell.
So, we have this big fire hose,
and they shoot the gunite, and then they carve it out.
So, at the end of the day today,
you're gonna finally see what this spa looks like.
So, the next step is to get the tile in.
This is gonna be beautiful.
JUSTINE: Yeah, this is gonna be a beaut.
Coming together.
Once we get the tile in,
then it's getting ready to finish up the room.
Tim: Right now, we're spray-foaming the spa.
The application process requires ribbon and a steady hand.
The product we're using is Demilec's new Heatlok Soy.
This product lets us spray 3 inches in one pass.
Saves us a ton of time.
Today's all about the heated floor and the floor tiles.
We're about to lay out the heating mat,
and they're gonna start tiling.
There's nothing like walking on warm, toasty tile.
MAN: We're working with the tile guys,
cutting in the fiber optics.
Lights on walls, in the pool, on the floor.
This is one of a kind.
I guarantee you won't see this anywhere else.
JUSTINE: I'm so excited.
I couldn't even sleep last night.
Today's a big day.
We are getting ready to show Joey the pool.
I hope the thing works because I've been waiting forever.
JUSTINE: Chris is outside, getting all the water in the pool.
CHRIS: I'm waiting for Rev and Justine to come in.
We've got the lights on now,
so we're just doing a little tweaking.
I'm so excited.
My husband's gonna live in here, Chris.
You have no idea.
Joey?!
He's gonna freak out.
Baby!
Wow.
This room is so different.
It's incredible.
The lights are coming off the wall.
And onto the floor.
So, Chris, you put -- Oh, snap, I didn't see that.
Lights are on the floor, on the walls,
and then right through the pool,
and they go right out the door.
REV RUN: The lights going into the pool
and then out the pool and then up the wall,
like, how did he come up with something so crazy?
JUSTINE: That's the king chair.
And then you have your queen chair over here,
so there's even your own special spot.
Oh, my gosh, this is awesome.
You got the foot jets, you got jets for your calves,
and, of course, you got the three jets for your back.
This is crazy!
Joey loves, loves, loves the pool.
He's probably gonna live in there now.
Don't you love your Evervue TV?
Whoa, that looks like a mirror!
The water's actually coming off and going down.
Yeah, it's a perimeter overflow,
so the water runs right over the edge, through the floor,
and then there's a trough underneath the deck.
And look, babe, it's nice and warm, honey,
like you like it.
Feel it, babe.
That water in there, that's my water.
I love the intricate work done on these glass tiles.
The color you picked was incredible.
This is amazing.
I'm so happy.
Gonna get my shorts.
REV RUN: With that thing right there, gonna get my shorts.
I'm getting in there now.
I don't care how cold it is outside.
I'm turning up the heat in there.
I'm going in it now.
Some people complain after working hard all day.
But there's an ancient proverb that says,
"Instead of complaining that the rosebush is full of thorns,
be happy that the thornbush has roses."
God is love -- Rev Run.
