Filming Day 5: DEMO

This is the moment we've been waiting for!


I took the first hit and let Eric and Greg, the strong manly men, take care of the rest. It was thrilling to take a sledgehammer to the wall. I actually didn't want to stop and took 3 more hits. I was sure they were going to air this part...instead they showed me getting my foot stuck in the wall. Thanks HGTV. Appreciate it. 


Eric made much more progress in his hits (that sledgehammer is heavy) and looked sexy doing it. I remember yelling, "give me that dining space, babe!".


Greg helped, but sadly they didn't show him either.


Susan thought it looked fun so she took a couple hits too! We let everyone have a turn, but some people were poor sports and didn't want to (Bruce and Chuck).


This was our last take interview about our home where we got to talk about how excited we were about it. We must have become pro's by this time because we nailed it in one take.


Usually, they come back weeks or months later to film the "after", however, they wanted to change things up with our episode. They loved that we were going to take a sledgehammer to the wall to knock it down, they wanted to show the renovations in action instead. All too often they end up coming back at a later date and nothing has changed in the home, so the fact that we were willing to knock it out right away made them want to capitalize on that. Oh if they could see this place now! Part of me wants to show off what we've done with this place, but it's relieving to not have to worry about another deadline of getting our home in perfect order for their return.
