MPDP appears in jeans and a green cap-sleeved t-shirt, with a round neck and a slit in the front, so it pulls apart into kind of a V-neck. There's white embroidery around the slit. The sleeves are pulled down on her shoulders slightly, and she's got some kind of major Wonderbra action going on, and possibly some kind of tape action (duct/electrical/surgical) helping to hold everything in place. Somehow it just all seems a bit much for early-morning renovations, but I bet it's pulling in the ratings. I don't think I've seen anyone this rigged up since the last Oscar telecast. The hair's all wingy again. She's by some river in Newtown, Pennsylvania, near one of the oldest covered bridges on the east coast. She says that these bridges were known as "wishing bridges." (I heard them called "kissing bridges" growing up.) Allegedly, if you went to the middle of the bridge and made a wish, it would come true. If I wish for more Amy Wynn and less Ty, do you think I'll get my wish?
We see Ty, Frank, and Vern playing basketball in the driveway of someone's house. They all hassle over the ball. Frank holds firm as Vern falls on the ground trying to get it away from him, as Ty leaps around like an uncoordinated monkey. In the next shot, MPDP says she knows what the designers would wish for: more time and money. She knows what she'll wish for: she runs into the covered bridge and hollers from inside, "That our teams come in on time and on budget and the homeowners are happy!"
Jamie and Barb are shown in their kitchen. It's got cupboards in a medium wood tone, with a mottled pale pastel countertop; white (or almond, can't tell for sure) fridge; black dishwasher and microwave; and a black and white (or almond) stove. The floor is, I think, sheet vinyl with a blue and white tile pattern. The walls are a light yellow colour. The cupboards and appliances are in one corner of the room. There are doors to other rooms on the other two walls. One of the walls is actually just a half wall, open to the family room. The kitchen flooring extends out into the carpeted family room in a really odd way, almost like a sidewalk that curves around the wall or something. It's bordered with wood. Very weird. There's a wooden trestle table with two benches in a dark orangey stain. It's very picnic table-ish. Behind the table is a bay window. It's not a hellish kitchen; just a bit pedestrian and dated. Jamie says they're looking for a change in the layout of the room. Barb says that the surface on the half-wall is just wasted space that collects clutter they could do without. Jamie says they don't really like anything about their countertops at all. They have this ugly piece of butcher block set into the surface of the cupboard. How unsanitary is that? How could you ever really clean it very well? What a bad idea. I get the impression that it's a relic of previous owners. Barb says it's just a dirt collector. She also says she'd like to see anything done with the floor rather than leaving it the way it is. She'd love to come home to a new floor, and suggests that some of the laminate wood products available now might be nice.
