[laughs] so this is going to be part of your bar, so yay for the bar. jarred: yay for our bar. susan: so what i've done is taken a plain piece of glass that's gonna go in one of the upper cabinets, and we've already taped it off, and what

"the bar is open." josh: nice. susan: and then we're gonna use this frost technique so it'll look like it's frosted glass, and it'll have a light so you can, like, flip it on, and the bar's open. ha ha. so what you do is we're just gonna lay this out. i'll let you guys kind of lay it out. you peel them off and just kind of stick it right on-- right on the lines and do the "open" across there. try to get them as even as possible. so, how's it going so far? josh: good. this is... jarred: incredible experience. susan: are you stressed out? are you scared? are you nervous? jarred: no. excited. josh: trust y'all completely. this is awesome. susan: so how long have you guys been here? josh: uh, 3 years. susan: 3 years. josh: just celebrated a--the third year in the house in-- a few months ago. susan: all right, do we got this on? now i'm gonna get--we're gonna shake this real good, and then i'm just gonna get you to spray over the whole thing, and then we're gonna let it dry, and we'll be ready to put it into your new bar. this is

piece of glass. it doesn't look like anything on there, but as it dries, it's going to showcase this frosted technique. see it sort of coming up on the glass? josh: awesome. susan: all right, well, that's the d.i.y. i'll let it dry, and then i'll peel off the letters for you. we'll send you on your way, and then i'll do the big reveal. both: awesome. susan: thanks, gang. bye. we've got the furniture here from ladiff right now. it's being delivered for the basement. it's going to be great.
