2:16 am
hey, my name is mattherwood. my name is dan sherwood. and we're out in farmingville, new york, where i live with my mom terry and my brother dan. i would say the best part up being a twin is that people take interest in you,
2:17 am
whether it's girls. people kind of wanna get to know you a little bit more, because they think it's an interesting thing. we get along really well, having someone who's literally your equal in every-- in every way. we could switch classes every now and then. we played sports, same friends growing up. so it's interesting when your brother is also part of your group of best friends, because you never have to go far. you never have to worry about him dodging your calls, because you just go in the next room, and bang on the door and just tell him, wake up, or we got something to do. today, we're gonna go and let matthew and daniel know that we got their email. their mom terry three years ago was diagnosed with als. and i just wanna do what i can to help them help their mom. which ones? wait. i'm gonna get it. my mom always was kind of strong, caring, tough. tough. i don't think anyone could inherit all that toughness, because there was a lot to go around. she quit her job when she had us.
2:18 am
and for 15 years, kind of just raised us, and we were her only focus. we're kind of all she's got. she still calls us her babies. so. right around the time we were graduating from college, she started feeling weakness and kind of off. so she went to doctor after doctor, looking for a diagnosis. about three years ago, my mom got her diagnosis of als. around this time last year, the ice bucket challenge was going on, and that was a great way to educate people. because before my mom had it, i had no idea what this was. it's a neuro-degenerative disease where your body, basically, attacks itself. she went gradually from a cane to a walker to a wheelchair. she's all there mentally, would love to communicate with all of us, but she can't. my mom was always involved heavily in the community. so she build friendships that have lasted our entire life. and now everyone is doing their best to kind of return that favor. anybody stop by? peggy?
2:19 am
peggy came by? just lately it's been in turning into a much tougher time for her. taking care of a parent at any age, it's a big responsibility. but at 26? i mean, geez, i was just finding my way in the world. i just wanna do whatever i can to help 'em. so initially we completely renat the upstairsat the contractor had recommended that we get a chair lift that she could just ride upstairs. we dumped a good amount of money into there. and unfortunately, now she's a little too far gone to even use the lift. she is now 100% percent to the first floor of the house. the choice was no longer hers. it just had to happen. we're two young guys. we're not made of money. so we're back at square one. so our mom is currently living in what used to be our living room and is her bed room. the first thing you see when you walk in, hospital bed. there's no privacy there. that's the house on the corner. let's go surprise 'em. i want to be here. i want to spend time with my mom.
2:20 am
i don't want her to be alone. we just knew there's way more important things than moving out on your own, and that little bit of independence is not worth missing out on valuable years at home with mom. it's the least we could do. after 25 years of taking care of us, we could give her a little bit back. this would definitely inspire her and motivate her to keep fighting more and more of her independence. you want to see some waterworks, you should show her the renovations. she'll lose it. you might see her leave the chair for the first time in a couple years. she might walk. she might stand up and take a few steps. she would lose it. hey, what's up? hey! how's it going? hi, terry. how are you? which one's matthew? which one's daniel? matt, dan. matt and dan? all right. so you guys know who i am? yeah, it's george. so nice to meet you. yup. so if you know my name, you know what i'm here to do? yeah, you're coming to the rescue!
2:21 am
took the words right out of my mouth. when george was at the door and my mom realized that she was being rescued, i was pretty sure she was gonna cut off the circulation to my hand. she was squeezing me so tight. she was beyond excited. wow, you have an amazing smile. terry, how are you? so nice to meet you. the fact that george is gonna rescue my mom, it's gonna take a little bit off everybody's load, and it's gonna just make things a lot better for our family. i'm sorry that what you guys put in before is not working, so i'm here to make it 1,000 times better. i just wanna do what i can to make your life easier and make you more comfortable. and at 26, i was literally a babe in the woods. i couldn't even take care of myself. obviously, you know you've got amazing sons, and they love their mom. that's right. so we're here to do what we can to make life a little easier for you. -what great news. thank you. so i'm guessing that this living room right here is what you guys have turned into mom's bedroom. yes, exactly. you guys wanna give me a quick tour? see what we're dealing with?
2:22 am
yeah, come over here. let's take a look. george: that's the commode. this is your bed. matthew: that's all the privacy you get. george: all the privacy you get is from this screen right here? daniel: that's it. i mean, i'm sure you like seeing everybody when they come to visit, but it'd be better on your own terms. matthew: exactly george: this is a definitely a living room turned into a bedroom, not a bedroom. matthew: exactly. george: and so i think we can definitely turn it into something special, something proper for you. if you could tell george one thing right now, what would you say? computer: thank you so much, george and crew, from the bottom of my heart. daniel: nice. josh, nancy, welcome to the sherwoods' house. what would be formal living room is actually terry's bedroom. what we're really focusing on on this project is accessibility and privacy. privacy is definitely that the most important thing, giving her a little bit of her own space, her own retreat, and also not walking into somebody's bedroom. because this is the entry foyer, maybe some french doors? george: love it. and then rearrange the furniture so that she's not
2:23 am
the focal point of the room, maybe create a little bit of a seating area, so when people are visiting her in the space, they have somewhere to sit and really just make it feel more like a bedroom. i think we really just gotta find a way where comfort and function meet somewhere in the middle, and complement each other well. i love that. so that's the privacy side. the other one is accessibility. there's only one little small bathroom here. there's no way terry's fitting in here with her wheelchair. no. and i don't even know how her sons, who are big guys, fit in this bathroom. there's no elbow room. josh: definitely tiny. nancy: it's definitely small. it's a tight squeeze. ada code calls for a five foot turn radius inside the center of the bathroom for her to maneuver. this is about four feet, maybe? yeah, four feet might even be being a little generous. all right. so you guys got me worried. where are we gonna find the space to make this bathroom bigger? announcer: "george to the rescue" is sponsored in part by coldwell banker, where home begins.
2:24 am
2:25 am
2:26 am
and we have a kitchen that way. so that leaves these two walls to deal with. the most practical thing is definitely to take this wall out and cut into the laundry room. we'll be ok in terms of front to back, but in terms of the depth of the room, i think we're still gonna be short. i think we're gonna have no choice but to move this wall. you wanna move wall right here? yeah, i think we should look into shifting that wall forward about three feet. we gotta make sure, obviously, it's structurally sound that we can do that, right? josh: absolutely. and then also we have to accessibility to get out onto this back porch. josh: remove the double door. go with a single door. george: all right. i like that. josh: still keep it 36 inches wide, so that can still get in and out with the wheelchair no problem. i don't really think it affects the family room all that much. there's still enough place for a seating area. ok. but once we bring this wall forward, we're basically touching 25% of this room anyway. so let's just do it. so at that point, we should just do this room, make it part of the overall plan of what we're doing here.
2:27 am
so no matter how big or small the crew is, safety always has to come first. i got three respirators for you. i got glasses for you. i got ear protection and hard hats, so you can protect your eyes, ears, lungs, and heads. thank you. and we are ready for demo. let's get this thing underway. -let's go. let's do it. got any use for that, my friend? i can take that. all right. george: so we're taking down this wall. josh: definitely have water supply, drain, and air vent, electrical. so? so this is gonna be probably where we take the most precaution. this is not the wall you wanna just start throwing the sledgehammer willy-nilly. no. or grab the saw and just-- you never really know what you're gonna get with construction until you open up the walls. what? that is what i'm talking when i said do not sledgehammer
2:28 am
or saws on that wall. so basically what we originally anticipated with the plumbing was that there was going to be maybe three, four lines in the wall. yikes. that's a lot of pipes. we have eight or nine vital lines running through that wall. we got a symphony of pipes in here. well, plumbing scope just tripled. we needed an open space in which terry can navigate. correct, correct. and this wall is hindering that. there's currently no access below, because there's basement here, which would require some saw-cutting, some jackhammering, and a lot of elbow grease. some fun. yeah, yeah. i'm glad we found this together. yeah, you and me both. memories, you know? making memories. we'll do toilet, vanity, shower, door. yeah? truth be told, the plumber is really gonna dictate where things are gonna go at this point. to a certain extent, yeah. it's a classic home improvement dance of trying to of figure out how to make it work and make it aesthetically pleasing. and that's why you bring in pros, and that's why you bring in designers. together, we'll figure this out.
2:29 am
oh. water damage. water damage? yeah. oh, is that rot? that's the plywood above their bathroom upstairs. oh, delicious, feels like cereal. making it rain, george, making it rain. announcer: "george to the rescue" is sponsored in part by 3m. for more information about 3m products or to find a retailer near you, go to 3m.com.
2:30 am
yeah, it looks to me like mom's bathroom on the second floor has had a leak for quite some time. we were talking about giving them a laundry room upstairs so they still have a laundry room. yeah. so we're gonna be opening up that shower anyway to convert that, so we could address the rot issue then. so, josh, if this all has to stay put, how are we gonna reconfigure this bathroom? we're gonna wrap these pipes inside of a wall. nancy really came up with a beautiful tile design that's gonna work on that wall. this is actually almost a blessing in disguise because of the privacy aspect. i guess we just gotta keep digging, do some cutting, and pull up some old tiles so that we can get this thing rebuilt. josh: yeah. good news is, blackman truck just arrived with all our supplies. why don't you take the cold? sure, works for me. sean, you take the hot. sean: you got it. martin, you just give me whatever else. all right. hey, george, let me show you something over here. yeah. laminated flooring starting to delaminate on us
2:31 am
and fall apart. so what that is a sign of is water intrusion coming from underneath the old door here. this last five feet of patio was all back pitched towards the house, so whenever it rains, runoff, snow melts, all of this water, instead of going away, is all coming back here. in order to protect everything we're doing in there, we gotta do something with this patio. patio's gonna come out. we're just gonna rip the whole patio out. rip the whole patio out. all right. that's a little bit out of the scope. be safe to say i am hot, sweaty, and dirty. but i got a great idea on how to cool off. what's up, guys? -oh, hey, george. -how you doing? what are you doing here? oh, you know, thought i'd surprise you on a hot day. what's up, george? nice shirt. you like that? this should give you some sort of clue as to why i'm here with the ice buckets. i wanna challenge you two to the ice bucket challenge. we definitely accept the challenge. the ice bucket challenge basically
2:32 am
consists of taking a bucket of ice and water and pouring it over your head to raise awareness and funds for als. woo! -that's the one you don't want. -i'll take that. i'll take this one. i'm really excited and honored to be doing the als ice bucket challenge with these guys. real quick. i have to wear these when i go back, so-- shoes off. yeah. who should we challenge? i'd i'd like to call out josh, the contractor who's been helping us with this project. all right. so i'll call out nancy, the designer who's helping us out. and i'm calling out the entire "george to the rescue" crew. -awesome. -all right. so you've been challenged. three, two, one. oh man. i'm cooled down. i mean, i like to think that we're a couple of popular guys, but bringing in george and the television show is really huge to spread it and even have a further reach than the two of us could have had alone. you guys are next. you've been challenged.
2:33 am
woo! george: guys, me the shot where it lands on my head.
2:34 am
george: good, man. i'm just checking out this mess of a backyard. yeah, so i know-- this your brother? -this to my father jeff. -no way. how you doing, george? nice to meet you. nice to meet you. thanks for coming on board and helping us out. not only are we doing the whole inside for the family, but giving them this outside living room is just gonna be huge. so what we're gonna do is take the cambridge paving stones and just make it a little bit bigger so we can make a sitting area on the side. we're gonna put a little fire pit, an area for the barbecue, some planting areas. i got my crew from affatato paving to come down and install it. they'll have years of enjoyment back here. let's see if we can make that ramp. and we did! and we're off to the races.
2:35 am
so, josh, now that we got the drywall up, it's all spackled, time to sand so we can put some paint on these walls, right? yeah, let's do it. i got our 3m sanding sponges here. they're a nice, 'cause they're ultra flexible. flat on this side for the drywall, and then it also has this diamond pattern, so it channels all of the drywall dust away. it's good to wear a respirator, but also that keeps on the ground rather than all over in the air. josh: absolutely. sanding sponges up! ah, nice and smooth. we're putting in our brand new door. and as you can see, even tough guys wear safety glasses. i mean, i'm pretty tough, but look at this guy, huh? come in? yup. and now we got a door! -that's what i'm talking about. -all right. welcome home. one of the things i love about "george to the rescue" is it's families coming out and helping other families. we got josh and his dad helping us. and right now, we got joe sr. and joe jr.
2:36 am
with tells tiles limited. there was a lot of talk about the design on this bathroom. what is the layout? we're doing a one by one boston mosaic on the floor. ok. 12 by 24s on the wall, and an accent in the shower wall. what's up, guys? how we doing? so i see we got ourselves a truckload of furniture here. so all this furniture, nancy, it came from realm? yes. bring it back, bring it back, bring it back, bring it back. [beeping] ok, ok. that's good. that's good. i think we wanna really create a spa-like bedroom for her, something fresh and something feel good. so we went with some really nice feel good colors, a nice fresh green. we're gonna do a nice, bright white wainscot on the walls. some new colors, some new texture, some new drapes. we added beautiful french doors, because it is right off the foyer. it gives her privacy. she had a dresser along the back wall. we'll have a tv above it for her,
2:37 am
and the bed along the sidewall. we gave her some extra seating for people who are gonna come in here and hangout, a nice window seat. i mean, the whole idea was to give her, with this room, privacy, this space will lift her spirits. and i think we knocked it outta the park. yeah. all right. one last front gate planter. of course, you gotta have a plant in the planter. i'd say we're ready for reveal. hey, guys. welcome home! hey! hey, terry. give me one of those famous hugs. aw. what's up, guys? -george, good to see you. -welcome home. welcome home. -george, great to see you. yup. well, we came here with two main criteria. we wanted to give you privacy, and we wanted to give you accessibility. i am very proud of the transformation that we've done inside your house. you wanna come home? -ready? -you ready? -yes. george: without further ado.
2:38 am
2:39 am
oh my god! do you see this? look at your new room. check you out. it used to be open--
2:40 am
you wanna trade rooms? yeah, do you wanna trade rooms? it feels kinda like we're at the beach. a little paradise. when you have to stay home for most of the time, you get to be in your own vacation. i never expected this. thank you, thank you, thank you. oh, don't thank me yet. we're not done. no way. are you kidding? ma, look at this. are you kidding? oh my god. this is-- thank you so much, she says. this is gonna make everything so much easier. it's big enough for her to do a full turn in there. she can take a shower, the full bathroom that's handicap accessible. it's gonna completely transform the way she is living at this house. i'm even looking at where the window is and i feel like you blew out area on this side of the living room. you're very observant. check it out. no way. no way!
2:41 am
look at this. this is beautiful. look at it. look at everything. it doesn't even look like the old den. she loves it. oh, man. i love it. you know how many movies we're gonna watch in here, hanging out? how did you get this done in such a short time? how did you all of this, man? that's a very good question, and obviously, i didn't do it by myself. what do you say we go outside and meet 'em? get outta here. what? look at this. are you kidding? no way! look at this. oh my god. my mom hasn't been back there in three years, because there a lip on the old door, and she couldn't get the chair over. it's just gonna breathe new energy and new life into my mom. i promise you i will keep up with the watering of the plant. yes, we'll take care of it. this is blowing my mind. we're having people over this weekend. now we're having a party. george, you're invited. everybody's invited.
