Ep 8. The Firehouse

The Firehouse

In season 2 episode 8 of Boise Boys, titled "The Firehouse," the dynamic duo Luke and Clint take on a new renovation challenge that is truly unique. The project in question is a historic red brick firehouse that's over 100 years old, and located in a coveted neighborhood in Boise.

In typical Luke and Clint fashion, they don't shy away from a difficult project, and this one is no exception. The firehouse has been left untouched for many years and is in desperate need of some much-needed TLC. The talented pair wastes no time diving into the project, with Clint leading the design and aesthetic component and Luke managing the construction and renovation process.

It's no easy feat taking on a project this old and with so much history, but the Boise Boys are up for the task. The show does a fantastic job of showing the viewer the process that goes into such a project. It is immediately clear that they have their work cut out for them.

The firehouse, despite being well over a century old, has an open and bright floor plan that the boys can't wait to make the most of. Clint quickly works on transforming the space into a modern livable home. He makes use of the high ceilings with large windows and creates an open floor plan, giving the space an airy and inviting atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Luke works on the structural components of the project, from rewiring to installing new plumbing. The building is old and has its challenges, but the pair has tackled it with their usual tenacity and skill.

One of the most exciting aspects of the firehouse renovation project is the creation of an Ellen-style hidden room. Clint takes the lead on this project and designs a bookshelf that serves as a hidden door. It's a fantastic addition to the house and adds a unique and quirky element to the overall design.

A key element of the renovation for the old firehouse is preserving and highlighting its historical features. The boys' vision for the project is to turn it into a modern family home while still keeping its traditional charm. They work on restoring the original brickwork and add architectural details to make it look like it was always part of the building. From adding shiplap walls to repurposing the old fire hose, the redo takes care of everything, incorporating the old into the new.

Throughout the episode, the tension between practical and aesthetic considerations is evident as the duo balances functionality and visual appeal. As always, Clint takes care of the aesthetic touch, adding a sleek and modern touch to the space. Thus he uses minimalism, timeless design, and a neutral color palette to add visual appeal to the firehouse project.

Finally, the renovation is complete, and the firehouse renovation is a sight to behold. From the moment the front door opens, the attention to detail is evident, with the beautiful fusion of vintage and modern, creating a welcoming and industrious space.

In conclusion, season 2 episode 8 of Boise Boys, titled "The Firehouse," is a great example of what the guys can do when tackling a challenging project. It highlights their skills while also showcasing the challenges they face when working with a historical property. The final product is a testament to their talents and creativity, and it is a project that the new owners will be sure to love.
