Flipping San Diego season 1 episode 2, titled Critter House, follows the journey of two house flippers, Brian and his brother, who are tasked with flipping a house in San Diego that is almost overrun by critters. The episode starts with the brothers getting to the house for the first time, and they are quickly met with a swarm of bees flying around the roof.
Brian and his brother are excited about the project, but it's clear they have their work cut out for them. The house is old and outdated, and there are critters everywhere. In addition to the bees, the house has a few rats, termites, and other insects. The brothers have just seven days to finish the renovation and get the house back on the market.
Brian and his brother quickly get to work, removing the bees from the roof and cleaning out the entire house. They are faced with a lot of unexpected surprises, like the termite damage that was far more extensive than they anticipated. However, they don't let this discourage them. Instead, they push forward and make sure all the critters are gone before doing further renovations.
The project requires a lot of hands-on work, as the brothers have to replace the roof, the flooring, and repaint the entire house. Painting is more difficult than they expected, as the old paint keeps cracking and falling off with each brush stroke they make. They are forced to sand all the walls down completely and start with a new coat of paint.
By day three, the brothers are beginning to feel the pressure as there is still so much to do. There are some unexpected costs, and they worry if they can make enough money from the flip. They are working long and hard days, sometimes until late at night, but they remain determined to finish the job.
On day five, the house finally begins to take shape as they make progress on the interior. They create an open-concept living room and kitchen, add in new appliances, and start putting in new fixtures throughout the house. The kitchen and bathroom take significant amounts of time to renovate, but they are able to pull it off with only minor complications.
On day six, the brothers rush to finish the project, and they are completing the final touches to the house. They are racing against the clock but manage to get everything accomplished in time to keep to their schedule. By the end of the day, the house has undergone a complete transformation.
Flipping San Diego season 1 episode 2, Critter House, is an exciting and challenging episode that shows the challenges that come with flipping a house. Despite facing numerous obstacles, such as termites, bees, and other critters, the brothers pull off an impressive renovation. The episode showcases their hard work, determination and creativity as they renovate the house in just seven days. Viewers are left with inspiration and awe at what the team was able to accomplish.
