Ep 8. Banished Bachelor
- February 2, 2012
After a break-up, Mike was left feeling lost and without a place to call home. He had been living with his girlfriend, and now that the relationship was over, he found himself without a stable place to live. With no clear direction of where to go or how to move forward, Mike turned to Bryan Baeumler for help.
Bryan arrived on the scene and immediately went to work assessing Mike's situation. He asked questions about Mike's financial situation and his lifestyle to better understand what kind of living situation would be best for him. Bryan quickly determined that Mike had a limited budget and would not be able to afford his own place in the city.
This led Bryan to suggest that Mike consider the idea of living with roommates. Although this was not something that Mike had considered before, Bryan explained how living with others could be a great way to save money and build a support system during a difficult time.
With the idea of living with roommates in mind, Bryan and Mike set out to find the perfect living situation. They looked at several different apartments, and while most were too expensive, they eventually found a great option. The apartment was spacious and had three bedrooms, making it perfect for Mike to live with two other people.
However, there was one big problem: the apartment was in need of some serious renovations. The floors were old and outdated, the walls needed a fresh coat of paint, and the kitchen was in desperate need of an overhaul. Bryan knew that they had a lot of work ahead of them, but he was ready to take on the challenge.
Bryan wasted no time getting started on the renovations. He brought in a team of experts to help with everything from painting to installing new flooring. The kitchen was a major focus of the renovation, as it was outdated and didn't have enough space for three people to comfortably use.
To solve this problem, Bryan came up with a plan to knock down a wall and combine the kitchen with another room in the apartment. This would create a larger, more functional space that would be perfect for cooking and entertaining.
Despite some setbacks, including a leaky plumbing system and unforeseen electrical issues, Bryan and his team were able to complete the renovation in record time. When Mike saw the finished apartment, he was thrilled with the results. The space was modern, functional, and perfect for his new life as a banished bachelor.
Overall, this episode of Leave It to Bryan was a great example of how a little creativity and hard work can completely transform a living space. Bryan was able to take a rundown apartment and turn it into a beautiful, functional home for Mike and his new roommates.
