Throughout the renovation process, the family visits the site, regularly checking on the team's progress and attending design meetings. They share stories and memories about Mimi Eva, as the team works to bring her dream to life. The team also incorporates several sentimental touches into the renovation, such as a wooden bench made from a tree on the property, which is engraved with Mimi Eva's name.
