Ep 7. Gulf Coast Revival

In Louisiana Flip N Move season 2 episode 7, titled Gulf Coast Revival, the house flippers head to Gulfport, Mississippi to find their next project. This coastal town was devastated by Hurricane Katrina, so there is plenty of opportunity for the team to make a big impact.

First up is a majestic home that was built in the 1920s. It has a lot of charm, with beautiful wood floors and high ceilings. However, the house has been neglected for years, and there is extensive water damage in many areas. The team has a big job on their hands, but they are excited to start the renovation process.

Next, the flippers head to a mid-century modern home that was built in the 1960s. This house is in better shape than the first one, but it still needs a lot of work. The team loves the unique design of the house, with its angular roofline and large windows. They decide to embrace the mid-century modern aesthetic and give the house a complete overhaul.

The third property that the team looks at is a small cottage that was also damaged by Hurricane Katrina. This house has a lot of potential, but it needs a complete makeover. The team is excited to take on this project, as they see the potential for a cozy, beachy retreat.

After looking at the three properties, the team decides to take on the mid-century modern home. They love the design of the house and believe that it will be a hit with buyers. The team plans to update the house with all new appliances, fixtures, and systems. They also plan to open up the floor plan to create a more spacious living area.

The first step in the renovation process is to completely gut the house. The team removes all of the old wallpaper, carpeting, and fixtures. They also remove some of the walls to create a more open plan. With the walls gone, they are able to see the extensive water damage that the house suffered during Hurricane Katrina. They have their work cut out for them, but they are determined to restore the house to its former glory.

Once the demolition is complete, the team starts rebuilding. They update all of the plumbing and electrical systems and add new insulation to the walls. They also install new windows and doors throughout the house. The team decides to keep some of the original mid-century modern features, such as the wood paneling in the living room and the original fireplace.

The team also adds some modern touches to the house, such as a new kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. They also update the bathrooms with new tile and fixtures. The finished house is a perfect mix of mid-century modern design and modern amenities.

Once the renovation is complete, the team hosts an open house. The response is overwhelmingly positive, with buyers praising the unique design of the house and the attention to detail in the renovation. The team is thrilled with the final result and proud to have contributed to the Gulf Coast's revival after Hurricane Katrina.
