Ep 6. The Smoke House

In this episode of Zombie House Flipping season 3, the team takes on a daunting task with a new property dubbed "The Smoke House." This property has a unique history, having been an old cigar factory in Tampa, Florida in the 1920s. However, after lying abandoned for the past few decades, the property is in terrible condition and in need of major renovations.

The team starts by assessing the property and identifying the damage. The walls have holes, windows are broken, and the roof is leaking in places. There is also a significant amount of debris and trash strewn throughout the property, which will require heavy cleaning and clearing.

Despite the challenges, the Zombie House Flipping team is excited about the potential their new acquisition holds. The team of expert renovators, which includes Keith, Ashlee, Peter, and Justin, take on the project with enthusiasm and a can-do attitude. They are confident they can transform the property into a beautiful and modern living space.

The first step in the renovation process involves cleaning up the property. They bring in large dumpsters and begin removing the trash and debris that has accumulated on the premises. They also remove all the junk and broken furniture inside the property.

Next, the team focuses on repairing the roof and fixing any water damage or leaks. This is a crucial step as it will help to prevent any further damage or mold growth from occurring. The team also works on rewiring the electrical system and updating the plumbing to ensure the property is up to code.

As the renovation progresses, the team begins to uncover some of the hidden gems of the property. They discover beautiful original brickwork and unique architectural features that they decide to highlight in the design. They also add modern upgrades such as a new HVAC system and energy-efficient windows.

The team faces several challenges during the renovation, including an issue with the foundation of the property. However, they are able to address the problem and find a solution that ensures the property is safe and structurally sound.

The team also puts a lot of focus on the design of the property. They use a mix of modern and vintage features to create a unique aesthetic. This includes adding industrial-style lighting fixtures and using exposed brick as a design element. They also choose furniture that complements the overall design aesthetic.

Finally, the team completes the renovation and lists the property for sale on the market. Will they be able to sell it for top dollar? The team anxiously waits to find out.

Overall, "The Smoke House" is a challenging, but rewarding project for the Zombie House Flipping team. It showcases their talent for taking dilapidated properties and transforming them into beautiful and modern living spaces. Viewers are sure to be impressed with the final product and the team's hard work and dedication to the project.
