- Chip Gaines, I challenge
you to a build-off.
(shouts loudly)
(rock music)
What's up, Chip?
My name is Taylor Calmus.
You don't know me, but
I'm a big fan of yours.
And I think we have a lot in common.
That's a sweet vest, bro.
We're both fun-loving dads,
we both love to build things,
and we both have amazing wives
that work very hard to keep us alive.
- Hey, bud, can you please
not do this next part?
- Babe, it's gonna be fine.
I'm wearing a helmet.
(swelling thundering rhythmic music)
(Taylor grunts)
And we both love demo day. (sighs)
I built that whole thing
just so I could demo it.
Chip Gaines, you ready to
see what the challenge is?
(funky rhythmic music)
We didn't have the budget to
go full size, but here we go!
(funky rhythmic music)
Chip Gaines, I challenge you
to a playhouse building
competition for charity.
We all know you know how to reno a house,
but I wanna see what you can do
with 80 square feet and
all-in budget of $2000.
Building a playhouse isn't just
about making a small house.
It's about capturing the magic
of a child's imagination.
I know what you're thinking, Chip.
You're thinking, who's this joker?
Is he really a worthy opponent?
Well, I've got 12 years
of carpentry experience,
I've built a whole bunch of
playhouses, and I can do this.
(nail gun shoots)
Nailed it.
There's only one rule.
No shiplap.
- Babe--
- What?
- You have to let them use shiplap.
- We can't let 'em use shiplap.
Are you kidding me?
- Yes you can, no.
- Babe, we can't let 'em use shiplap.
That's like their secret weapon.
- You want them to actually do it?
- Well, yeah, I want
'em to actually do it.
- Okay, then you have
to let them use shiplap.
- (sighs) Fine.
- And French doors.
- French doors. Babe it's a playhouse!
Okay, a budget of $2000,
you can use shiplap, and one French door.
One.
(rock music)
So let's get this competition started
but spoiler alert, I already
know who's gonna win.
The kids, because we
will use this competition
as a platform to raise money
for a children's charity of your choice.
We'll let the kids pick which playhouse
they like the best, so
in the end everyone wins.
(rock music)
All right, Chip, and if
all of that wasn't enough
to entice you into this,
I've got one last surprise.
I started an online petition
to have shiplap officially
renamed to Chiplap.
(laughs)
- You serious?
- Yeah.
- Did you really do that?
- Yeah, I actually did that.
So you can find the link
in the comments below.
(Heidi laughs)
But I think for everything
that you and Joanna have
done for the material,
it's only right that people
start calling it Chiplap.
- Fair enough.
- So anyway, thank you so
much for watching, guys.
If your name isn't Chip
Gaines, please share this video
and tag him so that
he'll hopefully see this.
And you know what, Chip, bring it on!
(slaps snap loudly)
Let the games begin!
- Dude Dad, Dude Dad, Dude Dad, Dude.
A break a door.
- There's only one rule.
(toddler yells loudly)
There's only--
(toddler yells loudly)
