[Run logo, theme music -- blah blah blah something about home]
Chirp: Who's the pigeon this time, Jojo?
Jo: Bobolink and Wren are looking for a bigger place for their growing family, but they can't afford new construction. They're hoping we can find a good handybird special for their flock.
Bobo: Our place is just too small for us and our five kids, but we can't afford much.
Wren: We have a little nest egg.
Chirp: How much we talkin'?
Wren: No, I mean an actual nest egg. Little Herman or Hermoine will be due soon! Help!
Chirp: You should see our brood!
Jo: We've been all over Waco looking for just the right place for you, or it will be after we fix it up. What do you think of this?
Wren: Bleah.
Bobo: You're kidding.
Chirp: It don't look like much now, but let Joanna get to work on some designs and you'll be amazed.
Jo: There's good bones here; we can convert this into a tri-level that's perfect for your family.
Wren: Are you serious?
Chirp: Do hogs like slop?
Bobo: ...I guess...
Chirp: Well, same here.
Wren: I suppose we can afford it. Let's call the bank. I'll talk to the branch manager.
[Later]
Jo: So Bobo and Wren are excited about the new place after I showed them my plans.
Chirp: And you know what that means today is!
Jo: Demo day.
Chirp: DEMO DAY! WHOO HOO! [runs off camera; crashing heard. Joanna rolls eyes.]
Jo: Done?
Chirp: [returning, covered in twigs] Yup!
Jo: Find any shiplap?
Chirp: I just find it so exciting the way you say "shhhiplappp."
Jo: No, huh?
Chirp: Not this time.
[Later]
Chirp: Despite the tremendous lack of shiplap in this build, we managed to get it done on time and right on budget.
Jo: Bobo and Wren, are you ready to see your Flitter Upper?
Bobo and Wren: Yes!
Bobo and Wren: WHOA!
Bobo: Look! It's got a room... and another room... and another room!
Wren: And each one has a hole!
Chirp: I liked the way Jojo used a mock-timber Federation style framing on the gable.
Bobo: Yeah, I was about to say that.
Wren: I love that giant clock as a design element in the living room!
Jo: Thanks! It's a Timex.
Wren: It's perfect! Wait till our three kids see it!
Jo: Three? I thought you had five.
Bobo: We threw two of them out of the nest during construction.
Wren: But they can come to visit! And another one's on the way, as soon as I get home and sit on him or her for a while!
Jo: Chirp used mostly new materials to rebuild the old April-built robins' nest into this modern, multilevel home, perfect for an active family of seven... or five... or six.
Chirp: Plus, we stocked it with food to get you started!
Bobo: That's great! I could use a-- SQUIRREL!
ALL: YIKES!
[A squirrel raiding the house]
Squirrel: Nice place! No shiplap, though.
