Since 2019, Brian and Mika Kleinschmidt have starred in HGTV’s “100 Day Dream Home.”

This method eliminates a big gap above Mika’s head during close-up shots of the couple.

From Brian’s point of view, the box is the most comfortable option by far.

However, the 100-day stipulation doesn’t include building permits.

“That is out of our control,” Mika explained toRealtor.com.

“Permitting time takes a long time,” added Brian.

To help the project move forward quickly, they take an optimistic approach to the multiple inspections needed.

They’re ready to proceed with the next phase immediately after the previous one is approved.

No matter what, the Kleinschmidts emphasize authenticity over TV editing magic.

“They want to follow the natural process so it feels more real.”
