In an effort to be more transparent about the homes being built, Brian and Mika Kleinschmidt spoke with Distractify to give a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into making "100 Day Dream Home" possible. "There are always ups and downs and in-betweens," Brian said. "And the great thing about our show is we try to capture everything in its real-time in real life to make it feel as real as possible." 

Mika went on to explain that some things are out of their control, like the client's initial and final decisions about their home designs. In the same article, she said, "...it's frustrating, you know, you have a deadline, but you also have to give them what they want."

Ultimately, the couple's goals are to stay on track, but they don't mind sharing that things happens that can cause them to fall behind schedule. The home-building couple also factored in that some client requests stem from people who aren't familiar with Florida's landscape. Properly educating their clients can also take time, along with explaining that some of their clients' ideas are too lofty for what they're able to afford, which can be disappointing.
