MAN: A little camp with a tent
for our daughter.

Welcome to my humble abode.

[ Laughter ]

MAN: Oh, that's nasty.

Oh, that is disgusting.

We're gonna build
a new platform here.

The windows aren't gonna
be here for eight weeks.

Eight weeks?
Yeah, that's not gonna work.

Welcome to
the Colby Athletic Center.

ASHLEY: And this place
is getting torn down.

CHASE: We've done a lot of
salvage in the past.

But this place is gonna be cool
with the cedar shakes.

Yeah, we'd go a little faster,
but I shake too much, no doubt.

No way! Is that?

Oh, my gosh. Is that ours?

- Wow.
- A little different.

NARRATOR: In a place
called Vacation Land...

Time to get to work.

NARRATOR: ...there are
thousands of cabins

that have been unchanged
for decades...

Everything must go.

NARRATOR: ...all over
the great state of Maine.

- Ah.
- Oh.

NARRATOR: Chase Morel
and his family of Mainers

renovate, restore, and save
these historic structures.

Are we in the right place?

I'm Chase and I lead the team.
Ashley's my sister.

She's also the designer.

Ryan's my brother-in-law.
He's my voice of reason.

Dixie and Jedi can handle
any jobs we throw at them.

Nice!

- Wow!
- What?

CHASE: Our crew is the best
at what we do.

- Nice job on this.

Happy first day of summer,
everybody.

Happy first day of summer. Time to
get to work. Where are we headed here?

So, yeah, we are kayaking in
to meet the Cornwall family

on East Pond in Oakland, Maine.

They have a camp up here.

They have a son, Andrew,
and a daughter Anna.

Anna just graduated high school.

They're big into pole vaulting.

And right now Anna is sleeping in
a tent on the front deck. She's what?

Sleeping in a tent
on a front deck.

- Of the camp?
- Yep.

She sleeps in a tent?

Don't judge her yet, it might be
the best place in the camp.

We've seen that before.

She definitely
has the best view,

but it's blocking the view
for everyone else.

Hey, that must be them
right there.

- Hey, guys.
- Hi!

- How are you doing?
- Great.

- Good.
- Hi, welcome to East Pond.

Hi, I'm Alan Cornwall.

I'm Kim Cornwall.

I'm Anna Gardner.

I'm Drew Gardner.

We're the Cornwall-Gardner
family.

So glad you're here.

This is kind of a dream
of ours, actually.

We've had this camp forever
in our family, 50 years,

and it's very tiny.

Our family's grown.

It's grown, yeah.

And Anna would like
to get out of her tent.

I would.

ASHLEY: All right.
Let's check this camp out.

What do you have here?
- Come on up.

A very little camp
with a tent for our daughter.

I heard about this tent.

ALAN: My grandfather bought
the camp in July 3rd of 1970.

I lived out here
every summer growing up,

and my kids now have
that same passion.

This is their favorite
place to come.

So you're the one that sleeps
in the tent?

Oh, yeah.
Welcome to my humble abode.

[ Laughter ]

So when you get inside,
you're gonna see

we started doing some work
because, you know,

we weren't sure if we'd be
so fortunate to meet you.

So we took down the ceilings

and we met all the mouse poop
and all the stuff.

- So you did all the hard demo?
- Just a little.

Just a little of it, yeah.

I see that you have
a track and field shirt on.

- Are you both pole vaulters?
- We are.

Pole vaulters
are a unique breed.

All right,
we might need to see you guys

have a little competition.

Yeah. He's the one
that got me into pole vault.

I, like,
thought it was pretty cool.

And they're both pretty modest.

So in terms of the camp,
is there anything inside

that you'd like to see,

stay the same or is there
anything you want to keep?

I don't think I really want
anything to stay this way. Okay.

[ Laughs ]

Are there any colors
that you hate? The brown?

Oh, the exterior, right?
- The exterior brown, yeah.

We're definitely...
We started with white

because it's so tiny.

We wanted to brighten up,
lighten up... Make it look bigger.

...as big as, yeah.

And we're definitely lighter.

I like yellow greens and blues.

I like the coastal.
- Yellows, greens, and blues.

Yeah, we like the coastal look
and feel

without the seashells, yeah.
- The coastal feeling?

The coastal feel
but on the lake.

Our big thing would be
definitely a bedroom for Anna.

- Okay, get you off the porch.
- Yes, please.

And a bathroom
that we can actually use so.

Our bathroom's pretty tiny.

What are you looking
to put into the project?

We're talking 30 to $40,000 so
it's like $35,000. CHASE: Okay.

I think if it made sense to,
you know, do something,

if you run into
some amazing idea

and you say we could do more for
a little bit more, let us know.

And when did it when would you
like to have it back by?

I'd like to use it a little bit this
summer, would be great. Uh-huh.

- Summer just began so.
- Yeah.

I think
we can get it back to you

by the end of summer,
probably. That would be awesome.

Yeah, we're excited
to get started.

$35,000 and six to eight weeks.

Make room on the inside
for everybody.

Lighten it up,
expand the camp out.

I think that pretty
much sums it up.

We're ready to get to work.

- Any keys?
- The keys are inside.

Keys are in it waiting for us.

They are ready to get going.

I'm so excited.

I mean, the history
of this is great.

We love the lake.

And we have full confidence
and trust in them.

And know they're gonna do
a fabulous job for us.

All right, let's go see what
we have going on in here.

You going land boating today?
[ Laughs ]

Land boating?
What are you talking about?

- Showboating.
- Showboating.

What are you guys talking about?

[ Laughs ] Your outfit.

Oh, yeah. I guess I can take
my life jacket off.

Shoo...

- She's a beaut.
- I wouldn't say she's a beaut.

- It's not as bad as I thought.
- It's not, but it's bad.

It's white.

It's not bad, it's not great.

But then you get back here
and they've got

a kitchen crammed in here.

Ew, this kitchen's horrible.

It's cut up in a very odd way.

This is a tiny bathroom, too.

For real, look.

You have to like...

To got to be really skinny
to make it to the shower.

I'm definitely not
fitting in there.

Putting the electrical box
right above the toilet's

probably not code anymore.

- Sheesh.

CHASE: On the outside
of the camp,

we are going to take off
the deck

and extend the living space.

We're gonna build a new deck
off the side, new windows,

new siding around,

We also need to jack
and level everything

and get rid of these stumps.

We are going to just rearrange
the interior, make layout

and two bedrooms on the inside,
one tent on the outside.

We're gonna make it

Good thing this wall
is coming out.

Good thing they painted it.

Anybody home?

Ew. Oh, God.

We always say that doing demo
is like an archeological

Tells you a lot about the house.

Some spots,
they did wrap in metal.

This whole wall
is getting torn down so.

A few of the siding boards

The homeowners, they asked us
if we could make sure

that their watering system
they set up stayed running,

to keep this pump running.

a system that will keep the pump

running in order
to keep the plants watered.

Those plants are gonna be
a pain in the butt.

So back story is they ripped out

did the permitting,

came up with nice plants.

There's layers of mesh there
that are tied down

all native to Maine plants,
erosion control,

but it has to be water
so they take.

But there's been
no rain this year,

so we have to keep power on
to that and we have

to keep sprinklers going.

What is the first thing we do,
we do demo.

Shut water off,
we shut power off.

Solution is we got... we're
gonna run an extension cord

- Good job, guys.

Good job, guys. Get

This demo went well.
It has a good foundation.

Probably just gonna be quick
and Ashley's gonna be able

to spend some money,
give it that coastal field,

lighten it up to leave

This morning, we're here
at the Cornwalls,

and we're gonna start
by jacking and leveling the camp

right down to bare bones,

so it should be pretty easy
jacking and leveling.

Now that we've got the front
of the building level across,

we're carrying up our sides.

As you can see
where Brian's working,

there is a pretty good sag
right there.

And we set our laser level
up out front here.

And we've been going with
a constant place to measure,

which is the bottom side
of the floorboards.

We go up underneath,
hit the floorboards,

and that's what we've been
pulling our measurements from.

So we're trying to get
18 inches all the way around.

Another thing
we're gonna do here

is if you can see
none of the floor joists

are actually attached
to the original structure.

So we're gonna scab on some
pieces and try and sheer it up

and make sure
that at all is fastened together

so you don't get
a lot of deflection

or bouncing in the floor.

You know, we've opened
that proverbial can of worms

and seen
the innards of the camp.

The underside was really
in good shape.

So we were able to just
jack and level

and use what was there.

Got another the other week
at Cornwall.

Chase had shown up
and giving us the go ahead

to remove a lot of the log

siding to make it a bit easier
to install the new windows.

Pretty much, we've got it
all framed up.

We figured we would just strip
all that log siding

and do cedar shakes
all the way around.

This week, we are working
on getting the roof ready,

which it pretty much already is.

We're just getting ready
to put some shingles on it.

So I'm here at Chase's
workshop today,

so I was trying to come up
with something to do with this,

and then I had these paintings

that the guys found during demo.

I was thinking about
doing a custom frame

or a mat for these paintings.

But you know what?
I don't really like it.

Like, to me,
they just don't go together.

I feel like maybe
if I made a mat

and so what I'm gonna do is
I think it will be cool

to contrast
this metal with the wood.

And then I will call
the Cornwalls

and just get some family photos.

And I think they'll be
a nice addition to the wall.

Many people probably
would've tossed that,

but it's got a cool design
and I really liked it.

I was drawn to it.

So now we're gonna make
some picture frames.

We'll do it 9 by... excuse me,

9x11.

So when they look
at the pictures,

that piece of decorative metal
will still be there

and remind them of the camp
before it was fixed.

But now it's just a cool...
Just a cool memory.

So we'll keep it like this. And
you'll see the board behind it.

And then we can just
we can attach the picture,

the family portrait,
onto the metal.

It's a nice way
to incorporate something

that otherwise would have been
trash into a nice decoration.

- Let's make two more.
- Let's make two more and then...

Call it day, baby.

Maybe then we'll get
to go swimmin'.

But this place is gonna be cool with

to save by pulling it up?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

I mean, flooring's like
$3 a square foot.

If we had to pay for it.

You get $3 there.

So when I first got here,

Chase and Sarah were working
on the squash court

tearing up the floor,

so I jumped right in
and helped them.

Hey, Chase, remember when
Dad used to take us

to play this?

I do.

Wait a minute.

This is squash, not racquetball.

I don't know how to play squash.

Just wail it.

Hard as you can.

Ah!

Jeez, don't...
Watch out for nails, though.

Maybe I need to go to
the other court.

Oh.

♪♪

Six-year anniversary
of my dad's death,

my dad would be in heaven here,
this is all his... oh, yeah.

Like, he always got jobs
like this.

He would be excited.

And now I'm gonna cry.

Chase is just like my father,

my father would
absolutely be in heaven.

My dad wouldn't leave,
I guarantee,

and my dad would have
just a hard time leaving

as Chase is gonna have today.

We haven't even put a dent
in this place. Not even a dent.

This floor,

there's no knots in it.

Where's all the knots?

- You can't have imperfections.
- Oh, really?

Yeah. No, this is beautiful
flooring. Wait, that's a thing?

They cherry pick
wood like that to make...

Grading it, yeah,
just like pine.

You look around there's not
a single knot

in any of this flooring.
- There isn't.

How are we gonna treat it?
Are we gonna do anything to it?

Put it down just like this?
- Yeah.

- There you go, folks.
- There you go.

We haven't
really put a dent in this.

We could be here for two weeks.
We could be here for a month.

We could be here for a month.

We get one day, one day
and one day only. Yeah.

Chase is probably having
a really hard time right now

comprehending the fact

that he's gonna leave
so much stuff behind.

We could be here
for two months straight

and still not even begin
to get everything.

So before lunch, we focused
on this main basketball area.

We've got one floor up and there
we got all the railings,

got floors
out of the squash courts.

And now we are focusing on

get as much
a variety of stuff as we can.

Trying to save a C
for the Cornwall camp.

All right,
let's just do a chant,

two, four, six, eight,
who do we appreciate?

ALL: Colby.

All right, we're out of here.
Let's do it.

ASHLEY: [ Laughs ]

You guys can start calling
me coach. That was fun.

♪♪

So today we're here
at the Cornwall camp,

Elon and Gavin are working
on getting us ready

to start putting
some hardwood flooring down.

♪♪

You have to go through
and grind off all the fasteners

and then restack it.

♪♪

It's going down pretty easy,

you know, it's good, solid base,
it's a lot of little pieces,

but it's like
a giant easy puzzle.

So we decided not to poly

or do anything with
the main squash court floors.

They had to have been
waxed or something

at one point along the line.

So they had the red paint,

which I thought
was a unique feature.

They look good, they're solid.

So we decided
to leave them as-is.

Typically, we like to have
all our windows installed

before we do flooring and siding
and interior sheathing,

but windows got held up
a little bit.

We're kind of waiting on those,

but we've got
to keep moving forward.

♪♪

So the windows
have finally arrived

and now we can get
the trim down,

now we can get the siding done.

So the Cornwalls really wanted
this to have a coastal feel.

Typically, a coastal feel,

I like to think
of blues, natural colors.

I love the exterior.
It's definitely coastal.

I just want to come and give it
one final look over before I go

and get my design team together
and get ready.

Hey, Ry, Ashley's here.

So we've got four days
till we give it back

we have Gavin
over here painting the siding.

Sarah is putting up
the cedar shakes.

So inside we have
all of the windows

finally got installed.

And then, of course,
the squash floor

that we had ripped up
from Colby College.

Bathroom's looking good

and then some
repurposed basketball floor.

And here, this is nice.
I like it.

Cool, this place
is almost ready.

Yeah, we're finishing this up.

Brad's put the final two sides
on this box, you know,

we kept all the plants alive,
everything's good.

He's gonna put a roof on this
and the front will slide open

so you can access this drain
and get water when they need to.

♪♪

If we had gone out and bought
this flooring brand-new,

we probably saved, you know,
15 to $2,000.

The rest of it
is just Eastern White Pine.

The match we left
the bedrooms natural,

whitewashed the walls,
painted the ceilings.

White to match with Cornwalls
had already painted.

We did edge
and center bead, wainscoting,

and then switched to halfway up.

Just to kind of give
that cottage feel.

I'm just doing the traditional
thumb latch handles

they're z-back doors,

and these ones are getting
thumb latches

because they're hinged
an opening like that.

♪♪

So one of the last things
we did at Colby

is I cut the C
out of the basketball court

for Cornwall
and it came out in one piece,

so I just framed it up,
put some wire hooks on it,

and now it's ready
to be hung on the wall.

I didn't see you do that.
Do you see him do that?

The place looks really great.

So the Cornwalls had a lot
of furniture

that I was able to work with,
we got a great bunk beds.

Big, huge,
beautiful silver table.
