Original subtitles

There hasn't been much TLC to it.

Hey, bees' nest in there.

Look out.

They're swarming.

Bees.

Got a lot of extensive ant damage.

Oh.

I'm all right.

JEDI: Sarah just went through the rotten floor.

The back of the camp was sitting right in the dirt.

It was just so old and twisted and had

so many layers of stuff.

It was definitely a can of worms.

[laughs] I can't believe it.

I can't believe it.

Welcome back.

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.

Oh.

NARRATOR: Chase Morrill 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.

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

- Nice job on this one. - Cheers.

CHASE: We're all best friends, and we love it.

[music continuing]

Today we are on Clary Lake in Whitefield, Maine.

And today we are meeting Charlene

and Penny Lynn Anderson, two siblings that own the camp.

We're going to be there any minute.

It's right around the corner, according to my map.

Watch out.

Is he going to give Chase one?

- There you go, sir. - That's all right.

That's all right.

Do you want one?

No, I'm carrying the map.

Walk softly but carry a big stick.

This camp is owned by Charlene and her siblings.

They haven't been able to use it recently.

You'll see why very soon.

Our camp is right there.

Look, there's the lake.

Wait up.

Slow down.

Hi, guys.

Welcome.

I don't need my stick anymore.

Whoa.

Welcome to the Anderson Camp.

Thanks.

Welcome.

I'm Penny Lynn.

I'm Charlene.

And this is the Anderson Camp.

What a sport.

Seeing the Cabin Masters come down the road was like...

How's it going?

Hi.

Oh my gosh, we're finally going to do this.

It's Christmas.

We're finally going to do this.

[laughs]

So what do we have going on here?

My parents and grandparents bought the cabin in 1964.

We've been coming up to Clary Lake since 1958.

When my father passed away in 2010, we got this cabin.

CHASE: What are some of the major issues you guys have?

[laughs]

RYAN: Besides everything.

Where should I begin?

As you can see, there hasn't been much TLC to it

in probably two decades.

CHASE: Hasn't been stayed in. RYAN: It's still standing.

CHARLENE: It hasn't been stayed in.

Two decades, no one's stayed in it?

CHARLENE: No, no. It hasn't been used.

I can smell it from here.

[laughs]

I really can.

I can smell it from here.

Yeah, yeah.

Actually, it has been stayed in by lots of rodents.

[laughs] - Right.

Right. Right.

One of those.

CHARLENE: Yeah, it is one of those.

So definitely, it is not level.

It twists and turns.

There's no power.

CHASE: No septic, no water.

There's no water.

No septic.

So there's no bathroom, so we'd like to see a bathroom

be put into it and a mud room.

There's what I call widowmaker windows

up front that all need to be replaced, which you'll see.

RYAN: No weights on them?

ASHLEY: You open and they come slamming down?

No, you open them above your head.

Oh.

- They hang up on the ceiling. - Yeah.

You hook them up above the head.

When I was a kid, I was so afraid

that that thing was going to come down on me, and I'm like...

Now, in terms of color, is there anything you

would like us to stay clear of?

Yeah.

So when my parents bought it, it was gray and white.

Please stay away from those colors.

ASHLEY: OK.

Kind of like something that like

pops and brightens it up and adds some color.

We know how to make things pop.

[laughs]

And do you have access to the water?

CHARLENE: Yes.

Right now we don't have a dock.

We've got what I would call a trip and fall...

[laughs]

...To the lake.

Yeah, it would be nice to maybe have some steps or even a dock

maybe.

Sure.

How much are you looking to spend on this?

So thinking like $50,000.

I think $50,000 is probably... With the holding tank,

new plumbing, new electrical.

We'll come in here, put a holding tank.

Hopefully do something about all these roots,

because these are definitely...

ASHLEY: Toe stubbers.

CHASE: Tripping hazard as well. CHARLENE: Yes, they are.

They're speed bumps.

[laughs]

Walking speed bumps.

I don't know if you want to hear a fish tale.

Yes.

Oh, we love fish tales.

I mean, we are at camp.

All right.

Our understanding is these were fish camps that were used way

back in like the '40s, and that for $5,

not only could you stay at the camp,

but you could also get a bottle of moonshine and a massage.

$5 goes a long ways back then.

[laughs]

I don't know how much of a fish tale it is,

but there might be one.

That's what we've been told.

We're excited to get started.

We've got a good time frame.

We've got a good budget.

We just need a set of keys and we're ready to go.

Perfect.

Awesome.

Thank you, guys.

Well, we will see you in the fall.

- Yeah. - Thank you.

Thank you.

Once the project is done, to be able to prank my mom back

and to have her be able to see what's happened to the camp,

I think she'll be...

Tickled pink, as she usually says.

Tickled pink, yeah.

[laughs]

Whoa.

This looks like the '50s.

Yikes.

Whoa.

Oh.

OK, let's call the guys.

[laughs]

Can I have this day off?

No, don't.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

ASHLEY: No, no, no, no. This is unnecessary.

RYAN: That's good.

That's good.

CHASE: Why is it good?

RYAN: It's no insulation I'm saying.

She wants to take this back bedroom,

make a mud room and a bathroom space.

Everything must go.

- Yeah, for real. - Everything.

This is tiny, though.

Feels like a bowling alley, doesn't it?

ASHLEY: It does feel like a bowling alley.

It feels weird.

CHASE: I kind of like having those windows in the bedroom.

I know, that's cool.

I like that, don't you?

Yeah.

So if it's just you and you wake up in the morning,

you can still kind of look up and see the water.

RYAN: Inside is just definitely full on hazmat,

dust mask gross.

CHASE: I don't think there's any insulation

in this place whatsoever.

RYAN: There's no insulation, all right.

I can see why that would be sketchy.

That's wicked sketchy.

You guys need to call.

We need to call all the guys, the whole crew.

CHASE (VOICEOVER): On the inside,

we're going to go from two bedrooms

to one, which allows us room to put in a bathroom and a mud

entry area, and also enlarge the kitchen by stretching it

down the camp a little further.

Tupperware cups.

Oh, I have those.

Who didn't have these?

Oh, yeah, we got options.

[laughs]

How do you pick out your colors, Ashley?

Hm, by the Tupperware left in the cabinets.

I can taste the iced tea from grandma from these.

Oh, you're right.

Hey, I like those.

They don't want green so green goes.

Can't we just get some inspiration

from one of the colors and then find a nice complemented color?

How about that?

These are in good shape.

These are in good shape.

Holy moly.

ASHLEY: That one looks a little sketchy, this one right here.

RYAN: They're all sketchy. ASHLEY: Look, this is sketch.

RYAN: Look at how big.

This is wavy.

That's going to tumble right off.

That one's so sketchy, too.

Wow, sketchy.

Pox, insulation.

Maybe a load of crestone?

It's a Cabin Master's dream.

It has everything we want.

What?

Why is that a Cabin Master's dream?

We can get our bellies under it.

We can crawl under it.

You can get trucks right into it.

You can trucks in here.

It's close to home.

I don't think it's a Cabin Master's dream.

Power is right there, ready to be connected,

waiting to be connected.

I knew instantly.

This was love at first sight for me.

CHASE (VOICEOVER): On the outside of the Anderson Camp,

we are going to jack and level it,

put up new siding, new windows, a deck

off the side down towards the water,

and a new patio area on the back of the camp.

Where's the guys?

Guys?

Someone misses those guys.

I do miss them.

All right, let's go call the guys.

RYAN: Hey, Ashley should call the guys.

What do you think?

ASHLEY: I want to call all the guys.

[music playing]

I love these demos.

We just bring the whole team.

It's going to be pretty tight quarters in there.

DIXIE: That dumpster's as big as the camp.

JEDI: I thought we were putting the whole camp in the dumpster.

[laughs]

Today we are on Clary Lake at the Anderson Camp.

We've got a dumpster today, so we should

be able to get the place cleared out

and see what we're working with.

[music continuing]

Yeah.

That's how you do it.

[laughs]

Yee-hoo.

So can I give you a little don't-do-it-yourself tip?

Do not run your tags through your electrical cord to put

it up against the ceiling.

Not recommended.

She said they were terrified of them as kids.

So we're going to save these windows.

I'm not sure what we'll do with them.

I think Chase likes the idea of having a front window

in this master bedroom.

[construction noises]

I came to help and you guys got it all done, practically.

Perfect timing.

Get in there.

Get it started.

- Just do it with me. - Get it.

Come on.

I'm going to.

Just get it started.

[screams]

[laughs]

Oh, nice.

Yeah, I showed up a little late.

I didn't realize what a big crew they had.

I was coming out, anticipating they needed help.

And then I showed up, and pretty much they had everything done.

"She showed up late."

Hey, bees' nest in that.

Look out.

They're swarming.

Bees.

Bees.

Not the bees.

[music playing]

Hey, bees' nest in that.

Look out. They're swarming.

Bees.

Not the bees.

I found the bees.

There's a little nest in there and I didn't know what it was.

I thought it was a little mouse nest and I swept it up.

All of a sudden, the bees are swarming and we all took off.

Get out.

Bees.

Those are the black and white ones.

Oh, those are nasty.

ASHLEY: They're mad.

CHASE: If we go real quick, we'll get a shovel

and someone hold the bag.

ASHLEY: Are you crazy?

RYAN: Let me know how they feel.

Those ones hurt.

Might as well call it a day.

[laughs]

A bee holiday.

Did you find the nest yet?

There's a little bit left in there.

I mean, there were mice, animals, you name it in there.

And there was one nest.

Pulled that back, and Ashley had stumbled

into an active beehive.

I can't see them.

So there was something whipping around.

They were the black and white wasps.

Yeah, they were.

They looked nasty.

Nothing you want to mess with.

Where was the nest, in the wall?

I think it is.

Hey.

Get it.

Get it.

We're lucky nobody got stung.

Got my back?

Cover me.

Yup, we didn't have any bee spray or anything like that.

It worked well.

Fight fire with fire.

Fight bees with wind, I guess.

RYAN: But that's the way to do it.

Demo stinks... mouse crap, old insulation.

Get everyone here and do it all.

It's awesome.

This is the new normal.

From now on, you can count my words.

I'm doing demo like this every time.

I'm counting your words.

Mark my words.

I'm marking your words.

Remember my words.

I'm remembering your words.

This whole camp is shaking.

Right now, we're just pulling up the plywood

to see if this floor has potential to save it

or if we are going to have to put a new floor down.

The floor is not salvageable.

The time you'd put into patching it in, patching this,

and to match up, it's not worth it.

But I feel much more comfortable putting new floor down

on this versus down on the plywood,

because then you're just building up more

and we didn't know what was underneath.

And now we can see what we need to do

right here to patch this in.

If we change the wall layout, it's all on the same level,

so it's going to go a lot faster and smoother.

We got it back as far as we could to the original camp

to rebuild from here up.

This demo is going to be a huge transformation.

And the big thing was just getting it cleaned out

and getting fresh air in it.

It's good to get as much of that out of there as we can.

Let the rain, let it all just get in there,

and then it'll be good and ready when

we start closing it back in.

Good job, guys.

RYAN: Oh, excellent job.

That's the way we like it.

Now we can just help put it back together.

CHASE: It's awesome.

I love the new way to do demo, though.

Bring them all in

ASHLEY: Yeah.

But anyway, good job today, guys.

You got a lot done.

CHASE: Yeah, looks good.

Let's get out of here.

Let's go home.

[music continuing]

Here we are at the Anderson Camp.

We are getting this thing up off the ground.

Front was pretty well high and dry, but it wasn't very secure.

It wasn't very stable.

The back of the camp was sitting right

in the dirt, the number one no-no

in all these camp situations.

Get them up off the ground.

We're working on that right now.

We've got the back end up to where we want it.

We're going to run some new beams down.

[construction noises]

Catch everything.

Get everything up in the air and keep it dry.

And we'll be able to get some supports

underneath, get some new PT legs sitting on some pox,

and keep it sturdy.

I'd say we're Cabin Master perfect.

We're 16 and 15, 16.

So we've run into a little issue here at the Anderson Camp...

Ant-erson camp.

We found some ants.

We've got a lot of extensive ant damage

that we didn't realize was there.

When we were trying to put our new plate down

to frame out our windows on the front gable,

we felt it was a little spongy.

Went right through the floorboards.

We removed the plate and uncovered this.

More destruction ants.

Those are not carpenter ants.

They're not building anything.

They are destroying everything.

She is toast.

That sill was just absolutely ruined from ant damage and rot.

So out of the six... oh, oh.

I'm all right.

Sarah just went through the rotten floor.

What a disaster.

[music playing]

So out of the six... oh, oh.

I'm all right.

Sarah just went through the rotten floor.

Should I hang up and call 911?

Are you all right?

I'm all right.

Here at the Anderson Camp...

Ant-erson Camp.

We found some ants.

It's already lapped right there.

We're going to pull this front out

and we're going to get a new four by six hemlock in there

and get something solid to nail to.

Not much support in that bad boy right there.

That's pretty weak.

I just spent the morning replacing that front sill.

That just had to come out.

It set us back a day or so, but it was a quick fix,

and now we're straight and solid.

A lot of times we come up to a camp

and you can tell if it's going to be straight and narrow.

This camp was a curveball can of worms.

It was high off the ground.

Being high off the ground usually eliminates some

of that, but it was just so old and twisted

and there were so many layers of stuff,

it was definitely a can of worms.

Next step from here, once we get all our windows framed up,

we'll be waiting on Windows.

Windows will come in, and then we can start our siding.

[music continuing]

We're at the Anderson camp this morning.

Things are happening.

Tommy's in there with the machine.

He's got all those stops stripped off,

the ground cleared up.

Getting the gray water tank set, which is huge.

This is a big request.

Now they've got running water in the camp.

We've got a few windows here that we're

going to get installed.

Finish up a little bit of framing inside.

And then we're ready to just stand and paint.

A little more.

Yup, right there.

Hey, Jed.

- Hey, what's happening, guys? - What's going on?

This is Heidi.

Heidi, nice to meet you.

Heidi, this is Jedi.

We're here to check out the place and pick out some colors.

Excellent.

We're ready for paints.

We found these cups during the arrival,

and we were maybe going to use them as inspiration

for the color for the camp.

So I'm coming today with my assistant Heidi,

with my swatches of paint.

And as I'm putting this color up to the camp,

I realize it's going to look really nice.

The homeowners want something that's going to pop.

I think the orange is going to be, but what do you think?

I think whatever. It's going to be nice.

It's going to be pretty.

It's going to be a fresh coat of paint.

It's going to be different siding.

It's going to have a totally different trim.

OK.

Well, I say we go with that one.

HEIDI: Yeah, that's nice.

OK, cool.

We are back at the Anderson Camp

on Clary Lake in Whitefield.

We've got two windows here looking into the master

bedroom, or I guess master bedroom

looking out onto the water.

Got a porch area here.

Totally rebuilt. A lot more rot than expected.

Jed came in, rebuilt the front.

New windows right across to let all

the light in and take advantage of looking at the water.

Long living space right here.

A doorway into the single master bedroom with the closet.

Got a long area here for a kitchen

tucked back in that corner.

Got a bathroom here with a composting toilet.

Entrance to the bathroom will be right here.

And you got a mud room slash storage area right there.

So today, the plan is to finish siding up this.

Tree stumps are gone.

Roots are out of here.

Working on getting this side today.

Waiting for the windows to arrive.

Waiting for the door to arrive.

But we can frame in the new deck.

It's going to come off to the side.

And the front is totally completed,

and this is shows what it's going to look like.

It's nice off-white trim with the orange stain.

The place is going to look great.

This is our go-to siding when our camp's a little wavy.

We got this camp back.

Jed and his team did a really good job getting

the camp back as well as they can,

but there's some waving to it.

With the rough cut siding and the nice stain on it,

you won't even see it.

So this is a go-to for us when we have wavy camps.

With a little in and out stuff, you'll never know.

One of our secrets.

If we want to start siding, we got

to have a door in, unless let's you want to put

the cart before the horse.

My biggest fear when installing a door is it's

not going to fit.

So even being a half inch too small can lead to at least a

half hour to an hour's worth of work.

You're always better off to make a larger opening and shrink it

than you are to make a smaller opening

and have to cut it apart.

Oh, look at that.

Hey.

Oh, this didn't get cut all the way through.

Didn't get ripped off.

JEDI: Just do your job.

DIXIE: A little ahead of myself.

JEDI: Wah, wah.

[music playing]

So when I was lifting to door up into the opening,

I realized that we needed at least another 1/2 inch.

So I was able to put one-inch stock back in

and it was actually a pretty easy fix.

It was just a little bit too small.

So we took one of our two by four jacks out

and replaced it with a piece of one by,

so at least it will still have a jack with a header to sit on,

and it gave us ample room so we can adjust the door.

Love the colors on this place.

I don't know why I love this place so much.

It's pretty sweet.

Good morning.

Hi, honey.

What's going on?

What's up?

I was talking to Jedi about the plan.

The place looks awesome, huh?

Oh, yeah.

All these stumps are gone.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I wore it just to match the camp.

You kind of match.

This was intentional.

The color, I think, came out fabulous.

I wore this shirt on purpose to match the camp today.

Oh, look, I wouldn't even know you were there.

Gavs, I got you a helper.

Her shirt's the same color.

She won't manage to get some paint on it.

One down, a whole house to go.

I'm just sitting some flashing on top of our skirt board.

Once the flashing's on and we can start side,

we're ready to go.

This house will be closed up by the end of the day.

Nick's got our vent pulled out, all repainted.

Vent's put back together.

I'll get our side on.

We can trim that out, walk away.

You know, this white trim's really going

to need make that orange pop.

The homeowners really wanted a cool color.

The orange, pretty much they took the cup in to match it,

Ashley did.

This really makes it pop.

It looks really good.

They're going to be known on the lake as the cool camp.

So this is the side entrance here.

There's going to be a 10' wide, 8' deep deck right here.

In front of the camp is totally done.

Windows are in.

Trim is up.

Siding's up.

We got Gavin here today, finishing,

staining a lot of the boards.

We can't put them all on because we're

still waiting on some windows.

While we're waiting on that, we can get the back end,

the non-water side gable done, and then we can frame up

the deck for the side entrance.

A carpenter's favorite tool, you know.

Actually a hammer, bu you know, chisel.

Works with shovel, rope puller.

Does it all.

I wouldn't have my nice framing hammer in here,

but this is Chase's hammer, so as long as he's not looking,

we're OK.

Break it.

We had all the material here to frame up the deck.

We got the frame done with the pressure-treater.

We're going to use some cedar.

It's a small deck, so might as well do

something a little nicer.

20 work for you?

I've got to move that.

23.

Michael Jordan it is.

23?

Keep going.

It's supposed to be 120.

- There's a line drawn on it. - Oh, hold on.

I got to take off a little bit.

My bad.

Three inches.

That's where I need to be.

That's where you need to be?

Right there.

As we finish up framing the deck,

something didn't look right.

120.

My numbers weren't adding up.

Something is going... something.

What did I do?

Our plan is to get this deck done today.

If I have to rebuild this, it's not going to happen today.

Something's not right.

How did I do that?

[music playing]

What did I do?

Something's not right.

We're in the middle of week four at Clary Lake when Chase and I

were reframing off the deck, and I

realized I made a big mistake.

117.

Oh, we split the wrong spot.

It's supposed to be screwed this way.

Thank God.

[laughs] How did I do that?

I'll let you go first.

You got it.

- How's it going? - Good.

How are you?

Doing all right.

This looks like it's been here for a while,

so we can probably... Looks structurally OK.

Yeah.

We'll leave that in place and we'll put a ramp at the bottom

so they don't have to climb over those rocks.

And I think we'll do something out

straight with a '6 wide I with a bench and some solar lights.

Oh, nice.

They can sit out there and they'll have a nice camp

and a nice dock to use.

Yeah, absolutely.

Absolutely.

Yeah, that's anchored well.

That's not going anywhere.

Perfect.

We'll leave it in place and go right off of it.

- Fantastic. - Love it.

Sounds like a plan. - All right.

Holler if you need anything. - All right.

Thanks a lot.

CHASE: Jeff showed up today from Great Northern Dock.

They brought down a new dock.

That was one of Charlene's asks was for a new dock.

They had an older, frustrated one, heavy.

They brought down new aluminum with composite decking,

and we got two sections out.

Did an L. Has solar lights.

Got a bench to sit right out there.

It's got a ladder out of the water.

It's a great new setup that will really

help them enjoy the water.

Let's set the guys up for success.

33 and three little piggies.

Wee, wee, wee.

This little piggy went wee, wee, wee.

All the way home.

CHASE: Now that the dock is being installed

and we've got a good rhythm going on,

Ashley's working on helping Jedi and Dixie with the siding

while Ryan and I are framing up the new deck

and building the stringers for the stairs.

I was just sketching out a moonshine bottle chandelier.

Supposedly, you can get a bottle of moonshine

and a massage for five bucks.

That's actually a cool idea, because you

can get a nice Edison bulb, put it in here.

And then I was thinking right above the sink here.

Three would probably be enough.

I don't think anymore because it's a small space.

I mean, obviously, it's going to be a little bit better.

But picture this.

How do you like my chandelier?

1, 2, 3.

That'd look great, Ashley.

Anyway, so that's the idea I'm going for.

Obviously, it will be a little bit better than this,

but I think it's going to work.

Fancy.

Dive right into it.

Can't wait to dive right in there.

Ooh.

You guys get the dock and I lose all my help, huh?

[laughs]

Nice job.

That thing's awesome.

Yeah.

Very nice.

They usually don't get along this well

so we'll let them enjoy it.

Hey, Ry, you can finish that deck by yourself, right?

You guys are enjoying each other's company for once.

I'll take care of this.

Oh, yeah.

Look at that.

He's going to finish strong.

It's not how you start the day, it's how you finish, right?

This is finishing up the week.

Oh.

There it is.

Perfect.

Yay.

Next steps are to get the windows,

get the doors installed so we can finish

the siding on the exterior.

Get some cedar to finish off the deck,

and then move to the interior.

Once the electricity's in, we can close in the walls.

I think we'll go with a pine v-match,

and then we're going to do a rough oak plank flooring.

The walls, ceilings floors.

Put the kitchen in.

Put the bathroom back together, and be good.

All right, we're out of here, guys.

It's Friday.

[music playing]

Hey, Chase.

Today, I'm out here doing special projects with Chase.

What I want to do is make a chandelier.

Remember the whole moonshine situation there?

So I came out with the materials.

I just needed something to kind of case them to hold them in.

Chase had this old... Of course Chase

had... this old light fixture.

So I took it apart, sanded it down, spray-painted it.

And then Chase took the Mason jar, drilled a hole

in the top of the Mason jar, put the light fixture in, and boom.

We have a Mason jar chandelier.

Whoo.

[laughs] - Yeah.

Yeah.

To give it an updated look, we've chosen Edison bulbs,

and I think it came out awesome.

Thank you for your help.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh.

Kind of went for a whole funky feel.

Whoo.

You were pretty close.

[laughs]

Oh my gosh.

Oh my gosh.

That's awesome.

CHARLENE: Oh, I'm going to cry.

[music playing]

CHASE: So we are halfway through our last field day

at the Anderson Camp.

We've got the back stairs that have gone in.

We've got the kitchen cabinets going in.

Doug's working on the plumbing.

Nick's building the slider doors for the bathroom

and the bedroom.

Ashley is out front working on finishing

off the trim and the two windows into the master bedroom.

And Ryan is working on the trim for the side door.

Nick, I really like what you're doing here.

You got yourselves some door handles, I see.

You got these branches that you just found off in the woods,

real ergonomically correct.

Good job.

Nice work, bud.

- Way to get a handle on it. - Appreciate it.

- Thanks, Nick. - Yeah.

We could have gone to a lumberyard or the store

and spend $25, $30, $40, $50 on some handles

that were manufactured somewhere.

We got all the handles we need right here in the main woods.

It's hardwood, but real soft.

- All right. - Yes.

Yes.

Whoo.

Everybody come try the door handle.

So now Jake and I are going to figure out how

far I want them to hang down.

So Jake's going to get some tape so we can mark them off.

And then Chase will put them through here

and stop them right where we want them.

Jake and I were finishing up moonshine chandelier,

which is wicked cool.

Oh.

[laughs] That could have been trouble.

Could have been.

Oh, she survived.

Wow.

These Mason jars, they don't break.

I can't wait to see it together in that space.

And then pretty much all that's left is for my cleaning crew

to come in and then my design team.

Please do the honors.

Whoa.

We're wrapping everything up now.

Today there was a lot going on.

We had Doug here.

He was connecting all the plumbing.

We needed to install the kitchen cabinets, kitchen countertop.

Oh, wow.

Gorgeous.

There's some trim work that needs to be finished up.

I think we wrapped stuff up on our end.

It's time for Ashley to come in here with her team

and get the place ready to hand back over to camp owners.

Does Alex know we're done?

That's usually Ashley's sixth sense.

[laughs]

We are done.

Let's go.

We're not done.

Why?

Furniture, your team.

That's tomorrow. We're done.

We're done.

- Come on, guys. - Come on, guys.

- Charlie. - Charles.

Come on, Charles.

Come on, Gussie.

Come on, Gus.

My little buddies.

CHASE: Charles is in charge.

ASHLEY: Orange you glad it's done?

[music continuing]

Our crew and I have been here working

for the past couple of days, and the place

came together absolutely great.

We went for a whole funky feel and funky colors

and bright colors, funky pieces to put throughout the camp.

This is a type of camp where you can

get away with that because they have a funky sort of style.

Flag's out.

Camp is open.

So we had $50,000 and 10 weeks to get this project completed.

We got done about eight weeks, so we got done a little

early, right on budget.

Camp is done.

ASHLEY: Tupperware.

How close were we?

We were pretty close.

Pretty close.

Frances has stepped up his potted plant game, too.

I mean, come on.

Those sunflowers out front are beautiful.

They really contrast the camp nicely.

Let's go meet them.

Nice job.

Oh, I love the wind...

I love the kitchen window.

[laughs]

I can't believe it.

I can't believe it.

CHASE: Welcome back.

CHARLENE: It is orange.

CHASE: You wanted it to pop.

CHARLENE: Oh, love it.

Oh my gosh.

PENNY LYNN: Oh my gosh.

CHARLENE: Oh my gosh.

[music playing]

ASHLEY: It looks good.

I think it's done.

$50,000 and 10 weeks.

We got it done in eight.

We're ready to give it back.

Let's go.

Oh my god.

I can't believe it.

It looks like a brand new cabin.

No kidding.

Oh, I love the wind...

I love the kitchen window.

[laughs]

I can't believe it.

I can't believe it.

Nice.

Oh, I'm going to cry.

I was wondering if I was going to cry.

Hey, Charlene.

Hey, Penny Lynn.

PENNY LYNN: Oh, that looks so awesome.

CHASE: Welcome back.

ASHLEY: It's not red and it's not green.

PENNY LYNN: That's awesome.

ASHLEY: It's orange.

CHASE: You wanted it to pop.

CHARLENE: Oh.

That is amazing.

PENNY LYNN: That's awesome.

ASHLEY: How are you?

- Awesome. - Good.

Welcome back, guys.

Welcome back.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh my gosh.

What do you think?

Wow.

Well, I...

[laughs]

PENNY LYNN: You dumbfoundead, honey?

I don't know what to say.

It's just like...

Yeah.

[laughs]

I'll admit.

I woke up probably about a month or so ago and said,

did I do the right thing?

I gave someone like carte blanche

to do pretty much whatever they wanted to do,

other than what we discussed.

And like was that a good investment?

Totally.

We started in the ground with the holding tank and worked up.

Jacked and reposted everything.

Leveled it out.

Those stumps have been ripped out.

All the roots have been hauled.

CHARLENE: Oh my god.

ASHLEY: No more tripping hazard.

CHARLENE: No more tripping hazards.

No more human speed bumps.

[laughs]

ASHLEY: Clearly you like bright colors, so we went with it.

We found these Tupperware cups inside

and we got inspired by it.

We're like, this tough orange Tupperware cup, let's do it,

Chase.

PENNY LYNN: Nice, nice.

ASHLEY: And that's how we kind of ran with the theme.

CHASE: New windows throughout.

CHARLENE: Oh, yeah.

ASHLEY: No more widowmakers.

CHARLENE: No more widowmakers.

Thank goodness.

I didn't ask for the stumps to like removed because I

thought that's asking too much.

I was hopeful.

And yeah, they're gone now.

[music continuing]

All right, well, you guys are dying to get inside.

Yeah, totally.

Head on in.

All right.

Thank you.

Oh my gosh, this is awesome.

Oh my gosh.

Oh my gosh.

PENNY LYNN: Oh my gosh.

CHARLENE: Oh my gosh.

This is awesome.

I love it.

Look at.

I love it.

You must have read my mind.

You must have read my mind.

CHASE: New bathroom, new plumbing.

Got a composted toilet.

CHARLENE: Wow.

CHASE: Shower.

CHARLENE: This is awesome.

A real bathroom.

CHASE: A real bathroom.

CHARLENE: We only talked to like Chase and Ashley that one time,

and they listened to everything that we said.

It's not like we talked for a long, long time.

They got it.

They got it.

They got it spot on.

ASHLEY: We made this cool chandelier.

We've told the story to everyone the whole time.

[laughs]

Did you find an empty bottle of moonshine?

We did not.

Holy cow.

Yeah, check out the master bedroom.

Look at.

Oh.

Look at this.

PENNY LYNN: That's awesome.

CHARLENE: You kept with the theme of the windows.

ASHLEY: It allows the breeze to come through

and it allows for light, and it's

just a cute, little feature.

CHARLENE: Fantastic.

Wow.

PENNY LYNN: This is awesome.

Charlene, look at.

That is cool.

PENNY LYNN: I love all the wood.

Yeah.

I love the ceiling, the lightness of the ceiling.

CHASE: So yeah, we left the original on the porch area.

Just kind of show what it was originally.

New windows.

The walls are all insulated.

We want to go grab my mother.

She needs to come see this. - Of course.

Of course.

Yeah, this is just unbelievable.

My mom's name is Gwen and my dad's name is Don.

He passed away.

My father would probably be so thrilled

to see this, and also at the same time be like,

what took you so long?

[laughs]

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Look.

[laughs]

She wouldn't come up here because you'd

have to go to the outhouse and there was no running water.

And as she got older, it got more

difficult for them to do that.

But now with running water and a compost toilet

and a shower and stuff, if she wants to, she can come up here.

Yeah.

I think feel completely comfortable.

Yeah.

Look.

We can do this instead of this.

[laughs]

And we can sit here and not worry about it falling on us.

PENNY LYNN: Yeah.

Yeah.

We have one more thing to show you outside,

so let's head on out to the deck.

I love this, too.

Hello.

Thank you.

You read my mind.

You keep reading my mind, Chase.

The sliding doors are awesome.

Ashley listened.

Want pop.

Want light colors.

I mean, it was just, yeah.

CHASE: Got this nice, beautiful new deck

to go along with the camp.

And you've seen the beautiful new dock system.

ASHLEY: Put a nice, little bench out there you can sit on.

PENNY LYNN: The dock is going to be so nice for us to go out.

We haven't had a dock in a long, long time.

Yeah, in a long time.

The camp's ready to go.

It's all yours.

You just need the keys.

Great.

Great.

There you go.

Do you want the keys?

No.

[laughs]

Oh, even better.

CHASE: It's all yours.

It's not mine anymore.

It was really overwhelming when I started to look at,

how do I fix up this cottage?

And started to get quotes and stuff, and looking at it,

and how do I do this and what steps do I take?

And bringing in the Maine Cabin Masters, just their experience,

they were able to just get in there and get it done.

Without them, this wouldn't have happened

in such a short period of time.

I'm overwhelmed by it, and I had really high expectations

and my high expectations were exceeded.

PENNY LYNN: Would you say that you're

tickled pink about this place?

No, tickled burnt orange.

[laughs]

Burnt orange.

Here's to that.
