60 MILES FROM THE HOMESTEAD,

ON DESOLATE PERL ISLAND,

JANE AND ATZ LEE
HAVE RECRUITED FRIENDS

JAMED MI
TOELP EIR IEND

GRADY TACKLE
A CHALLENGING CABIN BUILD,

CRUCL TO ESTABSHING
HIS FIRST HOMEEAD.

I'VE BEEN HELPING GRADY
TRY TO GET A HOMESTEAD GOING

ON PL NOFOR VERAYEAR

HE'S HAD SOME HEALTH PROBLEMS,
HAD A HEART ATTACK,

LOTSF SEACKS
TS OSTOR --

ALL KINDS OF JUST TRIALS
AND TRIBULATIONS.

PICKED A NICE SPOT HERE, GRADY!

THANKS.
BEST INVESTMENT OF MY LIFE.

NOW WE CAN BUILD THE CIN,

ANWE HE A AM OPEOPLE
THAT CAN GET THE JOB DONE.

THIS IS , RIT HE?

THI SO.
-THE PLANS?

THESE E ALL
THE EXTERIORALLS.

-GOOD.
-IT'S ONLY 8x16.

IT'S A SMALL GUY, BUT IT'S
BUILT ON A BIG, SQUARE DECK.

SO THAT'LL HELP PREVENT IT
FROM BLOWING OVER.

GRADY CAME UP WITH THE PLANS
FOR HIS CABIN HIMSELF --

KIND OF A FUNKY DESIGN
WHERE IT'S GOT TWO BIG DECKS,

AND HIS CABIN'S IN THE MIDDLE.

SO THE FIRST THING WE HAVE TO DO
IS START FOUNDATION.

SO HE HAS THESE CONCRETE
FOOTERS,

AND THEN YOU PUT YOUR BIG, HUGE
STRINGER JOISTS ON TOP OF THAT,

AND THEN FLOOR JOISTS CAPPED
WITH SOME TREATED PLYWOOD,

AND THAT CABIN IS ACTUALLY
GONNA BE BUILT ON THAT.

SO, WE GOT PLANS.

WE GOT MATERIALS SPREAD OUT
ALL OVER THE ISLAND.

YEP.

PE IS TUAT IN PROBABLY
ONE OF THE WORST AREAS,

IN TERMS OF WEATHER.

WE STARTED BRINGING MATERIALS
OUT HERE ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO,

BUT EVERYTHING I TRY AND DO HERE
SEEMS TO NOT GO I PLANNED.

I'VEADE VERATRIPS
TO BRING MATERIALS.

AND EACH TIME, THE WEATHER
THE CHANGES, THE TIDES CHANGE,

AND HAVTO DROP MATERIALS
OFF ON ALL PARTS OF THE ISLAND.

I'M GONNA STT
WITH THE EXCAVATOR,

TAKI DOWN THIS GRASS AND
GETTG IT KIND OF PACKED DOWN.

OKAY.

PEOPLE CAN START DRAGGING ALL
THIS FLOOR MATERIAL DOWN HERE.

IT'S GONNA BE A LOT OF WORK
BRI IT L IN ONELACE

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT CONDITION TRE I

I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF
ALL IS SFF ISTILHERE

IT'S ALL UNKNOWN AT THIS POINT.

TEAM GRADY'S CABIN.

-SOUNDS GREAT.
-ON THREE.

1, 2, 3 -- GRADY'S CABIN!
-WHOA!

GRADY REALLY WANTS TO MAKE
THIS HOMESTEAD ON PERL HAPPEN,

ANI CARELA
TO THAT A LOT.

I REALLY DO LIKE
LIVING THIS LIFESTYLE.

I LIKE HELPING PEOPLE OUT.
I'VE GOT THE TIME.

I'VE GOT THE KNOWLEDGE.

I WANT TO GIVE GRADY A HAND.

IT'S TWO...

YEAH,
TWO LAYERS OF THREE.

Jane: I THINK ANYTIME
YOU'RE BUILDING A CABIN,

SURE, THERE'S REALLY
EXPERIENCED CARPENTERS

OUT HERE DOING THEIR THING,
BUT THERE'S ALWAYS, LIKE,

THE LITTLE MINUSCULE, LIKE,
ANT WORK KIND OF STUFF.

AND THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE,

AND I'M HAPPY TO DO IT,
HAPPY TO HELP.

I'VE NEVER SEEN
MORE BEAUTIFUL WOOD.

-PEOPLE PAY FOR THIS.
-CHARACTER.

YEAH, THIS IS
PERL ISLAND-AGED WOOD.

Atz Lee: HOPE HE DOESN'T
HAVE BIG EAVES.

I LOVE BIG EAVES,
EXCEPT FOR PERL ISLAND --

THEN IT JUST TURNS
INTO A KITE.

IT'S GETTING TOWARDS THE END
OF THE SUMMER.

THE STORMS DEFINITELY GET WORSE
AS YOU GET INTO THE FALL.

THWINDGET GGER

ITS NOT PRACTICAL TO BUILD
OUT THERE IN THE WINTER,

SO WE'RE GONNA GET THIS CABIN
BUILT, NO MATTER WHAT.

WE'RE GONNA WANT TO...

PUSH IT TOWARDS ME?

YEAH.

Narrator: ON THE KILCHER
HOMESTEAD, OTTO, CHARLOTTE,

AND THEIR SON AUGUST REPURPOSE

A HISTORICAL
HOMESTEAD STRUCTURE --

THE LEGENDARY
BRU WILRD'SHED.

WHAT'S NEXT?

WELL, I THINK IT'S KIND OF
THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM HERE.

WE ARE MAKING ROOM
FOR UCE LLARS CAN.

MY GOOD OLD FRIEND BRUCE WILLARD
DIED A FEW YEARS AGO.

THE WILLARD SHED WAS HEART
OF ALL OF BRUCE'S RMING.

IT'S NOW GONNA BECOME THE HEART
OF ALL OF MY FARMING NEEDS,

PLUS BECOME MY MAN CAVE.

SO NOW THE BIG MOMENTUM
ANE PU FORE

IS TO BE ABLE
TO GET IN THERE

WITHOUT KILLING OURSELVES,
BASICALLY.

SO THE NEXT STEP IS BUILDING
A BIT OF A DECK

IN FRONT OF THE DOOR
TO GET INTO THE SHED.

AND THEN, ONCE I GET IN THERE,
I CAN PUT ALL MY STUFF AWAY,

SIT DOWN IN MY CHAIR
I GOT FROM BRUCE WILLARD,

PUT MY FOOT UP ON THE BENCH,
AND DRINK A PINT OF HOME BREW.

WE'RE GONNA GET ALL OF
THE SHOP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT

OUT OF OUR HOUSE.

IT'S TAKEN UP
A WHOLE FLOOR FOR YEARS,

SO I'M JUST SUPER JAZZED.

WHAT I REALLY NEED IS SOME
RELY LG 2x.

AUGUST, I THINK THERE'S ONE LONG
ONE UP ON THE DECK UP ERE.

WOULD YOU GO SEE
HOW LONG THAT ONE IS?

FOR THIS DECK, WE NEED WOOD
THAT'S GONNA HOLD UP

TO A LOT OF ABUSE.

WHAT ABOUT ANY
OFHE SFFOLNG?

COULD WE USE THAT?

WE'RE DONE WITH IT.
-OH, MY GOD.

THERE IS SOME LONG ONES
UP THERE.

AND WE DON'T NEED THAT ANYMORE
BECAUSE WE HAVE WIDOWALK

-MM-HMM.
-WHAT DO YOU THINK?

LET'S DO IT.

THE SCAFFOLDING HAS BEEN UP
ON OUR HOUSE FOREVER.

IT WAS PART OF
THE BUILDING PROCESS,

AND WE REALLY DON'T EVEN
HAVE A NEED FOR IT ANYMO

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL
WE'RE DOING,

BUT IT'S LKINGKETC.

PULLING THIS SCAFFOLDING DOWN

COULD BE ALMOST MORE
DANGEROUS THAN PUTTING IT UP.

BUT WE'RE BUILDING A MAN CAVE,

ANWE'RPLAYING
MAN GAMES TO GET IT.

MN, AT'S TOU
SOOF AITCH

HOLY MOLY, YOU GUYS.
COME HERE.

OttoAUGU!
AT A YOU DOING?

OH, MY GOD!
WATCH IT!

ARYOU AY?

-DANG IT!
-OH, M, LO AT THAT.

YOU WANT TO SEE IF
THERE'S ANY HOLES IN ME?

-WHAHAPPED?
-NOTNG, THIN NOTNG.

OH, ST A- I INK A NAIL
CAME DOWN AND GOT ME.

RIGHT.

Charlotte: OTTO DOESN'T REALLY
NOTICE WHEN HE GETS HURT.

-I'M FINE.
-HE'S GOT TO REALLY BE TAKEN OUT

BEFORE HE'LL STOP DOWN
FOR ANYTHING.

WILL YOU GUYS PLEASE BE CAREFU
-OKA AUGT.

THIS IS
TOTALLY FREAKING ME OUT.

August: DEMOLITION WORK IS FUN,
BUT IT'S EQUALLY TERRIING.

IF YOU'RE IN THE WRONG PLACE
AT THE WRONG TIME,

YOU COULD HAVE
AN ENTIRE BUILDING

FALLING RIGHT ON YOUR FACE.

-HERE'S WHAT I'M THINKING.
-WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

I'M THINKING WE COULD SEND YOU
UP THERE WITH A CROWBAR,

AND YOU COULD JUST
START PULLING THINGS.

-BE CAREFUL, AUGUST.
-I'LL CATCH YOU, BOY.

DON'T DROP IT
ON YOUR DAD!

-WHOA!
-ARE YOU READY, DAD?

NOW 'S ROCKING.

PROBABLY NOT A GOOD PLACE
TO BE OUT THERE, CHARLOTTE.

WHOA! LET HER GO.
LEHER .

H [BLEEP] AAH!
-WHOA!

OH, MY GOD.

WHOA!

WE, TH DIDT GOIKE
WE THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA GO.

AUGUST AND I GOT
A LITTLE BIT CAREFREE

IN THE DESTRUCTION PROCESS,

AND CHARLOTTE FREAKED OUT,
OF COURSE.

CHARLOTTE IS ALWAYS CAUTIOUS,

AND CHARLOTTE DOESN'T DANCE
QUITE AS CLOSE TO THE EDGE.

WHICH ACTUALLY SURPRISES ME
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,

CHARLOTTE USED TO BE
A ROCK CLIFF CLIMBER.

GO FIGURE THAT.

LET'S GET WORKING ON THE DECK.

THAT A CERTAIN KIND
OF NATURALNESS AND WILDNESS

IS IMPORTANT TO BEING
CIVILIZED IN OUR HEARTS.

OH! I THINK
WE JUST GOT A NOSE JOB.

[ LAUGHS ]

[ BOODELG ]

-HI!
-HI, DAUGHTER.

Atz: WELCOME TO THE HOMESTEAD
OF LONG AGO.

OH, MY GOSH,
THIS IS AMAZING.

MY SON IS 6.
HE'S ABOUT TO TURN 7.

BOYS AT THIS AGE LOVE
TO LEARN HOW TO DO THINGS,

AND I LIVE IN A CITY.
-OKAY!

I TRY AND BRING MY SON UP HERE
AS MUCH AS I CAN

SO THAT HE CAN BE AROUND NATURE,
AND NATURE CAN BE THE TEACHER

THAT REMINDS HIM
WHAT IT IS TO BE HUMAN.

THAN.
IS IAMAZG.

-HEY.
-WHAT A SPOT IN THE WORLD.

WE GOT SMOKEHOUSE.
WE GOT CABIN. WE GOT A GARDEN.

I LOVE
THE PIONEER SPIRIT.

D WH I CE
TO T YULETIDE,

IT WAS CLASSIC PIONEER.

THE BUOYS MADE INTO
LITTLE GARDENS.

EVERYTHING HAS A PURPOSE
AND A DOUBLE PURPOSE.

IT'S IN ONE OF THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL PLACES

I'VE EVER SEEN ON THE PLANET.

7 IS BIGEAR.

YOU'RE NO LONGER
JUST A LITTLE BOY,

WHWE DEVERHING
FOR U.

YOU'RE BECOMING
A YOUNN.

THE BIG PLAN
FOR HAVING JEWEL AND KASE

VISIT HAVE TO DO
WITH HIS SEVENTH BIRTHDAY.

IN INDIGENOUS CULTURES,
EY UD TOAVE METHG

CALLED
A RITE OF PASSAGE,

AND THAT MEANT THAT YOU EARNED
THE NEXT PHASE OF YOUR LIFE.

AND SO THIS YEAR,
IT'S THE IDEA OF EARNING 7

INSTEAD OF TURNING 7.

KASE IS GOING FROM A TODDLER
WHO GETS MORE CATERED TO,

TO A YOUNG MAN.

SO I THOUGHT WE WOULD HAVE
THREE CHALLENGES FOR YOU.

IT REALLY STARTS TO BE ABOUT

BUILDING A SELF-ESTEEM
FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

ONE THING IS WHEN YOU HAVE
REAL WEALTH,

YOU HAVE SO MUCH,
YOU CAN GIVE IT AY.

AND SO I ASKED YOU
TO PICK OUT SOMETHING

AT'S A FAVORITE THING
OF YOURS,

AND WE'RE GONNA FIND
A SPECIAL PLACE TO BURY IT,

AND YOU'RE
GONNA GIVE IT AWAY.

THEN THE SECOND THING
I WANT YOU TO DO

IS BUILD
A BOX OF MORIE

AND EVERY YEAR, YOU'RE GONNA
PUT SOMETHING IN IT

THAT SUMS UP
THE YEAR FOR YOU.

SOUND GOOD?
-MM-HMM.

AND THEN, LASTLY,
ONE THING I LEARNED

IS WN A YOUNG MAN
CATCHES THEIR FIRST FISH,

TO SHOW THAT THEY'RE NOW ABLE
TO GE TOHEIROMMUTY,

NOT JUST GET, THEY GIVE AWAY
THEIR FIRST CATCH.

YOU'RE GONNA CATCH A FISH,
AND YOU'RE GONNA GIVE IT

TO ME AND OPA,
AND WE'LL CELEBRATE YOU.

SO, WHAT SHOULD WE
START WITH?

MAYBE RY
METHG SPIAL?

YOU T SOTHING
ALREADY PICKED OUT?

MM, A SPECIAL STONE.

KASE IS A CRYSTAL SQUIRREL.

HE HAS SO MANY LITTLE
CRYSTAL TREASURES.

AND THAT'S ONE OF HIS
FAVORITE ONES,

AND SO IT'S VERY SIGNIFICANT
TO HIM TO GIVE AWAY.

OKAY,
LET'S GO G REA.

OF CONSTRUCTION

ON THE OLD WILLARD SHED --

A DECK, WHICH WILL PROVIDE
ACCESS TO OTTO'S NEW WORKSHOP.

THE FIRST THING WE HAVE TO DO IS
PUT DOWN SOME CONCRETE PIERS...

LOOKS PRETTY DOGGONE LEVEL.

...THEN PUTTING SOME POSTS
TO BLD ARAME

TURN IT 180.

THEN WE'LL BE READY TO NAIL
THE DECK BOARDS DOWN.

GOOD ENOUGH.

THIS YEAR, AUGUST IS TAKING
A LITTLE TIME OFF FROM COLLEGE.

HE JUST WANTED TO COME HOME

AND SINK HIS TEETH
INTO HOMESTEADING.

OKAY, LET'S MAKE THIS

HE'S JUST REALLY STEPPING UP

D I HAVE THREE THINGS

THAT HE'LL BE DOING
AS HIS RITE OF PASSAGE.

ONE WILL BE GIVING AWAY

SOMETHING THAT'S
VERY IMPORTANT TO HIM

SO THAT HE CAN UNDERSTAND
THAT WEALTH IS ACTUALLY

IN HOW MUCH YOU CAN GIVE,
NOT IN HOW MUCH YOU GET.

WHICH WAY ARE WE HEADED?

WE'RE GOING THAT WAY.

GOING TO BURY A TREASURE.

WHOO-HOO,
WHOO-HOO!

Atz:
KASE IS A CRYSTAL COLLECTOR,

AND THIS PARTICULAR CRYSTAL
IS HIS FAVORITE ONE.

HE'S HAD FOR MORE
THAN HALF OF HIS LIFE.

THIS IS FUN!

IT'S HARD FOR ANYBODY TO GIVE
SOMETHING AWAY

THAT YOU LOVE,
THAT MEANS A LOT TO YOU.

YOU WORKED HARD TO GET IT,
AND THEN TO GIVE IT AWAY?

BUT IT REALLY HELPS YOU
DELOP D GR,

AND MAKES ROOM FOR SOMETHING
BIGGER AND BETTER TO COME ALONG.

-OHH, AND LO OVER HERE.
-OOH.

OH, YEAH,
LET'S THIWAY.

WANT TO GET
YOUR TREASURE OUT?

OKEYDOKEY.

OH, THAT'STEP ONE.

SH IT OPA

THIS ONE REMINDED ME
OF THE EARTH

AND HOW WE'VE ALWAYS
LIVED ON IT,

AND WE'VE
NEVER THANKED IT.

SO I'M GONNA THANK
THE EARTH WITH THIS.

Jewel: I REALLY ADMIRE
RITES OF PASSAGE.

THEY REALLY HONOR AN INDIVIDUAL
AND MAKE A PERSON FEEL PROUD.

WHERE DO YOU
NT TPUT ?

RIGHT HERE
WILL BE THE BEST.

OKAY.

SO I HOPE MY SON KNOWS
THAT HE'S CAPABLE.

I HOPE MY SON KNOWS
THAT HE'S SKILLED,

AND HAS CONFIDENCE
IN HIS ABILITIES

TO FACE A CHALLENGE
AND TO FIGURE IT OUT.

I'M REALLY PROUD
OF YOU, KASE.

I'M PROUD OF YOU
FOR DOING THAT.

THAT WAS A HARD THING
TO GIVE AWAY.

I KNOW HOW MUCH
YOU LOVED THAT.

A TIT WEHER NDOW

TOELP ADY NSTRT A BIN,

FULFILLING A LIFELONG DREAM
OF CREATINHIS RST MESTD,

BEFORE THE FALL STORM SEASON
JEOPARDIZES COMPLETION.

Grady: THE WEATHER'S
A HUGE FACTOR OUT HERE.

I MEAN, WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE GULF OF ALASK

AND EXPOSED TO EVERYTHING --
HIGH SEAS, HIGH WINDS.

WE'RE BUILDING THE CABIN
IN A CERTAIN DIRECTION

SO THAT THE WIND COULD PASS

BY THE LEAST AMOUNT
OF SURFACE AREA.

I'LL GRAB MY TOOL BAG.

Atz Lee: THE FIRST THING WE HAVE
TO DO IS START THE FOUNDATIO

SO HE HAS THESE CONCRE
FOOTERS,

D TH YOUUT YOUR BIG,UGE
STRINGER JOISTS ON TOP OF THAT,

AND THAT'S YOUR FOUNDATION.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY CONCRETE
FOR THE MIDDLE EXTERIOR.

BUT WE'RE GONNA NEED AT LEAST
TWO MORE FOOTERS OF SOME SORT.

SO WE NEED TO COME UP
WI TWOORE OTER

COULD WE USE SOMETHING
AS A TEMPORARY POINT?

'CAUSE I D'T KNOW WHERE
THEY'D EVEN BE, TO BE HONEST.

I MEAN...

GRADY'S CABIN ISITTI
THE CEMT FOERS.

EY'RKINDF LI, YOKNOW
G PA,

BIG ELEPHANT FEET --
GOOD, STABLE.

THEY HOLEVERYTHING UP
ON TOP OF IT.

WE NEED SIX OF THOSE.

AS WE START LOOKING AROUND,

GRADY UNFORTUNATELY
CAN ONLY FIND FOUR OF THEM.

IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE
THAT'S JUST GONNA STOP

THE ENTIRE PROJECT.

I MEAN, WITHOUT
A GOOD FOUNDATION,

IT'S NOT EVEN WORTH
BUILDING A CABIN

I DON'T KNOW, BUT I WAS
THINKING A HOLE POST.

THEN WE'D JUST
NEED WEIGHT.

-RIGHT.
-WE COULD DO THE OLD

COILA FOOTER AND DIG A LITTLE
HOLE AND PUT IN BEACH ROCKS

AND JUST PUT A STUMP
ON TOP OF THE ROCKS.

RIGHT.
SOUNDS GOOD.

YOKNOWYOU ST G TO ND
OF ROLL WITH THECHES

WE ONLY HAD FOUR CONCRETE
FOOTERS.

WE NEEDED SIX.

AND FIRST THING THAT POPPED
IN MY MIND

WAS MY GOOD FRIEND JOHN COILA
SHOWING ME A GREAT MHOD

OF DOING A FOUNDATION
IN THE BACKCOUNTRY.

IF YOU'VE GOT ROCKS
LAYING AROUND,

THAT'S ALL YOU REALLY NEED.
THAT'S THE NEXT STEP.

WE NEED THIS CENTER BEAM
IN HERE.

YOU KNOW, AND YOU CAN
JUST DIGOLE,

FILL IT FULL OF ROCKS,
GET A STUMP,

PUT IT ON P OF THAT,
AND YOU CAN BUILD YOUR FLOORS.

ALASKA IS FULL
OF ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE.

THERE'S JUST A DRAW
ABOUT THIS COUNTRY,

ABOUT THIS FREEDOM,
ABOUT THIS LIFESTYLE,

BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE
COME UP AND FAIL.

THIS IS THE LONGER ONE.

GREWP BEG TAHT SLLS

YOU KNOW, HOW TO SURVIVE,
HOW TO LIVE OFF THE LAND,

HOW TO BUILD
SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING.

ALSO, I JUST WANT TO THRIVE

AND HELP OER HESTEERS
AND T TH GOI.

I FEEL LIKE I HAVE
A SECOND LEASE AT LIFE.

I FEEL LIKADSHARES THAT
WITH ME AS WELL NOW, TOO.

AND I JUST WANT TO FOCUS
AND GET THIS THING SET UP

SO THAT WHEN THE WINTER STORMS
ARE RAGING,

HE'S WARM, HE'S HAPPY,
AND HE'S LIVING THE DREAM.

BOOM!

1/2, BABY.

WE HAVE GOT REPLACENT OTER

NOW WE GOT TPICK UP THIS
INCREDIBLY HEAVY LAST STRINGER,

AND THEN ONCE WE GET
THIS THING ON HERE,

WE'LL BE READY TO ROLL
WITH SOME FLOOR JOISTS.

, YE.

EXCITING TIMES!

Grady: GETTING THINGS DONE
ONERL LAND

HAS EN AOT HARDER
THAN I PLANNED,

AND I'M DEFINITELY NOT ABLE
TO DO IT WITHOUT HELP.

COMING IN.

AMAZING FRIENDS

D HAVE ALL COME TO MY D.

THEY KEEP ENCOURAGING ME
TO PUSH FORWARD,

AND I THINK WITH SOME HELP IT
CAN ALL COME TOGETHER THIS YEAR.

BOYAH!
WE GOT IT FRAMED PERFECT.

IT'S GONNA HAPPEN, GRADY.

CRAZY.

JUST NEVER THOUGHT
WE'D GET HERE, YOU KNOW?

NEITHER DID I.
BUT YOU KEPT AT IT.

AND YOU HELPED ME
KIND OF REMEMBER

WHY I'M DOING THIS,
YOU KNOW?

SO, THANKS.

BRING IT IN, GRADY.
COME ON!

ALL THE WORK'S PAYING OFF.

IT'S GONNA HAPPEN, BUD.

I'M READY TO MOVE THAT CRAP OUT
OF THERE AND GET IT IN HERE.

BUT I'M LOOKING FORWARD
TO MOVING IT, REALLY.

LOT OF HEAVY STUFF IN THAT SHOP

TOOVE WN
AND STAS AGN.

-UH-HUH, YEP.
-WT DOOU TNK WJUSTSE

THAT OLD SCAFFOLDING BOARD
AND SPAN THE GAP?

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
HEY, DRAWBRIDGE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK,
AUGUST?

NOW YOU'RE THINKING
WITH PULLEYS.

WELL, YOU KNOW, DRAWBRIDGES E

IN MY ANCESTRY, IN MY CULTURE.

OF COURSE THE CASTLE
IN SWITZERLAND HAD A DRAWBRIDGE.

OH, WOW. I WONDER IF THEY
PULL THIS BRIDGE UP.

OH, YEAH, IT COULD BE
LIKE A DRAWBRIDGE.

I WANT TO BUILD A DRAWBRIDGE
AT MY HOUSE.

I OWE IT TO MY HERITAGE
TO HAVE A DRAWBRIDGE

GONNA TRY TO PUT THESE I-BOLTS
IN UP THERE

AND HANG THESE PULLEYS
UP OVER IT,

PUT A ROPE OVER IT,
DOWN TO THE PLANK.

WE'RE GONNA TRY AND GET AN
EASI METHOD OF TRANSPORTATION

BETWEEN THE HOUSE AND SHOP

THAT WAY, IT CAN SPAN THE GAP,
BUT WE CAN REMOVE IT

IF WE EVER NEED
TO USE THAT SPACE

IN BETWEEN THE HOUSE
AND THE SHED FOR TRANSPORTATION.

ALL RIGHT, TWO PULLEYS ARE UP.

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE
TYPICAL TIMES

WHERE A LITTLE BIT
OF INVESTMENT TIME

IS GONNA SAVE A WHOLE BUNCH
OF TIME IN THE LONG RUN.

SO, FROM THERE ON, IT WAS JUST
A MATTER OF PULLEYS, ROPES.

IT JUST STARTED FLOWING.

AND THEN, L OF THE SUDDEN,
HERE WE ARE -- DRAWBRIDGE.

OKAY, LET'S GET THAT PLANK
OVER HERE, DUDE.

OOF.
-OH, MY GOODNESS.

THAT'S PERFECT.

Charlotte: WHOA, THAT ACTUALLY
KIND OF WORKS.

[ WOOD CREAKING ]

STILL PRETTY STRONG THERE, SON,
ESPECIALLY IF IT'S SUPPORTED.

August:
IN ORDER TO FORTIFY THIS BOARD,

WE NEED TO PUT A LOT OF
REINFORCEMENT AROUND THE MIDDLE.

THAT INVOLVES A LOT OF ROPE,
SOME MORE BOARDS,

AND JUST TO MAKE SURE

THAT EVERYTHING
IS SECURE AS POSSIBLE.

OKAY, LET DOWN.

AH.
YOU KNOW WHAT?

-WHAT?
-THIS IS REALLY COOL.

I'M GLAD YOU HAD THE IDEA.
-IT'S VERY COOL.

HAVEN'T YOU ALWAYS WANTED
A DRAWBRIDGE?

-OF COURSE.
-HOW NEAT IS THAT?

Otto: I'M REALLY NOTICING A LOT
OF GROWTH WITH AUGUST HERE

AND HIS WILLINGNESS TO HELP.

WE'VE BASICALLY OUTWITTED
OURSELVES AND COME UP

WITH AN INCREDIBLY
GENIUS SOLUTION,

AND I OWE A LOT
OF THAT TO AUGUST.

gustAAH!
HO!

GO ONE, BOY!
HOLY CRAP.

YOU SCARED
THE TAR OUT OF ME.

IT WAS PERFECT.
-YOU GUYS...

OH, GOD,
WAS THAT A GOOD ONE.

YOU KNOW, IT TURNED INTO
THE SWISS FAMILY KILCHER.

GOT THIS THING READY TO GO,

AND WE'RE GONNA
SORT OF TEST IT OUT.

WE NEED TO FINISH THIS CABIN

ARE IN HORRIBLE SHAPE.

IT'S A DESPERATE SITUATION.

SO WHEN THIS STORM BREAKS,

HOPEFULLY I CAN GET
A SAT PHONE CALL OUT

OR SOMETHING TO THE REST
OF THE FAMILY,

D TH CANRING
EXTRA SUPPLIES.

BECAUSE IF THERE IS A CHANCE
TO GET THIS CABIN DONE,

IT'S GONNA INVOLVE
AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE.
