I gotta find more camps so I can do the driving in.
We're in beautiful West Gardiner, my hometown,
at Rick and Janna Carter's streamside estate.
Look at the water.
A lot of water.
Dirty demo.
Dirty demo.
Who's writing my wife a love letter?
There's nothing worth saving.
Keep going.
Uh-oh. I think it's love.
Oh, my goodness.
-Wow. -I love the color.
-It's beautiful. Look at that. -I love the color.
Wow.
Welcome to West Gardiner.
I gotta find more camps so I can do the driving in.
This is awesome.
It can really go 140.
Let's not find out.
We're in beautiful West Gardiner,
my hometown.
Ah, oh my goodness.
Tell me why this dirt road's so bad right now
-because all the rain that we just got. -Yeah, oh yeah.
And we're at Rick and Janet Carter's
streamside estate.
I can't remember how, but someone in town
reached out to me, told me about Rick Carter.
-I think maybe-- -Probably the town office.
You got best friends down there.
Anybody town
it's a major on Saturday.
All joke aside, Rick and Janet Carter
are great members of West Gardiner community.
Rick has given back to boy scouts
like youth groups use his property,
people kept telling me how great they are
and we already got out to the property to help.
What was the question? Where are we?
From what I'm told,
these are your old classic-style camps.
You know, just little tiny things.
-It's actually two. - It'll be right... It'll be right on the water.
Right on the water. But we've had
-historic rain. -Wait, there's two?
-You just said there's two? -It's a twofer.
You signing up on this, Chase?
Yeah.
Oh, look how high the water is.
Wow. This is cool though.
Isn't this amazing?
Oh, yeah, this is pretty.
We had record rainfall in the last week.
Record, like, it's amazing how high the streams are.
We're lucky we even got down here.
- Hi. - How's I going?
Look at the water.
- Whoa. - A lot of water.
Our kids loved growing up here.
- Good to see you. - Hi, Janet.
-Janet. -How are you?
Now with seven grandkids.
-Been here 44 years. -Forty-four years.
Home sweet home.
Wow.
We don't have another 44 years.
So two cabins?
They were built around 1940 or in the '40s.
Okay. What are you looking to have done to the cabins?
It looks like the roofs are in decent shape.
First, I'd like to see
both of the foundations
- leveled out. - Okay.
I'd like to see them spray foamed inside.
Insulation, there is none.
I like to make sure that the squirrels
can live outside versus inside.
So right now, they've got home in there.
What is this thing that's right... Just here?
- Yeah, it's a shack. - It's a shack?
My goal was to get it over where that window is.
-And board in - the side to make-- - Detach it.
And make it a little chemical toilet, bathroom.
Okay.
-No windows. -No windows,
if that's possible.
I love light, if we could do...
Bring in light.
So we need to get the light bulbs.
How about the color?
Like to keep the same red.
And I'd like this one to be gray with white trim.
Well, that's easy.
But yeah.
Yeah, this camp was definitely built
before 1978, so we'll have to test
for lead or just assume that they are lead paint.
You know, that one cabin was recently repainted.
So it shouldn't be a problem.
Update the cabins, attach that building,
insulate, make them critter-proof,
jacking level.
How much do you have to put into the cabins?
- $50,000. - Okay.
When would you like this completed by?
-It's really up to you. -The horses come home
August 12th.
-What'd you say? -The horses come home
-August 12th. -They go to camp.
- That's a first. - Horses go to camp?
To Camp Kippewa, so we can get away.
And collect 50 horses for the summer.
-How many-- -And ours are two.
So the kids from all over the country to come in.
Chance to ride, a chance to get introduced to horses.
Are you gonna return on horseback?
We could, if it's after August 12th.
$50,000 to update the cabins,
jack and level 'em out,
attach that out building
as a new bathroom for this camp.
New windows throughout,
insulate, closing the inside.
We got until the horses are home.
Where the horses come home from camp.
That's right. We just need a set of keys.
- Here they are. - Perfect.
We'll be ready when the cows come home.
Whoa.
Wow.
I don't think we've been in one
that's this sad in a while.
-This kitchen. -That's like a water view kitchen, huh?
Pretty funny.
- It's very funny. - Make that smarter.
It's like an afterthought.
-Oh, no. It's so scary. -Oh.
- Look at him. - -Eyeballs are popping out of his...
Oh, that is creepy.
His ears are about to fall off.
Well, he has a heavy on this side.
There's actually quite a bit of room up here.
- There is? - Yeah.
I feel like there's more room up here
than downstairs.
On the interior of the gray camp,
we're going to clean it all out,
new sheathing, and a new set of stairs
leading up to the loft space.
All right. Let's check the other one out.
How are we gonna get over there?
Uh-oh. I see.
Talk about on the water.
Oh, yeah, this looks real safe.
Come on, honey.
It's like we're on a boathouse.
This is a boathouse.
We've always wanted a boathouse.
Oh, this one's even smaller.
Whoa.
This one's misleading because on the outside,
it looks like it's been finished.
And then you come in.
Yeah, this one's worse.
- Whoa. Chase. - All right.
- I've seen enough. - -Look at that, look at that.
- Is the water moving? - -Yeah, then we might have
to put a little supports under there.
Yeah.
- All right. - Well, you got a lot
of cleaning to do.
I'm excited though. This is gonna be fun.
On the interior of the red camp,
we'll clean it out, paint the floors,
new sheathing, and build a new loft ladder.
Jeepers.
Yeah. Got it?
No. I'm gonna learn it from you
to how to do this the right way.
On the exterior of the red camp,
we'll jack and level it.
New windows, touch up the paint,
and build a new set of railings
for the deck to make it safer.
And on the gray camp, we'll jack and level it,
attach that small out building
so that Rick can put in a bathroom, new windows,
and give it a fresh coat of paint.
I think our biggest concern right now
is making sure that water level drops
and we can get in here
and everything is nice and dry.
Tada, success.
Are we gonna call the guys
and wait for the horses to come home,
or go wait for the water to go down?
Call the guys, I guess.
Call them.
Water went down, Chase.
Water's dropped consider...
That's wild.
We couldn't get into this camp the other day.
Unreal.
Today, we are doing demo
at the Carter Camp.
Nice spot.
It's West Gardiner, baby.
We tested for lead, which came back negative.
And luckily, the water level's dropped.
I hope they got all the furniture out of there,
but I don't know.
And we're just gonna go in
and see what they left us.
Should be able to back that trailer down here 5 miles.
- Yeah, let's check it out. - Perfect.
Yeah.
- Framing looks good. - Ozzie was here.
Ozzie.
I don't know, if I see a random suitcase,
that freaks me out.
It's empty.
We use the luggage.
Oh, that's empty.
Ew, look at that carpet.
Gross.
- Dirty demo. - Dirty demo.
You wanna look at the other one first?
Or do you want me to bring the trailer in?
Oh, let's go look at the other one.
All right. Let's go.
Susie, what do you think?
Oh.
I guess nothing was salvageable in here.
Oh, is that mice?
Wow.
All right. I'm gonna start backing it.
Is that cool?
Keep coming.
Too late. Now I'm pinched.
You keep going, bud.
You keep going. It hasn't pinched yet.
See, the problem with this is
that I can't get the trailer to go the other way.
You're on the rock, you're on the rock!
Oh, this truck is too big.
- Now I'm stuck. - Can we push it?
I think we can. If we get it in here,
I think we can get it around.
There wasn't enough room to turn around my truck,
which I kinda knew was gonna happen.
Try not hurt a tree, you know?
We got tree lovers around here.
Keep going, keep going.
Keep going, keep going.
You're good.
Nice job, buddy.
Okay, stop.
Five minute commute from my house,
but two hours to back the trailer in.
You know, even with this job in West Gardiner,
I mean, we're still a mile down the woods.
Little bit more if you want.
Good. Now crank it the other way.
And our trucks don't get any smaller
and our trailers don't get any smaller.
Straighten your wheel out.
I think I can get it from here maybe.
Like, backing the trailer down in here,
I mean, this takes a lot of time.
Everyone wonders why my trucks have dents in them,
it's because big truck, small roads,
job sites in the middle of nowhere.
A lamp. And, um,
this vintage GoldStar television
with the rabbit ears with the tinfoil.
TV for nothing
- and the lamps are free. - Yeah.
Oh, wait a minute.
Lovely.
Little air's gonna be good for this place.
Oh.
Who's writing my wife a love letter?
Not I.
Ashley.
It's from Rick.
"Ashley, Janet says the Marylu is an amazing artist.
I was thinking we could surprise Janet
by getting Marylu to paint something special
for the cabin.
I'm including her card if you can give her a call.
Thanks, Rick."
All right. Let's put this back
and see how long it takes Ashley to find it.
You wanna?
Huh. No, I know there's no woodsman after her.
Hey, can I hand somebody something outside the window?
Yeah. Two of this, two of 'em.
This one right.
One more.
Beautiful.
Hi.
What's going on?
Perfect timing.
-You got a mask for me? -Yeah.
Or if you can start on that other cabin,
- pulling all the wood out. - Okay.
- I wouldn't need a mask over there? - -No.
All right.
Because we got this one pretty much done.
That one needs to--
Any of the random wood that's in there?
Well, there's like firewood and stuff.
Okay.
- I think you just-- - Where am I putting it?
You can just throw it out in the pile.
- Okay. - And that'll be good
because we gotta get that one empty, too.
It's a nice windy day.
We get to bring the dogs to work.
Chase wants us to get the wood out of here, guys.
So any day that I get to bring the dogs to work
is a great day for me.
You guys, I don't think you need to be in here though.
Come on. You guys don't need to be in here.
Unless you're helping, get out.
Dogs.
They get four guys and I get two guys
with four legs that don't help.
Just something's not right here.
That weird out building,
ideally is gonna go where this window is.
This window's gonna become a doorway into a bathroom.
So depending on that,
I mean, these stairs aren't safe.
We're gonna have to figure something out.
I think luckily,
it doesn't necessarily need to go any more that way
because there's ample head room about...
- On the side. - Yeah. Yeah.
Ample, ample.
Nothing worth saving.
Yeah.
Hardly even touching.
Ashley.
What's up?
A letter to me?
It has your name on it.
This is suspicious.
Ryan had found a letter that Rick had left for me.
"Ashley, Janet's sister Marylu is an amazing artist."
Janet's sister lives right in the area,
and so he suggested a surprise to Janet.
"By getting Marylu to paint something special for the cabin.
Thank you." Rick. Sweet.
I'll give her a call.
Ah, good day today.
-Good day. -Yeah.
Next step is to get in here and I think
do some jacking and leveling.
This is my type of job.
It's in West Gardiner, roosted down,
and I can show you guys the special project's done.
- There you go. - Let's get outta here.
Yeah, we're at the Carter Camp today,
the guys been moving right along.
Over at the gray camp, the guys are working
on getting jacked and leveled.
This one when we came in,
got our last few posts,
we got the sill around our deck replaced.
I like it, Josh.
That's one end, baby.
And they're working on removing
the old rotted sills
along the camp
and replacing those.
Then they'll tear off the old rotted shingles
and get those replaced with new cedar shakes.
We're trying to get these old posts out of here.
The old posts are just telephone poles
that had set down in the ground.
So, they're just continuing to sink
they've got no base underneath them.
So we're, uh, just having to work
to get these up out of the ground.
Throw that off.
So, we can get it filled in with some good stones,
get our epoxy, get our foam,
and get new post underneath.
Take it to the bank.
Now that we got this old floor system all torn out,
got some new timbers that we're gonna use here
for our new sills.
Our new ledger right here is gonna help
catch these posts.
I'm gonna slide that beyond your direction.
Okay. It's gonna allow us to fasten this addition
to the main building which you can see here,
it's been coming apart for quite a while.
You know, that's closing.
- Uh-huh. - Sweet.
We'll get these sills replaced...
get some new floors jointed in,
we'll be able to deck this over
and have a new floor in here.
Hi, Ashley.
Good morning, Marylu.
-How are you? -So good to see you.
-It's a beautiful day. -Oh, it is.
Today, I'm here at Marylu's house.
This apron for me?
Yeah, put that on.
And Marylu is also Janet,
our camp owner's sister.
And she's also a beautiful painter.
She does landscapes, flowers,
ocean scenes,
and those cabins sit on the beautiful stream
so I thought, we could come up
with a beautiful scene to paint.
Yeah. Well, I know she loves loons.
And these all kind of driftwood.
These are cool. Isn't it so cool the way
the lakes preserve wood?
Right. It is.
So, I didn't know if maybe you'd like to pick one.
I think, I like one of the funky ones.
Yeah.
But you know, my heart is a little bit different.
So, I'll probably do something not so fine arty on mine.
- That's okay. - Yours is very fine art.
So, I think that we should leave the loon,
-uh, to you. -Oh, okay.
I will do the loon.
But, you know, she also likes these blue heron.
Oh, blue heron would fit nicely on this.
That would be pretty.
I really like...
I like the natural.
- Me too, right? - Yeah. Yeah.
-That's really-- -Like, it's just the blue heron coming up.
-Maybe their name. -Yeah.
I think this one will have two in it.
- Two loons? - Yeah.
- I like two loons. - Yeah.
This will be a little bit longer.
And I'm gonna add the white spots later.
-Yeah, I'll get... -Oh, yeah. Oh, nice.
I'll get one
- go in and up ahead. - Oh, yeah.
-It's part of it. -That's awesome.
that's... Yeah, that's great.
It was a really fun experience.
I think you and I are off to a good start.
Yes, I do too.
Hopefully, my blue heron comes out great.
And I know, Janet is gonna be really happy
to get another painting of her sisters.
I think, it's gonna be a great surprise.
Yeah.
Unreal.
This is nuts.
I think you go right on the floor by floor,
yeah, right?
Oh, lovely.
Marvelous.
Week five at the Carter Camp
in West Gardiner.
Looks like your handle is pretty sweet.
Been extremely wet summer.
And the road just hasn't had the chance to dry out
and driving over it every day
constantly just has made it a lot more soupy and muddy.
You know, a lot of cars don't make it in
but we've got RTVs here side by side.
And but we've got Francis Ryan here
with their machines...
to hopefully, get a good base...
and get us so the road is passable.
That's awesome.
You got me all muddy.
- How's it moving? - Oh, nice.
You want me to push it?
And today, we are working on getting
the outbuilding attached
to the main camp for the bathroom.
Oh, jeepers.
So, when we first arrived...
-Hi. -How's it going?
There was the addition, whatever you wanna call it
that Rick caught and had brought down here
at some point.
And his goal had always been to attach it
to the gray camp
and turn that into a bathroom
with a compost and toilet.
Keep going.
It's solid so we just decided
to get it on some skids
and, you know, use fulcrums and levers
and just move it over with brute strength.
Sweet.
Once we got the bathroom addition
close to where it was gonna go,
we stripped the shingles off...
and made it so that the new addition
will sit flat against the camp.
So, in order to make this building watertight,
you have to be able to step flash
the roof properly so it won't leak.
And then you have to be able to side up to the addition.
So, it's just as easy to strip it back.
Get it right back to wall sheeting,
and then we can attach the little building
to the big door.
Yeah. And you can't put this building up
against a building already sided.
There is just no way to keep it watertight.
Yeah, Chase.
Dustin, I think we're gonna get anything
and try to, uh, get a couple of these on
and then we're gonna try to...
Yeah.
Let's give you a corner one more.
Once it got cleaned off, we brought it up tight.
They're adjacent. Yeah.
Nice.
We'll just keep it balanced
and then just slide and take your fingers off.
Jacks it up.
Yeah.
Watch along this side, chief.
-What's that? -Some rock over here.
Yeah, probably right.
Yeah.
Stone me, jelly roll.
Post it underneath.
And now...
And I leveled it all out.
Oh, just a little at a time.
And then screwed it to the main camp
to lock it in place.
-Hi. -How's it going?
Good.
That's road's awful.
It's getting better.
That road's better?
Yes.
I hate to see it before.
Come on, Trigger. Do you wanna go swimming
with your sister and brother?
I stopped in just to see what was going on.
Nice and level in here, huh?
So, the red camp...
they're getting everything prepped and ready
for spray foam by adding nailers
to the interior.
And setting post for a cable rail
around the front deck.
Trigger.
Trigger, come.
Trigger is Ryan's new puppy.
Ryan and my new puppy.
Oh, my gosh, Trigger. Who's that?
Come on, Beez.
And then, we have Beezus.
Who's that? Is that a friend?
Beezus is Chase's dog.
Hey, come here. Your future possible friend.
- Come on. - Ah!
Meet.
Beezus is a little older than Trigger.
Uh-oh. I think it's love.
Look at them playing.
Oh, no.
Oh, boy.
Yeah, small, dark, and handsome.
That's Trigger.
We're pretty much rebuilding the stairs
how they were in the gray camp.
We'll have a couple of steps up to the platform
and then a loft ladder from there.
I just wanted to pull those out
so that when they spray foam,
they'll be able to get in around that.
And we don't have to worry about locking those into place.
Let's bring it out.
Beezus, come.
Come here, little lady.
Come here.
Oh, you wanna get right up there with dad?
-Trigger, you wanna come... -Beezy.
right up there with your girlfriend?
-Trigger. -Yeah, no, it looks good.
- I think-- - It looks really good.
Just waiting on windows.
Everything is pretty much prepped and ready
for spray foam.
Road should be much better on the way out of here.
All right. Let's go try it out.
-Good thing. -Come on, doggy.
-We're good. -Go on, Triggs.
We are here at the Cotta camp.
We're just putting the, uh, cable rails onto this porch.
We've got some good post secured,
half-lapped and lagged right into the deck.
So, we're just gonna get the deck secured
and then we're gonna do a little bit of prep work.
Majority of our windows came in.
So, we're starting to get these, uh, windows installed.
My electricians were here yesterday.
Everything's roughed in.
Over at the gray camp, the guys are working
on putting together the steps up
to the second story
along with building a ladder for the loft.
In the door.
Get that now.
-Turn it around. -Okay.
And then working on paint.
We're going with a nice light gray
for the deck railings and trim.
And then a darker gray for the rest of the camp.
The camp owners wanted to keep it close
to the same color.
So all we are doing is freshening it up
with a nice new coat.
And now, we can get ready for the spray foam.
And climb this up and close this place in.
Okay.
That's loud, was it?
-Too loud for your ears? -Yeah.
-Your sensitive little ears? -Yeah.
Today, Fiona and I are at the Cotta's barn.
Oh, look at this.
They have mentioned that they have
a bunch of stuff in the barn
that we could take and use.
This barrel's cool.
Yeah, and right off the bat,
I discovered things. I mean, just like that.
Almost immediately.
-I want to take this. -Okay.
I think, we can think of something cool
to make out of... This out of.
So, we can save money
by taking some of the homeowner's stuff.
-Oh. -Look.
Yes, please.
You wanna grab some of that rolled barrel?
Okay.
Yeah. So, Fiona and I found some great things.
We're gonna grab them, take them back to my place
and I'm really excited to come up
with some really great ideas for some special projects.
All right. Let's load this in the car
and let's get out of here.
That's perfect.
Okay.
All right.
We're down to final push of the Cotta camp
and it's been a struggle.
We are into the midst of our rainiest summer ever.
As you can see, the streams come back up,
but the guy's doing a heck of a job.
The old outbuilding is attached.
Dixie's putting in the last of the windows.
I love the paint.
I haven't been out here in a while to see it.
The guys did a great job painting.
Inside, Chase is looking on the kitchen.
Josh and Tim are putting out more sheathing boards,
trimming out the windows,
and then the front porch is all leveled and straight.
And as you come over to the second camp, it's amazing.
The water's been coming up almost like tidal.
You know, like an ocean. Comes in, comes out.
And over here, the... I mean, this cable rail looks amazing.
That's the cable railing we've had left over
since six years ago.
It's amazing what you find in the back
of your storage units.
And here, the paint was pretty good
so we were able to keep that.
But all new windows around,
it's been spray foamed,
new lights, new electrical, new sheathing,
and it looks like a million dollars.
And the Cotta family's gonna be able
to use this year-round.
It's gonna heat so easily.
It's gonna be amazing.
Morning.
What's going on?
-Hi, Fiona. -Oh, Fiona and I
are coming out to check out the camps.
Hi.
-What's up, Jed? -Good morning.
Jeez, Louise. That road didn't get any better, did it?
It's still pretty muddy.
How am I gonna get my staging vehicles down here?
Well, I think your friends have called and said
the watershed have a barge right there that they put in.
Well, we might need to call them
because I do not see any vehicles
that we have getting down here.
The box truck's definitely not making it.
Box truck is definitely not making it.
So, Fiona and I went to go out there.
I had the painting that I'd done.
This is Janet's favorite bird.
I actually went and painted it with Marylu, her sister,
um, and she did a loon painting,
which I am hoping to pick up today
so that we can bring it and put it here.
I wanted to take a peek, see how far along we are.
They're not quite ready for me to get in there.
Um, so Fiona and I just decided to take
the side by side and get out.
Tuesday, what are you doing?
Of course, put one in this.
Beautiful.
right there.
Love it.
Okay.
So, Corbin's done a really good job.
I was very proud today.
He's cutting, he's paying more attention,
and he's becoming a better carpenter,
which is awesome. That makes me proud.
The Cottas definitely like character,
so I think we've maintained
a lot of that with this place.
Floors on the red camp needed something.
We had a can of green floor paint,
grabbed that, gave those a try, and I paint,
coated the floors on the screen and porch,
you know, again, just to clean everything up.
Seal everything up.
Justin.
Justin, this is it, buddy.
I think the next steps
are just get electrician in here
to wrap everything up
and then hand it over to Ashley.
Corbin went to a dump. Let's not wait for him.
He'll figure out we're not here.
Sounds good.
Hey, guys.
-Hey. -Hey.
-Good to see you. -You too.
Awesome. You got the barrel.
So today, I'm meeting Josh and Dakota
at the wood shop
to take the barrel that I found
at the Cotta's barn and turn it into a table.
So what the plan for today is,
we're gonna disassemble this table,
and then we're gonna figure out
how we're gonna attach it to that barrel
so that we can put some bar stools around it.
Fiona and I stopped by the Cotta's barn
and when we were grabbing some of the furniture
that we wanted to use in the cabin,
I didn't see any tables in there.
We definitely need a table.
So, I thought it would be a good idea.
Let's see if we can make one.
I'm so happy for this wood shop.
Me too.
- There are all the tools we need in one spot. - -Oh, yeah.
And the first step was to just disassemble it.
-Okay. There you go. -There you go.
You're on it.
So the Viel brothers have been working with us,
um, for a few years now.
So, that's actually kind of perfect.
Oh, yeah. Look, you don't even--
-Yeah. -Oh, sweet.
I knew that they were gonna be at the wood shop today
because it's raining out.
Yeah. We'll go a little wide with it.
So I gave 'em a ring and said,
"Hey, you wanna help me out?"
And they are so kind and they said, "Absolutely."
It's not a perfect circle.
That's okay.
We'll work with it.
The next thing we needed to do
was to trace around
where we were gonna need to route her out.
-Wow. -Looks great.
And then we wanted to sand it down to,
you know, get all the blemishes off of it.
Well, Josh routed out the circle,
so that it'll be able to fit
right on top of the barrel nicely.
- Oh, wow. - Yeah.
That actually seems like it's a nice fit.
After that, we assembled the parts
to the table together.
I like it.
It feels flush.
That's all that matters.
-Okay. -Okay.
All set.
And then it fit great.
Sweet.
So the only thing left to do was to stain the top.
I think it was pretty.
So we had this perfect color
that matches the barrel great.
Looks good.
-I know, right? -Came out nice.
I'm gonna go find some nice stools
to put around it.
So I think now,
we'll let it dry.
Um, and then we can come back
and maybe, like, a quick coat of poly.
But other than that, you guys...
I think this looks amazing.
Yeah. It came out nice.
And, you know, there was no table before
and now we have a perfect one.
- Cool. Let's take off. - Okay.
Whoa, that was a fish.
Did you see 'em?
They're all over the place right now.
This is great.
I don't know why we didn't do this a long time ago.
We should've just had a pontoon boat the whole time.
Skip that road altogether.
It's week 10 at the Cotta camp
and today, it's my team's turn
to put the final touches on the place.
Just sit here and chill.
Take it all in.
I bet it's really pretty here in the fall
with all these trees changing.
The road is bad still,
so I'm really glad that we decided to rent
a pontoon boat
so that we can just load that up
and we can get the stuff there much easier here.
Sorry.
Here, AJ. Oh, it's pretty deep.
Beautiful. Summer's coming to an end,
so enjoy every chance that we can
to be out on the water.
- No. Right in between... - No.
- the two windows. - Yeah.
- Why not, right? - Yeah. Perfect.
-Love it. -Love it.
Love it.
Oh, yeah, I like that.
I don't think I signed it.
And now this, Marylu.
I was thinking, you know, that--
What about that? Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
All right. Perfect. Thanks.
Looks good.
Tracey, Tracey.
I'm all done.
This is good timing.
- Camp looks good. - It does, right?
I was able to come in early this morning...
do some final decorating touches.
And we're ready to go.
Oh, my goodness.
-Look at the-- -Wow.
-I love the color. -It's beautiful.
-I love the color. -Look at that.
Wow.
Gorgeous.
Wow.
-Isn't that beautiful? -Oh, look at the porch.
- It has a porch now. - -Oh, that's beautiful.
Oh, it does.
- I like the walkway too. - Just the...
Oh, look at the flowers even on there.
-Aw. -Aw.
-Hi. -Hello.
-Hey. -Hey.
How are you?
Great job.
- Aw. - Oh, I love it.
It is beautiful.
-Hi, I'm Ashley. -I'm Josie.
-Chase. -Hi, Ashley, nice to see you.
Good to see you.
I can't believe what was accomplished.
Way, way over expectations.
-Way over. -Yeah. So, luckily,
Francis, our landscaper,
excavator, extraordinaire,
kept the road passable so we could get guys in here.
He came in, he put down some erosion control mulch
something that in the rain isn't gonna wash away,
it's gonna stay here, decompose and build that.
- It's beautiful. - Yeah.
And then, you know, first thing,
we tested for lead and everything was clear,
so we're good on that side of things.
Guys got this place cleaned out,
got right underneath, jacked and leveled.
- It looks great. - -Reposted, did everything.
It came back very nicely
and, you know, the guys were super excited.
They didn't have to mess with the roofs
and the red camp.
You know, not a lot of painting on that one.
Electrician came in, all new wiring,
got that all squared away.
This piece that was off to the side,
we got this attached to the building.
- Oh, that's nice. - New windows,
safe railings on the front of the red camp.
- Looks gorgeous. - Wow.
- That's amazing. - Absolutely gorgeous.
The way the windows, the overall attachment
of that building, superb.
The color is very nice too.
It's perfect.
Wow. They got a nice wreath up here.
- Aw. - Look at this.
- Aw. - This looks...
- That's so cute. - So pretty.
- I love that. - Look at the door.
I know it.
It's gorgeous. Very nice.
- Uh-oh. Here we are. - Very nice.
That's... Oh, my goodness.
- Wow. - Oh, wow.
- This is great. - Oh, my goodness.
I remember all the junk that's in here.
- Oh, my goodness. - This is gorgeous.
The color of the walls
just make it very light anyway,
but the windows are wonderful.
Good. Oh, my word.
Is this your room, Josie?
Yes. It's gonna be my room.
Now, you can stand up,
you can walk around there.
There's huge amount of space.
All new windows throughout,
everything's been spray foamed
- and-- - Really?
Wow.
All new electrical,
and then we closed everything in with pine,
painted the floors down here,
patched in the floors upstairs.
It was non-inhabitable as far as I was concerned
for sleeping overnight or any such thing,
but it's gorgeous now.
Oh, the view from right here
-is gorgeous. -Oh, these are all pretty.
- Oh, my goodness. - A nice table.
This is one of your barrels, Janet.
Oh, my goodness.
Wow. I love this table.
You notice anything else?
Oh, the loon painting.
Sure. We had a surprise done for you
by your sister.
I went and painted with her one day.
Did you do that one?
Did you do that?
- Yeah. - Oh, Lord.
And then, I did... I did a different take.
A little more abstract.
Oh, how funny, a great blue heron.
- I love it. - A great blue heron.
- I love it. I love it. - I love how it turned out.
I thought it matched the door nicely.
-It does. -Yeah.
- That is great. - It's perfect.
When we ride down here,
I often see great blue herons in the pond.
I love the expression on 'em.
That's very cute.
And the loons, I love to listen to them
on the stream.
Yeah. So, same thing,
Jacked and leveled the camps,
all new windows, all new electrical,
closed everything in with pine boards.
We put an addition on for bathroom space.
We used the old door from the red camp.
- Put it in there. - Oh, my goodness.
- Oh, look at that. - Oh, isn't that nice?
So then we can put a chemical toilet.
- Yup. - Right?
Yup. Absolutely.
-It's beautiful. -Oh, yes. That's...
-You know, something... -amazing.
in my lifetime, I'd have never got it done.
Oh, it's beautiful.
- Yeah. - Oh.
- Yeah. - Very nice.
It's so much more spacious.
- You know how it is. - I love it.
- Very nice. - Now, family can use it
without having to worry about a squirrel
running across their face if they sleep.
Yes. Stairway is fantastic.
Even for old people.
What'd you say?
Here he is.
Oh.
So you like the place?
- Beautiful. - Love it.
Yeah. Josie's ready to move in next door.
- Yup. - Yeah.
I've claimed it. It's mine.
I don't care what they say, it's mine.
Yeah. So we have $50,000 in 10 weeks
to renovate these two camps.
They were built before 1978.
So we tested for lead, make sure we followed
EPA guidelines for renovations.
The only thing left to do is, uh, hand you the keys and--
-Oh, my goodness. -Enjoy the place.
-Enjoy your new place. -Yes. Yes.
I didn't think you could do it with the rainy year,
with what I saw on the ground.
I said there's no way you're gonna pull this off.
And I know it was a tough, tough, tough project.
One of the toughest probably you've experienced,
but it's way over and above.
And I just, uh, just a personal thank you
to each one of you.
