1
00:00:01,300 --> 00:00:02,400
[Garrett] We're building
our country cottage
2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,400
in the coastal plains
of South Georgia.
3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,000
Woo!
4
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,500
[Garrett] The road coming in
is really muddy.
5
00:00:08,500 --> 00:00:10,066
[truck engine revs]
6
00:00:10,066 --> 00:00:11,100
I'm stuck.
7
00:00:11,100 --> 00:00:12,533
This is just what we needed.
8
00:00:14,100 --> 00:00:17,600
I have never built
anything before.
9
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,367
This is harder than it looks.
10
00:00:20,567 --> 00:00:22,667
They're not gonna be able
to deliver our rafters today.
11
00:00:22,667 --> 00:00:23,867
What?
12
00:00:23,867 --> 00:00:25,667
[Ally] We saw a bear.
13
00:00:25,667 --> 00:00:27,467
It was insane.
14
00:00:27,467 --> 00:00:29,066
Until these windows get here,
15
00:00:29,066 --> 00:00:30,700
we're at a complete
standstill.
16
00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:34,266
We have a category 4 hurricane
coming this way.
17
00:00:34,266 --> 00:00:37,266
[Jeremy] It's been blowing
60-mile-an-hour gusts.
18
00:00:37,266 --> 00:00:38,667
Could blow 'em down.
19
00:00:38,667 --> 00:00:41,767
[Ally] I just hope
nothing happens to the build.
20
00:00:41,767 --> 00:00:44,934
[announcer] Are you ready
to go off the grid?
21
00:00:47,300 --> 00:00:49,367
[upbeat music playing]
22
00:00:49,367 --> 00:00:52,200
[plane engine revs]
23
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,133
Time to go scout out a place
for our country cottage.
24
00:00:57,166 --> 00:00:59,967
[Garrett] What I really love
about flying is the freedom,
25
00:00:59,967 --> 00:01:01,800
being able to go
wherever you want to go.
26
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,166
Just the pure enjoyment
buzzing around the farm,
27
00:01:04,166 --> 00:01:05,467
seeing things from the sky,
28
00:01:05,467 --> 00:01:07,634
and the relaxation
I get from it.
29
00:01:09,567 --> 00:01:10,667
All right, babe.
30
00:01:10,667 --> 00:01:12,066
Let's go to the farm.
31
00:01:13,667 --> 00:01:15,867
Garrett and I have been
dating for two years
32
00:01:15,867 --> 00:01:19,066
and we love coming
to the family farm.
33
00:01:19,066 --> 00:01:22,100
We love doing country stuff,
as we call it.
34
00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:25,166
And we spend a lot
of holidays here with family,
35
00:01:25,166 --> 00:01:28,066
so we want to have our own
private little cottage
36
00:01:28,066 --> 00:01:30,433
to come to and just have
some alone time.
37
00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:33,367
[Garrett] Last year, I decided
38
00:01:33,367 --> 00:01:34,800
to get my private
pilot's license.
39
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,700
So my plane's a great way
to fly around the farm
40
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:39,233
and pick out
the perfect spot.
41
00:01:41,266 --> 00:01:43,166
[Ally] It's so pretty up here.
42
00:01:46,867 --> 00:01:50,000
Okay. This is what we're
looking for on the farm.
43
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,300
I want it near water.
44
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:52,800
I want it secluded.
45
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,667
I want a pretty view.
46
00:01:54,667 --> 00:01:56,400
[Garrett] Well,
I don't want any neighbors
47
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,867
and I want
some big oak trees.
48
00:01:58,867 --> 00:02:00,467
Some of the main things
we are gonna love
49
00:02:00,467 --> 00:02:03,200
about building off grid
is all the amenities
50
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,100
of the farm, fields,
fresh air, the creeks,
51
00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:09,400
and just getting away
from everyday life.
52
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,100
[birds chirping]
53
00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:15,100
[Ally] I like the way
the tree line is laid out.
54
00:02:15,100 --> 00:02:16,367
I'm thinking that's gonna be
55
00:02:16,367 --> 00:02:18,433
a really good location too,
babe.
56
00:02:19,667 --> 00:02:22,867
[Ally] So going up
in the plane was super cool.
57
00:02:22,867 --> 00:02:24,700
It's always fun
when we get to go buzz
58
00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:26,467
around in the sky.
59
00:02:26,467 --> 00:02:30,166
But it was awesome
just to see the landscape
60
00:02:30,166 --> 00:02:31,467
of the farm
61
00:02:31,467 --> 00:02:34,200
and to find
that perfect nook.
62
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,433
I think we found
the perfect spot.
63
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:40,667
Oh, my God. We're so low.
64
00:02:40,667 --> 00:02:42,600
Woo! [laughs]
65
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,066
Oh, my God.
66
00:02:44,066 --> 00:02:45,767
All right.
Mission accomplished.
67
00:02:45,767 --> 00:02:47,200
[Garrett] Roger that.
68
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,000
-I'm Garrett.
-And I'm Ally.
69
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,367
[Garrett] And we're building
our country cottage
70
00:02:50,367 --> 00:02:52,634
in the coastal plains
of South Georgia.
71
00:02:54,100 --> 00:02:56,800
[upbeat music playing]
72
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,467
[Ally] The build site is
located in Douglas, Georgia,
73
00:02:59,467 --> 00:03:02,233
and that's about
four hours south of Atlanta.
74
00:03:05,667 --> 00:03:07,567
[Garrett] Farming
in our family goes back
75
00:03:07,567 --> 00:03:08,800
probably six generation,
76
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,367
and there's lots
of space tucked out
77
00:03:10,367 --> 00:03:12,166
in the middle of nowhere
that we can put this build.
78
00:03:12,900 --> 00:03:14,400
The spot we picked out
for the build
79
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,467
is in the backfields
of one of the farms.
80
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,567
For a living, I farm.
81
00:03:20,567 --> 00:03:23,667
I grow cotton, corn,
peanuts, and watermelons.
82
00:03:23,667 --> 00:03:26,667
And we are really getting
fired up right now
83
00:03:26,667 --> 00:03:27,667
with watermelon season,
84
00:03:27,667 --> 00:03:29,200
trying to get
the ground ready,
85
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,467
and we're also
starting this build.
86
00:03:32,467 --> 00:03:34,300
So it's gonna be really hard
to juggle the two
87
00:03:34,300 --> 00:03:36,700
and get everything
done on time.
88
00:03:36,700 --> 00:03:39,266
Garrett has
like a two-track mind.
89
00:03:39,266 --> 00:03:41,266
He can't really keep
his mind on one thing.
90
00:03:41,266 --> 00:03:44,200
So we'll see if
he could balance watermelons
91
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,166
and building a house,
92
00:03:46,166 --> 00:03:48,000
and we'll see how that goes.
93
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,767
Truth hurts sometimes.
94
00:03:49,767 --> 00:03:51,166
[Ally chuckles]
95
00:03:51,166 --> 00:03:52,767
[upbeat music playing]
96
00:03:52,767 --> 00:03:54,600
[Ally] We're building
a country cottage
97
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,266
with a huge front porch.
98
00:03:56,266 --> 00:03:58,266
When you walk in,
on the right,
99
00:03:58,266 --> 00:03:59,800
you'll have the living room
and on the left,
100
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,667
you'll have the dining room
and kitchen.
101
00:04:01,667 --> 00:04:03,367
And you'll immediately
see the stairs
102
00:04:03,367 --> 00:04:06,100
that take you
to a beautiful upstairs loft
103
00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:07,667
with a loft porch.
104
00:04:07,667 --> 00:04:09,967
Towards the back
of the house, downstairs,
105
00:04:09,967 --> 00:04:11,166
we have the main bedroom,
106
00:04:11,166 --> 00:04:13,467
and that is paired
with a bathroom.
107
00:04:14,266 --> 00:04:15,367
For off-grid features,
108
00:04:15,367 --> 00:04:16,900
we're gonna use
solar for power
109
00:04:16,900 --> 00:04:18,367
and a well for water.
110
00:04:19,767 --> 00:04:21,367
[Garrett] The timeline
on this cottage
111
00:04:21,367 --> 00:04:22,867
is gonna be around
four months.
112
00:04:22,867 --> 00:04:24,567
Our budget is $130,000.
113
00:04:24,567 --> 00:04:27,500
And it should end up being
around 1,400 square foot.
114
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:29,867
It's definitely going
to be very challenging,
115
00:04:29,867 --> 00:04:31,867
but when I'm sitting
on the front porch
116
00:04:31,867 --> 00:04:33,700
with a margarita in hand,
117
00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:35,066
it'll definitely
be all worth it
118
00:04:35,066 --> 00:04:36,467
watching the sun go down.
119
00:04:37,967 --> 00:04:39,166
To get started on the build,
120
00:04:39,166 --> 00:04:40,600
we needed to prepare the land
121
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,266
for our foundation.
122
00:04:42,266 --> 00:04:44,467
[Garrett] We dug the footers,
123
00:04:44,467 --> 00:04:45,700
put all our tram lines,
124
00:04:45,700 --> 00:04:46,667
got everything squared up
125
00:04:46,667 --> 00:04:49,634
and ready for the concrete.
126
00:04:54,166 --> 00:04:56,667
My building experience
is pretty limited.
127
00:04:56,667 --> 00:04:59,000
I've fixed barns
and built dog houses.
128
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,400
I have never built
anything before.
129
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,333
Um, I think I've hung
a picture on a wall.
130
00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:07,367
-Good morning.
-Howdy. Howdy.
131
00:05:07,367 --> 00:05:09,567
So I've got a friend,
Jeremy Smith,
132
00:05:09,567 --> 00:05:11,200
helping me with this build.
133
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,667
He's an expert in building
whatever you need done
134
00:05:13,667 --> 00:05:16,200
and he has a crew
to really get the job tackled
135
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,734
in a timely manner.
136
00:05:18,767 --> 00:05:20,166
What's the plan for today?
137
00:05:20,166 --> 00:05:22,567
Put the rebar in and grade it,
138
00:05:22,567 --> 00:05:25,166
which ties your pour together.
139
00:05:25,166 --> 00:05:26,567
Just reinforces it.
140
00:05:26,567 --> 00:05:28,467
And then where the piers
are out there,
141
00:05:28,467 --> 00:05:29,567
it'll be for the porches.
142
00:05:29,567 --> 00:05:30,500
[Ally]
Well, I'mma start ordering
143
00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:31,867
some rocking chairs then.
144
00:05:31,867 --> 00:05:33,367
There's a lot
of work to be done
145
00:05:33,367 --> 00:05:35,266
before we can even think
about sitting on the porch.
146
00:05:35,266 --> 00:05:36,800
All right.
Well, I got my work boots on.
147
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,567
Can I help?
148
00:05:38,567 --> 00:05:39,567
-Yeah.
-[Ally chuckles]
149
00:05:39,567 --> 00:05:40,667
Put me to work.
150
00:05:40,667 --> 00:05:43,100
[Jeremy] You can set
some rebar on the chairs.
151
00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:45,867
Take tie wires and twist them
around the chair
152
00:05:45,867 --> 00:05:48,266
where the rebar lays
on the chairs.
153
00:05:48,266 --> 00:05:50,400
Having Jeremy around
will be so great
154
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,567
because he'll be there
to show us all the ropes
155
00:05:52,567 --> 00:05:54,500
and keep us on track.
156
00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:55,600
Just lay 'em on here.
157
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:56,433
Bend it.
158
00:05:57,300 --> 00:05:59,533
Put it...
Put that through both of 'em.
159
00:06:01,066 --> 00:06:02,934
[Ally] Okay. Let me try.
160
00:06:04,266 --> 00:06:05,266
Like that?
161
00:06:05,266 --> 00:06:06,634
[Jeremy]
Squeeze them together.
162
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,700
Just hold...
And just hold the handle.
163
00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:11,367
[Ally] This is harder
than it looks.
164
00:06:11,367 --> 00:06:12,567
[Jeremy chuckles]
165
00:06:12,567 --> 00:06:14,567
Just hold the handle
and do it like this.
166
00:06:14,900 --> 00:06:15,934
And just turn it.
167
00:06:16,367 --> 00:06:18,000
[Ally] Oh.
168
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,567
You gotta finesse it.
169
00:06:19,567 --> 00:06:21,367
[Jeremy] Yes. Yup.
170
00:06:21,367 --> 00:06:24,100
[Ally] I can't say that
I have gotten my hands dirty
171
00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:25,266
in this way.
172
00:06:25,266 --> 00:06:26,200
[chuckles]
173
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,066
I'm in the learning curve
of this.
174
00:06:28,066 --> 00:06:30,200
But it's kind of fun.
175
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,000
So when I'm sitting on
the front porch this summer,
176
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,667
drinking a margarita,
I'm gonna think about
177
00:06:35,667 --> 00:06:38,100
all the work
that's under my feet
178
00:06:38,100 --> 00:06:39,867
and I'm gonna remember
that one rhubarb
179
00:06:39,867 --> 00:06:42,467
I helped tie together.
180
00:06:42,467 --> 00:06:43,266
The rhubarb?
181
00:06:43,266 --> 00:06:44,166
The rhubarb.
182
00:06:44,166 --> 00:06:45,233
[laughter]
183
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,266
-What is it?
-[Garrett] Rebar.
184
00:06:47,266 --> 00:06:48,367
Rebar.
185
00:06:48,367 --> 00:06:49,700
The rebar.
186
00:06:49,700 --> 00:06:50,667
[laughs]
187
00:06:50,667 --> 00:06:52,000
[upbeat music playing]
188
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,500
[Ally] Now that
the rebar's installed,
189
00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:55,000
it's time
for the concrete truck
190
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,233
to come on out
and put in our footers.
191
00:06:57,700 --> 00:06:59,834
[truck beeping]
192
00:07:12,467 --> 00:07:14,367
[Ally] Woo!
193
00:07:14,367 --> 00:07:16,467
It feels good
to have the truck here.
194
00:07:25,066 --> 00:07:26,200
Can I try?
195
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,100
-[man] Let's do it.
-What do you...
196
00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:28,266
What's the goal here?
197
00:07:28,266 --> 00:07:29,567
[Jeremy] Lay your shovel flat.
198
00:07:29,567 --> 00:07:31,000
Stick your shovel right here
199
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,533
and you walk this
way dragging it.
200
00:07:33,867 --> 00:07:35,867
[Ally speaking]
201
00:07:37,567 --> 00:07:39,333
We need more concrete.
202
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,166
Last one, babe.
203
00:07:51,166 --> 00:07:52,066
[Garrett] Last one.
204
00:07:54,100 --> 00:07:55,433
[Ally] Let her roll.
205
00:07:59,567 --> 00:08:01,900
I'm so glad
the truck didn't get stuck.
206
00:08:01,900 --> 00:08:03,667
I'm so glad it didn't rain.
207
00:08:03,667 --> 00:08:06,166
The weather held out
till the last pour.
208
00:08:07,767 --> 00:08:08,934
[Ally] There we go.
209
00:08:10,567 --> 00:08:11,433
We got her done.
210
00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:12,634
All right, babe.
211
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,166
[thunder rumbling]
212
00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:31,200
[Garrett] Well,
we were supposed to continue
213
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,367
with construction today,
214
00:08:33,367 --> 00:08:36,266
but as you can see,
we're done.
215
00:08:36,266 --> 00:08:37,867
We knew it was gonna rain
but we didn't realize
216
00:08:37,867 --> 00:08:40,367
there was gonna be
this much standing water.
217
00:08:44,100 --> 00:08:46,367
We were really hoping
to start laying blocks today,
218
00:08:46,367 --> 00:08:47,667
but with all this water,
219
00:08:47,667 --> 00:08:49,100
it's gonna push us back,
220
00:08:49,100 --> 00:08:51,367
at least, a week, if not two.
221
00:08:51,367 --> 00:08:53,467
[thunder rumbling]
222
00:08:54,567 --> 00:08:56,333
[Garrett]
Today is just a total bust.
223
00:09:06,066 --> 00:09:07,867
[upbeat music playing]
224
00:09:07,867 --> 00:09:10,200
[Ally] It took a few weeks for
the foundation to dry out,
225
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,467
but now we're rocking
and rolling.
226
00:09:12,467 --> 00:09:14,266
I am so excited for today.
227
00:09:14,266 --> 00:09:17,000
Over the last month,
we've had the blocks set,
228
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,500
we've had the subfloor in.
229
00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:21,767
And, today, we get to see
the walls come up,
230
00:09:21,767 --> 00:09:24,166
which is pretty incredible.
231
00:09:24,166 --> 00:09:26,100
The biggest challenge
we face right now
232
00:09:26,100 --> 00:09:28,767
is we are expecting
rain tomorrow.
233
00:09:28,767 --> 00:09:30,567
So we're hoping
that holds off.
234
00:09:30,567 --> 00:09:33,200
It's a little windy today,
but we got clear skies
235
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,867
and it is the perfect
temperature to build in.
236
00:09:35,867 --> 00:09:37,967
Everybody knows
thunderstorms here are crazy.
237
00:09:37,967 --> 00:09:39,233
We can't work in the rain.
238
00:09:40,867 --> 00:09:42,100
[Ally]
So we have the crew here
239
00:09:42,100 --> 00:09:43,467
and we only have them today.
240
00:09:43,467 --> 00:09:45,800
So, hopefully,
we can get everything framed,
241
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,166
because tomorrow
it doesn't look like
242
00:09:47,166 --> 00:09:48,266
we'll be able to work.
243
00:09:48,266 --> 00:09:50,367
[upbeat music playing]
244
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,333
[Ally] Woo.
245
00:09:56,100 --> 00:09:57,900
Can I nail our first wall in?
246
00:09:57,900 --> 00:09:59,533
[Garrett] You sure can, baby.
247
00:10:00,367 --> 00:10:01,100
[Ally] All right.
248
00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:02,467
First time with the nail gun.
249
00:10:02,467 --> 00:10:03,567
No pressure.
250
00:10:03,567 --> 00:10:05,000
Do you trust me with this gun?
251
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Well, I'm standing behind you.
252
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,100
That should answer everything.
253
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:07,967
Oh, God.
254
00:10:08,867 --> 00:10:10,567
-Okay.
-[Garrett chuckles]
255
00:10:10,567 --> 00:10:12,667
[Ally] I have no
wall building experience.
256
00:10:12,667 --> 00:10:15,000
Actually,
the only walls I built,
257
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,367
um, I built
a gingerbread house
258
00:10:17,367 --> 00:10:19,133
a couple Christmases ago.
259
00:10:21,867 --> 00:10:23,834
Bad news,
we can't eat these walls.
260
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:25,967
[gasps]
261
00:10:25,967 --> 00:10:27,166
That's pretty sturdy.
262
00:10:27,166 --> 00:10:28,166
All right.
263
00:10:28,166 --> 00:10:29,834
-Two on this side?
-[man] Mmm-hmm.
264
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:31,734
Not too high.
265
00:10:32,900 --> 00:10:33,767
[Ally] That was good.
266
00:10:33,767 --> 00:10:34,800
That nail gun
267
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,100
is serious business.
268
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:38,200
You have to have technique.
269
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,200
It's like boom, pow.
270
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,800
Not... When I did it,
271
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,767
it was like
boom, boom, boom, boom.
272
00:10:42,767 --> 00:10:44,100
-[laughs]
-But you need
273
00:10:44,100 --> 00:10:46,333
the "boom-pow" technique.
274
00:10:48,166 --> 00:10:49,567
[Ally] After the first couple,
275
00:10:49,567 --> 00:10:51,266
I think I got my aim down.
276
00:10:52,266 --> 00:10:53,467
Yeah, buddy.
277
00:10:53,467 --> 00:10:54,967
I think
I got the rhythm down.
278
00:10:57,700 --> 00:10:59,100
-[man] Pretty aligned.
-Yup.
279
00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:00,567
[Ally]
So I think I'm ready to do
280
00:11:00,567 --> 00:11:01,634
the rest of the house now.
281
00:11:02,967 --> 00:11:05,367
I help put the first wall up.
282
00:11:05,367 --> 00:11:06,567
Will you give me a grade?
283
00:11:06,567 --> 00:11:07,967
You grade this one
284
00:11:07,967 --> 00:11:10,000
and then you grade
all these down here.
285
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,600
Well, we got a "not coloring
in the lines" score down here.
286
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,166
And it took about five shots.
287
00:11:16,166 --> 00:11:17,967
[Garrett] And you're
a Rhodes Scholar by the end.
288
00:11:17,967 --> 00:11:19,166
[Ally] Are you proud of me?
289
00:11:19,667 --> 00:11:20,700
-Of course.
-Yeah?
290
00:11:20,700 --> 00:11:21,800
Thank you, Jeremy,
291
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,567
for letting me use
your nail gun.
292
00:11:23,567 --> 00:11:25,467
You're welcome.
And we're leaving one
293
00:11:25,467 --> 00:11:27,000
-over there for you.
-[Ally] Okay.
294
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,500
[Jeremy] On that side
of the house.
295
00:11:28,500 --> 00:11:29,467
[Ally] All right.
296
00:11:30,467 --> 00:11:31,667
Boom, boom, boom.
297
00:11:32,767 --> 00:11:34,367
It feels great
to get the first one up.
298
00:11:34,367 --> 00:11:35,467
I feel like the bones
of the house
299
00:11:35,467 --> 00:11:36,367
are coming together...
300
00:11:38,266 --> 00:11:40,567
and we'll have
this thing done in no time.
301
00:11:40,567 --> 00:11:42,734
[upbeat music playing]
302
00:11:48,166 --> 00:11:50,800
So I kind
of tuckered myself out
303
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,367
with all the heavy lifting
304
00:11:52,367 --> 00:11:54,200
and all the work
I was doing today.
305
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,166
I was just trying to take
a little snooze, you know?
306
00:11:57,166 --> 00:11:58,667
Like our living room
is gonna be there.
307
00:11:58,667 --> 00:12:00,166
I'm trying to see
what it feels like
308
00:12:00,166 --> 00:12:01,567
when we put the couch there.
309
00:12:01,567 --> 00:12:02,567
And then...
310
00:12:03,567 --> 00:12:04,867
[shouts]
311
00:12:04,867 --> 00:12:07,600
[laughs]
312
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,166
There's no sleeping
on the job around here.
313
00:12:09,166 --> 00:12:10,133
Ugh.
314
00:12:11,166 --> 00:12:12,734
[Garrett] Oh.
315
00:12:13,367 --> 00:12:14,500
Got all the walls up.
316
00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:15,300
I think they're really great.
317
00:12:15,300 --> 00:12:17,400
You see all the progress
for the day.
318
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,767
We've been
in a super big hurry,
319
00:12:18,767 --> 00:12:19,767
working really hard.
320
00:12:19,767 --> 00:12:21,100
The rain is coming tomorrow.
321
00:12:21,100 --> 00:12:22,700
Last wall is almost finished
322
00:12:22,700 --> 00:12:24,467
and next step is the rafters.
323
00:12:24,467 --> 00:12:26,367
[Ally] I can kind of see
the floor layout.
324
00:12:26,367 --> 00:12:27,967
What everything's gonna
look like in the house
325
00:12:27,967 --> 00:12:30,867
and I'm so excited
to see it take shape.
326
00:12:30,867 --> 00:12:32,467
[phone rings]
327
00:12:32,467 --> 00:12:35,266
[Ally]
And then I get a phone call.
328
00:12:35,266 --> 00:12:36,533
Hello?
329
00:12:37,100 --> 00:12:37,867
[gasps]
330
00:12:37,867 --> 00:12:40,166
Are you serious?
331
00:12:40,166 --> 00:12:41,734
That's a huge problem.
332
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:44,667
Okay. I'll let him know.
333
00:12:44,667 --> 00:12:45,667
Thank you.
334
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:48,500
Garrett...
335
00:12:48,500 --> 00:12:51,166
-I have to tell you something.
-Yeah?
336
00:12:51,166 --> 00:12:53,467
So the lumber company
just called me
337
00:12:53,467 --> 00:12:55,567
and they said that
they're not gonna be able
338
00:12:55,567 --> 00:12:57,266
to deliver our rafters today.
339
00:12:57,266 --> 00:12:59,000
That they sent them
to Abbeville.
340
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,700
-Do you know where that is?
-What?
341
00:13:00,700 --> 00:13:02,066
Well, when are they
gonna bring 'em?
342
00:13:02,066 --> 00:13:03,367
We were supposed to start
on the rafters today,
343
00:13:03,367 --> 00:13:04,467
that's why we got
all the walls up.
344
00:13:04,467 --> 00:13:05,467
I know.
I don't have any answers.
345
00:13:05,467 --> 00:13:06,367
I need to call them back.
346
00:13:06,367 --> 00:13:07,500
But I was just
gonna let you know
347
00:13:07,500 --> 00:13:09,667
that they're not
gonna be here tonight.
348
00:13:09,667 --> 00:13:11,133
But what about the rain?
349
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:13,333
I don't know.
350
00:13:23,567 --> 00:13:25,667
[Ally] Tomorrow, it's gonna be
stormy and rainy.
351
00:13:25,667 --> 00:13:27,166
The builders are here today.
352
00:13:27,166 --> 00:13:28,367
We really wanted
to get this done,
353
00:13:28,367 --> 00:13:30,467
so this is a huge problem
for us.
354
00:13:35,066 --> 00:13:37,166
[dramatic music playing]
355
00:13:38,467 --> 00:13:40,467
[Ally] So we worked out
the quirk with the lumber.
356
00:13:40,467 --> 00:13:42,100
It's here.
357
00:13:42,100 --> 00:13:45,400
The bad news is
it's raining and it's windy.
358
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,500
But the good news is
we do have a break
359
00:13:47,500 --> 00:13:49,000
in the weather right now...
360
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,867
so we're gonna try
to make it to the site today
361
00:13:50,867 --> 00:13:52,667
to see if we can get
some work done.
362
00:13:54,967 --> 00:13:56,867
It's so nasty out today.
363
00:13:57,500 --> 00:13:58,934
I wish it would go away.
364
00:13:59,667 --> 00:14:01,500
I wanna get the trusses up.
365
00:14:01,500 --> 00:14:02,900
When it rains
in South Georgia,
366
00:14:02,900 --> 00:14:04,200
it is super muddy,
367
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,100
especially when you have
a lot of farmland
368
00:14:06,100 --> 00:14:07,233
around your build.
369
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:08,867
Oh.
370
00:14:10,166 --> 00:14:11,567
Where am I going?
371
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,767
Uh-oh.
372
00:14:15,767 --> 00:14:17,967
All of a sudden,
the wheels started sliding.
373
00:14:17,967 --> 00:14:19,166
I'm losing control.
374
00:14:19,166 --> 00:14:20,634
I don't know what to do.
375
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,667
Does this thing
have 4-wheel drive?
376
00:14:23,667 --> 00:14:25,266
I think it's broken.
377
00:14:26,467 --> 00:14:28,066
-Give it--
-[Ally] Well, I'm stuck.
378
00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:32,233
All right. Give it more gas.
379
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,467
Uh-oh.
380
00:14:35,467 --> 00:14:37,166
This is just what we needed.
381
00:14:37,166 --> 00:14:38,834
[truck engine revs]
382
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,300
[Ally] Oh, no.
383
00:14:41,300 --> 00:14:42,700
[Garrett] She's giving it gas.
384
00:14:42,700 --> 00:14:44,000
We're spinning a lot.
385
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,667
She's put it in reverse,
and just nothing.
386
00:14:45,667 --> 00:14:46,934
The truck's stuck.
387
00:14:47,867 --> 00:14:48,867
Oh, no.
388
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,200
Do you have something
you can pull this out with?
389
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:53,500
Yes. There's a strap
in the back.
390
00:14:53,500 --> 00:14:56,000
And I think
our bulldozer will work.
391
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,367
So we're in moccasin county
392
00:14:57,367 --> 00:14:59,266
and I'm not real excited
about getting out
393
00:14:59,266 --> 00:15:00,200
on all these grass, you know?
394
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,867
It's nothing
I haven't had to do before,
395
00:15:01,867 --> 00:15:04,467
but I don't have any
snake pants, any snake boots.
396
00:15:04,467 --> 00:15:06,233
I'm out here in my skimpies.
397
00:15:07,667 --> 00:15:08,800
I'm gonna have
to go get the dozer.
398
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,767
It's really far away.
399
00:15:10,767 --> 00:15:12,467
-Just sit tight--
-Are you gonna leave me here
400
00:15:12,467 --> 00:15:14,100
with all these moccasins?
401
00:15:14,100 --> 00:15:16,467
Y'all, me and snakes
do not get along.
402
00:15:16,467 --> 00:15:17,567
So I was like,
403
00:15:17,567 --> 00:15:19,166
"Hmm, Garrett,
you make the trek.
404
00:15:19,166 --> 00:15:20,567
You go get the bulldozer.
405
00:15:20,567 --> 00:15:22,967
I'm gonna sit in the truck
safe and sound."
406
00:15:22,967 --> 00:15:25,500
All these snakes,
407
00:15:25,500 --> 00:15:27,200
lions, and tigers, and bears.
408
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,333
Oh, no.
409
00:15:30,166 --> 00:15:32,700
[dramatic music playing]
410
00:15:32,700 --> 00:15:34,433
Made the trek
to get the dozer.
411
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,300
Thank God for farmers
and farm equipment.
412
00:15:43,300 --> 00:15:45,000
Luckily,
everything went as planned.
413
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,100
I had a tow strap.
414
00:15:46,100 --> 00:15:47,433
Hooked everything up.
415
00:15:50,867 --> 00:15:52,367
[Ally] What should I do?
416
00:15:52,367 --> 00:15:53,867
Should I put it in neutral?
417
00:15:53,867 --> 00:15:55,266
No. You should crank it up,
418
00:15:55,266 --> 00:15:57,467
and just whenever
you feel pressure,
419
00:15:57,467 --> 00:15:59,200
just ease the gas to it.
420
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:00,900
And when you get out the mud,
421
00:16:00,900 --> 00:16:02,567
don't run into the back
of the dozer.
422
00:16:02,567 --> 00:16:03,634
Got it, captain.
423
00:16:07,667 --> 00:16:09,767
[truck engine revving]
424
00:16:18,467 --> 00:16:20,200
Yay.
425
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,533
Just a little more.
426
00:16:24,066 --> 00:16:25,166
Woo.
427
00:16:27,500 --> 00:16:28,867
Almost there.
428
00:16:28,867 --> 00:16:31,133
Woo!
429
00:16:32,767 --> 00:16:34,300
It really sucks today.
430
00:16:34,300 --> 00:16:36,266
I was hoping
we'd get some work done.
431
00:16:36,266 --> 00:16:38,767
But, however, it is just
too bad to make it to site.
432
00:16:38,767 --> 00:16:41,166
So we just need to wait
for this road to dry out.
433
00:16:41,166 --> 00:16:42,500
That way, we can get down it.
434
00:16:42,500 --> 00:16:43,767
It could be a couple days,
435
00:16:43,767 --> 00:16:47,100
so this is a really big
setback for us. And...
436
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:49,333
[sighs] We gotta love
the weather.
437
00:16:50,767 --> 00:16:52,533
We'll just go home today.
It's a loss.
438
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,000
[Ally] While the ground
was drying out,
439
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,567
I got a little bored.
440
00:17:03,567 --> 00:17:05,000
I've asked Garrett,
I was like,
441
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,500
"Why don't we set up
our trail camera
442
00:17:06,500 --> 00:17:08,400
and just see
what comes up to the house.
443
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,667
I wanna know what's moving
in the middle of the night."
444
00:17:11,667 --> 00:17:14,934
And I cannot believe
what we saw.
445
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,433
We saw a bear.
446
00:17:18,166 --> 00:17:19,734
It was insane.
447
00:17:20,300 --> 00:17:22,266
This was no baby bear.
448
00:17:22,266 --> 00:17:25,800
This was like an adolescent,
mom and pop bear.
449
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,867
This bear could have
seriously done some damage.
450
00:17:27,867 --> 00:17:30,000
All the more reason
to get the walls up,
451
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,867
get the house going
so they do not return.
452
00:17:33,467 --> 00:17:34,667
It really just makes me think
453
00:17:34,667 --> 00:17:37,667
that we're not alone
out here.
454
00:17:37,667 --> 00:17:40,266
These walls
cannot go up fast enough.
455
00:17:42,567 --> 00:17:44,000
[upbeat music playing]
456
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,166
[Garrett] This build has
had tons of challenges.
457
00:17:46,166 --> 00:17:47,700
We're way off grid,
458
00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:49,066
supplies are
already hard to get,
459
00:17:49,066 --> 00:17:50,867
and then we just had
tons of rain.
460
00:17:50,867 --> 00:17:52,200
Spring showers everywhere.
461
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,800
The roads
have been super mucky.
462
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,367
They took the materials
to another place.
463
00:17:55,367 --> 00:17:56,667
Couldn't get
any building done.
464
00:17:56,667 --> 00:17:57,934
This made it really hectic.
465
00:17:59,266 --> 00:18:01,767
But, today,
the sun's finally out.
466
00:18:01,767 --> 00:18:04,367
We've got the boom truck in,
trusses are coming up,
467
00:18:04,367 --> 00:18:07,066
and we' 're finally making
some progress on this build.
468
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,567
[Garrett speaking]
469
00:18:11,567 --> 00:18:14,200
[upbeat music playing]
470
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,100
[Jeremy] We finally got
the trusses here,
471
00:18:16,100 --> 00:18:18,667
and now we're just trying
to get 'em all set...
472
00:18:19,767 --> 00:18:22,467
and hoping the wind
don't get up real high today.
473
00:18:23,867 --> 00:18:26,934
It's been blowing
60-mile-an-hour gusts.
474
00:18:27,367 --> 00:18:28,867
And if it does that,
475
00:18:28,867 --> 00:18:30,166
it could blow 'em down.
476
00:18:32,767 --> 00:18:33,800
[chuckles]
477
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,133
Not today.
478
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,300
You ain't got
the one hook on it.
479
00:18:39,300 --> 00:18:41,066
Ease it down.
480
00:18:41,066 --> 00:18:42,667
In order to prevent 'em
from blowing down,
481
00:18:42,667 --> 00:18:44,266
we've got
to get 'em braced off
482
00:18:44,266 --> 00:18:46,166
and tied down at the top.
483
00:18:46,166 --> 00:18:47,467
We're making good progress.
484
00:18:47,467 --> 00:18:49,367
Just if
the weather cooperates,
485
00:18:49,367 --> 00:18:50,300
we can go on with it.
486
00:18:50,300 --> 00:18:51,667
[man] Eight and seven-eighths.
487
00:18:51,667 --> 00:18:52,900
[Garrett] Close enough
for governmental work?
488
00:18:52,900 --> 00:18:54,000
[man] Yup.
489
00:18:55,367 --> 00:18:57,166
[Garrett] I grew up farming.
I'm not a carpenter,
490
00:18:57,166 --> 00:18:59,567
so climbing oak was bananas.
491
00:18:59,567 --> 00:19:00,867
Trying to hold on
with one hand,
492
00:19:00,867 --> 00:19:02,767
run the staple gun
with the other,
493
00:19:02,767 --> 00:19:04,100
keep everything squared
494
00:19:04,100 --> 00:19:06,200
and on target was
a pretty big challenge.
495
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,600
But we got a couple nails
in each one.
496
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:08,767
Everything was sturdy.
497
00:19:10,266 --> 00:19:11,767
I got this one done.
498
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:13,166
I hope it's right.
499
00:19:13,166 --> 00:19:14,567
Luckily, we got it all done.
500
00:19:14,567 --> 00:19:15,867
The rafters are finished.
501
00:19:15,867 --> 00:19:17,266
Now, we can move on
to the next phase
502
00:19:17,266 --> 00:19:18,467
of the build.
503
00:19:19,300 --> 00:19:21,367
I'm really looking forward
to the next phase of the build
504
00:19:21,367 --> 00:19:22,767
where we finish up the roof,
505
00:19:22,767 --> 00:19:24,867
wrapping the house,
and starting on siding.
506
00:19:24,867 --> 00:19:26,500
After that,
we'll get everything dried in
507
00:19:26,500 --> 00:19:28,266
and start on the inside.
508
00:19:32,266 --> 00:19:35,367
[dramatic music playing]
509
00:19:35,367 --> 00:19:37,867
We are so overwhelmed.
510
00:19:37,867 --> 00:19:39,100
Nothing's getting done.
511
00:19:39,100 --> 00:19:41,200
This would fall
during harvest season.
512
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,900
It's incredibly busy.
513
00:19:42,900 --> 00:19:44,467
Garrett is so overwhelmed.
514
00:19:44,467 --> 00:19:46,367
He hasn't been able
to dedicate a lot of time
515
00:19:46,367 --> 00:19:49,266
to the build
because what pays the bills?
516
00:19:49,266 --> 00:19:50,367
Farming.
517
00:19:50,367 --> 00:19:52,567
[Garrett] A typical year
of farming we would have
518
00:19:52,567 --> 00:19:54,367
a break between like
planting and harvesting.
519
00:19:54,367 --> 00:19:55,500
We'd have some free time.
520
00:19:55,500 --> 00:19:56,800
We could already
knock this build out.
521
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,767
But this year has
just been crazy.
522
00:19:58,767 --> 00:20:01,600
From the rains
and the heat and the drought,
523
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,567
it's just been
a hodgepodge of issues
524
00:20:03,567 --> 00:20:06,166
and the build has been
on the back burner,
525
00:20:06,166 --> 00:20:07,567
nothing's really getting done
with it.
526
00:20:07,567 --> 00:20:10,567
And this farming is consuming
all of my time right now.
527
00:20:10,567 --> 00:20:12,834
I just don't know if we're
gonna finish up on time.
528
00:20:17,567 --> 00:20:19,300
[upbeat music playing]
529
00:20:19,300 --> 00:20:22,066
[Ally] Life has been
an absolute whirlwind lately.
530
00:20:22,066 --> 00:20:24,000
Garrett's been farming
nonstop.
531
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,800
I've been traveling
for work quite a bit.
532
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,700
So we're finally getting
a break in our schedule
533
00:20:27,700 --> 00:20:30,133
to really dedicate
to this build.
534
00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:34,467
So it's super cool to see
the new build coming along.
535
00:20:34,467 --> 00:20:37,467
I haven't seen it
since it was just four walls
536
00:20:37,467 --> 00:20:39,266
and no rafters.
537
00:20:39,266 --> 00:20:42,166
You can really see the bones
starting to come together.
538
00:20:42,166 --> 00:20:45,900
So here's gonna be
the French doors that open up.
539
00:20:45,900 --> 00:20:50,066
And then we have grated
windows, a wide porch.
540
00:20:50,066 --> 00:20:52,700
This is going to be
the bedroom.
541
00:20:52,700 --> 00:20:56,667
And then it'll have
a walkway to the bathroom.
542
00:20:56,667 --> 00:20:59,100
Very spacious.
543
00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:01,767
Some of my favorite parts are
just all the natural light.
544
00:21:01,767 --> 00:21:04,100
We're gonna have super big
windows on the front porch.
545
00:21:04,100 --> 00:21:06,000
I'm super excited about that.
546
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,867
This looks great.
547
00:21:08,867 --> 00:21:11,266
Also I'm super pumped
about the loft.
548
00:21:11,266 --> 00:21:15,066
I think that is becoming my
favorite part of this house.
549
00:21:15,066 --> 00:21:16,166
Wow.
550
00:21:16,166 --> 00:21:18,867
This space looks awesome.
551
00:21:18,867 --> 00:21:20,000
But I just love it.
552
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,533
I love the porch
overlooking in the back.
553
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,000
I think we're gonna
clear out of these trees
554
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,500
so we have more of a view.
555
00:21:29,500 --> 00:21:31,600
This looks incredible.
556
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:32,867
I love it.
557
00:21:32,867 --> 00:21:35,166
It feels so good
to have everything
558
00:21:35,166 --> 00:21:36,867
finally coming together.
559
00:21:36,867 --> 00:21:38,300
We're rocking and rolling.
560
00:21:38,300 --> 00:21:42,467
Roof is going on soon,
and I'm just super excited.
561
00:21:42,467 --> 00:21:44,166
[upbeat rock music playing]
562
00:21:49,700 --> 00:21:50,767
The plans finally
came together.
563
00:21:50,767 --> 00:21:51,800
The weather is cleared out.
564
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,000
The roofers are here
565
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,500
and we're finally
gonna see some changes.
566
00:21:54,500 --> 00:21:55,400
[Ally] Yay.
567
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:56,767
[Garrett] Getting the roof
on this place
568
00:21:56,767 --> 00:21:57,767
means the world to me.
569
00:21:57,767 --> 00:21:59,467
We've been trying for months
to get it all done.
570
00:21:59,467 --> 00:22:00,667
We're behind schedule.
571
00:22:00,667 --> 00:22:02,000
With all the rain
we've been having,
572
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,266
it's really important
to get the roof on.
573
00:22:04,867 --> 00:22:06,166
Julio, can we help?
574
00:22:06,166 --> 00:22:07,667
Yeah. Sure, come.
575
00:22:07,667 --> 00:22:09,200
[chuckles]
576
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,266
[Garrett]
Everything's getting wet.
577
00:22:10,266 --> 00:22:11,500
Even though we have
the place dried in,
578
00:22:11,500 --> 00:22:13,767
it's still wreaking
havoc on the interior.
579
00:22:13,767 --> 00:22:15,266
We need to get all
the shingles on
580
00:22:15,266 --> 00:22:17,000
to keep the water out.
581
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,000
-I'm not getting up there.
-One foot in the middle and,
582
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,100
one on the edge.
583
00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:21,266
-Here?
-Yeah.
584
00:22:21,266 --> 00:22:22,900
[Garrett] That roof's,
really steep,
585
00:22:22,900 --> 00:22:24,667
so we're gonna have
to be careful up there.
586
00:22:24,667 --> 00:22:26,000
We don't want
anyone falling off.
587
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,667
-Especially me.
-Yeah.
588
00:22:27,667 --> 00:22:29,834
[upbeat music playing]
589
00:22:32,867 --> 00:22:34,867
[Ally] So this keeps you
all from falling?
590
00:22:34,867 --> 00:22:35,934
Yeah.
591
00:22:36,700 --> 00:22:38,000
[Ally] Is that...
You all trust...
592
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,700
This is what you all trust?
593
00:22:39,700 --> 00:22:41,834
-Exactly.
-[Ally] Oh, my gosh.
594
00:22:42,467 --> 00:22:43,634
You wanna try one, Ally?
595
00:22:44,867 --> 00:22:46,967
Move...
If you move out of the way,
596
00:22:46,967 --> 00:22:48,200
I guess.
597
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,867
So putting up
the walls really made me
598
00:22:49,867 --> 00:22:52,266
realize I enjoy
using the nail gun.
599
00:22:52,266 --> 00:22:55,166
So I think I'm gonna try
it again this time.
600
00:22:55,166 --> 00:22:56,967
[Julio] You'll be
safe on the ladder.
601
00:22:56,967 --> 00:22:58,500
[Ally grunts]
602
00:22:58,500 --> 00:23:00,500
If I fall,
I might take you with me.
603
00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:02,000
-[Garrett] Don't do that.
-[Julio chuckles]
604
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,000
[Garrett] Hold on.
605
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,867
-Just stay on the ladder.
-[Ally] Okay.
606
00:23:04,867 --> 00:23:05,967
[Garrett] I'm a little
nervous because
607
00:23:05,967 --> 00:23:07,100
she's gonna be on an angle
608
00:23:07,100 --> 00:23:08,500
on the roof with the nail gun,
609
00:23:08,500 --> 00:23:10,166
so not only is she
gonna shoot herself,
610
00:23:10,166 --> 00:23:11,967
she might fall off
shooting everybody.
611
00:23:11,967 --> 00:23:13,467
Everybody.
612
00:23:13,467 --> 00:23:15,567
[Garrett] Put one right here,
knock that right in.
613
00:23:15,567 --> 00:23:16,567
[Ally chuckles]
614
00:23:16,567 --> 00:23:17,867
[Garrett] Oh, this point.
615
00:23:17,867 --> 00:23:19,066
In the middle. In the middle.
616
00:23:20,300 --> 00:23:22,967
Oh, no, in the...
In the middle between the tar.
617
00:23:22,967 --> 00:23:23,967
-[Julio] Nope.
-[Garrett] Nope.
618
00:23:25,266 --> 00:23:26,400
-Okay.
-[Julio] Oh.
619
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,567
No, no, no, right here.
620
00:23:29,900 --> 00:23:31,000
-Oh.
-[Julio] Yeah, in the end.
621
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,166
[Ally] Not good.
You do it, babe.
622
00:23:33,166 --> 00:23:35,367
-[Julio] Okay.
-[Garrett] I don't want
my roof to leak.
623
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,433
I lost privileges.
624
00:23:39,700 --> 00:23:41,667
I was a master
for the nail gun on the walls
625
00:23:41,667 --> 00:23:43,000
but when it comes to the roof,
I think
626
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,066
I'm gonna leave while
I'm still on top.
627
00:23:45,767 --> 00:23:47,467
My one shot was more like a...
628
00:23:47,467 --> 00:23:49,500
[mimics nail gun]
...like a three shot.
629
00:23:49,500 --> 00:23:51,266
So that didn't work out.
630
00:23:51,266 --> 00:23:52,800
So I was booted
from gun duty today,
631
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,200
which is fine by me because
it is really high up there.
632
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,066
Hey, bring me some
more shingles, boss.
633
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,967
It's really good
to be getting hands on
with this roof.
634
00:24:02,967 --> 00:24:05,000
Finally getting to learn
how to put shingles on
635
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,000
and we're really excited
to see the progress.
636
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,834
[upbeat music playing]
637
00:24:14,667 --> 00:24:15,867
[Ally] What's next our list?
638
00:24:15,867 --> 00:24:16,900
[Garrett]
We'll start on windows.
639
00:24:16,900 --> 00:24:18,700
You gotta get the glass
company to get it cut,
640
00:24:18,700 --> 00:24:20,700
getting them framed in,
and then we can
641
00:24:20,700 --> 00:24:22,600
start rock and rolling
with finishing the inside.
642
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,066
Sheetrock, insulation,
get our countertops
643
00:24:25,066 --> 00:24:27,767
picked out, cabinets,
and roll on along.
644
00:24:27,767 --> 00:24:30,266
I'm so excited for the glass
windows in the front.
645
00:24:30,266 --> 00:24:31,667
Let all that natural light in.
646
00:24:31,667 --> 00:24:33,066
It's gonna be beautiful.
647
00:24:37,066 --> 00:24:39,533
[dramatic music playing]
648
00:24:41,767 --> 00:24:44,500
[Ally] I'm just checking out
the process of our build,
649
00:24:44,500 --> 00:24:47,900
unfortunately we have
a huge dilemma.
650
00:24:47,900 --> 00:24:49,567
We're waiting on our windows.
651
00:24:49,567 --> 00:24:52,500
Jeremy and his crew
cannot work anymore
652
00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:53,867
until our windows arrive.
653
00:24:53,867 --> 00:24:56,567
And we have no
estimated time of delivery
654
00:24:56,567 --> 00:24:58,200
or when they'll be here.
655
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,467
So that is incredibly
frustrating.
656
00:25:01,467 --> 00:25:03,367
I thought we'd be
dried in by now,
657
00:25:03,367 --> 00:25:05,767
but until these
windows get here,
658
00:25:05,767 --> 00:25:07,200
we're at a complete
standstill,
659
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,000
which really puts a wrench
in our timeline.
660
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,066
Super, super frustrating.
661
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,433
[country music playing]
662
00:25:21,867 --> 00:25:23,767
[Ally] We have been
waiting for what feels
663
00:25:23,767 --> 00:25:26,667
like months
for these windows.
664
00:25:26,667 --> 00:25:28,967
Nothing can be done
on the interior
665
00:25:28,967 --> 00:25:31,800
and that's the fun part
for me is doing the interior,
666
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,734
designing everything,
making it all come together.
667
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,800
So the windows
are arriving today
668
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,500
and I could not be happier.
669
00:25:39,500 --> 00:25:41,700
I just hope
the weather holds out
670
00:25:41,700 --> 00:25:44,000
and hope the guys get here
and work really hard.
671
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,567
[indistinct chatter]
672
00:25:45,567 --> 00:25:48,100
We do have these
beautiful large windows
673
00:25:48,100 --> 00:25:50,066
that really fit
the A-frame of the house.
674
00:25:50,066 --> 00:25:51,900
And so we have
a specialty crew to come
675
00:25:51,900 --> 00:25:54,634
and install those larger
windows into the build.
676
00:25:57,367 --> 00:25:58,700
I'm a little afraid
of heights,
677
00:25:58,700 --> 00:26:01,166
I risked it with
the nail gun on the roof,
678
00:26:01,166 --> 00:26:02,767
but I think I'm gonna
sit this one out
679
00:26:02,767 --> 00:26:04,967
because these windows
are super heavy.
680
00:26:04,967 --> 00:26:07,600
[man in foreign language]
681
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:08,700
[Garrett] These guys
are working really hard.
682
00:26:08,700 --> 00:26:10,233
Glass is coming off the truck,
683
00:26:10,667 --> 00:26:12,367
caulk's going in.
684
00:26:13,567 --> 00:26:16,133
These guys are just
working like crazy.
685
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,767
We're gonna have our
windows in before you know it.
686
00:26:19,500 --> 00:26:21,634
[indistinct chatter]
687
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:27,567
[Ally] Oh, there it is.
688
00:26:27,567 --> 00:26:29,367
[Garrett] Oh, watch the top.
689
00:26:29,367 --> 00:26:30,266
You ready?
690
00:26:31,567 --> 00:26:33,266
This is risky business.
691
00:26:33,266 --> 00:26:34,467
[Garrett laughs]
692
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:36,800
[man speaking]
693
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,000
[Garrett] Oh, come on.
694
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,667
We got one more window,
the last one,
695
00:26:40,667 --> 00:26:42,367
and the whole puzzle's
put together,
696
00:26:42,367 --> 00:26:44,467
and we talked him into letting
Ally and I put it in.
697
00:26:44,467 --> 00:26:45,900
[man speaking]
698
00:26:45,900 --> 00:26:48,200
[Garrett] With some coaching
and a little handholding,
699
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,300
I think we're gonna get it in
700
00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:50,533
and it's gonna
look really great.
701
00:26:52,567 --> 00:26:53,767
-[Ally] Look at that.
-[Garrett] Boy.
702
00:26:54,166 --> 00:26:55,767
[man speaking]
703
00:26:56,367 --> 00:26:57,266
You all hiring?
704
00:26:57,266 --> 00:26:59,166
-[man] Yeah.
-Oh, I got caulk on my
fingers.
705
00:26:59,166 --> 00:27:01,400
[man speaking]
706
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,000
[Ally] It was really
exciting to put a window
707
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,000
into the house
and now I can point
708
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,300
at that window
and say, "I did that.
709
00:27:06,300 --> 00:27:07,767
I put that there."
710
00:27:07,767 --> 00:27:09,166
We're finally done.
711
00:27:09,166 --> 00:27:10,233
Yay!
712
00:27:10,667 --> 00:27:12,200
It looks so good.
713
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,900
[Garrett] All we lack now
is the doors
714
00:27:13,900 --> 00:27:15,166
and we'll be sealed up
715
00:27:15,166 --> 00:27:16,634
and we can start
on the inside.
716
00:27:17,567 --> 00:27:18,767
It feels amazing.
717
00:27:18,767 --> 00:27:20,600
I saw the house
from the ground up
718
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,200
and now it's starting
to look like a beautiful home,
719
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,100
and everything
is coming together.
720
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:26,500
We just wanna say thank you.
721
00:27:26,500 --> 00:27:27,700
Everything looks great
722
00:27:27,700 --> 00:27:29,200
and you guys worked
really hard today.
723
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,100
[man speaking]
724
00:27:31,100 --> 00:27:33,100
It all looks super good.
725
00:27:33,100 --> 00:27:35,000
[Ally]
Today was an amazing day.
726
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,767
We actually got done
earlier than I thought,
727
00:27:36,767 --> 00:27:39,734
so we're headed to the beach
and I cannot wait.
728
00:27:47,467 --> 00:27:49,266
[upbeat music playing]
729
00:27:51,367 --> 00:27:53,133
[Garrett] Insulation's in.
730
00:27:54,166 --> 00:27:55,934
Sheetrock's going in.
731
00:27:56,767 --> 00:27:59,333
[Garrett speaking]
732
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:04,767
So we've been really busy.
733
00:28:04,767 --> 00:28:07,000
We've done insulation,
sheetrock,
734
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,467
and we've put the floor in.
735
00:28:08,467 --> 00:28:10,600
The interior is slowly
coming together.
736
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,834
I'm excited to really get
in there and make it my own.
737
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,734
[thunder rumbles]
738
00:28:19,667 --> 00:28:21,867
[Ally] So we're already
months behind schedule
739
00:28:21,867 --> 00:28:23,100
and the hits keep coming.
740
00:28:23,100 --> 00:28:24,300
As you can see, the rain
741
00:28:24,300 --> 00:28:26,100
is already starting
to stir up.
742
00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:27,967
It's just one thing
after another.
743
00:28:29,100 --> 00:28:30,400
So I'm sitting in my car.
744
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,667
No way that
I'm getting out in this.
745
00:28:32,667 --> 00:28:36,166
We have a Category 4 hurricane
coming this way.
746
00:28:36,166 --> 00:28:38,100
Just what we needed.
747
00:28:38,100 --> 00:28:40,100
It's gonna hit
in a couple hours.
748
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:42,900
We have some hundred
mile-per-hour winds
749
00:28:42,900 --> 00:28:44,300
coming our way.
750
00:28:44,300 --> 00:28:46,000
Garrett and I went
to the build site,
751
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,467
strapped down all the boards,
752
00:28:48,467 --> 00:28:51,634
got rid of any building
supplies that may fly away.
753
00:28:58,367 --> 00:28:59,667
[Ally] This sucks.
754
00:28:59,667 --> 00:29:02,867
It's gonna set us back
yet again for our build.
755
00:29:02,867 --> 00:29:04,800
We can't win with the weather.
756
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,333
I just hope nothing
happens to the build.
757
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,533
[dramatic music playing]
758
00:29:19,867 --> 00:29:21,667
[birds chirping]
759
00:29:21,667 --> 00:29:22,767
[Ally]
So the hurricane hit us,
760
00:29:22,767 --> 00:29:24,300
we were worried
about flooding.
761
00:29:24,300 --> 00:29:25,867
But luckily,
the house is fine.
762
00:29:25,867 --> 00:29:27,367
[upbeat music playing]
763
00:29:27,367 --> 00:29:28,467
[Garrett]
The house was spared,
764
00:29:28,467 --> 00:29:29,600
but that still put us back
a couple weeks.
765
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,200
All the other guys were busy
working on immediate projects
766
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,000
they had, whether it be
landfilling their house,
767
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,867
or other, you know,
people without power.
768
00:29:36,867 --> 00:29:38,166
[Ally] So now that
the hurricane's gone
769
00:29:38,166 --> 00:29:39,867
and we're moving
and grooving again,
770
00:29:39,867 --> 00:29:42,967
I'm excited because we
have the exterior done.
771
00:29:42,967 --> 00:29:44,567
And now we can move
onto the interior,
772
00:29:44,567 --> 00:29:47,266
which is my favorite part.
773
00:29:47,266 --> 00:29:48,700
[Garrett] Ally's gonna
make the house a home.
774
00:29:48,700 --> 00:29:51,200
She's gonna decorate,
bring in plates,
775
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,634
couches, rugs,
all the good stuff.
776
00:29:56,867 --> 00:29:58,567
The decorating's
definitely a lot more fun
777
00:29:58,567 --> 00:30:00,367
than the nail gun,
778
00:30:00,367 --> 00:30:03,166
so I'm excited
to kind of make the space
779
00:30:03,166 --> 00:30:05,467
come together,
make it more homey,
780
00:30:05,467 --> 00:30:09,266
and to see what
it's gonna look like in here.
781
00:30:11,300 --> 00:30:12,166
[grunts]
782
00:30:15,266 --> 00:30:16,934
This is a sexy couch.
783
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:19,367
What do you think?
784
00:30:19,367 --> 00:30:20,667
[sighs]
785
00:30:20,667 --> 00:30:22,066
It'll work.
786
00:30:23,967 --> 00:30:25,166
I like it.
787
00:30:25,166 --> 00:30:26,867
[chuckles]
788
00:30:26,867 --> 00:30:29,367
The loft is my
favorite place in the house.
789
00:30:29,367 --> 00:30:31,100
We're gonna have fun
movie nights
790
00:30:31,100 --> 00:30:32,667
with a comfortable couch.
791
00:30:32,667 --> 00:30:34,600
Garrett has his desk up
there, so he'll be
792
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,066
more peace of mind
with all the beautiful views
793
00:30:37,066 --> 00:30:38,100
that are out there.
794
00:30:38,100 --> 00:30:40,166
Lots of light and just
really a peaceful place
795
00:30:40,166 --> 00:30:41,367
to get things done.
796
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,100
[sighs]
797
00:30:45,100 --> 00:30:46,367
How do you feel?
798
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:49,867
Stressed already.
799
00:30:49,867 --> 00:30:51,166
Just like I'm at work.
800
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,000
We finally are ready
to finish up the kitchen.
801
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,667
We're gonna start with
the shelves for our plates,
802
00:31:00,667 --> 00:31:02,100
the knick-knacks,
and cups and stuff,
803
00:31:02,100 --> 00:31:04,066
then we're gonna move
onto the countertops.
804
00:31:04,066 --> 00:31:06,600
I think that we should do
two on top of one another
805
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:07,767
like bam, bam,
806
00:31:07,767 --> 00:31:10,800
but in the center
kinda of the window.
807
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,200
You know what I'm saying?
808
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:13,767
In the... Right here?
809
00:31:13,767 --> 00:31:15,000
[Ally] No, no, no.
810
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,600
-Like...
-Oh, yeah. Okay.
811
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,266
Bam. Bam.
812
00:31:18,266 --> 00:31:19,400
-You got that?
-Mmm-hmm.
813
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,000
All right. Execute.
814
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,767
[drill whirring]
815
00:31:25,100 --> 00:31:26,033
All right.
816
00:31:27,867 --> 00:31:29,233
[Ally] Let's see
what that looks like.
817
00:31:34,567 --> 00:31:36,767
Yeah. Okay.
818
00:31:36,767 --> 00:31:38,500
Now, let's go get
the counter tops and see how
819
00:31:38,500 --> 00:31:40,166
it looks all together,
because I think they'll look
820
00:31:40,166 --> 00:31:41,400
really good with the shelves.
821
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:42,867
Headed in.
822
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,166
This looks like it'll go...
823
00:31:46,166 --> 00:31:48,200
It's a longer piece.
824
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:49,500
-[Garrett] Watch your fingers.
-Yeah.
825
00:31:49,500 --> 00:31:51,834
Why don't you push that
in from your side?
826
00:31:54,166 --> 00:31:55,000
Bam.
827
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,867
I wanna lie it flat here.
828
00:31:56,867 --> 00:32:00,100
But we're gonna have
to eventually put some...
829
00:32:00,100 --> 00:32:01,300
Oh, wow.
830
00:32:01,300 --> 00:32:03,300
There's gonna be
a lot of cutting.
831
00:32:03,300 --> 00:32:04,767
All righty.
832
00:32:04,767 --> 00:32:06,600
So we have these
beautiful countertops
833
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,467
but we go to put
the second one in place
834
00:32:08,467 --> 00:32:11,266
and it's gonna be
kind of a puzzle effect,
835
00:32:11,266 --> 00:32:14,100
so I'm gonna rely on
Garrett to cut those for me,
836
00:32:14,100 --> 00:32:17,467
and to get them to fit like we
need them to in our kitchen.
837
00:32:17,467 --> 00:32:18,667
[saw buzzing]
838
00:32:18,667 --> 00:32:20,967
[upbeat music playing]
839
00:32:26,100 --> 00:32:27,367
[Ally] Yay.
840
00:32:27,367 --> 00:32:29,166
Let's see if it fits.
841
00:32:32,667 --> 00:32:34,233
Slide it in there, babe.
842
00:32:36,166 --> 00:32:37,900
Look at that.
843
00:32:37,900 --> 00:32:39,000
Oh, yeah.
844
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,166
-Like butter.
-Woo!
845
00:32:42,166 --> 00:32:43,667
[Garrett] Those are nice.
846
00:32:43,667 --> 00:32:45,634
[Ally] All right.
We gotta do this half now.
847
00:32:50,367 --> 00:32:51,767
Wow.
848
00:32:51,767 --> 00:32:52,934
Is it gonna fit?
849
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:55,667
[Ally] Let's see it,
let's see it.
850
00:32:56,300 --> 00:32:57,367
[Garrett] Cinderella fit.
851
00:32:57,367 --> 00:32:58,367
Amazing.
852
00:32:58,367 --> 00:32:59,133
[Garrett] All right.
853
00:32:59,133 --> 00:33:00,767
Let's just...
Let's keep on with it.
854
00:33:00,767 --> 00:33:01,934
Rock and roll.
855
00:33:05,300 --> 00:33:06,100
Let's see it.
856
00:33:06,100 --> 00:33:07,300
It's right!
857
00:33:07,300 --> 00:33:09,000
-The missing link.
-[Ally] Yup.
858
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,266
Awesome, babe.
859
00:33:10,266 --> 00:33:11,467
We got it figured out.
860
00:33:11,467 --> 00:33:13,300
We cut them up,
got them to fit
861
00:33:13,300 --> 00:33:14,800
in the places we need to,
862
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,767
and I think they look amazing.
863
00:33:17,900 --> 00:33:19,400
[soft upbeat music playing]
864
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,066
[Ally] Garrett's mom
is coming in a couple days.
865
00:33:21,066 --> 00:33:22,567
I wanna get the house ready
866
00:33:22,567 --> 00:33:24,767
because her approval
is everything.
867
00:33:24,767 --> 00:33:27,266
We're gonna be working round
the clock until she gets here.
868
00:33:27,266 --> 00:33:28,367
Go that way.
869
00:33:28,367 --> 00:33:29,634
Do it like this.
870
00:33:33,667 --> 00:33:34,667
All right.
871
00:33:34,667 --> 00:33:37,567
[Garrett] I can't wait
to have some dinner.
872
00:33:37,567 --> 00:33:38,467
[Ally] Yup.
873
00:33:38,467 --> 00:33:40,533
We have a long way to go.
874
00:33:42,467 --> 00:33:43,367
Woo.
875
00:33:43,367 --> 00:33:44,967
Two on each side.
876
00:33:45,467 --> 00:33:46,700
You sure?
877
00:33:46,700 --> 00:33:48,066
-There's four...
There's four corners.
-Two... Yeah, yup, yup.
878
00:33:48,066 --> 00:33:51,567
I wanna face you
when I'm eating with you.
879
00:33:55,867 --> 00:33:57,767
How do you feel, babe?
880
00:33:57,767 --> 00:33:59,734
[Garrett] I feel hungry.
What's for supper?
881
00:34:05,567 --> 00:34:07,400
[Ally] So I want a lot
of plants in this house
882
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,900
because we need some
color in this house.
883
00:34:10,900 --> 00:34:14,767
We started out very dark,
very black decorations,
884
00:34:14,767 --> 00:34:16,867
but I'm thinking we need
to lighten it up,
885
00:34:16,867 --> 00:34:18,467
so I'm thinking
lots of plants,
886
00:34:18,467 --> 00:34:20,934
lots of greenery
in this house.
887
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,266
[Garrett] We're gonna have
to finish all the touches
888
00:34:24,266 --> 00:34:25,767
on the inside,
whether it be pictures
889
00:34:25,767 --> 00:34:28,266
or decorations to get
this build done on time,
890
00:34:28,266 --> 00:34:31,266
and really hope my mom
likes all the work we've done.
891
00:34:31,266 --> 00:34:33,567
[Ally] Want them
facing one another?
892
00:34:33,567 --> 00:34:36,033
[Garrett] Yeah,
maybe a little catty-corner.
893
00:34:38,066 --> 00:34:39,233
Nice.
894
00:34:42,700 --> 00:34:44,266
I think this will work.
895
00:34:53,066 --> 00:34:54,033
[soft music playing]
896
00:34:54,033 --> 00:34:56,767
[Ally] It feels so amazing
to finally be done
897
00:34:56,767 --> 00:34:58,166
with this gorgeous build.
898
00:34:58,166 --> 00:35:00,900
I love the house,
exactly what we wanted
899
00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:04,000
kind of a Bohemian,
kind of country cabin feel.
900
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,000
I love it.
901
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:05,967
[Garrett] It is such a relief.
902
00:35:05,967 --> 00:35:08,667
Luckily, I had Ally
and she's been a big help.
903
00:35:08,667 --> 00:35:09,700
I couldn't have done it
without her.
904
00:35:09,700 --> 00:35:11,133
You're welcome.
905
00:35:12,700 --> 00:35:15,166
So we wanted to have the
build done in four months.
906
00:35:15,166 --> 00:35:17,867
It wound up being more
like seven months.
907
00:35:18,567 --> 00:35:20,033
[upbeat music playing]
908
00:35:22,767 --> 00:35:24,367
[Ally] Originally, we wanted
to build this house
909
00:35:24,367 --> 00:35:26,000
for $130,000.
910
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,100
But because we went
over our timeline,
911
00:35:28,100 --> 00:35:29,800
the materials took a little
too long to get in,
912
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,166
it wound up
being around $140,000.
913
00:35:33,166 --> 00:35:34,567
[Garrett]
So my mom's coming by today
914
00:35:34,567 --> 00:35:36,266
to see the finished product
of the build,
915
00:35:36,266 --> 00:35:37,567
and we're super
excited to show her
916
00:35:37,567 --> 00:35:38,567
what we've accomplished.
917
00:35:38,567 --> 00:35:40,066
[woman] I love it.
918
00:35:40,066 --> 00:35:41,266
[Ally] Thanks for coming.
919
00:35:41,266 --> 00:35:42,567
[Garrett]
We've been working hard.
920
00:35:42,567 --> 00:35:44,100
[woman] Those windows
are beautiful.
921
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:45,367
[Garrett] They turned
out really good.
922
00:35:45,367 --> 00:35:48,000
I love the porch
and the way you got it set up,
923
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,467
the rocking chairs,
and everything.
924
00:35:49,467 --> 00:35:50,967
[Ally] It's my favorite part.
925
00:35:50,967 --> 00:35:54,000
I cannot wait to sit
out on that porch,
926
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,867
look at the sunset,
you can come over.
927
00:35:56,867 --> 00:35:58,300
And just enjoy the afternoon.
928
00:35:58,300 --> 00:36:00,100
[Garrett]
That's exactly right.
929
00:36:00,100 --> 00:36:01,467
[woman] And I love the color.
930
00:36:01,467 --> 00:36:03,900
Because I was thinking,
like, real, real black.
931
00:36:03,900 --> 00:36:05,000
But it's not.
932
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,567
[Ally] With all the light,
it brightens it up.
933
00:36:07,567 --> 00:36:09,967
So come on in,
let us show you the house.
934
00:36:09,967 --> 00:36:10,867
[woman] Okay.
935
00:36:12,066 --> 00:36:13,367
-[Ally] All right.
-[Garrett] Here it is.
936
00:36:13,367 --> 00:36:14,533
[Ally] What do you think?
937
00:36:15,100 --> 00:36:17,967
Oh, I love it.
It is beautiful.
938
00:36:17,967 --> 00:36:19,900
You're gonna enjoy all
this natural light.
939
00:36:19,900 --> 00:36:21,967
-Beautiful.
-[Ally] Oh, I'm glad
you like it
940
00:36:21,967 --> 00:36:23,400
because we had
to have these cut
941
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,300
specifically
to these measurements.
942
00:36:25,300 --> 00:36:26,967
[woman] Did a wonderful job.
943
00:36:26,967 --> 00:36:29,767
May even help with just
keeping it warm in here.
944
00:36:29,767 --> 00:36:31,000
-[Garrett] Yeah.
-[woman] The sunlight.
945
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,066
[Garrett] I'm glad we
could light up your world.
946
00:36:32,066 --> 00:36:32,900
It was a lot of work.
947
00:36:32,900 --> 00:36:34,266
[woman laughs]
948
00:36:35,700 --> 00:36:37,166
What do you think
about the kitchen?
949
00:36:37,166 --> 00:36:38,900
[woman] Oh, I love it.
950
00:36:38,900 --> 00:36:41,667
I love the countertops,
I love the bars here,
951
00:36:41,667 --> 00:36:44,667
because you can actually
sit here while somebody cooks,
952
00:36:44,667 --> 00:36:46,867
and you can talk
and I love the way
953
00:36:46,867 --> 00:36:48,767
you got your window there,
so we can look out
954
00:36:48,767 --> 00:36:50,600
when we're standing
at the sink.
955
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,367
[Ally] There's more
natural light than
is already in here.
956
00:36:53,367 --> 00:36:55,333
[upbeat music playing]
957
00:36:58,567 --> 00:37:01,900
So what are you gonna
do for electricity and water?
958
00:37:01,900 --> 00:37:03,667
[Garrett] So for power,
we have solar panels.
959
00:37:03,667 --> 00:37:05,166
And for water, we have a well.
960
00:37:05,166 --> 00:37:06,300
Hey, that sounds good.
961
00:37:06,300 --> 00:37:07,667
[Ally] I'm gonna need
you to come over
962
00:37:07,667 --> 00:37:09,166
-and show me how to cook.
-[woman laughs]
963
00:37:09,166 --> 00:37:11,266
[Ally] And you can sit right
here and boss me around
964
00:37:11,266 --> 00:37:12,500
in my own kitchen.
965
00:37:12,500 --> 00:37:13,700
I'll be glad to help you.
966
00:37:13,700 --> 00:37:15,367
[Ally] All right. [laughs]
967
00:37:15,367 --> 00:37:16,467
[Garrett] So you ready
to see the bedroom?
968
00:37:16,467 --> 00:37:17,367
[woman] Yes.
969
00:37:19,467 --> 00:37:21,100
Oh, I love it.
970
00:37:21,100 --> 00:37:23,166
This is nice.
You got more room in here
971
00:37:23,166 --> 00:37:24,867
-than I thought you would.
-[Ally] Yeah.
972
00:37:24,867 --> 00:37:26,600
-That's what I thought.
-We have way more room than
we thought we would,
973
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:27,867
-so.
-[woman laughs]
974
00:37:27,867 --> 00:37:29,266
I love your painting.
975
00:37:29,266 --> 00:37:31,166
[Ally] My cousin,
Jordan Roster,
976
00:37:31,166 --> 00:37:32,867
I just told her do
whatever she wanted.
977
00:37:32,867 --> 00:37:34,467
And they turned
out really well.
978
00:37:34,467 --> 00:37:35,634
[woman] Yes, very nice.
979
00:37:35,634 --> 00:37:38,266
[Garrett] My favorite thing
about the room is the views.
980
00:37:38,266 --> 00:37:40,166
We're gonna wake up,
we have the fields,
981
00:37:40,166 --> 00:37:42,367
all the oak trees
are opened up back there.
982
00:37:42,367 --> 00:37:43,667
[woman] Very nice.
983
00:37:46,767 --> 00:37:49,367
[Ally] What do you think
about the bathroom?
984
00:37:49,367 --> 00:37:50,867
[woman]
I love the countertops.
985
00:37:50,867 --> 00:37:52,367
That is just gorgeous.
986
00:37:52,367 --> 00:37:54,400
It goes really well
with your cabinets.
987
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:55,767
I really do like it.
988
00:37:55,767 --> 00:37:57,567
The toilet runs on septic.
989
00:37:57,567 --> 00:37:59,500
Just the toilet on septic?
Okay.
990
00:37:59,500 --> 00:38:00,467
[Garrett] Yup.
991
00:38:00,467 --> 00:38:01,700
[Ally] So this is the loft.
992
00:38:01,700 --> 00:38:03,867
Oh, I love this.
993
00:38:03,867 --> 00:38:05,567
[Ally] I just love
how all the natural light
994
00:38:05,567 --> 00:38:08,700
from the windows
radiates right through.
995
00:38:08,700 --> 00:38:10,767
It meets more open spaces.
996
00:38:10,767 --> 00:38:13,266
[Garrett] Besides the deck,
I guess for me,
997
00:38:13,266 --> 00:38:14,867
my other favorite part
is gonna be
998
00:38:14,867 --> 00:38:16,367
-my little office area.
-Right.
999
00:38:16,367 --> 00:38:19,266
I'm gonna have great views,
tons of light, fresh air.
1000
00:38:19,266 --> 00:38:21,000
I can leave
all the doors open
1001
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,467
and it's gonna be
really nice...
1002
00:38:22,467 --> 00:38:24,266
-[woman] Right, right.
-...to have
a warm space up here.
1003
00:38:24,266 --> 00:38:25,767
I like that.
1004
00:38:25,767 --> 00:38:27,567
[Garrett] Either way you look,
you've got a view.
1005
00:38:27,567 --> 00:38:29,100
[woman] That's right.
1006
00:38:29,100 --> 00:38:32,000
I know it was a little scary
coming up the stairs,
1007
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,100
so eventually we're gonna
put in railings,
1008
00:38:35,100 --> 00:38:38,266
like, some nice iron rods,
but that'll be in the future.
1009
00:38:38,266 --> 00:38:40,700
Yes, I think you most
definitely are wanting them.
1010
00:38:40,700 --> 00:38:42,000
Yeah.
1011
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,166
[woman]
I think you'll enjoy it.
1012
00:38:43,166 --> 00:38:44,767
It'll be peaceful up here.
1013
00:38:44,767 --> 00:38:46,500
But I love
that porch out there.
1014
00:38:46,500 --> 00:38:47,333
[Ally] Yeah.
1015
00:38:47,333 --> 00:38:49,166
[Garrett] The deck/porch
is my favorite.
1016
00:38:49,166 --> 00:38:50,066
[Ally] Yeah.
1017
00:38:50,567 --> 00:38:51,567
You get the fresh air.
1018
00:38:51,567 --> 00:38:53,700
-[woman] I love this.
-[Garrett] How is the view?
1019
00:38:53,700 --> 00:38:55,266
[woman] It is beautiful.
1020
00:38:55,266 --> 00:38:56,867
[Garrett] The best part
of this deck is
1021
00:38:56,867 --> 00:38:58,367
it doesn't matter what
kinda hunting you're doing,
1022
00:38:58,367 --> 00:39:00,367
whether it's deer or beer,
we can do it all up here.
1023
00:39:00,367 --> 00:39:01,266
-Yeah.
-Right.
1024
00:39:01,266 --> 00:39:03,000
You can look at
all the nature from here.
1025
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,266
It'll be really nice.
1026
00:39:04,266 --> 00:39:06,000
[Ally] Just no bear, please.
1027
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,500
Keep the bear away.
1028
00:39:07,500 --> 00:39:08,867
-[woman] Yup.
-Yeah, I'm very scared.
1029
00:39:08,867 --> 00:39:10,467
[woman] Yup.
1030
00:39:10,467 --> 00:39:11,767
[Garrett]
Would you move in tomorrow?
1031
00:39:11,767 --> 00:39:13,066
[woman] Yes. Matter of fact,
1032
00:39:13,066 --> 00:39:14,867
if you're ever gone,
I may come down here
1033
00:39:14,867 --> 00:39:16,600
and stay and leave
your daddy at the house.
1034
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,066
-[Garrett] Okay.
-[woman] This would be
my getaway place.
1035
00:39:19,066 --> 00:39:20,033
I love it.
1036
00:39:20,033 --> 00:39:22,100
Garrett, you and Ally have
done a wonderful job.
1037
00:39:22,100 --> 00:39:23,066
I'm proud of you.
1038
00:39:23,066 --> 00:39:25,000
[Garrett] Thanks, mom.
It's been a lot of work.
1039
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,567
We're glad you could
come over today
1040
00:39:26,567 --> 00:39:28,867
and we could show you
the accomplishment.
1041
00:39:28,867 --> 00:39:30,467
[woman] You've done
a real great job.
1042
00:39:30,467 --> 00:39:32,500
[Ally] Building off the grid
was definitely worth it.
1043
00:39:32,500 --> 00:39:34,000
We had weather challenges,
1044
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,900
we had the materials
challenges,
1045
00:39:35,900 --> 00:39:38,000
but overall it's amazing.
1046
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,367
[Garrett] We're just
learning new things,
1047
00:39:39,367 --> 00:39:40,967
it's been such a journey,
1048
00:39:40,967 --> 00:39:42,900
but we are glad
that the house turned out
1049
00:39:42,900 --> 00:39:45,000
exactly like we wanted,
and maybe a little more.
1050
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,700
How nice is it
to finally enjoy all
1051
00:39:46,700 --> 00:39:47,967
the fruits of our labors?
1052
00:39:47,967 --> 00:39:48,967
[Ally] I love it.
1053
00:39:48,967 --> 00:39:49,767
Cheers to that.
1054
00:39:49,767 --> 00:39:50,667
-Cheers.
