1
00:00:00,933 --> 00:00:02,134
[Wes] We're gonna
be building a river cabin.
2
00:00:02,136 --> 00:00:04,069
This is where I grew up!
3
00:00:04,071 --> 00:00:05,604
[man] Push! Push! Push! Push!
4
00:00:05,606 --> 00:00:06,671
[people shouting]
5
00:00:06,673 --> 00:00:08,974
[Lindsay] It's our little
piece of paradise.
6
00:00:08,976 --> 00:00:11,944
Woo! Now it's just
good old fashioned man power.
7
00:00:11,946 --> 00:00:13,112
[man] 1, 2, 3!
8
00:00:14,014 --> 00:00:14,913
[Wes yelling]
9
00:00:14,915 --> 00:00:18,083
Leave it to me
to find the one nail.
10
00:00:18,085 --> 00:00:20,352
I'm not really sure
if Wes will survive this.
11
00:00:20,354 --> 00:00:22,154
Oh, God! Wes! Wes!
12
00:00:22,989 --> 00:00:24,289
[Lindsay] That's our
only barrel gone.
13
00:00:24,291 --> 00:00:25,724
[Wes] Yeah, she gone.
14
00:00:25,726 --> 00:00:27,126
This is going
to complicate things.
15
00:00:27,128 --> 00:00:29,828
We are on a tight timeline.
16
00:00:29,830 --> 00:00:30,863
Crew's not here.
17
00:00:30,865 --> 00:00:32,131
This is ridiculous.
18
00:00:33,166 --> 00:00:34,366
[yells] I'm locked up!
19
00:00:35,001 --> 00:00:36,168
[groaning]
20
00:00:36,170 --> 00:00:37,136
I think we're done.
21
00:00:37,138 --> 00:00:38,303
Grab it, Lindsay!
22
00:00:38,805 --> 00:00:39,405
Oh, God!
23
00:00:39,407 --> 00:00:42,041
This is not fun.
24
00:00:42,043 --> 00:00:45,210
[Wes] We're on time crunch and
the proverbial crap has hit the fan.
25
00:00:45,212 --> 00:00:46,612
[man] You're good,
just like that.
26
00:00:46,614 --> 00:00:48,313
[Wes groans] Oh, no!
27
00:00:49,149 --> 00:00:52,217
[narrator] Are you ready
to go off the grid?
28
00:00:58,958 --> 00:01:01,427
[Wes] Be careful stepping
through here. It's slick.
29
00:01:02,328 --> 00:01:04,763
Don't fall in the river.
30
00:01:04,765 --> 00:01:07,433
So right up here, on the top of
the hill, this is where we're going.
31
00:01:09,169 --> 00:01:11,570
- [Wes] It's a little steep through here.
- [Lindsay] Got it?
32
00:01:11,572 --> 00:01:14,706
[Eva] I saw a purple
butterfly. [chuckles]
33
00:01:14,708 --> 00:01:17,876
We've been fortunate
to acquire this land up here,
34
00:01:17,878 --> 00:01:20,112
we got about
three and a half acres,
35
00:01:20,114 --> 00:01:21,914
kinda out in
the middle of nowhere.
36
00:01:21,916 --> 00:01:23,449
This is where I grew up,
37
00:01:23,451 --> 00:01:25,984
and this is kinda where
I played as a kid,
38
00:01:25,986 --> 00:01:27,152
hanging out on this river.
39
00:01:27,154 --> 00:01:29,421
- I'm Lindsay.
- And I'm Wes.
40
00:01:29,423 --> 00:01:32,858
[Lindsay] And we are building our
off-the-grid river cabin on the Ocoee river.
41
00:01:32,860 --> 00:01:35,861
The build site is located
in Benton, Tennessee,
42
00:01:35,863 --> 00:01:38,063
one hour of East of Chattanooga.
43
00:01:38,298 --> 00:01:39,898
[Lindsay] This is it, guys!
44
00:01:39,900 --> 00:01:42,067
[Wes] So look, sis, here you go!
45
00:01:42,368 --> 00:01:44,369
- [Eva cheering]
- [Wes chuckling]
46
00:01:44,371 --> 00:01:47,840
- [Wes] Facing the river, so you got that nice view.
- [Lindsay] Look at the view.
47
00:01:47,842 --> 00:01:50,943
I think it's really pretty 'cause
then I can go swimming in it.
48
00:01:50,945 --> 00:01:52,711
- That's right.
- I know, it's relaxing.
49
00:01:52,713 --> 00:01:56,615
[Wes] We got to stay back, 'cause as you
can see some of these banks are eroded,
50
00:01:56,617 --> 00:02:00,052
I wanna make sure we get
good solid ground to build on,
51
00:02:00,054 --> 00:02:02,855
so we'll be able to see
the river from the house,
52
00:02:02,857 --> 00:02:04,256
- how cool will that be?
- [Eva] Cool!
53
00:02:05,024 --> 00:02:07,059
[Lindsay] It's our
little piece of paradise.
54
00:02:07,061 --> 00:02:09,294
It's very quiet and peaceful.
55
00:02:11,064 --> 00:02:12,698
[Wes] Last year at Easter,
56
00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:16,535
our home in Chattanooga
was destroyed by a tornado.
57
00:02:16,537 --> 00:02:19,238
We were without power
for a couple of weeks.
58
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,208
So it really reset us and
re-centered us as a family.
59
00:02:23,210 --> 00:02:24,743
Work is busy, school's busy,
60
00:02:24,745 --> 00:02:27,179
and it just really
brought us together,
61
00:02:27,181 --> 00:02:29,615
and so it was important for us
to build somewhere
62
00:02:29,617 --> 00:02:34,119
where our children and us could have the
opportunity to continue to grow together.
63
00:02:35,822 --> 00:02:37,589
The challenges with building
on the Ocoee river
64
00:02:37,591 --> 00:02:39,725
are the river itself.
65
00:02:39,727 --> 00:02:42,427
The river gets very, very
high, it can sometimes flood.
66
00:02:42,429 --> 00:02:43,829
How tall is it gonna be?
67
00:02:43,831 --> 00:02:45,831
So because of the river, we're
going to have to build it up,
68
00:02:45,833 --> 00:02:49,668
probably eight feet off the
ground, so even this is like,
69
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:52,204
as high as I can reach
will be where our feet are.
70
00:02:52,206 --> 00:02:54,640
So do you think that's going
to be too high, sis?
71
00:02:54,642 --> 00:02:56,108
- No.
- [chuckles]
72
00:02:56,110 --> 00:02:57,943
[Lindsay] What are
we gonna put under it?
73
00:02:58,578 --> 00:03:01,413
- A movie theatre.
- [chuckling]
74
00:03:01,415 --> 00:03:04,516
- I'm thinking big.
- [Wes] Oh, we know.
75
00:03:04,518 --> 00:03:06,652
[Wes] We're just excited
to be sharing the property
76
00:03:06,654 --> 00:03:09,054
with our
seven-year-old daughter, Eva.
77
00:03:10,657 --> 00:03:12,224
So this is where it's
going to be. [chuckles]
78
00:03:12,226 --> 00:03:13,859
- [Lindsay] Excited?
- [Eva] Yeah.
79
00:03:13,861 --> 00:03:16,695
- So do you wanna measure it out, kinda put some flags?
- Me.
80
00:03:16,697 --> 00:03:17,729
- See what it looks like.
- I'll put the flags in.
81
00:03:17,731 --> 00:03:20,465
- All right. [chuckles]
- I like flags.
82
00:03:20,467 --> 00:03:23,802
[Wes] Eva will be a lot of
help, um, she'll be in the river,
83
00:03:23,804 --> 00:03:27,039
uh, she'll be trouncing
through the worksite,
84
00:03:27,041 --> 00:03:29,975
probably digging holes
where we don't need holes,
85
00:03:29,977 --> 00:03:32,177
covering the holes
that we've dug,
86
00:03:32,179 --> 00:03:34,613
um, and Eva will just
boss everyone around.
87
00:03:34,615 --> 00:03:35,981
[chuckles]
88
00:03:36,983 --> 00:03:39,117
- Hold that real tight, sis.
- Hold it!
89
00:03:40,954 --> 00:03:43,622
[Wes] I got 24... 30...
90
00:03:43,624 --> 00:03:46,225
Here we are! Put a flag there.
91
00:03:47,493 --> 00:03:49,461
All right, sis,
hold that one more second.
92
00:03:49,463 --> 00:03:51,930
We're going to come up here,
we're going to put a flag up here.
93
00:03:51,932 --> 00:03:54,399
Like right about here, roughly.
94
00:03:54,401 --> 00:03:56,635
All right, so I'll show
you guys where we're at.
95
00:03:56,637 --> 00:03:59,938
This is gonna be where me and
mommy's bedroom is right here,
96
00:03:59,940 --> 00:04:04,643
with a nice big window
to look out on the water,
97
00:04:04,645 --> 00:04:07,279
maybe we'll let you come by
and hang out in there.
98
00:04:07,281 --> 00:04:08,981
- [Wes laughing]
- You know the answer to that.
99
00:04:08,983 --> 00:04:10,315
[laughs]
100
00:04:16,756 --> 00:04:18,991
[Wes] We're building
a river cabin on stilts,
101
00:04:18,993 --> 00:04:22,127
with a greenhouse
and a big front porch,
102
00:04:22,129 --> 00:04:24,162
so we can take in all the views.
103
00:04:24,164 --> 00:04:27,532
When you walk in, you'll come into
the great room, which has our kitchen
104
00:04:27,534 --> 00:04:28,767
and living area,
105
00:04:28,769 --> 00:04:31,203
to the right will be
the full bathroom,
106
00:04:31,205 --> 00:04:33,739
in the main room we have
a neat feature,
107
00:04:33,741 --> 00:04:35,641
a loft bed for Eva,
108
00:04:35,643 --> 00:04:38,977
and then we also have a spare
room for friends and family.
109
00:04:39,812 --> 00:04:42,080
Some of our off-grid feature are
110
00:04:42,082 --> 00:04:45,450
a water pump that will
pump water from the creek,
111
00:04:45,452 --> 00:04:47,653
through a filtration system
for the house,
112
00:04:47,655 --> 00:04:49,454
we have a composting toilet,
113
00:04:49,456 --> 00:04:53,759
and we have 12 solar panels
that will power the house.
114
00:04:53,761 --> 00:04:57,529
[Lindsay] I'm a little nervous because
we only have six weeks to do this build.
115
00:04:57,531 --> 00:04:59,698
We also have to stay within
a budget of 50,000
116
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:03,101
and I tend to like
to change things sometimes.
117
00:05:03,103 --> 00:05:04,636
But I think it's going
to be worth it in the end.
118
00:05:04,638 --> 00:05:07,172
[Wes] So yeah!
Say go Team Bright!
119
00:05:07,174 --> 00:05:09,241
- [Lindsay] Go Team Bright!
- [Wes] Yeah!
120
00:05:15,782 --> 00:05:17,649
[Wes] We're out here,
ready to get started,
121
00:05:17,651 --> 00:05:20,619
our first step is we've
got to dig some holes
122
00:05:20,621 --> 00:05:24,222
to put our post in to get
our house up off the ground.
123
00:05:24,924 --> 00:05:26,425
We're gonna start
with this one here.
124
00:05:26,427 --> 00:05:28,694
- That's fine, mate.
- Yeah!
125
00:05:28,696 --> 00:05:32,130
We get our buddy Warren
on the skid steer with an auger,
126
00:05:32,132 --> 00:05:35,133
digging these holes so we
don't have to do it by hand.
127
00:05:36,803 --> 00:05:37,636
[Wes] Dig deep!
128
00:05:37,638 --> 00:05:39,004
[chuckles]
129
00:05:39,939 --> 00:05:42,307
- [Lindsay] We are breaking ground!
- Yay!
130
00:05:44,043 --> 00:05:45,610
[Wes] It feels great
to actually move some dirt,
131
00:05:45,612 --> 00:05:48,880
we've talked about this for a long
time, it's been a long time coming,
132
00:05:48,882 --> 00:05:52,250
we're excited to be
actually seeing some progress.
133
00:05:52,252 --> 00:05:53,719
We have 12 holes to dig,
134
00:05:53,721 --> 00:05:56,054
we're gonna use a 12-inch bit,
135
00:05:56,056 --> 00:05:58,090
try to dig about
three feet down.
136
00:06:03,796 --> 00:06:05,330
Last hole, let's go!
137
00:06:06,632 --> 00:06:07,833
[Lindsay whooping]
138
00:06:07,835 --> 00:06:09,601
That's a deep hole right there.
139
00:06:09,603 --> 00:06:12,971
Good job, Warren!
Let's put these posts in.
140
00:06:13,973 --> 00:06:16,808
[Lindsay] Now that the holes
are dug, we have to transport
141
00:06:16,810 --> 00:06:19,411
these super heavy poles
to the site.
142
00:06:19,413 --> 00:06:23,348
The access to our property is
gonna be one of our challenges.
143
00:06:25,017 --> 00:06:26,585
[Wes] We really can't get
trucks close to the build site,
144
00:06:26,587 --> 00:06:30,789
so we're just going to have them
drop off the materials where they can.
145
00:06:30,791 --> 00:06:34,292
And then we'll have to trek things
in the rest of the way by hand.
146
00:06:34,994 --> 00:06:37,896
All right, guys,
so we gotta get these poles
147
00:06:37,898 --> 00:06:39,765
right down there to the holes.
148
00:06:39,767 --> 00:06:41,600
It's about 300 pounds
each, so...
149
00:06:41,602 --> 00:06:43,535
I'mma need y'all to man up.
150
00:06:43,537 --> 00:06:47,372
I'll probably carry the most of the
load 'cause I'm the strongest one here.
151
00:06:47,374 --> 00:06:50,442
I'll stay in the middle, so I
don't really have to do anything.
152
00:06:50,444 --> 00:06:52,878
We've been good friends for
a long time with a lot of people,
153
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,014
so we're calling in every favor.
154
00:06:56,016 --> 00:06:57,783
[man straining] This seems
a little uneven.
155
00:06:57,785 --> 00:06:59,251
[grunts]
156
00:07:02,555 --> 00:07:04,456
- Sorry about your shoe.
- Oh, you're all right!
157
00:07:06,058 --> 00:07:08,226
[man] Try and get in
the same stepping pattern.
158
00:07:08,961 --> 00:07:10,829
[Wes] All right.
Set your end down first.
159
00:07:10,831 --> 00:07:12,364
Set your end there.
160
00:07:12,799 --> 00:07:14,166
Everybody out?
161
00:07:14,168 --> 00:07:15,267
[man] I got it!
I got it! I got it!
162
00:07:15,435 --> 00:07:16,168
[thuds]
163
00:07:16,170 --> 00:07:16,735
[cheers]
164
00:07:16,737 --> 00:07:18,537
- Boom!
- Go, team!
165
00:07:18,539 --> 00:07:24,042
We've got about a quarter mile at
least toting these 12 foot heavy posts.
166
00:07:24,044 --> 00:07:26,878
But we've got some of the
strongest guys in East Tennessee
167
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,980
to help carry 'em to our site.
168
00:07:28,982 --> 00:07:32,083
[Wes] Woo!
One more down! Yay!
169
00:07:34,687 --> 00:07:36,955
Atta babe!
[sighs]
170
00:07:36,957 --> 00:07:38,089
- Ready? Going down.
- All right.
171
00:07:38,091 --> 00:07:39,357
Going down.
172
00:07:42,462 --> 00:07:43,595
[cheers] Oh, my gosh!
173
00:07:43,597 --> 00:07:45,130
We did it!
174
00:07:46,466 --> 00:07:49,267
We got all the poles here, it's
time to put 'em in the ground.
175
00:07:49,269 --> 00:07:50,335
Y'all ready?
176
00:07:50,337 --> 00:07:51,303
Great.
177
00:07:56,042 --> 00:07:56,875
1, 2, 3.
178
00:07:56,877 --> 00:07:58,276
[grunts]
179
00:08:00,847 --> 00:08:03,715
[Wes] Now it's just
good old fashioned man power,
180
00:08:03,717 --> 00:08:05,917
getting them actually
in the hole, raising them up,
181
00:08:05,919 --> 00:08:07,686
and ready to go from there.
182
00:08:07,688 --> 00:08:08,787
All right stop!
I'm leveled, go left.
183
00:08:08,789 --> 00:08:10,956
Looks perfectly square.
184
00:08:17,463 --> 00:08:19,931
[Lindsay] We were just cruising
along, everything was great,
185
00:08:19,933 --> 00:08:22,100
and pole number four...
186
00:08:22,102 --> 00:08:23,401
All right, let's do this,
come on guys!
187
00:08:24,136 --> 00:08:25,437
2, 3, go!
188
00:08:25,938 --> 00:08:28,273
Push! Push! Push! Push!
189
00:08:28,275 --> 00:08:29,741
[Lindsay] You're too far.
190
00:08:29,743 --> 00:08:30,609
Push! Push!
191
00:08:30,611 --> 00:08:32,177
[all shouting] Whoa!
192
00:08:40,019 --> 00:08:41,887
[Lindsay] So we carried
all 12 poles
193
00:08:41,889 --> 00:08:43,989
over here to the holes...
194
00:08:46,893 --> 00:08:49,160
We're just cruising along,
everything was great,
195
00:08:49,162 --> 00:08:51,096
and pole number four...
196
00:08:51,098 --> 00:08:52,464
All right! Let's do this,
come on guys!
197
00:08:52,865 --> 00:08:54,032
2, 3, go!
198
00:08:54,066 --> 00:08:56,001
Push! Push! Push! Push!
199
00:08:56,003 --> 00:08:57,969
[Lindsay] Guys,
whoa, whoa, whoa!
200
00:08:57,971 --> 00:09:00,305
[all shouting] Whoa!
201
00:09:01,941 --> 00:09:03,074
Should've listened to the boss.
202
00:09:04,443 --> 00:09:07,145
We got a little bit of hurry
on the fourth pole, we uh...
203
00:09:07,147 --> 00:09:09,915
We missed our aim there,
no one got hurt,
204
00:09:09,917 --> 00:09:11,082
we're good but...
205
00:09:11,084 --> 00:09:14,119
We're on time crunch
and no need to slow it down.
206
00:09:14,220 --> 00:09:15,520
Just try that again.
207
00:09:15,522 --> 00:09:16,821
Sorry guys, I got this.
208
00:09:16,823 --> 00:09:18,356
- All day, man, all day!
- Don't worry about it.
209
00:09:19,759 --> 00:09:23,028
- Heavy.
- Looks good.
210
00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:26,331
We got it in and so looking for
smooth sailing the rest of the way out.
211
00:09:26,766 --> 00:09:27,632
Woo-hoo!
212
00:09:28,668 --> 00:09:30,802
- You got this!
- You're doing good, too.
213
00:09:30,804 --> 00:09:33,805
- We'll be back in a bit.
- I'm not sitting here holding this.
214
00:09:33,807 --> 00:09:35,040
[Wes] You got this, boo.
215
00:09:39,545 --> 00:09:41,313
[grunting]
216
00:09:43,716 --> 00:09:47,819
[Wes] We got all the poles in, everything
looks great, nice and straight, and level.
217
00:09:47,821 --> 00:09:49,120
So, we're good to go.
218
00:10:00,733 --> 00:10:03,802
[Wes] Been a busy week here
at riverside as you can see,
219
00:10:03,804 --> 00:10:05,870
we've got all of our
floor joists down,
220
00:10:05,872 --> 00:10:07,539
our sub floors went down,
221
00:10:07,541 --> 00:10:09,574
we got a lot of progress going.
222
00:10:09,576 --> 00:10:11,977
We're gonna set up
our walls today.
223
00:10:11,979 --> 00:10:13,845
It's going to b a long day
but we got a lot of help.
224
00:10:13,847 --> 00:10:15,647
You guys ready
to put this wall up?
225
00:10:15,649 --> 00:10:17,649
Lindsay's gonna be out today,
she had to work.
226
00:10:17,651 --> 00:10:22,120
We're gonna surprise her this
evening with some walls to look at.
227
00:10:22,122 --> 00:10:24,389
All right! Here goes
the first wall, here we go!
228
00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:26,191
[creaking]
229
00:10:30,763 --> 00:10:34,933
[Wes] Cool! First wall is up,
very exciting, yes!
230
00:10:34,935 --> 00:10:38,303
It's a lot bigger than I
anticipated but it looks great.
231
00:10:39,171 --> 00:10:41,373
It was the longest wall,
the heaviest,
232
00:10:41,375 --> 00:10:43,041
so it was a challenge,
233
00:10:43,043 --> 00:10:46,478
we got it set, now we can kind of
build off the other three from there.
234
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,047
- Yeah!
- [woman] All together, 1, 2, 3!
235
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,855
[Wes] Our sub floor is
about 9 feet off the ground,
236
00:10:56,857 --> 00:11:01,059
so it's going to be a challenge
getting all of our lumber up on.
237
00:11:06,599 --> 00:11:09,434
We'll build the walls,
kinda hoist them up,
238
00:11:09,436 --> 00:11:11,936
little more challenging
with the elevation but
239
00:11:11,938 --> 00:11:13,972
I think we got enough
man power to get it done.
240
00:11:19,979 --> 00:11:21,212
[nail gun clicking]
241
00:11:21,214 --> 00:11:22,347
[Wes yells]
242
00:11:22,915 --> 00:11:25,283
Leave it to me
to find the one nail
243
00:11:25,285 --> 00:11:27,852
that was nailed through
that I caught.
244
00:11:27,854 --> 00:11:30,288
When it's me working, there's
always some blood and...
245
00:11:30,923 --> 00:11:31,589
gore.
246
00:11:31,591 --> 00:11:33,291
[hammering]
247
00:11:35,995 --> 00:11:38,563
[Wes] Injuries aside, we're
making a lot of progress.
248
00:11:38,565 --> 00:11:40,231
[hammering]
249
00:11:40,233 --> 00:11:42,500
In addition to all
the exterior walls,
250
00:11:42,502 --> 00:11:46,938
we will also be framing out all the
walls for the different rooms inside.
251
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,475
Before we knew it, it was
time to put up the last wall.
252
00:11:50,943 --> 00:11:52,644
[creaking]
253
00:11:52,646 --> 00:11:55,113
Last wall! Here we go! Woo!
254
00:11:56,849 --> 00:12:00,018
Heck yeah!
Looks good, looks good!
255
00:12:00,020 --> 00:12:02,253
Let's set it
and it'll be good to go.
256
00:12:02,888 --> 00:12:03,621
[hammering]
257
00:12:03,623 --> 00:12:05,190
[Wes] So today was a long day,
258
00:12:05,192 --> 00:12:08,293
we got a lot accomplished,
got all of our walls up.
259
00:12:08,295 --> 00:12:10,361
Close your eyes.
260
00:12:10,363 --> 00:12:13,198
No one has seen it yet, so it's
going to be a big surprise to the family,
261
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,266
so I'm looking forward
to seeing they're faces.
262
00:12:15,268 --> 00:12:17,368
3, 2, 1, go!
263
00:12:18,304 --> 00:12:20,438
[cheering]
264
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,173
[Lindsay] It looks so good!
265
00:12:22,175 --> 00:12:24,242
- [Lindsay whooping] - [Wes]
Y'all wanna check out the inside?
266
00:12:24,244 --> 00:12:25,410
You wanna see your bedrooms?
267
00:12:25,644 --> 00:12:26,811
All right!
268
00:12:26,813 --> 00:12:29,647
I was a little nervous when
he showed me the floor plan,
269
00:12:29,649 --> 00:12:32,717
I wasn't sure how big it was
gonna be or small it was gonna be
270
00:12:32,719 --> 00:12:35,386
but it turned out perfect,
exactly like he said.
271
00:12:35,988 --> 00:12:38,022
Hang on!
I'm gonna open the door.
272
00:12:38,024 --> 00:12:41,159
- [Lindsay] Are you for real?
- Yeah! [laughing]
273
00:12:41,827 --> 00:12:43,995
Come on in, check it out, guys!
274
00:12:43,997 --> 00:12:46,097
[Wes] What do you think, Eva?
275
00:12:46,099 --> 00:12:49,300
This whole thing
I'm gonna decorate.
276
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:55,840
[chuckling]
277
00:12:55,842 --> 00:12:59,310
Eva had definitely
the most energetic reaction,
278
00:12:59,312 --> 00:13:00,779
and then her list of demands,
279
00:13:00,781 --> 00:13:04,115
so we made sure Eva approves
so we're good.
280
00:13:04,817 --> 00:13:06,751
[Wes] Had a big day today,
getting all the walls up,
281
00:13:06,753 --> 00:13:09,454
tomorrow is going to be
crazier, we're going up high.
282
00:13:09,456 --> 00:13:10,955
We're going
to put the rafters on,
283
00:13:10,957 --> 00:13:14,092
put the plywood up, get
ready to put the tin roof on.
284
00:13:14,094 --> 00:13:16,427
As they say,
we'll be in the dry.
285
00:13:18,531 --> 00:13:20,031
Big day tomorrow!
286
00:13:26,705 --> 00:13:29,874
[Lindsay] Today's supposed
to be a big day,
287
00:13:29,876 --> 00:13:32,844
the crew's not here, we're
supposed to have all the rafters up,
288
00:13:32,846 --> 00:13:34,779
the roof up today,
289
00:13:34,781 --> 00:13:37,015
we are on a tight timeline,
290
00:13:37,017 --> 00:13:38,550
and nobody's here.
291
00:13:38,552 --> 00:13:40,218
We can't get a hold of anybody,
292
00:13:40,220 --> 00:13:42,620
they were supposed to
be here about two hours ago.
293
00:13:42,622 --> 00:13:44,556
The weather here
is super unpredictable,
294
00:13:44,558 --> 00:13:45,623
so I'm getting a little worried,
295
00:13:45,625 --> 00:13:50,028
because sometimes it
can rain just out of nowhere.
296
00:13:50,030 --> 00:13:52,096
And we're supposed to be in
the dry right now and we're not.
297
00:13:52,164 --> 00:13:53,264
[sighs]
298
00:13:54,533 --> 00:13:56,134
This is ridiculous.
299
00:14:02,641 --> 00:14:04,108
[Lindsay] Today's supposed
to be a big day,
300
00:14:04,844 --> 00:14:07,846
the crew is not here, we're
supposed to have all the rafters up,
301
00:14:07,848 --> 00:14:09,414
the roof up, today,
302
00:14:09,915 --> 00:14:11,616
and nobody's here.
303
00:14:11,618 --> 00:14:13,985
They were supposed to be here
about two hours ago.
304
00:14:13,987 --> 00:14:16,454
Hey, babe!
Have you heard from anybody?
305
00:14:16,456 --> 00:14:18,089
Not heard from anyone.
306
00:14:18,091 --> 00:14:19,457
[Lindsay] It's so frustrating.
307
00:14:20,559 --> 00:14:23,795
One of the challenges being out
here in the middle of nowhere is
308
00:14:23,797 --> 00:14:26,297
getting people to be able
to get cellphone service,
309
00:14:26,299 --> 00:14:27,765
get connected to people,
310
00:14:27,767 --> 00:14:30,902
we've been on the phone making
phone calls but we're having no luck
311
00:14:30,904 --> 00:14:32,904
getting anyone out
to help today.
312
00:14:32,906 --> 00:14:35,306
The proverbial crap
has hit the fan.
313
00:14:35,308 --> 00:14:38,443
As of right now,
it's just me and Lindsay and
314
00:14:38,445 --> 00:14:42,447
we definitely can't get what we need
to get done today with just the two of us.
315
00:14:48,454 --> 00:14:50,855
We're gonna lose a whole
day here, you do realize that.
316
00:14:50,857 --> 00:14:51,890
Yeah.
317
00:14:51,892 --> 00:14:54,459
This puts us behind schedule and
318
00:14:54,461 --> 00:14:56,461
time is not on
our side right now.
319
00:14:56,463 --> 00:14:57,795
[Lindsay sighs]
320
00:14:57,797 --> 00:14:59,264
[Lindsay] It's so frustrating.
321
00:15:05,704 --> 00:15:07,972
No one showed up yesterday,
322
00:15:07,974 --> 00:15:11,643
so now we are just gonna have
to do this with just the three of us.
323
00:15:11,645 --> 00:15:14,612
Lindsay, Dan and myself.
324
00:15:14,614 --> 00:15:19,284
Dan is a good buddy of mine and
as of right now he is my only friend.
325
00:15:19,286 --> 00:15:21,619
We're going to get these rafters
up, we got a timeline to meet,
326
00:15:21,621 --> 00:15:24,088
and there's nothing left
but to do it.
327
00:15:24,090 --> 00:15:26,391
So it's going to be a big
challenge putting these rafters up,
328
00:15:26,393 --> 00:15:28,593
they're 30 feet in length,
329
00:15:28,595 --> 00:15:30,929
we're going to have to hoist
them through the window,
330
00:15:30,931 --> 00:15:33,965
so this is going
to complicate things.
331
00:15:33,967 --> 00:15:35,099
- The wall.
- [Lindsay] I'm up!
332
00:15:35,134 --> 00:15:36,434
To the wall.
333
00:15:36,436 --> 00:15:38,336
To the wall, grab it, Lindsay!
334
00:15:38,338 --> 00:15:39,370
[chuckling]
335
00:15:40,005 --> 00:15:41,205
Oh, God!
336
00:15:42,875 --> 00:15:44,876
- [Dan] Why don't you go help her?
- [Wes] Yup!
337
00:15:44,878 --> 00:15:46,077
[Lindsay] Are you guys
holding it?
338
00:15:46,079 --> 00:15:49,113
I'll walk it back to you.
339
00:15:51,850 --> 00:15:53,184
[Dan] This is the back end!
340
00:15:53,186 --> 00:15:55,186
It's the way it's supposed to
be. You're good just like that.
341
00:15:55,188 --> 00:15:57,155
[gasps] Oh, no!
342
00:15:58,090 --> 00:15:59,424
Shoot!
343
00:16:00,793 --> 00:16:02,160
[exhales]
344
00:16:03,162 --> 00:16:04,796
Oh, the hits keep coming.
345
00:16:04,798 --> 00:16:05,997
[thuds]
346
00:16:05,999 --> 00:16:08,066
[Wes] These rafters
were custom made,
347
00:16:08,068 --> 00:16:09,701
so there's no extra,
348
00:16:09,703 --> 00:16:12,136
we're talking days before
we can get another one,
349
00:16:12,138 --> 00:16:14,105
and we can't just
leave a gap, so,
350
00:16:14,107 --> 00:16:16,140
we're going to have to figure
out a way to make it work
351
00:16:16,142 --> 00:16:17,976
and move forward.
352
00:16:18,043 --> 00:16:19,277
Get the nail gun.
353
00:16:20,079 --> 00:16:20,979
[nail gun clicking]
354
00:16:20,981 --> 00:16:22,347
- You ready?
- Yup!
355
00:16:23,415 --> 00:16:25,883
[Wes] We should be able
to put a couple of nails in
356
00:16:25,885 --> 00:16:29,053
maybe a screw and get it to
where it'll function properly.
357
00:16:32,024 --> 00:16:33,257
[Dan] That's good, Wes.
358
00:16:33,259 --> 00:16:34,325
Oh, God!
359
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:43,968
[Lindsay] We have the short
end on the long end side,
360
00:16:43,970 --> 00:16:47,805
and the long end on the short
end side, so we're trying to spin it
361
00:16:47,807 --> 00:16:49,440
without taking it all
the way down again.
362
00:16:51,477 --> 00:16:52,977
[Dan] Stand under it.
363
00:16:53,912 --> 00:16:57,382
This comes with not having
the people you need in place.
364
00:16:58,484 --> 00:16:59,951
[Wes] Where are our friends?
365
00:16:59,953 --> 00:17:02,120
- Where are our former friends?
- [Lindsay chuckling]
366
00:17:02,921 --> 00:17:03,454
[Dan] Down a little.
367
00:17:03,922 --> 00:17:04,756
[thudding]
368
00:17:04,758 --> 00:17:06,624
[whoops] We did it!
369
00:17:06,626 --> 00:17:10,128
Did I mention it's hot out here?
370
00:17:10,130 --> 00:17:13,998
[Wes] Today is looking like it's
gonna be the hottest day of the year,
371
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,067
so that's going to make it
more challenging but
372
00:17:16,069 --> 00:17:19,103
we're going to try and push
through, we got to make up some time.
373
00:17:19,438 --> 00:17:20,405
[grunting]
374
00:17:21,073 --> 00:17:22,306
[Dan] Flip it up.
375
00:17:23,075 --> 00:17:25,910
[Wes] This is not fun.
376
00:17:25,912 --> 00:17:27,912
[Dan] We're good like Hollywood.
377
00:17:27,914 --> 00:17:28,446
[nail gun clicking]
378
00:17:29,181 --> 00:17:30,314
Is it in?
379
00:17:31,016 --> 00:17:31,949
In.
380
00:17:31,951 --> 00:17:33,451
It's in!
381
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,586
There you go.
382
00:17:35,588 --> 00:17:37,288
[Lindsay] Good job, boys!
383
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,594
[Wes] The first few beams
took us forever to get right,
384
00:17:43,596 --> 00:17:45,963
and now we're in a groove.
385
00:17:46,999 --> 00:17:50,068
But it's not long before I feel
the heat starting to get to me.
386
00:17:57,976 --> 00:18:00,011
[Wes groans] I'm locked up!
387
00:18:00,646 --> 00:18:01,612
[grunts]
388
00:18:01,614 --> 00:18:04,148
I go to take another
step up the ladder,
389
00:18:04,150 --> 00:18:07,752
and just like I got
struck by lightening.
390
00:18:07,754 --> 00:18:08,719
[Lindsay] You cramping?
391
00:18:08,721 --> 00:18:10,221
Yeah, I'm cramping.
392
00:18:10,223 --> 00:18:12,824
[Wes] Full body cramps
was in pain.
393
00:18:12,826 --> 00:18:14,025
Need some water?
394
00:18:14,027 --> 00:18:16,027
[groaning] No, I gotta stretch.
395
00:18:16,995 --> 00:18:17,962
[gasps]
396
00:18:19,164 --> 00:18:20,364
[grunts]
397
00:18:20,366 --> 00:18:22,934
[breathing heavily]
398
00:18:24,803 --> 00:18:27,972
[Lindsay] Wes tends to get
a little dramatic with his pain.
399
00:18:27,974 --> 00:18:30,942
I'm a nurse practitioner, so
unless your leg's falling off,
400
00:18:30,944 --> 00:18:34,112
I really don't see things
that big of a deal.
401
00:18:34,114 --> 00:18:37,148
[Wes] I tried to throw
some water on my head,
402
00:18:37,150 --> 00:18:40,017
hydrate, nothing was working.
403
00:18:40,019 --> 00:18:42,086
Hang on. [groans]
404
00:18:42,688 --> 00:18:44,789
I think we're gonna
call it today, okay?
405
00:18:44,791 --> 00:18:46,424
Yeah. I think we're done
for the day.
406
00:18:46,426 --> 00:18:48,626
- Let's just call it.
- All right.
407
00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:50,895
[Wes] We were fighting an
uphill battle with the three of us,
408
00:18:50,897 --> 00:18:53,731
and then me, even at half speed,
409
00:18:53,733 --> 00:18:54,899
I'm still pretty good usually,
410
00:18:54,901 --> 00:18:57,034
but not on this day.
411
00:18:57,036 --> 00:19:00,438
The cramps ended it for us,
they always do.
412
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,814
So a little incident
with the cramping,
413
00:19:09,816 --> 00:19:11,048
but we have prevailed.
414
00:19:11,050 --> 00:19:13,017
We got all the rafters up,
415
00:19:13,019 --> 00:19:14,418
all the underlay in it.
416
00:19:15,754 --> 00:19:17,288
We got all the house wrap up,
417
00:19:17,290 --> 00:19:19,056
and our windows are installed.
418
00:19:19,224 --> 00:19:21,125
Hey-o!
419
00:19:30,068 --> 00:19:33,771
[Lindsay] We're about to put the
metal on the roof, it's about 18 feet high,
420
00:19:33,773 --> 00:19:35,740
I'm a little scared of heights,
421
00:19:35,742 --> 00:19:37,708
but Wes is really scared,
422
00:19:37,710 --> 00:19:40,611
so I'm kind of looking forward
to seeing the drama from him,
423
00:19:40,613 --> 00:19:42,947
let's just hope he doesn't
get a cramp.
424
00:19:42,949 --> 00:19:47,585
All right, so we've got about
ten of these pieces of tin,
425
00:19:47,587 --> 00:19:50,454
that's got to go
from there up to there.
426
00:19:50,456 --> 00:19:51,989
[Lindsay] You think
you can handle that?
427
00:19:51,991 --> 00:19:54,125
I know I'm not scared
but I know you.
428
00:19:54,127 --> 00:19:55,993
Oh, God, just get the metal.
429
00:19:58,931 --> 00:20:00,898
I got it.
430
00:20:00,900 --> 00:20:01,999
[Lindsay]
You need help, honey?
431
00:20:02,001 --> 00:20:02,733
No.
432
00:20:02,735 --> 00:20:04,235
[Lindsay] Oh, a couple of bugs.
433
00:20:06,138 --> 00:20:08,072
[Wes] All right, let's get
this piece of metal on.
434
00:20:08,807 --> 00:20:10,141
Y'all ready?
435
00:20:10,143 --> 00:20:11,342
Looking good down there.
436
00:20:12,411 --> 00:20:14,445
Not only am I excited
that it's roof day,
437
00:20:14,447 --> 00:20:17,014
but I'm fired up that
our friends are finally back
438
00:20:17,016 --> 00:20:19,016
and we're going to make
a lot of progress.
439
00:20:19,785 --> 00:20:21,018
It's going to be a good day.
440
00:20:21,820 --> 00:20:24,455
[metal sheet rattling]
441
00:20:26,892 --> 00:20:29,527
[Lindsay] Wait,
is this too long?
442
00:20:29,529 --> 00:20:33,764
- [Lindsay] Is it too long?
- [Wes] Uh, yup. It is.
443
00:20:33,766 --> 00:20:37,868
[man] Yeah, you're looking
at about 11 and a quarter. So...
444
00:20:37,870 --> 00:20:40,972
- So, are they all that?
- [Wes] Yeah, all of them the same length.
445
00:20:41,173 --> 00:20:43,107
[Wes sighs]
446
00:20:43,109 --> 00:20:44,542
God, leap on.
447
00:20:44,544 --> 00:20:48,212
It's definitely too long. It's
about a foot too long. Gosh...
448
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,350
[Wes] Ugh...
Further and further behind.
449
00:20:58,757 --> 00:21:00,992
[Lindsay] We're about to put
the metal on the roof.
450
00:21:00,994 --> 00:21:02,793
- [metal sheet rattling]
- And we realized,
451
00:21:02,795 --> 00:21:05,162
it was extremely too long.
452
00:21:05,164 --> 00:21:08,065
[man] Yeah, you're looking
at about 11 and a quarter.
453
00:21:08,067 --> 00:21:09,634
So, are they all that?
454
00:21:09,636 --> 00:21:13,037
[Wes] Yeah, all of them the
same length. God, leap on.
455
00:21:13,039 --> 00:21:14,572
- [Lindsay] So what do we gotta do?
- [Wes sighs]
456
00:21:14,574 --> 00:21:16,173
We'll have to cut if off.
457
00:21:16,175 --> 00:21:17,675
- And you think that's gonna work?
- And go from there.
458
00:21:17,709 --> 00:21:18,976
It's gonna have to.
459
00:21:19,111 --> 00:21:24,448
We measured 27 feet, 7 inches.
We received 28 feet, 8 inches.
460
00:21:24,450 --> 00:21:26,651
So, we're gonna have to...
461
00:21:26,653 --> 00:21:28,552
cut that off and make it work.
462
00:21:28,554 --> 00:21:30,955
Okay. Well, there's another
couple hours of work.
463
00:21:30,957 --> 00:21:33,958
I know. We're just further
and further behind.
464
00:21:35,661 --> 00:21:38,062
All right. Let's get this
grinder up here,
465
00:21:38,064 --> 00:21:39,830
and we're gonna cut a foot off
on this one.
466
00:21:39,832 --> 00:21:40,831
[whirring]
467
00:21:40,833 --> 00:21:42,433
[Wes] Now, we're gonna have to
468
00:21:42,435 --> 00:21:45,603
take all these pieces
and cut 'em individually
469
00:21:45,605 --> 00:21:49,040
which, what should have taken
not a lot of time to get 'em put up,
470
00:21:49,042 --> 00:21:51,175
is now gonna take a lot longer.
471
00:21:51,910 --> 00:21:53,477
Bingo.
472
00:21:53,479 --> 00:21:55,846
We cut the first piece of tin
that was on the roof
473
00:21:55,848 --> 00:21:58,816
instead of having to take it
down and re-putting it back up.
474
00:21:58,818 --> 00:22:01,319
And then, we got our guy, Kelly.
475
00:22:01,321 --> 00:22:04,221
He's gonna use a grinder
to cut the rest of the tin.
476
00:22:05,324 --> 00:22:07,958
[Wes] Pull it up.
About an inch and a half.
477
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,861
- Well, that's about three and a quarter.
- How'd it work?
478
00:22:10,896 --> 00:22:12,163
[whirring]
479
00:22:12,165 --> 00:22:15,433
On top of the roof,
I took control of the drill.
480
00:22:16,868 --> 00:22:18,536
And I was killing it.
481
00:22:18,538 --> 00:22:20,171
[Lindsay] Did you see that?
482
00:22:24,509 --> 00:22:27,078
[Wes] The first couple pieces
of tin, it went great.
483
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,947
And so, now we're ready to
roll, and get the rest of 'em up.
484
00:22:30,916 --> 00:22:32,950
[Lindsay] Here we go!
485
00:22:34,419 --> 00:22:35,753
[drill whirring]
486
00:22:35,755 --> 00:22:37,455
We're done, guys!
Good job!
487
00:22:37,457 --> 00:22:38,923
- [all whooping]
- You're the man!
488
00:22:38,925 --> 00:22:40,725
[Wes] Last piece of tin is in.
489
00:22:40,727 --> 00:22:42,893
And now we're ready
for solar panels.
490
00:22:42,895 --> 00:22:45,596
- We good? Y'all need any help?
- Yes, sir. We're getting it done.
491
00:22:45,598 --> 00:22:48,866
[Wes] I am now in "manage" mode.
492
00:22:48,868 --> 00:22:50,901
So, someone has to do it.
It's a tough job.
493
00:22:50,903 --> 00:22:53,771
Lindsay's eating grapes
in the shade, somewhere.
494
00:22:53,773 --> 00:22:55,406
- [worker 1] Coming up.
- [worker 2] Comin' in, hot!
495
00:22:55,474 --> 00:22:58,676
[Wes] We've got some good, strapping,
young men that are hoisting these up.
496
00:22:58,678 --> 00:23:00,845
The panels were the smoothest
part of the day.
497
00:23:00,847 --> 00:23:04,415
We were able to hand 'em up,
screw 'em down. Everything went great.
498
00:23:15,794 --> 00:23:19,096
Let's go over here.
This spot looks good.
499
00:23:19,098 --> 00:23:20,631
[Lindsay] So, I have this
old whiskey barrel.
500
00:23:20,633 --> 00:23:24,769
And I want to char it and burn
it to bring the wood out of it,
501
00:23:24,771 --> 00:23:27,638
the natural accents of the wood
to make some porch swings.
502
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,907
So, I'm really excited
about this project.
503
00:23:29,909 --> 00:23:31,542
Do you think you could make
any swing out of this?
504
00:23:31,544 --> 00:23:33,144
- [Wes] Heck, yeah.
- [Lindsay] Okay.
505
00:23:33,146 --> 00:23:36,447
- Have you ever used a torch?
- I looked it up on the internet.
506
00:23:36,449 --> 00:23:37,815
Oh, my goodness...
507
00:23:37,817 --> 00:23:39,683
- Will you please be careful?
- Yes, we can do this.
508
00:23:39,685 --> 00:23:41,719
- Okay.
- Okay, come on.
509
00:23:41,721 --> 00:23:44,655
[Lindsay] I've never
done this before, but...
510
00:23:44,657 --> 00:23:48,159
I think it's gonna be pretty easy.
We're just gonna torch the sides.
511
00:23:50,796 --> 00:23:53,063
[Wes] Don't keep it
in one spot too long.
512
00:23:53,065 --> 00:23:54,231
[Lindsay] Okay.
513
00:23:55,934 --> 00:23:56,967
Uh...
514
00:23:57,102 --> 00:23:58,869
Oh, God! Wes, Wes!
515
00:23:58,871 --> 00:24:00,438
[Wes grunts]
No!
516
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,007
- [Lindsay] Oh, gosh...
- [splashing]
517
00:24:03,009 --> 00:24:05,810
Well, I told you, you didn't
know how to use a torch!
518
00:24:05,812 --> 00:24:06,777
[Lindsay] That's
our only barrel.
519
00:24:06,779 --> 00:24:08,312
[Wes] Yeah, and she gone.
520
00:24:08,314 --> 00:24:11,382
[Lindsay] There goes my swing.
Oh, gosh...
521
00:24:16,922 --> 00:24:18,489
I have this old whiskey barrel.
522
00:24:18,491 --> 00:24:21,225
And I want to char it
and burn it.
523
00:24:21,227 --> 00:24:24,428
Everything's going as planned.
The wood is looking great.
524
00:24:24,430 --> 00:24:25,896
And then all of a sudden...
525
00:24:25,898 --> 00:24:29,166
Uh...
Oh, God! Wes, Wes!
526
00:24:29,168 --> 00:24:30,701
- [Wes grunts] No!
- Oh, gosh...
527
00:24:30,703 --> 00:24:32,736
[splashing]
528
00:24:32,738 --> 00:24:36,607
What did you do? Well, I told you,
you didn't know how to use a torch!
529
00:24:36,609 --> 00:24:38,976
She kind of, got fond
of on spot,
530
00:24:38,978 --> 00:24:41,712
and stayed there too long,
and boom!
531
00:24:41,714 --> 00:24:44,815
[laughing]
"Boom!"
532
00:24:44,817 --> 00:24:47,084
- That's our only barrel.
- Yeah, and she gone.
533
00:24:47,086 --> 00:24:48,419
Oh, gosh...
534
00:24:48,421 --> 00:24:49,887
[Wes]
Where's the bugle playing?
535
00:24:49,889 --> 00:24:52,623
I guess we'll find another
barrel if you want the swing.
536
00:24:52,625 --> 00:24:54,925
Okay. So, I guess we're
not doing this today, then?
537
00:24:54,927 --> 00:24:57,428
[chuckles]
Don't be... What do you mean?
538
00:24:57,430 --> 00:25:00,364
[both laughing]
539
00:25:00,366 --> 00:25:02,233
- No, not today.
- Okay.
540
00:25:06,638 --> 00:25:10,708
We are about to put up our
yellow pine board and batten siding.
541
00:25:10,710 --> 00:25:13,911
We chose this
for the rustic look.
542
00:25:13,913 --> 00:25:16,914
Something that we thought
would give a good feel for the land.
543
00:25:16,916 --> 00:25:18,782
- You're gonna nail it, babe?
- Yeah.
544
00:25:18,784 --> 00:25:20,618
- [Lindsay] Comin' in hot!
- All right.
545
00:25:20,620 --> 00:25:22,686
- [nail gun clicks]
- Oh, God!
546
00:25:22,688 --> 00:25:24,522
- [chuckles] - We'll
make sure it's still level.
547
00:25:24,524 --> 00:25:25,689
[Lindsay] This thing's
dangerous!
548
00:25:25,691 --> 00:25:28,792
Lindsay claims that she can
use the nail gun.
549
00:25:28,794 --> 00:25:31,829
I've never seen that, or heard
of her using a nail gun.
550
00:25:31,831 --> 00:25:34,965
So, this will be...
a little scary.
551
00:25:34,967 --> 00:25:37,468
I looked it up on the internet.
So, I'm pretty confident
552
00:25:37,470 --> 00:25:39,069
I can use the nail gun.
553
00:25:39,071 --> 00:25:42,206
- [Lindsay] Okay. Where am I going? Right here?
- Yeah.
554
00:25:43,775 --> 00:25:47,745
- [Wes] Now, zig-zag and go down further on the left side.
- [nail gun clicks]
555
00:25:47,747 --> 00:25:50,381
- See, I told you I could do this.
- Yeah.
556
00:25:51,349 --> 00:25:53,284
[nail gun clicking]
557
00:25:55,654 --> 00:25:58,355
- All right. Ready for the next one.
- Okay.
558
00:25:59,624 --> 00:26:01,825
Personally, I think the way
I put the nails in
559
00:26:01,827 --> 00:26:04,595
is much slower and precise
than Wes.
560
00:26:04,597 --> 00:26:08,098
But of course, he had
to show off, and go fast.
561
00:26:08,100 --> 00:26:11,435
- [shouting] All right, babe, you ready? All right.
- I'm ready.
562
00:26:12,804 --> 00:26:14,171
[Wes speaking]
563
00:26:14,706 --> 00:26:18,208
There should be some redemption
for "the broken rafter" situation.
564
00:26:18,210 --> 00:26:20,878
Even though, he's the one
that broke it.
565
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,346
Not me.
566
00:26:24,115 --> 00:26:25,149
[Lindsay] I got it.
567
00:26:26,151 --> 00:26:28,953
- Good job.
- I know. I got it.
568
00:26:30,822 --> 00:26:32,756
Uh... That's off, babe.
569
00:26:32,758 --> 00:26:36,293
- [Wes] Ah, God.
- Like, really off.
570
00:26:36,295 --> 00:26:37,962
- You didn't measure it right.
- No, if I was doing the measuring,
571
00:26:37,964 --> 00:26:40,431
- we know this would turn out right.
- [Wes chuckles]
572
00:26:40,433 --> 00:26:41,999
[Wes] We go to place
the second board,
573
00:26:42,001 --> 00:26:44,168
and notice that it's off.
574
00:26:44,170 --> 00:26:46,470
So, our angles were catawampus.
575
00:26:46,472 --> 00:26:48,005
[sighs in exasperation]
576
00:26:48,007 --> 00:26:51,208
We're gonna have to re-cut,
and we only have so many boards.
577
00:26:51,210 --> 00:26:53,677
- So, they have to get this one right.
- [scraping]
578
00:26:53,679 --> 00:26:56,080
[whirring]
579
00:26:57,816 --> 00:27:00,250
- We got it right this time?
- Way better.
580
00:27:01,886 --> 00:27:03,153
[Wes] We're good.
581
00:27:03,455 --> 00:27:04,421
Oh, this is good.
582
00:27:04,423 --> 00:27:06,457
[nail gun clicks]
583
00:27:10,795 --> 00:27:13,263
- Two down!
- Next!
584
00:27:13,265 --> 00:27:15,799
We got the first couple
boards in, got our angles right.
585
00:27:15,801 --> 00:27:17,868
[whirring]
586
00:27:17,870 --> 00:27:19,870
[Wes] And should be
smooth sailing from here.
587
00:27:19,872 --> 00:27:22,973
[Lindsay] This is
the last piece, babe.
588
00:27:27,012 --> 00:27:30,814
- Good job. Only 300-something more to go.
- Ugh...
589
00:27:30,816 --> 00:27:33,217
- [chuckles]
- Okay.
590
00:27:39,724 --> 00:27:42,693
So, we got this pump. We're
gonna throw it in the creek.
591
00:27:42,695 --> 00:27:45,029
And hopefully, we're gonna have
some water here in just a second.
592
00:27:45,031 --> 00:27:46,664
Here off the grid,
water is limited.
593
00:27:46,666 --> 00:27:48,899
So, we're gonna
have to use the creek.
594
00:27:48,901 --> 00:27:51,935
We've bought this pump, and
we're gonna pump water, and purify it.
595
00:27:51,937 --> 00:27:54,238
And use it for all
of our needs in the house.
596
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:55,439
- Let's go, babe.
- Put it in.
597
00:27:58,710 --> 00:28:00,844
[gasps]
Look, it works!
598
00:28:00,846 --> 00:28:03,147
- [chuckles]
- Maybe...
599
00:28:05,550 --> 00:28:07,718
[Lindsay] Yes! It works!
600
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,621
Yes! All we gotta do now is
hook it up to the filtration system,
601
00:28:10,623 --> 00:28:13,290
- and we're good to go.
- All right.
602
00:28:17,095 --> 00:28:19,329
[Lindsay] The front of our
cabin looked very plain to me.
603
00:28:19,331 --> 00:28:20,731
Just had a lot of wood.
604
00:28:20,733 --> 00:28:23,801
And I decided, "Let's do a rock
wall. Underneath the window."
605
00:28:23,803 --> 00:28:25,436
I thought it would look
really good.
606
00:28:25,438 --> 00:28:27,271
So, I've decided to take on
this project.
607
00:28:27,273 --> 00:28:29,773
Me and Eva, and Wes
can help us a little bit.
608
00:28:29,775 --> 00:28:33,310
So, what we have to do, we're gonna
have to put the heavy ones down low.
609
00:28:33,312 --> 00:28:35,813
We'll set them on the ground,
we're gonna glue it.
610
00:28:35,815 --> 00:28:39,717
And then, stick it on there. So, you gotta
pick out a pattern and a design, okay?
611
00:28:39,719 --> 00:28:41,852
[Wes] And then we gotta
fill in all the gaps.
612
00:28:41,854 --> 00:28:44,254
So, we have a... It's
like a puzzle. You got it?
613
00:28:45,023 --> 00:28:47,357
- [Lindsay and Wes laugh]
- [Wes] All right.
614
00:28:47,359 --> 00:28:50,027
We're gonna place
the river rock on the wall
615
00:28:50,029 --> 00:28:54,598
with some special glue they
make for mason and concrete items.
616
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,033
[Wes] That look straight, sis?
617
00:28:56,035 --> 00:28:58,569
[Eva] Yeah... But it
could be a little better.
618
00:28:58,571 --> 00:29:00,437
[Wes and Eva laugh]
619
00:29:00,439 --> 00:29:02,940
- Really? Gonna try another one?
- Yeah.
620
00:29:02,942 --> 00:29:04,074
[Eva] I wanna glue it.
621
00:29:04,076 --> 00:29:05,943
[Eva speaking]
622
00:29:07,946 --> 00:29:10,047
[Wes speaking]
623
00:29:10,049 --> 00:29:12,116
- Do we have more of that glue?
- Yeah.
624
00:29:14,452 --> 00:29:16,153
[Eva speaking]
625
00:29:16,155 --> 00:29:17,120
[Wes and Lindsay laugh]
626
00:29:17,122 --> 00:29:19,423
[Lindsay] I hope not
or we'll be here all day.
627
00:29:19,425 --> 00:29:21,425
[Wes] It's a little
intimidating working with Eva.
628
00:29:21,427 --> 00:29:24,561
She's pretty domineering
and bossy.
629
00:29:24,563 --> 00:29:27,798
She makes us all
toe the line very well.
630
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,134
- [Lindsay] Okay, push it in.
- [Eva grunts]
631
00:29:30,702 --> 00:29:33,403
- [Eva murmuring] Yeah.
- You wanna keep going?
632
00:29:37,976 --> 00:29:41,678
We're going along really great,
everything's working out perfectly,
633
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:42,813
and we've run out of glue.
634
00:29:42,815 --> 00:29:45,082
[Lindsay] Oh, honey.
We have a problem.
635
00:29:45,084 --> 00:29:47,351
We're out of glue.
Do you have any more?
636
00:29:48,052 --> 00:29:49,686
Except the empty one...
637
00:29:49,688 --> 00:29:51,121
[Lindsay] We only bought
five tubes?
638
00:29:51,123 --> 00:29:53,423
- We can't finish this.
- No?
639
00:29:53,792 --> 00:29:56,293
[speaking]
640
00:30:03,434 --> 00:30:05,669
The front of our cabin
looked very plain to me.
641
00:30:05,671 --> 00:30:07,805
And I decided,
"Let's do a rock wall."
642
00:30:07,807 --> 00:30:10,908
We're going along really
great, and we've run out of glue.
643
00:30:10,910 --> 00:30:13,277
- Do you have any more?
- Except the empty one...
644
00:30:13,279 --> 00:30:14,812
You only bought five tubes?
645
00:30:14,814 --> 00:30:17,080
[speaking]
646
00:30:17,082 --> 00:30:18,816
- [Wes] I told you to get more.
- No.
647
00:30:18,818 --> 00:30:20,217
- This is you.
- [Wes chuckles] No.
648
00:30:20,219 --> 00:30:22,186
Should've bought what I said.
649
00:30:23,188 --> 00:30:24,855
[speaking]
650
00:30:24,857 --> 00:30:25,422
[Lindsay sighs]
651
00:30:25,424 --> 00:30:26,523
[speaking]
652
00:30:26,525 --> 00:30:29,359
- Y'all were there, too.
- [Lindsay] I'm gonna wait.
653
00:30:29,361 --> 00:30:34,631
So, Lindsay apparently, miscalculated on
how much glue we needed for the project.
654
00:30:34,633 --> 00:30:38,569
So, we're at a standstill, and we'll
have to finish the wall another day.
655
00:30:38,571 --> 00:30:42,339
Now we have yet another
obstacle to overcome.
656
00:30:48,913 --> 00:30:51,915
[Lindsay] Over the last week, we've
been able to get a lot accomplished.
657
00:30:51,917 --> 00:30:52,950
We've hung our drywall.
658
00:30:52,952 --> 00:30:54,618
We built the greenhouse.
659
00:30:54,986 --> 00:30:59,189
And we finally got the glue to finish
the rock wall, and it looks amazing.
660
00:30:59,191 --> 00:31:01,258
Now, on to the fun stuff.
661
00:31:02,861 --> 00:31:04,862
You ready for this, babe?
662
00:31:04,864 --> 00:31:06,330
I don't really know
what we're doing.
663
00:31:06,764 --> 00:31:08,465
[clattering]
664
00:31:08,467 --> 00:31:10,067
[Wes] We're gonna be building
your throne.
665
00:31:10,069 --> 00:31:11,702
- What kinda throne?
- Uh...
666
00:31:11,704 --> 00:31:13,437
We're building our toilet.
667
00:31:13,439 --> 00:31:15,005
[Wes] So, we're coming down
to the home stretch.
668
00:31:15,007 --> 00:31:18,175
It's, uh, time to make
this house a home.
669
00:31:18,177 --> 00:31:20,944
Starting with
one of the main center points.
670
00:31:20,946 --> 00:31:23,046
Uh, Lindsay's new throne.
671
00:31:23,048 --> 00:31:24,715
- [chuckles]
- Are you excited?
672
00:31:24,717 --> 00:31:25,983
- So excited.
- [chuckles]
673
00:31:25,985 --> 00:31:27,417
- [Lindsay] You ready?
- [Wes] Yep.
674
00:31:27,419 --> 00:31:30,954
[Wes] For the compost toilet,
we're gonna frame up a box.
675
00:31:31,856 --> 00:31:35,392
Use some of the siding just to
tie it in with the rest of the house.
676
00:31:37,061 --> 00:31:40,530
Place the seat on it.
And let it rip.
677
00:31:40,532 --> 00:31:43,000
- Literally.
- Literally. [chuckles]
678
00:31:43,735 --> 00:31:45,802
Don't you think it needs
a little flair to it?
679
00:31:45,804 --> 00:31:47,704
[Lindsay] We finally get
the box built.
680
00:31:47,706 --> 00:31:50,741
And we get the toilet
seat out. It's very "Blah."
681
00:31:50,743 --> 00:31:53,043
So, I thought,
"Why not paint it pink?"
682
00:31:53,444 --> 00:31:55,979
[spray can hissing]
683
00:31:56,848 --> 00:31:57,381
Babe, come look!
684
00:31:57,383 --> 00:31:59,483
It's so pretty.
685
00:31:59,485 --> 00:32:03,420
[Wes] Nothing really says "Building off
the grid" quite like a pink toilet seat.
686
00:32:04,622 --> 00:32:05,756
[Lindsay] Okay!
687
00:32:06,057 --> 00:32:08,091
- Pink toilet. Yeah, it's great.
- [Lindsay chuckles]
688
00:32:08,093 --> 00:32:09,960
[drill whirring]
689
00:32:09,962 --> 00:32:12,896
Your thrown awaits, Queen.
690
00:32:12,898 --> 00:32:14,431
- Are you ready?
- Yeah.
691
00:32:15,867 --> 00:32:17,968
Aah! I love it!
692
00:32:21,439 --> 00:32:23,941
[Wes] So, a while ago,
we found this log.
693
00:32:23,943 --> 00:32:25,709
We really liked
the characteristics of it,
694
00:32:25,711 --> 00:32:28,145
and thought we could really
use it in the house.
695
00:32:28,147 --> 00:32:29,446
- You ready? 'Cause I'm gonna drop it.
- [Lindsay] I'm--
696
00:32:29,448 --> 00:32:33,050
- And then, we're gonna take off.
- All right, let's go.
697
00:32:33,052 --> 00:32:36,353
[Wes] Big. And instead of carrying
it, we floated it down the river.
698
00:32:38,890 --> 00:32:40,190
[Wes] Whoo!
699
00:32:40,591 --> 00:32:41,658
We've let it dry out.
700
00:32:41,660 --> 00:32:43,961
And now we're gonna
rip this down,
701
00:32:43,963 --> 00:32:46,563
plane it out, and use it
for some window sills.
702
00:32:46,565 --> 00:32:48,265
[drill whirring]
703
00:32:51,536 --> 00:32:54,905
Using the log we found for
the window sills, looks amazing.
704
00:32:54,907 --> 00:32:58,308
It's added a nice nostalgic,
kind of, look to it.
705
00:32:58,676 --> 00:33:00,911
Yes. That looks good.
706
00:33:00,913 --> 00:33:02,713
[Wes] It was really neat
to be able to use
707
00:33:02,715 --> 00:33:05,082
something off the land
in the house.
708
00:33:05,084 --> 00:33:09,086
And also, the added danger
that I had to go through
709
00:33:09,088 --> 00:33:10,787
to get that log here...
710
00:33:10,789 --> 00:33:13,090
uh, will live in infamy.
711
00:33:14,592 --> 00:33:16,426
[Lindsay] One of the best
things about this house
712
00:33:16,428 --> 00:33:18,462
is we get to put
our special touches on it,
713
00:33:18,464 --> 00:33:20,397
and some
of our favorite decorations.
714
00:33:21,065 --> 00:33:21,798
[Eva] Watch out.
715
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:22,799
[all laughing]
716
00:33:22,801 --> 00:33:24,701
I drew a family picture
717
00:33:24,703 --> 00:33:26,737
and I've been painting it.
718
00:33:26,739 --> 00:33:30,707
This is Daddy, this is Mommy,
this is me, this is Allie.
719
00:33:30,709 --> 00:33:31,641
And this is White Burrito.
720
00:33:31,643 --> 00:33:35,746
Eva has hand-painted a boat oar.
721
00:33:35,748 --> 00:33:39,082
And she's super excited to put it on
the wall. So, I can't wait to see that.
722
00:33:39,084 --> 00:33:40,984
Here you go, Daddy.
723
00:33:42,053 --> 00:33:43,387
A little bit to the left.
724
00:33:44,789 --> 00:33:46,156
More to the right.
725
00:33:46,158 --> 00:33:47,758
[Eva] No, more to the left.
726
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,259
No. No...
727
00:33:49,261 --> 00:33:50,927
More to the right.
728
00:33:50,929 --> 00:33:51,661
Really?
729
00:33:51,663 --> 00:33:52,662
[Wes and Lindsay chuckle]
730
00:33:52,664 --> 00:33:54,698
I think she just wanted
to torture me.
731
00:33:54,700 --> 00:33:57,134
I don't think she had a clue
where she really wanted it.
732
00:33:57,136 --> 00:33:59,236
- How's that look?
- It looks good.
733
00:33:59,238 --> 00:34:00,404
[Eva speaking]
734
00:34:01,939 --> 00:34:03,407
Yeah.
735
00:34:10,214 --> 00:34:14,284
[Wes] Well, babe, since you
messed up our original barrel there,
736
00:34:14,286 --> 00:34:16,953
- we had to go-- Yeah!
- In my defense, I've never burned anything.
737
00:34:16,955 --> 00:34:19,623
Lindsay got the idea. She wanted
to make a whiskey barrel swing.
738
00:34:19,625 --> 00:34:21,525
It went horribly wrong.
739
00:34:21,527 --> 00:34:23,593
My intuition was right,
not to give you a blowtorch.
740
00:34:23,595 --> 00:34:25,562
Well, thank goodness
for Jeremy making this.
741
00:34:25,564 --> 00:34:29,499
We had to call in a buddy of
ours, Jeremy, to come through
742
00:34:29,501 --> 00:34:32,836
and get it made. So, me and
Lindsay didn't kill each other.
743
00:34:32,838 --> 00:34:35,906
[Lindsay] It's absolutely
beautiful. It's exactly what I wanted.
744
00:34:35,908 --> 00:34:39,042
So, now we're just gonna hang
it from one of the final touches.
745
00:34:39,210 --> 00:34:40,777
- All right, let it go.
- Got it?
746
00:34:40,779 --> 00:34:42,279
- Okay.
- Slowly...
747
00:34:43,314 --> 00:34:44,247
[Lindsay] Got it.
748
00:34:44,816 --> 00:34:45,882
Yeah?
749
00:34:45,884 --> 00:34:46,983
[Wes] How's it look?
750
00:34:46,985 --> 00:34:47,784
It looks so good!
751
00:34:47,786 --> 00:34:49,719
- Oh, that is awesome.
- I love it.
752
00:34:49,721 --> 00:34:52,823
We're definitely gonna need a
vacation after all this is said and done.
753
00:34:52,825 --> 00:34:55,826
But we're looking forward
to show it off to our friends.
754
00:34:55,828 --> 00:34:57,861
And to think...
You killed a barrel for this.
755
00:34:57,863 --> 00:35:00,697
[both chuckle]
756
00:35:00,699 --> 00:35:02,732
[Wes] We know it's gonna be
a lot of long nights.
757
00:35:02,734 --> 00:35:05,102
Lot of hard work,
and a lot of effort.
758
00:35:05,104 --> 00:35:07,204
But, we're looking forward
to the challenge.
759
00:35:11,976 --> 00:35:14,010
Ah! That is so cute!
760
00:35:14,012 --> 00:35:16,246
I just hope we can
button it all up.
761
00:35:26,124 --> 00:35:27,624
[Wes] So, we finally finished
the cabin
762
00:35:27,626 --> 00:35:30,427
and it feels unbelievable.
763
00:35:30,429 --> 00:35:33,296
We're so excited, everything's
done. It all came together,
764
00:35:33,298 --> 00:35:35,665
and we are just thrilled.
765
00:35:35,667 --> 00:35:39,769
Our projected timeline to
finish this project was six weeks.
766
00:35:39,771 --> 00:35:42,072
It took us eight weeks, but it
was well worth the extra two weeks
767
00:35:42,074 --> 00:35:43,106
to get it done.
768
00:35:43,108 --> 00:35:45,509
[Wes] Our budget was $50,000.
769
00:35:45,511 --> 00:35:47,177
We were able to stay
within the budget.
770
00:35:47,179 --> 00:35:50,213
And we're pretty pleased to
do this work in eight weeks.
771
00:35:52,683 --> 00:35:54,384
[motor revving]
772
00:35:54,386 --> 00:35:56,419
[man] Babe, I think
that might be it.
773
00:35:56,421 --> 00:35:58,889
- [woman] Oh, how beautiful that is!
- [man] Oh, my goodness.
774
00:35:58,891 --> 00:36:00,991
[man] Holy cow...
775
00:36:00,993 --> 00:36:04,094
We're very excited to be showing
the cabin off finally today to our friends,
776
00:36:04,096 --> 00:36:05,896
Mark and Sherre.
777
00:36:05,898 --> 00:36:07,797
[Wes] It's a little
challenging getting here.
778
00:36:07,799 --> 00:36:08,898
The fastest way is by water.
779
00:36:08,900 --> 00:36:12,269
So, they'll be riding up
on the boat safely,
780
00:36:12,271 --> 00:36:14,604
and then, we'll have 'em come
up and check everything out.
781
00:36:14,606 --> 00:36:16,373
I cannot wait
for them to see it.
782
00:36:18,009 --> 00:36:19,843
- [Mark] Holy cow!
- [Lindsay] Hi, guys!
783
00:36:19,845 --> 00:36:20,910
- Hey!
- What's up?
784
00:36:20,912 --> 00:36:23,813
[Mark] Oh, my goodness.
This place is out here.
785
00:36:23,815 --> 00:36:25,615
- [Sherre] I love it, though.
- [Wes] Out a little bit.
786
00:36:25,617 --> 00:36:26,950
- [Mark] This place is amazing!
- Hey!
787
00:36:26,952 --> 00:36:28,685
[Wes] This is our little piece
of heaven here.
788
00:36:28,687 --> 00:36:31,354
- [Sherre] Y'all built this?
- [Wes laughs]
789
00:36:31,356 --> 00:36:33,356
[Mark] Yeah, this is great, man.
You guys really built this yourselves?
790
00:36:33,358 --> 00:36:35,192
- [Sherre] You got it on stilts. I love this.
- [Wes] Yeah.
791
00:36:35,194 --> 00:36:38,428
- Oh, my goodness.
- Yeah, we had to get it up off the ground a little bit.
792
00:36:38,430 --> 00:36:39,462
So, we don't flood.
793
00:36:39,464 --> 00:36:40,931
- Yeah.
- [Mark] The perfect river house.
794
00:36:40,933 --> 00:36:42,566
- That's great.
- I'm quite impressed, guys.
795
00:36:42,568 --> 00:36:43,900
I'd love to see inside.
796
00:36:43,902 --> 00:36:46,803
- Let's check it out.
- Let's go! Let's go.
797
00:36:46,805 --> 00:36:49,005
- [Sherre] It's beautiful.
- [Mark] Wow.
798
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,474
- Isn't it pretty?
- Perfect.
799
00:36:51,476 --> 00:36:54,778
This is why we built it.
For this view right here.
800
00:36:54,780 --> 00:36:57,781
- I can totally see that. This is amazing.
- I love this, guys.
801
00:36:57,783 --> 00:36:58,682
[Mark] Absolutely amazing.
802
00:36:58,684 --> 00:37:00,784
Honey, this is what we need.
803
00:37:00,786 --> 00:37:02,819
- I built this rock wall, by the way.
- [Sherre gasps]
804
00:37:02,821 --> 00:37:03,853
- You built this?
- I sure did.
805
00:37:03,855 --> 00:37:05,755
Oh, my goodness, girl.
806
00:37:05,757 --> 00:37:08,225
[Lindsay] Okay, guys. You
wanna check out the inside?
807
00:37:08,227 --> 00:37:10,827
- [Mark] Absolutely. [chuckles]
- [Sherre] I cannot wait.
808
00:37:10,894 --> 00:37:13,063
Here we are!
809
00:37:13,065 --> 00:37:16,032
- [Sherre gasps] Oh, wow!
- [Mark] Oh, my goodness.
810
00:37:16,034 --> 00:37:18,602
- This is beautiful, guys.
- Wow, certainly.
811
00:37:18,604 --> 00:37:20,904
[Sherre] Gosh,
look at these walls!
812
00:37:20,906 --> 00:37:23,707
- This is so country boujee. I'm loving this.
- [Wes laughs]
813
00:37:23,709 --> 00:37:24,908
You know that's our style.
814
00:37:24,910 --> 00:37:26,776
- [Sherre] Is it?
- [Lindsay] Yes!
815
00:37:26,778 --> 00:37:28,678
[Sherre] I love your sink!
816
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,414
I love this butcher block.
This is so pretty.
817
00:37:32,583 --> 00:37:34,651
- [Wes] Do the walls look familiar?
- [Mark] They do.
818
00:37:34,653 --> 00:37:36,753
- I feel like we just walked by 'em.
- You did.
819
00:37:36,755 --> 00:37:38,755
So, we loved that outside
so much, we wanted to bring
820
00:37:38,757 --> 00:37:40,824
a little bit of it
in here as well.
821
00:37:40,826 --> 00:37:43,693
- [Sherre] That's a great idea.
- And we love the rustic look.
822
00:37:43,695 --> 00:37:45,662
[Lindsay] You guys wanna see
the rest of it?
823
00:37:45,664 --> 00:37:47,397
- [Mark] Yes, let's see it.
- [Sherre] Okay, let's go.
824
00:37:48,466 --> 00:37:51,668
- Eva painted us a boat oar.
- Aww!
825
00:37:51,670 --> 00:37:53,737
- Oh, my gosh. How cute!
- [Mark] That's pretty nice.
826
00:37:53,739 --> 00:37:55,038
Where's your clothes, honey?
827
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:55,972
- That's off the grid.
- Off the grid.
828
00:37:55,974 --> 00:37:57,073
[Sherre] I love it.
829
00:37:57,075 --> 00:37:58,808
[Lindsay] Let's go
see some more.
830
00:37:58,810 --> 00:38:00,076
[Sherre and Mark] Let's go.
831
00:38:00,411 --> 00:38:02,045
Oh, this is so cute!
832
00:38:02,047 --> 00:38:03,713
- I love-- - This is where
we would put you guys up,
833
00:38:03,715 --> 00:38:05,815
- if you come hang out one night.
- [Sherre] Oh!
834
00:38:05,817 --> 00:38:08,084
- [Sherre] Did you make this?
- [Wes] Yes. I did, actually.
835
00:38:08,086 --> 00:38:10,020
- Nice touch.
- Very nice.
836
00:38:10,022 --> 00:38:11,054
[Sherre] So when do we move in?
837
00:38:11,056 --> 00:38:14,157
[all laughing]
838
00:38:14,159 --> 00:38:16,526
- [Lindsay] Here's the main bedroom.
- [Sherre] Love this.
839
00:38:16,528 --> 00:38:17,727
Come on in.
840
00:38:17,729 --> 00:38:19,596
- [Sherre] Oh, wow.
- [Mark] Oh, it looks good.
841
00:38:19,598 --> 00:38:20,830
- Very nice.
- Oh, that's so cute.
842
00:38:20,832 --> 00:38:23,533
[Lindsay] Okay, guys.
This is Eva's loft bed.
843
00:38:23,535 --> 00:38:25,402
- [Sherre gasps] That's so perfect for her.
- Isn't it cute?
844
00:38:25,404 --> 00:38:28,705
- That is adorable.
- Wes, tell them about our window sill.
845
00:38:28,707 --> 00:38:32,008
[Wes] This was a piece that we
cut off, that we floated down the river.
846
00:38:32,010 --> 00:38:33,943
- [Sherre] Pretty amazing.
- It was quite the adventure.
847
00:38:33,945 --> 00:38:35,712
Uh, this window,
I love the view.
848
00:38:35,714 --> 00:38:36,880
- [Lindsay] Isn't it pretty?
- It's beautiful.
849
00:38:36,882 --> 00:38:39,049
[Mark] It's not too bad
to wake up to that.
850
00:38:39,051 --> 00:38:41,017
- You can't go wrong with that.
- Or this view, right?
851
00:38:41,019 --> 00:38:43,353
[all laughing]
852
00:38:45,089 --> 00:38:46,623
You guys wanna see our bathroom?
853
00:38:46,625 --> 00:38:48,224
- Yes.
- Yeah, let's see it.
854
00:38:48,226 --> 00:38:50,527
- [Mark] Love that sink.
- You wanna see something really cute?
855
00:38:50,529 --> 00:38:52,028
Look at my toilet.
856
00:38:52,030 --> 00:38:53,330
- Oh, that's-- I love that.
- With a pink seat.
857
00:38:53,332 --> 00:38:54,831
- [Lindsay] With a pink seat.
- [Wes] Of course. That's her throne.
858
00:38:54,833 --> 00:38:57,000
If we're gonna do
a composting toilet,
859
00:38:57,002 --> 00:38:58,902
I'm at least gonna put
a little bit of boujee on it.
860
00:38:58,904 --> 00:39:00,837
[Sherre] That's right.
861
00:39:00,839 --> 00:39:02,972
[Mark] So, Wes, how do
you guys get the power
862
00:39:02,974 --> 00:39:04,974
and your running water,
and all that stuff out here?
863
00:39:04,976 --> 00:39:07,811
We have twelve solar panels
up top.
864
00:39:07,813 --> 00:39:10,380
We are pumping water
from the creek up.
865
00:39:10,382 --> 00:39:13,483
And, and running it
through the filtration system.
866
00:39:13,485 --> 00:39:16,319
- [Lindsay] We're living off the grid.
- [Sherre] You really are.
867
00:39:17,421 --> 00:39:20,690
Wes and Lindsay have made
a perfect place for their family.
868
00:39:20,692 --> 00:39:21,858
And I can't wait
to enjoy it with them.
869
00:39:21,860 --> 00:39:23,026
Very proud of both of them.
870
00:39:24,795 --> 00:39:27,831
- So, what do you think of the cabin, sis?
- I like it.
871
00:39:27,833 --> 00:39:30,867
What was the funniest part
of us building this cabin?
872
00:39:30,869 --> 00:39:32,435
- Huh?
- Daddy cramping.
873
00:39:32,437 --> 00:39:34,637
- [Lindsay chuckles]
- "Daddy cramping?" Really?
874
00:39:34,639 --> 00:39:37,440
[Wes] Things that challenge you and
push you are usually some of the most
875
00:39:37,442 --> 00:39:40,176
rewarding things
we come across, and...
876
00:39:40,178 --> 00:39:43,880
I can honestly say that building off the
grid has been one of those experiences
877
00:39:43,882 --> 00:39:45,782
to tell our friends.
878
00:39:45,784 --> 00:39:48,752
"We built that wall, we did
this. We did that together."
879
00:39:48,754 --> 00:39:50,253
So, it was pretty cool.
880
00:39:53,457 --> 00:39:54,958
[Wes and Lindsay chuckle]
