1
00:00:01,668 --> 00:00:04,069
[Sydney] We are building our geodesic
dome in the North Georgia Mountains.
2
00:00:04,071 --> 00:00:06,872
I have zero
experience in building.
3
00:00:06,874 --> 00:00:08,207
First time for everything.
4
00:00:08,209 --> 00:00:10,809
[Aaron] The terrain is just
really rugged out here.
5
00:00:10,811 --> 00:00:14,079
I'm so nervous. I'm so
nervous. I can't even watch.
6
00:00:14,081 --> 00:00:15,481
[Sydney] We do have
a lot of brush.
7
00:00:15,483 --> 00:00:17,483
[Aaron] And we're
going to set it all on fire.
8
00:00:17,485 --> 00:00:18,584
[both] Whoa!
9
00:00:18,586 --> 00:00:19,484
Boom shakalaka.
10
00:00:19,486 --> 00:00:21,387
This Georgia weather is just...
11
00:00:21,389 --> 00:00:22,821
It's not helping us right now.
12
00:00:22,823 --> 00:00:24,556
[Sydney] Oh my gosh.
13
00:00:24,558 --> 00:00:27,359
How am I supposed to build
a house in this storm?
14
00:00:27,361 --> 00:00:30,062
Another rainy day
here in Georgia.
15
00:00:30,064 --> 00:00:32,765
I feel like days
are just slipping away.
16
00:00:32,767 --> 00:00:34,833
Hang on guys, I think
we did something wrong.
17
00:00:34,835 --> 00:00:36,835
- [Sydney] Oh!
- [man] The lines are off a little bit.
18
00:00:36,837 --> 00:00:38,504
I hope this dome
doesn't fall down.
19
00:00:38,506 --> 00:00:41,173
[Sydney] We're kind of at a...
a tense moment here.
20
00:00:41,175 --> 00:00:44,376
- [Aaron] There is no messing up at any point through this.
- [Sydney groans]
21
00:00:44,378 --> 00:00:46,345
[Sydney] I didn't realize
how hard it was going to be.
22
00:00:46,347 --> 00:00:49,214
[narrator] Are you ready
to go off the grid?
23
00:00:59,292 --> 00:01:01,293
[Sydney] Do you want
to go see it?
24
00:01:01,295 --> 00:01:03,162
Where our new home
is going to be.
25
00:01:03,164 --> 00:01:06,532
We chose this property because
it's close to work
26
00:01:06,534 --> 00:01:08,133
but yet far enough away.
27
00:01:08,135 --> 00:01:09,635
Close to family
28
00:01:09,637 --> 00:01:13,072
and also secluded too,
so it's really nice.
29
00:01:13,074 --> 00:01:15,407
We're going to build our home
right up here.
30
00:01:15,409 --> 00:01:18,410
We have got this
perfect spot picked out.
31
00:01:19,145 --> 00:01:19,745
[Sydney] I'm Sydney.
32
00:01:19,747 --> 00:01:21,480
[Aaron] I'm Aaron.
33
00:01:21,482 --> 00:01:24,817
[Sydney] And we are building our geodesic
dome in the North Georgia Mountains.
34
00:01:24,819 --> 00:01:28,654
The build site is two hours
outside of Atlanta in Dalton, Georgia.
35
00:01:29,456 --> 00:01:31,857
[Sydney] Oh, Titus,
are you excited?
36
00:01:31,859 --> 00:01:33,325
[Titus] Yes.
37
00:01:33,327 --> 00:01:35,828
[Aaron] The terrain is just
really rugged out here.
38
00:01:35,830 --> 00:01:39,932
We've got right at five acres,
it's rolling hills, really steep.
39
00:01:39,934 --> 00:01:43,635
[Sydney] Lots of greenery. A lot of
places that we can plant and garden.
40
00:01:43,637 --> 00:01:47,339
But also a nice place at the very
top that's just a sweet spot for us.
41
00:01:47,807 --> 00:01:48,907
[Aaron] Look!
42
00:01:49,008 --> 00:01:51,977
[Sydney] You'll be able to dig
so much right here.
43
00:01:51,979 --> 00:01:53,145
Is it going to be cool?
44
00:01:53,147 --> 00:01:54,780
[Titus] Yes.
45
00:01:54,782 --> 00:01:57,015
[Aaron] We have a son
named Titus.
46
00:01:57,017 --> 00:01:59,651
He's four years old
and he is just our joy.
47
00:01:59,653 --> 00:02:01,520
He loves to dig in the dirt.
48
00:02:01,522 --> 00:02:04,656
You'll be able to live right
here with mommy and daddy.
49
00:02:04,658 --> 00:02:06,058
[Sydney] Wow.
50
00:02:06,060 --> 00:02:08,660
[Sydney] He's a little adventurer
and he loves to be outdoors.
51
00:02:08,662 --> 00:02:12,297
So it's going to be really cool just to
experience this whole property with him.
52
00:02:12,299 --> 00:02:14,266
[Sydney] You're already
starting it for us.
53
00:02:16,002 --> 00:02:17,503
Call that a day's work.
54
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,144
[Aaron] We are building a
geodesic dome on a 40x40 deck.
55
00:02:25,146 --> 00:02:27,045
And when you walk in it
you're going to see
56
00:02:27,047 --> 00:02:29,214
our living room
and our kitchen area.
57
00:02:29,216 --> 00:02:32,050
And then the back half will
have our bedroom, bathroom
58
00:02:32,052 --> 00:02:33,986
and our son's bedroom.
59
00:02:33,988 --> 00:02:36,922
And we just can't wait
to live there together.
60
00:02:36,924 --> 00:02:40,826
[Sydney] So, for our off-grid features,
we are going to have solar for power
61
00:02:40,828 --> 00:02:45,430
well-water, and then we are also going
to have a wood-burning stove for heat.
62
00:02:45,432 --> 00:02:47,232
You going to start breaking
the foundation for us?
63
00:02:47,234 --> 00:02:48,033
[Titus] Yes.
64
00:02:48,035 --> 00:02:49,468
[Sydney] Yeah. Let's do it.
65
00:02:50,803 --> 00:02:52,638
This is not a vacation home.
66
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:55,073
This is our full-time residence.
67
00:02:55,075 --> 00:02:57,009
Our son's going to be
growing up here,
68
00:02:57,011 --> 00:02:59,111
so, we're going to make it
a really nice home.
69
00:02:59,113 --> 00:03:02,814
And we've got to do it quick because
we've already sold our other home.
70
00:03:02,816 --> 00:03:04,950
[Aaron] All right.
Give mom a high-five too.
71
00:03:04,952 --> 00:03:07,252
[Sydney]
That's my boy. All right.
72
00:03:07,254 --> 00:03:10,322
- I like it. Done. Done.
- [Titus] Done.
73
00:03:10,324 --> 00:03:12,758
[Aaron] The dome is
39 feet wide,
74
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,461
20 feet tall in the center,
1,294 square feet
75
00:03:16,463 --> 00:03:19,198
and we're going to hopefully
do it in five weeks
76
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,733
- with $55,000.
- Ooh.
77
00:03:21,735 --> 00:03:23,669
[Aaron] This is going to be
a big challenge,
78
00:03:23,671 --> 00:03:26,338
building this dome, but
it's going to be so worth it.
79
00:03:26,340 --> 00:03:27,739
[Sydney] Labor of love.
80
00:03:27,741 --> 00:03:28,874
Yes.
81
00:03:28,876 --> 00:03:30,642
Hey, honey. So, I'm going to
put you to work.
82
00:03:30,644 --> 00:03:33,412
- We have got a lot of brush to cut.
- All right!
83
00:03:33,414 --> 00:03:34,980
All right. First time
for everything.
84
00:03:34,982 --> 00:03:35,847
Yes.
85
00:03:35,849 --> 00:03:39,218
I have zero
experience in building.
86
00:03:39,220 --> 00:03:41,153
We're going to take out
these trees right here...
87
00:03:41,155 --> 00:03:42,187
- Okay.
- so we can have enough room.
88
00:03:42,189 --> 00:03:43,655
And a few back here.
89
00:03:43,657 --> 00:03:46,592
I've helped build six other
homes for other people, but,
90
00:03:46,594 --> 00:03:49,895
building a geodesic dome
is going to be a little different
91
00:03:49,897 --> 00:03:53,298
so it's going to be quite interesting
trying to figure this thing out.
92
00:03:53,300 --> 00:03:54,099
I think I can do it.
93
00:03:54,101 --> 00:03:55,901
[Aaron] All right.
Let's go.
94
00:03:55,903 --> 00:03:59,905
But this is going to be really
interesting, watching my wife just
95
00:03:59,907 --> 00:04:03,942
doing these things out here, but
I know she's got a lot of energy.
96
00:04:03,944 --> 00:04:06,345
Yeah. What about my strength?
97
00:04:07,113 --> 00:04:09,314
- And strength too.
- Yeah.
98
00:04:12,385 --> 00:04:14,353
[Aaron] So, we've got about
10 trees to take out.
99
00:04:14,355 --> 00:04:16,788
Cut them up and then put them
to this brush pile
100
00:04:16,790 --> 00:04:18,357
- and we're going to burn them.
- [Russell] Okay.
101
00:04:18,359 --> 00:04:21,426
[Aaron] So, I've never cut
trees before so I'm a little terrified
102
00:04:21,428 --> 00:04:22,861
but I've got
a good friend, Russell,
103
00:04:22,863 --> 00:04:25,497
that's coming to help,
so, I feel a little better.
104
00:04:26,266 --> 00:04:28,000
I feel a little bit better
too about it.
105
00:04:28,002 --> 00:04:29,568
- [Aaron] Parallel?
- [Russell]Yep.
106
00:04:31,237 --> 00:04:32,671
[Sydney] Yeah. Muscles.
107
00:04:34,407 --> 00:04:35,607
[Russell] Finish cutting
that wedge.
108
00:04:39,212 --> 00:04:40,846
[Sydney] You know,
like a slice of cheese.
109
00:04:40,848 --> 00:04:41,613
[Russell] Okay.
110
00:04:42,849 --> 00:04:44,316
All right. Go.
111
00:04:45,184 --> 00:04:47,986
[Sydney] Right,
she's going. All right!
112
00:04:48,888 --> 00:04:51,156
Good job boys.
You cut your first tree.
113
00:04:51,158 --> 00:04:52,190
[Aaron] All right!
114
00:04:52,192 --> 00:04:54,393
[Sydney] Got it.
Clean cut. That's nice.
115
00:04:54,395 --> 00:04:55,560
[Russell] Good job.
116
00:04:55,628 --> 00:04:57,996
[Aaron] First chainsaw
experience was a little scary,
117
00:04:57,998 --> 00:04:59,331
but we made it happen.
118
00:04:59,333 --> 00:05:01,600
- I think you did a great job for your first go-around.
- Thanks.
119
00:05:04,537 --> 00:05:05,504
[Sydney] Coming down!
120
00:05:07,006 --> 00:05:08,173
All right.
121
00:05:11,277 --> 00:05:14,046
Today, we knocked a lot out,
cleared a lot of land,
122
00:05:14,048 --> 00:05:17,783
but there is one behemoth tree
over 100 foot tall,
123
00:05:17,785 --> 00:05:19,484
it's right in the middle
of our driveway
124
00:05:19,486 --> 00:05:22,354
and we just don't have the
equipment for it or the manpower.
125
00:05:22,356 --> 00:05:24,756
[Aaron] And so, our friend
Colby's going to come in
126
00:05:24,758 --> 00:05:27,125
and help us
knock that tree down.
127
00:05:27,127 --> 00:05:29,127
It looks like we've got a
pretty good lane out this way.
128
00:05:29,129 --> 00:05:31,897
So what I'm going to do is I'm going
to reach up here about shoulder height
129
00:05:31,899 --> 00:05:34,299
then I'm going to make a face cut
for our direction, and then a back cut.
130
00:05:34,301 --> 00:05:36,635
Just keep your eyes up
and watch for any hazards
131
00:05:36,637 --> 00:05:38,970
other tree tops swinging back,
they could snap and break.
132
00:05:38,972 --> 00:05:41,673
[Aaron] The tree is really
big, so it's a little dangerous.
133
00:05:41,675 --> 00:05:43,975
[Sydney] If a gust of wind
comes, it could fall a different way
134
00:05:43,977 --> 00:05:44,810
than we were expecting.
135
00:05:44,812 --> 00:05:46,178
So, we'll see.
136
00:05:46,180 --> 00:05:48,747
[Colby] Your best bet is to
be uphill from the falling timber.
137
00:05:48,749 --> 00:05:50,315
That's going to be
my escape route as well.
138
00:05:50,317 --> 00:05:53,051
Okay, well, I'm going where your
escape route is. We're going uphill.
139
00:05:53,053 --> 00:05:54,319
- You got that?
- Yes. All right.
140
00:05:54,321 --> 00:05:58,657
[saw motor revving]
141
00:06:06,165 --> 00:06:07,432
I'm nervous.
142
00:06:09,602 --> 00:06:12,070
Colby is cutting this tree
and it is starting to crack
143
00:06:12,072 --> 00:06:15,507
and I'm getting really kind of nervous
because it's shifting and it's wobbly.
144
00:06:18,277 --> 00:06:20,078
[Aaron] We're really scared,
running up the hill.
145
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,613
Whoa. Come on.
146
00:06:22,915 --> 00:06:24,950
[Sydney] Ah! She's going down!
147
00:06:25,651 --> 00:06:28,387
[Aaron] Timber!
148
00:06:30,656 --> 00:06:32,324
Wow.
149
00:06:32,326 --> 00:06:35,293
The tree is down.
Boom shakalaka.
150
00:06:35,295 --> 00:06:37,095
- [Sydney] That was great.
- [Aaron] Right?
151
00:06:37,097 --> 00:06:38,663
That was a doozy of a tree.
152
00:06:38,665 --> 00:06:40,098
We're all good,
everybody's safe.
153
00:06:40,100 --> 00:06:42,334
And so now we have a good
path again for our driveway.
154
00:06:42,336 --> 00:06:44,536
- Thank you, sir.
- Thank you guys.
155
00:06:45,838 --> 00:06:47,305
[Sydney] So now that
we all have our trees down,
156
00:06:47,307 --> 00:06:49,708
we do have a lot of brush
that we need to get rid of.
157
00:06:49,710 --> 00:06:51,743
And we're going
to set it all on fire.
158
00:06:51,745 --> 00:06:54,880
So, you think this is a good place to do
this? Do you think it's going to be safe?
159
00:06:54,882 --> 00:06:55,947
I don't know but we're
going to find out.
160
00:06:55,949 --> 00:06:58,083
Okay, well,
I hope that it works.
161
00:06:58,085 --> 00:07:02,654
We have all of this wooded area, so
I'm a little worried that it could spread,
162
00:07:02,656 --> 00:07:05,190
the wind could blow,
something could catch.
163
00:07:06,292 --> 00:07:09,094
So, I'm hoping that
we can keep it contained.
164
00:07:09,096 --> 00:07:10,262
[Aaron] Just give it
a shot, baby.
165
00:07:10,264 --> 00:07:11,363
[Sydney] Wow. Okay.
166
00:07:11,365 --> 00:07:12,431
[Aaron] All right.
Here we go.
167
00:07:12,433 --> 00:07:13,265
[Sydney] All right, let's see.
168
00:07:13,267 --> 00:07:14,366
[both] Whoa!
169
00:07:16,669 --> 00:07:18,203
[Sydney] So now that
we all have our trees down,
170
00:07:18,205 --> 00:07:20,038
we do have a lot of brush
that we need to get rid of.
171
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,140
And we're going
to set it all on fire.
172
00:07:22,142 --> 00:07:23,375
[Aaron] Just, give it
a shot, baby.
173
00:07:23,377 --> 00:07:24,242
[Sydney] Wow. Okay.
174
00:07:24,244 --> 00:07:25,177
[Aaron] All right.
Here we go.
175
00:07:25,179 --> 00:07:26,411
[Sydney] All right, let's see.
176
00:07:26,413 --> 00:07:28,079
-Whoa! Yeah, yeah. That was good. Okay.
-Whoa!
177
00:07:28,281 --> 00:07:29,981
Wow. Okay.
178
00:07:29,983 --> 00:07:34,085
[Aaron] I throw the stick in
and boom! Blows up.
179
00:07:34,087 --> 00:07:37,589
[Sydney] It was a huge flame
and it terrifies me.
180
00:07:38,491 --> 00:07:40,058
[Aaron] Now we just need
some marshmallows.
181
00:07:40,060 --> 00:07:41,026
[Sydney] Very nice.
182
00:07:41,028 --> 00:07:42,761
[Aaron] So, now that
the fire is going,
183
00:07:42,763 --> 00:07:44,329
we're just going to let it
burn for a few hours
184
00:07:44,331 --> 00:07:46,965
and we won't have
any brush anymore.
185
00:07:50,069 --> 00:07:52,671
[Sydney] Today is
a really exciting day for us.
186
00:07:52,673 --> 00:07:56,041
We have a guy coming in
bringing all our lumber, our cement.
187
00:07:56,043 --> 00:07:59,644
We have a full crew here
to help us get our decking
188
00:07:59,646 --> 00:08:01,813
and, you know,
the foundation done.
189
00:08:01,815 --> 00:08:03,081
This just gets the ball rolling
190
00:08:03,083 --> 00:08:05,350
for us getting the house
as soon as possible.
191
00:08:06,786 --> 00:08:08,152
[Aaron] It's really muddy.
192
00:08:08,154 --> 00:08:09,721
I'm really hoping that that
truck is going to make it up
193
00:08:09,723 --> 00:08:11,790
with all that lumber and cement.
194
00:08:11,792 --> 00:08:13,892
[Aaron] That's a steep grade,
right there.
195
00:08:13,894 --> 00:08:15,293
All right.
He's coming up.
196
00:08:15,295 --> 00:08:17,762
[man 1] I hope he makes it up
cause I'm not trying to haul this up.
197
00:08:17,764 --> 00:08:19,397
[Aaron] He's got to get
some more momentum going.
198
00:08:19,399 --> 00:08:21,299
Being wet
doesn't help it at all.
199
00:08:21,968 --> 00:08:23,235
[Aaron] Come on, buddy.
200
00:08:23,237 --> 00:08:26,004
The cement weights
around 12,000 pounds,
201
00:08:26,006 --> 00:08:27,706
the wood around 10,000 pounds.
202
00:08:27,708 --> 00:08:30,408
So, we're pushing 22,000
pounds with the truck.
203
00:08:30,410 --> 00:08:32,944
[man 2] Dude. Man, I don't
know if he's going to make it past
204
00:08:32,946 --> 00:08:34,112
that stump right there, though.
205
00:08:34,114 --> 00:08:35,447
[man 1] Come on, man.
206
00:08:39,018 --> 00:08:40,652
[Sydney] I just see
his tires spinning.
207
00:08:40,654 --> 00:08:43,188
He's having
a really difficult time.
208
00:08:44,857 --> 00:08:48,493
[man 1] Aw, man.
You've got to be kidding me.
209
00:08:48,495 --> 00:08:49,528
It's not looking good.
210
00:08:52,665 --> 00:08:54,366
[all] No!
211
00:08:55,268 --> 00:08:57,402
[indistinct chatter]
212
00:08:57,404 --> 00:08:58,803
[man 2] Is he spinning?
213
00:08:58,938 --> 00:09:01,239
[Aaron] Seeing him just not
being able to get up that hill
214
00:09:01,241 --> 00:09:03,074
is making me really sad.
215
00:09:03,076 --> 00:09:05,343
Not really sure
what to do from here.
216
00:09:09,148 --> 00:09:11,082
[Sydney] Well,
it was worth a shot, huh?
217
00:09:11,084 --> 00:09:12,117
Yeah. Got to do it.
218
00:09:12,119 --> 00:09:14,085
Yeah. Made me real nervous.
219
00:09:14,087 --> 00:09:16,121
Now we need to figure out what
we're going to do with all this lumber.
220
00:09:16,123 --> 00:09:18,857
You think you can take
a 4x8 sheet on your back?
221
00:09:18,859 --> 00:09:21,026
[chuckles] I don't get paid
enough money to do that.
222
00:09:21,028 --> 00:09:21,993
[Sydney] Yeah.
223
00:09:22,295 --> 00:09:23,194
[driver speaking]
224
00:09:23,196 --> 00:09:24,930
You did try.
I appreciate that too.
225
00:09:24,932 --> 00:09:26,331
Appreciate ya.
226
00:09:26,333 --> 00:09:27,999
[Aaron] The truck is not
making it up there.
227
00:09:28,001 --> 00:09:32,437
So, I guess the solution is
to try again when it dries up.
228
00:09:33,806 --> 00:09:36,107
It's just a real bummer today
to have that crew come out
229
00:09:36,109 --> 00:09:37,909
and not really get
anything done.
230
00:09:37,911 --> 00:09:39,978
We're just
really frustrated, defeated.
231
00:09:39,980 --> 00:09:42,280
[Sydney] This is gonna
set us back a week.
232
00:09:42,282 --> 00:09:45,317
[Aaron] This Georgia weather is
just, it's not helping us right now.
233
00:09:45,319 --> 00:09:46,384
[Sydney] Yeah it sucks.
234
00:09:49,021 --> 00:09:51,222
[Aaron] Just as the ground
started to dry up,
235
00:09:51,224 --> 00:09:53,992
Mother Nature showed up again.
236
00:09:53,994 --> 00:09:56,561
How am I supposed to build
a house in this storm?
237
00:09:59,265 --> 00:10:01,700
[Aaron] All this rain,
I feel like days are
238
00:10:01,702 --> 00:10:03,201
just slipping away.
239
00:10:03,203 --> 00:10:05,437
[Aaron] Another rainy day
here in Georgia.
240
00:10:05,439 --> 00:10:07,238
And look at this hill behind me.
241
00:10:08,174 --> 00:10:09,841
[Aaron] Nobody's
making it up that
242
00:10:09,843 --> 00:10:11,209
with a bunch of material.
243
00:10:12,345 --> 00:10:14,112
[Aaron] If we get any more rain
244
00:10:14,780 --> 00:10:16,881
we're just gonna
build down the hill.
245
00:10:16,883 --> 00:10:18,283
[Aaron] Live in a pond, I guess.
246
00:10:20,219 --> 00:10:22,187
After a few days of rain,
247
00:10:22,189 --> 00:10:24,022
the skies have
finally cleared up,
248
00:10:24,024 --> 00:10:25,757
and now the path is dry.
249
00:10:25,759 --> 00:10:27,459
And we are ready to roll.
250
00:10:32,932 --> 00:10:34,666
All right, they're delivering
the wood.
251
00:10:36,168 --> 00:10:38,370
[Titus]
252
00:10:38,372 --> 00:10:41,239
- Yeah, the wood for our house.
- Yeah.
253
00:10:43,242 --> 00:10:45,644
[Aaron] Well, that's the last
of the wood
254
00:10:45,646 --> 00:10:48,680
and all of our building
materials are finally here.
255
00:10:52,518 --> 00:10:55,120
[Sydney] So now that we finally
have all of our materials on site,
256
00:10:55,122 --> 00:10:56,955
we're ready to build
our deck platform.
257
00:10:56,957 --> 00:10:58,923
[Aaron] It's gonna be
a 40x40 deck.
258
00:10:58,925 --> 00:11:01,860
And hopefully it's only gonna
take a few days to construct.
259
00:11:01,862 --> 00:11:04,162
[upbeat music playing]
260
00:11:17,677 --> 00:11:19,978
[Sydney] The deck is
finally done, it looks awesome
261
00:11:19,980 --> 00:11:22,080
and now we really get to start
on the dome.
262
00:11:22,082 --> 00:11:25,316
I'm just so excited
to get to that next step.
263
00:11:25,318 --> 00:11:27,652
[Aaron] All right guys,
so the dome is finally here.
264
00:11:27,654 --> 00:11:29,654
[Aaron] It came from
many miles away,
265
00:11:29,656 --> 00:11:30,989
all the way to North Georgia.
266
00:11:30,991 --> 00:11:32,457
[Aaron] This came from overseas.
267
00:11:32,459 --> 00:11:34,893
You can't go to
your local store and buy this.
268
00:11:34,895 --> 00:11:36,194
So there's no messing up
269
00:11:36,196 --> 00:11:37,962
at any point through this.
270
00:11:37,964 --> 00:11:39,898
It's 20 feet tall in the center,
271
00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:42,000
and we've got about 450 parts,
272
00:11:42,002 --> 00:11:43,935
and we've got a lot
of nuts and bolts.
273
00:11:43,937 --> 00:11:46,671
[Aaron] So let's not
lose our minds, okay?
274
00:11:46,673 --> 00:11:50,108
[Sydney] Looking at all this, there's no
way that Aaron and I can get this done
275
00:11:50,110 --> 00:11:51,009
by ourselves.
276
00:11:51,011 --> 00:11:52,977
So we have Tim and we have Dylan
277
00:11:52,979 --> 00:11:55,480
and some more crew workers
with these guys
278
00:11:55,482 --> 00:11:58,516
and hopefully, with all their
help, we can get this put up today.
279
00:11:59,251 --> 00:12:00,251
[Dylan] We need
280
00:12:00,253 --> 00:12:02,420
a 10 and a 12 attached to that
281
00:12:02,422 --> 00:12:03,221
first plate.
282
00:12:03,255 --> 00:12:04,656
[Sydney] Okay.
283
00:12:04,957 --> 00:12:07,158
[Dylan] And then we'll start working
our way around once we get that.
284
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,094
And they strategically,
got this laid out where
285
00:12:09,096 --> 00:12:10,829
they think it's gonna
make a dome.
286
00:12:10,831 --> 00:12:12,897
This is kinda like
a jigsaw puzzle
287
00:12:12,899 --> 00:12:15,200
[Aaron] with instructions
in another language.
288
00:12:15,202 --> 00:12:16,534
English is hard enough for me.
289
00:12:22,241 --> 00:12:23,141
[man] Beautiful.
290
00:12:23,208 --> 00:12:24,976
We've got these
first few pieces going up
291
00:12:24,978 --> 00:12:26,778
these guys are moving
really quickly.
292
00:12:26,780 --> 00:12:28,346
[Sydney] So we have a lot
of high aspirations
293
00:12:28,348 --> 00:12:30,048
to getting the dome up today.
294
00:12:30,050 --> 00:12:31,382
And we've been waiting
for this for so long,
295
00:12:31,384 --> 00:12:32,317
and to finally to see
296
00:12:32,319 --> 00:12:34,953
the first, like,
foundational lays of it.
297
00:12:34,955 --> 00:12:36,020
[Sydney] It's exciting.
298
00:12:36,422 --> 00:12:37,322
[man] There you go.
299
00:12:37,324 --> 00:12:38,423
[Sydney] All right, yeah.
300
00:12:38,425 --> 00:12:40,959
[Tim] And that oughta
hold the door up.
301
00:12:40,961 --> 00:12:43,661
[Sydney] It's uh, wait, is it
supposed to be all wonky like this?
302
00:12:43,663 --> 00:12:45,764
Hang on, guys. I think
we did something wrong.
303
00:12:45,766 --> 00:12:47,832
[Aaron] I don't think
this is gonna fit.
304
00:12:47,834 --> 00:12:49,234
- Yeah, it does.
- [Sydney] No, don't say that.
305
00:12:49,236 --> 00:12:50,802
[Aaron] The lines are
off a little bit.
306
00:12:50,804 --> 00:12:53,071
The guys are really
in a good groove here.
307
00:12:53,073 --> 00:12:54,873
[Sydney] But then we notice that
308
00:12:54,875 --> 00:12:58,076
there is one particular part
of that is not right.
309
00:12:58,078 --> 00:12:59,844
[man] I can see right out now
that it's not gonna work.
310
00:12:59,846 --> 00:13:01,946
- [Sydney] Oh.
- [Aaron] Oh, shoot.
311
00:13:01,948 --> 00:13:03,581
[Sydney] We're in a
stand still a little bit here.
312
00:13:05,217 --> 00:13:07,285
[intense music playing]
313
00:13:09,722 --> 00:13:10,889
[Sydney] It's uh,
314
00:13:10,891 --> 00:13:12,290
wait, is this supposed to be
all wonky like this?
315
00:13:12,292 --> 00:13:14,125
Hang on guys, I think
we did something wrong.
316
00:13:14,127 --> 00:13:15,860
- [Sydney] Oh, shush.
- [Aaron] Oh, shoot.
317
00:13:15,862 --> 00:13:18,062
[Aaron] I don't think
this is gonna fit.
318
00:13:18,064 --> 00:13:18,963
No, it's gonna have to.
319
00:13:18,965 --> 00:13:20,031
[man] It looks
a little long to me.
320
00:13:20,033 --> 00:13:21,666
[Aaron] The lines are off
a little bit.
321
00:13:21,668 --> 00:13:23,434
[Tim] I can see right now
that it's not gonna work.
322
00:13:25,237 --> 00:13:27,105
[Dylan] Yeah, it is.
[Sydney] No, don't say that.
323
00:13:27,107 --> 00:13:29,073
[Sydney] The guys are really
in a good groove.
324
00:13:29,075 --> 00:13:31,876
But then we notice
that there is one
325
00:13:31,878 --> 00:13:34,913
[Sydney] particular part
of a triangle that is not right.
326
00:13:34,915 --> 00:13:37,015
We're in a stand still
a little bit here.
327
00:13:37,017 --> 00:13:38,850
[Tim] I think we've got
some pieces in the wrong spot.
328
00:13:38,852 --> 00:13:40,485
[Aaron] Just confirming
this is an 11.
329
00:13:41,420 --> 00:13:43,087
Actually we got a 12 in the spot
330
00:13:43,089 --> 00:13:45,223
where we're supposed to have 11.
331
00:13:45,225 --> 00:13:46,825
[Tim] So we need
to go back and check.
332
00:13:46,827 --> 00:13:49,060
[Tim] Do we have to swap
these two pieces out?
333
00:13:49,062 --> 00:13:50,195
[Dylan] We got a 12 and a 10
334
00:13:50,197 --> 00:13:52,197
that are misplaced.
335
00:13:52,199 --> 00:13:54,666
[Dylan] I guess we're gonna
have to take this back apart.
336
00:13:54,668 --> 00:13:56,901
I hope the rest of this dome
doesn't fall down.
337
00:13:56,903 --> 00:13:58,236
So they're go and have to
338
00:13:58,238 --> 00:13:59,838
get in there and take that down.
339
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,105
It's good that we caught it now
340
00:14:01,107 --> 00:14:02,574
cause if not, it could have
been a huge mess
341
00:14:02,576 --> 00:14:04,008
to take care of later.
342
00:14:05,144 --> 00:14:07,512
[man 1] All right, let's just push
on it... [man 2] All right, okay.
343
00:14:08,681 --> 00:14:10,348
[Dylan] All right, let's put
the 11 into here.
344
00:14:13,052 --> 00:14:14,252
[Dylan] Okay.
345
00:14:14,254 --> 00:14:15,787
Well, it's good
we caught it now, right?
346
00:14:15,789 --> 00:14:16,221
[Dylan] Yeah.
347
00:14:16,223 --> 00:14:17,922
I don't know what
348
00:14:17,924 --> 00:14:19,357
we would have done if we
had caught it when it was all up.
349
00:14:23,929 --> 00:14:26,164
[Tim] So many pieces, I can
see how that would happen.
350
00:14:31,437 --> 00:14:33,438
- [Tim] All right.
- [Aaron] All right, let's keep going.
351
00:14:35,307 --> 00:14:36,374
First row was a breeze.
352
00:14:36,376 --> 00:14:38,042
[Sydney] Now,
the hard part starts.
353
00:14:38,044 --> 00:14:39,277
Now, we're moving up
to the next level.
354
00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:40,712
We got the guys up
on the scaffolding,
355
00:14:40,714 --> 00:14:41,779
and it's a little sketch.
356
00:14:41,814 --> 00:14:43,114
So we just really got to stay
on our toes,
357
00:14:43,116 --> 00:14:44,449
and make sure nobody falls off.
358
00:14:47,653 --> 00:14:49,220
It literally looks like a maze.
359
00:14:49,222 --> 00:14:51,689
So I'm putting in a whole
lot of trust in Dylan here.
360
00:14:51,691 --> 00:14:54,192
He's the one who is
calling out all the numbers.
361
00:14:54,194 --> 00:14:56,761
Where these bars need to go
and what direction
362
00:14:56,763 --> 00:14:58,096
I'm really hoping
that he's right
363
00:14:58,098 --> 00:15:00,131
because if we have one mess-up,
364
00:15:00,133 --> 00:15:02,667
I mean, we're probably gonna have
to take the whole thing down again.
365
00:15:02,669 --> 00:15:05,136
We've got five more pieces left.
366
00:15:05,138 --> 00:15:07,105
And then I think, hopefully,
367
00:15:07,107 --> 00:15:09,173
if we got all our numbers right
368
00:15:09,175 --> 00:15:10,208
and put it together right,
369
00:15:10,210 --> 00:15:11,242
we should be done.
370
00:15:11,777 --> 00:15:13,011
[Tim] Okay.
371
00:15:13,013 --> 00:15:14,779
[Aaron] So we're getting
to the very end,
372
00:15:14,781 --> 00:15:16,447
some pieces are not fitting.
373
00:15:16,449 --> 00:15:18,249
Scaffolding's shaking too.
374
00:15:18,251 --> 00:15:19,817
We're 20 feet in the air.
375
00:15:19,819 --> 00:15:21,018
But, we just got to brave it.
376
00:15:21,020 --> 00:15:23,388
[Sydney] Well, we're kinda at
a tense moment here.
377
00:15:23,390 --> 00:15:26,157
[Aaron] Tim, don't go back,
any more. Your foot's hanging off.
378
00:15:26,825 --> 00:15:27,525
[Tim] I don't like it.
379
00:15:27,527 --> 00:15:28,793
[Dylan] Y'all good?
380
00:15:28,795 --> 00:15:29,827
[Tim] Uh, I'll tell you what,
381
00:15:29,829 --> 00:15:32,030
we got a height situation here.
382
00:15:32,032 --> 00:15:34,065
- [Dylan] Yeah, step up higher.
- [Tim] Watch out, here.
383
00:15:35,067 --> 00:15:37,068
[Sydney] We're way out
in the boondocks here,
384
00:15:37,070 --> 00:15:38,803
we don't have a hospital nearby.
385
00:15:38,805 --> 00:15:40,405
Poor cell reception out here.
386
00:15:40,407 --> 00:15:41,839
[Sydney] Also, Aaron
doesn't have
387
00:15:41,841 --> 00:15:43,975
the best track record
with ladders.
388
00:15:43,977 --> 00:15:44,976
He's fallen off two,
389
00:15:44,978 --> 00:15:46,778
walked away
with a sprained ankle,
390
00:15:46,780 --> 00:15:48,279
messed up wrist.
391
00:15:48,281 --> 00:15:49,780
- That wasn't good.
- I'm okay.
392
00:15:49,782 --> 00:15:52,650
[Sydney] So, I'm really concerned
about him being that high up.
393
00:15:52,652 --> 00:15:55,453
[Tim] I might have to push up
on this to make this work.
394
00:15:55,455 --> 00:15:57,255
[Tim] Well, I'll tell you
what, this is real shaky.
395
00:15:59,291 --> 00:16:00,625
[grunts]
396
00:16:00,627 --> 00:16:01,859
[Tim] Okay, that's us.
397
00:16:01,861 --> 00:16:02,727
[Dylan] Is it tight?
398
00:16:05,698 --> 00:16:06,731
[Dylan] You'll need
one more piece,
399
00:16:06,832 --> 00:16:08,599
and you can connect
all the rest of 'em together.
400
00:16:09,868 --> 00:16:10,935
[Tim] I mean, that's beautiful.
401
00:16:10,937 --> 00:16:12,503
[Aaron] Let me get this up,
hold on.
402
00:16:12,505 --> 00:16:14,205
That is a tall son of a gun.
403
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,474
[Aaron] Right there, come on.
404
00:16:16,476 --> 00:16:18,076
[groans softly]
There we go.
405
00:16:18,078 --> 00:16:19,143
[Dylan] Last one.
406
00:16:20,079 --> 00:16:21,112
[Aaron] Cinch that cracker down.
407
00:16:21,114 --> 00:16:23,281
[Tim] Whoo,
you tighten her down.
408
00:16:23,283 --> 00:16:25,550
- Here we go guys, all right.
- [Tim] It's what we've been waiting on.
409
00:16:28,220 --> 00:16:29,287
[Tim] Awesome.
410
00:16:29,289 --> 00:16:30,655
[Tim] All right!
411
00:16:30,657 --> 00:16:33,257
- [all] Yeah.
- Awesome. Whoo.
412
00:16:33,259 --> 00:16:35,059
We finally get that
last piece in,
413
00:16:35,061 --> 00:16:36,427
and it feels so great.
414
00:16:36,429 --> 00:16:38,663
They did it,
I'm so proud of them.
415
00:16:38,665 --> 00:16:39,897
[Aaron] I can hang from this.
416
00:16:39,899 --> 00:16:41,666
- [Tim] Yeah, got this weight off of you.
- [Aaron] Yeah.
417
00:16:41,668 --> 00:16:43,434
[Aaron] Whoa, okay.
All right, that's enough.
418
00:16:43,436 --> 00:16:44,402
[Tim chuckles]
419
00:16:45,104 --> 00:16:46,137
We got the canvas tomorrow.
420
00:16:46,139 --> 00:16:47,638
[Tim] Yup.
421
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,140
[Sydney] Everybody's kinda
ready to go home and be done.
422
00:16:49,142 --> 00:16:51,976
And then tomorrow,
we get to do the canvas.
423
00:16:52,478 --> 00:16:53,911
Welcome to your dome home.
424
00:16:53,913 --> 00:16:54,379
[Aaron] All right.
425
00:16:54,381 --> 00:16:55,279
Wow.
426
00:17:00,052 --> 00:17:02,153
[blues music playing]
427
00:17:04,123 --> 00:17:04,956
[Sydney] All right, guys.
428
00:17:04,958 --> 00:17:06,391
Today we're putting the tarp on.
429
00:17:06,393 --> 00:17:08,659
I don't know exactly
how we're gonna do this.
430
00:17:08,661 --> 00:17:10,261
So we're gonna need
a lot of man power,
431
00:17:10,263 --> 00:17:11,462
a lot of muscles.
432
00:17:11,464 --> 00:17:12,663
- Hopefully, we're up for that challenge.
- [Sydney] Yeah.
433
00:17:12,665 --> 00:17:14,365
Today is our big day.
434
00:17:14,367 --> 00:17:16,267
It's probably gonna be
our hardest day.
435
00:17:16,269 --> 00:17:19,003
We're gonna take this
huge canvas
436
00:17:19,005 --> 00:17:20,972
and go over the dome
that we built.
437
00:17:20,974 --> 00:17:22,540
And we just gotta
really strategize
438
00:17:22,542 --> 00:17:23,875
and figure out how
to get this thing
439
00:17:23,877 --> 00:17:25,176
up as quickly as possible.
440
00:17:25,344 --> 00:17:26,310
[man] Oops.
441
00:17:27,379 --> 00:17:28,980
[Tim] My God, that thing
looks like a beast.
442
00:17:28,982 --> 00:17:30,114
[Dylan] Hmm.
443
00:17:30,116 --> 00:17:31,416
[Aaron] This thing is huge,
444
00:17:31,418 --> 00:17:33,284
it's over 300 pounds
445
00:17:33,286 --> 00:17:35,420
and it's really awkward too.
446
00:17:35,422 --> 00:17:37,388
[Tim] If this is the inside,
447
00:17:37,390 --> 00:17:39,390
the end of that's
gotta go up and over.
448
00:17:39,392 --> 00:17:40,391
It's gonna be
449
00:17:40,393 --> 00:17:41,626
quite the feat.
450
00:17:41,628 --> 00:17:42,660
Okay, so it's the top?
451
00:17:42,662 --> 00:17:44,062
[Tim] Well, let's say it is.
452
00:17:44,863 --> 00:17:46,564
[Tim] Not certain though.
453
00:17:47,966 --> 00:17:49,801
[Tim] It's not marked
"Top," is it?
454
00:17:49,803 --> 00:17:51,402
[Aaron] We realized right away
455
00:17:51,404 --> 00:17:53,604
that it was gonna be
a lot harder than we thought.
456
00:17:54,273 --> 00:17:55,306
[Sydney] Kinda unsure about
457
00:17:55,308 --> 00:17:57,075
how this is gonna work.
458
00:17:57,077 --> 00:17:58,676
Somebody want to put
a rope up on that end
459
00:17:58,678 --> 00:17:59,777
and pull it up and over?
460
00:17:59,779 --> 00:18:01,345
- [Dylan] Yeah.
- Okay.
461
00:18:01,347 --> 00:18:02,814
[Tim] I'm gonna
have to put a choker
462
00:18:02,816 --> 00:18:05,116
kind of rope on this
so we don't rip it.
463
00:18:05,118 --> 00:18:07,418
[Tim] So I'm gonna have to
tie it down here.
464
00:18:07,420 --> 00:18:09,287
[Aaron] We're trying to
put this tarp up
465
00:18:09,289 --> 00:18:11,456
and no instructions for it so...
466
00:18:11,990 --> 00:18:13,224
We're gonna hog-tie it,
467
00:18:13,226 --> 00:18:15,259
and then Dylan's gonna throw
that rope over.
468
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:17,662
And uh, we're just
gonna start pulling.
469
00:18:17,664 --> 00:18:19,330
[Tim] Yeah, we'll get all that
once we get it.
470
00:18:19,332 --> 00:18:20,331
[Aaron] Right here.
471
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,168
[Dylan] Sweet, okay,
that was, that's perfect.
472
00:18:26,038 --> 00:18:26,971
[Dylan] Let's go.
473
00:18:30,576 --> 00:18:31,876
[grunts]
474
00:18:34,213 --> 00:18:37,315
- [all grunts] - [Dylan] All
right, hold on, hold on, hold on.
475
00:18:37,317 --> 00:18:39,183
- Let's try it again, everybody.
- [Aaron] Yeah.
476
00:18:39,185 --> 00:18:40,084
[Sydney] All right.
477
00:18:40,419 --> 00:18:41,586
[Dylan] One, two, three.
478
00:18:42,654 --> 00:18:43,521
[all grunting]
479
00:18:43,523 --> 00:18:44,489
[Dylan] Pull it down.
480
00:18:45,424 --> 00:18:46,557
[straining]
481
00:18:48,627 --> 00:18:49,827
[Aaron] Pull that sucker.
482
00:18:49,829 --> 00:18:50,461
[Sydney] Pull it.
483
00:18:50,929 --> 00:18:51,996
[Tim] I'm pulling.
484
00:18:56,034 --> 00:18:57,201
[Dylan] There, it ain't pulling.
485
00:18:57,203 --> 00:18:58,569
[Dylan] That sucker is heavy.
486
00:18:58,571 --> 00:18:59,236
[Tim] I'm stuck.
487
00:18:59,238 --> 00:19:00,771
I can't do anything with it.
488
00:19:00,773 --> 00:19:03,307
- [Tim] I ain't got nothing to grab to my hands are so wet.
- [Sydney] I know.
489
00:19:03,309 --> 00:19:05,276
- I didn't realize how hard it was gonna be.
- [Aaron] Yeah.
490
00:19:05,278 --> 00:19:06,544
And it is so hot out here.
491
00:19:09,081 --> 00:19:10,781
So this is just
considerably heavier
492
00:19:10,783 --> 00:19:13,017
um, than we even thought
it was gonna be.
493
00:19:13,019 --> 00:19:14,118
[Sydney] We're all
drenched in sweat,
494
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:15,853
we're already exhausted.
495
00:19:15,855 --> 00:19:17,221
At this point,
I don't even know if we're
496
00:19:17,223 --> 00:19:18,322
gonna be able to get it up.
497
00:19:18,324 --> 00:19:20,258
[Aaron] We gotta come up
with another plan.
498
00:19:23,929 --> 00:19:26,063
[blues instrumental playing]
499
00:19:30,235 --> 00:19:31,369
[Aaron] Pull that sucker.
500
00:19:31,371 --> 00:19:32,336
[Sydney] Pull it.
501
00:19:32,338 --> 00:19:33,337
[Tim] I'm pulling.
502
00:19:36,108 --> 00:19:37,341
[Dylan] There it ain't pulling.
503
00:19:37,343 --> 00:19:38,876
- [Aaron] God.
- [Dylan] That sucker is heavy.
504
00:19:38,878 --> 00:19:39,744
[Tim] I'm stuck.
505
00:19:39,746 --> 00:19:41,179
I can't do anything with it.
506
00:19:41,181 --> 00:19:42,847
[Sydney] At this point,
I don't even know
507
00:19:42,849 --> 00:19:44,048
if we're gonna be able
to get it up.
508
00:19:45,184 --> 00:19:46,384
[Aaron] Oh boy.
509
00:19:46,386 --> 00:19:47,485
[Dylan] "Oh, boy" is right.
510
00:19:50,189 --> 00:19:51,155
[Aaron] That is strange.
511
00:19:51,523 --> 00:19:52,356
[man] Yeah.
512
00:19:55,627 --> 00:19:56,494
[Tim] Y'all ready?
513
00:19:56,496 --> 00:19:57,461
[Tim] All right, guys.
514
00:19:58,330 --> 00:19:59,230
[Tim] Pull it.
515
00:19:59,498 --> 00:20:01,165
[straining]
516
00:20:01,167 --> 00:20:03,634
God, it's too heavy.
517
00:20:03,636 --> 00:20:06,270
We thought we had the muscle
for it, but obviously we don't.
518
00:20:06,272 --> 00:20:08,306
Time for a new game strategy.
519
00:20:08,308 --> 00:20:11,809
I'm gonna go get the tractor. See
if that won't make it easier. Okay?
520
00:20:11,811 --> 00:20:14,145
- Yeah, we're gonna try something different.
- All right.
521
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,048
[Sydney] The tarp's
way too heavy for us.
522
00:20:17,050 --> 00:20:18,916
We're just not gonna
be able to handle it.
523
00:20:18,918 --> 00:20:21,819
Thankfully, Tim does have
a tractor to lift up the bulk of it
524
00:20:21,821 --> 00:20:23,254
so we can have a
little bit more leverage,
525
00:20:23,256 --> 00:20:25,656
but he's not really close
to where we're at.
526
00:20:25,658 --> 00:20:28,259
We're out way in the country,
and so it's just really putting us
527
00:20:28,261 --> 00:20:29,627
behind schedule again.
528
00:20:39,271 --> 00:20:42,073
[Sydney] It took a while
for Tim to get back here,
529
00:20:42,075 --> 00:20:45,176
but we're just anxious to kind
of see how this process unfolds.
530
00:20:45,178 --> 00:20:49,013
Typically, people would just call in a
crane, but we're way out in the woods.
531
00:20:49,015 --> 00:20:50,648
Nothing like that can
make it up here.
532
00:20:50,650 --> 00:20:52,250
Best we've got is a tractor.
533
00:20:52,252 --> 00:20:53,751
- [Tim] All right.
- [Dylan] All right, Aaron.
534
00:20:53,753 --> 00:20:55,319
All right, I'm gonna lift up
on it, guys.
535
00:20:55,321 --> 00:20:57,822
Just watch it and make sure it
doesn't hang on anything.
536
00:20:57,824 --> 00:20:59,190
- Okay.
- [tractor starting]
537
00:21:01,994 --> 00:21:02,994
[Aaron] Tim and his tractor...
538
00:21:02,996 --> 00:21:04,629
Looking good.
539
00:21:04,631 --> 00:21:07,999
he's gonna lift that canvas up,
and hopefully, that's gonna bring
540
00:21:08,001 --> 00:21:10,234
a few hundred pounds
off of our load.
541
00:21:11,937 --> 00:21:14,105
- [Aaron] That's good right there. Stay right there.
- [Dylan] Right there. Whoa.
542
00:21:14,107 --> 00:21:16,207
Let's see if we can pull it up.
543
00:21:16,209 --> 00:21:19,110
[Tim] Now that we got the
weight lifted up with the tractor,
544
00:21:19,112 --> 00:21:22,313
we're gonna see if we
can get it to slide up.
545
00:21:22,315 --> 00:21:24,282
- [Dylan] It's gonna work. Three.
- [Tim] Three.
546
00:21:31,023 --> 00:21:34,191
[both grunting]
547
00:21:34,193 --> 00:21:36,560
- [Sydney] Look at all these.
- [Dylan] It's like it's not even wanting to go at all.
548
00:21:36,562 --> 00:21:38,896
- [Dylan] It ain't moving at all down there.
- [Aaron] It's not budging.
549
00:21:38,898 --> 00:21:42,233
[Sydney] There was literally no
inch of a movement with this canvas.
550
00:21:42,235 --> 00:21:45,236
Nothing is budging, so we're
gonna try to just, uh, regroup
551
00:21:45,238 --> 00:21:47,705
and kind of come up
with another game plan.
552
00:21:47,707 --> 00:21:49,307
- [Aaron] I got another idea.
- [Dylan] Yeah?
553
00:21:49,309 --> 00:21:53,411
In each section, pushing up
until it folds over
554
00:21:53,413 --> 00:21:55,880
and we just go to the
next rung and pull it up.
555
00:21:55,882 --> 00:21:57,415
- All the way around?
- All the way around.
556
00:21:57,417 --> 00:21:59,517
- Oh, yeah.
- And just keep feeding it through.
557
00:21:59,519 --> 00:22:01,052
[Dylan] That would work.
558
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:05,022
[Sydney] Unfortunately, we had
to decide just to ditch the tractor
559
00:22:05,024 --> 00:22:07,792
and so now what we're gonna
have to do is just inch by inch,
560
00:22:07,794 --> 00:22:10,661
take this canvas and go
triangle by triangle.
561
00:22:10,663 --> 00:22:12,797
[Aaron] We're just gonna
use good old manpower.
562
00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:17,234
It's kind of like putting a twin-sized
cover on a California King.
563
00:22:20,305 --> 00:22:22,006
I think we've got it
right here, Dylan.
564
00:22:22,008 --> 00:22:24,241
Can you get her hung and
pull down and around?
565
00:22:24,243 --> 00:22:26,644
- [Dylan] You ready?
- [Tim] One, two, three.
566
00:22:27,579 --> 00:22:28,746
- Do it again.
- [grunts]
567
00:22:28,813 --> 00:22:32,249
-[Dylan] All right. One, two, three.
-[Tim] Two, three.
568
00:22:32,251 --> 00:22:36,854
[Aaron] This is the final kind of
pulls, but it's the hardest ones for sure.
569
00:22:36,856 --> 00:22:39,557
We're so close, just a
few feet away. I'm worn out.
570
00:22:39,559 --> 00:22:41,459
But we're gonna power
through and get it done.
571
00:22:41,461 --> 00:22:43,627
[Tim] All right, one more
time. One, two, three.
572
00:22:43,629 --> 00:22:45,363
[all straining]
573
00:22:45,365 --> 00:22:47,098
- [Tim] That's us.
- [Aaron] That's it.
574
00:22:47,100 --> 00:22:48,599
- [Sydney] That's it?
- [Tim] That's perfect.
575
00:22:48,601 --> 00:22:49,967
- [Dylan] I like it.
- [Sydney] Is it in?
576
00:22:49,969 --> 00:22:52,203
[Tim] Just look at it. That looks
good. I was worried. [laughing]
577
00:22:52,205 --> 00:22:55,272
-[Sydney] Yeah, me too. Thank you. Wow.
-[Tim] It's awesome.
578
00:22:55,274 --> 00:22:56,607
This looks incredible, guys.
579
00:22:56,609 --> 00:22:58,209
[Tim] I like it.
Got a house.
580
00:22:58,211 --> 00:23:01,946
[Aaron] Finally got it into
place and it looks beautiful.
581
00:23:01,948 --> 00:23:04,749
[Sydney] It's larger than
life. It's more than I expected.
582
00:23:04,751 --> 00:23:06,984
Honestly, I can't believe
we're gonna live here.
583
00:23:12,824 --> 00:23:17,361
[Aaron] Hurricane Ida came through
yesterday, so we've got a lot of rain.
584
00:23:17,363 --> 00:23:21,599
It sounds really cool
in this dome, but, uh,
585
00:23:21,601 --> 00:23:24,135
ready to get those
doors and windows in.
586
00:23:29,608 --> 00:23:34,378
So it rained for two days and
we get to the site, and it's flooded.
587
00:23:34,380 --> 00:23:37,515
[Sydney] There's mud everywhere.
And we even have puddles on the tarp.
588
00:23:39,084 --> 00:23:41,285
Oh my gosh.
589
00:23:41,287 --> 00:23:43,220
[Aaron] And puddles
inside the dome.
590
00:23:43,222 --> 00:23:47,091
It was the first big rain for
the dome, and it did not pass.
591
00:23:47,093 --> 00:23:50,561
So we've gotta find a way
to get this thing watertight.
592
00:23:50,563 --> 00:23:52,163
[Sydney] I just don't know
what we're gonna do.
593
00:24:00,205 --> 00:24:04,775
[Aaron] So it rained for two days,
we get to the site, and it's flooded.
594
00:24:04,777 --> 00:24:08,746
It was the first big rain for
the dome, and it did not pass.
595
00:24:08,748 --> 00:24:12,082
So we've gotta find a way
to get this thing watertight.
596
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,023
All right, honey. We've got this rope
to run all the way around the dome,
597
00:24:19,025 --> 00:24:22,827
all the way through the canvas and make
sure this thing is good and locked down.
598
00:24:22,829 --> 00:24:25,129
- Think you can help me?
- So no more gushers in our... our house?
599
00:24:25,131 --> 00:24:27,998
- [Aaron] Yes. No more rain and no more bugs.
- [Sydney] Mm.
600
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,302
First thing we have to get
done today is to secure the tarp.
601
00:24:31,304 --> 00:24:34,705
That way, we don't have to hit any
more flooding issues inside of this dome.
602
00:24:34,707 --> 00:24:36,907
So we've got
a lot of lacing to do.
603
00:24:36,909 --> 00:24:38,642
- [Sydney] Run...
- [Aaron] Start it right there, yes,
604
00:24:38,644 --> 00:24:41,078
and we'll run it all
the way through,
605
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,280
and it needs to go
underneath the pole.
606
00:24:43,282 --> 00:24:45,216
Yeah.
607
00:24:45,218 --> 00:24:48,953
So it will feed through
here. This might take...
608
00:24:48,955 --> 00:24:50,754
- [Aaron] This could take a while.
- [Sydney] 20 years.
609
00:24:50,756 --> 00:24:52,590
I don't have 20
years. [laughing]
610
00:24:52,592 --> 00:24:55,359
[Sydney] We're already noticing
that this rope and securing process
611
00:24:55,361 --> 00:24:58,162
is gonna take a lot longer
than we actually anticipated.
612
00:24:58,164 --> 00:25:00,531
Man, yeah. This is
like shoelaces.
613
00:25:00,533 --> 00:25:02,967
You know when you're trying to
get your tennis shoes to fit on right?
614
00:25:03,034 --> 00:25:04,301
Yes.
615
00:25:04,303 --> 00:25:06,837
Okay, so the first
five or six done.
616
00:25:06,839 --> 00:25:10,074
- [Sydney] And now only about 500 left.
- [Aaron] Mm-hmm.
617
00:25:15,013 --> 00:25:19,116
-[Sydney] We have one left?
-[Aaron] One left, all right. Let's tie a knot in it.
618
00:25:19,118 --> 00:25:21,919
- [Sydney] Okay. All right.
- [Aaron] All right.
619
00:25:21,921 --> 00:25:23,888
- [Sydney] You getting that?
- [Aaron] Yeah, hon.
620
00:25:23,890 --> 00:25:26,457
- [Aaron] This is the water knot.
- [Sydney] Yeah, yeah. Perfect.
621
00:25:26,459 --> 00:25:28,826
- [Aaron] Nice. Okay.
- [Sydney] And that's it.
622
00:25:28,828 --> 00:25:30,193
Phew, that took forever.
623
00:25:30,195 --> 00:25:33,464
- No more water in the house, baby.
- No more water in the house.
624
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,036
Now we're just looking forward to maybe
actually getting some work done today.
625
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:46,644
- Ready on three.
- All right, let's put this wall up.
626
00:25:46,646 --> 00:25:48,078
One, two, three. All right.
627
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,279
[Dylan grunting]
628
00:25:50,849 --> 00:25:52,616
[Sydney] Okay, a little
uneven, but that's no big deal.
629
00:25:52,618 --> 00:25:54,752
[Tim] Okay. I'm gonna slide it
back from this mark, Dylan.
630
00:25:54,754 --> 00:25:57,388
- [Sydney] Nice.
- [Tim] Bring it back towards me about two inches.
631
00:25:57,390 --> 00:25:59,323
Okay, there you go.
That's close enough.
632
00:25:59,325 --> 00:26:02,826
[Sydney] We finally get to
start on framing the actual bones
633
00:26:02,828 --> 00:26:04,728
and structure of the
inside of the house,
634
00:26:04,730 --> 00:26:07,331
so I'm really looking forward to
that, because it's really gonna help me
635
00:26:07,333 --> 00:26:10,968
visualize where things are gonna
be, how it's gonna come to life.
636
00:26:10,970 --> 00:26:12,636
- [Tim] All right.
- [Sydney] All right?
637
00:26:12,638 --> 00:26:17,608
- [Sydney] Okay.
- [Tim] Okay. Show me some chalk. There you go.
638
00:26:18,543 --> 00:26:20,611
- Put a tack in it.
- [nail gun fires]
639
00:26:20,613 --> 00:26:23,380
Awesome work, guys.
It looks great.
640
00:26:23,382 --> 00:26:27,418
-Walls go quick, don't they? Walls go quick, there you go.
-[nail gun fires]
641
00:26:27,420 --> 00:26:29,086
So what do you think?
How does it look?
642
00:26:29,088 --> 00:26:30,888
It looks straight so far.
643
00:26:30,890 --> 00:26:32,723
It's starting to feel like
a home. We got a few walls.
644
00:26:32,725 --> 00:26:35,059
[cheering] We got walls!
645
00:26:40,031 --> 00:26:42,967
So now we get to actually
install our windows.
646
00:26:42,969 --> 00:26:46,170
The windows have actually been
sitting outside in their packaging
647
00:26:46,172 --> 00:26:50,274
for several months now, and we're
not really sure what's inside of that.
648
00:26:50,276 --> 00:26:52,242
I mean, especially with all
the rain that we've had,
649
00:26:52,244 --> 00:26:55,479
all the leaves and stuff,
but also all the critters.
650
00:26:55,481 --> 00:26:59,717
Um, you cut it open because it
does look like there's something...
651
00:26:59,719 --> 00:27:01,619
- Living in there?
- Living in there.
652
00:27:01,621 --> 00:27:03,787
Oh, yeah. He's right there.
You want me to get him out first?
653
00:27:03,789 --> 00:27:06,790
I think there's actually maybe
several things living in there, so.
654
00:27:06,792 --> 00:27:08,792
[Aaron] So in one of the
windows, we open it up
655
00:27:08,794 --> 00:27:11,528
and there's a couple
of friends in there.
656
00:27:11,530 --> 00:27:16,433
And it didn't really bother me,
but somebody is not liking them.
657
00:27:18,203 --> 00:27:22,006
You find anything in there?
Do you see it? Is it there?
658
00:27:22,273 --> 00:27:24,141
- No.
- Yeah.
659
00:27:24,143 --> 00:27:27,945
No. He... [high-pitched] there's
several more in there. Okay.
660
00:27:27,947 --> 00:27:30,714
Aaron opens this thing up. There
are two Granddaddy Longlegs,
661
00:27:30,716 --> 00:27:33,017
one of whom is on a centipede,
millipede, some kinda 'pede,
662
00:27:33,019 --> 00:27:34,785
I'm not really sure
what's going on.
663
00:27:34,787 --> 00:27:36,820
Oh, and they're all together!
Yeah, they're in there together.
664
00:27:36,822 --> 00:27:38,622
[Aaron] Oh, it's a centipede.
665
00:27:38,624 --> 00:27:41,291
They don't look like they're having a
good time. I'm not having a good time.
666
00:27:41,293 --> 00:27:43,761
So I'm gonna let Aaron
have the reins on this one.
667
00:27:43,763 --> 00:27:45,629
You're gonna leave
him in there? Wrong.
668
00:27:45,631 --> 00:27:47,831
He can live with us.
Titus will love him.
669
00:27:47,833 --> 00:27:49,033
[Sydney] But I said no.
670
00:27:49,035 --> 00:27:51,101
See, I didn't sign up
for all of the bugs.
671
00:27:51,103 --> 00:27:55,205
[Aaron] We get rid of all of the
bugs, and now it's time to get to work.
672
00:27:55,207 --> 00:27:56,907
[exhales]
Okay, it's over with.
673
00:27:56,909 --> 00:27:57,875
[Aaron] All right,
enough playing.
674
00:28:01,012 --> 00:28:04,081
We have five triangle
and two porthole windows.
675
00:28:04,083 --> 00:28:06,650
- Are you ready to get this one up?
- Yeah.
676
00:28:06,652 --> 00:28:09,319
I'm really excited. It's gonna
let in a lot of sunlight.
677
00:28:09,788 --> 00:28:11,622
- Let's get it up.
- All right.
678
00:28:11,624 --> 00:28:14,391
[Dylan] All right, let's get this
window in. It's the first one,
679
00:28:14,393 --> 00:28:17,628
we're just gonna tack it up
here and see how she fits in.
680
00:28:18,396 --> 00:28:20,464
Good job, guys.
681
00:28:22,667 --> 00:28:24,034
How we feeling here?
682
00:28:24,903 --> 00:28:26,036
A little shaky.
683
00:28:26,038 --> 00:28:28,706
Did I mention that I hate
being up here on these?
684
00:28:28,708 --> 00:28:30,307
[Sydney] You're
doing good, Dylan.
685
00:28:30,309 --> 00:28:32,409
- Turn this...
- Lefty loosey, righty tighty.
686
00:28:34,379 --> 00:28:36,013
Y'all tell me when it
looks straight down there.
687
00:28:36,015 --> 00:28:37,881
That's it. That's it.
688
00:28:37,883 --> 00:28:39,049
- [Dylan] You like it?
- [Aaron] Ooh.
689
00:28:39,051 --> 00:28:40,884
-[Sydney] All right! I like it.
-[Dylan] You like it?
690
00:28:40,886 --> 00:28:43,020
- All right. All right, all right, all right.
- Looking straight.
691
00:28:43,022 --> 00:28:45,355
[Aaron] So we placed the
windows and they look great.
692
00:28:45,357 --> 00:28:47,224
We got a window.
693
00:28:54,265 --> 00:28:57,968
So today we have a set of
French doors they're gorgeous.
694
00:28:57,970 --> 00:29:02,439
The only issue is that we have to get
them up this hill in my mom's minivan.
695
00:29:02,441 --> 00:29:04,141
Okay, easy does it.
696
00:29:04,143 --> 00:29:07,845
So we have to use this minivan today
because it is the only vehicle large enough
697
00:29:07,847 --> 00:29:11,048
to fit these two double doors, and I'm
really just hoping it makes it up the hill.
698
00:29:11,050 --> 00:29:13,150
This hill that's already
been rain-washed,
699
00:29:13,152 --> 00:29:16,386
and so the traction's not that
great, the gravel's really uneven,
700
00:29:16,388 --> 00:29:19,123
especially with all the rain
that we've had recently.
701
00:29:19,758 --> 00:29:21,024
Okay, let's go grab that door.
702
00:29:21,026 --> 00:29:22,926
- Put your seatbelt on, too.
- Yeah, you too.
703
00:29:22,928 --> 00:29:27,164
I pretty much had to start
this at the road and punch it.
704
00:29:29,067 --> 00:29:30,567
- Are you ready?
- I don't know.
705
00:29:32,771 --> 00:29:35,105
Oh, my gosh. You're
actually going that fast.
706
00:29:35,107 --> 00:29:38,041
Sydney's kinda freaking
out as soon as I punch it,
707
00:29:38,043 --> 00:29:41,245
and I knew going around that
curve, it was gonna get a lot worse.
708
00:29:41,247 --> 00:29:43,413
Oh my gosh, I think
I'm gonna throw up.
709
00:29:43,415 --> 00:29:45,249
- Come on, baby.
- No, no.
710
00:29:45,251 --> 00:29:47,251
- Come on, front wheel drive.
- No.
711
00:29:47,253 --> 00:29:48,652
And I don't think
it's gonna make it.
712
00:29:48,654 --> 00:29:51,522
I'm so nervous, I'm so
nervous, I can't even watch.
713
00:30:05,003 --> 00:30:07,971
I'm so nervous. I'm so
nervous, I can't even watch.
714
00:30:07,973 --> 00:30:10,574
This is like worse
than a roller coaster.
715
00:30:10,576 --> 00:30:12,109
[Aaron] Starting to get
close to that curve
716
00:30:12,111 --> 00:30:14,778
where you kind of have to rack
it to the side and miss some rock,
717
00:30:14,780 --> 00:30:17,181
and I don't think
it's gonna make it.
718
00:30:17,183 --> 00:30:20,651
[Sydney] The tires are just spinning and
spinning and we're not going anywhere.
719
00:30:22,654 --> 00:30:24,888
- [Sydney] Are we stuck?
- [Aaron] We're stuck.
720
00:30:24,890 --> 00:30:26,256
Sadly, we didn't make it.
721
00:30:26,258 --> 00:30:27,658
[Aaron] Looks like
we're walking.
722
00:30:28,026 --> 00:30:29,026
[sighing]
723
00:30:29,028 --> 00:30:30,160
Not enough horsepower.
724
00:30:30,162 --> 00:30:32,062
We're stuck in this gravel.
725
00:30:32,064 --> 00:30:34,164
We have got two solid wood doors
726
00:30:34,166 --> 00:30:35,399
to carry up that hill.
727
00:30:35,401 --> 00:30:37,234
[Sydney] We're just gonna
have to take them out
728
00:30:37,236 --> 00:30:38,468
and carry them one by one.
729
00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:40,337
Muscle 'em up to the dome.
730
00:30:40,339 --> 00:30:41,939
[grunts]
731
00:30:41,941 --> 00:30:43,006
[Sydney] Okay.
732
00:30:43,008 --> 00:30:45,976
My concern is that they are
exceedingly heavy.
733
00:30:45,978 --> 00:30:47,144
[Aaron] All right,
big step, baby.
734
00:30:47,146 --> 00:30:48,445
[Sydney] Yep. Big step.
735
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,314
Big muscles.
736
00:30:52,383 --> 00:30:54,585
- [Aaron] All right, let's go get the other one.
- [Sydney] One more.
737
00:30:56,287 --> 00:30:58,155
We're never moving
out of this house.
738
00:30:58,157 --> 00:30:59,456
[groaning] Okay.
739
00:31:00,825 --> 00:31:02,392
Ugh, have mercy.
740
00:31:02,394 --> 00:31:05,262
So we've got both doors up,
and were gonna see
741
00:31:05,264 --> 00:31:06,830
how that beautiful green looks
742
00:31:06,832 --> 00:31:08,265
against our white dome.
743
00:31:09,500 --> 00:31:11,401
[Sydney] That doesn't
make me feel happy.
744
00:31:12,003 --> 00:31:13,937
They look too big.
745
00:31:13,939 --> 00:31:15,639
[Aaron] Yeah,
they look a little big.
746
00:31:15,641 --> 00:31:17,941
[Sydney] So we finally
get these doors up to the dome
747
00:31:17,943 --> 00:31:20,410
and they don't fit.
748
00:31:20,412 --> 00:31:21,945
We measured incorrectly.
749
00:31:21,947 --> 00:31:22,946
So what are we gonna do.
750
00:31:22,948 --> 00:31:25,082
A solution would be,
751
00:31:25,084 --> 00:31:27,184
instead of doing
French doors right here,
752
00:31:27,186 --> 00:31:29,052
we just do one door there.
753
00:31:29,054 --> 00:31:33,056
We can just have a nice little
wood siding on each side.
754
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,058
I need to sleep on that.
755
00:31:35,060 --> 00:31:38,996
So honestly, I'm not that
excited about separating them.
756
00:31:38,998 --> 00:31:40,731
I mean, they're French doors,
they're meant to be together.
757
00:31:40,733 --> 00:31:42,032
I like that.
But at this point,
758
00:31:42,034 --> 00:31:43,901
we're gonna kinda have to see
'cause were on a time crunch.
759
00:31:43,903 --> 00:31:45,836
Maybe we'll just do
a bug screen instead.
760
00:31:45,838 --> 00:31:47,170
We're not in the jungle, Aaron.
761
00:31:47,172 --> 00:31:48,639
[Aaron] We'll figure it out.
762
00:31:55,380 --> 00:31:58,215
[Sydney] So over the last few
weeks, we have made a lot of progress.
763
00:31:58,217 --> 00:32:00,550
We have got the floor laid.
We got the dry wall up.
764
00:32:02,186 --> 00:32:05,289
And we have put in
the bathroom tile.
765
00:32:05,291 --> 00:32:08,425
[Aaron] All right, so we got
a good amount of this done.
766
00:32:08,427 --> 00:32:10,193
Think we're about half way.
767
00:32:10,195 --> 00:32:11,895
So let's just keep going,
768
00:32:11,897 --> 00:32:13,664
and putting these
puzzle pieces together.
769
00:32:13,666 --> 00:32:16,667
We have this really
incredible rock wall idea.
770
00:32:16,669 --> 00:32:19,436
The idea is to kind of have
three mountain peaks with it.
771
00:32:19,438 --> 00:32:20,771
We've already gotten it started,
772
00:32:20,773 --> 00:32:22,372
but it is like a puzzle,
so it's kind of taking
773
00:32:22,374 --> 00:32:24,174
a bit longer
than we anticipated.
774
00:32:25,410 --> 00:32:26,843
- Okay.
- [Aaron] All right.
775
00:32:26,845 --> 00:32:28,478
We have to put on the glue.
776
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:29,579
Give me two beads on there.
777
00:32:29,581 --> 00:32:30,480
Yeah.
778
00:32:30,482 --> 00:32:33,183
Look at that,
could have been a layman.
779
00:32:33,185 --> 00:32:34,651
Slap those rocks on.
780
00:32:34,653 --> 00:32:36,119
Give it a good whack.
781
00:32:36,121 --> 00:32:37,120
Yep.
782
00:32:37,122 --> 00:32:38,889
Put some shims in to hold it,
783
00:32:38,891 --> 00:32:40,357
and just pray.
784
00:32:40,359 --> 00:32:41,491
[Aaron] Okay, you're good.
785
00:32:41,493 --> 00:32:42,459
[Sydney] Okay.
786
00:32:43,027 --> 00:32:45,095
[exclaims] Hey!
787
00:32:45,097 --> 00:32:47,631
All right, it's starting
to look like a mountain.
788
00:32:47,633 --> 00:32:51,902
So it is. Okay, so only
987 more rocks to go.
789
00:32:51,904 --> 00:32:53,136
[Aaron] Give or take.
790
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,810
[Tim] And get... this one.
Push up. Okay.
791
00:32:59,812 --> 00:33:01,945
[Aaron] The canvas is finally
stretched enough
792
00:33:01,947 --> 00:33:03,947
for us to cut the canvas
for the window.
793
00:33:03,949 --> 00:33:06,450
It's a little nerve-wracking
trying to put a hole
794
00:33:06,452 --> 00:33:07,951
into this beautiful canvas.
795
00:33:07,953 --> 00:33:09,319
Guys, please be careful.
796
00:33:09,321 --> 00:33:10,787
[Tim] That looks
really good, right there.
797
00:33:10,789 --> 00:33:11,922
[Aaron] Okay.
798
00:33:11,924 --> 00:33:14,992
So we need to draw a circle
around the window,
799
00:33:14,994 --> 00:33:16,426
and then start to cut it.
800
00:33:16,428 --> 00:33:19,229
I hate to cut a hole
in a perfectly good house.
801
00:33:19,231 --> 00:33:21,231
[Sydney] Oh, gosh.
802
00:33:21,233 --> 00:33:22,332
[Tim] Here we go.
803
00:33:22,334 --> 00:33:24,835
There's a lot of pressure
for Tim to get this right.
804
00:33:24,837 --> 00:33:26,970
[Aaron] I'm gonna give you
some pressure, okay?
805
00:33:26,972 --> 00:33:28,872
[Sydney] Oh, my gosh.
[nervous laughter]
806
00:33:28,874 --> 00:33:29,873
Watching Tim cut this window,
807
00:33:29,875 --> 00:33:31,875
I'm a little bit panicky inside.
808
00:33:31,877 --> 00:33:33,710
If this cut
doesn't go correctly,
809
00:33:33,712 --> 00:33:35,212
there's no way to fix it.
810
00:33:35,214 --> 00:33:37,214
I mean, it's not like we can just
go, you know, to the local store
811
00:33:37,216 --> 00:33:38,548
or even order it online.
812
00:33:40,184 --> 00:33:41,651
[Sydney exclaiming]
All right!
813
00:33:41,886 --> 00:33:43,219
[Tim] All right.
814
00:33:43,221 --> 00:33:45,288
- [Sydney] Wow, that lets in a lot of light.
- [Tim] Only window.
815
00:33:45,290 --> 00:33:48,058
[Sydney] We're hoping that
the window fits perfectly.
816
00:33:48,893 --> 00:33:51,161
Okay, okay. Moment of truth.
817
00:33:51,163 --> 00:33:52,629
Okay, let go of it.
818
00:33:53,031 --> 00:33:54,064
[Tim] That's it.
819
00:33:54,066 --> 00:33:55,165
- [gasps] It's in?
- [Aaron] Got it?
820
00:33:55,167 --> 00:33:55,999
- Voila.
- [Aaron] Sweet!
821
00:33:56,001 --> 00:33:57,534
We got a porthole window!
822
00:34:03,007 --> 00:34:06,243
Tim, we didn't get our French
doors that my wife wanted,
823
00:34:06,245 --> 00:34:08,812
but I'm glad we were able
to repurpose this door.
824
00:34:08,814 --> 00:34:10,547
Instead of having French doors,
825
00:34:10,549 --> 00:34:12,416
we're just gonna take
one door for the front.
826
00:34:12,418 --> 00:34:15,352
Tim has actually come up
with the idea of encasing it.
827
00:34:15,354 --> 00:34:17,187
And he took it to his workshop,
828
00:34:17,189 --> 00:34:19,256
made all the beautiful parts.
829
00:34:19,258 --> 00:34:21,224
[Tim] Slide it over,
and fit it between these.
830
00:34:21,226 --> 00:34:22,526
Two 2x10s.
831
00:34:22,528 --> 00:34:23,960
We'll, we'll line it up.
832
00:34:23,962 --> 00:34:26,129
Then I'll go out here
and put a screw in it.
833
00:34:26,131 --> 00:34:29,299
Now, we're actually gonna have
the dome fully sealed.
834
00:34:29,301 --> 00:34:31,568
[Tim] Push the top all the way
to where it hits the wood.
835
00:34:33,638 --> 00:34:35,038
Good.
836
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,106
[drilling]
837
00:34:36,108 --> 00:34:37,974
Okay, nice and smooth.
838
00:34:41,179 --> 00:34:43,346
Now, let's check
our door and see.
839
00:34:43,348 --> 00:34:48,185
- See how it shuts.
- Now we need to manipulate it to get it perfectly square.
840
00:34:48,553 --> 00:34:50,153
Wow, that hit good.
841
00:34:50,155 --> 00:34:50,954
Yeah.
842
00:34:50,956 --> 00:34:51,955
[Tim] Nice.
843
00:34:51,957 --> 00:34:53,790
That is already lined up.
844
00:34:53,792 --> 00:34:56,026
- Nice and tight, all the way around.
- [Tim] Awesome.
845
00:34:56,861 --> 00:34:58,929
I finally see the end of this.
846
00:34:58,931 --> 00:35:00,564
- [Tim] Okay, you're ready?
- [Aaron] Yep, go.
847
00:35:01,132 --> 00:35:01,832
All right.
848
00:35:01,834 --> 00:35:03,300
I get to cook on this!
849
00:35:03,302 --> 00:35:05,335
- [Aaron] Yes, right.
- In my cast iron!
850
00:35:07,405 --> 00:35:08,338
[Sydney] She in there?
851
00:35:08,340 --> 00:35:09,239
[Tim] Now we're
collecting energy.
852
00:35:09,241 --> 00:35:10,941
Look at that!
853
00:35:10,943 --> 00:35:13,210
[Aaron] It's gonna be a lot
of long days, long nights
854
00:35:13,212 --> 00:35:14,311
to be able to get this done,
855
00:35:14,313 --> 00:35:16,079
but I think
we're gonna get there.
856
00:35:16,081 --> 00:35:19,015
Yeah, it's gonna be so worth
it to finally be in our home.
857
00:35:28,192 --> 00:35:30,026
[Sydney] The dome
is finally finished,
858
00:35:30,028 --> 00:35:32,662
and we are overjoyed about it.
859
00:35:32,664 --> 00:35:35,232
We're so excited
to finally have our home,
860
00:35:35,234 --> 00:35:38,301
to establish a new life here
together as a family.
861
00:35:38,303 --> 00:35:40,637
[Aaron] It's more beautiful
than I ever thought,
862
00:35:40,639 --> 00:35:44,241
and I cannot wait to enjoy it.
863
00:35:44,243 --> 00:35:47,344
So our original timeline
was five weeks.
864
00:35:47,346 --> 00:35:49,079
Maybe that was a little...
865
00:35:49,081 --> 00:35:50,213
Ambitious? [chuckles]
866
00:35:50,215 --> 00:35:51,448
Yeah.
867
00:35:51,450 --> 00:35:54,151
And it ended up
about two months.
868
00:35:54,153 --> 00:35:57,220
We were originally gonna spend
about $55,000,
869
00:35:57,222 --> 00:35:59,122
and I'm counting over 70,
870
00:35:59,124 --> 00:36:00,991
but, you know what,
we're debt-free.
871
00:36:00,993 --> 00:36:02,225
It's the way to be.
872
00:36:03,027 --> 00:36:06,196
- [group exclaiming]
- Hey, guys!
873
00:36:06,198 --> 00:36:08,198
- [Nathan] This is amazing.
- [Sydney] Welcome, welcome!
874
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,767
[Sydney] So today, Nathan,
Robin, and Marley
875
00:36:10,769 --> 00:36:12,035
are coming up from Atlanta,
876
00:36:12,037 --> 00:36:14,304
and they're really
outside the box like we are,
877
00:36:14,306 --> 00:36:15,438
so we're really looking forward
878
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,407
to seeing their reactions.
879
00:36:17,409 --> 00:36:19,142
[Robin] I cannot believe this,
880
00:36:19,144 --> 00:36:20,577
it's so much bigger
than I thought!
881
00:36:20,579 --> 00:36:22,913
[Nathan] It's huge in
comparison to what I thought,
882
00:36:22,915 --> 00:36:24,915
- I didn't know you were moving into a spaceship.
- [Aaron] Yep!
883
00:36:24,917 --> 00:36:27,050
- [Sydney] Hi!
- This is, uh, very spacious.
884
00:36:27,052 --> 00:36:28,919
- [Sydney] Yeah!
- It's amazing.
885
00:36:28,921 --> 00:36:30,287
We can't wait to show you
the inside too.
886
00:36:30,289 --> 00:36:31,221
We worked super hard on it.
887
00:36:31,223 --> 00:36:32,489
[Nathan] It's pretty awesome.
888
00:36:32,491 --> 00:36:34,057
[Aaron] All right,
let's go check it out.
889
00:36:34,059 --> 00:36:35,258
- [Sydney] Yeah.
- [Nathan] Let's go.
890
00:36:35,260 --> 00:36:36,059
[Robin] This view!
891
00:36:36,061 --> 00:36:37,493
[Aaron] I know.
892
00:36:37,495 --> 00:36:39,262
-[Sydney] Well, yeah. I know, it's killer.
-[Robin] It is fantastic.
893
00:36:39,264 --> 00:36:40,363
[Nathan] Yeah.
894
00:36:40,365 --> 00:36:41,932
And with the stars at night,
it's gonna be...
895
00:36:41,934 --> 00:36:43,400
- incredible.
- [Sydney] I know.
896
00:36:43,402 --> 00:36:46,169
[Nathan] And did you get this door
from a house that you guys had before?
897
00:36:46,171 --> 00:36:48,138
That actually comes
with a whole story.
898
00:36:48,140 --> 00:36:50,006
- A lot of sweat and tears, but...
- Yeah.
899
00:36:50,008 --> 00:36:51,408
Here she is, she's beautiful.
900
00:36:51,410 --> 00:36:52,309
Y'all wanna go inside?
901
00:36:52,311 --> 00:36:53,610
- [all agreeing]
- Yeah, let's go.
902
00:36:54,679 --> 00:36:57,080
- Hey, come on in.
- [Nathan] Oh, man.
903
00:36:57,082 --> 00:36:57,347
Wow!
904
00:36:57,349 --> 00:36:58,815
What!
905
00:36:58,817 --> 00:37:01,151
- [Nathan] This is amazing.
- [Robin] This is incredible.
906
00:37:01,153 --> 00:37:02,385
[Sydney] Yeah?
You think so?
907
00:37:03,888 --> 00:37:06,656
- The stone on the wall is...
- [Sydney] You like it?
908
00:37:07,058 --> 00:37:08,358
It's fantastic.
909
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:09,993
[Sydney] And it took
quite a while to get
910
00:37:09,995 --> 00:37:11,828
everything, like,
pieced out together,
911
00:37:11,830 --> 00:37:13,830
It was like a puzzle.
So it took us a good minute,
912
00:37:13,832 --> 00:37:14,664
but it was so worth it.
913
00:37:14,666 --> 00:37:15,999
- We love it.
- [Nathan] That's awesome.
914
00:37:16,001 --> 00:37:17,267
[Robin] It looks so good.
915
00:37:18,102 --> 00:37:19,236
This stove is so cool.
916
00:37:19,238 --> 00:37:20,536
[Sydney] We're gonna cook on it,
917
00:37:20,805 --> 00:37:22,405
and then it's also gonna
be our heat for the winter.
918
00:37:22,407 --> 00:37:24,207
And so, we're gonna learn
how to chop firewood.
919
00:37:24,209 --> 00:37:26,209
Did she point at me and say we?
920
00:37:26,211 --> 00:37:28,845
[Nathan] It's like, hold on, hold
on, we haven't discussed this yet.
921
00:37:28,847 --> 00:37:30,847
What about, uh, power,
water, stuff like that.
922
00:37:30,849 --> 00:37:33,984
[Aaron] So we have some solar
panels on the side of the dome,
923
00:37:33,986 --> 00:37:37,220
and water, we've actually got
a well on the property, too.
924
00:37:37,222 --> 00:37:38,388
The dome-stead.
925
00:37:38,390 --> 00:37:40,190
[all laughing]
926
00:37:40,192 --> 00:37:42,125
Okay, you guys ready
to see more of the house?
927
00:37:42,127 --> 00:37:44,160
- [Nathan] Of course, let's go.
- [Aaron] Let's go.
928
00:37:48,866 --> 00:37:51,134
[Sydney] Hey, so what you think?
929
00:37:51,136 --> 00:37:53,169
- [Robin] This is the money view, right here.
- [Sydney] Right?
930
00:37:53,171 --> 00:37:54,704
[Nathan] I can't wait
to stay the night.
931
00:37:54,706 --> 00:37:56,139
It's like
cathedral ceilings in here
932
00:37:56,141 --> 00:37:58,275
[Robin] Yeah, the ambience
with the string lights,
933
00:37:58,277 --> 00:37:59,575
I love that.
934
00:37:59,577 --> 00:38:01,978
[Sydney] Our goal, of course,
was to bring nature inside,
935
00:38:01,980 --> 00:38:03,880
so, you know, it's exactly
what we wanted.
936
00:38:03,882 --> 00:38:05,849
- [Nathan] Yeah.
- [Aaron] Yeah.
937
00:38:05,851 --> 00:38:07,384
All right guys,
y'all ready to see more?
938
00:38:07,386 --> 00:38:08,885
- [cheering]
- Let's go.
939
00:38:08,887 --> 00:38:11,521
All right, so this
is Titus' bedroom.
940
00:38:11,523 --> 00:38:13,189
[Nathan] So cool.
941
00:38:13,191 --> 00:38:15,925
- [Robin] What a cute bedroom, Titus is gonna love this.
- [Nathan] I know.
942
00:38:15,927 --> 00:38:18,028
I would love to grow up
in a house like this,
943
00:38:18,030 --> 00:38:19,195
if I were his age.
944
00:38:19,197 --> 00:38:21,331
[Sydney] Just wanted it
to be minimal for him,
945
00:38:21,333 --> 00:38:23,133
we want him to be
out and playing, you know,
946
00:38:23,135 --> 00:38:25,435
and enjoying nature too.
947
00:38:27,305 --> 00:38:28,438
[Aaron] All right guys,
948
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:29,873
come check out the bedroom.
949
00:38:29,875 --> 00:38:31,675
Yes.
950
00:38:31,677 --> 00:38:33,977
- [Nathan] Oh, man.
- [Robin] Yes, this is great.
951
00:38:33,979 --> 00:38:35,011
[Nathan] Yeah.
952
00:38:35,013 --> 00:38:37,247
So this is our main bedroom.
953
00:38:37,249 --> 00:38:39,649
The idea behind it, too,
like everything else
954
00:38:39,651 --> 00:38:42,752
is minimalist,
everything has a purpose.
955
00:38:42,754 --> 00:38:44,287
And also my trellis wall.
956
00:38:44,289 --> 00:38:46,823
It's a room divider,
but the plan is to have
957
00:38:46,825 --> 00:38:49,893
ivy run up the trellis,
and kind of help give a shield
958
00:38:49,895 --> 00:38:51,461
between the throne room and...
959
00:38:51,463 --> 00:38:52,629
[all laughing]
960
00:38:52,730 --> 00:38:54,130
[Nathan] You want that
to grow as fast as possible.
961
00:38:54,132 --> 00:38:55,365
- [Sydney] That's right.
- [laughing]
962
00:38:55,367 --> 00:38:57,000
Okay, you ready
to see the bathroom?
963
00:38:57,002 --> 00:38:58,335
[Nathan] Yes, let's do it.
964
00:38:58,936 --> 00:38:59,936
Wow!
965
00:38:59,938 --> 00:39:00,503
[Robin] Yeah!
966
00:39:00,505 --> 00:39:01,638
[Nathan] This is amazing.
967
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:02,972
[Robin] Look at
this huge shower.
968
00:39:02,974 --> 00:39:04,341
[Sydney] I know,
isn't that awesome?
969
00:39:04,343 --> 00:39:05,675
The shower that
we just came from
970
00:39:05,677 --> 00:39:06,642
is like this.
971
00:39:06,644 --> 00:39:08,144
But in this one,
I can dance in here
972
00:39:08,146 --> 00:39:09,179
if I want to.
973
00:39:09,181 --> 00:39:10,980
- [Nathan] So much space.
- I can have my own party.
974
00:39:10,982 --> 00:39:11,648
[Robin] Beautiful.
975
00:39:11,650 --> 00:39:12,449
[Nathan] Oh yeah.
976
00:39:12,451 --> 00:39:13,783
I thought the dome was amazing
977
00:39:13,785 --> 00:39:15,218
I am very proud
of Aaron and Sydney
978
00:39:15,220 --> 00:39:16,953
for what they have
been able to accomplish.
979
00:39:16,955 --> 00:39:18,888
I know this has been
something, for him,
980
00:39:18,890 --> 00:39:21,858
that has been a dream of his,
really ever since high school.
981
00:39:21,860 --> 00:39:23,860
He went and did it,
so that's impressive.
982
00:39:23,862 --> 00:39:25,161
[Titus laughing]
983
00:39:25,163 --> 00:39:27,364
I had no idea really
what to expect,
984
00:39:27,366 --> 00:39:29,165
and this just blows my mind.
985
00:39:29,167 --> 00:39:30,567
This is just
the beginning for you.
986
00:39:30,569 --> 00:39:32,469
Yeah, seriously.
987
00:39:32,737 --> 00:39:37,006
[Sydney] Building off the grid was a lot harder
than I think I even anticipated it being.
988
00:39:37,008 --> 00:39:39,342
We're a little exhausted,
I'm not gonna lie about it.
989
00:39:39,344 --> 00:39:41,511
[Robin] Titus, what's your
favorite thing in the dome?
990
00:39:41,513 --> 00:39:43,246
Yeah, what's your
favorite thing in there, man?
991
00:39:43,248 --> 00:39:44,047
Is it the fridge?
992
00:39:44,049 --> 00:39:45,148
Mm-hmm!
993
00:39:45,150 --> 00:39:46,750
[Robin] Yeah.
994
00:39:46,752 --> 00:39:49,085
[Aaron] Building this dome
really tested me.
995
00:39:49,087 --> 00:39:51,020
And I wanted to give up
several times.
996
00:39:51,022 --> 00:39:52,355
But it was totally worth it
997
00:39:52,357 --> 00:39:54,424
because now I get to spend
the rest of my life
998
00:39:54,426 --> 00:39:56,593
out here with my family,
and be debt-free.
