Maine Cabin Masters (2017–…): Season 7, Episode 12 - Revamping the Cook's Beach Camp - full transcript

Whoo!

This is one
of the nicest beaches
I've seen around here,

I can tell you that.

We have a second structure
over here.

Uh. Oh.

What's that say?
Look at this, Ryan.

Wow! Cook's Beach.

That's
the find of the day.

Hey, look at the mouse.

You just threw
a mouse on me.

Where there's one...



Yikes!

It's amazing.

Oh, my goodness!

Look at
the camp outback.

We are back on Great Pond.

We are meeting Craig
and Tammy Lefebvre today.

We are arriving by boat.

Our buddy, Doug
has a double-decker
with a slide off it.

So we're gonna arrive
in style.

Nice boat, Chase.

This is beautiful.

You stepped it up.
Double big, double decker.

You can really get a good
vantage point over here.

We are out
scouting camps today.



Scouting
our next camp.

Is it as tall as this thing?
That's the hope.

Maybe we can get
all the crew,
all the materials and so on.

Yeah,
we could have everybody.

This is like having
a barge, a waterslide too.

Funny thing about that.

No, we're going
to go up to the dock.

Yeah, we can't get too close.

What?

There's a reason
we have this boat.

Why is that?

Because you can't get
too close to shore,
so we need a quick easy exit.

Oh, we have to water slide?

I hope you brought
your swimsuit.

Wait, so we're gonna
show up there dripping wet.

Yeah.

This is getting more fun
as the day goes on.

Look at that,
nice sandy spot, huh?

Apparently that used to be
the public beach.

Hi.

Hey, guys.

This is the end of
the cruise, Chase.

It's the far as we can go.
We're gonna hit bottom.

Thanks for the ride, Doug.

Any time, buddy.

Thanks, Doug.
Thanks.

All right.
Cruise over.

That wasn't
long enough.

So I assumed, you know,
just like any other time,

we'd pull right up
to the dock.

There's a slide.

It's arranged that
we have to go down the slide

because the water's
too shallow

and we cannot pull this
big boat up to the dock.

Whoo!

Oh-ho.

At least the water's warm.

That's the first time
our arrival vehicle is

actually bigger than
the camp.

There she is, huh.

This is one of
the nicest beaches
I've seen around here.

I can tell you that.
Hey, nice to see you.

Hi.

Glad you could make it Ryan.

Thank you so much.
You're welcome.

I am Craig Lefebvre.

This is my wife,
Tammy Lefebvre,

and this is the camp
we bought in January.

Used to be
the Old Cook's Beach.

Now it's pretty cool.

Now we get to enjoy it
with our family.

This is our daughter, Brooke.

Hi, Brooke.
Hi, Brooke.

And our son, Lance.

Lance, hi.
Lance.

His wife, Brittany,
our daughter in law.

Hi.

And this is our granddaughter, Tatum.

Tatum.
Hi, Tatum.

And this is Nash.

Hi, Nash.
Hi, Nash.

So this is the camp.

This is it.
This is.

Cool!

And it's got quite
the history I was telling them
a little bit.

This used to be
a public beach.

On a hot day,
they said there was

at least 200 people
on this beach.

All right, let's show...

Yeah,
show us the camp.

Let's go
check out the camp.

All right.

As you can see,
it needs plenty of help.

So what are you looking
to have done to the camp?

We're looking at
open concept.

Raise it up a little higher.

So we got room for
the grandkids to stay over.

We have a second structure
over here.

Uh...

That's
another project.

What?

That is about
to fall into the ground.

Yeah. Right.

I told my wife,
that's the honeymoon suite.

So,
a bedroom over there?

Yes. Yes, a loft upstairs.

That's kind of
the sleeping area.

This is kind of
the gathering area.

Yeah.
Pretty much.

We talked about
getting a new bathroom
put in the camp.

A little kitchen area,
nothing too big, you know.

Are there any colors
that you...

that you've kind of like?

Blues and whites.

I like a porch,
and this truly is
just a seasonal.

Seasonal, right.

Is there anything
worth keeping?

There's not much,
but there's a little cupboard,

a little structure
that's really small,

but that might be worth.

That cupboard?
Yeah.

There's this little hut.

We're hoping to get
little concession stand
right there for the kids.

How much do you have
to put into this project?

$50,000.
Okay.

And when are you looking
to get the camp back?

Because we're not gonna get
started right away...

Right.

...because there's a lot,
a little more summer.

So we want to let you enjoy
this as much of the summer
as possible, so.

Hopefully by October.

I guess we just need
a set of keys.

Well...

This open door, we don't have
any keys on that one.

I'm... I'm ready to
go check this out.

All right.
Well, thank you guys.

We'll see you guys
in sometime in October.

[Ryan]...Sometime in October.

I'm really excited because...

I'm really excited.

I don't have time
to work on 'em.

We want to come down
and enjoy the lake.

Oh.

It feels like
a trappers' cabin.

Uhh...
Homestead.

You know,
what are they called?

It stinks.
Freeloader.

Squatters cabin?

This needs a match.

It needs a match.

By the time we got this thing,
it won't be much to it,

which I think is going
to work in our favor.

This is definitely not
as tall as that boat
I can tell you that.

On the exterior
of cabinet number one
with the little eaves,

they're looking to make
that kind of

the main congregation area.

Open it up, increase
the pitch of the roof.

Get a little sleeping space
in the loft

for the young grandkids.

On the interior of the camp,
we've got to add
a new bathroom,

new kitchen, all new plumbing,

all new electrical loft space
and new floors.

I think that covers it
on that one.

All right.

Let's go check out
the other structure...

You think
this one is bad?

The other one
I don't even know.

We might.

You can't even
call this a cabin.

This is the worst one
I've ever seen.

This can't be
even considered a cabin.

Oh, it's a footprint.
It's standing.

This is disgusting.

Don't call the guys.
Call a dumpster.

The other one will be
where the sleeping is.

You know, they'll have
a sleeping space
in the main cabin, but

for privacy, they'll go over
sleep in that one, same thing
bedroom with loft space.

We don't call the guys
on this one, do we?

I don't even know
who we call on this one.

And that beach is amazing
for those little kids.

Yeah.
All right.

We got some homework to do.

Okay,
so let's not call the guys.

Let's not call
the guys.

Let's go get
us some warm clothes.

Yeah, let's go
get some warm clothes.

Next time maybe it
can be a little warmer
when we swim in,

but I'm not getting back
on the boat.
Let's call Doug.

Maybe he can come pick
us up in his truck.

...I didn't bring a phone.

Could you call him?

Someone call
Doug out there please.

Call, Doug.

Look at this
cute little camp.

This thing
doesn't stand a chance.

Oh, look at it, dude.

The other building's
been partially demoed for us.

This is Cook's Beach.

This gets the award for
nicest property,
worst camping dude.

This is beautiful.
It is great.

We'll see you once
we tear out the inside.

There's also that structure.

Today, all we're doing
is gutting the interior.

We're still working on permitting.

We know we're not changing
the footprint of the camp.

The combined budget
for both camps is $50,000.

To keep costs down,
cabin number two
is going be framed finish,

which means no plumbing,
no insulation,

no interior sheathing
and no expensive details.

That'll help us deliver
two fully functioning camps
within their budget.

Look at what we got here.

Oh, man.

Today's the day
I was not looking forward to.

This is not gonna come
apart very good.

Yeah.

The path is clear for you.

First thing I remember
when I woke up today
was how nasty this camp was.

Cool, isn't that?

There he goes.

Oh, there's some rot
behind that thing.

Look at that.

Look how rotted that is.

Ugh! Ugh.

Yuck.

Yuck.

Ugh...

Oh, yeah.
Uh!

Just crumbles...
So disgusting.

Today, we'll get
into an old camp
that a lady lived

at for 30 plus years.

It's been here forever
and you could just tell
how old it was.

That whole wall
is super shaky.

I can't imagine spending
one night here,

let alone 30 years.

Composition book, furs,
old articles.

A journal.

Barbara did our washing today.

Went to Oakland, 1950.

Hello.

Hi.

Hi.
Whoa, what are you doing?

What's up?
Looks good in here.

I got here at the right time.

Before when we were here,
it's like disgusting.

You hardly even want
to be in there.

You know, like, everything was
just old and grim and moldy.

Right.
What's happening in here?

There you go.

You covered in sweat.

I know.
Did you bring extra shirts?

I have an extra shirt.

Is this shirt number one
for the day?

The shirt number one,
it's definitely
a two-shirt a day.

You might need to go
to shirt number two soon.

I know.

What I've learned
all the time,
you don't go

in your new shirt
like an hour before lunch.

You just wait
and then at lunch,
you get a nice fresh shirt.

The loft is cleaned out.

It was pretty nasty up there,
hot, sweaty, gross,

so I ended up changing shirts,
but back at it.

Two shirt day.

Check how many shirts
are you in today?

I only brought
one shirt.

Hey, look at the mouse,
just beat feet right across.

Oh, jeez.

Is what that
just fell on me?

No, just one...
That was up here?

You just threw
a mouse on me.

Where there's one...
Yikes!

I showed up just in time
for it to start raining mice.

Oh, I'm just standing there
chatting away
and all of a sudden

Chase is above on the ladder
doing something
with the ceiling.

And I just thought
he threw something on me.

Apparently, there was a mouse
that was up, living up
in the ceiling.

It fell out,
fell onto my shoulder
and ran across the floor.

Gus, can I join you?
Gussie...

There were a few things
that were inside before,

the homeowners must
have grabbed them.

Yep.

Um... This... I'm not sure
of the condition,
but let's just...

I don't want to get it
more ruined.

So can we just hide it?
Gussie.

It's like a car wash?

Say, thanks, Chasey.

That shed over there
is filled with treasures too.

That shed has no treasures.
I've already been there.

Oh.
Nice try.

Okay.

I guess we're
redefining treasure.

We have personal definition.

Okay, you find me
a treasure in there.

I'll believe it. But I'm not.

I'll bet you.

I bet
there's nothing.

I'll bet you
a lobster roll.

Nick told me there's
all kinds of hidden treasures

over at the other shack.

Well, I was over at
the other shack

and I know that there's
no hidden treasures
over in that shack.

There's nothing.

The walls are practically
not even standing.

I'm not really buying it.

Unopened can of Sardines.

What?

You want
some crackers?

How old do you think this is?

70 years.
They're packed in Maine.

I bet you those are
still good.

No treasure so far.

This is no, I think
this makes a vote.

I do owe, Nick,
a lobster roll.

Nick, I will get you
that lobster roll.

It's kind of a win-win
situation, though,

because I'm going to get
a lobster roll too.

Ryan, we got this
for your hot sauce.

You don't want to open 'em.

Look, not so...nice job...

Oh,
they still resemble fish.

Don't eat that, okay.

Don't eat that.

Smelling it?
Don't do it.

Oh.

What did you think it
was going to smell like?

Oh, man, I never like.

No, I'm not going
to eat those.

There's no way.

Nick found
this old can of Sardines.

I don't know
why anybody thought
it was a good idea

to open up a can of Sardines
that's 54 years old.

Yuck.

And I got Tuna fish
for lunch now.

Oh, that's gross.

Bad day to
get Tuna fish.

Today was all about
demoing the interior
of the main structure.

The second structure,
it's barely standing.

We're not gonna tackle that
until we can

carefully dismantle it
to save as much as possible.

The concession stand
just needs a little sheathing
and paint.

We'll knock that out
as we're closing in
cabin number one.

Nice work today that was...

Yeah. Nasty.

Nasty, but it's not
as bad as we thought
it was gonna be.

No.
I mean, some rot.

Mice.
Some mice.

It's workable.
She's sound for sure.

Yeah.

What you guys doing
over there?

Let the dog in.

Too late to charge,
it's too late
to charge admission.

You're the only one
that want anything?

Which color do you want?

I'll take
one of those.

Come on over.
I'll take the blue one.

Which color
do you want?

How much are they?

They're free today.
They're on me.

I'll take
a purple one.

Yeah, here is
a good lesson, boys.

Nothing in life is free.

Especially
coming from Ashley.

I'll just take
the red one.

That's fine.

The snack shack
came fully-loaded.

There's popsicles,
there's cookies.

It's all kinds of goodies.

Good job, today guys.

I am closed.

Snack shack is closed.

I got some 16 foot
two by fours.

Hmm-mmm.

Just run them in as far as
we can beside those,

and then we can build
a new wall
just to support this front.

End of the first week
at the Lefebvre camp.

The guys were here.

They stripped off
the interior,

stripped off the front porch,
kind of dug it out,

got access to
the rotted sills

and today is all about
cutting out some more rot

and getting
the place jacked up

and leveled out and ready
to start building off of them.

The guys got the camp
out of the dirt.

Got everything stripped back,
so we see where the rot is,

where the issues are.

And today the goal is to get
some of the floor system rebuilt.

We reinforce the floor system
and then build a new ledger

and get some new studs in.

Then when you lift,
it lifts everything

it doesn't just lift in
one or two spots
and compress everything.

There's so many
different ways to attack it,

and there's so many
different ways to support it,
to lift it up.

Best thing you can do
is just cut it back,

get rid of as much of the rot
as you can without
structurally sabotaging it.

The big thing now is to get.

The floor structure supported,
get the wall supported,

so that when it comes time
to take the roof off,

we've got something
that's gonna stand
and stay in place.

Next steps are to get
some more studs in the walls

to support everything
and then brace off
the interior so that

when we start removing
the roof system,

the walls aren't just
all loosey-goosey.

Whoa!

Week two
at the Lefebvre camp

and Brad and crew
are cranking.

They are doing
a heck of a job.

They got...
the roof system off.

They got it jacked up.
They got it leveled.

They got it on good footings
and now it's time
to put the rafters on.

They got some beautiful six
by eight hemlock beams
they're working with,

and we're going to give this
a nice timber frame,
chunky look.

You know, they had to go back
in, add a bunch of framing
and stuff,

but it's ready
for the roof system.

Whoa.

Nice cut.

That's heavy,
fresh hemlock right there.

Cool.

That gives them
a lot of space up there.

Yeah.

And the crew is doing
a really good job.

Last week was spent
getting out of the ground,
saving what we could.

Now decided
to put the rafters up.

We're going for a really
beefy look on this.

We got some rough
cut hemlock, beautiful stuff.

You know,
by the end of this week,
we'll have the rafters on.

Then we'll start sheathing
the roof.

Next week we can go
from there.

So after they get
the roof system on,
they're going to sheath it.

We'll put the loft in
and then it's kitchen, floors,
sheathing and go time.

So I'm out behind cabin two,
trying to see
if we can make this happen.

Yeah, so what it's looking
like is,

you know, there is a damaged
oak tree over there.

There's a 100 foot mark.

They asked us if we try
to get it about 80 feet back.

I believe this is
what they said.

I want to measure back
from the 100 foot.

Like, if we can fit it,
like right in here,

it would be perfect because
it wouldn't have to take down

too many big trees,
you know, but it would fit.

But there's going to be
some large trees around it.

But I'm going to stake out
this area right here
and see what we got.

The cabins, um,

it's about 20 by 22 and half,

so about 450 square feet.

So let me first measure back
from this 100 foot mark.

So, 80 feet,
this tree right here.

So, this is going to be
a bunkhouse

with just electrical
and no plumbing, that's it.

That was part of the permit
getting approved.

Hard to think like,
cabin might go back here,

but that's why God created
chainsaws, I guess.

Things are progressing
nicely in the Lefebvre camp.

The camp has been jacked
and leveled, rot replaced.

Today we're working on getting
the roof system sheathed over

and new windows installed.

We got the deck back
on reattached, loft there.

Good-sized bathroom here,
kitchen over there.

It's going to stay rustic,

but it's gonna
lot a let more light in

and it's a lot
taller than it was.

The original camp,
the roof was so low-pitched.

There was a tiny little loft
that wasn't much room
for sleeping,

but now it's got
a decent-sized loft.

It just opens it up,
lets more light in

just cleans it up dramatically.

Now that the roof's
all enclosed.

We're working on the loft.

We put a nosing board
on the front

and we're using sheathing
boards to sheath over,

using the strap that we have
to fill in the floor system.

So all this is
coming down.

All, it's coming down.
Excellent.

I think it'll just
a couple of big pushes
and it'll just roll.

You can probably
huff and puff
and blow this house down.

We could probably
run through it,

but it doesn't look safe.
Yeah.

Too many nails.

You got this.
Give her a good one Jedi.

Oh, look at that.

This is a complicated
application process,

because a lot of things
are impacted.

There's old camp.

Then one camp that
was pretty much gone.

So we went to the town,
one, two, three or four
planning board meetings,

and we all came
to the conclusion

that we're going to move
it 80 feet back
and we can rebuild it.

Pretty much what we built
it's an old style cabin.

We have minimal costs
in lumber,

minimal costs in fasteners
and other stuff,

discount windows and a couple
of weeks of labor.

Since we're the fastest cabin
builders in Maine,

labor is really nil on this.

You combine that all together
and it keeps us
under 30 grand.

Let's run
all the mice on out.

Oh...

Gross, you didn't get it
all out in one knock.

It's kind of
win-win for everyone.

They move it back,
town's happy
and homeowners are loving it.

This could be dangerous.

Chase you wanna see
how strong, I am?

Yeah.

Bradley, Brit
we need some muscle.

Actually it'll take
a bunch of you guys,
try to help us push this over.

Take a break from the roof.

The challenge of taking down
that old structure
is really not getting hurt

and we're prone to get hurt.

One, two. Right.

There she go.

Watch out, Chase.

First of all,
we got it out there.

I thought it would
all just disintegrate,

but it was held it,
rolled right up on the top.

One way to do it.

Yeah.

I hope
Chase wasn't back there.

Chase, Chase.
Where do you go?

Chase.

Lift right up on.
Let it roll over.

One way to do it.

Yeah.

I hope Chase wasn't
back there.

Chase?
Where did you go?

What are you doing
enjoying peace and quiet?

No.
Cutting path into the woods.

It was pretty heavy,
but we got a
bunch of people over there

and we literally flipped it
up on its roof.

So I've never seen
that before.

And then it went up.

It was quite dramatic
and it kind of fell apart,
it's perfect.

We always forget how nice
it is to build new,

because, you know,
we're saving memories
most of the time, you know.

All these places should be
torn down or we're saving them
to stay within the rules.

But new construction,
I mean, we can fly.

So it'll be fun.

The structure
is down.

What's up, Ryan?

How are you?

Great.
It's gone.

What's the plan?

We're going to build
a new structure back here.

Has to be 80 feet from
the shore,
with a high watermark,

which is that string
right there.

It's gonna be a nice place
to sleep, nestled
in the woods here.

Man, you can
still hear the water?

You can
still hear the water.

When's
the last time you saw...

What's that there?
Oh, look at that.

What's that say?
Look at this Ryan.

Wow! Cook's Beach.

That's a find
of the day.

Holy cow!

That was buried underneath
the camp.

That's pretty perfect.

What?
Where did you find that?

Suzy found it.

Suzy.

You can't make this up.

What?

That's cool.

Which way is the Cook's Beach

This was this
under the camp?

Yeah.

Suzy.

How old this camp is,
that must have been there
for a long time?

We'll have to
just clean it up a little.

Polyurethane and find
a good place to put it up.

That's awesome.
Cool.

There's not even
walls left in this place,

it's still full of treasures.

I think the
best treasure was
the old Cook's Beach sign.

Nobody had any clue
it was there.

Somebody stashed
it under there.

It stayed dry enough.

That it's definitely salvageable.

So we'll for sure,
clean that up
and put it back into the camp.

Oh, we've got it cleared.

We're chipping.

So now what we're doing
is just try to figure out

where our carrying beams
are gonna go

and how we're gonna lay out
the floor system.

We should be building a 12/24
box and then adding
this on after.

We basically figured out
where the front of the camp

is gonna sit
with our first two posts.

So once we get this center
one set, we should be all set.

We'll set this one and we'll
just level off from there.

Yesterday,
there was just brush.

There was nothing here,
and today there's actually

a platform and a couple of
walls stood.

We know pretty much everything
straight plum,

right, where it needs to be.

Right now, I'm just getting
all our top plates on.

After we get these
top plates on,

we're going to start sheathing
our backside, our front side,

get everything
all sheathed up.

Then we'll be able to run
our beams on the inside

to get our second storey started.

I'm working on
cutting stair stringers.

We got the first floor
all framed up.

We're just gonna work on
getting the stairs in.

Will make it a lot easier
working on the second floor.

We can walk stuff up
the stairs instead of
up and down the ladder.

We'll drag it
over to this wall.

Lovely.

Let's find a shady spot.

We definitely need
a shady spot.

Whoo.
I'm at Chase's barn today.

I have a project to do.

I have my two best helpers
with me.

Gus and Charlie
and Ryan and Bill
are here too.

Don't fall.

Only way I'll fall
is if you trip me.

So I grabbed
the bureau out of the camp.

Yeah, you know,
we had destroyed

so much of what was there.

Watch out, Charlie.

If I want to keep a bit of
the history of the camp,

and I think that this piece
is worth refurbishing.

So here's the plan, guys.

This was in their
throwaway pile.

Really? Oh, wow.

This is just
a piece of laminate.

So I was thinking
if we could strip this,
sand it down a little.

I bought some new posts
so we can take these ones off.

Take those right out.

So we're going to first scrape
the veneer off.

We're gonna remove
the hardware from the drawers.

Then we're going
to sand it down.

Then we're going to put
wood putty in any of the holes
that needs to be filled.

This is the best stuff
in the world.

That's where we're drilling
new holes
for the new hardware.

I just want to cover up
the old holes

so we don't have the old holes
on the drawers.

You're comfortable, Gus?

I think this is dry enough.

If you want to
drill the holes.

Yup.

I could do a light sanding
and you want to do
the painting.

Beautiful.

Here, this one's going
to be ready for you, Bill.

Before it was an old darker
stain kind of dated look.

So I wanted to just give it a,
you know, more modern feel

with a nice charcoal gray
slate color.

That color, along with
the new hardware,

is gonna give it
a whole new life.

So this is the old pull.

I like it, but I wanted to
just give
the piece a fresh look,

so, best good way to do
that is to put on new pulls.

Gus, doesn't
it look so great?

I see, well.

Drum roll.

Drum roll.
Billy.

Here we go.

This looks great.

Yeah, I'm always like,
we know what we're doing.

Took this old piece
that was in the dump pile,

and now look, they're not even
gonna recognize it.

It looks awesome, you guys.

I'm so excited about it.

Looks great!

Yeah, that's good
right there buddy.

At the Lefebvre camp,
things are cranking.

On cabin number one,
it's pretty much almost done.

Cabin number two,
they got it almost framed up.

We only have
two more weeks left.

This is a very simple
bunkhouse camp.

Frame is finished.

So next week, we'll get
the roof sheet.

We'll throw the windows in.
We'll trim them out.

Electrician will get here
and we'll do some simple trim
inside and it's done.

It's week 12 at
the Lefebvre camp.

We are getting ready to
hand it back,

so today we're just
finishing up
a few last things.

Camp number one has been
jacked and leveled.

Rotted sills replaced,
new covered porch.

We reused the existing deck
and most of the siding
will stay the same.

New windows throughout,
all new electrical.

We tore off the old roof,

increased the pitch of
the roof,

a new bigger loft,
loft ladder,

moved the kitchen
over to here.

That's going in today.
Doug's working on plumbing.

We've got a shower,
toilet, bathroom.

We're able to reuse some
of the original wall

from camp number two.

This is where camp
number two originally was.

That is totally down and gone,

and we cleared out an area
to camp number two.

This is the bunkhouse kind of
the sleeping areas,

and as you can see,
it's pretty close
to being done.

It's got a main sleeping area
on the first floor.

It's fairly open
frame finished

and there's also
the second floor additional
sleeping space.

Um... It's good area, lots of
windows facing the lake,

let light in and let
a good breeze in.

And we give them a good sized
space to sit out here

and enjoy the views
of the water
and have a little privacy.

On the inside of
cabin number one,

kitchen cabinets were on site,

so today I just assembled
the cabinets.

And of the new bathroom,
Doug's here to finish up
the plumbing.

Dougie?
Yes, sir.

You want to help me
set this in place?

Super.

And then it's ready
for a sink.

When we first came
into the camp,

I mean, it, it really didn't
even have much of a kitchen.

Now it's got
a brand new kitchen,

brand new countertop,

all new plumbing,
bring a fridge and stove in.

Then they've got great area
to cooking.

Cabin number two
Jedi was working on

putting the railings on
the exterior of the camp,

finishing up a little bit of
trim on the windows,

and Ryan was working on
the upstairs second floor
Coming down with that.

You're just the person
I was looking for.

Today I discovered
the jelly cabinet

that Chase had taken out
of this camp originally.

Camp one? Camp two?
One.

Grabbed it, pulled it out
and Jedi and I went to town
on kind of fixing it up.

We had to like kind of remove
a couple of boards

that they had put in to
hang it the first time.

There we go.

So we kind of
stripped those off.

There we go.
Cut boards to make a new back.

And then installed it,
it's a perfect piece.

You know, it just needed
a little bit of love.

Looks level.

I love that it's in
the same spot
that was in before.

Yes.

A little piece of
the old camp right back in.

Perfect.

Over at the camp two,
I had a nice plan with

all kinds of nice chunky
little rough cut,

leftover is going
to really tie and the framing.

Let's do this.

I just got to frame out
a little frame, mini-wall.

Sheath it and and then
put a rail on top.

Yeah, baby!
I think they look great.

Carpentry, the art of
making it all work.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel.

You're Rapunzel, I'm Romeo.

Rapunzel doesn't have to
go to work.

How does it look.

Looks great.
Fantastic.

Perfect.
You done?

Yeah, you guys done?
We're done too.

Let's make like Romeo
and Julia, make out of here.

Make out of here.
Make out of here.

You just
made that up.
No one says that.

Today's the day we are giving
the camp back
to Lefebvre family.

We had $50,000
and 12 weeks.

They ended up with a renovated
camp and a brand new camp,

so they should be very happy.

I have two cabins
to decorate now.

On the first camp,
I chose a nice blue.

I know that Tammy
really loves the color blue.

And then the second camp,
it just was really pretty
with the natural wood.

I love the look,
great for a bunkhouse.

But sometimes
you don't have to get
fancy with these things.

These camps look great.

What you're doing?

We just need to hang up,
the Cook's Beach sign.

The few things that
we were able to save

are really great to add back
to the camp.

Sweet, that looks good.

It's real good. Nice.

That was a lucky find.

It's fun to be able to pull
in those old things
back into the new camp.

Go. We are done.

Let's go give it back.
All right.

Excited for them to see it.

Let's go.

You ready, guys?

Yeah.
That's us?

Are you serious?

Amazing! Oh, my goodness.

Look at the camp out back.

It's gorgeous.

That's us.

Are you serious?

It's amazing.

Oh, my goodness.

Hey, look at
the camp out back.

Holy smoke!

That look good.

I love the color.

It's gorgeous.

All right, here we go, guys.
We get to go.

See it, you ready?

I didn't recognize anything.

I was overwhelmed,
feels like a dream.

This is wonderful.

Beautiful.
It's so beautiful.

Nice job, guys.

First step was getting
the inside gutted out.

We got it emptied out
and jacked it up,

replaced the rotted sills

and then tore that roof
right off
and lofted it right up.

Went with a metal roof,
so everything will slide off
that easily.

New windows, new door
and painted it blue.

So we also added
some repainted lockers

on the porch
for extra storage.

Cute. I love them.

I can't wait to see it inside.

No, what!

Look at that.

Holy smokes.

This is so nice.
I love it.

We tried to reuse
as much of that old shack

as we possibly could.

I love it.

Beautiful work.
Beautiful work.

Holy smokes.

Look we've got a bathroom.

Look,
we have a shower.

Isn't this great, Tay.

We have a bathroom now.

We have a kitchen now.

We don't have all kinds of
mice running through it.

Do you want to go up?

Oh, my goodness.

Loot at this.

This is so cute.

Wow!
Wow.

People can sleep here now.
Yeah.

Did Chase and Ashley do
a nice job?

Okay.
Yes.

Before, I mean, it was such
a low-pitched roof.

I mean, you could barely
just crawl up in there,

but we increased the pitch.

We use these beefy
three by eight
hemlock beams just to,

you know,
give it that nice look.

You've got this nice
loft space that's usable now

and a whole new kitchen.

It's my kind of
camp right here.

Perfect.
I love it.

I just love it.

You guys, we have a
whole lot of camp to see.

You want to see
where you'll be sleeping?

Yeah.
You're ready?

Let's go see
to the bunkhouse camp.

Yeah.

Just one camp being
done is amazing.

That is a beautiful camp.

It's just what I wanted.

It's gorgeous.
Hello.

We're thrilled.

Holy smokes.
Look at this one.

Oh, my God.

My goodness.

That's the balcony.

So the old one was right here
and then,

you know, we had to move it
back greatest extent possible.

We got, you know,
nice and big windows

looking out on the water,
let in a lot of light.

It's pine-sided
with a oil-based stain,

so it's sealed up
nice and well.

I love that
little balcony.

You guys want
to head on into the bunkhouse?

Yeah.
A big bunkhouse.

Let's go see it guys.

Oh, this is so nice.

Look at this.

Oh, my God.

It's just hard to believe
we have
a brand new structure there.

It's gorgeous.

Look at that sign.

Yeah,
that is original.

Are you serious?

That was under
the shack.

Sweet. Good find.

A sign on the wall
was amazing

because that kind of
touches off the whole project.

It belongs on that camp.

You know, it's got a lot
of memories out here.

Brooke's bed room.
Oh, this is so cute.

And now
I have to tell you,

I grabbed this out of
the old camp
and just refinished it.

You did great.
I love that.

You're welcome.

Almost,
kinda like...

There's still more.

Let's go upstairs.

No way.

So cute.

Oh, my goodness.

Wow.

This is nice up here.

Holy smokes.

Wow!
Wow!

We're super excited.

We can all stay here
and make some good memories.

Lots of windows
across the front.

Take advantage of the view.

Let the light in
and let the air in.

I think he likes it.

This is a great place because
this summer we had a blast,

but we just
never wanted to leave,

but there was
no place to stay

and we can actually
stay overnight.

Very beautiful.

This is so...
look, how cute.

It'll be really nice when
we can just sneak out
on our little balcony

looking at the view
above and beyond guys,

look, how beautiful...

It's amazing.

...This is going
to be so much fun.

The both properties
are really amazing.

Great job.
You did beautiful job, guys.

It was worth moving
it back then.

It was.
Oh, it was.

Well worth it.
Room for the whole family.

We had 12 weeks and $50,000.

The camps are done.
The place is yours.

So, just have to hand
the keys back.

Oh, thank you very much.

Finally, we have keys,
mom and dad.

Kids enjoy.

Thank you.
You're welcome.

Bye.
Ashley, thank you.

You're welcome.

Thank you, Chase.
Thank you, Ashley.

It does amaze me,
I'm very fortunate,

you know, to have
Cabin Masters over here

and do this project for us.

We're really happy.

It's the best thing to see
the kids out here,

just playing and playing
in the sand and playing
in the camp.

For $50,000 we got
our money's worth.

Thank you Cabin Masters!
