Maine Cabin Masters (2017–…): Season 7, Episode 4 - A Cabin Tribute to Mimi Eva - full transcript

This is a trap.
They know they're late.

This is our camp!
We're new camp owners.

It's a beautiful
piece of property.

You can get
new camps every day.

Hope a bunch
of blow-in insulation
hasn't come out.

Whoa!

The wind is howling,
it is negative five degrees
out here.

My pattern look stupid.

Every time I have
a project with you guys,
Chase leaves us.

Wait till you go inside.
Let's go!

Oh, my goodness.
Wow!



I'm so incredibly amazed
by how beautiful it is.

Wow, it's so beautiful
out here.

Where are we right now?

We are
in Monmouth, Maine.

This road is taking forever.

This is for
a new project, right?

All I know is he called
and said, "Meet me here."

Maybe this is a trap.

Why would Chase trap us?

He set us on a trap.
I feel like it's a set up.

Why would he do that to us?
I don't know.

We're not late,
we're not late.

Oh, my gosh!
Oh. jeez!

They know they're late.
There they are.



Who's he with?
Hey! Look who I have with me!

That is Sarah.
What is Sarah doing here?

I don't know.
What is going on?

We've been waiting
for about an hour.

I'm confused.
Me too.

Sarah.

I am married to Chase.

We've been married
for 15 years
and have four kids

and a beautiful life
here in Maine.

Hi.
What are you doing here?

Well...
Surprise!

This is our camp!
We're new camp owners.

What?

This is why you've been acting
so weird lately.

I have so many questions
right now.

What do you guys think?

It's cute.
I'm still trying to wrap my head

around what's going on.

So, what, how do you guys
just own a camp now?

What's happening?
So, Sarah's mother, you know,

recently passed away.
Yeah.

We're actually
here today at a camp
that Chase and I just bought.

We were left a small amount
of money from my mother

who passed away this year.

My mom, we called her
Mimi Eva.

She spent a lot of time
with her grandchildren

and she spent
a lot of time on the lake,

so she was a kayaker
and swimmer...

She would be on the water
with the kids just,
you know, just playing,

so we really see this
as sort of a tribute to her

and a place that,
you know, hopefully

we can be those same
grandparents for our kids.

That's a beautiful
piece of property,
it's historic.

It's gorgeous.
It's gorgeous.

It used
to belong to Bette Davis.

Really?
Pretty amazing.

...looks like a house.

It's cute though...
Cute.

It doesn't need
a new roof.

It looks like it doesn't need to be jagged.
No.

You guys, you can get
new camps every day.

Chase used to ask
these questions
from this side.

So, if I change
then it looks like...

So Chase, what's your budget?

Well, so we're about
$30,000 put into this project.

All right.
30,000? How come you have the lowest budget so far?

No, 40,000.
It's not bad.

Sarah, what would you
like to see happen?

Sort of dark inside.
Mm-
Hmm.

There's not
a whole lot of natural light

and there's definitely
not that many windows
facing the lake.

So I think that would
definitely be a priority.

-
The kitchen in pretty dated.
Okay.

So I would love to see
some kitchen magic.

Yeah. Love the kitchen.
And you know.

I mean the bedrooms
are decent sized like,

I think the layout is decent,
it just needs to be like,
brightened up.

So, we want
this camp finished in...

Oh!
It's a timeline.

...let's say 12 weeks.
What?

What?
Coney math, that's spring.

Twelve weeks?
Twelve weeks is a long time.

I know, you get,
that's winter.

By the river
there's a bad road.

If we get some sun
it'd take us a while
to get down in here.

I don't know
if this is doable.

Chase.
This is doable.

We can definitely
get it done in 12 weeks

and $40,000
it's just the right amount

to get done
what you're looking for.

So, we'll do what we can,
and we just need
a set of keys.

I don't have any.

Here you go.

Oh, sunglasses.
I think the keys are inside 'em.

It's unlocked?
It's unlocked.

See you guys. Let's go look at it, honey.
No, no, grab him.

You're with us.
You're with us. Head over here.

Bye Sarah.
Bye guys, thank you so much.

I am looking forward
to a place that
we can come to

and, you know,
remember her on purpose

while we're having
an amazing time.

First thing
we're gonna do
on the exterior of the camp

is we're going to remove
the old oil tank,

all new skirting
around the camp,
new pine siding, new windows,

bigger windows
on the waterside,
new entry doors.

We'll have Francis come in,
do a drip edge and
an overall spring cleanup.

Oh.

She does need
a little bit of an update,
doesn't she?

I mean it's just dated,
it doesn't...

it's not in bad condition,
it's just dated.

You know,
decent size bedrooms.

That's a huge bedroom.

That is a big bedroom.

On the interior
of the camp we are going
to lighten up the camp

by adding windows
on the waterside,

new floors, new walls,
new electrical, new plumbing.

Get the kitchen cabinets
and countertop in place,

vault the ceiling
and new heating system.

I'm excited
to do this for Sarah.

Taking down
the bones and clean it up.

We had to deal with
Mimi Eva's state,
which involved a condo,

so we loaded up the van,
bought a trailer.

We're driving down to Florida
to load up some stuff.

Make sure you
bring back some pictures...

Some good stuff
to incorporate into this.

She probably has
all kinds of
memorabilia from our trips.

We get the kids involved,
so we need to talk to them

and see what they'd like
to do and
if they want to help.

Let's call the guys
and the kids.

All right.
Let's do it.

You call the kids, I'll call the guys.
All right.

So, the kids and I took,
you know, did a road trip
down to Florida.

So, as you can see
it's an awesome view
of the water.

You got the Atlantic Ocean
right there,

you've got the inlet
over there.

There's Maggie.
Hi.

Our van is loaded.

Our trailer is loaded.

It's back to Maine soon,
we're getting a snowstorm,

so we're gonna make sure
we get up there before that.

It's gonna be sad
to leave this place but...

I think it's time.

We have been
in this car forever.

Eva, lift it.

It smells like
it's from the 80's.

Doesn't it?

I don't know what smells like.

Fireplace work?
Set a fire.

It was built
in the 80's and its had a few
face lifts over the years

but it's ready
for major updates
and, you know,

bring it up to code
and also just more
energy efficient.

Cut down the draft,
new electrical

and really take advantage
of the water view.

Yeah.

Biggest reservation
about getting

into the insulation
and the ceiling

is just the mess
that it's gonna make.

Oh!

It's a big debate
about whether to tear
the ceiling tiles down

or to leave them up.

I mean I can see
on both sides, um...

if it was mine,
I would probably leave them,

just because it's very,
very, very messy and nasty.

All right, here we go.
It's like Christmas.

Hope a bunch of blow-in
insulation doesn't come out.

I feel like Heraldo
with a vault.

Who does that? Come on.

We're here
at the Morrill camp,
we're finishing up

the last-minute demolition
right now.

Got everybody tearing
down all the walls,

getting all
the old insulation
out of here

and one last piece
of the demolition puzzle

is are we gonna rip
the ceiling out or not?

Hope a bunch of blow-in
insulation doesn't come out.

Chase thought
about saving the ceiling,

he thought about it hard.

Oh, I see, I see something.

I'm sure to learn
our lesson by now,

but we always try to save it.

I see a lot of space.

I see a little bit
of blow-in insulation
and some fiberglass.

We got up there
and poked around
in those wires coming

under the existing ceiling
and between the strapping

so we were to put
new ceilings on there,

we would've probably driven
a nail or two through them,

that would've been
a nightmare.

Toilet's froze...
Toilet's froze solid.

Winter's here.

I didn't winterize it because
I knew we're gonna be in here

ripping apart and I knew
all the plumbing
was coming out anyways,

but I wasn't worried
about some frozen pipes.

Oh, little frozen poopsicles
falling out.

This thing is
pretty much almost down
to the frame now.

We found all kinds of holes
in the exterior siding.

We found spots where
there's a little more mouse
poop than we thought.

We even found
some damaged areas,

so it's good to take it
right back and start fresh.

How is it going?

I haven't been here
since the first day
I was here.

Oh, yeah.
It's empty if you wanna...

I got some fabrics
I picked out and I wanna see,

just take a peek,
start getting some ideas.

Yeah.
Wanna give me tour?

Show me what's going on.
After you.

Today I'm stopping
by the Morrill cabin.

I picked up some fabrics,
some oranges and greys
and tans

and I want to bring them up
to the cabin

and hopefully
they have enough done

so I can see if these colors
are gonna work.

So these are my fabrics.

Oh, look.

Look at the white
and the grey.

I'm gonna turn these
into throw pillows and such.

Oh yeah, look.
Maybe even some curtains.

Yeah.

And then, and then
I'll go on and see this lady
who does hook rugging,

or you can make
throw pillows out of it.

So, Mimi Eva
when she passed away,

she told us her spirit animal
is an elephant,

so I thought, you know,
obviously I don't wanna go
over the top with elephants

but I thought we could
just have one,
like nice elephant pillow.

Yeah.
Now, look, this's gonna be great.

All these colors are
gonna match up nicely
with the grey walls.

Woo-hoo!

I love getting
discounted fabrics.

I'm excited
cause' the walls
are gonna stay the same.

It's a nice, you know,
grey washed wall.

It will go great
with the fabrics
that I've chosen.

So, at this point I just have
to wait for the guys

to get more work done.

Today I'm in West Paris.

I am going to meet Beth
at Parris House Wool Works,
she does rug hooking.

Hello?
Hi, Ashley.

Hi, Beth.

How are you?
Great.

It's a beautiful drive
up here.

It's so nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you as well.

This is where you do the work.
It is!

I'm so excited
to see everything.

The cabin for Sarah,
I wanted to bring in
something special,

something that's gonna
remind her of her mother

and Beth does these beautiful
hook rug pillows, so

I figured this pillow
would be a nice way
of memorialize her.

The basic tools are gonna be
your rug hooking frame,

your hook and a pair of snips.

Three tools.
Three tools.

That's--
Yeah, it's really simple.

That's so simple.
Yeah, it is, it's simple.

I say that now.

The walls on the cabin
are grey already,

so I just kinda ran with that.

We're using greys
and oranges.

I like the way
they look together.

The orange is bright
and cheery.

For Sarah, it's gonna
be a great, you know,
reminder of her mother,

just to see
that little elephant.

It's important to know
that if you pull this way,

you might pull the loop behind it out.
Oh yeah.

Now, I'm hooking straight down

one of the grains
of the linen, which is not
what we're gonna do

to complete this piece,
but it just kinda gives you

a chance to get
into that motion

of pulling the loops
before we tackle a curve.

First thing Elizabeth did
was she dyed the wool
before I got there.

She matched the colors
of the fabrics
I send her a picture of

and then she cuts
into strips kinda like,
you know, fettuccini,

little strips of fettuccini
but not really, it's wool.

And then she drew
out the design,

traced it
onto the piece of linen,

and then put it
onto the frame.

I really appreciate
you're doing this for us,

I appreciate you're
taking the time to teach me

and I'm gonna go home
and I'm gonna practice

and I'll show you
my finished results.

I can't wait to see it.

I don't think that
I am the best at hooking

but I'm gonna go home
and practice

because I can see myself
really getting into this.

Perfect!

Oh, it's gonna go
real smooth, boys.

It's gonna go real smooth.

Week three in Monmouth,
on Annabessacook Lake

and today the big thing is
getting the oil tank
moved out of the way.

Oh!
What's going on?

Is it tight?
Against the building?

It really is gonna take
some brute strength

and we're gonna try
and get the truck
as close as we can to it,

slide it into the back of it,

then that allows
the guys to get the cement
out of the way

and to get all the skirting
prepped and ready to put metal

around the perimeter
to get ready for siding.

Stay calm.
Yeah.

Oh, watch that valve,
That leak's going.

We have a kerosene monitor
that we took out,

but the oil tank was there,
it still had some left in it,

so we're just gonna load it
into the truck

and shift it out of the way.

Whoa!

Whoa!

Up, up and away.

There we go.

We're here
week three on Annabessacook.

Beautiful,
beautiful winter day here,

it's about 12 degrees
with probably a 20, 30 mile
an hour wind.

Nice.

Good.

I got a big storm coming in
so our main focus today

is get the bottom skirt metal
all wrapped up

and then we can get
our siding done.

We'll get some pressure
treated plywood,

we're replacing
those bad panels

and then we're just
gonna cover them with metal.

The plywood around
the skirt of the camp,

was just mostly rotten
from backsplash.

There, in the back corner,
there was an oil tank there

so water was just
coming off the roof,

splashing off in the oil tank
and right onto the wood.

We got the siding
all stacked up, pre stained,
ready to go.

Today we are gonna work
on this backside,

getting it prepped
and ready which mean
running our corner boards,

running our metal below,
chalking our lines

so that we know
where we can build up from.

We've got a little bit more
on the outside to do that way,

but one siding's up,
we should be good to go.

So on the inside,
Ryan got in here,

he did get
the ceiling pulled down.

We got a larger kitchen window
looking out over the water.

Doug's here today
working on the plumbing

and the bathroom,
we enlarged that space.

And again, on the wiring,
all the new insulation throughout.

In the main living space,
we were able to vault
the ceilings

to match right
across the whole way

and we are ready
for pine ceilings walls,

which really uh,
brighten up the place.

Go ahead and snap it.

We've been lucky enough
we have a huge crew now,

but you know, there's many
days when it's just Dixie,
Jedi, Chase and I,

cause' when it's just the four
of us we can crane.

We've all worked with
each other for, you know,
the last ten years straight.

Morning!

Hey, honey!
Morning!

How you like it?
Looks good.

Looks great, huh?
Yeah.

Let me see.
What are you doing?

Oh, it matches perfect.
You already like the color.

I know, I'm just seeing it.
It matches perfect.

How is it going on, pretty fast?
Yeah.

We started this morning.
It is morning right now.

Is it?
On my clock.

I'm not sure
about here it's 7, 07:30.

Whenever she's here,
she gives us a laugh

and it makes the day
go by quicker and it breaks
the day out,

it's kind of perfect.

I thought we were going
with an elephant theme here
with grey,

now we're brown.

No, the interior,
we're gonna have
a lot of greys.

The accent wall is grey.

Three and 15 and 16.

Three and 15 and 16.
Three and 15 and 16.

On the side, Dixie.
Just one little tick past five.

Behind five. No, behind four.
One little tick behind five.

Four.
Four.

Four little tickies.
Four little tickies.

Sometimes I wonder
how anything gets done
when I'm not around.

I'm more than moral support.

Here, last piece for the side.

How does it look, Gus?

Yay!
Yay!

What you doing?
Joining the corner?

Corner, yeah.

That's the sink going
for the window?

Uh... that's Chase.

Chase!
What?

Corner sink, huh?

You have a different
type of corner cabinet?

I've got
the dimensions

and I've got this guy down
in Portland, Joe Seremeth,

who does a lot
of cabinetry work.

Sent him the measurements
and he's gonna make
something to fit it.

How long have
you been doing plumbing?

Since 87'.

Have you ever done
a sink in a corner?

Hey, let me
draw it out for you.

I was pretty surprised to see
a corner sink, so I'm trying
to wrap my head around that.

Be like this.
Oh.

That's probably like a--
That's about five feet...

and the sink
it's an undermount sink.

Cool.

And then the stove
will be right here.

And then there'll be
a small section
of countertop...

Nice.
...right there.

And then that frees up
all that space
you could have a table here.

Everything Chase
does works out and afterwards

I'm like, "I see it."

But a lot of times I'm like,
"What the heck is he doing?"

But only Chase would get
a free countertop

and then buy $1,000 cabinets
to put under it.

We stick here
at the Morrill camp.

Beautiful spring day.

We're not wishing away
winter just yet,

but it's warming up
and it's really nice.

Our front door
finally came in,

so we were able
to rip out the old door,
rip off the old trim

just to see
what we were working with.

Fortunately,
we haven't had to deal
with too much rot here,

one little spot
in the backside,

but now we're finding,
we've got rot here
on this front door.

Week six, we've got rot here
on this front door.

I would assume
mainly the weather
coming off the lake,

getting the front of the cabin

creates a lot of moisture
right out front.

So, what we're gonna do
is we're gonna cut
all these bad,

we're gonna get rid
of all this rotten plywood.

We'll be able to fill
this right back in,

we'll use a little bit
of pressure treated.

It's gonna last a lot longer.

And then,
once we get this patched in,

we'll be able
to put our door in
and close it off.

Today we're at Woodlab's
to meet Joe Seremeth,

he's going to make
the cabinets for our camp
in Monmouth.

Good morning.
Hey, Chase.

How is it going?
Good, how is it going?

Good, good.
Welcome to Woodlab.

Nice place.

You know,
this is a unique situation.

We've got the countertop
and it's got a corner sink,

so it's hard
to find used cabinets
or salvaged cabinets to fit.

So, we modeled up your,
your little kitchen here.

We're trying to figure
out how to get that

inside corner
sink area dialed in.

So you're not
worried about it?

No.
Oh, good. Fantastic.

I don't really worry about any of this stuff.
Fantastic.

No way.

On most of our cabins
that we do, you know,

I show up with a set
of used cabinets, and say,

"Dixie make this work."

In this situation,
I showed Joe and, you know,
I was like,

"We've got this countertop,
make the cabinets fit"

and he's got the technology
and the know how to do that.

What else do you
really need from me?

I mean, really nothing.

You've given me
all the dimension

and now we'll just finalize
our little design and make it.

It's my wife's camp.

She will be thrilled to see,
you know, such a nice kitchen.

I don't think she necessarily
expects this from me.

Yeah. Yeah.

So, yeah,
I really appreciate you guys
working with us

and just let me know when it's ready.
Okay, we will.

We're excited, thanks.
Thank you.

Joe and Spencer were able
to design the cabinet layout
on the computer

and they've got
a manufacturing shop
right there

so they can do custom work
which really
will help us make

the cabinets fit
with the countertop
and fit in the space.

It's week six
and the wind is howling,

it is negative
five degrees out here.

Winter has not gone yet,
so we shifted all our forces
to the inside.

We got our loads of uh,
sheathing yesterday,

so we're just putting up
the pine on the inside,

playing
a little game with dice.

I don't really wanna
dump on Chase's idea
of color scheme, but...

Chase gave us three
different colors
of sheathing boards

and told us to
put them up at random,

well, there's more
than random colors.

There's just random sizes,
random widths stuff

is kind of
all over the place.

If he would've sit here
and try to figure out

how many blue pieces
you have at three feet,

how many blue pieces
you have at eight feet
and how many brown

and, it's just,
you'd be here all day
scratching your head

and he would look back
and he'd be like,

"My pattern look stupid."

So, in order to mix these up,
we're gonna roll the dice.

I've got a "W"
for white on one side.

I've got a "B"
for blue on the other side,

and I've got a darkened
for brown on the other.

So, anytime anybody
is bringing us a board,

they're just gonna roll
the dice,
go in and grab them.

We're gonna hold
on the measurement.

I need a white!

The dice never lie.

Sarah and I love funky design
and I'll save money.

We had some leftover sheathing
from in the original camp,

we reused that,
but all the new stuff

we decide to go
with some funky colors.

We wanna see what Matt
and Jedi and his crew can do
with the mix of colors.

Loving the way
the kitchen's coming out,
looks really good.

I was a little skeptical
on the color pattern,

what we're gonna have
for a pattern

where it was gonna fall,
what it was gonna look like.

But once we've got it all up
and it's randomized,

I think it looks pretty good.

We are down to the wire,
week and a half have to go.

Last week we were
on the 40's and 50's,

you know, half of us
wearing t-shirts working,

you know, doing
some sidenote here but uh,

only a matter of days
and temp dropped on us.

Lot of our stuff done,
so we can concentrate
on the floors now.

Floors generally one
of the last things
you wanna do

just cause' you don't wanna
put it down there,

have nice new floors
and mess them all up.

So, Scott and I
are getting started here,

getting that laid down,
locked in proper.

Once that's laid down,
we can start in and
we can floor this place out.

When you first block
into a room,

a room will always look bigger
if you run your floors
lengthwise with the room,

so I wanted to get
that first run

all the way down the kitchen,
all through the hallway

and into the living room,
as my main starting course.

And then I can take it
in both directions,

get into the bedrooms,
get into the kitchen,

get into the living room
with all on the same course

and not have
the floors chopped off
all over the place.

Come on,
best friends.

Today, Chase and I
are at the workshop

and the kids are gonna join us
to make cool art pieces

to remind us of Mimi Eva
and to show Sarah
how much we love her.

I mean, Mimi Eva,
we all know loves birds,

so we were just thinking to...
we do something nice

to remember Mimi Eva
for the camp. For your mother.

Aw.
Yes.

So now, look at these all
of your memories from the trip
to get inspired.

Four big trips,
South Africa, Italy,

Guadalupe, and Costa Rica.

So we can come up
with four fish and birds,
one for each trip.

The kids have been asking
constantly how progress
is going,

they wanna be involved

so we figured
this is great way
to get them involved

but still keep the camp
a surprise for them as well.

Fletcher and I will work together.
Okay.

I'll work with these two.

Mimi and Eva, you two work together.
Oh, no!

We invited
my mother as well,

cause' she's been
in all these trips with us

and, you know, she loved
Mimi Eva just as much.

You guys have South Africa,
you guys have what?

You guys go Guadalupe?
Oh, Guadalupe.

What trip do you want?

Italy.

With the four big trips
as inspiration,
we decided to split in groups.

I'm just gonna do
Costa Rica by myself.

What, we want a big board,
do we want this little...

Look, we've got these two, Fletcher.

So, what's our plan?
This, we can make that an eye.

I think it's beautiful.

Does it need a nose,
does fish have nose?

Absolutely.

I am trying to think
outside the box.

And what I really wanna do
I think is take this chain

and cut it and then
kinda have it going
on top of it, maybe?

I think that might be
kinda cool.

Does it has to be
a fish or a bird

or can it just be an abstract?

No, Ashley!
No, it has to be an actual fish or a bird!

Okay.

I don't really have any sort
of plan for this project,

I knew Chase had something
in mind and I knew
he had a ton of stuff.

Fletcher!

Most of that stuff
is just stuff cleaned out
of my truck,

cleaned out of basements,
cleaned out of houses.

So it's good use
of just random junk.

Every time I have
a project with you guys,
Chase leaves us.

Kids are
extremely creative,

they gotta warm up,
you gotta pull it out of them
a little bit

to get excited
but, they're gonna have fun,

be creative and come
with something special
to remember Mimi Eva.

Is everyone done?
Yeah.

Let's see them.
Hold them up, guys.

Let's see your...
Look at this bird!

That's a,
that's a cute elephant.

You didn't follow the rules.

I think
that you're disqualified.

Sarah is gonna love it.

It says, "Sarah and C.M."

All right.
Let's see yours, Eva and Mom.

Oh, Eve, hold eyes up. Guadalupe.

Hold up.
Oh, that one's cool. Mom.

Nice.
Your bird is almost done.

It's from Guadalupe too.

This is our fish from Italy.
The exact fish we saw.

Yeah. The exact we saw.
Is the exact one.

I'll show you guys mine.

Mine is from, mine is
from your worst nightmare.

Is it a bird or a fish?

Is like a fish you make
to scare off the fish
in real life.

That's what my fish is.

All right,
Maggie and Nori won,
so they clean up.

You guys are winners,
you clean up.

Thank you everybody
for doing this with us today.

Thanks, mom. Thanks Eva.

Things will look
exactly the same.

Thank you.
It will look exactly how you left it.

When we came in today
it was just nasty.

The quonset was all crushed,
it was stuff everywhere

I mean it kinda looked
like Chase's yacht but,

this isn't Chase's yacht.

What a mess!

What a pity, what a pity.

It's been
an extremely windy winter.

We've lost power
a bunch of times

and with wind
whipping off the lake,
we really feel it right here.

This is one
of the worsts days
we've been here.

-
Is muddy but, there's no time left.
We're gonna get it done.

I heard that it's collapsed,
so I was just coming out

to help you guys pick it up.

Hey, thanks.

So, Chase's makeshift garage
fell down and collapsed,

things took a turn
for the worse

and we had to remove
all the stakes.

Where are they?
Eye bolts.

Well, how did they get
in there?

Somebody screwed them in.

Oh, for the tent?
Yeah.

So you just gotta go
round and round?

Round and round
and round she goes.

Lefty loosey.

Where does she ends?
Nobody knows.

A turn like this.

Yeah.
I was dizzy after about four of those.

No, no, no, no.
Done.

Wow. That's cool.

Screams, "Chase Morrill!"

This is totally Chase!

I love it.
It's totally different.

The random color siding,
it wouldn't been
my first choice

but then, once I was
in there, I really loved it.

I know this is Chase
and Sarah's style.

Funky.
They love the funky.

They all matched really well,
so it works.

Hmm.

We have all those fish.

I'm gonna need to find
a place for them.

My question is,
I'm trying to figure out
do I put them all together?

Or do I just place them
throughout the camp?

They're definitely gonna add
to the funky style

of this place,
that's for sure.

I'll have you work with Joe.

Okay.

The big goals today is to get
the kitchen installed,

get Doug to finish up
the plumbing and do
a good clean up.

What's up, dudes?

Good morning.
What's happening?

That's good. How you doing?
Good.

I had the countertop,
and it was pretty unique

because it had a corner sink,
brought it down to Joe

and he was able to design kind
of what we needed on the cab,

manufacturing it
in his workshop.

He brought it up today
and, you know,

he's helping us
getting it installed.

Ready? One, two, three.

Sometimes
my brother-in-law thinks
he's saving money,

but he doesn't realize
it might cost some more,

but that corner
countertop he got

actually costs us
a lot of time and money.

He saved money
on the walls.
The walls look great.

But he had
custom cabinets made
for free countertops.

I know,
but this is just total Chase.

But the thing is that
that's one thing that
Mimi Eva loved about Chase

his building style
and his frugalness,

and his way
that he reused the sink.

So this is totally up
Mimi Eva and Sarah's style.

Let me put this
in Ashley terms.

Don't you think?
This is like getting free tires and rims

and then buy a car for them.

So hot kitchen right there.

It's gonna be awesome
when we stay here, Ryan.

I can't have a kink in
that new dishes.

Yeah, we'll be doing dishes,
cooking, looking out
the window.

Chase swimming.
Lies.

You think
we're not gonna stay here?

No, I don't think
you're gonna be cooking.

Oh, yeah.

Perfect.

Oh!
Looks all good, the real cast.

The team really
did a great job on this camp.

That is kinda
fancy on us.

You know,
really is up to Ashley now

but I think we're all happy
with the final product.

Winter back?

Place looks great.
Looks nice.

It does.
Very nice.

Sarah and the kids
are gonna be thrilled.

Once we get in our
fish and get it all decorated,

it's gonna just be
all Mimi Eva.

One more cheer
for Mimi Eva on three.

It's in Ashley's hand's now,
let's get out of here.

One, two, three.

Mimi Eva!

Viva Mimi Eva!

It reminds me
of Mimi Eva, you guys.

It's like warm and sweet.

Oh, my goodness.

Wow!

The design team
was able to battle
through the mud.

We got in all
of Mimi Eva's furniture
and the stuff from her condo.

It's really great to be able
to use all of her art

and her decorations
and everything
to decorate the cabin.

Her condo was in Florida,
it definitely has
a Florida vibe,

but I definitely wanna
bring in some Maine to it.

Gus, what you think
about it going here?

Okay, great.

When I'm stuck with any sort
of design decision, Gus
always has the right answer.

So we're having
the elephant there
and the bird here.

He knows what colors I like,

he's just overall
the best assistant
a girl could ask for.

Gussy and I decided
where we're gonna put
all these sculptures.

Okay.

So if you just
help me get them up,
then the place is good.

All right.

Go home and change
and be ready for the reveal.

Where would you like them?

We had $40,000 and 12 weeks
to get this project done.

Sarah really wanted
more light into the camp,

just update the walls,
floors, ceilings.

Just make it more comfortable

and really just
a place to remember
and honor Mimi Eva.

This is pretty special.

I think Mimi Eva is with us.
Definitely.

She's definitely
watching us.

Yeah, she made
this road horrible
on purpose.

She loved
a good mountain.

No, she didn't.
Yeah, she did not.

I'll just think about it,
we're gonna have a place
in the lake on the summer.

I'm so excited.
Oh, my goodness.

It's already an adventure.

Come on in, Sarah.

They made it through the mud.

Oh, look,
there's Dad and Auntie.

It reminds me of Mimi Eva,
you guys.

It's like warm and sweet and...
Yeah.

All right, you guys,
let's go see them!

Hi, guys!
Oh, my goodness.

Hi!

Where are we?
This place looks amazing.

Oh!

I, I was blown away.

It's amazing,
I can't even believe
it's the same place.

The outside looks brand new.

Get in here!

Oh!

Try to get a hug
from your kids anytime you can
so, huge success.

All new siding?

-
It's amazing.
Yes.

Beautiful.
We thought you'd like the color.

We love the color,
so nice.

Pretty, isn't it?
It's beautiful.

We put a new skirting down.
I removed the oil drum.

I miss them already.

All new electrical,
all new plumbing.

Wow.
Yeah. Bruised up the firepit.

Looks so cozy and nice.

No, reminds me of Mimi Eva
somehow, I don't know why.

Wait till' you go inside.

Oh, my goodness.

Wow!

Wow.
This is the best way to crib.

Yeah.

Oh, look at this wall.
This is amazing!

It's Mimi's house.

The tricolor walls,
which I love so much,

it feels super
just modern and cozy
and really comfortable.

So remember
before in the kitchen,

the stove and the fridge
were over there.

So, we ended up, you know,
putting a big window.

Oh, my goodness.

And we were able to get
all the kitchen on this side.

Were you expecting
brand new cabinets
from your husband?

I wasn't expecting
brand new anything.

Kitchen's amazing,
the cabinets are beautiful,

and the countertop
is just stunning.

Wow!
Oh, my goodness.

Look at the art
from Mimi's house!

All right, I've got
some explaining to do

about some art pieces
in here.

Look
at these amazing art pieces.

You wanna know
who made them?

You made these?
Yeah.

Mimi is that one,
Mimi and Eva.

Mimi Peggy.

And then Mimi
and Natalie and Eva
also made that one.

And Peggy made that bird?

Yes.

Me and Dad
did the elephant.

So we each kinda got,
took our inspiration,
from our trip.

It's an elephant for Mimi Eva.

Yeah.
That's really sweet.

I went into the fieldtrip
with this lady.

It's called rug hooking.
Yeah. Oh, my gosh!

Aw!
Isn't that cool?

I know.

It's really cool,
it's really well done.

Oh, my God, the pictures!

My mom had
a pretty nice collection
of like Florida artwork.

All of the paintings
that are hanging in the camp

were in her condo,
but somehow,

they made those paintings
look absolutely perfect.

Bathroom.
Bathroom.

Wow, is a really
nice bathroom.

I think she would love this,
and I think she would
love it more,

cause Chase and Ryan
and Ashley and those guys
built it for her.

And then,
this is the second bedroom.

Oh, my goodness.

I think Mimi would love
this camp.

I think it was just her style.

It's like
a super cute place with like,

it's super chill and I think
it's gonna be really fun.

It looks like our
special guest have arrived.

Let's go out to the fire.
Oh, look, Ryan's here.

Yay.
Look at our camp!

How was that?
Mimi! Ryan!

Hi, guys.
Hi.

They loved it.
Hello.

Hello. Aw!
Oh!

I think it's really cool
to have a place
that I can come here

to sort of feel close to her

in a space that feels,
you know, more like hers.

I hope we honored your mom
and Mimi Eva in a good way.

Absolutely.

No, I'm so incredibly amazed
by how beautiful it is.

Good. The guys put
some extra love into it.

Well, yeah, I mean she's here.

Thank you Chase, Ryan,
Ashley, Jedi, Dixie
and everybody else.

We are so lucky
and this place is amazing,

and you're all invited
to a big party.

Mimi Eva!
