[Chase] So how did you end up
with a post office?

Submitted a $25 bid,

lo and behold, we ended up...

- [Ashley] No way, wow!
- [David] ...in the old Manchester post office.

[Ryan] Jedi is going
to lasso the tree,

and tie the rope to my truck.

As he is cutting it, I'm going
to slowly back up,

pull the tree away
from the house,

and everything's going
to be perfectly safe.

Foolproof.

[Ryan] I've seen that
a million times,

and it doesn't work
like it's supposed to.

It looks wonky.

[Dixie] We had the tape
measure, we were measuring,

It slipped of my belt
and it rolled off the roof.

Oh, boy, that sounds deadly.

Hi!

[Chase] Welcome to your old
post office.

I love it.

[Ryan] I wasn't expecting this,
this morning when you called us.

- [Chase] I know. Sorry, we had only two electrics.
- [Ashley] Look at you.

Good thing you brought
your helmet.

Chase showed up this morning
with a couple of scooters

and he said let's go.

And we're like, "All right."

Poor Ryan. He got himself
a workout.

For some reason, you didn't
get three motorized scooters.

[Ryan] Where are we headed?

[Chase] We're headed to meet
David and Diana Worthing.

And they live right
in Manchester.

And they actually own
the original post office

for Manchester, Maine.

- [Ashley] And then moved up here?
- [Chase] Yeah.

[Ashley] And why the scooters?
Might I ask?

[Chase] Mail used to be
delivered in the 1900s by scooter...

- What?
- [Chase] ...so, it just seemed fitting.

We had a lot of fun riding
those scooters.

I had a great time trying
to keep up with them,

watching them zip around on
electric scooters. It was a blast.

- [Ryan] There they are.
- [Ashley] Hi.

- Hey, how are you doing, guys?
- Hi.

- [Ashley] Can't wave.
- [David laughs]

Oh!

Phew! We made it.

- [David] Hello.
- [Ryan] Hi, guys.

[Ryan] Nice to meet ya.

I'm Diana Worthing.

And I'm David, her husband.

David and I, became involved

with the Manchester
historical society

which concentrates on the
preservation of the history of Manchester.

This post office building
was an active post office

from 1945 to 1962.

[David] What happened
then was that,

the town of Manchester moved
the old post office down to...

right down beside
the Manchester town office.

Chase tells me,
you have a post office.

[Diana] We do. It's way down
in the backfield.

[Chase] So, how did you end up
with the post office?

The town said, "Well,
we got two options.

We either gonna tear this
building down and have it hauled off,

or we'll put it out to bid."

So, once I heard that,
I went down,

I submitted a $25 bid,

- lo and behold, we ended up...
- [Ashley] No way.

with the old Manchester
post office.

Actually, the deed
goes back to 1834.

[Ashley] And now, you want
to change it into a cabin?

[Diana] We have two sons.

One is married and has
two children.

And it would be so nice
for everyone

to be able to get together
and go down there.

Really hope to have
a screened-in porch,

- [Chase] And you want to keep it off the grid.
- [Diana] Yes.

- So, no kitchen, no bathroom, just make it nice.
- Outhouse.

We would like to... we would
like to have an outhouse.

[Ashley] Are there any colors
that you are leaning towards?

I would love to see it, maybe,
a colonial red,

- or something like that.
- [Ashley] Okay.

We would like to have,
maybe, one room.

For a bedroom or cots,
or whatever.

Maybe a loft upstairs if
it's... if it's high up enough.

And how much are you looking
to put into the cabin?

- 25,000.
- [Chase] Okay.

And when do you need
the cabin back?

- How does eight weeks sound?
- [Chase] Sounds great!

Bathroom, some sort of outhouse
system, keep it off the grid,

- place for your family to hang out.
- [Diana] Right.

25,000 in eight weeks.

We just need a set of keys.

I think David has your choice
of transportation out there.

[David] Right. You can either
go by a wheelbarrow

or a golf cart there.

- [Ryan] Oh, man. All right.
- [Ashley] Taken a lot of...

a lot of different modes of
transportation to get to the job today.

- [Ryan] All right.
- [Ashley] I'll see you, guys.

-[Ashley] Whoa!
-[Ryan] Oh, yeah, baby. Hold on.

[Chase] We met David and Diana
right at their house,

they kind of, showed us
where to head

and they were kind enough
to lend us a golf cart,

to get down to the far end
of their field.

About 10-15 years ago, they had this
old post office hauled into their property.

They had plans to do something
with it and never got around to it,

so that's why they're calling us, to
come in, just make it more livable,

and make a space for them
to hang out in the summer time.

And have their family down
and really just enjoy their property.

Camp's kind of, hidden, at
the end it feels kind of, nice.

And then, it has a little
open area around it

but it's kind of nestled
in the woods,

it's the perfect spot.

They didn't plan on any expansion
when they placed it around all those trees.

[Ashley] That is cute.

Oh, my gosh.
Look at those flower pots.

- [Ashley] Oh, boy.
- We got a little rot.

[Ashley] Oh, boy.

[Chase] First thing you
notice is, it's old cedar shakes

and there some rot along
the bottom sill in the front.

But we got down
and the ground looked...

It's up off the ground,
it's six by sixes, so,

get it jacked up,
get it on it, re-post it,

get some rotten sills
replaced, but it's...

it's already high and dry,
you know...

That... that's one of the good
things that David and his brother did

when they moved it here,

is they kept it up off the
ground so it didn't rot any further.

- [Ryan] Wow!
- [Ashley] Oh!

[Ashley] There's not much
to it. Is there?

[Ryan] The floors look original.

- She got a funky smell, doesn't she?
- Funky smell for sure.

How are we guys gonna work
in here at the same time?

[Ryan and Chase laugh]

[Ashley] You know,
really like, you're buddies.

David and Diana have $25,000
to renovate their old post office.

They are looking on the interior
to clean it up, have sleeping space,

a loft area
and a screened-in porch.

[Ryan] That's where the porch
is going to go.

Perfect. There's a door there. Why
don't we put the porch right there?

- [Ryan] Why wouldn't you?
- Why wouldn't you?

[Ashley] What do you think
they want their view to be?

Honey, we just saved a thousand
bucks by just seeing that door.

Oh, whatever. You could just
take and rip it--

[Chase] Where would you
like to see the porch?

Well, let me go outside
and find out.

Um, let's see.

Well, if we could clean up
all this mess

then I think the porch
would be okay on this side.

This does need some
clean up out here.

[Ashley] 'Cause we definitely
can't have them looking at this junk.

Really, it's just getting
it stripped back,

- and cut a couple trees.
- Yeah.

New porch. We'll definitely get
some heavy equipment in here

to clean it up a little better.

We're going to build
an outhouse building as well.

[Ashley] I like that idea.

[Chase] On the outside it definitely
needs to be jacked and leveled.

Screened-in porch, new roof,
new siding.

This should be good.

[Ashley] All right, it sounds
like we have a plan,

let's get back to our golf cart
and then back to our scooters,

and then we'll be home. Who's
gonna call the guys today?

- [Ashley] Chase, I vote you.
- [Chase] Okay.

[Ryan] This is it.

Perfect camp for a small crew.

[Chase] It's true.

[Ryan] We've got Ashley and the
dogs, that can be enough people.

I know we don't have
very many beards, so...

[Ryan laughing]

I'll make sure to bring
an extra one,

so I could really fit in today.

- [Chase] Perfect.
- [Ryan] Grab a hammer.

I know it's spread out
pretty thin. Is this all we got?

- Day off from school?
- Yeah.

[Chase] Perfect. We got one
more secret weapon coming.

[engine revving]

- [Ashley] I see.
- [Ryan] Here he comes.

- Oh, oh, yeah.
- [all chuckling]

[Ryan] Back at the Worthing
camp, for demo,

and you know, we normally
call the guys

and we called the guys and it
wasn't exactly what I was thinking.

We've got one more guy coming.

[engine revving]

[Chase laughing]

- [Ashley] I see.
- [Chase] Here he comes.

[Ryan] Oh, here we go.

[Chase] He took his own
ride today.

[Ashley] I think he'll
recognize his auntie, uncle.

- [Ashley] Fletcher!
- [Fletcher] Hey, Ashley!

- [Ashley] Hi!
- [Fletcher] Hi!

[Ashley] Today, we have Chase,
Ryan and then Corbin and Fletcher and I.

So we got an "A" team.

- Let's go.
- Let's do it.

- Let do this.
- Its family day.

[Ashley] Family day.
Just us guys.

The cabin was the original
post office,

I think it had a few different
uses in between then.

And when the Worthings got
it, they brought it, set it up here.

The base it's six by six,
sills worn, edges rotted.

Shouldn't be that much to replace
because it's sitting high and dry.

So, replace the rotted sill,
get it jacked and leveled

and you know, overall
it's a pretty solid camp.

We can do a little exploring,

- do a little clean up-- - [Ashley] How
do you guys work with these beards on?

- [Ashley] All right.
- [Chase] So we'll start by getting

- all the wood and stuff out and then...
- [Ryan] Go from there.

- Ugh!
- Ugh!

Oh, she's beautiful.
This shouldn't take long.

Look here, we've pink
blankets too. You want one?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

You know, a project like this
is cool. There's no rules, really.

You know, there no
plumbing, there's no water.

So we can pretty much do
what we want.

Pretty nasty place.

[Ashley] That's a nice
mailbox. What's it doing here?

- [Fletcher] This is a post office.
- Yeah, I know.

[Fletcher] Post office,
you put the mail--

Post office brings the mail
to the mailbox.

So, maybe they have a
mailbox to put their own mail in it.

This post office is like, 100 years
old and this mailbox is quite new.

Manchester must have not been that very
popular back in the day, it's very small.

Hard to believe
this was a post office.

It is hard to believe
this was a post office.

[Ryan] This place gives you a
little vertigo after a while, it's so...

it's so tilted.

[Chase] It does.

All right. Maybe we can do
something with this, Fletcher...

I feel like the camp, I'll
flip-flop the colors a little bit,

not necessarily the blue trim

but I feel like I'll take the
color of the red trim here,

and make that the body,

'cause she really said
she likes that antique red.

[Ryan] You can just see the mice
have eaten tunnels through all this.

Ugh.

[Fletcher] Oh!

[Chase] There wasn't a ton to do but
we wanted to pull out all the insulation,

get the wiring stripped back,

get the walls, you know, get everything
out of there, get it cleaned out,

let it air out.

[Ryan] You gotta get mad.

- Huh, I don't know how.
- [Ryan] You gotta.

[door opens]

[Ryan] Oh, it's coming
back at ya.

- [Chase] There we go.
- [Ryan] Now we got a doorway.

[Ryan] See I'm glad you did that

'cause I probably would have
kept going through the door.

[Ryan] We're gonna get down
to all the original framing

so we can pop, like, there's
a stud here just for sheet rock,

so we can get these boards out,

get it right down the original
framing, sweep it out,

leave the windows cracked
and let some air in here.

So, a good week of that or
so, will really help this place out.

- Don't take that.
- [Corbin] Are you throwing it at me?

[Fletcher] No, I'm not. I'm
just putting it to the side.

- You guys find anything good?
- Yeah!

[Ashley] A lot of times when
people own a big huge property,

in the old days they would
take and use it as a dump site.

So, that's what they did.
It's a normal thing.

[Ashley] I think
I found an old red box.

- [Fletcher] Nice.
- [Corbin] Nice.

[Ashley] You know what,
let's look at it.

What does it say? Oh, I think
we found a mailbox.

- Yeah, that's what I thought too.
- You thought it was a mailbox?

[Fletcher] Yes, that's what
I just said.

I guess that would make
a postmaster. Postmaster!

Hey! This is cool.

Oh, look, what does that say?

- [Fletcher] I can't see anything.
- [Ashley] Worthing.

- [Fletcher] Oh, yeah.
- [Ashley] Oh, that's the name of the camp owners.

Oh, yeah. That's cool.

Well, why they did they
get rid of this mailbox?

Put it over in the trash?

You are your father's son.

Well, I think that this stuff
is at least worth saving.

[both] Yeah.

- I got my treasure.
- Yup.

[Ashley] Let me know if you
guys find anything else cool.

[Corbin] Okay.

[Ashley] I mean, I found
an old mailbox

and this is an old post office,

so, I mean, I feel like
that's at least worth saving.

Maybe I can make something
out of it, who knows.

[Ryan] Let's see what they did
outside.

[Chase] We'll leave the doors
open.

[Chase] Let the place air out.

[Ryan] I thought you guys
are supposed to pick it up.

[Chase] Yeah, there's more trash
piled around here than there was before.

[Ryan] We got the place
cleaned out.

Now we're going to leave the
windows and doors open for a while.

[Ashley]
Yeah, I don't blame you.

All right.
Well, this was a good day.

- Cool, let's get out of here.
- All right.

[Ryan] Nice job, guys.

[Jedi] We're here
at the Worthing camp,

ripping and tearing this place.

We're going to get this place
torn apart,

get it opened up and try to
figure out what we need to do.

The main goal right now
is get everything opened up

so we can find out
what our sills look like,

see if there's any rot going on
down at the base of the camp.

Once we've got that determined
we can get it straight, locked in,

and go from there.

Things went really well here.

Getting everything cleaned up,
straightened up.

Shingles came off really easy.

Luckily, there was not
a lot of rot in the sills,

and we're ready to start
jacking and leveling the place.

One thing you have to be careful for,
when you're jacking and leveling place,

is to jack it evenly, uh,
throughout as you go up.

If you go too much
one way or another,

the building will shift
and twist,

uh, which in a lot of cases it will
cause windows to pop and break.

If you're doing it all equal, all
even, all the way up through,

you won't have any broken panes.

Now we've got it jacked,
almost leveled,

just going to put our pucks
and our posts in,

and then, the camp's
going to be set and solid.

[machine whirring]

This Worthing spot is, uh,
very cool.

Right out in the middle
of nowhere,

surrounded by huge fields,

forest right behind it,
forest right in front of it,

it's just a cool little cabin.

[machine whirring]

[Jedi] Spring is here.

We're on day six or seven maybe.

Got almost everything done, prepped,
got the camp jacked and leveled up.

We had a few problem trees

that were right close
to the camp,

so, we wanted to spend the day
today and clean up all the trees.

Heads up.

[machine whirring]

[Jedi] We've got just one problem
tree that we're about to tackle next,

we can see here this guy,
really close to the cabin.

Um, as it grows up
it kicks over a little more

and majority of the weight is
up there leaning over the cabin.

So, what we're gonna do,
we're gonna get a rope around it,

we're gonna get a truck
out here in the field,

we're gonna give it a little
pull as we cut it.

Hopefully, it'll take off
right for the field.

[Ryan] We gotta get a rope up,
as high as we can.

[Jedi] Yeah.

I'm not gonna lie. It was a little
nerve-wracking climbing that wobbly tree.

There's about 20 more feet,
we have a hundred foot rope,

so if I go, I have to go
all the way out.

- [Jedi] Yeah.
- But we'll be fine.

[Ryan] This is a foolproof plan.

Jedi is gonna lasso the tree
and tie the rope to my truck.

As he's cutting it,
I'm gonna slowly back up,

pull the tree away
from the house

and everything's gonna be
perfectly safe.

Foolproof.

All right. Here we go.

[machine whirring]

Lumberjack Jedi.

[machine whirring]

[Ryan] All right. Here we go.

[machine whirring]

[Jedi] All heads up!

[machine whirring]

[Ryan] Week two at the old
Manchester post office.

Jedi is cutting down
a huge tree,

and I'm pulling away
with my truck.

Pretty standard stuff.

All right, here we go.

[machine whirring]

Here it goes.

[Jedi] All heads up!

Just like that.

You can't teach that.

If we would have pulled any other
way, that tree would have swung.

You know, but he had it perfect
and he had me lined up perfect

and it literally went
right up over.

So, it was awesome.

That was perfect, bud, nice cut.

Getting here today, we're gonna set
those guys up for success next week.

Jed and I also had a little
bit of extra time,

we got the area ground where
the carrying beam is going to go

for the screened-in porch.

So when they get here Monday,
it's go time.

[car honking]

- What you doing?
- [Chase] Cleaning.

[Chase] What are you doing?
Delivering mail?

Yeah, I got a new job.

Great.

Got a new job,
delivering the mail, man.

I need you to help me, please.

You know, how the Worthing
camp had these old like,

- broken down flower boxes?
- [Chase] Yes.

So, I thought that we could
just turn this into a flower box,

- that'd be cute.
- Okay.

A nice red flag, they could
be like that, if they need water.

So, I was at the Worthing camp,

I was looking around,
and found an old mailbox.

I came up with this idea, why don't I
make some planters out of this old mailbox.

We did find some old mailboxes
around the property,

but I thought the new one
is a little bit nicer.

So there we go.

And then thinking about it, I kind of
wanted to have all the planters the same.

So, I ended up getting
new mailboxes

and it's going to be great because the
black actually is going to look really nice

'cause it's going
to complement the roof.

Which way your spark's
going to be flying?

Um, we'll find out!

So, in order to transform these
from regular mailboxes into a planter,

it's not that hard
of a project...

[machine whirring]

[Ashley] ...Chase got
the angle grinder out,

folded them down, so no one would
cut themselves on the sharp edges...

put in two flowers and boom.

We have beautiful awesome
window planters.

Here we go.

Put the flowers in the pot.

There you go, time to water.
Put up your flag.

This is gonna be so cute.

We got... I have three
of them. One for each window.

Now that I know that,
what they're gonna look like,

the next step is to take them
over to the camp

and then I will plant
them properly,

and it'll be just nice little pops
of color for the Worthing camp.

They're gonna look really cute
on the camp.

It's a nice touch post office.
Thanks for your help today.

- [Chase] Sure thing.
- [Ashley] Time for watering.

- [Chase] All right.
- [Ashley] We're outta here.

Spring is here,
it's almost summer,

got the camp totally
stripped back,

and the screened-in porch
floor deck is all framed up

and now it's a matter
of setting the upright posts,

the headers in order
to support the rafters.

[machine whirring]

[Chase] Each camp is built
differently, each camp is unique.

And we try and take the idea
that the camp owner has

and translate it into the
actual camp and make it work.

Try and get everything to fit
together as best as possible.

It's definitely a fluid process,

things change, heights change,

but once we get an overall idea,

and get everything framed in,

then it's pretty
straightforward to rebuild it.

[machine whirring]

Today's focus is work on our
rafters, and get that roof sheath over.

[Chase] Things are looking
good at the Worthing camp.

It's week four and the camp
has more than doubled in size.

Camp was lifted up,
rotted sills replaced,

new posts, jacked, leveled...

screened-in porch,
wraps around the front,

we'll have screening
go around here,

everything is going
to be stained a historic red

to go along with
the post office theme.

Um, new windows, new doors.

We're gonna work on a new
roof today but it is looking good.

We got this beautiful new
screened-in porch.

It's gonna be wrapped
around screening,

this wall is gonna be closed in.

So new entry door onto the
screened-in porch here on the windows,

New entry door there,

this half will get a loft space,

and we'll get some wiring
in the walls,

close everything in with pine
and we'll be ready to go.

[Dixie] One of my biggest
concerns about being on the roof

is someone down below getting
hit with either a tape measure,

a piece of wood or a tool
or anything.

Hey, hey! That's greasy.

[Dixie] When Jared and I were
up on the roof,

and we had the tape measure,
we were measuring,

it slipped off my pocket,
off my belt,

and it's rolled off the roof.

Usually I got a long wingspan.

Obviously, if I'm on a ladder, I'm not
gonna make a dive for it or something.

Let's put screws on it.

Luckily, the tape measure hit
the ground and didn't hurt anyone.

[Chase] We're going with
a screw-down metal roof,

and we decided to go with black

because it's going to complement
that historic red stain very nicely.

It is week four
at the Worthing Camp,

summer's on its way and
we're making great progress.

Well, it seems to be
the season for roofing.

All construction companies
are pretty busy right now,

roofers have a pretty long
lead time.

So, unfortunately we are... we're
in the roofing business right now.

They're longer than they look.

Now, I gotta move that.

Stupid ladder.

Ryan loves screw-down roofing.

[Ryan] This is as timeless
as the U.S. postal service,

you know, over the years,
it's just stood the test of time,

It can take the rain, snow,
sleet winds...

except me not getting
a screw in.

Oop!

That's called character.

When installing a metal roof,
one of the biggest concerns is,

uh, the very sharp edges.

Handling it appropriately,
many hands makes easy work.

Sooner you can get the panel
down and in place

and have hands on it,
the better.

[Ashley] The Worthings have
asked me to stop by.

They have some really cool pieces
that they would like me to check out.

- Oh, hi!
- [Diana] Hi!

- [David] Hey, how are you doing, Ashley?
- [Ashley] Good.

[Ashley] So beautiful
out today, huh?

-[David] That it is. It's a great day.
-[Ashley laughs]

[Ashley] I like what
you have here.

These were all
in the old building?

- [David] Yes.
- [Diana] Yes.

It's crazy to me that David
bought this camp for $25.

These signs would be worth
hundreds of dollars in the antique stores.

The more that I could put
in that you have, the better.

Really, to be honest with you.

This thing, what is this?

[David] That is a surge
milking machine right there,

- that goes underneath the cow.
- [Ashley] Cool!

1964, when we were operating
the dairy farm,

my mother, she passed away
that year.

- She was 36 years old.
- [Ashley] Oh, wow.

And so, we journeyed on for
four more years running the farm

and it's pretty tough
to operate a dairy farm

- without a wife and a mother, so...
- [Ashley] Yeah.

four years later, uh,
my father called it quits.

We sold the cattle, the machinery and
we tore down the back half of the old barn.

[Ashley] This is what
remains of it.

[David] This is what
remains of it.

Well, then, I'll take extra
special care of it.

Really glad I stopped by.

I think David really wanted to
tell that story about his mom.

He was born and raised and used
to farm on this property right here.

Sometimes we learn little bits
as we start getting into the build.

I think I know the perfect
place for this sign.

I'm going to grab this today

and then I'll come back and
get a couple of the other stuff,

uh, when I have a truck.

- Wonderful.
- [Ashley] I'll see you in a few weeks.

- [David] That you will.
- [Ashley] Awesome. Bye, guys.

- [Diana] Bye.
- [David] You have a good day.

I mean it looks...
it looks good.

The screw-down metal roof
is a main staple for cabins,

You know, we love it.
We put up that roof in,

you know, four or five hours.

- Loft space?
- Yeah.

[Chase] I think it'd just be a
matter of putting a ledger...

- on this edge, right?
- [Jedi] Yeah.

[Chase] And running loft here.

I think it's a pretty wide span

but I've got some six inch,
you know,

- two by tongue and groove.
- [Jedi] Yup, yup, yup.

And it's not like, you're gonna
get a ton of people up there.

[Ryan] Trash.

Chase?

[Chase] What?

- [Ryan] Look what I found.
- [Chase] Look at that one.

What is that?

It's an old buggy seat.

- Further in you go, the older the stuff gets.
- Oh...

Oh, old carriage seat, right?

I wonder if they
delivered the mail in this.

It looks nice from here.

[Chase laughs]
It's looks really nice.

[Ryan] Yeah. Well, cool.
We shouldn't throw this away.

-[Chase] No, no, no. Let's clean that up.
-That's kinda neat.

[Chase] Make that into
a nice bench for them.

Ryan found a cool,
old buggy bench.

And I think, we can definitely find
a way to turn it into a nice bench.

Definitely do something
cool with it.

- [Ryan] That's old. Isn't it?
- That's real old.

[Chase] That's a keeper.
Keeper, keeper.

[Chase] Ryan found this old
bench at the Worthing camp,

I had these old rockers
in my barn

So, I decided to turn them
all into a swinging bench seat.

This is that old buggy seat that
came out of the Worthing camp,

ended up putting the board across
them the same width and length

as the buggy seat.

I must have something.

The goal is to tie this top seat
to these bottom glider boards,

glider rockers,
whatever you call them.

You know, those little ottoman rockers
are meant to be low to the ground.

And that would go like that.

[drill whirring]

There you go.

We're putting a new screened-in
porch on the Worthing camp

and it'll be nice to set
that rocker right out there,

place for them to just kick back,
relax and, uh, enjoy the view.

This old buggy seat was just
sitting out in the field rotting away,

it probably wouldn't have
lasted much longer

but now it, uh, has a little
bit more life to it.

This is one that we were able
to save and bring back to life.

All right. All done.
Ready to rock.

[Chase] So, the last two weeks the
weather's been working in our favor,

and we were able to get
the place entirely painted.

You know, it's all stained red.

Once that was done, we're
able to trim out the windows...

put on the side stairs, trim out
the screened porch windows,

screen it over, trim those out
and finish off the interior.

I mean for once, we've got
more time than we have money,

we've got an outhouse to build,

we're using as much scrap
as we can.

You know, it's just Ryan,
Jedi, Dixie and I, here.

And building a small structure like
this should take no time at all for us.

- [Dixie] Looks beautiful, Jared.
- [Jared] It looks awesome.

[Ryan] Yeah, I love the
colors. Came together solid.

When I pulled in today, I hadn't
seen it all painted and trimmed out,

It looks fabulous.
I love the black and red.

It's just very bold
and it all ties together.

[Chase] All right.
It's outhouse time.

[Chase] The build on the main
camp is complete.

Today, we are focusing
on building the outhouse.

Anywhere in the four by six,
big enough--

Five by seven, yeah.

- Big enough to open the door and sit down.
- [Dixie laughs]

We're building that house in
the shade close to our tool trailers,

but we will move it close to the camp
before we hand it back to Diana and David.

[Ryan] We've already gone
over the budgets,

so we are trying to find a way to
give them, you know, what they need.

That was a good budget
to start with,

now we gotta find an inexpensive way
to get them that bathroom close to camp.

We got more time than money.

We took a $25,000 budget
on this old post office.

Normally that would be great
but not this year.

The prices have doubled,
almost tripled.

We're trying to salvage
whatever we can, you know,

just scraps that are around,

so, this thing will come together
but it's not going to cost us a dime.

Just our time.

[saw whirring]

Right now, we're just gathering
all the materials that we need.

Um, figuring everything out
what we've got.

The size of our building
is going to be determined

from what we have
for materials, so,

it's just a matter of gathering
everything right now,

taking a look at it.

[Chase] Where you are, is
where the poop hole side will be.

- [Dixie] Poop hole?
- [Chase] That will go there.

-You want it here. Doesn't matter.
-No that's... that's perfect.

I was just thinking in here,
where it's closed in.

This is a very serious discussion
on where the hole is going to go.

- [Dixie] No hole.
- [Chase] No hole.

- [Ashley] We're building an outhouse today.
- [Dixie] Yes.

Whoo! Whoo!

This cabin is great. Um, it's
almost a hundred percent done.

There are some stairs that
do need to be worked on

but other than that
my team's ready to come in.

Oh, cool.

Looks great.

You know, when I walked into
this camp, I was blown away.

The camp
is completely different.

One of the big things
that Diana asked for

was extra sleeping space
for her grandchildren.

All right.

Looks like we have this extra sleeping
space up here which is really nice.

That loft is huge, there's gonna
be plenty of places to sleep.

[Dixie] Hi, buddy.

Platforms built, walls,
roof and door.

Can we level this thing?

[Dixie] It is definitely advisable
to build on level ground,

but that being said, as long as you cut
everything to the same measurements,

when you level the platform, it
should in theory level everything up.

[Ryan] I mean, it looks wonky.

[Dixie] Everything's all
of the same length.

I've seen that a million times and
it doesn't work like it's supposed to.

[Chase] When we first started
building, you know,

we didn't... we picked a spot.
It's not necessarily the flattest.

Um, it's on a slope,

[Ryan] To me, it looks
a little wonky.

[Ryan] You guys sure you
don't want to level this thing?

It... it looks wonky.

[Chase] You know,
it's such a small structure,

Ryan was worried about being
a little askew or anything like that

but when it all comes down to it,
everything's cut to the same length,

so get it into position, level
and stuff. It will look fine

I just jumped in wherever
I could help today.

Look at this fancy little stick.

Oh, I gotta go back to work.
I gotta finish this roof.

Gotta go finish the roof.

Let's do this, boys.

That outhouse is built with pretty
much every scrap that we had left,

Time for the roof.

I knew once we got
the roof on, we were done.

Is it roof time?

- Get them.
- Guys, it's roof time.

[Ashley] Time for the roof.

You know, these guys are
just twiddling their thumbs,

but, you know, let's get this roof
on and we can go home, guys.

Roof's done. Looks great.

- [Dixie] Looks really good.
- [Ashley] Really good.

[Ashley] Chase? Ryan?

[Ryan] Passes final inspection.

Because we were building on uneven
ground, the outhouse looked out of whack.

I was really worried it wasn't
going to come out level and plumb.

But all our measurements
are the same,

so, in theory, when we put it
back it's going to be perfect.

[Ashley] So it's our eighth and final
week, um, at the Worthing camp today.

So, me and my design team were able
to come in over the past couple of days.

Um, so the inside's
looking great.

It's a beautiful sunny day.

I've got a couple last
minute things to do.

And then this place
is looking great.

Suzie! Your dad is here?

Where's Jedi?

Pull up today to the cabin

with my mailbox planters,
getting ready to plant them.

And Jedi was already here
doing landscaping,

so, I asked him if he could
just help me install them.

All right. Time for flowering.

Pretty easy to install.

Just fasten some brackets
to the planters

and then fasten the planters
to the cabin.

Time to water.

[Chase] It's a hot, humid
and muggy day,

and there's a few projects
left to finish.

Now that we have the excavator,

we're gonna move the outhouse
closer to the camp,

to make it more accessible
and put it on solid ground.

Ah, keep coming, that way, yeah.

There's a little bit of fill that needs
to be filled in on the back landing

to bring that level up,

to set the set of stairs.

And it has some balance issues,

and we ended up lifting
the camp a good foot

to foot and a half
off the ground,

and with that screened-in
porch off the front,

I mean, you've got five or six
steps down from the screen inside,

and probably three or four
steps on the original entrance.

We want to try and bring up
the ground level on the back side,

so that, at most, it's one or
two steps, so it's easy access.

[Jedi] Come here, pretty girl.

[Ashley] Nice.

I think that this place looks
so great.

Smells pretty.
I love fresh flowers.

Oh, look who it is!

- Here you go. Last piece.
- I just finished up.

[Ashley] Right over here,
please. That's cool.

Let's try it out.

-[Ashley] Place looks awesome. Doesn't it?
-[Chase] Looks real good.

[Ashley] All right. Well, I am
sweaty and disgusting.

I'm gonna go home and change.

And then we'll meet
back here tonight.

- All right.
- Okay.

- You should probably change too.
- Yeah.

[Ashley] Yeah!

The camp is complete.

Tonight's the tonight
we return to sender.

- [Ashley] Looks great.
- [Chase] Done.

I just need to water
the plants real quick.

[Chase] With $25,000, eight
weeks to get this old post office

renovated into a cabin
for Diana and Dave.

Camp looks fantastic.

[Ashley] I know. They're never
gonna even believe it.

[Chase] They were looking
for a screened-in porch...

a small loft area, outhouse,

and just all around refreshing
of the old post office

that's been sitting out in
the field for plenty of years.

[Diana] Did you guys just
catch a glimpse of that?

I think, I'm going to cry.

When we drove down I could see
the back,

My first reaction was, "Oh,
my gosh! I love the color."

Oh, my gosh!

And I couldn't believe we
were even on the right road.

- [Diana] Oh, wow.
- [David] Here we are, guys.

- [Kyra] Uh-oh.
- [Diana] Oh, wow!

- [David] Almost there.
- [Diana] Oh, my gosh.

Hi!

- Hi, guys!
- Hey, how're you doing?

Come on over here.

We brought the grandkids
with us, Kyra and Dylan.

And we're so excited for them
to get in

and take a good look around
and see it.

I can't believe it.
I just can't believe it.

[Chase] Welcome to your
old post office.

[Kyra] It is beautiful.

[Diana] This is Kyra
and Dylan, our grandchildren,

- Ashley and Chase, guys.
- Kyra and Dylan.

[Chase and Ashley]
Nice to meet you, guys.

Wow.

- [David] This is sweet.
- [Ashley] What do you think?

[David] This is really nice.

[Diana] Amazing. I love it!

I love everything about it.

[Ashley] We had some fun making
these planters out of mailboxes.

[Diana] Oh, my gosh.
Oh, is that fabulous.

[Ashley] We had to carry
the theme.

[Diana] Mailbox window boxes,

I would never have even
given that a thought.

Those were fabulous.

- [Diana] Oh, wow!
- What a transformation!

Unbelievable.

It was in pretty rough shape
when we first got here.

- [David] Really, really nice.
- [Diana] Oh, it is beautiful.

[Ashley] Don't sell it for $25.

- Not a chance, not a chance.
- Serious cash we're talking now.

First thing was getting it a
little bit more off the ground.

We probably brought it up
another foot, foot and a half,

replaced some
of the rotted sills,

got it on new posts, new pads,

and put a screened-in porch
on the front of it.

Oh, do I love that?

[Chase] New windows, new
doors, new siding, new roof.

[David] That'll last
for decades to come.

-[Chase] Absolutely. Absolutely.
-[David] No question there.

- [Ashley] And...
- [Diana] I spotted that.

[David] Oh, I didn't
even see it.

-[Diana] I spotted that. I love it.
-[Ashley] Brand new outhouse.

- [David] Yeah. The essentials.
- [Ashley] It took five of us to build it.

[Ashley] We got it done.

And that's just the outside, why don't
you head on in and check out the inside?

[Diana] I can't wait.

Oh, my gosh!

This can't be the same place.

Oh, my gosh!

Oh, wow! Unbelievable.

[David] This is class
with a capital "C".

This is nice.

- [Diana] Oh! Oh! Oh!
- [David] This is nice...

[Chase] We left the floors,
we liked them,

you know, they give it
character and it's a cabin,

so, a piece of the history,
leave it right here.

[David] Just what... just what
I was hoping for.

The floor is exactly that's what I
was hoping how these would turn out.

You needed some extra, you know, space
for the family to hang out and here it is.

Oh, it's perfect.

-[Ashley] There's a loft upstairs,
-[Diana] Oh, my goodness.

[Ashley] Extra sleeping space.

- [Diana] How does it look, Dylan?
- [Dylan] It looks really good.

[Diana] Oh, wow!

Unbelievable. Oh, look at...

- [Diana] Look at that.
- [David] Wow, beautiful.

[Diana] Oh, this is perfect.
My gracious.

[David] You know what that
seat is.

That's... that's what I consider
intriguing design, distinctive character,

impeccable craftsmanship with attention
to detail. What a great job on that.

What a great idea!

I was just overwhelmed.

I couldn't take it all in.

Oh, my goodness!

-Oh, I know-- Oh, this is perfect.
-[Chase laughing]

You've heard the phraseology, "Take
a little trip and never leave the farm."

Well, that's just what we wanted and
that's just what we ended up with. Great.

You guys do such a fabulous job.

- More than doubles the size of your living space.
- [Diana] Yes.

And it's, you know, such a great
space to have in the summertime.

-Spring, summer and fall.
-[Ashley and Chase together] Yeah.

[Chase] You know,
we had eight weeks, $25,000,

your big request was, you know,
screened-in porch, loft area, outhouse,

a nice red, metal roof.

Oh you... you've far exceeded
our expectations, I've got to say.

We've exceeded expectations,
our job is done.

So, the keys are yours.

Oh, look at that!

- Thank you very much.
- Thank you.

Very welcome.

[David] Wasn't that many years ago that
Maine Cabin Masters were simply carpenters,

you could tell they were all
born with a hammer in the hand,

they just simply, uh, evolved

into Maine Cabin Masters,
really great carpenters

and, uh, real good people.

-Hi guys, come on in.
-Hey, welcome, guys. Come on in.

Thank you, Maine Cabin
Masters. We absolutely love it.

- Gorgeous.
- Now that is beautiful.
