00:00This program is rated G and considered acceptable for all ages.
00:16Ivanhoe, North Carolina. Beautiful little place. Perfect little cabin, about 700 square feet.
00:22The floor was in bad shape. I had to turn right into it. The roof we were planning on replacing
00:28next year. The decks are in shambles.
00:35Timber! We lifted it up, take the posts out, and the posts just fell down. So it's a good
00:42thing we're replacing that. We've got to put these strips 16 on center across this whole
00:47thing and go around the window. That way the siding can go up. Looks like we finally made
00:54it to the party. Yesterday I was as sick as I have been ever in my life.
00:58Wow. Wow. A bit of a change. Oh my gosh. They've been knocking it out of the park, man.
01:04Crew's been after it? Been after it. Inside, outside, all around.
01:08Hey, bud. I think you've noticed that we were one short this morning.
01:13You know, with my 30-some years of construction experience, renovation hunters is unlike anything
01:15I've ever experienced before. It is physically and mentally demanding for everybody. Sometimes
01:22it's a little more than what people are used to, and that's understandable. You know, we've
01:25had the unfortunate separation of a crew member. She's been a great crew member for the first
01:32two seasons, and we wish Christy Miller the best. Understand completely. You know, I hate losing one
01:39of the family, but, you know, people watch what these guys do. You can't get stuff built in a day or two days, and it comes with a pressure that's
01:46pretty intense. We'll get back on track and keep the family together as much as we can.
01:53She's been with us since the first one. It's not part of the family we want to lose. We're going to, you know, tighten up the shoestrings, get the elbows up, and we're going to work.
02:00We're going to work.

02:53Renovation Hunters is presented by Baird Brothers Fine Hardwoods.
03:23Well, it's down to just me for the shiplap, but fortunately, there's not too much left to do, and I'm tall enough to reach the ceiling, so I think it'll be all right.
03:43It's day four. I'm still working on the shiplap in the living room and kitchen area, and then I know the inspector is coming tomorrow morning, so I'm pretty sure it's going to be all hands on deck framing this new addition after lunch.
04:04After talking with Kevin, making sure everything was in line, moving forward, my main task was habitat, habitat, habitat, and we had quite a large task in front of us, but I had Kerry Tonnelly in from wildlife farming. What a worker he is.
04:23Does it get any prettier than this? It's beautiful. Can you imagine those three toms rolling in here all strutted up in this beautiful green field? Come on.
04:35Let's go look at this demo. Let's check it out. Because this is already done. We don't have to mess with this. We're going back here.
04:41I had met Hal years ago, and he felt like what we did with wildlife farming would be a great fit for the habitat side of renovation hunters.
04:51This is going to be a really, really good staging area, and like we were talking, this is thick through here.
05:00Super thick.
05:00Yeah, unpressured. These deer are going to take this path in. They're going to graze on their way in. It's going to allow to get some of those mature deer in the staging area that you're not going to see out here in these fields so early.
05:10So my thought is to spray a lot of this, but then let's bring the monster mower in here and just hammer all this down.
05:19And I want to take some of this out of here, but I want to leave select trees to be licking branch. You know what I'm saying?
05:27Let's take away all of them and give them select ones so we can concentrate.
05:31Right. Push them to one spot.
05:33So Hal has been a delight to be with this week. His passion for the food plot habitat side of these builds, I don't think people get to see that as much.
05:45I think he truly loves the outdoors, the habitat, and creating something out of nothing.
05:52It's very fulfilling to work with a guy that has as much passion as I do about this kind of stuff.
05:58I mean, we're going to get to work out. We're going to see what that monster mower is made of because...
06:03We're going to find out.
06:04Because you're going to have to cut. But if you look at this, between that over there and what we've got to do down here, we've got a few acres to plant.
06:12Yeah, we've got some time.
06:13Yeah, and so we've got a lot of work to do. That's what it is.
06:15This was our first build as far as bringing equipment here. We didn't have anything to work with.
06:30This is going to the brush, into the woods, and let's create something.
06:33So we just decided to bring some of our mulching equipment, some of our forestry equipment, the drill.
06:39We needed to spread some lime and some fertilizer.
06:42So we kind of just brought what we needed according to Hal's recommendations.
06:48They have this thing called a brush monster.
06:52And I'm telling you, it lives up to the name.
06:55That thing is wicked.
06:57It cuts down trees that are 10 inches around and takes them right to the ground.
07:02We would not have got it done in a week's time for what we got done in a day's time with that brush monster.
07:08I took down trees that most people wouldn't tackle with any kind of disc mulcher, and it did it with ease.
07:15Seeing an area that is nothing but brush, sticks, leaves turn into a wide-open plot, the aspect of that's really cool.
07:23Hal got sick, and he was delayed, but I thought he wanted to come back to us here on the build.
07:29But there's a big food plot set up, and Kerry from Wildlife Farming are all these cool tools.
07:35But it's a lot of work.
07:37And he had his hands full.
07:39So, hey, buddy, we're going to keep plugging away.
07:42We got this.
07:43In a fun turn of events, I got to leave the job site, and I got to go visit the boys from Stone Coat.
07:56So I went down the road, and Scott and Mitch were pouring some beautiful countertops, and so we worked on it for a little bit.
08:02What are you boys working on?
08:03They've requested a soapstone, but with a twist.
08:06With a twist?
08:07What's our twist?
08:07Our twist is going to be a couple accent colors.
08:10We're going to add a little bit of blue earth to the base.
08:12All right.
08:12And then oftentimes, I am not adding any shine or sparkle to it.
08:17It's just my black dye and white dye, but I'm going to add some black mica to give it a little shine.
08:23I spent a decade in the granite industry, installing granite across southern Oregon,
08:27and Stone Coat Epoxy mimics high-end stone at an affordable price.
08:31What would our cost-saving be if we did a natural stone versus poured?
08:37Oh, easily 10 times your money.
08:39You take an MBF panel, you can pour over existing countertops, and it's just epoxy that goes over top of it,
08:44but it's affordable, so anybody can do it.
08:46It is durable.
08:47You can set heat on it.
08:48You can do all kinds of stuff, and you're not paying thousands of dollars.
08:51So it's a great DIY product.
08:54So on this, we're kind of just going to not overdone, just boom, boom, boom.
09:00So these are some pretty fast builds.
09:03We're doing a complete home renovation in seven days.
09:06Go talk to a granite shop, and they're going to say, see me in seven weeks.
09:10So we're able to come on site.
09:12We port our countertops in the Airbnb garage, and then three days later,
09:16we're installing those countertops in the customer's home.
09:19We're going to stick around and get rid of all the air, make sure this is finishing up good.
09:22We've got one more to make, but then we'll be up north in a couple days to wrap this whole project up.
09:27Perfect. It's looking good.
09:28I'm going to love it.
09:29Soapstone with a twist.
09:31Back with you.
09:33So Graybar Electric has come on as a partner this year for renovation hunters.
09:37You know, they brought so many new products to this build that's going to be just terrific.
09:43We have an electrical panel being replaced in there.
09:46They also have cell phone boosters, which is something that is necessitated here on this property.
09:51You guys from Graybar, this is absolutely amazing.
09:54For when you're out in remote locations, I hunt all over the world, right?
09:58And to be able to go and take this instrument and tell people before they buy a piece of property or lease a piece of land,
10:06this is the communication brand you need to have with you, that is crazy.
10:10How does it work?
10:11So what this does is we're actually looking for the strongest signal in the best direction that we can pull it from.
10:17We can't magnify it, boost it, or manufacture it.
10:20We've got to take what's outside to get it inside.
10:23So we're trying to figure out directionally which signal is the strongest.
10:27By which brand?
10:28Well, by all brands.
10:29By all carriers.
10:30This is all carriers.
10:31They're going to put this up on top of the flagpole, or we are, at the exact degree they gave us.
10:37And then it's going to feed down into the house.
10:39And once it gets in the house, it's going to magnify their cell phone service to where they don't have the problems that they have here now.
10:47Can't get a text, can't make a phone call, can't send a picture to the wives showing, hey, I killed a great big deer, or the boy's got a turkey.
10:55Where have y'all been the last 25 years of my life?
10:58Perfectly.
10:59Hey, well, there you go.
11:00Well, we appreciate the opportunity to come out here and be a part of this.
11:03Two in one.
11:05Cell service flagpole.
11:07Keep that pole close enough to the house.
11:08We've got about 70 feet of cable to work with to get from that top of that pole, down the pole, and into the house.
11:13And you'll be good to go.
11:15Now, communication will be at its best thanks to the technology of Graybar.
11:19So the biggest thing that we have this week is making sure that we get the deck set up perfectly ready, built to code,
11:42because we cannot afford to have the inspector come out here and have to come back.
11:48So we have taken the time to make sure that all of our strong-tie products are on the rafters.
11:55They're underneath, so when the inspector comes, we are all set.
11:58We can get the stone coat floor in, and we can move on to just finishing out the inside and finishing out the siding on the back.
12:05We are finally on to the addition portion of our build.
12:11So it's been a long time coming.
12:14We had to get footing inspections.
12:16And, of course, that happens late, but we got the footings in.
12:20We went ahead and pre-built the deck.
12:22That was easy to do with all of our Simpson straps.
12:25Now we just have to wait until this footing sets up, put our anchors in, band all this together.
12:33Here's the bad news.
12:34We got framing inspection tomorrow on this, so we got some work to do tonight.
12:40Don't bring a trim hammer on framing day because everyone is going to laugh at you.
12:46But, you know, I got to help put some walls up, and that was awesome.
12:50So I guess I've got that tucked in my tool belt for the next build.
12:54Hopefully I'll get to do it again.
12:58For this build, one of the things that we needed to do was fix the roof.
13:02So I have a partner that I work with, John Truitt from Grove Park Fine Homes.
13:06Our roofing company, DLV Roofing, contacted me and said,
13:10Hey, we would love to come do a roof for one of your shows.
13:15He came out here, I think, with 10 guys.
13:18Now they came by to take a look at the place.
13:20Tuesday night, I think at 7 o'clock, they started ripping the roof off.
13:25And everybody's just watching him like, wow, these guys are just tearing into it.
13:32The roofing crew came in.
13:34They were like ants on an ant mound.
13:36People everywhere, metal flying.
13:38Of course, we're on the back end, so there's wood flying, sawdust in the air.
13:42Guys here, guys there, guys everywhere.
13:45It was amazing.
13:45These are the moments that are the most fun on a job site like this.
13:49We've made amazing progress on this rear porch, but unfortunately, we're not quite there.
13:56We're staying late.
13:57We're going to be burning the midnight oil.
14:00Luckily, we've got Streamlight as a sponsor because otherwise, we would be in the dark.
14:04I'm an outdoorsman myself, and anytime you can give back to the community, I think you should.
14:22Back home, we try to do one or two roofs a year, donate roofs for people who are needing.
14:27So we just enjoy getting out and helping the community.
14:31Have them show up at 7 a.m. and start running metal pans for the standing seam roof.
14:36And in the time they did, you know how they say that you run your race according to your competition?
14:42We're already beat.
14:43We're already tired.
14:45But they come in like they just hit the star in Mario, and they're flying.
14:50It's like a circus up there.
14:51They're tossing things up.
14:52They're tossing things down.
14:54We're below.
14:55They never hit us, which was pretty impressive.
14:57When those guys took off and started putting that roof on, the rest of our renovation hunters were like, all right.
15:05How are we not to be pumped up and motivated to see these guys?
15:09But we have to get this roof on the addition because they are coming up to finish in the old roof.
15:17And if we don't finish the new roof, then they're just going to be standing there looking at us.
15:22And despite being here until quarter of 10 and up early the next morning, they kicked it into high gear.
15:30And the amount of work that got done was just incredible.
15:33We figured we would bring a different profile to it.
15:37So the standing seam roof is the absolute best metal roof that you can put on a house.
15:43It's what I would consider a forever roof.
15:47Mr. Ball, we've enjoyed it.
15:51Looks like there's a new roof on the old cabin.
15:53There is.
15:53It looks good.
15:54Yeah, that looks fantastic.
15:55I think it looks great.
15:56You guys did an awesome job.
15:58Can't believe how quick it went.
15:59We appreciate you inviting us down, having us.
16:01We enjoyed it.
16:03This means a lot to all of us.
16:05We appreciate it.
16:05Safe travels back to the mountains.
16:07Take care.
16:13Man.
16:14Boy, you're going to be proud.
16:17You ought to see that place over there.
16:19It is going to be a wildlife Mecca.
16:22We have changed it.
16:23I am so excited about that.
16:26Man, that roof looks good.
16:27I wonder what happened to you.
16:30Oh, it was 8,000 pounds of lime and fertilizer unloading, loading, and pouring in an opera.
16:34But other than that, it really looks good.
16:37How about you?
16:37How's it been going?
16:39What's wrong?
16:40The inspection that we needed first thing this morning, why we stayed until 10 o'clock last night.
16:45Right.
16:45Never happened.
16:46Didn't happen this morning.
16:47Didn't happen today.
16:48It's not like they're busy.
16:49It missed the system.
16:50Hopefully tomorrow morning, I can convince them to come out.
16:54What can we not?
16:55We can finish the siding, right?
16:56He doesn't want the siding done because he wants to verify the nailing patterns.
16:59The what?
17:00The nailing patterns of our siding.
17:03I'm glad your food plots worked out for you.
17:04I'm sorry, but this really sucks.
17:06I'm going to tell you this.
17:07Next build, I'm doing food plots.
17:09You're staying here.
17:10So finally, after days of hard work on the reno, Mike and I got to do what we love to do the most.
17:32We got to set up the on-the-spot and blind.
17:35We got the solar panels on there.
17:37We got all the electrical hooked up.
17:39We put a little bit of touch-up paint on there now.
17:43Make it look all pretty light.
17:44All the wall control's in.
17:45Everything's hung.
17:46We have fridges in there.
17:47We have fans.
17:49Heaters if they want them in the winter.
17:51Everything's ready to go on there.
17:52Totally soundproof again.
17:54Shingled roof.
17:55It helps when you number things so you know where it goes.
17:58It's made to tuck in the corner.
18:01So we did a five-by-five.
18:02And it sits perfect right where they wanted it.
18:05And it's literally just tucked in the tree line, overlooking a huge food plot and a feeder and everything else.
18:11These guys are going to love this blind.
18:13One of the great things about the cabin is that it is very close by to a hunting property that we have just down the road.
18:23And that has taken up all of my free time in trying to figure it out, trying to figure out how to improve it.
18:31So today we planted the food plots with the PH Outdoors G5.
18:37We chose that because the sandy conditions.
18:40We didn't want to disc.
18:41We didn't want to till these plots at all.
18:43They're already so dry that if we were to work the plots up, we were going to lose that much moisture.
18:48So we calibrated the drill today for 85 pounds per acre and calibrated for the green cover seed.
18:54And the food plots are done.
18:56They planted themselves basically with this drill.
18:58We have truly changed the whole look of this property.
19:01It is going to hunt better.
19:03And the food that we're going to have there will be year-round food.
19:06So the neighbor's deer are going to now become his deer.
19:09Hopefully they can take this template that we've given them and expand over their whole property to do exactly the same thing.
19:15So this is my second trip out with the Renovation Hunters crew.
19:25Did Hawassie, Virginia last year.
19:28And then Hal and Kev let me know.
19:29They're going to be down a couple guys on the crew.
19:31And with my background in construction and plumbing, electrical, and heating and air, I figured I'd be a good fit for the crew.
19:37All right.
19:38Well, now that's done.
19:40We're going to get started running some water and power out here to these shipping containers.
19:43This is a new and upgraded skinning shack is what we're going with.
19:50We're going to put in some new lights outside, some new lights inside, a new place to hang your deer up.
19:55It's going to be first class when we get it done.
19:59Got our inspection today.
20:01The inspection department realized that they made a mistake and did not schedule for yesterday morning.
20:06He did come out this morning.
20:07He passed everything.
20:08We had to make a few minor adjustments.
20:12Not a big deal.
20:13Thought we can go ahead and get started on this siding.
20:16Here we go.
20:2041 and 3-4.
20:22Richard, 41 and 3-4.
20:24All right.
20:25So what we've got here is this forever barn wood in this room.
20:27Got Mike and got Richard.
20:29They're cutting for us, keeping us flowing.
20:31It's getting late in the evening, but this stuff is going up quick now.
20:35We're in a rhythm.
20:36And we're going to try to get the ceiling done tonight.
20:37Kevin, I don't think, will let us go until that's done.
20:40I think we're going to get this stuff wrapped up.
20:44This is the last of the siding.
20:46We've got to bang out the paint.
20:47Kevin's going to get in here, start rolling on that.
20:50It's got to be finished up because Stone Coat's going to come finish up the inside.
20:54And the family's coming in a day and a half.
20:56We'll be right for this.
