00:01Nice day for a golf cart, right?
00:03What is going on?
00:05Today we are at my kid's high school,
00:07and we figured we'd help them
00:10with an expansion on their ski tuning hut.
00:14Three, two, one!
00:17Yeah!
00:19We want the stairs, the platform, all that stuff, too.
00:21We didn't agree to that.
00:23Well, we tricked you.
00:24That's cool. I like the M.
00:26I know. It's so stressful making an M out of skis.
00:28Hey, zip it. It's got to be perfect, man.
00:31Oh, here we are.
00:32Wow.
00:34This is fantastic.
00:49Guys, bend your knees.
00:52What am I doing?
00:54It's a nice day for a golf cart, right?
00:56What are we doing here?
00:57I don't know. I'm just at a school bag.
00:58He's home from college.
01:00Stay out of our way.
01:01Yeah.
01:02Chase said meet us here
01:05and take a golf cart.
01:06I don't know why he wanted us to take a golf cart,
01:09but I don't know why we're here.
01:11Wait a minute. Look.
01:12What are they doing?
01:14Hey!
01:16Chase!
01:17All right, don't run them over.
01:19Does this thing have a horn?
01:20Where's the horn?
01:21There's no horn.
01:22Beep, beep.
01:23Honk, honk.
01:24Beep, beep.
01:25What is going on?
01:27Today we're in Reed Field at my kid's high school.
01:30Go Bears.
01:30Go Bears.
01:31Go Bears.
01:32Go Bears.
01:32And we are being joined by a future class of 2029 Alpine Ski Team member.
01:38I can see that.
01:39Yeah.
01:39And a past Alpine Ski Team member.
01:42Yeah, so we have a ski hut that's pretty tiny.
01:46What do you guys do in the ski hut?
01:46Well, that's where you tune your skis.
01:48They store a lot of gear up there.
01:52And of course, Dad, you have to wait till I graduated.
01:56I feel like I was complaining about it for years,
01:58but now that I can no longer use it, we got to do the work.
02:01It's for the favorite child when he goes up to high school.
02:04Yeah, right, right, right.
02:05Well, I just got big shoes to fill, but I think he can do it.
02:08Yeah.
02:08So you can't work on it in the wintertime.
02:11Yeah.
02:11Because they're using it.
02:12Because they're using it.
02:13And it's cold.
02:13Kids are in school.
02:14So we figured we'd help them with expansion on their ski tuning hut
02:20that the Alpine and Nordic team share.
02:22Wait, wait, wait.
02:23I'm so confused.
02:24Alpine's downhill.
02:24Nordic is cross country.
02:26So we're going to go meet the Alpine ski coach, Ron.
02:28Are these two helping them build it?
02:30Yeah, of course.
02:30Sweet.
02:31All right, who's leading the charge?
02:32Plusha, you lead the way.
02:33Are you holding on to it?
02:35I'm going to try.
02:35This is called dry land training.
02:37Hold on, kids.
02:38Go.
02:39This is revenge of the nerds.
02:41Don't go so fast.
02:44What did you say, Chase?
02:46Did you have us come to the golf cart
02:48because you didn't trust us to try the hoverboard?
02:50You guys need to keep training
02:52if I have to give you both rides.
02:541,000%.
02:56Might have tried it when no one was looking.
03:00Hey!
03:01Oh, we made it.
03:03Slingshot.
03:04There's goes Chase.
03:06Oh, I'm surprised we all lived.
03:08That's pretty good on those things.
03:10Nice job.
03:11I'm Ron Gifford.
03:12How's it going?
03:13Good.
03:13I am the head alpine ski coach.
03:15Ashley, I'm Ron.
03:16Nice to meet you.
03:17Nice to meet you.
03:18The school has supported
03:20both Nordic and alpine ski programs
03:22now since 1976.
03:23How's it going?
03:24Not bad.
03:25It's been a very successful program.
03:27Hi, Mags.
03:28Won numerous conference
03:29and state championships
03:30and continues to be very strong today.
03:33So this is the ski hut.
03:35This is the famous ski hut.
03:36It doesn't look that small to me, guys.
03:38That's not a hut.
03:38How many students share this space?
03:41Well, in total,
03:43you've got the bottom floor
03:44is the high school Nordic team,
03:46which averages 35 to 45 kids.
03:50Okay.
03:51And the second floor
03:52is shared by the middle school Nordic team,
03:55which is 20 to 30 kids,
03:57and the high school alpine,
03:59which can be 30 to 40 kids as well.
04:01It's 100 kids.
04:0290 to 100 kids.
04:03Right.
04:03So we're looking to do a audition
04:05on the front side of this building,
04:07which will be alpine high school at the bottom,
04:10and then middle school alpine on the second floor,
04:12which right now they have no space.
04:14And then, so alpine and Nordic...
04:15You're going to keep them separated.
04:17Right.
04:18Ashley.
04:18What?
04:19We're doing this with Chase's offspring.
04:20We've got to keep them separated.
04:24When we were growing up,
04:25that was, like, one of the best tunes ever.
04:27Was it a song?
04:28Yeah, I didn't...
04:29I don't know.
04:30I didn't get it either.
04:32Oh, gosh.
04:33Anyways, now I'm feeling old.
04:34Four teams,
04:35four parts of the building.
04:37Okay.
04:38Obviously, there's a theme
04:39with all these buildings.
04:40Gray, board and batten.
04:41Yep.
04:42Like the same with the theme.
04:43But only on the new edition.
04:44We aren't siding
04:45or painting the existing building.
04:47Yep.
04:47And we would love
04:48a couple of heat pumps.
04:49Yeah, right.
04:50This is used in the wintertime,
04:51so it needs to be insulated, heated.
04:53Correct.
04:53So the kids aren't freezing.
04:55Nobody wants to tune their skis anyway,
04:57so might as well make you pleasant.
04:59Just kidding.
05:00Just kidding.
05:00We're going to take a look
05:01at what we've got in place now.
05:03I guess we're going on a tour.
05:08Looks like a tuning room.
05:10So, as I mentioned,
05:11this is middle school Nordic
05:13on this end of the building.
05:15And then high school Alpine
05:17gets to use the back three benches
05:18and a little bit of storage area.
05:20Oh, it is tight.
05:22Yeah.
05:22And so when we have, you know,
05:2530 kids up here
05:26trying to get their skis waxed
05:27and practice,
05:29it is very crazy.
05:30So the game plan
05:31is to take that door
05:33and put it here,
05:34and this would be now
05:36all middle school Nordic.
05:38Bottom floor is
05:39the high school Nordic team,
05:40and then that would just
05:41get walled off.
05:42Yep.
05:42And the new structure
05:43would house high school Alpine
05:45in the bottom,
05:46middle school Alpine at top,
05:48and similar setup.
05:49I'm just looking for some benches
05:51and some storage space
05:52and places where we can
05:54not have 70 people
05:55in a small little space.
05:56Keep it separated.
05:57Right.
05:59Good stuff.
06:00Is that another song?
06:03They keep saying it.
06:06And we aren't doing anything
06:08to this side of the building,
06:09the Nordic side,
06:10except moving
06:11the Alpine equipment
06:12out of here.
06:12So what is the time frame
06:14for getting this project
06:15finished for you?
06:16Ideally, I think we'd like
06:17to get it done
06:18before the school year starts,
06:20which is Labor Day-ish.
06:21Yeah, so Labor Day
06:23is probably, what,
06:2410 weeks away?
06:26What do you have
06:27for a budget
06:27for the new edition?
06:29Essentially, we've got
06:30$25,000 set aside
06:32at the moment.
06:33Okay.
06:34And you have somebody
06:35lined up to do
06:36the foundation work?
06:37Yes, we do.
06:38Okay.
06:38Correct.
06:38Yeah, and you have
06:39a few windows
06:41and stuff that can
06:43be used in here.
06:43You know, we have
06:44some roofing in stock
06:45that we can donate
06:46to the project.
06:47We'll definitely donate
06:47some time and labor
06:49to this project.
06:49It's for a good cause.
06:51Awesome.
06:51Sorry, Maggie.
06:52Better late than never,
06:53right, Maggie?
06:53Right, you know.
06:54Yeah, we just need
06:55a set of keys
06:56and we're ready
06:57to get going.
06:58There you go.
06:59All right.
07:00Thank you very much.
07:01We'll get you tuned up
07:03for ski season.
07:04The Miranda Cook
07:05ski team needs more space,
07:07so the plan is to add
07:08a 16 by 20 edition
07:09with a dormer
07:10that will be dedicated
07:11to the Alpine ski teams.
07:12The first floor will be
07:13for the high school students.
07:15We'll insulate and pine,
07:16add a heating and cooling system
07:17and brand new ski tuning
07:19benches and racks.
07:20And we'll do the same
07:21on the second floor
07:21for the middle school students.
07:23On the exterior,
07:24we'll match the original building
07:25by using board and bat
07:26and siding, stained gray.
07:27Once the addition is finished,
07:28we'll build out
07:29four different entrances
07:30for each of the teams
07:31and we'll add a new set of stairs
07:32on either side of the building
07:34for the middle school
07:34Nordic and Alpine students.
07:37All right.
07:37So what Ron didn't tell you
07:40is he's got the excavation
07:42lined up starting tomorrow,
07:45so we need to get
07:46that staircase off that side
07:47so that it's out of the way
07:48before they get going.
07:50Okay, so I guess
07:51I don't need to call
07:52the guys this time.
07:53Quick, Fletcher,
07:54let's go get on
07:55those hoverboards.
07:56You can ride that.
07:57Normally I call the guys,
07:58but Fletcher and Maggie
07:59are here.
08:00I just yelled at them,
08:01hey guys,
08:01and we got to work.
08:08So much or nothing new
08:09after two guys, huh?
08:11Wait, what?
08:13Huh?
08:21There we go.
08:22Careful, those should now drop.
08:24Oh, oh, oh.
08:26Timber.
08:27Pow, pow, pow.
08:31Grab the ladder.
08:3220 bucks.
08:33He just teached you a lesson.
08:39These are well-built stairs,
08:40I guess, huh?
08:41It's just, I think I can reach it.
08:45Oh, yeah.
08:45You want to push it over?
08:46Push it that way.
08:48Yeah.
08:52Marvelous.
08:52Nice.
08:54Want to pull this
08:55with a strap?
08:56Do we have a strap long enough?
08:57I got one, yeah.
08:59Yeah.
09:00We're going trucking?
09:01I'm trucking.
09:02That last section,
09:03ripping that off
09:04really wouldn't have
09:04done much damage.
09:05You know what?
09:06Maggie has her license.
09:06This should be her first post.
09:08Yes!
09:09No, I'm not.
09:10Come on, get it.
09:11I'll talk it through.
09:12You'll be fine.
09:13You'll be fine.
09:13I don't want to work
09:14for you people.
09:15You graduated high school,
09:17now you got to...
09:18Yeah, you're a college kid now.
09:19I better be getting paid for this.
09:21You know what I liked
09:23is that I was able
09:24to pass the torch to Maggie.
09:26Wait, hold on.
09:27Smile.
09:27The new boss.
09:29All right.
09:30All right, so go that way.
09:32A little bit more.
09:34This thing is so big.
09:35Straight back, straight back.
09:36Straight back, straight back.
09:37Straight back.
09:37She is now the new destroyer
09:40of the structures with the truck.
09:42Is it a four-wheel drive?
09:44Yeah.
09:45Could you guys
09:46just shed a tear right now?
09:48Maggie, how are you feeling?
09:49You nervous?
09:50You know.
09:51No hesitation
09:52when it's time.
09:53Wait, what?
09:54Yeah, put her in drive.
09:55It's your time to shine.
09:57Ready for the countdown?
09:59I guess so.
10:00Race are ready.
10:01Five, four, three, two, one.
10:05Go.
10:11No hesitation
10:12when it's time.
10:13Wait, what?
10:14Five, four, three, two, one.
10:19Go.
10:21Yeah!
10:23We brought you up, right.
10:26Number one!
10:27Nicely done.
10:28If we keep doing this,
10:29we just keep passing the torch,
10:30and we'll drive around golf carts
10:31and watch them work.
10:32This sounds great to me.
10:33Nice work.
10:45Is that a 16 or stud?
10:51Yeah, so things are moving quickly
10:53at the ski hat expansion.
10:57The slab was poured.
10:59Materials have arrived.
11:07And they're going to start framing up walls.
11:28Yep.
11:28He's coming.
11:29Just let it slide right up.
11:30Yep, slide it.
11:33Yeah.
11:42Perfect.
11:43Roof got framed in.
11:46Sheathed over.
11:48Gorgeous.
11:54That right there puts me flush, so.
11:57Right there?
11:58Yep.
12:02Roofing's going on.
12:03Trim's going on.
12:04Oh, it's beautiful, Steve.
12:06Oh, I'll take some nails, please.
12:09So, Sam, we need that trailer empty
12:11to start loading up all the trash.
12:14Sam is working with us today.
12:16He goes to school here.
12:17He's not a skier, but he's a hockey player.
12:20Pace yourself.
12:21Pace yourself.
12:21Pace yourself.
12:22And it's a lot of work.
12:24Woo!
12:24So we wanted to try and get it done quickly.
12:27What do you think about that, Colby?
12:30It looks absolutely beautiful from here.
12:33In here, we've got nice big space
12:36for the high school.
12:38Upstairs from middle school.
12:40Good, solid carrying beam.
12:42And we're ready for signing.
12:46It's not going to be the last guy
12:48at a job on your roof,
12:49and I'm going to get the worst project there is.
12:51I hate it when he says things like that.
12:53Morning!
12:54What's going on?
12:55Hi!
12:56We were a little late to the job site today
12:58because we stayed out on the island last night.
13:03And when you stay out on the island,
13:05there's a whole lot of more logistics.
13:07What do you want me?
13:08Ground guy.
13:09We only got sand for me and Jedi right now.
13:11I need to bring somebody to work.
13:12I need to come back,
13:13take his boat out to get me.
13:15Let's get this scrap wood in the trailer.
13:17What she's trying to say is I'm a sweetheart.
13:19I got up at six, left the island,
13:20worked for three hours, came back in there.
13:21No, he took the wrong boat.
13:25Caught that.
13:25Wow!
13:26Yeah, half bundles if we can.
13:28Here, I'll come.
13:32Sweet.
13:35One Sam up for that Sam that way.
13:36We're cranking, baby.
13:38Yeah, buddy.
13:41Little Sam is where last summer.
13:43He is a hard worker.
13:45He's a hard worker.
13:45I was very impressed.
13:49Team Sam's today, baby.
13:51We just picked up all the wood piles
13:52all over the job site.
13:57How many wood piles do you want to know?
13:59A million.
14:01I only saw one little wood pile at first
14:04and then out of the corner of my eye
14:05I saw a second wood pile.
14:11You're only as good as your ground, guy.
14:12Sam, Ash, and I are killing it!
14:15You're gonna be dizzy.
14:17You all right?
14:18Yeah, I'm just dizzy.
14:19But Sam and I are working hard.
14:21So he wants the stairs, the platform,
14:23all that stuff too.
14:24Who does?
14:24Chase.
14:25No, no, no.
14:26We didn't agree to that.
14:28It's all going.
14:28I only agreed to these two piles.
14:30Well, we tricked you.
14:33Did you just hear that?
14:36This job is for the birds.
14:46And then all those staircases and doors
14:48and everything to your right are going too.
14:49No, no, no.
14:50We didn't agree to that.
14:52It's all going.
14:53Today, we just picked up all the wood piles
14:55all over the job site.
14:57I'll leave that for trim.
14:59Okay.
14:59Please.
15:00And then Brad said,
15:02oh, you got to put it on the stairs
15:04and all this other stuff too.
15:09Brad, I'm gonna use your truck
15:10to move the dump trail.
15:11Is that okay?
15:12Yeah.
15:16Yeah, so I get in Brad's truck
15:18just to move a trailer.
15:20Autopark.
15:20What is it?
15:20I don't know what that is.
15:22Fancy.
15:24And it was a struggle.
15:26Let's try this again.
15:28He doesn't have a shifter.
15:29He has a knob.
15:31There we go.
15:32There we go.
15:34A little weight on that.
15:47Oh, my.
15:50Did you try driving with the door open?
15:52Yes.
15:52Then your e-brake turned on.
15:53And then you can't have one door open
15:55and I like to hop in another truck
15:57and I'm backing up.
15:58My truck's in the shop
15:59but that just cost me 10 minutes of my life.
16:01It's gonna be one of those days
16:03they've been bragging about how fast they're going
16:05but you don't leave a job something like this.
16:13There it is.
16:14Will you break up those stairs for us?
16:17Yeah.
16:17Their piles were nicely put.
16:23I don't think the job's like...
16:25We do not see it like that.
16:25The job wasn't a mess at all.
16:26Good thing opposites attract.
16:29Dixie, Dixie, Dixie.
16:30What are you doing?
16:31Just got it done with that big, huge pile.
16:33Just got done melting.
16:34Of wood all over this whole building.
16:37Wow, how is it hot?
16:38So you obviously know
16:39that this is gonna be Nordic, Alpine, Nordic, Alpine.
16:43Yeah.
16:44For the junior high and then high school.
16:46Nice.
16:47Yeah.
16:47And got any ideas
16:48of what I can do for special projects?
16:49Well, it just so happens
16:50that I have a little business in ski tuning.
16:53I know this.
16:54Over the years,
16:54I've picked up some various types of equipment
16:57and I have an edger with a bunch of belts.
16:59If they want that,
17:01I'd be happy to donate it to them.
17:02It's an edger.
17:03So on your Alpine skis,
17:05you have a base edge and a side edge.
17:07Yeah.
17:08And the edger is what sharpens your side edge.
17:10Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:12So when you turn.
17:13So when you turn,
17:14you have a smooth, buttery edge.
17:15So this is what the edger gives us?
17:16This is what the edger gives us.
17:17I'd be happy to donate it to them.
17:19Sweet.
17:20Okay, lift it up as high as you can.
17:24So decororize.
17:26I decorated the ski shop
17:28with a lot of vintage snowboards,
17:30vintage skis.
17:31Oh, maybe we can make up a sign
17:33for the new building out of old skis.
17:35I can see what I have for stuff at the ski shop.
17:37Yeah, good idea.
17:39And signs for the entrances
17:40so they know exactly where to go.
17:42Well, this is a good chat.
17:43Thank you very much.
17:43You're very welcome.
17:44Ski on out of here.
17:45Yeah, skate on out of here.
17:48Chase, we're done.
17:50Great.
18:00Chase, good morning.
18:02Hi.
18:02What you doing?
18:03Cleaning up.
18:04I collected a lot of skis.
18:05So you did.
18:07Today we are at the back 40.
18:08I gathered a bunch of alpine
18:10and cross-country skis.
18:11Which ones do you like?
18:12Because I like these wooden ones.
18:17You like those kids' ones?
18:19And we are going to make some art piece
18:22to put his decoration on the side of the new ski building.
18:25So I want to do the school's acronym, M-C-S.
18:29Okay.
18:30What else do you like?
18:31These nice yellow ones.
18:33Well, what about that green and black one?
18:36It's not their color.
18:38Their color?
18:39They have black in their color.
18:41Yellow and black.
18:42They have black, right?
18:47There's your M.
18:49Give me an M.
18:50M.
18:52And then what?
18:56There's your S.
19:00That's a stretch.
19:01Where's your C?
19:03You were doing the C.
19:04I'm not doing all your lettuce.
19:05Where's the C go?
19:07In the middle.
19:09These little guys.
19:10How about...
19:11What color are you?
19:13Oh, you're nice and blue.
19:14I like the wooden.
19:17You can use the wooden one.
19:19Is this my C?
19:22I don't know about this C.
19:25Do we have enough space?
19:27That's why we're laying it out.
19:30Here, move the S down there.
19:33So, originally, we placed the M and the C and the S.
19:37It seems...
19:39Big.
19:40Let's chop it.
19:43I just think if you start cutting them up,
19:45you're going to lose the look of it.
19:48I like the M.
19:49The C, maybe I don't like the C because I can't see it,
19:51but the M is a nice school of colors.
19:54Maybe we just make an M.
19:56Yeah, I want to just do that.
19:57One big M.
19:58I mean, you can add...
19:59Yeah, maybe that...
20:01More skis to it.
20:02Yeah, that would be cool.
20:04Yeah, I like this.
20:07Do you have another wooden one?
20:08Yeah.
20:10That's cool.
20:11I like the M.
20:12And then that's when we came up with the idea
20:13of just making a chunkier M for the space.
20:17Are we going to attach them right now,
20:20or do we wait until we get there
20:23and attach them to the building?
20:24I think we'd have to attach them to the building
20:26because it's Borden-Batton.
20:28Okay.
20:28So we don't really know where the studs are.
20:31Yeah.
20:33Yeah, so a couple of the skis are black,
20:36a couple are yellow,
20:37which are the school's colors.
20:39And then we have a red, white, and blue one for the USA.
20:43America.
20:46I need a stool so I can see what it looks like
20:48from up there.
20:51Oh, yeah, that's cool.
20:52Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like it.
20:54Want to see what it looks like?
20:54Sure.
20:56Help me now.
20:59Get over there.
21:02You like it?
21:03Yeah.
21:04All right.
21:04Cool.
21:05Let's get them out of here.
21:24That piece of metal
21:25is what we're going to be working with.
21:29So we are at Fletcher's High School today.
21:32Matty, Schmini, good morning.
21:33What's happening?
21:34Chase, good morning.
21:35Good morning.
21:37Valley pan?
21:38Yeah.
21:39You need a hand with that at all?
21:41Um, I think I'm okay.
21:43It's kind of a tight fit.
21:45I think we have
21:47the two windows
21:48for here
21:49if we want to get those openings
21:50prepped and ready to go.
21:52Yeah.
21:53Ryan and Ashley aren't here today.
21:54It's mainly
21:55Steve, Wing, Schmini, and Sam.
21:58Jedi, Fletcher, and I
22:00are helping out.
22:01Fletch, what's going on?
22:02Dixie's here for a little while.
22:05Okay, I've got this.
22:07Clim right up.
22:08And we're just going to try
22:09and get as far along as we can.
22:14Jedi right there?
22:15Yep.
22:15Jedi's right here.
22:16Can you, uh,
22:19snip her up a little bit?
22:21Yeah, so we put the dormer
22:23on the addition.
22:25There was a small space
22:26in between the two roofs.
22:27Fletch, I'm going to switch
22:29really good.
22:31Oh, we've got a speed square
22:32in here, Steve.
22:33It was easier
22:34just not to connect them.
22:39It was a little further up.
22:42So instead of shingling it
22:44where snow can build up,
22:45we just bent a metal pan.
22:48Marvelous.
22:49So that any snow or water
22:51that collects in there
22:51just slides right off.
22:55Remo that way.
22:57Get a hold of it.
23:02Yeah, Ashley and Ryan
23:03aren't here today.
23:04Things seem pretty quiet.
23:05We got nobody.
23:09Chase!
23:13Not funny.
23:15Hey.
23:16Chase!
23:21Thought it would be fun
23:22to have a little soundboard
23:23with some voiceovers.
23:26Chase!
23:27Well, since she's not here today,
23:29you know,
23:29I thought I'd give you
23:30a little reminder.
23:32Don't miss that.
23:3353.
23:36Thought you got some Ryan, too.
23:39Ashley's always right.
23:40There you go.
23:41How's that one?
23:43Kind of filled the void.
23:45Nothing new after two.
23:47Nothing new after two.
23:49Nothing new after two.
23:51I get it.
23:51I get it.
23:52I get it.
23:53And the quiet times.
24:01Last board.
24:03Oh, it's beautiful, sweetie.
24:06Another sweaty day.
24:07No, right?
24:08Yeah.
24:09Not a lot of shade here.
24:11I'd hate to be going to school here.
24:12Yeah, I hate it, too.
24:16You know what?
24:16Sighting looks good.
24:18Matches everything nicely.
24:20I'll get materials ordered
24:21for the side entrance,
24:24back entrance,
24:26insulation.
24:27We'll get a count on that,
24:28and then everything on the inside,
24:30I say.
24:31Yeah, baby!
24:35And then we'll figure out shelving,
24:38benches, storage,
24:40and then it's ready for use.
24:42Nice work today.
24:43Perfect.
24:44Let's get out of here.
24:45Schmitty, anything to say?
24:49Go time.
24:50Yeah, it's go time.
25:10You gotta pick this side.
25:12Yeah, it's got, my side's gotta come forward.
25:13It's week seven.
25:16Yep.
25:16Oh, beautiful.
25:18It's been a few weeks since I've been here.
25:23But Steve, Winger, and Sam have been hard at work.
25:26They built two huge staircases.
25:28You know, we're at a school,
25:29it's gonna get a lot of use,
25:30so they built this over-the-top,
25:32well over code, nice and sturdy.
25:33It can take all the abuse from the kids,
25:35and the ski's coming off,
25:36it's knocking off it.
25:37On the upstairs, it's all insulated.
25:42And ready for pine.
25:45It's a community project.
25:48We were lucky enough to get a lot of lumber donated.
25:53You know, these are used windows,
25:54chase heads, store it away.
25:55They look perfect,
25:56so we can help stretch the budget.
25:58This side better.
26:02So, ready to go.
26:04Throw the pine at it.
26:12See, man, I had dancing today.
26:19Sweet.
26:20We gotta get the heat pumps in.
26:32And then we've got some tuning benches.
26:36And some storage that we're putting together for the ski team.
26:43This does look mint, doesn't it?
26:45Pretty cool.
26:52Come on, Trigger.
26:54Oh, right here.
26:55This looks good.
26:56All right.
26:57Here we go.
26:59Yeah, so today,
27:00Brian and I are out at the island.
27:02Oh, I see what's happening.
27:05Okay.
27:06Brian is doing work around the cabin.
27:08Hey, Japan.
27:09Are you going to help me paint?
27:10So, I have some boards and some paint.
27:13Hey, I need that cup.
27:13So, I decided that I would paint up some signs for the ski building.
27:19Trigger, I need that cup.
27:21Oh, boy.
27:22No, no, no.
27:23He already cut but a hole in it.
27:25Yo.
27:26Not cool.
27:27Not cool, man.
27:28Not cool.
27:29I need this.
27:30There's four different entrances for where the Nordic and Alpine are going.
27:38Trigger, what's that?
27:39It's a crow?
27:40You hear the crow?
27:41So, I might as well make four different signs for the kids.
27:44Why don't you lay down?
27:46Go over here.
27:46Go lay down.
27:48And Chase and I will put them up on the day of the reveal so they know exactly where to
27:51go.
27:54Try this one and see what it looks like.
28:01So, the school's colors are yellow and black.
28:07So, I grab my yellow and black paint.
28:14Why is that crow so talky?
28:16Does he have a nest up there or something?
28:18Or babies?
28:18What's going on with him?
28:21Is he mad about something?
28:23And just kind of paint it up some signs.
28:32All right.
28:33We are done.
28:35Gonna let these dry.
28:38And they'll be great.
28:39Now, I just gotta make sure I put them up in the right spots.
28:42Let's go hide from Daddy, okay?
28:43All right.
28:44Come on.
28:45Let's go.
28:46Quick.
28:47Leave your stick behind.
28:48Come on.
28:49I don't want to have to work.
28:55Does Norit take up more room than Alpine?
28:58It's all the same, isn't it, really?
29:00I think maybe it's more popular.
29:04Yeah.
29:04Oh, yeah.
29:05So, there's more kids.
29:06That's what it is, yeah.
29:07All right.
29:08So, this is the rack.
29:10And so, skis kind of slide in.
29:12So, that's a side.
29:15This is a side.
29:16We've got three middle pieces.
29:19Oh, we're building a box right there is what you're saying?
29:21Yeah.
29:21It's like an enclosed.
29:23It's a ski rack.
29:23Is it staying right there?
29:25I believe so.
29:26All right.
29:26So, that goes on that side, Jed.
29:28Just make sure the heights match up.
29:30That'll be here, right?
29:31This one goes on this side.
29:33Yeah.
29:33So, you know, everything's come together nicely.
29:36It'll sit like that.
29:37Yeah.
29:37Nice.
29:38Oh, you got a screw gun?
29:39Yeah.
29:40We got one right behind you.
29:42We've got separate areas for all the high school, middle school, alpine and Nordic teams.
29:50Nice set of stairs on both ends.
29:55I like my side.
29:57Love it.
29:58Yeah.
29:58You know, it's always great to do a community project and my kids are currently in the skiing program.
30:04Nice.
30:06Yep.
30:09Bingo.
30:09So, they'll get use out of it, so that's always nice.
30:12I'm assuming they're all the same, right?
30:14And on.
30:15I would think.
30:15Should be.
30:16That's too easy.
30:18We try to help out where we can.
30:20Oh, she's solid.
30:21Oh, yeah.
30:22And there's not a lot left to do except finishing touches.
30:25Get the football team over here for practice.
30:28Hi.
30:29Hi.
30:30And stuff for Ashley's team.
30:31And they got storage up here.
30:37What you doing?
30:38Getting some equipment out for the kids.
30:41Is this the edger?
30:42That's the edger.
30:43I need some edging on these babies.
30:45These skis have no edge.
30:47Is she going to make it?
30:48That's a good question.
30:50I guess so.
30:50I'm standing up right.
30:51So, the piece of equipment that I dropped off is called a edger.
30:56I like the color.
30:58Green.
30:58Yeah, it's a nice green.
31:00I own and operate a ski tuning business in Rangeley, Maine.
31:03It's like a ski tuning shack.
31:06Yep.
31:06Well, you got the benches.
31:07And when I was buying a lot of my equipment, I had the chance to buy a few extra pieces.
31:15This edger, I just had kicking around the shop.
31:17I haven't used it.
31:19So, I figured it'd be great to give to the high school ski team.
31:22Grab a ski, would you?
31:24Basically, what it does is it sharpens the side edge of an alpine ski or snowboard.
31:29So, you'll get the machine going.
31:30You take your ski, feed your ski through.
31:32It's kind of like sharpening a knife.
31:34Kind of like sharpening a knife.
31:35Can I tune a ski now?
31:36That's why we have Dixie.
31:38Dixie's been tuning my skis probably since I started skiing.
31:46I think I got to go like this.
31:48This way, M.
31:49Yeah, there we go, M.
31:51That's how you make an M.
31:53So, Chase and I had planned out an art piece.
31:57So, I want to do the school's acronym, M-C-S, to put his decoration on the side of the
32:02new ski building.
32:04So, originally, we placed the M and the C in the S.
32:07It seems big.
32:10And then, that's when we came up with the idea of just making a chunky M.
32:14So, instead of putting it together at the back 40 when we were there.
32:18I know.
32:19It's so stressful making an M out of skis.
32:21Hey, zip it.
32:22It's got to be perfect, man.
32:24We decided to bring the skis and assemble the project.
32:27Dixie, you got a drill?
32:28Drill and screws are right over there.
32:31Chetty, where's our first ski going, sir?
32:32Okay, so, this edge right here.
32:34On to the building itself.
32:37All right.
32:38This is my type of job.
32:40So, Jedi went over and measured to make sure that it was centered.
32:43Yeah, lift the brake and push it in tight.
32:45And then, Chase took all the skis and pre-drilled them.
32:49So, then we just kind of handed them to us.
32:52I was going to say I don't have all day, but I do.
32:56We'd put them up, make sure that they were all level, lining up.
33:00Ashley!
33:00Ashley!
33:01Ashley!
33:02And then kind of built it in from there.
33:04That's cool.
33:04I actually like it.
33:05You didn't think you were going to like it?
33:06I didn't, I wasn't sure what you had in mind.
33:08Now I see.
33:09Yeah, good use of old skis.
33:11Don't think it wasn't like a C for Kony or G for Gardner.
33:13That would not have been easy.
33:14No, not at all.
33:15Yeah, I think it looks great.
33:17Awesome.
33:17Great job, guys.
33:18Okay.
33:19Good job.
33:20Wax on, wax off.
33:21Wax on, wax off.
33:29Chase, you in there?
33:31Chase?
33:34Yeah, perfect right there.
33:35Today, we are giving the ski teams back their building.
33:38Chase?
33:39What are you doing?
33:40Waxing up your skis?
33:41Yeah.
33:41Checking out my handiwork.
33:43Both.
33:45My team and I came in and brought down some mats to stand on because you're coming in and
33:50out and it's snowy outside.
33:52Brought some ski tuning equipment.
33:56Aprons, irons, wax, edgers.
34:00All the things that you need to tune skis.
34:03Help me with this one.
34:04This one's a little harder for an angle.
34:05I got the other ones already up earlier.
34:07We had 10 weeks and $25,000 plus donations, including our labor, to build an expansion onto
34:15the ski tuning hut.
34:20Yeah.
34:21For the middle school and high school alpine ski team.
34:25Nice.
34:25Done.
34:26Ready?
34:27Let's go find them.
34:28Show them their new place.
34:29So we are meeting Ron, the ski coach, a few of the alpine ski captains.
34:35So you guys excited for the season?
34:37Yeah.
34:38I can't wait.
34:39And Fletcher will be here with them as well.
34:41Oh, here we are.
34:42Wow.
34:43Oh.
34:44Look at that.
34:46I love the M.
34:47I like the M.
34:48It looks so cool.
34:50Hey, guys.
34:51Hey, hey.
34:52Hi.
34:52Welcome to your new tuning station.
34:55Hey, this is fantastic.
34:56Looks great.
34:57Yeah, that's nice.
34:59It fits really perfectly with the building that's there.
35:05Hi, guys.
35:06This is awesome.
35:07Hi.
35:07The two sets of stairs are going to make access for all the athletes a lot easier and a lot
35:12safer.
35:13Oh, hi, Fletcher.
35:14Nice to meet you.
35:15So it just looks fantastic.
35:16Yeah.
35:17So we ended up adding a 16 by 20 edition off of the side here.
35:22Stuck with the board and batten.
35:24Went with a slightly different shade of gray just so everybody knows that it's new and where
35:29it is.
35:30As you can see, there's four separate areas.
35:33Each one has their own entrance.
35:35We didn't do too much to the Nordic side of the building.
35:37We moved all of the alpine equipment from the top floor to the new edition.
35:42So now that top floor is all middle school Nordic space.
35:46We've got a staircase on the back side for the second floor of the middle school Nordic
35:51team.
35:51And we've got a staircase on this side for the middle school alpine team.
35:57Yeah, you know, just because you're separated now, I did make up signs and we hung them beside
36:00each door so that then there's no mistaking.
36:03Yeah.
36:03And the middle school alpine has never had any space.
36:05So this edition is going to be fantastic for them and they'll have a place to keep their
36:10own gear and do their tuning.
36:12Right, and that's keep those middle schoolers out of your space.
36:14Yeah.
36:15So for us to now be able to be separate, it'll make both programs that much more efficient.
36:20And then Ashley came up with a design of the M with the skis.
36:24If you flip it over, it's a W for win.
36:28You know, to utilize both alpine and Nordic skis is just perfect.
36:37Wow.
36:39Oh, wow.
36:39Holy goodness.
36:41It looks so nice.
36:43Awesome.
36:43Yeah, that is awesome.
36:44This is looking nice.
36:45The biggest thing was just how much space there was in there.
36:48Just like the space between like the tables.
36:51This is going to be so much better.
36:53Like it's so nice and clean and fresh.
36:56We're not going to be bumping elbows with anyone, which is really nice.
36:59Is this what you envision?
37:00This is amazing.
37:01Better, yeah.
37:02Lots of space.
37:03Way better.
37:04So much better.
37:06Way better.
37:07You even got matte.
37:09Yeah, we figured with the concrete and snow and, you know, coming in and out, it might
37:14be nice.
37:15Very nice.
37:16You'll see behind Fletcher, Dixie donated an edger.
37:19That is so cool.
37:20Wow.
37:20That's cool.
37:21And Dixie offered to come down and give a tuning lesson on how to use that machine.
37:26Fantastic.
37:27That's nice.
37:27That's awesome.
37:27Wow, that's amazing.
37:29Cut your tuning time right down.
37:30That's right.
37:33Yeah, four benches, two students per bench.
37:37Closed everything in with pine.
37:39Left the original board and batten wall since it was solid enough.
37:43Got heating and cooling in the space, mostly heating.
37:47And all new electrical.
37:49You've got the outlets dedicated for the irons.
37:51And then we built some ski hanging racks, some standing racks, and a bench to, you know,
37:58sit down and take a load off while you're waiting to tune your skis or to fit your boots,
38:03whatever.
38:04It looks great.
38:05Yeah, it's awesome.
38:06Everybody's always usually had to hold their skis while we're waiting for tuning benches.
38:09And now we'll be able to store them so people can go outside or hang out and not have to
38:14hold their skis.
38:16Oh, wow.
38:18Wow.
38:18Oh, my gosh.
38:19Wow.
38:20That is cool.
38:22Oh, my gosh.
38:23Windows, too.
38:23That's huge.
38:25They are going to be so amazed.
38:27That is awesome.
38:28Yeah, you know, adding the dormer just gave that much more head height up here.
38:32All new electrical with outlets on the benches for the irons.
38:36It's all insulated.
38:37A heat pump head over here as well for heating and cooling.
38:41There was a door there that we closed in, matched up to the existing wall.
38:45Built some tote shelves, ski racks, and a couple of benches.
38:50It's just amazing.
38:51I just thought it's really going to be nice to have our own space, you know, not have to
38:54share with the middle school anymore.
38:55Outlets on the benches.
38:57Yeah.
38:57That's amazing.
38:58And it would also be nice for the middle school Alpine ski team to finally have their
39:02own space to tune their skis instead of having to purchase all the equipment for every family.
39:07Wow.
39:08That is amazing.
39:09Great.
39:10We expect great results out of you all.
39:14That's a goal.
39:15And really fast, sharp skis.
39:17That's right.
39:18Exactly.
39:19It's finished, ready for you guys well before ski season.
39:23So the only thing left to do is hand you the keys back.
39:26Awesome.
39:27Awesome.
39:28Thank you so much.
39:29You're very welcome.
39:30This is fantastic.
39:31Awesome.
39:32Bye, guys.
39:32Have fun.
39:33Bye.
39:34Can't thank the cabin masters enough to step forward and take on the project and make
39:38it all come to fruition.
39:39It's been just fantastic.
39:41Unbelievable, great people to work with, and they just do an outstanding job.
39:48Thank you, cabin masters!
39:50Thank you, cabin masters!
