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.
00:32Oh, this is fantastic.
00:49Guys, bend your knees.
00:52What am I doing?
00:55Nice day for a golf cart, right?
00:56What are we doing here?
00:57I don't know. I thought she was at a school bag.
00:58She'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?
01:26Today we're in Reedfield 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?
01:47Well, that's where you tune your skis.
01:48They store a lot of gear up there.
01:52And of course, Dad, you had to wait till I graduated.
01:55I feel like I was complaining about it for years,
01:58but now that I can no longer use it, we've 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,
02:15so 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.
02:23Alpine's downhill, Nordic is cross country.
02:26So we're going to go meet the Alpine ski coach, Ron.
02:28Are these two helping him build it?
02:30Yeah, of course.
02:30Sweet.
02:31All right, who's leading the charge?
02:32Pasha, you lead the way.
02:33Are you holding on, Dad?
02:34I'm going to try.
02:35This is called dry land training.
02:37Hold on, kids.
02:38Go!
02:39This is revenge of the nerds.
02:42Don't go so fast.
02:43Don't go so fast, Chase.
02:45What 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
02:52and if I have to give you both rods.
02:531,000%.
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.
03:10How's it going?
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.
03:17Ron, I'm Ryan.
03:17Nice to meet you.
03:18The school has supported both 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 and 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.
03:37That's not a hut.
03:38How many students share this space?
03:41Well, in total, you've got the bottom floor
03:44is the high school Nordic team.
03:46Okay.
03:46Which averages 35 to 45 kids.
03:50Okay.
03:51And the second floor is shared by the middle school Nordic team,
03:55which is 20 to 30 kids.
03:57And the high school Alpine, which 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 addition on 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.
04:13And 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, that was like one of the best tunes ever.
04:27Was it a song?
04:28Yeah, I didn't, I don't know.
04:30I didn't get it either.
04:31I thought you were saying that.
04:32Oh, gosh.
04:33Anyways, now I'm feeling old.
04:34Four teams, four parts of the building.
04:37Okay.
04:38Obviously, there's a theme with all these buildings.
04:40Gray, board and batten.
04:41Yep.
04:42Like the same with the theme.
04:43But only on the new addition.
04:44We aren't siding or painting the existing building.
04:47Yep.
04:47And we would love a couple of heat pumps.
04:49Yeah, right.
04:50This is used in the wintertime, so it needs to be insulated, heated.
04:53Correct.
04:53So the kids aren't freezing.
04:55Nobody wants to tune their skis anyway, so might as well.
04:58Make it pleasant.
04:59Just kidding.
05:00Just kidding.
05:00We're going to take a look at what we've got in place now.
05:03Hey, I guess we're going on a tour.
05:08Looks like a tuning room.
05:09So, as I mentioned, this is Middle School Nordic on this end of the building.
05:15And then High School Alpine gets to use the back three benches and a little bit of storage area.
05:20Oh, that is tight.
05:22Yeah.
05:22And so when we have, you know, 30 kids up here trying to get their skis waxed and practice, it
05:29is very crazy.
05:30So the game plan is to take that door and put it here.
05:34And this would be now all Middle School Nordic.
05:38Bottom floor is the High School Nordic team.
05:40And then that would just get walled off.
05:42Yep.
05:42And the new structure would house High School Alpine in the bottom, Middle School Alpine at top, and similar setup.
05:49Just looking for some benches and some storage space and places where we can not have 70 people in a
05:55small little space.
05:56Keep it separated.
05:57Right.
05:59Good stuff.
06:00Was that another song?
06:03I keep saying it.
06:06And we aren't doing anything to this side of the building, the Nordic side, except moving the Alpine equipment out
06:12of here.
06:12So what is the time frame for getting this project finished for you?
06:16Ideally, I think we'd like to get it done before the school year starts, which is Labor Day-ish.
06:21Yeah, so Labor Day is probably, what, 10 weeks away?
06:26What do you have for a budget for the new addition?
06:29Essentially, we've got $25,000 set aside at the moment.
06:33Okay.
06:34And you have somebody lined up to do the foundation work.
06:37Yes, we do.
06:38Okay.
06:38Correct.
06:38Yeah.
06:39And you have a few windows.
06:41Yes.
06:42And stuff that can be used in here.
06:43You know, we have some roofing in stock that we can donate to the project.
06:46We'll definitely donate some time and labor to this project.
06:49It's for a good cause.
06:51Awesome.
06:51Sorry, Maggie.
06:52Better late than never, right, Maggie?
06:53Right, you know.
06:54Yeah, we just need a set of keys, and we're ready to get going.
06:58There you go.
06:59All right.
07:00Thank you very much.
07:01We'll get you tuned up for ski season.
07:04The Miranda Cook ski team needs more space, so the plan is to add a 16 by 20 addition
07:09with a dormer that will be dedicated to the alpine ski teams.
07:12The first floor will be for the high school students.
07:15We'll insulate and pine, add a heating and cooling system, and brand new ski tuning benches
07:19and racks.
07:20And we'll do the same on the second floor for the middle school students.
07:23On the exterior, we'll match the original building by using board and batten siding,
07:26stained gray.
07:27Once the addition is finished, we'll build out four different entrances for each of the teams,
07:31and we'll add a new set of stairs on either side of the building for the middle school
07:34Nordic and alpine students.
07:37All right, so what Ron didn't tell you is he's got the excavation lined up starting tomorrow,
07:45so we need to get that staircase off that side so that it's out of the way before they get
07:49going.
07:50Okay, so I guess I don't need to call the guys this time.
07:53Quick, Fletcher, let's go get on those hoverboards.
07:56You can ride that.
07:57Yeah, normally I call the guys, but Fletcher and Maggie are here.
08:00I just yell to them.
08:01Hey, guys, and we got to work.
08:08So much for nothing new after two guys, huh?
08:11Wait, what?
08:13Huh?
08:21There we go.
08:22Careful, those should now drop.
08:24Oh, oh, oh.
08:25There we go.
08:26Timber.
08:27Pow, pow, pow.
08:31Grab the ladder.
08:3220 bucks.
08:33They just teach you a lesson.
08:35Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
08:39These are well-built stairs, I guess, huh?
08:41It's just, I think I can reach it.
08:45Oh, yeah.
08:45Push it over.
08:46It's just that way.
08:47Hurry.
08:48Yep.
08:52Marvelous.
08:52Nice.
08:54Want to pull this with a strap?
08:56Do we have a strap long enough?
08:57I got one, yeah.
08:59Yeah.
09:00We're going trucking?
09:01We're trucking.
09:02That last section, ripping that off really wouldn't have done much damage.
09:05You know what?
09:06Maggie has a license.
09:06This should be her first post.
09:08Yes.
09:09No, I'm not.
09:10Come on.
09:11Get it.
09:11I'll talk.
09:12You'll be fine.
09:12You'll be fine.
09:13You'll be fine.
09:13I don't want to work for you people.
09:15You graduated high school.
09:17Now you got to.
09:18Yeah, you're a college kid now.
09:20I better be getting paid for this.
09:22You know what I liked is that I was able to 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.
09:33This thing is so big.
09:35Straight back, straight back, straight back.
09:36Straight back, straight back.
09:37She is now the new destroyer of the structures with the truck.
09:42Is it a four-wheel drive?
09:44Yeah.
09:45Could you guys just shed a tear right now?
09:48Maggie, how are you feeling?
09:49You nervous?
09:50You know.
09:51No hesitation when it's time.
09:53Wait, what?
09:54Yeah, put her in drive.
09:56It's your time to shine.
09:57Ready for the countdown?
10:00I guess so.
10:00Race are ready.
10:00Five, four, three, two, one.
10:05Go.
10:11No hesitation when 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, we just keep passing the torch, and we'll drive around golf carts and watch them
10:32work.
10:32This sounds great to me.
10:33Nice work.
10:45Is that a 16 or stud?
10:51Yeah, so things are moving quickly at the ski hat expansion.
10:57The slab was poured.
10:59Materials have arrived.
11:07And they're going to start framing up walls.
11:27Yep.
11:28He's coming.
11:29Just let it slide.
11:30Yep, slide it.
11:33Yeah.
11:41Perfect.
11:43Roof got framed in.
11:46Sheathed over.
11:48Gorgeous.
11:53That right there put me flush, so.
11:57Right there?
11:58Yep.
12:02Roofing's going on.
12:03Trim's going on.
12:04Oh, it's beautiful, Steve.
12:07Oh, I'll take some nails, please.
12:09So, Sam, we need that trailer empty to 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!
12:25So 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 for the high school.
12:38Upstairs for middle school.
12:40Good solid carrying beam.
12:42And we're ready for signing.
12:46It's not going to be the last guy at a job on your roof,
12:49and I'm going to get the worst project there is.
12:51I hate it when it says things like that.
12:53Morning.
12:54What's going on?
12:55Hi.
12:56We're 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 Sam for me and Jedi right now.
13:11I need to bring somebody to work.
13:12I need to come back, take 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, worked for three hours,
13:21came back in there.
13:21He took the wrong boat.
13:25Caught that.
13:25Wow.
13:26Yeah, half guandals if we can.
13:32Sweet.
13:35One Sam up for that Sam that way.
13:37We'll crank him, baby.
13:38Yeah, buddy.
13:41Little Sam is where that's the summer.
13:43He is a hard worker.
13:44He's a hard worker.
13:45I was very impressed.
13:49Team Sam's today, baby.
13:51We just picked up all the wood piles all 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,
14:12and Sam, Ash, and I are killing it.
14:15Don't get me dizzy.
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?
14:24It's Chase.
14:25No, no, no.
14:26We didn't agree to that.
14:28It's all going.
14:29I 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 and 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 all 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 on the stairs and all this other stuff too.
15:08Brad, I'm going to use your truck to move the dump trail.
15:11Is that okay?
15:11Yeah.
15:16Yeah.
15:17So I get in Brad's truck just to move a trailer.
15:19Auto park.
15:20What is that?
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 the e-brake turned on.
15:53And then you can't have one door open.
15:56And I like to hop in another truck and back it up.
15:58My truck's in the shop.
15:59That just cost me 10 minutes of my life.
16:01It's going to be one of those days.
16:03They've been bragging about how fast they're going.
16:06But you don't leave a job set like this.
16:13There it is.
16:14Will you break up those stairs for us?
16:17Yeah.
16:17Their piles were nicely put.
16:24I don't think the job was a mess at all.
16:26Good thing opposites attract.
16:29Dixie, Dixie, Dixie.
16:30What are you doing?
16:31Just got done.
16:32Melting?
16:33That big huge pile.
16:33Just got done melting?
16:34Of wood all over this whole building.
16:37Wow.
16:37Is it hot?
16:38So you obviously know that this is going to be Nordic, Alpine, Nordic, Alpine.
16:43Yep.
16:44For the junior high and then high school.
16:46Nice.
16:47Yeah.
16:47And I got any ideas of what I can do for special.
16:49Well, it just so happens that I have a little business in ski tuning.
16:53I know this.
16:54Over the years, I've picked up some various types of equipment.
16:56And I have an edger with a bunch of belts.
17:00If they want that, I'd be happy to donate it to them.
17:02It's an edger.
17:03So on your Alpine skis, you 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, you 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.
17:19Sweet.
17:19Okay, lift it up as high as you can.
17:23So decorize.
17:26I decorated the ski shop with a lot of vintage snowboards, vintage skis.
17:31Oh, maybe we can make up a sign for 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 sign this for the entrances so 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!
17:49We're done.
17:50Great.
18:00Chase!
18:01Good morning.
18:02Hi.
18:02What you doing?
18:03Cleaning up.
18:04I collected a lot of skis.
18:05So you did.
18:06Today we are at the back 40.
18:08I gathered a bunch of alpine and cross-country skis.
18:11Which ones do you like?
18:13Because I like these wooden ones.
18:17You like those kids' ones?
18:19And we are going to make some art piece to put his decoration on the side of the new ski
18:25building.
18:25So I want to do the school's acronym.
18:27M-C-S.
18:29Okay.
18:30What else do you like?
18:31These nice yellow ones.
18:33What 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.
18:43Right?
18:47Where'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.
19:31Here, 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, you'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, but the M is a nice school
19:53of colors.
19:53So, maybe we just make an M.
19:55Yeah, I want to just do that.
19:57One big M.
19:58I mean, you can add...
19:59Yeah.
20:00Maybe that...
20:01More skis to it.
20:02Yeah, that might be cool.
20:04Yeah, I like this.
20:06Do you have another wooden one?
20:07Yeah.
20:10That's cool.
20:11I like the M.
20:12And then that's when we came up with the idea of 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 and attach them to the building?
20:24I think we'd have to attach them to the building because it's board and batten.
20:28Okay.
20:28So, we don't really know where...
20:30The studs are?
20:31Yeah.
20:33Yeah, so a couple of the skis are black, a couple are yellow, which 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 from up there.
20:50Oh, 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 him out of here.
21:24That piece of metal is 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.
21:36Valley 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 the two windows for here if we want to get those openings prepped and ready
21:51to go.
21:52Yeah.
21:52Ryan and Ashley aren't here today.
21:54It's mainly Steve, Wing, Schmini, and Sam.
21:58Jedi, Fletcher, and I are helping out.
22:01Fletch, what's going on?
22:02Dixie's here for a little while.
22:05Okay, I've got this.
22:07Climb right up.
22:08And we're just going to try and get as far along as we can.
22:14Jedi right there?
22:15Yep.
22:15That's right here.
22:16Can you, uh...
22:18Snip her up a little bit?
22:21Yeah, so we put the dormer on the addition.
22:25There was a small space in between the two roofs.
22:27Fletch, we'll switch over here.
22:30Oh, we've got a speed square in here, Steve.
22:33It was easier just not to connect them.
22:40It's a little further up.
22:42So instead of shingling it where snow can build up, we just bent a metal pan.
22:48Marvelous.
22:50So that any snow or water that collects in there just slides right off.
22:55Remo that way.
22:57Got a hold of it.
23:02Yeah, Ashley and Ryan aren't here today.
23:04Things seem pretty quiet.
23:05We ain't got no bars.
23:09Chase!
23:13Not funny.
23:15Hey.
23:16Chase!
23:21Thought it would be fun to have a little soundboard with some voiceovers.
23:26Chase!
23:27Well, since she's not here today, you know, I thought I'd give you a little reminder.
23:32Don't miss that.
23:3353.
23:36I 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.
23:52I get it.
23:52I get it.
23:53And the quiet times.
24:01Glass 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.
24:16No, that sighting looks good.
24:18Matches everything nicely.
24:19I'll get materials ordered for the side entrance, back entrance.
24:26Insulation.
24:27We'll get a count on that.
24:28And then everything on the inside, I say.
24:31Yeah, baby!
24:35And then we'll figure out shelving, benches, 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.
25:10We're going to pick this side.
25:12Yeah, it's got, my side's got comforts.
25:13It's week seven.
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 that's going to get a lot of use,
25:30so they built this over-the-top, well-over-code, nice and sturdy.
25:33It can take all the abuse from the kids,
25:35and the ski's coming off, 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, chase heads, stored away.
25:55They look perfect, so we can help stretch the budget.
25:58This side better.
26:02So, ready to go.
26:04Throw the pine at it.
26:12Steve and I are dancing today.
26:19Sweet.
26:20We've got to 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, Brian 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, baby.
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.
27:23No, no, no.
27:23He already put 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?
27:42So, 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.
28:00So, 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 painted up some signs.
28:32All right.
28:33We are done.
28:35I'm going to let these dry.
28:38And they'll be great.
28:39Now, I just got to 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 Nordic 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?
29:20Is what you're saying?
29:21Yeah.
29:21It's like an enclosed.
29:22It's a ski rack.
29:23Is it saying right there?
29:24I believe so.
29:26So, that goes on that side.
29:27Just 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.
29:41We've got separate areas for all the high school, middle school,
29:46Alpine, 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.
30:00And my kids are currently in the skiing program.
30:05Nice.
30:06Yep.
30:09Bingo.
30:09So, they'll get use out of it.
30:11So, that's always nice.
30:12I'm assuming they're all the same, right?
30:14And on.
30:14I 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.
30:21And there's not a lot left to do except finishing touches.
30:25Get the football team when we have a practice.
30:28Hi.
30:29Hi.
30:29And 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?
30:48No, that's a good question.
30:50I guess I'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.
31:04Looks like a ski tuning shack.
31:06Yeah.
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 in my skis probably since I started skiing.
31:46I think I got to go like this.
31:48This way.
31:49M. Yeah, there we go.
31:50M.
31:52That'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
32:02ski building.
32:04So, originally, we placed the M and the C in the S.
32:08It seems...
32:09...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...
32:19I 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 just started to bring the skis and assemble the project.
32:27Dixie, you got a drill?
32:28Drill and screws are right over there.
32:31Chetie, where's our first ski going, sir?
32:32All right, so, this edge right here.
32:34Onto 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.
32:59Ashley.
33:00Ashley!
33:01Ashley!
33:02And then kind of belt 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.
33:07I wasn't sure what you had in mind.
33:08Now I see.
33:09Yeah, good use of old skis.
33:11I don'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
34:15onto the 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.
34:39I 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.
35:07The 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, so we ended up adding a 16 by 20 addition off of the side here.
35:23Stuck 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 addition.
35:42So now that top floor is all middle school Nordic space.
35:45We'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.
35:56Yeah, you know, just because you're separated now, I did make up signs and we hung them
36:00beside each door so that then there's no mistaking.
36:03Yeah, and the middle school Alpine has never had any space.
36:06So this addition 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.
36:19And 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.
36:44It's 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 be nice.
37:14Yeah, very 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.
37:26That'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.
37:46Yeah.
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, whatever.
38:04That looks great.
38:05Yeah, it's awesome.
38:05Everybody'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.
38:17Oh, 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,
38:53not have to share 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 own space
39:03to 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.
39:32Bye, guys.
39:32Have fun.
39:33Bye.
39:34Can't thank the cabin masters enough to step forward and take on the project
39:38and make it all come to fruition.
39:39It's been just fantastic.
39:41Unbelievable.
39:42Great people to work with.
