Cabin Fever Episode 4

this is the National Geographic Channel [Music] timeless and connected to the land I'm the time and I build tab and homes here in the Northlands of Minnesota with the finest crew around you betcha using century-old techniques we pour ourselves into each and every cabin [Music] bringing the past into the present we're bringing a Minnesota style log home to Sioux City Iowa can our crew rise to this cabins challenge these gigantic logs stand in our way no matter what happens my crew and I are on a mission to build log cabin homes all across this country [Music] I'm right outside of Sioux City Iowa and I'm about to meet up with Bob for his fiancee Tanya Bob's originally from Minnesota and he started this bakery down here in Sioux City and it flourished it's been a successful business and it pretty much limits him from getting back to Minnesota but what he told me is he wants a piece of Minnesota down here in Sioux City and there's nothing better than a Minnesota built log home it's gonna be fun to meet up with him and see what their ideas are that must be Bob and Tanya right there he kind of looks like a Minnesotan it looks like bob has some nice flat ground that's just what I like to see I just want to bring a little bit of Minnesota down here to Iowa and we both are excited about it we're both looking forward to it and we want the true log home style doing here this is a new relationship for bottom right so the log kind of signifies a new beginning for us as well building a log home and a new fresh start now that's true love I can't wait to see what the you two lovebirds have in mind for a log home what do you guys do here in Sioux City well that's how we kind of met we had a little discrepancy on some the products that I was selling her in so she came down and wanted to discuss it with me and this is how it evolved in the situation we're at now so which is fantastic what kind of home are you thinking about a flower 3/4 you know we want to rustic yeah well I suppose you know being in the food industry you know yeah it looks between 40 and 35 feet by 25 26 feet with what the garage we wanted to stall garage yeah the match yep this is it this is where we're talking about building you got a lot of room to work with yeah well you know bear with me I really started envisioning what you guys are thinking the hole starts right here and it goes 30 feet all the way over here put the kitchen right here right in the center big kitchen with the big sweeping Peninsula so you can see everybody kids kids Dave he has all these very good ideas for us they make a lot of sense yes they fit our lifestyle we're gonna have some trusses we'll put some trusses up there big give me Windows let that natural light in you need to have a big sweeping deck that starts over here at this we have it on paper so we need to go sit down and discuss it let's go we still need to talk out some of the details so I think I know a really good place to go well earlier you said something about a Lofton and I think we okay 3/4 loft and we like the gable type of windows wide open window wraparound porch that sounds really good okay okay let's start there Bob and Tonya's cabin will be a 36 by 28 foot two-level structure with the detached log garage the main level will have a spacious utility room and bedroom an open great room will include a dining area and kitchen for Bob and Tanya to do all their cooking and baking upstairs will be an open loft flanking to pitch dormers that look out each side of the cabin just outside and will be a 700 square foot log garage that will add extra storage and usable space to Bob Tway [Music] alright guys what do you think we got the dormers in there the peninsula the log staircase coming out of the great room the big wraparound deck I think it looks great I think it looks just exactly what we're looking for it oh yeah where's we got a deal we got a deal alright what are there thank you very much I got to get back I gotta let the guys know we got to get rolling on this now good all right now that we got all the details worked out I'm gonna get this to my architect and we're gonna start building this Minnesota style log home so Baker Bob he's originally from Minnesota he lives down in Sioux City Iowa as a successful bakery down there which is gonna keep him there pretty much the rest of his life so he wants to bring a piece of Minnesota the Sioux City Iowa he saved up his money from selling apple fritters all his life to build in a dream house we're really gonna knock the socks off with this little gem here so it's gonna have a covered front entry with the truss over it we got some largest diameter logs that we're gonna be using these are huge logs okay these are bigger than we use the user 24 inch in diameter red pine these logs on Bob's house are gonna be huge I cannot wait to take my shot for these big logs come from about 45 miles east of here that's why I live I know John I'm sorry I don't want to tell you thank you guys they were going down anyway and I figured what's better than having these big gorgeous logs in a log home forever instead of two by fours yeah you'll get some donors on it Baker's does look for every morning paid and doughnuts the guys are set they know what they got to do and now we got to get that temporary foundation in place and get rolling [Music] looking for is make sure our temporary foundation is laid out these are the screw jack system where we can adjust them up and down to make sure everything is the level and if this is off your house is off when you get down to Sioux City Iowa leveling device we have laser light over there on the tripod this sends a laser light around 360 so you can raise and lower this until where the height of our foundation blocks are there it is we've been around all area jacks and everything's checks out let's fly through let's get it rolling we got a host of it we got to get down to Sioux City Iowa to get those upland fritters right the logs we use our cut from red pine right here in Minnesota and these are huge over to Cory who uses a pressure washer to peel the bark off Cory's got garage filled the temporary phonation is nice and level it's set in it's ready for chainsaws and start screaming we call that the cabin shell once the shell is done we'll each construct it send it to Sioux City Iowa where will restock it and the entire cabin will be finished come down Cory get on the other side I'm a little worried about Cory because you know being new into this there's things that can happen that you don't know what to expect the log can turn on you and at any second and if you're not ready for it it can get a little mark and sometimes I'm worried about Cory not foreseeing that happening we don't want the learn the hard way accidents are big deals here because with these logs weighing many tons there it's not very forgiving that was good [Music] we're gonna be able to scribe the laterals and the notches you have to knock all the ice off you kind of get a dryer cuz otherwise if I'm sitting right on the wood so see how I go through it all this we use a tool called a scribe just draw the contour the log on to the next then we take the log down cut along the scribe lines and stack it back on top of the house these logs fit so tightly you can even slip a dollar bill between you see now that we're done with the body of Baker Bob shell is time to load the trusses let's get that truss out it's all ready to go to trust the support the roof load so when you have this load coming down directly out of roof they transfer the load down to the walls okay when we set that first trust we always take a moment step back and they're like that's awesome we're on the home stretch get this single on-air phone Peter [Music] trust so that we're on the home stretch now we just got to put the rinse Bowl and then we're pretty much wrapped up for a shell we can start just some morning knocks out May will you see some tears of joy so now we're going to set this last pearl in and and so we can finish off Baker Baba shell [Applause] Oh [Applause] let's get this thing going down in the Sioux City Iowa alright I'll check this beautto Bob's gonna love this thing good job good job this cabin is gonna look great down in Iowa it's just what Baker Bob wanted a little piece of Minnesota down in Sioux City guys this is sweet you guys really outdid yourself on this one thanks Nate that thing really shines yeah this was the perfect size I think I could just take this or over at me no boy I live in a trailer yeah well let's get this thing torn down we got to get it down to Food City the trucker should be here any minute you know it's amazing feeling when you get that shell built and you know it's coming down it's another one in the books getting those trucks loaded we're sending them down to Bob and Iowa [Music] almost finished eating the trucks loaded for Sioux City and I'm helping John with the log on the truck that his imbalancing right [Music] [Music] [Music] yeah we just got too many logs and eco-floor chocolate I felt good on my job when you let the lock down and snap them the bigger end kicked up and almost hit me in the jaw you never know what these logs will do they got a mind they're gonna go because you're not gonna stop before thousand five this is what nate is so adamant about safety at the log yard you have to be paying attention at all times or something serious could happen thankfully nothing happened here but this is definitely an eye-opening experience for me [Music] running this business I often have multiple projects going on at the same time so one of the trucks make their way to Iowa I'm going to answer a call bought a pretty unique project in Colorado I'm on my way to meet up with Kevin and Marissa Selvi at crazy Mountain brewery they want to incorporate some of the local forestry into their brewery I'm gonna give them some ideas take a look at and see what they're dealing with and really jazz this place up with some logs I think there's a smell hops in the air I must be getting close crazy I've never remodeled interior office before but this will give me a opportunity to work with logs in a different way I can't wait to see what Kevin Marissa want to do at the brewery so what you guys have in mind I mean you got all this log work already I think I came a little late you just wanted me to come and drink beer well not just that we actually just finished expansion and part of that was we got an office space I really need help turning you in office we don't have time to do that ourselves and it's just this wide-open space with dogs is there any log work in there nothing so maybe kind of expand this look over to there yeah well I love to check it out yeah [Applause] [Music] oh boy this is your you work out of here we deal holy smokes I guess I see why you need a remodeling job I mean this is a scene raid out of a garage sale it was crazy I don't know how they get any work done so how is it organized so what we have over here we have a little bit of counter space left over from the Tile Shop so we have a couple of makeshift folding table desks back this was donated from a rummage sale over here yeah and then as we move on back over here we actually got these from a bank that was foreclosing this is kind of the break area where people can see this dilapidated chair right here and try to enjoy their lunch well the dogs are wrestling underfoot we do actually eat after the table well I think I'm starting to get the picture absolutely I think I think that's in the order for sure what do you got drinking on the job this is actually our makeshift laboratory over here this is Johnny's our head brewer and you're trying to do experiments right now with the doctor knocking down everything - yeah I would love my own workspace yeah dogs are nice but you know we need our own room because the dogs kind of make me spill see yeah I don't know how you get work done there it seems like everything's so condensed you know you got the the break room here to the lab to the office space in the cycle morning snack sharing this those sessions are privacy Kevin Rice's office is just bare bones just to open room this is gonna involve more than log craftsmanship but I got some good ideas in mind okay guys first thing that's got to go these cubicles you don't work at a bank you work at a brewery we got to get rid of these they each gotta have their own individual office space over here your break room this is horrible I mean come on that belongs in the dump okay it is maybe did some good but it's time for it all to go you need to have walls here so when your employees come to relax they don't have dogs running around they need their own peace and quiet with a big log table right there so they can sit down relax over here you got to have doors on these this is your conference room you're making calls internationally you get up to date you got to put walls up we're gonna put a big old log table right there John I don't know what you're doing over here but you got to have your own space don't you think I can laughs yeah this guy's your mad scientist he's creating what you guys developed what do you guys think definitely yeah it's exactly what we were thinking something I gotta start now I gotta get guys lined up and we got to get going on this let's get a deal deal all right let's do it this is gonna be awesome opportunity to be involved in the brewhouse so you want this brewery to go in the next level we're gonna have to gut this whole office space and start over back in Sioux City Iowa getting started on Baker Bob's cabin so I'm gonna round up my project manager grizzly Bob and the log father himself my dad to go over the game plan how does the foundation look hey the foundation looks good I think we're gonna be ready for the logs we got our bolts all in place so I think it's gonna go fast well someone's good I'll get the guys going get all the gear out let's start set logs up first corsa logs are attached to the foundation using threaded rods even though that these logs are huge and gigantic is to make sure that the house will not move off its foundation once it's set these lugs would fit real nice we got great stripe lines the laterals look terrific but these are big huge logs look at how high they are we're flying the real fast it doesn't take many logs we're gonna be up at the top the other colors important so quick it feels like it's rise you like a loaf of bread [Music] we had a really productive first day yesterday the logs are lining up and fitting perfectly it's day two and we're starting with the trusses [Music] for more prunes and we should have excelled it's the bone complete [Music] this build is going great we got the shell reassembled in two days and now it's time to start building interior well hey I'm Bob and Tanya hey night so what do you guys think welcome home the size of the box look at the knots and the logs that's a lot of homes well I was telling you I was gonna get the biggest baddest most character on the logs I mean these are it I think you did it when you're walking together we both felt that just the comfort of it the log fitted so well it's magical how they do that you look up and you can see these beautiful logs going into the loft it's a full 3/4 loft all the way out here I love the house you know they just seem like we got a lot of grandchildren and we got seven dogs we have in our other house we have ten grandkids is there any way you can make it a little bit bigger or more spacious oh I thought the loft was gonna be perfect size for him Bob was wondering if there's any way I could add more space up there but I mean the livable space is already there we can't add on to the house you know as far as a ditional space I've had clients requests all kinds of changes in additions to their homes but not enough space this is a first I hate saying no to a client put the shelves built which means the dimensions are set in stone we're pretty much out of options here but just because you can't change a living space doesn't mean you can't change a useable space you know what what would you guys think about if instead of having a window in that dormer we put a door and we have a balcony stepping out that would be beautiful I'd be amazing that really obviously would be amazing well that's something I can do and we'll make sure to work the midnight oil and you know get our headlamps on and we'll do what we got to do to make it happen started on that balcony for Bob while I head back to Colorado and get started on those offices for crazy mo dreary a little crude clean out the space we put up stick-frame walls ran electric and now it's time to hang the drywall Wow this space is already looking better order in I'm getting some help from Chris the head of production here at the brewery it turns out he has some experience in construction and I never turn down an extra hand now that we have the drywall up it's time to start hanging that log siding [Music] this is natural beetle-killed wood from Colorado they kind of wanted that rustic look but also some character to the log and you can see the character out there knots and beetle-killed marks these trees are already dead when they're cut down they're killed by tiny beetles living under the bark leaving behind a high quality solid wood that log lovers like me can't resist you can see here the holes that are in the bark the beetles actually protrude underneath the bark and start chewing on the log basically till the log dies it stands there it dries has a lot of character it's already dead standing lumber once it goes down it's ready for a mill and it's ready to be put up so it's really neat it's native to Colorado and the state of Colorado so Chris this is what I was thinking was just putting these two pieces together now that we got a minor data 45 to put it in the inside corner and then we have nice flat spots to run our horizontal side you know yeah it's perfect on that nice I'm excited well let's start putting it up [Music] we start with the corner pieces then we mark out the studs that are behind the wall once the logs are precisely measured we cut them and screw them right into place the first piece doing interior log siding is a little bit different than handcrafted log building but it still has a gorgeous look it's a great way to introduce stick framing with wood best of both worlds right there all right Chris last one see how it lines up most rooms needed I don't think I all right it's perfect I'll get her so good that job mate [Music] this job isn't just cutting flat logs we have to cover the corners of the hallways - so what we're gonna do is cut a 90-degree corner out of this log and then we're gonna put a flat spot on here - but our siding up against it it's a 90 corner cut that spot up and take that 90 out of there so we can catch our outside the pores my shirts a 90 degree angle and then sometimes I just impress my solo I really like this very curious to see if she fits well I sure hope so it's pretty good chainsaw cut yeah I know look at that it's pretty good over here couple hangers here you put your hat on there every sir alright well get screwed up sounds good that's going to be great we're finished hanging the logs on the walls we've put a nice stain on to give it a glistening clean look and also to keep the bark from falling off the logs Kevin and Merce I really want the office to look like the inside of a log cabin so we're going with the chink look visually bob has a lot of experience in chinking so he's coming in from Iowa to help the chinking specialist from sashko my name's Nick Burch I came here to help Bob install Symphony clearcoat as well as log jam chinking flowing like a beauty right here all right great chink is a latex flexible product in between the log and the cracks makes a nice look it's only in here for aesthetics hundred years ago they used to take mud and grass they fill all these holes in with mud and grass a lot of houses are still standing today and the mud and grass are still there we've modernized come up with a better product it's able to expand and contract with the logs that's water cleanup and it has insulation value of higher value now that we complete the tinking it's time to finish up here at the crazy Mountain brewery you know we're in here in the lab it's a finished product now the dogs can't come in here and he's even got a little piece of beetle-killed beauty right out here on the wall we had to put wallpaper on here because that's sanitary logs are so porous it would actually soak up chemicals and it wouldn't meet standards so this is the best we could do for you John you know in order to see the real deal you're gonna have to check out [Music] we're in the conference room everything is looking just like I thought it was going to we got this beautiful log siding on the wall it's all stained it's kinked we got these awesome rough sawn Timbers put together and this beautiful table Kevin and Morris are gonna love this crazy no worries one more screw that pretty much wraps up this beautiful rough sawn table you know it's got the beetle-killed tracks all over it this screams crazy Mountain brewery I can't wait to show Kevin Marisa I'm all wrapped up here it's time to show this baby out I'm headed to pick up Kevin Marisa and bring them back to their new office we really tried to preserve that Colorado forest theme that they have in their gorgeous brewery I hope they like it you know it's gonna be and we did on the tasting room decided well the constructions been happening so we are pumped to see what he's done for you your new office space the guys you gotta be kidding me this is incredible what do you think I mean does it feel bigger this is a lot more than what you originally talked about this is really [Music] [Applause] sometimes when you have the space to work with you just got to go with it you know this is your lifestyle you know and it's warm feeling it's not just drywall you know I mean check out all the character the logs that he had put up on the walls it looks very rustic down-to-earth he had put chinking in it we had no idea he was gonna do that as you get close up to these logs you see that beetle kill that was the name of the game you see the stain and chinking it really pops out I didn't know you were gonna do too cheeky I mean this case yeah amazed yeah well it really pulls it together it does it blends it in it actually looks like that was the way it was meant to be yeah I mean it looks like it's been here forever and we have meetings and clients come to the brewery it's nice to be able to have this space because the first thing they see when they walk in is all of the log siding it looks like the interior of a log cabin it's so warm and welcoming and just very mountainy and that's exactly that's a whole tree to whole tree how do you do that I mean not only did we take it off the bone but we put it out with your parking lot we snapped a couple lines and cut a corner oh wow this is the best-looking office in the entire beer I mean if you guys love it in here you guys gotta check out this cluster doing it yeah [Music] check this out we had all this long siding me that we're oh this is Wow [Music] what a great place to sit down on this table that's all hands on this is all beetle kill wood right here cleaned it down put the stamp in the middle of it with a hot iron I just like the way that the beetle kill represents itself in this wouldn't say let me look at beetle striations with the grays and blues here everything is very unique with this all this wood came out for the high point over there you're cleaning up the forest yeah mitigating fire absolutely that's inspiring yeah that's crazy mode right there yeah this is the perfect background for this is gonna take your business I think to great places and your hard work and determination is showing off what you want to see your offices yeah all right let's check it out before we'd been on folding tables we had no organization to our office he built an awesome table for us gorgeously put together we got all your cans of beers up here to constant inspiration for us sitting here looking at that each one has its own story and it's kind of rewarding to look up and to remember what each one felt like [Music] we have ten beers on tap today wouldn't you call this one you've got my face side of you guys this one's actually called behind that log lager and we brewed it especially for you the real deal with the chainsaw on the shoulder no I mean a bit of a stir absolutely well looking pretty good so far yeah thank you definitely I hope you like this because we worked really hard on it just as how does he work it was really great to be able to coordinate a pint of Heim log lager and after all he'd done for us it was really nice to be able to make him as happy as we are this is great beer glad you like it Wow my own beer unbelievable I'm so glad Kevin wrist I love their new office now that this job's wrapped up it's time to head back to Sioux City Iowa I got a call from Baker Bob and he wants to add a stone fireplace to his house usually Bob is already back at the build site so I got to get moving we've been working really hard here it's been very cold it's been below zero every day for a week here we've got the roof system on we've got water in them we put the stairs getting said this has all been in two weeks we're working hard these guys are tough from Michigan Minnesota working in all this cold climate they're used to it they're like a bunch of Eskimos tough cold weather boys hey Bob Moses Wolf's thoughts looking in the kitchen hey you're looking real good I have this kitchen ready by the end of the day hey well I just talked to Bob and you know he wanted that freestanding stove yeah now he wants a fireplace or stole is he talking about masonry the real deal it's gonna be pretty tough with 30 below temperatures to find a mason I know well he said he wants a spot to put his elk on so that's a huge change I was gonna deal with that I don't know what do you think it looks like a good spot well let's go see what we got man it's cold here in Sioux City a fireplace may not be a bad idea I wish we had a fireplace right now this is where that freestanding stove is supposed to be is right here and you know Bob dace he gave us the green light to do whatever we got to do to get them a stone fireplace the thing is is where we're gonna put it we can't put in that corner there's no room well this room is kind of small but it is you know that would burn are gonna hook up a lot of room yeah it's a good idea for him there's nothing like a beautiful log hole with a stone fireplace well you know what there's so many openings in here I just realized there's a big patio door there supposed to be a window here a window there and a big window there laughs I would say what if we cancel this window out cut this bottom sill out and we build a fireplace right in here and then we allow for a settling above the top and there's a great place to hang the elk head right up there it'll span over the whole great room let's see what we got for size right here be good night hey we got plenty of room it's got a fireplace right into this opening that's perfect I will just top that off on your time the hard things that find something do stone here's the Bob and I figure out where to put the fireplace and Baker Bob's cabin but a stone fireplace can only be made by a stonemason but temperatures like this that can be nearly impossible where we're gonna get a Mason this time of year well I'll call the guy I know that does Tom Easter are you there yeah I'm here Hey hello hey Bob you thinking do me a favor and put a fireplace in Sioux City for me hey I'll be there that was my lifeline you picked up the phone I picked up the phone I knew you'd jump on board hi I know we're on a tight time schedule this weather is cold but as soon as we get this fireplace in we can turn the heat on here and it'll make this go faster yeah that sounds great perfect pace Bob this law going to get a man's already from Bob and he's been taken from there no better stonemason [Music] we got a fireplace basin right now I got a big up for a heart we got a nice heart that's gonna be in here at least hard to put a fireplace to get our back wall putting some owners be on the outside of that we're gonna be ready to start doing our fire stops amount this fireplace unit we built the balcony frame we're gonna start putting the decking down I'm gonna get started on building some cedar alien we don't got that much time before we got to show this to Bob and Tanya so we're kinda in a rush even in this cold weather these students are later at 7 inches apart sometimes inspectors come through because they have a little 4 inch ball and they check that make sure there's no gaps bigger than 4 inches this is the fireplace that make their Bob whining first folks it's a bit of big rush it's kind of like putting a puzzle together these stones are real stones are made out of granite so it's very heavy they tend to slide a little bit so I got to start on the bottom I got a wedge them all the way up to the top we got all the railing sections built and the sun's starting to go down I'm showing Bob and Tanya the cabin tomorrow so we got to get the balcony done before dark the matter which sides up on this thing there's a the bigger rail should be in the buff that's the bottom yeah [Music] some white leftover yeah pretty good man cheerleader [Music] all right good job Peter it's really good feeling we finally got that last section in we get a little nervous because it was getting dark out but it's a relief knowing that it's all complete that's there's IVA [Music] I'm just finishing some details up inside and I hear a horn it's my interior decorator Heather do you think you guys can help me yeah I'll get the guys we'll help you out one thing Baker Bob really wanted was a Minnesota cabin there are a lot of materials and we ended up reading all the way from Minnesota dial there's the furniture the bed the magazine rack canoe paddles the buck stops here it's a hideaway bed from like eighteen hundred's original leather and it's it doesn't make them like they used to this antler set is actually functional we're using this for a coat rack building furniture is one of my favorite parts about log craftsmanship with the burl the knots the knobs and also the wide logs this thing is full of uniqueness this pet is one of my favorite pieces I've ever built there we go that pretty much does it Heather alright so I'll screw it off and do you want to make the bed and have it already go for Bob and Tanya that'd be awesome that's right good job now that I got this bed together it's time for me to head over and get Bob and Tanya after all these years of Bob dreaming
