 It's okay, it's okay." Across Nova Scotia tonight, there is significant damage and heartache after the heaviest rains in more than 40 years. I can't believe that's our road. Over two years ago, we purchased this abandoned cabin, when it looked nothing like how it does now. We had no idea what we were in for. And since then, with no experience, we have been able to make some major transformations. From the remodeling of the interior to building an off-grid electrical system, over the past few weeks, the work hasn't stopped. As we prepare for one of the biggest milestones yet, the exterior transformation. But as we get started getting to work, we got a surprise visit. It's a sprinter! Look behind you. It's not a van life friend. Goodbye, plywood counters. We will not miss you. Having a sink with running water, a stove, fridge and cabinetry has been a game-changer. And today it's the final step. I'm going to miss you, Ply. Well, you've been waiting like six months for these. This is why. What color do you think we're all going with? I need to know. Let us know in the comments. What color counters you think? Knowing us. It will really prove if the pack knows the pack. The first step is to remove part of the kitchen and the plumbing as the sink we have is an under-mount sink. Did you know we got an under-mount sink? Yeah. Yeah, the boss did. So we're good on that. I had no idea. I thought I was supposed to sit on top. Anyways, I always fancy people's kitchens that have under-mount sinks and now I have one. I feel like we're talking about plumbing and now all of a sudden there's a little counter. It's going to be so cool. Your guest. A nice off matte white ding, ding, ding, ding, y'all right. It's concrete. This is so sick. I can't wait. It's going to look so good. We couldn't be more excited for this, but we know we need to keep tackling the blue skin, but we just can't help it. We have to watch the magic unfold. That's amazing. The whole new kitchen already? I know it. I love it. I love the choice. Me too. It's clean. Yeah. Clean. Is that a... Oh my. Cocking on? Yeah. Battered hard? It's for this stuff specifically though. Like you can't just use any cocking in it? Yeah. It has its super hard to squeeze out. Ah. That is so cool. What? Look at your stance. Did you even know that? No. No one looked at each other's looks? It's blown away. It looks way better than I thought it was. Can you look? It looks amazing. Also the process. Like I'm just sitting here like watching them like, whoa, like it's so seamless. Ta-da. Do you love it? Love. Love. Literally. So bright and beautiful. These look so clean. Like there was just so many like pieces of plywood and now it's just like, whoa. I know it. Also they were so nice. So nice. Wow. This is so sick. Look at you. I'm in the comments. I'm in the comments. Bye. Oh my gosh. I forgot we had dogs. Just kidding girl. You've been so quiet. Good. Like that to me mom. I can't wait till you prepare my... You don't like counter? No. You don't like counter? No. You don't like counter? No. I can't wait till you prepare my food on that counter. I can't wait till you prepare my food on that counter. I can't wait till you prepare my food on that counter. I can't wait till you prepare my food on that counter. My dear in all. Mama. I don't care. Bless you. I'm going to attempt for the first time to put up the biggest piece of blue sea and I have ever put on I have to say, oh no, I think it's going to rain. It was so nice like two minutes ago. It's becoming very smooth and very easy to put on now and we have such a rhythm I'm very impressed we've come a long way since the first side. No. It never ends. Oh. It's unbelievable I tell you. Unbelievable, I tell ya. I don't know how many hundreds of shots we have of the never ending rain this year. That was a smashing success. We have a angle and about 10 to 12 feet of blue skin in one whole piece all the way up here and made it to the door. Is that your biggest piece yet? I think it is. How you doing that? I don't know, it's cool though. Oh, star. Well, Krista gets to do all the fun stuff. She demoted me. Remember when we said the blue skin gets even worse? Every seam basically has to be cocked and then trawled. Thankfully, Krista is now a pro blue skinner and can put on larger pieces so there's going to be a lot less seams. Are you okay? Yeah, just quick break. Is your back hurting you? Like a little bit. But it's also been like a while since I've like, a month, right? Since I was at osteo. I haven't been having my day. Oh, a couple of days. Yeah, so I think it's like probably on par. I feel so bad for Bella and Izzy. It's so hot and humid and rainy and muggy and they don't even want to come outside. AC is coming soon, girls, promise. Y'all know Bella and Izzy. They're Velcro dogs, right by us, always outside. Not anymore. Literally getting AC for them. How are you feeling there, Krista Krista? Trusty tired, hungry, hot, sweaty, muggies. Knock it. We learned something. Never cock while you are still doing the job. It stinks. Get into my head. I literally feel like I'm in the sauna right now. I am dripping everywhere. I'm in Death Valley. All the seams are cocked. That is some stinky work. My blue skinner actually can't go any farther because the smell is affecting her sensitiveness. It's going up. Yeah, I know. I think it's stinky. Well, why don't you go get a mask on there, PPE? Glasses on PPE. Pretty. You know what I can't wait for? This side. Want to know why? Because there's absolutely nothing but glass, baby. Who left the door open? As Porter would say, you little barn ladies. Kind of used to. There's poop in our walls. Last piece of blue skin is going up, everyone. Thank you all. Thank you all so much for cheering. I can't believe we made it this far. Could have done it without you. Okay, this side is officially completed. Wow, never thought we'd get there. And now we're starting on the identical backside with good old painton. The house is officially going to be completely blue. I mean, I think it was always blue, wasn't it? A drift would be blue. This old crappy plywood is. If you missed last week's, this paint is like a very, very sticky paint. And it acts as an adhesive for the peel and stick membrane we are putting on top. Since our plywood is not that nice, they recommend that you use this first. I think you can get away without using it, but rather go big or go home, right? Or go big than lose your home in this case. As you know, painting takes forever. Let's just save you from the boringness. And that, my friends, is a painted house. Jasmine, on the other hand, at the exact same time, was finishing or caulking all of the seams. And there's a lot of them on the side. On the first side, which is looking pretty rough, to be honest, she's nearly done, but the first side, the side less seen for a reason. Because as you can see, she's got a lot of work. Not that you ever see this anyway. I know, but still, we've gotten a lot better since this side. I think this is the least risky side, though. There's like no sound exposure. The gutters are kind of still up here. Best thing we ever created. Cold. We're freezing cold. That's exactly what I needed. I'm so sticky. It's a lot to go feeling, right? Yeah. Are you girls ready for your cool down? Oh, baby. Happy to see you. Since I don't know when. I guess it's where the wind has blown. I love the air. You're so cute. All you can hear is the other river right now. And the birds and the insects and the frogs. And Bell and Izzy. Hoppin' and poppin'. 745. Clocking out from being a cider. Is that what they call them? Who knows? Contractor. Contractor. But guess what? Now I'm going to become a plumber. You're ready to bring their kitchen back to life? But even like more to life? They're ready. Doesn't the sink thing look weird? Yeah, it does. Like that's going to leak. Isn't it? Yeah. Let's test it. You can't right now. That's a hundred percent going to leak. Test it? Because it's going to leak. Why would they have put it back on? Why did they put it back on without this? Turns out they missed a piece. Not what I had planned. So I'm going to need you to hold the top. The missing component. Oh no. Oh no. I'm losing it. Look at you go plumber. Like what was the expectation here? Like why did they put it on? I don't get it. Plumber or rink? Do they want us to fix it? Plumbers. No leaks girl. Check it out. Dishes. Food. Beautiful. Now I need to clean out that cupboard. Put all my things away. Turn the music on. Have a party. Can't wait to show you all the kitchen. See you all in 10 second party. Eleven twenty at night. Dinner. On the island. It's late and we've been going to bed early. Thanks for dinner. Good night everyone. Good night babe. Good job today. How's your espresso? Good. Thank you. I love it. You're ready to get to work? Ready. Bring this cabin to the sky? From here. Do you get it? No. Because it's going to be blue. Like the blue sky. To hop to girls. One in a Y. Twelve p.m. Thunder showers. What else is new? Yo listen. No. This is the story. I've got a little girl who fix it. Blue house. All day and all night. She's avoiding the rain. Trying to waterproof her cabin in the woods. I'm blue. I've been need I've been dying. I've been need I've been dying. I won off track. I really like the song though. New hit single. We're going to get to it. Hopefully it doesn't rain on us. All right. Once again we find ourselves in a battle against the rain. And just as we catch our stride. You guessed it. No. Try and put this piece on right now. The rain came early. It's 10.22. Oh. Literally. Honestly. What can you do? When all there is is rain in the forecast. You lay horizontal. We lost. Mother nature won. She always wins. I've never been so disappointed. I'm so sad. I just wanted to sign my house. We really thought that we would have been able to complete this by now. But this is just not a project that you want to do in the rain. You can't do it in the rain crystal. Yeah. When it stops raining, you then have to wait for your walls to dry. Or it's not going to stick. Not ideal. Definitely not going to work. So we're going to call it. The rain just kept coming. We weren't sure if it was ever going to stop. And if we were ever going to get this project done. We asked ourselves. This can't go all night. Can it? Ty. No. Are you all right? Oh my God. I was terrified when I asked. We just tried to make the girls comfortable. And waited out. Cross Nova Scotia tonight. There is significant damage and heartache after the heaviest rains in more than 40 years. In those hours between yesterday afternoon to this morning, areas got over 250 millimeters of rain to put it into context. That's an entire summer's worth of rain in just a few hours. Last night was pure chaos. I don't even know. I screamed literally. Girls were scared. Crystal was scared. The storm really passed directly over the cabin. I can't even begin to explain. At one point it felt like in the beginning it was coming from the shed area. Over an hour it slowly passed over our cabin. And at one point it was right over top of the cabin. And I looked outside and like you could feel the thunder. You could see the light. I don't even know what was happening. It was so chaotic. The cabin shook. Like literally I've never experienced that. Very, very scary. The scariest thunderstorm, lightning combination I've ever witnessed. A chaotic scene in Bedford Nova Scotia early this morning as Friday night's extensive rainfall turns many areas around the region unrecognizable. Well heavy rainfall was predicted. No one expected this. Some of the worst damages west of Halifax where roads and bridges are washed out. We lost a number of bridges and a number of other bridges are compromised. Because we have so many trees and like all the forest around here the flooding where we are isn't like we don't have roads that can like get that damaged. Thankfully everything has a place to go. Yes. However the road after you get off of our dirt road and you get onto the main highway you can't pass. It's completely caved in. There are dozens of road closures and highway closures all across the province flooding everywhere. Severe, severe weather is happening here. The drivers are swimming down the highway right now. This morning there was a huge evacuation alert for a huge chunk of the province because there was also a possibility of a dam breach. Just been some wild wild weather this year all around the world but in Nova Scotia. The intensity of the storm seems worse than what had been forecast. The reason why is because we've had these above average sea surface temperatures that fuel these kind of convective very strong rain events. It was not expected at all. It came out of nowhere. We posted on our Instagram and we're getting a lot of locals messaging us right now. Listen to this one. I have never experienced anything like it. I'm in Halifax and it felt like the world was cracking open again and again and they said quite a bit more but that's what it was like. Like it honestly like the sounds and the feelings like it did at some point feel like there was like an earthquake because it was just so so intense. Yeah. It was so intense. I didn't even want to leave the cabin last night to take any video outside on the porch. We've done that in the past with Hurricane Fiona and whatnot but I literally did not feel safe. Not in a lightning storm. Not in a lightning storm. Didn't even feel safe leaving my bedroom. Also not even in my bedroom because of the big windows. I said this to Chris though I was like for some reason when you don't have windows you feel a lot safer because you can't see anything but with the windows I was petrified. We just realized that the lightning that struck outside the cabin last night fried our Starlink internet and we've tried everything. It's not turning back on. We're good. We can't get out. Thank gosh we have a greenhouse. Thank gosh we have power and thank gosh we have electricity that is off grid. So sorry just had a little reflection moment there of like thinking wow this is why we do it. This is why we want to live off grid. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Taking on the siding project just the two of us reminds me so much of cabin season one where we were doing massive projects head on almost too confidently. It was such feats like the roof for example and the driveway and those go down as some of my favorite memories and favorite projects we've done to date because not only are they aesthetically pleasing but they are functional. Most things like the roof and the siding play a huge role in the structural integrity of our cabin so there's so many so many pros of finally being here. I'm just we're so excited I can't wait to close my eyes and open them and see this cabin completely transformed and completely weatherproof. Wish us luck. It's so hard to believe that we're even here. I just saw that means we're going to cut our first piece of strapping. Wow wow wee wow as Telly would say holy smokes. Tape! You ready? Okay we have come to the decision that we are going to be siding our cabin horizontally and originally we did want to go up and down like inside the cabin. However after we read the instructions and talked to Chris from Blackwood Siding we realized if you do that you not only have to strap vertically but also horizontally for heat and water so it's best that we go horizontal given that our windows are already set at the certain depth that our siding is going to go. But to be honest I was sad but I think I'm pretty happy now that we are going to go horizontal because well one I just think it's less room for error if moisture ever does get in there in Canada with the heat with the being black and all that jazz. All we have to do is throw up our burning strips vertically every 16 on the studs and then we can get to siding. This project has been pretty challenging so far but we are so excited to see the transformation in the next few weeks but first some self-care. I'm off to therapy for my back. Bye! Bye! I am very happy Crystal of taking care of her back because it's your back. You only have one. Okay now time to test what the heat is like. Siding is a great job in the summer because you never have to be in the direct sun because you get to choose what side you want to be on. So I'm not going for this and I'm not going for the back because there is so much sun here. I'm going to go for right under the porch. As you can all see it got very dark and shaded as I went under there. I'll start siding this side next or strapping this side next. And hopefully when Crystal gets home we can probably put the siding on both the sides. But I think I need to eat first. I love leftovers. Pesto spaghetti and the pesto is from the garden. Made it last night. This is either going to be a really good idea or a bad idea. Maybe horizontal on the couch after this. Yes my lunch break was that long. She's going to know. I've done nothing but cut five pieces and have a nap on the couch. I'm ready to go for the evening shift. It's the moment we've all been waiting for. You ready? The entire house is rolling and it's not just like one little area. I just don't think we can sit here any longer. I think we need to start making a move. The province has seen so much devastation this year and these storms were shattering for so many. And for those who are affected we're thinking about all of you.
