 We said we would never do this again. We're about to take three planes over 11 hours to do it again We made it to Idaho and some of you already may know where we are This is Courtney and Riley also known as Ambition Strikes on YouTube These two have spent the last few years building an incredible off-grid property with their own two hands in the mountains of Idaho From their garage home build to constructing a road Nothing is off-limits and no experience is necessary as they have the ambition to learn We plan to help them build their new container workshop, and yep, we signed ourselves up to roof it Courtney and Riley called us in to give them a hand with their Equipment shed and this thing is absolutely massive and beautiful So let's see what we can all accomplish this week as you all know there may be some roofing this week But this is just a warm-up In this episode we not only roof this container workshop But we are going to drive giant machines try welding for the first time and captain a yacht So what is absolutely so cool about this build is everything they do it here is so custom and unique These two shipping containers made up by this roof Moved with this machine to store these beauties. It's just very cool all very unique first step is to do the trim Work then we're going to stain this nice. We don't like staining and then it'd be a good job. Oh, thanks so much I can't wait to start staining Okay, good at least we have one painter in this crew But they do have a really fun way that we get to stain so I can't wait for that and that way we actually finish The container workshop we're starting slow here to make sure we all know each other's roles You know it seems Courtney and Crystal share the same roles seems like Riley and I share the same roles To full PPE, I love it How big is it? Well, they're 40 foot containers and there's 23 feet in between them So it's like the outside is like 40 by 44. Wow. What a dream. Hey, does he yeah, well their machines are also a dream All of us are filming this incredibly unique build So make sure you head on over to their channel to watch us take this project to the finish line Jazzy you're gonna have to try the skid steer. Yeah, you're gonna have to try this skid steer I can't you're gonna have to come back in winter with the snowblower Launching the snow up the hill. Can I go under the snow? Um, sometimes it shoots rocks. Oh, okay, so Jazzy's going for a ride Why did I do it like that day one is looking pretty good out here Jazzy's doing what she does best and I'm doing what I do best Looks fun my happy place. Oh gosh. That's no one ever First time ever with a fancy camera. I am learning it so much over here who trusted me with this thing I am So how are we doing up here? That looks so good This is the first time I've seen it like since the stain was going on really since the first three or four boards I think I'm getting better at Courtney's technique. She's a little heavy. You might have had to go to the hardware store again I think oh, I learned how to zoom too. I Think that reckless Riley is wearing off on somebody Crystal what are you doing up there? Look at that. I thought you were afraid of heights Yeah, yeah Mighty fine Working hard a day one, baby. Oh, yeah, look at it. Oh Yeah, it's looking so good I can't believe how much work they've done to get to this point and it's so cool that we're here to cross the finish line Almost yeah, and see it come together. It's gonna be really satisfying Crystal's brush. Oh, yeah. Oh my gosh. I'm very Is there just so much paint on it? Yeah, just a little bit. I told you you're a heavy painter I know I painted my art It's like clear like there's like corny that you can probably return this I Can't wait to roof in the morning We just enjoyed our coffee with the most gorgeous mountainous Sunrise and it's so nice of here and the air is chef's kiss. Cheers everyone Doing Riley's thing. Sorry. It's a gentle cheers Today's the day that this building gets a new roof and we do the thing that we said we never do again Are you ready? Courtney's warming up the skid steer because she has a fantastic plan where we're not actually gonna have to lift up these metal sheets on our own Metals on the skid steer we're getting a heck of a lot closer to putting that metal up I love machines Courtney is so badass in her skid steer. I love seeing her in there. She just loves that machine. It's so obvious It really makes me more on It looks so handy for everything. I can't believe how high you can actually lift materials I feel like I could come in handy at our homestead Okay, Jazzy all honesty. How are you feeling about this roof? I'm actually excited to do it with more hands and just crystal and I when we roofed our cabin Back home in Nova Scotia It was just the two of us and we only had building experience probably for four months before that and Nothing nothing close to roofing and we roofed our entire cabin just the two of us and Crystal wouldn't go on the roof at that time So I was constantly going up and down lifting those heavy metal sheets Just the two of us over the scaffolding and back on the roof So this is a lot less intimidating every single person here has roofed before which is super helpful And everyone is so handy and knowledgeable that I think it's going to be like I think we're gonna bang out this entire roof in one day Not gonna lie. Thank you to electric bikes for sponsoring this week's video and for making my life ten times more fun We've been riding these bikes for over a year out here and when we heard they wanted to partner We were so excited because we know all of you will love these if we could have driven these to Idaho We would have the team at electric proudly makes the most affordable electric bikes in North America But using the most durable materials like a 500 watt motor that peaks at 1,000 watts hydraulic disc brakes front suspension and the ability to carry a hundred and fifty pounds in the rear Basket these bikes are made for people who want to get out there and explore making commuting to work or the grocery store Easy, but also the ability to explore trails and places like these woods with their off-road tires It seriously is such a great family activity to do together my mom had it wrote a bike in 20 years And she loves them especially the XP 3.0, which has this really nice step through So you can get on and off the bike with ease as well as the pedal assist you can control the amount of work you want to do with the pedal assist function by clicking plus or minus on the bike and Even just pedaling it engages the motor and allows you to do either less work or more work Depending on the type of activity you want to do that day if you've been thinking about an electric bike for you or someone You love click on the link in the description and check out all of their models and their accessories. They're super sweet Couldn't recommend them more All right back to Idaho we go gonna take the bike there Hey, I believe in us. Oh, I can't wait It's so cool to like do something that you've said you would never do again Step one make sure the first piece is level and square and all of that jazz that way our roof doesn't look like a slope or a hill You never know a way could go and rally's gonna tell you how we're gonna do that. Oh, I guess the question is Did you build this building square? Probably not I? Built it as square as I could but every time I tried to move a container to get them square to each other Things would move and I eventually got I never actually thought of that because you're placing two containers Everyone's played that game where you pull one side and then the other side goes out and you pull the other side and the other side Goes out. That's probably what he was doing Courtney, are you excited? I am so excited to get this roof on we've been staring out at this Structure from our house for a week, and I can't wait to put the metal on friends by friends of safety harness, right? Okay, what they're doing here is super cool. We're making a triangle a giant triangle This is some proper roofing folks My calf muscle is shaking uncontrollably and I am not doing it Okay, everything is going so smooth. I love roofing. I can't believe I'm saying that we're on our fifth sheet of metal It's not even 10 and it's not even 10 a.m. Well, maybe it's 10. Oh five. All right. It's 10 a.m How many panels we go out? No, you just put the same thing you did. Yep. Okay. You get it twice I was feeling like I didn't need to measure and mark for these screws until I looked down my line and We should have started with the other side, eh? We would have learned that mistake We always start with a side people can't see because then we learn so many things. That's smart Every single build squared it off to the fascia won't point any fingers or anything just kidding It's going to be a little bit of a stair like but we're gonna go down by like we did this on our roof at one Quarter you can't even notice it on the side. You can't see and you can't notice it at all Also, there's gonna be another roof here. So You're never noticing. Yeah, so this board here the fascia. Well is it's milled so it's not quite perfect, right? But who wants perfect no one wants perfect exactly I'm having my fancy coffee that you can only get in the United States Okay, I was thinking you got one of those canned ones again, I'm not messing around here Last piece Look at you just jump right on your butt Look at the scissors basically that cuts model. Yeah, not the vibe That's so sick. Look how smooth they are. I need these first side is completed and I have to say Riley Courtney, you've made me love roofing all over again That's probably the most fun. I've ever had on the roof too. Yeah Roofing fun with friends when we start roofing at another building. I'm calling you I just got the best update ever. Look at what Bella's doing Playing with lamb chop. Gosh. I miss those girls One for the view side number two this time we use the string. So we're gonna be it's gonna be even easier Wow, you are crushing can you just take in how far we've made it I am shocked like what time is it? We're gonna have time to break and go out to dinner. I think we're going for dinner Have to say we are the dream team. Look at these impact drivers going One all shocked that it is only day two here and the roof is on I for sure thought When Courtney and Riley said that we would be able to do this all in three days I was like, there's no way it might take a week or however long But it goes to show when you've got a good team get stuff done because this is looking Incredible and we are on the very last The electric shears are out. That is honestly the coolest machine. I just see double when I try it I think I need glasses you 100% need glasses and every time I try our goal blurry And then I get an instant headache Just see everything Are you done I am done don't slide from all the way up there Riley Did it thank you both so much like honestly, I thought we were calling in the a YouTube team, but maybe like the C builder team, but I feel like you guys are like the AA team Thanks for teaching us how to roof Remember all the special little tricks that I'd forgotten Teamwork makes a dream work crushed it welcome to ambition strikes where yet again our equipment has run out of fuel Let's be real it isn't all work out here a lot of it is fun It is basically Disneyland for adults out here for us. Anyway, this is amazing. Are you ready? I'm so ready also after all that hard work. It's obviously time to play today We're going to drive giant machines try welding for the first time and captain yacht The fact that this excavator has a Google I makes my day Jazzy's in the excavator That was too much fun. Oh my goodness. I can't believe I just drove a 12 ton Excavator I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd be operating a 12 ton excavator. So I was capped at five my turn Look Chris, there's a sunroof Oh true well Chris is a lot smarter than me. It's an escape hatch You're welcome you should make that googly eye talk that was the time of my life good work Wow, it's such a big machine though. He's like really quite spooky to be in there at one point Why did you guys get this excavator and why so we've had this excavator for about six months now? And we needed a bigger machine to build the road behind me This was actually the companion machine to a much larger cat excavator We got a lot of work done this summer look at that road everyone Road builder looking around out here at their property You may think that they have loads of experience and that you know They've adapted this knowledge from someone else over years But they are new to almost all of what they've done here and that is what is so impressive about them Hence the name ambition strikes They really just love to learn and get their hands dirty and it's super inspiring Honestly having such a great time just wandering around their land Playing with their toys and their tools and learning so much from them This is what I love so much about YouTube is our wonderful community and the ability to make friends All around the world and meet people like Courtney and Riley. I feel like we've made friends for life just like jazz and crystal We're also fully off-grade here with a similar Victron system, but a little bit bigger Can't wait to see it also this DIY solar array Sweet 20,000 lots of Victron inverters 60 kilowatt hours of batteries It's enough so that we can weld plasma cut do all kinds of fabricating right here on the property fully off-grid You heard that right just like we are off-grid in Nova Scotia Courtney and Riley are fully off-grid out here in the mountains in Idaho and this is their home and their workshop Welcome to the shop. Come on in. I love it. So we live in a 12 by 40 apartment upstairs right above me Courtney has a surprise for us today. We are going to be learning how to weld. They're pretty good welders as you can see Everything is metal. I think I just showed you all wood and drywall, but everything is metal here I'm going to be just as surprised as all of you Welding I know I've been wanting to learn actually like the last 10 years Yeah Whoo So we're both doing welding projects today There is the first one that's been cut and now our surprise is about to be cut So we have to blindfold ourselves if anyone has any guesses on what they think it is leave them in the comments Because I actually don't even know I wonder if they all know before me. Let us know I Love it. Thank you so much I'm excited for you guys to weld it. Yeah, now we get to weld. It gets better and better and better. Oh my gosh It's beautiful, right? If you haven't subscribed to our friends already, you really should get over there now, please Look how kind this is. I was just thinking about how kind you guys are on doing this. My mom is gonna be obsessed with us there No one can't see you Forget I can't look at it Is it good? Oh Wow the first one How much welding experience do you have? Question is do you think the wind will spin it? Maybe The hurricane wind Come on, it's the best thing ever. I think it's totally gonna work certified welders The interactive theory doesn't end here time to become an operator a skid steer operator We're just putting our forks in more that way we can carry the IBC tote as it's a little bit more narrow I can't see go in And I go back to their beautiful equipment shed that's not only an equipment shed But it's going to store all their firewood and so much more which is so handy Oh Courtney, I kind of want to steal your skid steer Jazzy's having the absolute best time in the skid steer But I have to say Courtney and Riley are also having a fantastic time showing us around You can tell they absolutely just love every inch of what they do out here. Thanks for taking me to Disneyland That was so fun. Then I captain the cheapest yacht. All right We're about to finish this workshop build over on ambitious Drake's channel. Go check it out.
