00:00Hey, guys.
00:01Well, hey, guys.
00:02I need their help to expand.
00:04So this is just like a one-stop shop for everything go.
00:07Yes.
00:10There's a building on the outside of town.
00:12It was a granary.
00:13Dude, yeah, that's perfect.
00:15This is big.
00:17In order to make it movable,
00:19we had to take the lid off of the building.
00:23Hold up!
00:24We're stuck on something.
00:25Good Lord, this thing is wide.
00:27My rear wheels are barely touching the ground.
00:30I don't like this.
00:35That is bananas.
00:37In three, two, one.
00:40Oh, my God.
00:43My given name is Jared Cappy.
00:46But everyone calls me Cappy.
00:48This is probably one of the coolest things I've ever done.
00:50Everyone, Claire?
00:51I've been a professional builder for over 15 years.
00:54Woo-hoo!
00:55But a few years ago, I teamed up with my daughter, Alex.
00:59Whoa.
01:00It looks so good in here.
01:02We specialize in transforming unconventional objects.
01:05Whoa!
01:06I'm awake now.
01:08What if we did use a plane?
01:09Wait, really?
01:10All right, Alex.
01:11She's all yours.
01:13Into one-of-a-kind creations.
01:15Oh, my God.
01:16It's so amazing.
01:18And we get to do it for our favorite people.
01:20Love you.
01:21Oh, my God.
01:22Look it!
01:23Look it!
01:24Look it!
01:25But the best part...
01:27...is we get to do it together.
01:39Hey, kid.
01:40Where are we off to today?
01:41Okay.
01:42So I found this really awesome lady.
01:43She's so cool.
01:44She has a stand at the farmer's market.
01:47But her main thing is goats.
01:49She makes, like, goat soap, goat candles, goat everything.
01:53What's her name?
01:54Her name is Shelby Lunn.
01:56And she...
01:57We went to high school together.
01:58Really?
02:00True story.
02:02Yeah, she's so cool, and she seems so nice.
02:04Yeah, Shelby's great.
02:05And she mentioned how she needs some sort of expansion on the farm.
02:09Like, she has a workshop, but it's in her garage.
02:12Okay.
02:13And it's just as the business is growing, the space isn't growing with her.
02:16She needs a designated space that's separate from her home.
02:20Yeah, I hear that.
02:28Oh, my gosh.
02:29This is awesome.
02:31Oh.
02:32Kathy.
02:33Oh, hey, guys.
02:34Hi.
02:35How's it going?
02:36Hi.
02:37Hi, darling.
02:38Hi.
02:39Oh, my goodness.
02:40Hi, Alex.
02:41This is awesome.
02:42So pretty.
02:43Do you just, like, wake up one morning with your coffee and be like, oh?
02:45We are living the dream.
02:46Yes.
02:47We have two boys.
02:48Odin is 13.
02:49Ulrich is 11.
02:51And this is our farm.
02:55This is my La Mancha Norma.
02:57I can get about a gallon of milk from her a day.
03:00What?
03:01Holy camole.
03:02Yeah.
03:03She's a good milker.
03:04Your goat products sound amazing, just from the sustainability piece of it.
03:07Yeah.
03:08It's like as farm to table as you can get, right?
03:09It is.
03:10Yeah.
03:11It's all natural.
03:12It's all made by my hand.
03:13Yeah.
03:14So how long have you actually had the farm?
03:15We bought the property in 2016.
03:17Okay.
03:18And it wasn't a farm.
03:19It was just the house.
03:20Once we got out here and saw it, it was too good not to take.
03:24Yeah.
03:25Packed up the family and...
03:27Moved them out here.
03:28Moved out here.
03:29Moved out here.
03:30I was doing real estate then.
03:32In 2019, my dad was diagnosed with stage four cancer.
03:36Oh, wow.
03:37So, yeah.
03:38Going through that really made me want to change my life.
03:44Something that just always resonated with me is my dad always lived in the moment.
03:52So, I knew I wanted to do what I wanted.
03:58So, then we started getting goats and started building the farm.
04:01Okay.
04:02And so, that's where I started to make the goat products.
04:05Alex said you guys talked about you wanting to expand.
04:08I'm really needing to expand my workshop.
04:11We're here to have Cappy and Alex help us with a new building.
04:18Where I make all my skin products is just too small and I need their help to expand.
04:25So, this is a big place.
04:26What are you thinking?
04:27Well, we're kind of thinking over in that area.
04:31Like the way you come in?
04:32Yeah.
04:33Okay.
04:34So, if we want to walk over there, I can show that to you guys.
04:36Yeah.
04:37I also need somewhere to showcase all my products.
04:42You know, I get calls all the time of people wanting to come pick it up here.
04:45They come to my shop and it's kind of embarrassing because it's just a mess in there.
04:50So, how many kinds of animals do you have?
04:52Well, we have around seven to eight different animals.
04:56Ducks, chickens, horses, goats, a donkey named Gus.
05:01There's a donkey?
05:02There's a miniature donkey.
05:03Oh, yeah.
05:04A donkey named Gus.
05:05No way.
05:06He is so fun.
05:09And then, here's kind of where I guess we're thinking of having the building put.
05:14So, this is just like a one-stop shop for everything goats, right?
05:18Yes.
05:19And also storage.
05:20My soaps are quite the process.
05:23It takes about eight weeks to make just one bar.
05:25Oh, wow.
05:26Because the way I do it is hundreds of years old.
05:28Wow.
05:29And so, I need a lot of space for them to sit and cure.
05:32Do they need to be in a cold space, in a warm space?
05:36Room temperature to a little bit cooler would be perfect.
05:39Now, in terms of like style, what do you like?
05:42Definitely, I love the French country look.
05:45Okay.
05:46Like a lot of exposed wood.
05:47Yeah.
05:48And I love antiques anyway.
05:49I love the history.
05:50Gosh, you got all the questions, kid.
05:51Yeah.
05:52I don't know if I have any.
05:53I mean, I think I'm good because I have all sorts of ideas.
05:55Awesome.
05:56We'll go back and talk about the plan.
05:59Love it.
06:00Okay.
06:01Love it.
06:03So excited to have you go.
06:04Thanks, Cap.
06:05You bet.
06:06Well, that was super fun.
06:11Oh, my gosh.
06:12So much fun.
06:13When we were hearing about all the things that she works with,
06:16it really sounds like we're almost making like an apothecary.
06:19Like somewhere that sells natural products.
06:21Right?
06:22I like that.
06:23The goat apothecary.
06:24In terms of structure, obviously, we love to repurpose things.
06:29Well, I thought of it while she was talking.
06:32There was a farm on the outside of town.
06:34There's a building that still sits there.
06:36It's got like a rusty silver tin roof.
06:38Dude, yeah, that's perfect.
06:40Yeah.
06:41What I like about it is let's start the project with something that's antique.
06:44Yeah.
06:45So I know the guy who owns it.
06:47I can give him a call.
06:48Yeah, 100%.
06:53Hey there.
06:54How's it going, boss?
06:55Good.
06:56Sprout and I, we just left a client's house.
06:58And we're trying to figure out some sort of workshop slash retail space.
07:04Awesome.
07:05You guys have that little white building.
07:07That was from the old Meyers property.
07:11Old, old settlers in the area.
07:14And when we bought that property, everything got torn down.
07:18Except that little greenery building.
07:21Gosh, if you have somebody that would love it and use it, we'd sure be open to that.
07:26Rick, would you be open to Sprout and I popping in and taking a look at it?
07:29That would be great.
07:30Thanks, partner.
07:31Appreciate it.
07:32Have an awesome day.
07:33Bye-bye.
07:34You want to pop by and check it out on the way home?
07:35Heck yeah.
07:36Cool.
07:37There she is.
07:39There she is.
07:40This is big.
07:41I like the size of it.
07:42This siding has seen much better days.
07:55Yeah, this wood definitely needs to go.
07:57What do you think?
07:58It's got to be turn of the century.
08:00I bet it's early 1900s.
08:01Yeah.
08:02So, Rick said it was a granary.
08:05Can you imagine you grew grain and then had a dedicated building to store it to feed your
08:10animals for the rest of the year?
08:11Crazy.
08:12We just go to the mill and buy big sacks of it and they give it to us.
08:16Ooh.
08:18Looks pretty solid.
08:20Oh, I think all the walls got to go on the inside.
08:23Mm-hmm.
08:24I would like to salvage the wood though.
08:25It's good.
08:26Like...
08:27Mm-hmm.
08:28I'd keep the walls in place while it's moved so the structure holds together.
08:33Well, what do you think?
08:36I really like it.
08:37I definitely want to redo the doors and windows just because a French cottage is very light.
08:42It's very airy.
08:43Awesome.
08:44Our plan for Shelby's dream workspace is to transform this antique granary into a unique,
08:51one-stop shop for all things goat.
08:53First, we'll move the structure to Shelby's farm.
08:56Then, swap out the old exterior siding and remove the interior walls to make the building
09:01feel bright and welcoming.
09:03We'll give Shelby space to both craft her handmade products and showcase them in style.
09:08A boiler will keep the temperature consistent over long South Dakota winters and will create
09:13an eye-catching sign to draw folks in.
09:16The challenge is going to be moving the old granary all the way to Shelby's farm without damaging it.
09:21And then making sure the final space checks all the boxes on Shelby's wish list.
09:27And then I think the next question is, how do we move it?
09:31It's really tall.
09:32Let me think about that.
09:33I don't know the legal height limit on the freeway, but I'm pretty sure this exceeds it.
09:38It's under this height.
09:40Before we can give the granary a new home, we've got to make sure there's a rock solid place to plant it.
09:47And that starts with a new foundation.
09:50First step, Tanner is digging out the footprint.
09:53Next, some of Shelby's friends help lay out the concrete forms.
09:56We're including a crawl space for pipes and wiring and a bonus area out back.
10:01It'll be perfect for an outdoor deck, but even better if Shelby decides to expand her growing business down the line.
10:09We're pouring our concrete into insulated concrete forms that'll provide a proper frost-protected foundation.
10:17Finally, the site is ready for the granary.
10:20But now comes the tricky part, actually getting the granary to the site.
10:24The challenge is, the building itself is 18 feet tall.
10:28By the time I put it on my three-foot-tall trailer, I can't drive down the road with that.
10:33It'll put me about seven feet over the legal height limit of 14 feet.
10:38So, in order to make it moveable, we're cutting off every nail that holds the roof down.
10:47And today, we're going to pick the roof off of the building and transport each section on two different lines.
10:54Good, isn't it?
10:55Good, isn't it?
10:56The next step is its journey west.
10:58We're hauling this wide load 11 miles, first down a section of interstate, and then down a bumpy country road.
11:09So, we made these custom plates that bolt to the building, and this hole, or this picking eye on this custom bracket,
11:16is going to allow the chain to come up past this.
11:20We don't want to damage the roof or any of the roof structure, so we have to pick this outboard of the roof.
11:27I also fabricated a beam that extends over the length of the roof, and welded mounts to it for chains that attach to the roof brackets.
11:41Cappy, I reckon this roof weighs about 6,000 pounds.
11:48Last time we picked something that was heavy, your welds didn't hold.
11:54Well, that's not ideal.
11:56It's going to be fine.
11:58I bet you a super burrito manadero that my welds hold.
12:04Yeah, with everything.
12:06Yeah, yeah, but that means when they hold you, you have to buy me the same thing.
12:09Uh-huh.
12:11All right.
12:12Get one weld.
12:14Drop a big tank.
12:15Meh.
12:18You're on that corner.
12:19I'm on this corner.
12:20Okay.
12:21Going up!
12:23All jokes aside.
12:24Watch those plates.
12:25If we drop this old granary, it won't bounce.
12:28It'll bust open like a sad pile of rustic firewood.
12:31This'll go out a little bit.
12:34And now that the pressure's really on, it's time to raise the roof.
12:49Oh!
12:50Whoa!
12:51Whoa!
12:52Hold up!
12:53We're stuck on something!
13:02Hold up!
13:03Hold up!
13:06Looks like we're hung up on the front.
13:11And I got a board on the inside connected to the rafters.
13:18That much tension could break my weld, but at this point, I gotta go for it.
13:23I think if you keep pulling straight up, it'll come loose.
13:26I'm clear!
13:27I'm up!
13:28I'm clear!
13:29I'm up!
13:30I'm clear!
13:31Nice job, boys!
13:32Go ahead and start backing up!
13:33Nice and easy!
13:34I'm up!
13:35I'm up!
13:36I'm clear!
13:37I'm up!
13:38Nice job, boys!
13:40Go ahead and start backing up!
13:41Nice and easy!
13:42Good lord, this thing is wide!
13:43Oh, let's go down real easy!
13:44Down!
13:45Down!
13:46Down!
13:47Down!
13:48Down!
13:49Okay!
13:50That went awesome!
13:52What do you know!
13:53Looks like my welds held up!
13:54And Dustin owes me a burrito!
13:58Okay!
13:59Down, down.
14:07Okay.
14:09That went awesome.
14:11What do you know?
14:12Looks like my weld's held up.
14:14And Dustin owes me a burrito.
14:18Okay.
14:21The next step for us is to pick the actual building up.
14:26So in order to do that, it's so wide and heavy,
14:31I bet it's close to 10,000 pounds.
14:34We're using two telehandlers to pick it up.
14:38And the margin for error here is razor thin.
14:42Whoa!
14:44You're gonna roll that way, you're gonna roll that way.
14:46If the machines aren't synced perfectly,
14:49if the weight shifts unevenly,
14:51that means splintering timbers, warped walls,
14:54or a building that'll never sit square again.
14:56How does it look?
14:57I look pretty good.
14:58Okay.
15:03Now we'll back in my trailer and turn this building
15:05into a temporary mobile home.
15:09Am I close?
15:10You're close.
15:14Touchdown!
15:16All right.
15:17So we should be just under our legal height.
15:20We're allowed 14.
15:23We're 12.8.
15:24We're gonna be real careful, go nice and slow.
15:26But she's stable, and we'll get her strapped down,
15:29and we're gonna head up the road.
15:3811 miles doesn't seem far,
15:40but when you're hauling a historic century-old structure
15:43that you've just sliced in half
15:45to the edge of the Wyoming border,
15:47you have to take things slow.
15:50How you feeling, Dustin?
15:52Really wide.
15:54Copy that.
15:55Yeah, we'll just ride the right lane the best we can
15:57and just take her easy.
16:03Thank goodness I'm not on granary moving day.
16:05That sounds really stressful.
16:07Instead, I'm focusing on the design features
16:09that'll help make Shelby's business stand out.
16:12I'm meeting with Tim, a local sign maker.
16:16I drive by a lot of Tim's signs every day.
16:19He would be the perfect person to make it for her
16:22because he makes everything in-house and is local
16:25and loves to do stuff around town,
16:27and that's exactly what she does.
16:36Hi.
16:37Hello.
16:38We spoke a little bit on the phone
16:39in regards to my client, Shelby Lund.
16:41We're making her a workshop
16:43and a storefront on her farm
16:45in order for her to sell soaps and candles
16:49and all sorts of things out of the milk from her goats.
16:53So what name will appear on the sign?
16:56Lund Valley Farm.
16:57So this is her current standing logo.
17:00Okay.
17:01Would you be interested in partaking in the production process?
17:04Absolutely, yes.
17:05I do paint, but I've never done something on this scale,
17:07so I'd love to learn something.
17:09That's good. Excellent.
17:10Lovely.
17:11All right.
17:12I think that's all I need to know.
17:13Okay.
17:14So you'll hear from me soon.
17:15Thank you. Bye.
17:17His shop is so horrible.
17:19So we made it off the interstate.
17:29I'm glad that portion is done,
17:31but now we're on the dirt road on the way to Shelby's house.
17:37Try not to take out any mailboxes either.
17:39Come right a little bit with the wheels.
17:51Slow is smooth.
17:52Smooth is fast.
17:54We're approaching Shelby's farm.
17:58Stop it right here, fellas.
18:02The next challenge is threading this wide load
18:04through Shelby's gate without damaging the gate
18:06or the granaries.
18:09So we're right at 19 wide.
18:13I'm 18 wide.
18:15Okay, so I'm 16,
18:16but we need to get the angle of our turn just right.
18:19If we come in too steep or too shallow,
18:22we're going to do some damage.
18:23The two things we're going to want to watch
18:25is this communications box right on the corner
18:27and the birdhouses.
18:28Those are her father made those birdhouses.
18:30Let's do it.
18:31Here I go.
18:35How's my front tire?
18:36You can go more.
18:40Okay, now turn it.
18:44It's tight.
18:48All right, buddy.
18:49You made it to the gate.
18:51That was the easy part.
18:52Now comes the nail-biter.
18:55I'm a little tighter than that.
18:56I think you are going to be tighter than that.
18:58The roof is two feet wider,
19:02so if Dustin drifts even a little bit,
19:05we might be in for some unplanned renovations.
19:08Hard left.
19:10Oh, you got to go that way a bunch.
19:15Yeah, I'm going to hit.
19:17Yeah, you're going to hit me.
19:18You can come this way a little bit.
19:19I have a cappy side of hair.
19:20Go real slow.
19:21Real, real slow.
19:22Jeez, look at this.
19:23This is how much space he's got.
19:25I'm good.
19:26I'm clear on my side.
19:28Well done, boys.
19:30Dude, six.
19:31Oh, I had six on my side.
19:34That's amazing.
19:35We made it through.
19:36Nothing touched.
19:37No bird houses, no gates, anything.
19:39Let's get it on the foundation.
19:42We have to pick up the building.
19:44I have to pull the trailer out from underneath it.
19:47And then we're going to get it on the ground.
19:48I'm good.
19:50I'm good.
19:51I'm clear on my side.
19:53Well done, boys.
19:55Dude, six.
19:56Oh, I had six on my side.
19:57That's amazing.
19:58We made it through.
19:59Nothing touched.
20:00No bird houses.
20:01No gates, anything.
20:02I have to pull the trailer out from underneath it.
20:05And Ruby has to extend while Dustin retracts
20:10and moves the building over and sets it down.
20:21Why don't you put a little pressure on it?
20:27So it's right at your tipping weight.
20:30I was watching your tires.
20:31I thought so.
20:32Yeah.
20:33So we'll be real careful with that.
20:35This makes me nervous.
20:38My rear wheels are barely touching the ground right now.
20:41Because when you're boomed out this far with 10,000 pounds,
20:46you can teeter easy.
20:48If the telehandler tips,
20:50not only will the granary get smashed,
20:53but we'll also crack the foundation it's sitting on
20:56and put the telehandler boom out of commission.
20:58Tipping is not encouraged.
21:00I don't like this.
21:06Okay, Ruby, you drive forward and Dustin start retracting.
21:15Okay, let's lower it.
21:17Okay, both at the same time.
21:19I wish I can tell you that she drops right into place,
21:22but the reality is it goes something like this.
21:25Still gotta go this way eight inches.
21:27Okay, why don't you back out.
21:28Go ahead and go up.
21:29So you're gonna retract and you're gonna extend.
21:31We're really close.
21:32That way.
21:33Okay, then you flop to that corner.
21:34Okay, you go down.
21:35That's a lot of mental gymnastics today.
21:36I'm gonna have you come to this corner.
21:38So close.
21:39You're gonna bump to that corner.
21:40Stand by.
21:41My brain hurts.
21:42Right?
21:43No problem.
21:44Okay.
21:45Retract.
21:48It's beautiful, boy.
21:49It's beautiful.
21:50And just like that.
21:51A hundred year old building.
21:52Brand new home.
21:57So the last piece of this puzzle is putting the lid back on our pot.
22:01But this is definitely a heavy, heavy lid.
22:05Shoo daddy.
22:07This is really hard to line up.
22:09Because it has to be square to the building and front and back, left and right.
22:13It's hard when everyone's tired.
22:14We've been up since four this morning.
22:16Just watch your fingers and your head.
22:19It's a big day.
22:22All right, we're down.
22:24Yotifo.
22:25Nice driving, amigo.
22:35So big day yesterday.
22:39We got the apothecary all the way down to Shelby's farm.
22:43Today we're kicking off the renovation, starting with stripping off the old exterior siding.
22:48A hundred plus years of South Dakota weather have really taken its toll.
22:52We're also removing the inside walls, but luckily that wood's in good shape.
22:56And Sprout wants to save it for shelf.
22:58I'm just excited that we can take this piece of history that has been around spearfish for so long
23:03and repurpose it into this thing for Shelby and Derek.
23:07Turns out I'm not the only one who had an eye for this old granary.
23:10Some neighbors are just as fired up about saving the slice of history
23:14and showed up to lend a hand.
23:16Morning, fellas.
23:18Clark and Jackson, thanks for coming.
23:19So we're going to go ahead and strip all the exterior siding off.
23:22Alex did want us to save two good boards from the outside for a project she's working on for Shelby.
23:27The inside, however, we want to repurpose all that big fat one-by into some shelves
23:32for Shelby's stuff.
23:33I'm going to go get some tools.
23:39All right.
23:42It's easy.
23:47Oh, this is going to be easy.
23:50We're going to be done by noon.
23:52You know, we grew up across the creek in Spearfish from this building.
23:55So it's really nice to be able to help Cappy Sprout give this another life.
24:02Very cool.
24:06While Dustin and David tackle the inside walls, Sprout checks on the condition of the boards and finds a surprise.
24:13Oh, my gosh.
24:16There's writing on here.
24:181906.
24:20So this board is over, like, 120 years old.
24:24Wow.
24:29It doesn't look like much now, but I can see the goat apothecary is shaping up to be something really special.
24:34Just give me a few more days.
24:49I've got an idea to make this build extra special for Shelby, but I need Derek's help.
24:54Hello.
24:55Hey, Alex.
24:56How are you?
24:57Doing good.
24:58How are you?
24:59Good.
25:00I was just wondering if I could get some pictures from you of Shelby and her dad.
25:04I'm hoping that I can sneak them in the project somewhere.
25:07Absolutely.
25:08Yeah, we have a ton of them I could round up.
25:10She'd love that.
25:11That'd be great.
25:12Awesome.
25:13Well, I don't want her to see me, so I should jet.
25:15All right.
25:17Thanks, Alex.
25:18I'm at the sign shop with Tim, and he has one more step that he wants some help with,
25:31so I'm excited to learn something new.
25:35Hello.
25:36Hi, Alex.
25:39Is this our sign?
25:40Here it is.
25:42It looks so good.
25:44So I enhanced some of it, made the letters a little bit bolder.
25:47Mm-hmm.
25:48I added full color on it.
25:49The edges of the letters are gilded in 23-carat gold leaf.
25:52Oh, wow.
25:53Which is what you're going to be doing on the ribbon.
25:55Oh, cool.
25:56You made a ribbon sign, too.
25:58I'm excited.
25:59Let's go over here, and I'll explain a little bit about gold leaf to you.
26:03Okay.
26:04I want you to hold this and rub it between your fingers.
26:06Oh, wow.
26:07It's so fragile.
26:08Do that.
26:09Just get a handful.
26:10Yeah.
26:11It's three millionths of an inch thick.
26:12It just disappears.
26:13Yeah, and then it's gone.
26:14All right.
26:15Now we're ready to start gilding, so why don't you bring your stool over?
26:18Okay.
26:19While Sprout's working on the artistic touches, I'm delivering a load of lumber so we can build
26:26the deck behind Shelby's new workshop.
26:28Hey, Gus.
26:29What's up, boys?
26:30I brought you some lumber.
26:31Hey.
26:32Good morning.
26:33Sweet.
26:34That's perfect timing.
26:35It's going to be the cutest little deck ever.
26:38First step to making a cute little deck, hauling some seriously heavy beams.
26:44Good thing my crew's got clever ideas, and a big piece of machinery that makes us look
26:49strong.
26:50One cube will get a tally, and we'll just slide it onto the tally.
26:52We can slide it onto the tally, too.
26:53I like that.
26:54This is a technique that's been used.
26:56The Egyptians used it.
26:57When you see all the artifacts, they're gilded in gold leaf.
27:00Oh, wow.
27:01This is the very same thing that we're doing right now.
27:04We're off and running, building the deck.
27:07When I pull this up, the gold will only stick to where I've got glue painted.
27:18So go ahead and pull a sheet off of there, and do just what I did, and lift your sheet
27:23up.
27:24Terrific.
27:25Very good.
27:26That's fabulous.
27:27Okay.
27:28Here's where Sprouts got me beat.
27:31She can handle both power tools and fine design detail.
27:36So I stick to what I know, making the pieces fit together.
27:39Because when it comes to the sparkle, that's all her.
27:43Terrific.
27:44I'm going to grab you another book, and we'll keep going.
27:46Only 11 more letters to go.
28:03Right there.
28:04So we just picked up our custom door that we had made for Shelby and Derek's project.
28:10Spray foam insulation's done, electricians are done, and siding gets delivered today.
28:15Yeah, here in the next day or so, we'll be ready for paint.
28:19But I don't want Shelby and Derek seeing our progress and spoiling the surprise.
28:23So I managed to convince them to spend a few days kicking back at our property at Shortgrass
28:28for a well-deserved getaway.
28:29Hey, chickens.
28:30Here.
28:31I have food.
28:32But Shelby would only leave her animals if Alex stepped in to take care of them.
28:45Building all sheeted up.
28:47Looking good.
28:48Oh, yeah.
28:49First item on the to-do list, install the door.
28:53This beauty comes with side lights, these skinny little windows on each side of the door,
28:58which will add a little extra light into the space.
29:02Oh, nice.
29:04So I like how it looks.
29:05I like it's a little wider, and then these aren't too overbearing.
29:09Like, they're nice clean glass.
29:10We didn't want to do any patterned glass.
29:12That is a sharp-looking door.
29:13I can see that sign now.
29:15London Valley Farm.
29:17Cool.
29:21Next step is siding.
29:23So we went with a traditional look.
29:26This stuff is tough as nails.
29:27It should have no problem standing up to our crazy South Dakota weather.
29:31This is actually 70% fly ash.
29:34It's basically a byproduct from the mining industry.
29:37So they take that, they mix it with a polymer glue, press it together, and this woodgrain texture
29:42is actually embossed in the wood.
29:44Now, it has a different finish on each side, but I don't know which side Sprout wants out.
29:53Hello?
29:55Quick question for you.
29:56The siding came this morning.
29:58Do you want a smooth side, or do you want a wood-textured side?
30:02I want wood-textured side out just because of, like, the overall aesthetic of the build.
30:08Cool.
30:09Let's do that.
30:10Bye.
30:11Love you.
30:12Love you.
30:13Hello.
30:14Hey, how are you, Sprout?
30:16Good.
30:17Nice to see you again.
30:18It's nice to see you again.
30:19I hear you got some boards for us.
30:20Yes.
30:21So I was hoping that we could turn them into some pieces I could use for some shelving.
30:25Oh, cool.
30:26Yeah, they're in good shape.
30:27There are a few with some nails in them.
30:29We'll get those pulled out, no problem.
30:30Okay.
30:31So are you wanting any of them cut or just surfaced?
30:34Just surfaced.
30:35Okay.
30:37Thank you so much.
30:38We'll let you know.
30:39So Ruby and I are working on siding the front of the apothecary building.
31:00When you install siding, if you're going to do it yourself, every three or four courses,
31:06throw a level on it and make sure you're not doing this.
31:10Because over the course of a 16-foot tall building, if you're off a sixteenth of an inch over that far,
31:17literally it starts to do this.
31:19And you get up to the top and your pieces are visibly slanted.
31:22It's not good.
31:23Well, we're looking good on that.
31:26Oh, there's Dustin.
31:28Yeah, I think let's back him right up to the deck.
31:35Dustin's worked his fair share of old floors, and today he brought all his tools to give Shelby's boards a proper facelift.
31:42I'm a one-man job, and I love it.
31:45We're sanding off a century's worth of grain and grime so this building can start a fresh chapter in its old story.
31:52I'm going to leave a little character in it.
31:59I'm not going to sand all the way, but it'll look really nice.
32:04It'll look fairly new.
32:07Oh, bro.
32:28Hey.
32:30Holy crap.
32:32That's just two cuts.
32:34That is bananas that that was what was underneath it.
32:38Oh, yeah.
32:39It's not even the same room.
32:40This is so cool, dude.
32:42You've been working hard, brother.
32:43Take a break before you finish up.
32:45Yep.
32:46Amazing.
32:56Oh, we got chip.
32:58Hmm.
33:04Is that good?
33:05You like chips, huh?
33:16I'm getting to the build site a little bit early to take care of Shelby's farm animals.
33:20Isn't that crazy?
33:21While Shelby and Derek have a little bit of relaxation time at Shortgrass.
33:25I have a long list of things I have to make sure are done.
33:28I need to feed the goats.
33:31Hello.
33:32Oh, my.
33:33No, that's not happening right now.
33:36Oh, that got on everyone's head.
33:42Make sure that they have enough water.
33:46Make sure the horses are brushed.
33:47Oh, hi.
33:48It sure is beautiful out here, but it smells a bit stronger than I thought it would.
34:01I need to feed the chickens.
34:05Hi.
34:06Oh, hi, ducks.
34:07And I need to let the puppies out.
34:09Oh, my gosh.
34:10Oh, my gosh.
34:11There's so many.
34:12Hi.
34:13Oh, my God.
34:14There's so many.
34:15Hi.
34:16Oh, my God.
34:19Feed Gus.
34:20There you go.
34:21Such a diva.
34:23But that's okay.
34:24Cappy is too.
34:26Y'all poop a lot.
34:28I promise.
34:29It's not food.
34:30Wow.
34:31I really have a new appreciation for what Shelby does every day.
34:34It's a lot of hard work.
34:37What?
34:39Time to finish transforming this granary into a one-of-a-kind workshop and bring Shelby
34:44back home where she belongs.
34:46The inside walls are getting a coat of whitewash, which will give them a classic French sort
34:51of farmhouse charm.
34:52Whoo.
34:53Smells like progress.
34:54Yeah.
34:55Oh, dude.
34:56That looks so good.
34:57Yeah.
34:58It brightens it up quite a bit.
34:59It does.
35:00Which is great.
35:01I think she's gonna love it.
35:02Awesome.
35:03Sweet.
35:04Thanks, dude.
35:05Appreciate it.
35:06No time.
35:07And David jumps right into the install of the custom shelves Sprout designed.
35:13So Alex wanted to put shelves in here from the salvaged wall we took out.
35:23She took them, cleaned them up, finished them, brought them back, and she wants me to
35:28install them in here.
35:35She has great vision.
35:37Shelby said that the temperature is extra important for making her products.
35:41So we're also installing a wood-burning boiler that'll pump warm water through the radiators
35:46in the apothecary during the snowy winter months.
35:49Real slow.
35:50Okay?
35:51Perfect.
35:52They already burned wood on the property.
35:54They have wood stoves.
35:55This is just an easy transition to have a high-tech unit that they can feed once a day,
36:01that'll keep consistent heat in Shelby's workspace and her shop.
36:04This is gonna be a game changer for them.
36:08Now for the last piece of the puzzle.
36:14Shelby told us that her dad was the inspiration behind starting this farm and her business.
36:19So we need to make a cut here, chop this guy off.
36:25I know how strong that bond can be.
36:28Since her dad is no longer here, I wanted to turn this old exterior siding into a special
36:36surprise for Shelby.
36:37To honor him and to keep his spirit close.
36:41Okay.
36:42Let's go, puppy!
36:44It's a gorgeous day in our little corner of South Dakota.
36:59And after getting all the final bits and pieces into place, it's time to bring Shelby and Derek
37:04back to the space that we've poured all our love into.
37:08I'm so excited.
37:09It looks so good in here.
37:11I think you knocked it out of the park on this one.
37:13This is very cool.
37:14Thanks.
37:15Awesome.
37:16I think I hear their truck.
37:17All right.
37:18Well, I'm ready if you're good to go and get Miss Shelby and Derek.
37:21I will.
37:22Thanks, Kendall.
37:25All right.
37:26No peeking.
37:27Just keep your eyes down.
37:29Perfect.
37:30So excited.
37:32Can't hardly take it.
37:34Okay.
37:35How are we feeling?
37:36Anxious.
37:37Nervous.
37:38Yeah.
37:39So excited.
37:40Kind of like I'm going to throw up.
37:41I'm so excited.
37:42Well, don't do that.
37:43There's no throwing up.
37:44All right.
37:45Should we put them out of their misery and let them turn around and see?
37:46Yes.
37:47Okay.
37:48In three, two, one.
37:49Oh my God.
37:50Wow.
37:51Wow.
37:52That is so beautiful.
37:53Oh my God.
37:54That is awesome.
37:56That looks so good, guys.
37:57Oh.
37:57Yeah.
37:58So the building itself had a former life.
37:59We found writing inside the building.
38:00Oh, we found writing inside the building.
38:02Oh, yeah.
38:03Oh, that's so good.
38:04Oh, I'm so excited about that.
38:05Oh.
38:06Oh, my God.
38:07Oh, my God.
38:08Oh, my God.
38:09Oh, that's so beautiful.
38:10Oh, oh, my God.
38:11Oh, my God.
38:12Oh, my God.
38:13Oh, my God.
38:14Oh, God.
38:14Oh, my God.
38:15Oh, my God.
38:16Thanks.
38:17Oh, God.
38:17building from 1906 on some of the boards inside so it's 120 years old it was a
38:22granary and it was part of a farm on the west side of spearfish so we ended up
38:27moving it down the road and then we set her down on its new home awesome it's
38:31so heartwarming that the history of spearfish is still gonna continue on on
38:37our property where did you get the sign I worked with a sign maker in town and
38:43we worked with the original design on the soaps and all of your products so it
38:48still has that same look yeah it's perfect this sign that's on the building
38:52is bigger and so eye-catching compared to the sign that I have it's definitely a
39:01scale up yeah pops a little yeah all right would you like to head inside yes
39:06we go for it after you it's all you oh my gosh here we go oh my god it's

39:53things I noticed was a picture of my dad and I don't want to cry but yeah it was
40:00beautiful that's a great picture I actually made that frame from the
40:07original siding on the building it's just a little surprise for you both I
40:10really wanted the inside to feel like an elegant antique and so in order to do
40:16that we left most of the original wall so these are the real like interior laws
40:21that we just whitewashed and then in terms of separation it's not like a rope
40:29that says don't come past you this is for employees only but it's a visual
40:34separation from the storefront to the workshop yeah it's just so perfect we
40:40had the floors refinished we put in an air conditioner and we also installed an
40:45exterior wood boiler so you have hydronic heat in here to keep everything nice and
40:50warm in the wintertime so amazing yeah there's a lot of steps involved to take it
40:55from the the original granary and turn it into this goat apothecary the goat apothecary perfect
41:03yeah it is amazing well to say thank you and for something special sprout I made you your own goat
41:11soap yes sprouts goat soap and that's gonna be your original one for Lund Valley farm oh I love it

42:07amazing in this building every board every shelf it all has a story and it's part of our history here
42:17and so we just get to add on to that chapter and continue and make new memories and it's gonna be
42:24wonderful I'll hand over a soap and you have to figure out what the scent is
