Ep 5. Go Big or Go Home

The show Barnwood Builders follows a group of craftspeople who specialize in salvaging and repurposing old barns. In season 8 episode 5, titled "Go Big or Go Home," the team takes on their most challenging project yet.

The episode starts with the team receiving a call from a homeowner who has a unique request. He wants them to build a massive 3-story treehouse using salvaged barnwood. The catch? He wants the treehouse to be 40 feet above the ground and have a 30-foot slide that starts at the top and ends at the bottom.

The team, led by Mark Bowe, is excited to take on the project, but they know it will be no easy feat. They set to work salvaging the perfect wood from old barns and prepping it for use in the treehouse.

As they start building, they realize just how big the project is. They have to erect massive support beams to hold the weight of the treehouse and make sure it can withstand the wind and weather. They also have to make sure the treehouse is safe for the kids who will be playing on it.

Despite the challenges, the team is determined to make the treehouse a success. They use their expert skills to create unique features, like a trapdoor and a rope bridge, that will make the treehouse even more fun and adventurous.

As the project nears completion, the team reflects on the challenges they faced and what they learned. They realize that this was one of their most ambitious projects yet, but they're proud of what they've accomplished.

In the end, the homeowner is thrilled with his new treehouse, and the team is proud of what they've built. "Go Big or Go Home" showcases the Barnwood Builders' dedication and expertise in salvaging and repurposing old wood to create unique, beautiful structures.
