Ep 6. In The Nick Of Time

In The Nick Of Time is the sixth episode of the seventh season of the popular DIY Network show Barnwood Builders. The show follows the five-man crew of handymen who travel across the country to salvage antique barns and cabins, repurpose the wood, and turn them into stunning, modern homes and structures.

In this episode, the team travels to Woodbury, Connecticut to dismantle a barn that was built in the 1790s. The structure has been used as a storage shed for over 100 years and is in dire need of repair. The crew includes Mark Bowe, the lead builder and CEO of Antique Cabins and Barns, Johnny Jett, Tim Rose, Graham Ferguson, and Alex Webb.

As they arrive at the job site, the crew encounters several challenges. The barn is situated on a hill, making it difficult to access, and the structure is in disrepair with a collapsing roof. The team has only a limited time to dismantle the entire barn before the structure is deemed unsafe and must be demolished.

As they begin the demolition process, the team discovers that the structure is full of surprises. The old barn’s original builder was one of the first settlers in the area, and it was built using hand-hewn beams and traditional peg and mortise joints. The team works tirelessly to preserve as many of the original beams as possible.

Despite the challenges, the team works efficiently to bring down the barn and collect all the materials. They manage to finish the work in time and get the wood and other salvage materials back to their shop. The process of removing the nails and prepping the wood for use is long and time-consuming, but the team is committed to repurposing as much of the wood as possible in order to preserve a piece of American history.

The highlight of the episode is seeing the stunning transformation of the old, dilapidated barn into a new, modern home. The Barnwood Builders team uses the salvaged wood from the demolished barn to create a new home that honors the history and craftsmanship of the original structure. The sleek finishes and modern amenities highlight the contrast between the old and new.

In The Nick Of Time is a great episode for die-hard fans of Barnwood Builders or those interested in the architectural history and significance of barns. The episode showcases the crew’s expert knowledge and the challenges they face while preserving pieces of American history. It’s also a great reminder that with creativity and hard work, almost anything can be repurposed and given a new life.
