Ep 5. Rain, Rain, Go Away

In Building Alaska season 6 episode 5, titled "Rain, Rain, Go Away," the builders face a major setback as the weather takes a turn for the worse. The rain doesn't stop for days, causing the builders to fall behind schedule and make critical mistakes.

One of the team members, Chris, struggles to keep his spirits up as he faces one challenge after another. He must repair a leak in his roof, but the constant downpour makes it nearly impossible. With water pooling in his work area, he is forced to improvise and come up with a new plan.

Meanwhile, expert carpenter Mark and his team continue their work on a massive log home. The team attempts to lift a giant, 30-foot ridge beam into place, but the slippery conditions make it extremely dangerous. Mark must carefully guide the crane operator as he places the beam, making sure it doesn't come crashing down on his team.

Over at the site of a stunning mountain home, builders Adam and Mike are dealing with their own weather-related drama. The rain has caused a landslide and blocked their access road, preventing any supplies from being delivered to their remote location. They are forced to use a helicopter to transport materials and tools, adding extra time and expense to their already-tight schedule.

Despite the challenges, all of the teams remain determined to complete their projects on time. They work tirelessly through the rain and mud, and finally, the weather clears up, allowing them to make significant progress.

As the episode concludes, the builders reflect on the value of perseverance and hard work, knowing that despite the obstacles, they will emerge with beautiful, functional homes that will last for generations.
