Ep 5. Trash to Treasure

In season 2 episode 5 of Redwood Kings, titled "Trash to Treasure," the team at Spirit Garden Designs takes on a unique challenge as they seek to transform an old garbage truck into a mobile art gallery. The truck, which has seen better days, is in need of major repairs and a total overhaul before it can serve its new purpose as a showcase for local artists.

The crew begins by stripping the truck down to its bare bones, removing all of the old garbage equipment and fittings. With the truck cleared out, they set to work building a custom interior that will serve as a blank canvas for the artists who will display their work inside. The team gets creative with the space, adding glass display cases and built-in shelves to maximize the storage and showcase potential of the truck.

One of the major challenges of the project is incorporating the truck's original features into the new design. The team decides to integrate the front of the truck into the interior of the gallery, creating a unique and interactive space for visitors. They also preserve the original hydraulics system, which will allow the roof of the gallery to lift up and provide better visibility for large art installations.

As they work, tensions rise between the team members. The pressure of the project and the tight timeline put everyone on edge, and disagreements arise over design decisions and management of the project. At one point, it seems as though the project might not be completed on time. But ultimately, the team puts aside their differences and pulls together to finish the gallery in time for its debut at a local art festival.

The finished truck-turned-gallery is a stunning example of the team's creativity and determination. The open-concept interior is filled with art and light, and the unique design incorporates the truck's original features while also creating a new and exciting space. Visitors to the gallery are wowed by the transformation, and the team is proud of their accomplishment.

Throughout the episode, viewers get a behind-the-scenes look at the design and construction process, as well as the challenges and rewards of working on a project as a team. The Redwood Kings team always brings their A-game to each project they tackle, and "Trash to Treasure" is no exception.
