Mark and the crew work to dismantle a barn built by Abe Lincoln's uncle; old tobacco timbers are used to build a new barn in the Appalachian dogtrot style.
In St. Meinrad, Ind., the guys rescue a huge double-pen barn with pioneer-era, hand-hewn beams; Mark pays a visit to the nearly completed Lincoln Cabin.
The guys take down a Pennsylvania Bank Barn in hopes of recovering the long beams and huge sleeper logs.
The guys reclaim a 170-year-old corn crib filled with antique treasures, then they take the structure back to Lewisburg, W. Va., to be erected in an old-fashioned barn raising.
Mark and the guys transport a log home to Florida where they turn it into a hunting lodge; Mark makes mouth-blown glass for the windows and he dives into an alligator pond to get some long-leaf pine for the floors.
Mark and the crew use welding tools to turn a shipping container into a portable barn-wood cabin, then they load it onto a trailer.
