Junk Raiders

The second experiment for the Junk Raiders crew is epic: to build a two-story, fully permitted clubhouse in one month out of a shipping container and any materials they can salvage from the streets of Toronto, with only $5,000 in funds.

Geoff outlines the team's progress and the main goals he would like to see them achieve, including working on the wind turbine, the furniture, the welding, and the movable wall. Structural steel and windows are hard to come by.

The client's feedback forces Andy to rethink his design for the windows. Gordie must freecycle 80 stainless steel sinks, among other materials. The rest of the crew focuses on the door opener, safety railing, welding, and the furniture.

It is day 11, and Geoff wants to get 80 to 90 percent of the individual projects completed in the next six days in time to transport the containers for assembly at Evergreen Brick Works. In the war room Geoff lays down some troubling news.

With a lot of work to accomplish in a small amount of time, not to mention the firefly aspect of the project that has not been attended to, the team must improvise to stay on course. Geoff must now rely on Gordie's freecycling skills.

After watching the containers transported to Evergreen Brick Works, there is no room for error enroute to completing the project, which includes hoisting both containers onto their structural supports. Will the team meet the challenge?
