Todd and his wife, Rebecca, face challenges when a windstorm blocks the road; architect Monty Wood and designer Ami McKay begin laying the foundation for the high-tech A-frame.
Watch a sweltering heat dome settle over the A-frame as road upgrades begin.
Button up for the winter before delays and an atmospheric river wreak havoc.
Celebrate the A-frame's progress on Todd's 50th birthday as the Talbots vow to learn from last summer's disasters. Watch the home's space-age insulation go in before Todd realizes that no contractor is willing to take on his ultra-steep roof.
Witness a miracle as a social media callout nets a roofer who can handle the steep angle. Get a shock when the special, made-in-Poland windows won't fit down the drive, then feel the satisfaction when everything comes together before winter arrives.
Buzz around as the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems go in, and marvel at the home's passive powers. Reflect on the beauty of a job well done (and on the importance of working with the right people) as the final design comes together.
Do an insulation deep-dive with Todd and see if the Eh Frame passes a critical airflow test before its final inspection. Join the Talbots for a night of camping in front of the nearly finished cottage before a fast-moving wildfire changes everything.
Experiencing heartbreak when the Talbots' almost-finished Eh Frame is burned to the ground by an out-of-control wildfire; taking stock with Todd and Rebecca as they try to imagine a new way forward in British Columbia's rapidly changing climate.
