Your kitchen is worn to
Now, an awful lot of your windows
are cracked from the storms,
your gutters and some of the
decorative features have dry rot
and some of your floorboards
will have lo be replaced.
Is that all?
Uh... once your repairs are
completed, you're gonna have to
repaint the exterior and refinish
the interior, and that has to be done
in a way that preserves the
historical character of the lodge.
So what's the bottom line?
In drawing up the
estimate, we try to find
the most cost effective solutions.
And...
$1.8 to $2 million.
Ha!!!!!! Wow. I don't
have that kinda money.
Don't worry cuz that's,
that's where I come in.
Now all these documents are necessary
to apply to my company's
board for funding.
Now, my boss and I, we're
gonna have to push hard
to get them to take on a
project outside of the city,
but I really feel like
they will come around
when they realize the
history that's gonna be saved
in renovating Christmas Lodge.
That's a lot of paper.
It is, but don't worry, I'll go through
it with you tomorrow page by page,
while Dad and they boys
work to stabilize the lodge.
So what do you say?
Now, if we do this, is there a chance
that we could be open by Christmas?
Well, where there's a
will there's a way, right?
- Let's do it.
- Great!
Well, I don't know about you kids,
a rest. Good night, Jack.
- Good night Dad.
- Good night Jack.
Good night Mary.
Good night everyone.
So, what's the plan for today?
Well, I looked over the list of
repairs and circled the problem areas
that are posing an immediate threat
or any damage to the exterior
that's letting the weather in.
I'll make some temporary
fixes to stabilize the lodge
so it won't get any worse
by the time the contractors
you hired get up here.
I appreciate it.
Morning.
- Morning!
- How'd you sleep?
Great!
She kept you up talking, didn't she?
Uh, that's kind of the whole point
of a slumber party, right Charlene?
Yeah.
Well, we'd better get started on the
paperwork, it's gonna take a couple hours.
Yup. Been warming up all morning.
Well we should get at it.
Last one!
My hand is less sore from
swinging an axe all day.
Not bad for $2 million.
No, it's not bad at all.
I can't tell you how great
it was having you all up here.
When you think you're gonna
make it back this way again?
Oh, you know what? I come up
camping all the time in the summer.
I'll be sure to swing by next time.
Oh, can you take me with you?
Charlene!
Of course. If it's okay with your dad.
Oh yeah, it's okay with her dad. With all this
work around here I don't get out on the trail
as much as I'd like to. Yeah,
Charlene probably deserves a break.
Well' all right then. I'll call you.
You don't need to, family
can drop by any time.
Oh, thank you. All
right, you two take care.
You like Mary, don't you?
What? Where do you
come up with this stuff?
Come on! She's likes you too.
What did she tell you?
No, but I can tell. I like
Mary, Dad. I like her a lot.
Bob, hi! So, what did the board say?
They're willing to give us half
the funding, but that's all.
We'll have to find the
other half somewhere else.
I am grateful but it's gonna take
too long to find outside funding.
Too long for what?
For Christmas Lodge, for my grandfather.
Look, time is not on their side.
Can I talk to the chairman?
I'm sorry Mary, but he's
ready to call it a night.
Bob, please.
Thank you.
Excuse me, Thomas.
What is it?
Mary Tobin would like to say a few words
in favor of the Christmas Lodge project.
We just spent a whole day on it-.
Please, I'm sure that Bob did a
superb job on presenting the facts
but I would like to let you know
about the faces behind those facts.
not just a restoration project,
it's a labor of love. My family...
Mary, we all understand your family
has a long history with the lodge,
and we took it into consideration
when we granted you partial funding.
If we give you any more
funding we'll break the budget.
But half is as good as none.
I mean, Christmas
Lodge is disintegrating,
and it might hit the point of no return
if the roof gives in this winter.
I'm sorry Mary.
Mary...
you did your best.
Yeah, try telling that
to Jack and Charlene...
and my grandfather.
Thanks Bob.
I talked to the chairman,
and after all that work,
all the work you and the boys
did, all that paperwork...
Mary?
Grandpa! Hey.
How's the lodge coming?
Well it's... not as good as I had hoped.
What's wrong?
Oh, Grandpa I don't want to trouble you.
You're not troubling me! I...
I may be stuck in this bed, but
I'm still part of this world.
Well, you know, we have
enough funding for the supplies
but we're still praying
for money for a crew.
Didn't I give a construction
company to a crew
who could get the job
done right and on time?
The boys and I are
booked through New Years.
With what?
- Odds and ends.
- Well cancel them!
We can't! We have a
responsibility to our customers.
There are plenty of crews
looking for work around here,
there are very few contractors
up in the mountains.
You give the odds and ends
to the city contractors
and go and help Jack Rand!
Now Dad, I wish it was that
easy. We all have bills to pay,
to go work on the lodge?
Me.
You?
You tell me what you need to get the
job done and I'll write the check.
I don't know, Dad. None
of this seems right.
Letting Christmas Lodge
turn to dust doesn't either.
Our family took a lot from
the lodge over the years,
it's time to give back. I...
I want this to be my legacy,
and your inheritance. What do you say?
I'm sorry, but no.
Let me describe it another way.
I remember a tale of a carpenter
that would not turn down this job
regardless of money or convenience.
Who?
He was a man from Galilee, who
as his highest calling.
Now, when you consider
helping Jack who has the
greatest need right now
with no help in sight, or
your other responsibilities,
you might well ask yourself,
With his guidance, I really believe
you'll make the right decision.
You know I can't argue with scripture.
Then don't! Do the
right thing, help Jack.
You always get me, don't you?
It's not me.
It's the Lord's lessons I live
by that put us on the right path.
You tell me what you want from me
and the boys, and we'll be there.
Really?
Yeah.
Thank you Dad.
- You're welcome.
And thank you, Grandpa.
You never let me down.
That's because you
never let me down, kid.
You know, if they keep up this
pace we might be done by Christmas.
Really, you think so?
It'll go even faster if we help them.
How?
Come on, follow Pete.
All right, so you take the sand block,
watch your fingers, and you wanna
work with the grain of the wood.
- Okay? Look.
