It just seemed like something they had to do. There was a lot of exterior work that had to be done. They replaced about 10 or 15 percent of the hull, and then they came inside and gutted it back to the studs so that they could reinsulate with all new wiring and all new plumbing and, of course, a whole new interior. Jason says he and Cayley put their hearts and souls into the project, summing it up as a good union with their professional backgrounds combined.
