Hello Kristie My grandad, “papa” bought the lot and built this home. I spent every summer here growing up and have many happy memories. My grandmother passed away some time ago but papa is still with us. My mom helped him get to see this. He was so very thankful it belongs to someone who will restore the home and bring it back to life. A very heartfelt thank you from me as well.
Jason. I was sooo pleased to read that your Papa has been able to see this restoration. Time weathers everything including we humans too. What a joy it must be for him to know that someone has taken the time and used their expertise to continue what was once his own place of tranquillity. God Bless both your Papa, and Kristie Wolfe.
Kirsten, I'm in Love with this "Shipwreck", as well as All of Kristie's work. There is only one thing .... Too Short. I could have watched this for hours. Please promise to bring us back for a part two, when it is more finished. Big Thanks to Kristie for the content and time she afforded for this video. Another Big Thanks to You and Mr Dirksen for your photography ability and time, as well as your very adequate editing skills. This Wreck made my Heart and face Smile.
@@Kristiemaewolfe Get yourself a TH-cam channel already, you can see there's high demand in the comments (could help pay for swim lessons, also in demand!).
Literally the most glamorous laid back builder in the history of glamorous laid back builders. One of the best videos I've seen on YT in ages, props to Kirsten for capturing, and of course, Kirstie, and mum and sis, what a team! Follow all of Kirstie's projects and this one is a beast... huge project, super cool and looks to have been executed perfectly, massive respect. Can't wait to see the next one.
So much to love about this story Kirsten. The location is breathtaking. I love that she chose to save and rehab the home rather than tear it down and put in something modern which would be out of character for the landscape. How she took the time to salvage and repurpose things. I also loved seeing this family of women doing the work rather than contracting it out. I will definitely check out the links you provided to other projects she's done. Her energy and can-do attitude and determination was infectious.
Kristie is such an artist in everything she takes on. She goes ALL OUT!!! There are just not very many "unique" properties like that, that are "grandfathered". Most gov't lakes have large setbacks. So BRAVO Kristie, for finding this! AND thank YOU, Kristen for bringing it to us!
I am absolutely obsessed with Kristie, I’ve been binging any video of hers I can find for hours now. It amazes me what she can do and does. She is extremely talented, brilliant minded and a great personality, she seems very humble, frugal and not full of herself! I wish I had even an 1/8 of her talent and skills!
I watched Kristie on her other projects. What an amazing eye she has for all things repurposed, eclectic, forward thinking. She's fearless. I really admire who she is & what she's able to do. Thanks Kirsten, for all you do, as well.
I love the way you present your videos and leave the majority of the talking to the owners, really get some good information. This is such an interesting home and a credit to the owner’s skill and determination! Amazing video
This girl is incredible! She has the eye for architecture, design and repurpose stuff. This is the second vid that I have seen with Kristie. Great vid Kirsten, loved the Shipwreck.
Hi Kirsten. Thanks to you this wonderful restoration has been recorded and the sheer brilliance of Kristie Wolfe has been recognised and acknowledged. I say well done to her for the refit and re design of this awesomely located property. P.S. If anyone who lives near Kristie knows how to teach her how to swim, Then Please Please approach her to offer her the help to learn how to. purely from a safety standpoint. But also so that she can feel more confident on and around the water. I'm in Coastal Western Australia, so being able to swim and surf etc... is a way of life here.If I were there I'd offer to teach her myself, otherwise.
@@drinkingpoolwater the work she does is beyond inspiring, ill always watch the walkthrough of any property she touches. But, yeah, no arguments, shes as gorgeous as her restorations
Great project, the original owners would be proud that she is refurbishing their once loved wrecked house...a follow up video when finished would be very interesting, also that lake and view are priceless 👌❤👍
I get it! I was raised cruising the Great Lakes on my parents yacht and have owned boats…but I can’t swim for the life of me. I sink like a rock. It doesn’t stop me from boating! Absolutely incredible Kristie; every time I watch this I see something new. You are unbelievable!
Kirsten, this is inspirational. Very grateful for your documenting the wonderful undertakings of Kristie Wolfe and so many other creative and daring DYI builds.
As always, another fabulous video, the view is worth whatever price she paid, love that she reclaimed all the wood she could, most people would have took wood to a dump,to much waste, with lumber prices , out of reason.
I would love to see this place again, completed.I love this area, great night skies, the camping across the lake is lovely and that very cold lake, even in July, is a great recreational resource! Love to see the Pirate Ship being renovated - wonderful!
Wolfe is total amazeballs! I don't know about construction, but she seems to work so fast and efficiently! I guess it's like she said, she doesn't wait around and subcontract stuff out. Can you imagine how long she would have had to wait for those giant windows? I cant. probably months and months. I love her design aesthetic: functional and practical but still with a flair for the dramatic, a touch of whimsy, and even glamour.
I'll say it: Beautiful location - Beautiful view, what's not to like. Hell, a pup tent and a outhouse would be a winner there, but am confident by the time Kristie is done it will more than compliment such an ideal spot.
Just discovered Kristie on TH-cam, she is soo talented. I didn’t like them mixing cement without a mask, but she works hard. She needs a show on HGTV, instead of those older shows that have gotten boring.
Wow, this woman always amazes me! The projects she takes on are so incredible! What she's done so far is great! You go girl (or I should say woman)!👏💞😀🇨🇦
I love Kristie's work and energy so much, the uniqueness of the properties she helps bring out and shine, as well as the attention to detail and the dedication to reusing and locally sourcing is very admirable. She is the perfect steward of the land she acquires. Cant wait to she her finish this property and can't wait to see her next!
That young lady is a pure genius at what she does.She has an eye for what could be and a flair with imagination. Then she does what she needs to to make it happen. She learns stuff in order to make the project happen. She's not letting any adversity get her down. This one is gonna take her awhile though. That structure has so many levels that she is completely remodeling. Up to and including moving the kitchen from one floor to the one above. And she's as frugal as she can be about the whole process. When that is finished a few years from now it's gonna be awesome.
@@greenwave819 HAHAHAHA, good luck with that. I love that women are striving for empowerment in the modern day, but too many pathologically independent that can't commit.
From an early age, I learned "access, access, access". To build/renovate need accessability to get things in and out. Watching you go down the steps to bottom level reminded me AAA!
Creativity, determination, and elbow grease is what it takes to do this job! This woman has it going on and her family looks to be backing her all the way! Great build and great penny pinching ideas! 👍 😉
You and your family do great work. Many thanks for the hours of travel and architecture you have delivered to me. Kristie is my favorite. She is so creative. The barn venue was awesome. I wish I was her brother. I always wondered how much of her own work she did. Now I’m even more impressed. How do we go stay in one of her creations? I am curious about her business model. Sometime it would be nice to hear her business model challenges. You ladies really know how to live life. Tranquility is order of the mind and you two are a good combo. Peace be upon you sweet ladies.
How cool are the mural-sized 'paintings' inside!!! My first impression of the house was 'cheezeball' but became blown away by it's quirkiness and the ideas that Kristie has put into her design. Making those windows from scratch was the master-stroke.
From Hawaii's swing bed, tower in the jungle, hobbit house, giant potato suite to this, there's nothing Kristie can not tackle. Thank you Kirsten for showcasing wonderful inspiring talents and places. I'm a long-time fan of your channel. Great work!
This is so cool! I had a great uncle who built his cottage to look like a ship. My great aunt and uncle “christened” it Ship to Shore. It was renamed and extended after a fire, long before I was born. My siblings and cousins all knew it as the Boat House. It’s really fun to see that there are other people who have the same idea of building a boat/ship next to a lake. :)
@@Kristiemaewolfe Kristie, it's so exciting to see you at work again! This is a beautiful project, and the love you and your family are lavishing on it will be felt by everyone who visits. 💛🚢 💛
GIRL YOU ARE A BEAST!! I LOVE THE FACT THAT THEY BUILT A BOAT HOUSE AND YOU USED AS MUCH OF THE HOUSE TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER!! WONDERFUL JOB!! #GIRLPOWER 💪🏽👷🏽♀️💅🏾
Kirsten, thank you for the videos about Kristie Wolfe´s work- her own videos are useless, confused and fragmented. You give us a clear, coherent view of her incredible work....

What a great story. Being a 4th generation Idahoan, it’s nice to see a piece of our history that now continues to make even more.
What a cool story. And wonderful memories.
awesome, thanks for your comment, i bet it looked lovely in its heyday
Jason. I was sooo pleased to read that your Papa has been able to see this restoration. Time weathers everything including we humans too. What a joy it must be for him to know that someone has taken the time and used their expertise to continue what was once his own place of tranquillity. God Bless both your Papa, and Kristie Wolfe.
I hope someone will take your papa to see the finished site in person 👍🥰
OMG! This woman is a BADASS. Seriously so inspiring and not to mention gorgeous! Good for her !!!

shes an artist for paying people to do work?? i dont understand how buying propertie or paying people to restore them could be a talent.
@@frangalvez6987 sure... no talent or artistry on show here at all. Jeez, comments like this are the worst part of the internet.
What an interesting and fabulous idea! Please 🙏🏻 go back and film when she is done as I would love to see the finished build!
Cheers

Doing it yourself makes the finished product so much more appreciated and a life long story...
love your coverage of Kristie's passion projects through the years. Bravo!
WOW! What a view. It's alot of work but so worth it.
I love that woman and all the projects she manage to pull out, you can see how happy she gets with every single success

Fantastic rebuild I’m very impressed and it’s not finished yet
Not only does she envision these creative projects, she also does most of it herself 👌 You can tell that she really loves what she's doing.
Saw Kristie Wolfe and clicked so fast!
Haha
me too lol. she is such a babe.
@@drinkingpoolwater the work she does is beyond inspiring, ill always watch the walkthrough of any property she touches. But, yeah, no arguments, shes as gorgeous as her restorations
Lol hell yea !! Lord aint she just gorgeous and amazing !!!!
She finds and makes the most creative properties
Who ever married this woman struck gold….. amazing lady…. So talented. I love the 70’s scenery paintings!
I love Kristie's work. This and the fire lookout are my favorites so far. Thanks for another great video!
Kristie is an amazing woman. I love her creativity and style. Along with her ability to make the old fabulous.
Fascinating project and beautiful scenery for a handmade dreamboat of a shipwreck. Thank you for sharing this.
Great project, the original owners would be proud that she is refurbishing their once loved wrecked house...a follow up video when finished would be very interesting, also that lake and view are priceless 👌❤👍
I really hope I can find someone related to the original builders
@@Kristiemaewolfe ...and also give yourself a big pat on the back you've done a mighty good job so far...but please take a few swimming lessons 😀
My gosh, what a lovely view!

Every episode with Kristie is amazing. Some of the coolest homes on the entire channel.
Great to see Kristie again. Her vision and dedication to the style and craft of these places is always so amazing!

Exactly, a tent in a gorgeous location is better then a mansion in a bad location.
How very special this house is. A lot of work completed beautifully.
Just discovered Kristie on TH-cam, she is soo talented. I didn’t like them mixing cement without a mask, but she works hard. She needs a show on HGTV, instead of those older shows that have gotten boring.
Good on her and her perspectives and skills. What fun!
One of the coolest houses on this channel ever
Kristie is Awesome! Another magnificient property! 👍🏻❤️🍻
A GENIUS! That's what and who you are Ms. Kristie Wolfe!

Stunning house! Great job renovating it as well,can’t wait to see it finished 😁🤙🏽
What an interesting lake house. So glad you can save it and enjoy it for years to come.
Great story Kirsten.
Loved it a lot
Wow this lady knows her stuff Congratulations on your new home the shipwreck 🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏
I just love meeting a woman whose can do attitude manifests itself in a work of art like this.
Wow she is a rare breed😲❤️ so inspiring!!! Out of this world.
I have seen all her projects and I believe her when she says she loves it.. when it comes to taking on a challenge, she has a vision and does it!
That view is just magnificent. Amazing property.
Congrats on all your well-deserved success Kirsten!! All the best to you and your family, and safe travels!.. A fan from Toronto.
Bad ass woman, great to see her fearlessly take on such a project. Will be cool when it's finished 🏞
Great video. I love all of Kristie's projects. She is an inspiration!

You have done an excellent job thus far Kristie.

She is so creative!
