What happens here
The host points out that one of the sawmill's stabilizing jacks was damaged during transport. He retrieves a new jack from the back of his flatbed dump truck ('Tater'). He also gets a Husqvarna Power Axe chainsaw, carriage bolts, and a Flex Tools impact driver, anticipating needing them. He then attempts to attach the new jack to the sawmill frame. After the initial attempt, he realizes the carriage bolts he bought are too short and needs longer ones to properly secure the jack. He briefly shows that he will need to return home for the correct size.
Goal: Replace the broken stabilizing jack on the sawmill
