Friday

Brothers Andrew and Kevin have made a resolution to live healthier, more active lifestyles and decide that this weekend at the lake is as good a time to start as any. Their biggest huddle is the lack of proper exercise equipment at their cottage property. Rather than discouraging the bros, this spurs the creation of the Ultimate Outdoor Gym – a collection of one-of-a-kind rustic fitness gear that’ll perfectly suit their backwoods surroundings.

It’s going to be a high stakes weekend up as brothers Kevin and Andrew, along with their engineer pal Walker, are going all in and turning their quaint family retreat into the Cottage Casino. But a gambling den would never pass the “Mom Test” so it’ll need to be discreetly hidden away until their high-roller friends come calling. To accomplish this sleight-of-hand, the boys are converting their parents’ furniture and knick-knacks into cleverly-disguised custom poker tables, craps tables, beer dispensers, cigar humidors and much more. It’s time to ante up: with jokers as wild as these guys, you can bet this is one Brojects you don’t want to miss.
