“It’s a big day for me!” she says as Cameron sets her up with the miter saw. She then smiles wide as she delivers her best pun: “My family never would havesawthis coming.”
After making a successful cut with the help of Cameron, Alaina steps back to admire her handiwork. “Did I do it? That was so easy,” she exclaims. “I don’t know if I thought it was gonna go flying, or what I thought was gonna happen.”
She adds jokingly, “I don’t even know why you have other people help you.”
Alaina then tells the camera, “I’m cutting wood, I’m like a professional,” kissing her bicep and adding, “Y’all don’t even know about my skills. Jason’s gonna hire me. I’m gonna be busy this summer.”
