Maine Cabin Masters is a television show that showcases a team of expert builders and renovators as they overhaul old and dilapidated cabins in Maine. The show follows Chase Morrill and his family as they work to preserve the rustic charm of these structures while bringing them up to modern standards.
In season 2 episode 7 of Maine Cabin Masters, the team tackles what seems to be an impossible task - renovating an old oyster farm shack that has been sitting unused on a tidal river for over 50 years. The shack has no electricity, no plumbing, and has been untouched for so long that it is now a home for a colony of raccoons.
The team, consisting of Chase Morrill, Ryan Eldridge, Ashley Morrill-Eldridge, Matt Dix, and Jedi, must start from scratch to transform this abandoned shack into a cozy cabin. They begin by clearing out the raccoon infestation and starting to build a new foundation for the cabin. After that, the team works on installing new plumbing and electricity in the cabin, which proves to be a challenge given the remoteness of the location.
Once the basic infrastructure is in place, the team works on putting in a wooden interior, which gives the cabin a warm and rustic feel. They also get creative with the storage solutions in the cabin, building a strategically placed ladder to utilize the height of the space.
The team also works on creating a unique kitchen space that includes an old wooden countertop and open shelves, which highlight the beauty of the natural wood. They also add a custom-built dining table that provides ample space for guests to relax and enjoy meals together.
While the team faces several challenges during the renovation, including working with limited space and harsh winter weather conditions, they are ultimately able to transform the old oyster farm shack into a beautiful and cozy cabin that is perfect for a weekend getaway.
Overall, this episode of Maine Cabin Masters showcases the skilled craftsmanship and creativity of the team as they transform an almost-unlivable space into a warm and inviting cabin that is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the natural beauty of Maine.
