Ep 2. A Lobster Legacy Shack

In season 4, episode 2 of Maine Cabin Masters, the team is tasked with helping out a local lobsterman who has inherited a shack from his grandfather that has been in the family for generations. The shack is located right on the coast and has been used to store lobster traps, but the new owner wants to convert it into a vacation rental property.

The team, consisting of Chase Morrill, Ashley Morrill-Eldridge, and Ryan Eldridge, are excited to take on the challenge of transforming the shack into a beautiful and functional living space for renters. The shack is small and in disrepair, but the team is optimistic that they can make it work.

They begin by clearing out all of the old lobster traps and cleaning up the interior of the shack. They realize that the shack is not level, which poses a challenge for laying down flooring and building walls. However, the team is determined to overcome this obstacle and make the shack into a beautiful and level space.

Next, the team meets with the owner to discuss his vision for the vacation rental. He wants a rustic look that incorporates lobster-themed decor. The team agrees to this design and begins searching for materials that fit the vision. They find some old lobster traps and buoys that they use to decorate the exterior of the shack.

After laying down the flooring, building the walls, and painting the exterior, the team focuses on the interior design. They find some beautiful reclaimed wood that they use to build a feature wall in the living room. They also create a custom-sized bed for the loft area, which will be used as the sleeping space.

To maximize space, the team builds a custom folding table that can be stored when not in use. They also add a beautiful butcher block countertop to the kitchen area, which adds both functionality and charm.

The team encounters a few challenges along the way, such as dealing with the uneven floors and finding the right lobster-themed decor. However, they are able to overcome these challenges and create a beautiful and functional vacation rental.

In the end, the owner is thrilled with the final product and is excited to start renting out the property. The team is proud of their work and happy to have helped preserve a piece of Maine's lobstering heritage. This episode is a great example of the team's dedication to creating beautiful and unique cabin spaces while also honoring Maine's rich history and traditions.
