Ep 9. The Foster's Re-Renovation

A group of skilled craftsmen in Maine are back again for another exciting renovation project in season 7 of Maine Cabin Masters. In episode 9 named The Foster's Re-Renovation, they take on the daunting task of transforming an old hunting cabin into a functional and cozy family retreat. The cabin is owned by the Fosters, a family who enjoys spending time in Maine's wilderness and wanted a rustic yet practical space to call their own.

The team headed by Chase Morrill and his crew-Jason, Ryan, and Dixie- has to completely rebuild the cabin from the ground up as it has deteriorated over the years. The cabin is located in a beautiful and remote forested area, which makes it harder to get the necessary equipment to the site. The team must rely on their ingenuity and old-fashioned hard work to get the job done.

Starting with the foundation, they replace it with new stones and reinforce it to make it more structurally sound. The walls and roof are next, and they work tirelessly to create a properly insulated structure that can withstand the harsh Maine winters. The team also has to reframe the window openings to accommodate larger and more energy-efficient windows that allow natural light and ventilation into space.

The main living space is functional, yet rustic features full-height logs and rough-hewn beams that are left exposed for a cozy lodge effect. The team also creates custom furniture pieces that double as storage to help save space in the small cabin. For instance, they build built-in benches with drawers in the dining area and convert a closet into a cabinet with pull-out shelves in the kitchen.

For added charm, the team adds a unique touch to the cabin's interior decor by installing wainscoting and creating a beautiful fireplace mantel that adds warmth to the room. They also create a second sleeping area by adding two bunk beds in the loft area.

The cabin's exterior is just as stunning as the interior, with a large stone chimney and hand-made cedar shake siding. The team creates a beautiful covered porch that spans the front of the home, providing both a functional and inviting space perfect for entertaining guests and relaxing with family.

After weeks of hard work and dedication from the Maine Cabin Masters team, the Fosters' cabin is ready to be enjoyed by the family and their guests. From the cozy and charming interior to the picturesque exterior, this re-renovation project shows just how the talented craftsmanship of Chase Morrill and his team can transform a dilapidated cabin into a beautiful family retreat.

Overall, The Foster's Re-Renovation showcases the ingenuity and creativity of the Maine Cabin Masters team as they work tirelessly to transform the Fosters' old hunting cabin into a stunning family vacation home. With their trademark attention to detail, dedication, and hard work, the team creates a space that is both functional and inviting, perfect for spending quality time with loved ones in the heart of Maine's wilderness.
