In season 1 episode 3 of Restoration Road with Clint Harp, Clint travels to Missouri to transform a log cabin into a rustic, yet modern living space. The cabin was built in the early 1800s and has been vacant for several years, causing significant deterioration to its structure and interior.
Upon arrival, Clint and his team begin working on repairing the cabin's foundation and replacing the rotting logs. While inspecting the cabin's walls, Clint discovers that they need to remove a section of the wall to reinforce it properly. The team also addresses the issue of the cabin's leaky roof by installing a new one, ensuring that the inside of the cabin stays dry.
The interior of the cabin needs significant work, with the outdated cabinetry and countertops needing to be replaced. Clint uses reclaimed wood to make a new countertop, providing a modern and rustic look. He also makes new cabinets and shelves, creating a more efficient and functional kitchen. In addition, Clint and his team remove an unused fireplace, following all the safety protocols so that they don't cause any damage to the cabin's structure.
The bathroom in the cabin is small, outdated, and in need of a complete makeover. Clint uses reclaimed wood to make a new vanity, and he installs a new sink and faucet, giving the bathroom a much-needed facelift. He also installs a new toilet, ensuring that it's energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.
The living room in the cabin had a dark and outdated aesthetic, making it difficult for the space to feel welcoming. Clint uses reclaimed wood to make a new mantle and adds a new fireplace, making the living room more inviting and cozy. He also creates a new couch and updates the lighting to create a more modern look.
The cabin had a lot of potential, but with time, it had become outdated and unsightly. Clint and his team successfully take on this challenging restoration project by giving the cabin a refresh while preserving its history.
Overall, season 1 episode 3 of Restoration Road with Clint Harp showcases Clint's exceptional craftsmanship and ability to turn a rundown cabin into a cozy and modern home while preserving its history. The viewers witness the importance of preserving historical structures and how they can enhance the value of a residential/national historical property by remodeling them with contemporary styles.
