In Salvage Kings season 1 episode 6, titled "Island Finds," the Salvage Kings team head to the small island of Sechelt in British Columbia on a mission to salvage two rustic log cabins. The team consists of Justin Fortin, Mike Fortin, Sheldon Zacharias, and Karen Chapple. The cabins, which are over 100 years old, have been abandoned for many years and are in need of restoration.
Upon arriving at the island, the team is faced with the challenge of transporting all the necessary equipment and materials to the cabins which can only be reached by boat and a long hike up the mountain. The team decides to use a barge to transport everything they need, but the rough waters make it difficult to get all the equipment safely to shore.
Despite the challenges, the team manages to safely transport all the equipment they need and begins the work of salvaging the cabins. The first step in the restoration process is to remove any dangerous materials such as asbestos, lead paint, and rotting wood.
Once the hazardous materials have been removed, the team begins the process of dismantling the cabins log by log. The team works tirelessly to ensure that each log is removed carefully and safely so that it can be used in the restoration process.
As they continue to work on the cabins, the team discovers a few surprises along the way. They find an old stove that they believe could be restored and used in the cabins once they are fully restored. They also find an old blueberry rake that has been left behind which they plan to clean up and display in their Salvage Kings showroom.
Throughout the episode, viewers get a glimpse into the team's work ethic and their dedication to preserving pieces of history. The Salvage Kings team works together to overcome every obstacle thrown their way, including heavy rain and sore muscles.
As the episode comes to a close, the team successfully dismantles the two log cabins, and the team members express their excitement about the restoration process. Despite the many challenges they faced during their time on Sechelt Island, the team is proud of the work they were able to accomplish.
