With the cabin in need of a thorough remodel and bunkhouse needing to be built from scratch, the Cabin Masters have their work cut out for them.

That plus a $30,000 budget, sheets of metal slipping off the roof, and a live electrical mast that gets downed during demolition keeps the team on their toes.

In the sixties, seven friends equally split the ownership of a hunting cabin near Alder Stream in Northern Maine, and agreed that as the seven men passed on, ownership would transfer to the remaining men.

They enlist the Maine Cabin Masters to help them restore the cabin to its former glory - and add a few creature comforts.

S8.E14 ∙ Form, Function & Fun on Flying Pond
When the Fosters inherited their camp on Flying Pond, it wasn't quite finished but they still love to visit, taking full advantage of its views and water access. Although it is very cozy the lack of plumbing, insulation and heat source made wintertime excursions difficult. Additionally its placement on a hill meant visitors would definitely get their steps in and with several walls absent, privacy was a bit of an issue. Lucky for them, they hired the Cabin Masters who pulled out all the stops, and stumps to rise to the task. As a nod to the Foster's firefighting background, the crew perform a search and rescue of their own when pieces of the dock slip away. They even found time to pair off for some friendly competition before completing the work on this unfinished gem.
S8.E15 ∙ Trolley Good Family Camp
The Cleary family recently acquired one of the original six cabins at the Lakeside Marina, which neighbors the legendary Island Park in Manchester, Maine.

The harsh winters and wet summers have weathered the structure and the family would like to upgrade the cabin from a cozy fishing getaway to a modern family vacation retreat. Chase and the team accept the challenge to expand this tiny cottage upward and outward with plenty of room for the entire Cleary family and their good friend and fishing partner Drew. The Cabin Masters also confirm the trolley rumors, combat some plumbing problems, and literally raise the roof to completely transform this cabin.
