In Maine Cabin Masters season 2 episode 9 titled "Heirloom Home On The Shore," the Cabin Masters, a group of skilled craftsmen from Maine, take on a unique project to restore a special family heirloom home situated on the coast. The home belongs to a family that has been passing it down through generations, and it is in dire need of repair.
The team is led by builder Chase Morrill, who is joined by his sister Ashley and friends Ryan, Matt, and Jedi. Their goal is to turn the dilapidated home into a comfortable and functional space that will retain the family's memories while also accommodating their modern lifestyle.
The home is a classic New England-style house with beautiful ocean views. However, years of weather and neglect have taken a toll on its exterior and interior, with rot and water damage permeating throughout the structure.
The Cabin Masters embark on an extensive renovation project that includes repairing the roof, replacing the windows, and fixing the foundational issues, among other things. They also add a new porch in the back of the house that overlooks the ocean.
One of the challenges the team faces is working within the confines of the existing layout of the home while also making it more livable and modern. To that end, they open up the living room by removing a corner and adding a wood-fired stove to enhance the cozy feel of the space.
Another challenge the Cabin Masters face is incorporating the various family heirlooms into the design of the home. They work with the family to figure out placement for these objects, including a grandfather clock and a vintage sewing machine.
Throughout the renovation process, the team encounters unexpected obstacles, such as discovering asbestos that needs to be safely removed and a chimney that turns out to be structurally unsound. However, they work through these issues with their trademark humor and creativity, incorporating unique design elements into the home to make it truly special.
In the end, the Cabin Masters succeed in restoring the home to its former glory, preserving the cherished memories of the family and ensuring that it will be enjoyed for years to come.
