Ep 3. The Old Fishing Camp

Maine Cabin Masters season 6 episode 3, titled "The Old Fishing Camp," follows the team as they attempt to renovate an old fishing camp located in East Winthrop. The camp is owned by the Kalloch family, who has owned the property for generations. The fishing camp was initially built in the late 1800s and has seen better days. The camp was used by the family for fishing and hunting, but it has been abandoned for several years due to the damage done by water and animals.

The team, made up of Chase Morrill, his sister Ashley, their longtime friend Ryan Eldridge, and Jedi, their dog, are excited to renovate the old fishing camp and restore it to its former glory. The team meets with the Kalloch family to discuss what they want to achieve. The family wants to preserve the history of the camp while also making it more comfortable for their family to use.

The team immediately gets to work on the camp, and the first task is to remove the debris and trash that is strewn throughout the property. They find old appliances, broken furniture and other items that have been damaged by the elements or animals. The team then focuses on fixing the foundation issues, repainting, and repairing the roof.

The interior of the fishing camp needs a lot of work. The team works to replace the waterlogged floors and walls, as well as to replace the dated plumbing and electrical systems. They work to make the living space more accommodating while still maintaining its original charm. The team decides to use wooden siding to replace the damaged logs on the exterior of the camp. They also build a new porch and add a dock to the nearby river.

The team also has to address the numerous insects and pests that have taken up residence at the camp. They deal with spiders, mice, and other bugs that have made the camp their home.

As they work, the team uncovers some fascinating historical artifacts, including an old fishing basket, a cane, and some old photographs. These discoveries give them a glimpse into the lives of the original owners of the camp.

The team is faced with several challenges throughout the renovation process, including a severe storm that threatens to undo all their hard work. They must also find a way to keep the camp's authentic feel while still making it comfortable for the Kalloch family to use.

In the end, the team is able to complete the renovation successfully, and the Kalloch family is thrilled with the results. They now have a beautiful, historic fishing camp that retains its charm while also being comfortable enough for their family to use.
