Between the snow delays and their $45,000 budget, this project is sure to come down to the wire.
A Camp on Two Ponds

City Slickers Off the Grid

The Morrill Family Bunkhouse
Chase Morrill and his team of builders head to their family camp to take on the old army barracks that has served as overflow sleeping for over 40 years. With the family expanding and sleeping space at a premium, the guys try to save the structure to accommodate family reunions for years to come.

Stable Family Ties

The Dixie Dog Den
The Cabin Masters team helps their own Matthew Dix restore his grandfather's old shed to its former glory.

In a Cabin Master first, Chase and the crew are tasked with a relocation and land manifestation of a family Yurt on an island on Togus Pond. With a budget of $15,000 and five weeks to complete the job, Chase and the team enter uncharted (and nearly frozen) waters, knowing they will have to move quickly to beat the oncoming ice and snow so they can have the yurt ready for the family to drop their fishing lines in the frozen pond.
A Family Cabin Fit For A King
The Cabin Masters have a $50,000 budget to renovate a camp four-times the size of their usual builds. While they're hesitant to take on such a huge project, the team is determined to deliver after finding out the client is a member of Ryan's favorite band. After a series of harsh weather delays, the crew reluctantly asks for an extension on their deadline and faces the truth that cabins weren't meant to be built in the winter. The team "drops the mic" on this build and blows away the entire family with a complete exterior and interior facelift including a special project that pays homage to a loved family member and a giant outdoor checkerboard for the kids.
A Family Gathering Place
Chase and his team take on a project on McGrath Pond in Oakland, ME, that has been empty for 15 years. Stephanie bought this place from her father and promised him she would fix it up. After her father passed a few years ago, she knew she needed to get some help so she could fulfill her promise and bring it back to the fun cabin it once was. While it seems like a pretty straightforward renovation, starting a project this late in the season raises a lot of challenges. Can Chase and his team get this project done before winter comes and brings construction to a halt?
