See Episode GuideThe 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. With a budget of $20,000, a lot of reclaimed materials and help from family members, the team races to pull off this renovation before the family reunion.
Veterans' Retreat
Chase Morrill and his team of builders take on an unusual project from retired United States Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills. Through his foundation, Travis is building a retreat in Maine to help combat-injured veterans and their families adjust to their new normal. Chase and the crew are tasked with turning a simple lakeside cottage into an ADA-compliant event center for the veterans and their families. The key feature will be a huge commercial-grade deck that can accommodate up to 40 guests at a time. With only eight weeks until the first guests arrive and the camp buried under two feet of snow, the team will have to get creative to finish this project on time.
Oyster Farm Shack
Builder Chase Morrill, his sister, Ashley, and their team find themselves rebuilding an old oyster shack for a working oyster farm in Edgecomb, Maine. Forced into immediate action by their shortest timeline to date while working with a budget of $25,000, the team must start their preliminary work with snow still on the ground.
A Cabin for the YMCA
The Kennebec Valley YMCA in Augusta, Maine, needs a new play structure, and the Cabin Masters know just the crew for the job. In addition, Ryan decides it's time to build the workshop that Chase Morrill has always wanted. With winter fast approaching and no budget for either project, the team works feverishly to finish the play cabin for the YMCA and the workshop for Chase before everything freezes over.
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.
Bunganuc Creek Landmark
Builder Chase Morrill and his crew take on a historic clammers' shack that's one nor'easter away from falling into Bunganuc Creek. Designer Ashley joins the guys for a renovation that consists of opening up boarded windows as well as clearing out animal droppings, years of trash and old machinery. In order to make a big transformation without changing the look of the outside, they get creative while battling the rising tide that touches the camp. The team has their work cut out for them with this rebuild, and they know everyone in town is watching closely as they work on this historic landmark.
