The Cabin Masters then make every attempt to restore these structures, remaining true to their original function, but sometimes adding modern amenities like solar panels and composting toilets. [2] At the end of the episode, the Cabin Masters "reveal" the renovated cabin to its owners and ceremoniously hand over its keys.

Chase is the team's leader, but the work is done collaboratively. As the designer, Ashley chooses paint colors and the like, and seeks objects that are unique to Maine culturesuch as tote bags made from old sails. [3]
