Season 8, Episode 1 – Seize the Daylight Basement

The Rooney Family loves spending their summer with relatives and friends on Great Pond. But their camp has two major issues: it's too small to share with their three adult children, and, it’s so dark when they’re inside, they can barely tell they’re on a lake! Knowing they always rise to the occasion, the Rooneys call the Maine Cabin Masters, hoping they can lift their camp and add a floor below the existing footprint. It takes a lot of yankee ingenuity and equipment, including I-Beams, soil heaters, drainage pumps, and excavators to pull off this engineering feat in the dead of winter. But the Cabin Masters are determined to give the Rooneys their quintessential lake cabin!

They enlist the Maine Cabin Masters to help them restore the cabin to its former glory — and add a few creature comforts.

Season 8, Episode 14 – Form, Function & Fun on Flying Pond

When the Fosters inherited their camp on Flying Pond, it wasn’t quite finished but they still love to visit, taking full advantage of its views and water access. Although it is very cozy the lack of plumbing, insulation and heat source made wintertime excursions difficult. Additionally its placement on a hill meant visitors would definitely get their steps in and with several walls absent, privacy was a bit of an issue. Lucky for them, they hired the Cabin Masters who pulled out all the stops, and stumps to rise to the task. As a nod to the Foster’s firefighting background, the crew perform a search and rescue of their own when pieces of the dock slip away. They even found time to pair off for some friendly competition before completing the work on this unfinished gem.

The Cleary family recently acquired one of the original six cabins at the Lakeside Marina, which neighbors the legendary Island Park in Manchester, Maine. Rumor has it their cabin was built on one of the trolley cars that was used at the height of the area's popularity in the early 1900s. The harsh winters and wet summers have weathered the structure and the family would like to upgrade the cabin from a cozy fishing getaway to a modern family vacation retreat. Chase and the team accept the challenge to expand this tiny cottage upward and outward with plenty of room for the entire Cleary family and their good friend and fishing partner Drew. The Cabin Masters also confirm the trolley rumors, combat some plumbing problems, and literally raise the roof to completely transform this cabin. During the build, Ashley takes a trip to a Trolley Museum for some inspiration and ends up getting some on the job training in how to drive a trolley. As winter takes hold of the state, Chase and his team must race to finish the Cabin before the weather makes building outside impossible.

Because of this, many carriers will still show one one episode on their schedule and air the other. It’s currently difficult to tell which will air at the specified time.

Season 1, Episode 7 – A Cabin for the Bride

The Cabin Masters are back home in Augusta, getting ready for Lance’s wedding when Chase gets a call from an old friend who has a little log cabin stuck in her backyard. He sees the cabin as a fun project for the team to work on and present to Lance’s lovely bride after the wedding, so with no budget and Lance as the foreman, landlord and overall malcontent, the team disassembles the log cabin and moves it onto his property. With the wedding quickly approaching and Lance busy building outhouses and emu pens for his fiance, the team must work fast in order to finish before Lilly walks down the aisle.

Accurate Episode Guides
Most of the unofficial Episode Guides for Maine Cabin Masters are in really poor shape. Your service provider, be it cable, satellite, or a streaming service, likely has the show’s episodes listed incorrectly in multiple spots. I know Sling does this, as they currently have the recent “Best Summer Camps” recap as season 8 episode 2. Go figure… The base issue is that DIY Network itself is actually all over the place with this, showing this a lot of information that doesn’t make any sense. So what’s correct, and where do you find that information? Here’s where the best information is, which is also synced to each other:
  • Maine Cabin Masters own Episode Guide: Consider this the Official and most accurate Guide. Maintained by Hero Media Network, this matches any discussion you’ll see on the podcasts or in person with the team.
  • Cuisinology.com (The Guide you’re looking at right now.): I know this one’s accurate because it’s my own, and I keep it synced to the above Official Guide. You can search this page for special projects you’re curious about, find show statistics, the Bodies of Water map created by David Emmith, what platforms to watch the show on, and much more info.
  • Maine Cabin Masters’ IMDb Pages: I originally built the Guide you’re looking at as a source to get the IMDb pages updated, which I still maintain. I use images on IMDb from Hero Media’s Official Guide via Michelle Miller, who also helped to make sure I was getting copyright info correct. This then syncs directly to the Official Guide on the Maine Cabin Masters site.
Notes About This Episode Guide
  1. Episode Descriptions: The descriptions on this page are adapted from the official descriptions on the Maine Cabin Masters own Episode Guide.
  2. Anomalies:
    • Episode Title Duplication: Season 3 episode 15 and season 5 episode 1 (formerly season 4 episode 14) are both titled “A Dream Come True.” I’ve changed the title of season 3 episode 15 to “A Dream Come True – Hockeytown” both here and in the IMDb episode guide to differentiate between the two episodes.
    • Episode Title Swap: Season 7 episode 13, “Camp ‘Contee Going Up!”, and season 7 episode 14, “A Container Conversion”, were originally aired in reverse of what was announced. Because of this, many carriers will still show one one episode on their schedule and air the other. It’s so far difficult to tell which will air at the specified time.
    • Goof: One of the cabins featured in season 5 episode 12 (formerly season 4 special episode 25), “Top Ten Island Escapes”, is the Nutt cabin from season 4 episode 6, “Passport to Greenville.” However, within the “Top Ten Island Escapes” episode the Nutt’s cabin is incorrectly referred to in dialog as “The Call Of The Loon”, which is the Kopec cabin from season 4 episode 3.
  3. Episode Info Accuracy: In binging the all available episodes of the show, it turned out that many available episode descriptions online are inaccurate. This includes listing Lance’s wedding gift from Chase as geese instead of emus, inaccurate cabin ages or dates, incorrect budgets or available timelines, etc. Additional info included in the listing are:
    • Location: In most episodes this is relatively general, with some (i.e., the Fishman cabin) being intentionally obscure.
    • Owner(s): Parents and couples are listed without their kids.
    • Budget: This includes the available funds and desired timeline, most being listed without any additional funds or unexpected extensions.
    • Special Projects: These are listed from watching the episodes and are described as completely as possible.
  4. Updates: Please use our Contact Page to submit suggested corrections or additions.
Disclaimer - Unaffiliated with the Maine Cabin Masters

This is not an authorized Episode Guide. I am not affiliated with the Maine Cabin MastersMagnolia Network, or Hero Media Arts. All opinions expressed here are my own. We are simply fans of the show.

This unofficial episode guide is mainly (“Maine-ly”?) for our own use. Maine Cabin Masters is one of our favorite shows, but we had yet to be able to find a complete, accurate, and more importantly, searchable episode guide for the show. Compiled from a number of sources, including binge-watching all episodes of the series multiple times, this guide puts all our family needs for a searchable episode guide in a single page.

Disclaimer - This Guide and IMDb

While the information listed here may appear to be a duplication of the Maine Cabin Masters’ Episode Guide on IMDb, the reverse is what occurred. In not being able to locate a more-detailed Guide, I realized the IMDb Guide had not been updated in some time. I binged the show on various platforms from June 20 – July 4, 2020, completing this page while viewing. I then edited and updated the IMDb Episode Guide from July 14 – July 17 using the info from this page. From September 18 – 27, 2020, and with the permission of Hero Media Arts, Kennebec Cabin Company‘s web firm, I also updated the images on the show’s IMDb pages. Season 4 was then split on IMDb by myself to create seasons 4 and 5 on December 4, 2020, to match the split on the Cabin Masters’ own site. On the IMDb page for season 5 I’ve added the eight special episodes as 508 – 515 (formerly numbered by myself as episodes 421 – 428), which Michelle Miller of Hero Media Arts has agreed with. I then also added the season 6 special episodes in the same manner. As the information that can be added to IMDb is fairly limited, the more complete information for viewing the show is on this page. As of season 8, I’m still voluntarily updating the show’s IMDb pages.

Episode Run Times & Ads

All Maine Cabin Masters episodes have a run time of 40;10, +/- just a couple of seconds here and there.

There has recently been considerable conjecture about whether additional ad are being inserted into the program. This is untrue. Episode timings beginning with episode 101, “The Daggett Camp”, are almost identical through the most recent episodes. These timings can be viewed in some on-demand systems where the show is available. To verify these timings on other systems, they can be double-checked with a chess timer, such as the chess timer at timeme.com. Open the Timing Controls link on the page, and set the Time Limit to 60 minutes. Play an episode, simultaneously starting Player 1 for the Program time. Then switch to Player 2 when ads begin, and switch back-and-forth throughout the episode.
