NELMA’s partnership with the Maine Cabin Masters has done a lot to promote the use of wood species relevant to the Northeast (“Throw some pine at it!”). The association and our members are thrilled to have been a part of their project in Monmouth Maine rehabbing an historic Fire Station. The episode aired this week on Magnolia Network and features the team diving into a unique community restoration project: transforming the original Monmouth Fire Station into a captivating Fire Museum. With safety as their top priority, the Cabin Masters face the challenge of reinforcing an unstable second floor. This means installing hefty 3,500 lb. steel I-Beams. Will the Masters buckle under the weight? Watch as they navigate one of the dirtiest demos yet, as Chase and the guys bravely test the limits of the upper level. The episode concludes with a heartwarming fire truck “push-in” ceremony that reunites the antique auto with its original home and pays homage to local heroes!
