Beaver Lake Open Floor Plan remodel

Major renovations to a 1940's rural cabin, which had subsequent additions and renovations to the original fishing cabin to get to where we start. Goal was to create a more open plan for the kitchen/dining/living areas for entertaining, and relocate and make better the Master Bedroom/Bath. Plus some mid-project decisions that made this project worthy of an HDTV episode.
