Don’t be surprised if you don’t know Ashley Morrill by name. She’s part of the DIY Network and, alongside her brother, is featured on “Maine Cabin Masters,” as the brother-sister duo who make it their mission to go through Maine finding remote cabins and saving them from certain ruin. It’s an intriguing concept and many people love the show. It’s not as well-known as many of the other DIY shows you see on other networks, so not everyone is overly familiar with her. Nevertheless, she’s a fascinating woman and absolutely worth getting to know.
1. She’s in Her 40s
Born on January 27, 1976, she is the elder sibling. Her brother Chase is almost two years younger than her, even though he was born the following year. She and Chase not only star on the same show, they were born close together – her in the first month of 1976, him in the last month of 1977. If he had come just one more month later, he would be exactly two years younger than her. Instead, he arrived on Christmas Day.
2. She Learned it All from her Father
Her father was a builder himself. He led a very successful life within his family and career, and he made sure to teach both his son and daughter everything he knew in his line of work. They were very close, and he was an invaluable source of knowledge for both of them. Sadly, she lost her father in 2014 following his heartbreaking battle with cancer.
3. She’s College Educated
She knew she wanted to follow in the footsteps her father had left for her, and that meant going to college and obtaining her degree. Her degree happened to be in graphic design, which is a great choice and undoubtedly helpful to her in her current line of work. She attended the University of Maine.
4. She Doesn’t Care for the Fame
One thing that she’s not in this business for is the fame. She loves to work; her creative mind and personality are best expressed when she spends her time creating. She prefers going to the supermarket without being recognized. One time, she and her family were in Italy when a fan unexpectedly recognized her, which took her very much by surprise.
5. She’s Married to Her CoStar
This show is truly a family affair, to be honest. Her husband Ryan Eldridge appears on the show alongside her and her brother, although they prefer to keep their lives as private as possible. Occasionally, however, they surprise us with some information we might not have otherwise known. For instance, did you know these two are the kind of couple who wear matching Christmas pajamas? We didn’t, but now we do!
6. She Doesn’t Have Her Husband’s Last Name
If you think she’s only using her maiden name because she’s famous, that’s not necessarily the case. She’s overwhelmed by the idea of changing her name and has no idea where to begin, so she has opted to use her maiden name for now. She would eventually like to change her name to her husband’s, however.
7. She’s Messy
She admits she’s the messiest person she knows; however, she wants to clarify that she’s not a disgusting or nasty kind of messy. We get the feeling that she’s just a clutter kind of messy, as so many people really are.
8. Her Husband Better Take Out the Trash
If he wants to stay on her good side, he needs to take out the trash and then replace the bag. It’s not enough for him to take out the trash when the bag is full; the bag must be replaced. This is her biggest pet peeve, and it leaves me wondering who takes out the trash without replacing the bag? In our house, it’s a game of “everyone is blind” when it comes to noticing the bag is full…but when my husband finally realizes none of us are dealing with the full bag, he takes it out and then replaces it.
9. She’s Very Private
You won’t get much information about Ashley Morrill if you look her up. She prefers to keep her personal life private. She’s not trying to hide anything from anyone; she simply values her privacy and prefers to keep her family matters to herself. We understand.
10. She’s a Fan of A Few Things
We all have a few things we love in life, and hers are just like everyone else’s. Morrill really loves Willie Nelson. She also has a strong passion for baseball. She’s also an avid traveler, and she loves to see the world whenever she has the opportunity.
