Kevin tours a Georgia carpet factory (it's more interesting than it sounds), Miah's kitchen island gets a butcher block top, and the North Asheville boulder wall gets planted with succulents.

A nonprofit workshop pours a vanity top with sand from the Swannanoa River, Jenn sends soil samples to the lab, and Kevin finds out that antiquing after a hurricane has a whole different vibe.

Lee Gilliam tackles a lumpy, mossy backyard with a dethatcher, a leveling rake, and a toddler’s help. Jenn Nawada breaks down houseplants by light exposure. Nathan Gilbert swaps hollow-core interior doors for solid-core slabs—and shows why rushing to prehung is a mistake.

James Beard award-winning restaurants are reopening, the mountain water that flooded everything also makes great beer, and the North Asheville chimney finally gets resolved — spoiler: they went with an insert.

Landscape architects wrestle multi-ton boulders into retaining walls, Paula gets a door-staining lesson, and Kevin explores how Biltmore Village is bouncing back from the storm.

A carpentry teacher's students are building actual houses for storm victims, new electrical codes demand bigger meters, and Tom Silva helps turn an antique chest into a bathroom vanity — and somehow makes it look easy.

Building science experts seal a house with pressurized mist (yes, really), FEMA tackles the hazardous trees still looming overhead, and Mark gets a history lesson at one of Asheville's most iconic hotels.

Jim's brother drives down from Jersey to tile a bathroom, a father-son roofing duo explains why four nails aren't enough anymore, and Kevin sneaks in a field trip to the Biltmore Estate.

Mark and a mason scope out chimney damage with a camera (it's not pretty), Kevin replaces siding in the mud, and the Army Corps of Engineers drops by to explain what 'relief efforts' actually looks like.
