Finishing Episodes

Charlie tours a Springfield trim factory, Tom explains why there should be air behind your siding, and the new deck gets composite tongue-and-groove boards. Plus: a kitchen mock-up that's smarter than it looks.

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.

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.

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.
