Repairing the Front Facade (HA0805)

Buy Show Video

Bob and Cortney demolish the kitchen sink and cabinets to make room for the new ones, while homeowners Gavin & Michelle Langley shop for a vintage cabinet at Big 10 Building Materials, a salvage yard in Alta Dena. They bring the cabinet back home and strip off the yellow paint. The front facade also gets a facelift, as weather beaten clapboarding and trim are replaced.
