Installing Custom Light Grids (HA0810)

Buy Show Video

We start the installation of the architect's craftsman-style custom light grids by installing the back lights with the electrician. Then, we go around the block to James Thomas Stained Glass, to see how the six panels are cut and put together. Back on site, the whole grid comes together for a sensational living room feature. Gavin, the architect, also explains his native Australian concept for the insulation of the roof of this house, which even in the LA summer won't need air conditioning.
