Buy Show Video

Bob brings us up to date on the work being done on the house so far. Painting is going on outside as well as inside, where Tyghe O'Donnell is applying low VOC paint in one of the bedrooms. Outside volunteers are using a new paint that's specially formulated for colder temperatures. In McCleary, Washington, Bob takes a tour of the Simpson Door plant, and back in Yonkers, Ryley installs a door with Steve Parks. Finally, Ren Anderson shows Bob a computerized test of the house's insulation.
