In this episode, Bob focuses on the barn, a former dairy storage building that will be converted into an artist's studio and office space. Along with contractor Charlie Tomaszewski, he discovers some artifacts that have survived over the years, including the original sign and old milk bottles. Demolition begins on site, and temporary walls as well as some Georgia-Pacific laminated veneer lumber (LVL) beams are installed.
