Bob takes a look at some hardscape work being done, specifically a new cobblestone driveway apron, but the real story today is flooring. On the first floor, Don and Kerry Carlisle from Carlisle Restoration Lumber, a supplier of reclaimed lumber , are on hand to tell Bob about the wide oak flooring that was chosen, and the milling process that goes into a Carlisle floor. Next, Howard Brickman explains different methods of flooring installation before beginning a gluing and nailing process in the kitchen. Moving to the dining room, Howard demonstrates a screwing and plugging technique, as well as the FloorWatch monitor system, which allows you to observe the moisture content of aa floor remotely.
