In this episode, Bob catches up on the work in-progress at Elm Court. Joe Adams and Ralph McGrath from Owens Corning are working in a media room installing a QuietZone Acoustyle coffered ceiling. This grid ceiling system is ideal for a media room where it will greatly reduce noise from audio and visual systems. Downstairs, Bob joins Sonya and Bob Berle in the grand parlor, one of the most ornate rooms in the house. The tour continues into the adjacent dining room. Here Vila learns about the current status of the home as a popular bed and breakfast and wedding location. Next, Vila and the Berles finish the tour in the kitchen area, where the couple used some stock and some reproduction material to create an authentic butler’s kitchen, and turned the old kitchen into a family area.
