0415 - Building and Installing Cabinets December 13-19, 1993 | June 13-19, 1994 HI, I'M BOB VILA.
WELCOME HOME AGAIN.
WE'VE GOT LOTS OF
PROGRESS TODAY.
WE'LL TAKE A TOUR
AROUND THE HOUSE.
THE FARMER'S PORCH DECK
IS BEING COMPLETED.
THE CLAPBOARDS
ARE ALMOST FINISHED.
THE PLASTERERS
ARE STILL PRETTY BUSY.
WE'RE ALSO GOING
INTO THE WOOD SHOP,
WE'RE BOB RYLEY IS
SHOWING US HOW TO
CRAFT BUILT-IN
CABINET AND BOOKSHELVES
FOR THE DOWNSTAIRS DEN.
AND WE'LL TRAVEL TO
SAVANNAH, GEORGIA,
WHERE WE'LL VISIT GEORGIA
PACIFIC'S PLYWOOD PLANT
AND LEARN HOW THEY MAKE
THE STUFF.
IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU
HOME AGAIN.
THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE
IS FAR ALONG
AND WE'VE BEEN WAITING
UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE
TO GET THE STRAIGHT GRAIN
FIR PORCH DECKING IN PLACE
BECAUSE IT'S DELICATE.
THE FRAME IS BUILT
VERY TRADITIONALLY.
ALTHOUGH IT'S PRESSURE
TREATED LUMBER,
WE'VE TAKEN THE PRECAUTION
OF ADDING
STRIPS OF FELT PAPER
LIKE THIS
WHICH KEEP THE MOISTURE
FROM GETTING INTO IT.
THE ONE BY FOUR
STRAIGHT GRAIN FIR
IS BEING FITTED
RIGHT INTO PLACE
AND SPACED WITH
THE WIDTH OF A NAIL.
ALL OF IT IS BEING PUT DOWN
WITH STAINLESS STEEL NAILS
WHICH ARE REALLY
IMPERVIOUS TO RUST
AND SHOULD LAST
A LONG TIME.
WE'RE BACK-PRIMING
THE DECKING MATERIAL
WITH A MIXTURE OF
TWO PARTS LINSEED OIL
AND ONE PART TURPENTINE,
WHICH IS A REAL
OLD-FASHIONED WAY TO DO IT.
IT WILL REQUIRE MAINTENANCE.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK
AROUND THE SIDE.
WE HAVE A SIDING
CONTRACTOR NOW,
PUTTING ALL THESE
CEDAR CLAPBOARDS IN PLACE.
ONE OF THE BEAUTIES
OF BUYING IN BULK
WHEN YOU'RE DOING
THIS KIND OF WORK
IS YOU REALLY
GET SOME LENGTH.
THESE ARE 2O FOOT LENGTHS.
THEY'RE ALL STAGGERED.
IN THE CORNER,
OUR WINDOWS FINALLY ARRIVED.
WE HAD A PROBLEM WITH
DELIVERY ON THESE LARGE UNITS.
THEY ARE NOW IN PLACE.
BOTH THE BOTTOMS AND TOPS
ARE CALLED HOPPERS
OR AWNING WINDOWS,
THAT OPEN OUT.
OVER HERE ON THE KITCHEN DOOR,
LARRY AND HIS FRIENDS
HAVE CREATED
A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE
BACK DECK OR ENTRY WAY
WHICH IS ALSO MADE OUT
OF THE SAME MATERIAL,
STRAIGHT GRAIN FIR.
BUT THEY'VE GONE TO
A LOT OF TROUBLE
TO MAKE A PICTURE FRAME
WITH MITERED CORNERS,
AND DO A BEAUTIFUL JOB.
LET'S GO IN THE KITCHEN.
THIS KITCHEN SPACE IS
REALLY GOING TO BE TERRIFIC.
HERE IN THE WORKING AREA,
WHERE THE ISLAND WILL BE,
WE'VE INSTALLED
THIS STOVE HOOD
WHICH IS DUCTED STRAIGHT UP
AND THROUGH THE ROOF.
AND HERE YOU CAN SEE RECYCLING
WORK IS TAKING PLACE.
WE'RE TAKING UP
THE HARD WOOD FLOOR.
THIS USED TO BE,
ORIGINALLY, BEDROOM SPACE.
SOME OF IT CAN RE-USED.
AND MY FAVORITE CORNER OF
THE NEW KITCHEN-FAMILY ROOM
IS THIS ONE HERE.
WE'LL HAVE THE TABLE
AND DINING OPERATION
AND A HALF-DOZEN
BIG WINDOWS AND SMALL WINDOWS.
NOT ONLY A BREEZE,
BUT WHAT A GREAT VIEW
OF THE LAKE, HUH?
LET'S GO UPSTAIRS.
VERY OFTEN IN
A REMODELING PROJECT,
THE BUDGET GOES OUT THE WINDOW
FOR ONE CHANGE OR ANOTHER.
YOU SAY YOU MIGHT AS WELL
DO THIS OR THAT.
HERE IN THE STAIRCASE
AND FRONT HALL AREA,
WHEN THE BLUE BOARD WENT UP,
EVERYBODY NOTICED HOW DARK
THE SPACE WAS.
TO ALLEVIATE THE SITUATION,
THE CONTRACTOR SUGGESTED
A SKYLIGHT.
AND WHAT A DIFFERENCE
IT MAKES.
THIS WAS JUST
INSTALLED THIS WEEK,
AND IT REALLY ILLUMINATES
THIS WHOLE SPACE.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT
IT'S A HOUSEWARMING PRESENT
FROM THE OWNER'S BROTHER.
LET'S PROCEED DOWN
THE BRIDGE
THAT CONNECTS THE KIDS' ROOMS
WITH THE MASTER BEDROOM.
AS YOU CAN SEE,
THIS WHOLE LIVING ROOM AREA
WHICH IS DOUBLE HEIGHT
HAS NOT YET BEEN PLASTERED.
IT'S STILL IN
THE BLUE BOARD MATERIAL
AND IT PROBABLY WILL BE
A THREE DAY JOB
ONCE YOU GET STAGING IN HERE
TO PUT THE WHOLE
THING TOGETHER.
THEY HAVE BEEN PLASTERING
IN HERE TODAY.
THIS IS THE DAUGHTER'S
BEDROOM,
AND I DON'T WANT
TO TOUCH IT
BECAUSE IT'S JUST BEEN
STEEL TROWELED OFF.
HERE'S A ROOM THAT'S ABOUT
1O BY 12 READY TO TRIM OUT.
RIGHT NEXT TO IT,
A BATHROOM,
WHERE WE WERE INSTALLING
THE ACRYLIC
BATH SHOWER COMBINATION,
WHICH YOU SEE IS ALL
TRIMMED OUT NOW.
LET'S SEE IF
THEY'VE GOT WATER.
YEAH, IT'S WORKING,
AND YOU CAN DIVERT IT HERE
OR SHUT IT OFF.
BUT THIS IS ALL ACRYLIC.
THE WALLS ARE ALL
JUST PLASTERED.
THEN WE HAVE THE CEMENTICIOUS
BOARD ON THE FLOOR
TO RECEIVE ALL
THE CERAMIC TILE.
WE'RE REALLY GETTING
INTO TRIM WORK.
RIGHT NOW, WE'VE GOT TO
GET INTO COMMERCIAL MESSAGES.
WHEN WE RETURN, I'LL GET
TOGETHER WITH BOB RYLEY
AND SHOW YOU HOW TO BUILD
BOOKSHELVES AND CABINETS
GOING IN THE LITTLE DEN.
I'M BOB VILA.
NEXT TIME ON HOME AGAIN,
WE'LL WRAP THINGS UP
ON THE FARMER'S PORCH,
SHOWING HOW TO PUT
DOWN DECKING.
WE'LL COMPLETE
THE CLAPBOARD SIDE WALL.
IN THE DOWNSTAIRS DEN,
WE'LL PUT IN
BUILT-IN BOOKSHELVES
AND CABINETS.
RYLEY WILL SHOW US
HOW TO BUILD THEM.
THEN WE'LL GO DOWN
TO SAVANNAH, GEORGIA
TO THE GEORGIA PACIFIC
PLYWOOD PLANT
TO FIND OUT HOW
THEY MAKE THAT STUFF.
NEXT TIME ON HOME AGAIN.
I'M BOB VILA.
NEXT TIME ON HOME AGAIN,
WE'LL BUILD PLYWOOD SHELVES
AND TOUR THE PLYWOOD FACTORY
IN SAVANNAH, GEORGIA.
DON'T MISS IT.
HI, RYLEY.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
GOOD. HI, BOB.
THIS IS LOOKING
VERY FAR ALONG.
THESE CABINETS WILL
BE INSTALLED RIGHT
INTO THE WALL.
HOW ARE YOU
BUILDING THEM?
WE'RE BUILDING THEM
OUT OF THIS 3/4 INCH
BIRCH PLYWOOD.
WE HAVE A HOLE
AT THE HOUSE.
IT'S 1O FOOT
9 1/2 INCHES.
THAT'S HOW BIG
THE DEN IS.
SO WE'RE GOING
TO BUILD THREE
SEPARATE
BASE CABINETS
AT 42 1/2 INCHES
AND THEN THREE
UPPER CABINETS
THAT WILL SIT
ON TOP
OF THE COUNTERTOP.
THE UPPER SECTIONS
WITH BOOKSHELVES
ARE ACTUALLY
SEPARATE FROM
THE BASES.
THAT'S RIGHT.
42 INCHES,
THAT'S A NICE WIDTH.
OF COURSE, 48 INCHES
IS ABOUT AS FAR
AS YOU COULD GO
BECAUSE PLYWOOD COMES
IN 48 INCH WIDTHS.
THIS MAKES FOR
A 21 1/2 INCH DOOR
WHICH IS A NICE SIZE.
THAT WAY, IT DOESN'T
BUMP INTO THE FURNITURE.
YOU'VE GOT ONE COMPLETE,
ONE UNDERWAY.
WHAT'S NEXT?
WE'RE READY TO
BUILD THIS THIRD
BOX RIGHT HERE.
I'VE GOT A SHEET
OF PLYWOOD I NEED
A HAND WITH.
THIS IS
BEAUTIFUL STUFF.
OK, SO NOW WE'VE CUT
THE SIDES OF
THE CABINET AT
19 1/4 INCHES.
THE HEIGHT IS WHAT?
28 1/2.
AND WE'LL MAKE
THOSE CUTS ON THAT.
NORMALLY, YOU TAKE
A MITER GAUGE,
WHICH IS AN ACCESSORY
TO THE SAW,
AND USE THAT TO
GUIDE YOUR BOARD
UNTIL YOU WORK
THROUGH THE BLADE
FOR A SQUARE CUT.
BUT WITH THIS
SIZABLE PIECE
OF WOOD,
19 BY 8 FEET,
YOU NEED SOMETHING ELSE.
THAT'S RIGHT.
THAT'S THIS...
IT'S PROBABLY
THE FIRST AUXILIARY
PIECE YOU'LL MAKE
FOR THE SAW.
OR ACCESSORY, YEAH.
OR ACCESSORY,
IS THIS JIG FOR
CUTTING PIECES
JUST LIKE THAT.
AND IT FITS INTO
THAT GROOVE
AND SLIDES BACK
AND FORTH WITH
THE FENCE AT
A 9O DEGREE ANGLE
TO THE BLADE.
1/2 INCH PLYWOOD
AND A HARDWOOD EDGE.
ALL THE ANGLES
ARE 9O DEGREES,
SO WORK IS PERPENDICULAR.
YOU'VE GOT
TO MEASURE...
28 1/2.
28 1/2 RIGHT THERE.
NOW WE'RE GOING
TO DEAL WITH
JOINING THE SIDE
PIECES TO THE BACK.
WE'RE WORKING WITH
3/4 INCH STOCK.
WE'RE USING
A DADO BLADE
THAT HAS BEEN
SET TO PLOW OUT
3/4 OF AN INCH.
WE'RE GOING TO
PLOW IT 3/8 DEEP,
WHICH IS HALF
THE DISTANCE
OF THE STOCK.
THAT'S WHERE
WE'LL PUT THE BACK.
SO THE CORNERS
WILL LAP.
THE SIDE PIECES ARE
JUST BUTTED TOGETHER
TO THE BOTTOM PIECE,
NAILED AND GLUED,
AND THEN WE'VE CUT
OUT A NOTCH
TO CREATE A TOE KICK
FOR YOUR FOOT TO GET INTO.
WE'RE READY FOR
THE BACK PIECE.
WE'LL PUT
GLUE IN THIS AREA
WE'VE PLOWED OUT.
THE BACK WILL
GO RIGHT ON THERE.
WE'LL NAIL IT
INTO PLACE WITH FOUR
PENNY FINISH NAILS.
WE COULD HAVE MADE
FLUSH PLYWOOD DOORS,
BUT INSTEAD WE'RE
CRAFTING PANELED DOORS
AND WE'VE CREATED
A MORTISE AND TENON
JOINT HERE
FOR THE STILES AND RAILS,
USING QUARTER INCH
PLYWOOD.
WHAT WAS THE FIRST
STEP HERE, RYLEY?
WE CREATED
THIS DETAIL HERE ON
THE STILES AND RAILS
WHICH IS CALLED
A PIRATING BEAD.
WE DID THAT
WITH A ROUTER
MOUNTED ONTO THIS
ROUTER TABLE.
A REAL NEAT
ACCESSORY TO HAVE.
YOU TAKE A REGULAR ROUTER
AND MOUNT IT
UPSIDE DOWN
ONTO THIS ROUTER TABLE.
THIS IS THE BIT
WE'RE USING.
WE'LL BE SURE
ALWAYS TO PUSH
THE MATERIAL INTO
THE CUTTING BLADE.
THE NEXT STEP
IS TO PLOW OUT
A 1/4 INCH RABET
TO RECEIVE THE PANELS.
NOW WE'LL CUT ALL OF
OUR STILES AND RAILS
TO LENGTH.
OK, RYLEY,
HOW DO YOU CUT
THE TENON?
FOR THIS,
WE'LL USE THE RADIAL
ARM SAW, BOB.
AS YOU CAN SEE,
WE'LL PUT IT
OFF-CENTERED
BECAUSE WE DON'T
WANT TO GET TOO
CLOSE
TO THIS PIRATING
BEAD DETAIL HERE.
WE'LL TAKE IT OFF
OF THE FACE FIRST
AND DO IT IN
TWO PASSES
BECAUSE WE'RE
CREATING
A ONE-INCH TENON
WITH A 3/4 INCH
DADO BLADE.
HAVING ADJUSTED
THE BLADE,
WE'RE GOING TO MAKE
A MORE SHALLOW CUT
ON THE BACKSIDE.
IN ORDER TO CREATE
THIS MORTISE IN
THE STILE,
RYLEY WILL JUST
PLUNGE IT INTO
THE TABLE SAW
SO WE GET ENOUGH
SPACE TO CREATE
A NICE JOINT.
I HAVE A PENCIL
MARK THAT'S GOING
TO GUIDE ME
SO I DON'T TAKE
OUT TOO MUCH
MATERIAL.
THE LAST CUT IS
A 45 THAT WILL GET
THAT PERFECT MITER.
OK, SO WE'VE PUT
A SPOT OF GLUE
ON EACH OF OUR
MORTISE AND TENON
JOINTS AT THE FOUR CORNERS.
THAT'S IT, NO NAILS.
AND NO GLUE WHERE
THE STILES AND RAILS
HOLD THE PANEL IN PLACE
BECAUSE THAT COULD
CAUSE SPLITTING.
LET IT SET FOR A DAY
AND THEY'LL BE READY
TO GO IN.
THANKS, RYLEY.
WE HAVE TO BREAK
FOR MESSAGES.
WHEN WE RETURN, WE'LL BE
IN SAVANNAH, GEORGIA,
VISITING THE GEORGIA
PACIFIC PLYWOOD PLANT.
SO STICK AROUND.
WE'RE IN CHATHAM COUNTY,
GEORGIA,
JUST A FEW MILES
OUTSIDE OF SAVANNAH
VISITING THE GEORGIA
PACIFIC PLYWOOD PLANT.
THIS PLANT'S BEEN HERE
SINCE 1948.
WE'LL LEARN HOW THEY MANUFACTURE
HARDWOOD PLYWOOD.
SPECIFICALLY, BIRCH PLYWOOD
LIKE IN OUR PROJECT.
OUR HOST, BRUCE HALLIBURTON,
IS GOING TO GIVE US A TOUR.
LET'S GET GOING.
BRUCE, YOU'RE MAKING
BIRCH VENEER PLYWOOD,
A HARDWOOD PLYWOOD.
WHERE DOES ALL
THE RAW MATERIAL
COME FROM?
ALL THE RAW
MATERIAL COMES
FROM NORTH AMERICA,
MOSTLY FROM
THE UNITED STATES,
SOME FROM CANADA.
WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE?
HERE, SONYA DAVIS,
ONE OF OUR 15-YEAR
EMPLOYEES,
IS GRADING THE FACE
AND BACK VENEERS.
WHAT SHE'S DOING,
THIS IS THE FIRST
QUALITY CONTROL STEP,
SHE IS SEPARATING
FACES FROM BACKS.
THE BIRCH PLYWOOD
HAS BIRCH ON THE FACE
AND THE BACK.
SHE HAS 19 DIFFERENT
GRADING CHARACTERISTICS
SHE'S KEEPING IN MIND
WHILE SHE SORTS
THROUGH TO GIVE US
A FACE AND A BACK.
IT'S ALL VERY
BEAUTIFUL, CLEAR BIRCH.
THE INSIDE OF
THE PLYWOOD IS MADE
OUT OF A CHEAPER
WOOD, RIGHT?
IT'S YELLOW POPLAR.
I CAN SHOW
YOU HOW WE PUT IT
TOGETHER OVER HERE.
THE FIRST VENEER,
IN THIS CASE, IS OAK
INSTEAD OF BIRCH.
THE GRAIN IS RUNNING
THE LONG DIRECTION OF
THE PLYWOOD.
THIS IS
THE CROSS BAND.
THIS IS
THE YELLOW POPLAR.
IT MAY NOT APPEAR
EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL
TO YOU
BUT IT'S
VIRTUE IS THAT IT'S
RELATIVELY SOLID.
WHEN YOU DRILL
A HOLE IN IT,
YOU WILL HIT WOOD
FOR YOUR SCREWS OR
OTHER FIXTURES.
THE PLYWOOD IS
CROSS-LAMINATED.
EVERY ADJACENT LAYER
IS PERPENDICULAR
TO THE OTHER.
AND FINALLY,
FOR A SEVEN PLY
PRODUCT,
WE GET TO THE BACK.
SO THAT'S
THE SECRET OF
THE STRENGTH,
THAT YOU'RE ALTERNATING
THE DIRECTION OF
THE GRAIN,
VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL?
ALL YOU'VE GOT IS
VERY THIN VENEER ON
THE OUTER EDGES
WHICH IS
THE BEAUTIFUL STUFF.
HOW DO YOU PUT
IT ALL TOGETHER?
ON A GLUE SPREADER.
WE'LL TAKE A LOOK.
SO HERE,
THEY'RE FORMING
THESE SANDWICHES.
TELL ME ABOUT
THE NATURE OF
THE GLUE.
I ASSUME THE GLUE
IS ON THOSE ROLLERS
UP THERE.
THOSE ARE
DOUBLE ROLL COATERS.
THEY ARE APPLYING
UREA FORMALDEHYDE
GLUE TO BOTH SIDES
OF EVERY OTHER
PIECE OF VENEER
THAT MAKES THE LAY-UP
UP ON THE SEVEN
PLY PLYWOOD.
ISN'T THERE A GREAT
DEAL OF CONCERN
ABOUT EMISSIONS FROM
THIS KIND OF GLUE?
YES, IT'S
AN IMPORTANT ISSUE
FOR GEORGIA PACIFIC.
THE GLUE IS
SPECIALLY FORMULATED
TO CONTAIN A SMALL
AMOUNT OF FORMALDEHYDE
TO BEGIN WITH.
IT ALSO CONTAINS
SCAVENGING AGENTS
WHICH BIND
THE FORMALDEHYDE
INTO THE PRODUCT
AND DO NOT ALLOW
IT TO ESCAPE INTO
THE ATMOSPHERE.
IT'S AN IMPORTANT
ISSUE FOR THE CONSUMERS
TO UNDERSTAND THAT
AS WELL AS
OUR MILL WORKERS HERE.
IT'S A HEALTH CONCERN
HERE, TOO, YEAH.
WHAT HAPPENS
ONCE THEY'VE CREATED
ALL THESE SANDWICHES?
WELL, THEY
ARE HEADED FOR
THE COLD PRESS.
IT'S A NECESSARY
STEP TO
PRESS THE SANDWICH
TOGETHER
SO THE GLUE
CAN SPREAD TO
THE OTHER VENEERS
THAT DID NOT
ORIGINALLY
HAVE GLUE.
HOW MUCH PRESSURE
IS IT PUT TO?
2OO POUNDS PRESSURE,
15 MINUTES TIME IN
THE COLD PRESS.
AFTER THAT, IT GOES
TO THE HOT PRESS
WHERE UNDER
ABOUT 25O POUNDS
OF PRESSURE,
27O DEGREES
TEMPERATURES,
THE SANDWICH IS
COMPRESSED TOGETHER.
YOU NEED THAT HEAT
AND PRESSURE FOR
A GOOD GLUE BOND.
BILL, YOU KNOW,
EVERY BUILDER HAS
TO BE ASSURED
THAT HE GETS
PRECISE SIZES,
WHETHER IT'S
PLYWOOD OR LUMBER.
HOW CAN YOU MAKE SURE
THAT IN THE CUTTING
OPERATIONS,
YOU'LL COME OUT
WITH 4 BY 8 SHEETS
AND NOT HAVE
ANY VARIATION?
THE WAY WE DO THAT
IS WE HAVE
A PRECISION SAW LINE
WITH SIX
ROTARY SAW BLADES
THAT ARE CARBIDE TIP
AND WE HAVE TWO
OPERATORS MONITORING
THEIR OPERATIONS
ALL THE TIME
THE OPERATION
IS TAKING PLACE.
THE IDEA HERE
IS TO GET
THE 5O BY 1OO
INCH PANELS CUT
DOWN PRECISELY...
TO 48 BY 96.
I WANT TO BE ABLE
TO DO THAT WITHIN
A VERY
NARROW TOLERANCE.
A 64th OF AN INCH
IS THE TOLERANCE
THAT I HAVE.
OK. SO THEY'RE ALL
THE SAME SIZE.
WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP?
THEY'LL BE SANDED.
LET'S GO TAKE A LOOK.
IT GETS PRETTY
NOISY IN HERE.
I GUESS YOU'RE
USED TO IT.
WHAT DOES THIS
LOOK LIKE, BOB?
IT LOOKS
LIKE A BELT FOR
THE BELT SANDER
FOR THE JOLLY
GREEN GIANT.
IT'S VERY SIMILAR
TO THE BELT
YOU HAVE AT HOME
FOR YOUR BELT
SANDER,
EXCEPT IT IS
5O INCHES WIDE
AND IT'S
SIX FEET LONG.
WHAT DO YOU PAY
FOR THIS?
IN THE QUANTITIES
THAT WE BUY THEM,
THEY'RE ONLY $5O.
WE BUT A LOT.
WHERE'S
THE SANDER ITSELF?
THE SANDER WE USE
IS BEHIND THESE
DOORS.
WE CAN OPEN IT?
GIGANTIC, BUT THAT'S
ONLY HITTING ONE SIDE
OF THE SHEET, RIGHT?
CORRECT. THAT IS
THREE SANDER HEADS
SANDING THE BOTTOM
OF THE PANEL.
BEHIND US,
FURTHER DOWN THE LINE,
IS AN IDENTICAL
SET OF SANDERS
INVERTED AND ON TOP,
TO SAND THE TOP HALF.
HOW MUCH ARE
YOU ACTUALLY TAKING
OFF THE PLYWOOD?
WE'RE TAKING OFF
AT MOST 1O,OOOths
OF AN INCH.
USUALLY, IT'S
MUCH, MUCH LESS.
IT'S REALLY JUST
SMOOTHING IT OFF?
IT IS.
WHAT ABOUT
QUALITY CONTROL?
ANNIE IS OUR QUALITY
CONTROL GRADER.
HERE, SHE'S USING
THREE MIRRORS TO
LOOK AT
ALL SIX EDGES
OF EACH PANEL.
SHE'LL DETERMINE
A GRADE AND THEN
DROP THE PANELS
INTO ONE OF
SIX BINS.
BOB, THIS IS THE END
OF THE SANDER LINE.
THE PANELS FALL
INTO BINS, DEPENDING
ON WHAT GRADE THEY ARE.
THERE ARE SIX
BINS HERE.
IN THIS
PARTICULAR BIN,
WE'RE FINDING
OUR HIGHEST GRADE
OF BIRCH PLYWOOD,
A-1 STAMPED OVER HERE
ON THAT SIDE.
THE GRADER'S
NAME IS ALSO
STAMPED ON IT.
THAT'S HOW PROUD
WE ARE OF OUR
PLYWOOD.
TERRIFIC.
FROM HERE IT GOES
TO THE WAREHOUSE?
THAT'S RIGHT.
THANKS FOR THE TOUR,
BRUCE.
YOU CAN HAVE YOUR
SAFETY GOGGLES BACK.
THANK YOU.
STICK AROUND. WE'LL BE RIGHT
BACK AFTER THESE MESSAGES.
OK, THEY'RE PUTTING
THE FINISHING TOUCHES
ON THE DECK
ON THE BEAUTIFUL
FARMER'S PORCH,
ALMOST COMPLETE
AND LOOKING REAL GOOD.
WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME,
BUT I DID WANT TO THANK
OUR FRIENDS
AT GEORGIA PACIFIC
IN SAVANNAH, GEORGIA,
FOR THEIR WONDERFUL
SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY.
COME HOME AGAIN NEXT TIME
WHEN WE'LL CREATE
A SUNBURST FAN DETAIL
IN THE DORMER WALL.
WE'LL TAKE YOU INSIDE
TO THAT BATHROOM
TO PUT DOWN THE 4 BY 4
CERAMIC TILE,
LAYING DOWN A THIN SET BASE,
AND IN THE DECK ON THE BACKSIDE
OFF THE MASTER BEDROOM,
WHERE WE'RE TAKING PRECAUTIONS
TO WATERPROOF THINGS
SINCE IT'S THE KITCHEN CEILING,
WE'LL BE SHOWING YOU HOW
TO PUT DOWN A SIMILAR DECK.
UNTIL THEN,
I'M BOB VILA.
IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU
HOME AGAIN.
