1111 - Working on the Kitchen
November 13-19, 2000 | May 14-20, 2001
HI, I'M BOB VILA.
WELCOME HOME AGAIN
TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF I'ON
RIGHT OUTSIDE OF
C H A R L E S T O N , S O U T H C A R O L I N A ,
WHERE OUR LOW-COUNTRY STYLE
HOUSE IS VERY FAR ALONG.
TODAY, NORTHLAND REFRIGERATION
UNITS ARE ARRIVING,
NOT JUST A REFRIGERATOR
BUT ALSO A WINE COOLER
AND A BUILT-IN HUMIDOR.
ALSO, RYLEY'S HERE TO HELP US
PUT TOGETHER THE CABINETS
FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT UNIT
AND UPSTAIRS WE'LL BE PUTTING
SOME PAINT ON THE WALLS
USING HISTORIC CHARLESTON
COLLECTION PAINT.
STICK AROUND. IT'S GOOD
TO HAVE YOU
HOME AGAIN.
CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE
BY SEARS
LET'S GET STARTED WITH
OUR GENERAL CONTRACTOR
K E V I N K A L MA N .
HI, BOB.
HEY, KEVIN.
THIS IS LOOKING GOOD.
WE'RE FINALLY GETTING
CABINETS IN PLACE.
WE'RE SETTING THEM TODAY,
AND UH, HOPE TO HAVE
THEY'RE CHERRY,
WITH THE ARLINGTON
FINISH ON THEM BY DEC
SOME APPLIANCES
SHOW UP HERE
IN A LITTLE BIT.
ARE THEY CHERRY?
BEAUTIFUL CABINETRY.
VERY NICE.
THAT'S A PRETTY BIG
DRAWER YOU PUT IN HERE.
DOVETAIL DRAWERS,
UH, JUST HARDWOOD.
JUST REALLY NICE--
NICE PRODUCT.
NOW THIS IS THE PART
OF THE KITCHEN THAT'S
DESIGNED TO BE
EITHER A SECONDARY KITCHEN
IF YOU USE THIS PART
OF THE HOUSE
AS AN IN-LAW SUITE,
OR IN THIS CASE,
IT'S GONNA BE, LIKE,
A BUTLER'S PANTRY, RIGHT?
THAT'S CORRECT.
WE'RE GONNA BE USING IT
AS A BUTLER'S PA
WITH A FREEZER,
A WINE COOLER,
A DISHWASHER,
AND AN ICE MAKER.
OK. AND WHAT KIND
OF COUNTERTOPS ARE
GOING IN HERE?
THESE ARE GONNA BE
GRANITE, ABSOLUTE BLACK.
OK. WELL, THIS IS
BEAUTIFUL STUFF.
I NOTICE THEY COME THROUGH
WITHOUT THE GLASS IN THEM.
THEY DON'T SHIP
THE GLASS. I CAN
UNDERSTAND WHY.
WE JUST BUY THE GLASS
LOCALLY AND INSTALL
IT OURSELVES.
RIGHT.
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA
BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE
TO WORRY ABOUT BREAKAGE.
LET'S GO IN HERE
AND SEE WHAT THEY'RE
D O I N G W I T H T H E U H --
THE REST OF THE PANELS.
NOW THIS IS AN END PANEL
FOR WHERE THE REFRIGERATION
UNIT IS GOING?
THAT'S CORRECT.
AND WHAT ARE WE
GLUING AT THE LAST MINUTE?
DAWN'S GLUING UP
THE BISCUITS.
WE'RE PUTTING A FILLER
ON THE END OF THIS
REFRIGERATOR PANEL.
AND WE'LL INSTALL IT
STANDARD VERTICAL
AND TACK IT IN PLACE.
NOW, IS THE FILLER BECAUSE
WE NEEDED THE EXTRA HEIGHT
FOR THIS REFRIGERATION
EQUIPMENT?
THESE ARE TALL
CEILINGS, 10 FOOT,
SO WE NEED A FULL
8 FOOT HEIGHT PANEL.
BOY, THAT IS TALL.
AND THEN IT'S GOING
RIGHT UP AGAINST
THOSE BLOCKS.
EDDIE WILL HOLD IT
IN PLACE AND DAWN'LL
JUST TACK IT.
AND THEN
FROM THE OUTSIDE,
WE CAN JUST
TACK IT IN PLACE.
[SOUND OF LOUD TACKING]
THESE NORTHLAND
REFRIGERATOR UNITS,
I GUESS THEY'RE
BASICALLY COMMERCIAL
EQUIPMENT, RIGHT?
THAT'S CORRECT.
AND I LIKE THE FACT
THAT IT'S ALL COMPONENTS.
THIS THE POWER MODULE.
AND IT JUST COMES ALONG.
HAND IT UP TO REGGIE
AND LET HIM SNAP IT
INTO PLACE.
SO THAT THE POWER MODULE,
THE COMPRESSOR AND EVERYTHING
ARE IN T H I S B O X .
THIS BOX.
YOU SET IT ON TOP
OF THE...
THE REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER
BUT YOU CAN ORDER THESE
IN ANY CONFIGURATION
YOU WANT, RIGHT?
THAT'S CORRECT.
THEY REALLY WILL MAKE
THEM TO WHAT YOU WANT
THE CONFIGURATION TO BE.
THIS ONE IS
TWO REFRIGERATORS
AND A FREEZER
ON THE TOP
LEFT-HAND CORNER.
SO THAT THIS WILL BE
A FREEZER, SHELVES,
ICE MAKER. REALLY, REALLY
NICE CONSTRUCTION.
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT
IS THEY GET OVER TWO INCHES
OF RIGID INSULATION
IN THIS WHOLE BOX.
BIG RIGID BOX.
AND WHEN YOU'VE GOT
THAT MUCH INSULATION
YOU KNOW THAT
THE EFFICIENCY OF THE UNIT'S
GONNA BE REALLY HIGH.
THIS IS ALSO
FREEZER STORAGE?
THAT'S REFRIGERATOR
ON THIS SIDE.
THIS IS REFRIGERATOR.
AND THEN THIS IS ALL
REFRIGERATOR ON THIS SIDE.
OK. NICE AND SIMPLE.
YOU KNOW?
BUT REAL, REAL
QUALITY CONSTRUCTION.
HEAVY DUTY BRACKETS
AND STANDARDS
AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
SO IF YOU HAVE TO DO
SERVICE ON THIS,
OR IF YOU, YOU KNOW,
20 YEARS DOWN THE LINE
IF SOMETHING WENT WRONG
WITH THE COMPRESSOR,
YOU JUST REPLACE
THE COMPRESSOR AND YOU KEEP
T H E U N I T , RI G H T ?
THAT'S CORRECT.
AND IT'S EASY ENOUGH
THAT A HOME OWNER COULD
DO IT THEMSELVES,
IF NEED BE.
NOW THIS GOES HERE
IN THE PRINCIPAL KITCHEN,
BUT THERE'S ALSO
A WINE UNIT YOU SAID?
THAT'S CORRECT,
WITH A CIGAR HUMIDOR.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK
AT THAT. YEAH.
WELL, KEVIN, THIS UNIT
IS STRICTLY FOR WINE STORAGE
AND I HEARD THAT ALSO,
CIGAR STORAGE?
THAT'S CORRECT.
THERE WE GO.
AND THEN THIS, OF COURSE,
HAS TO BE PLUMBED UP.
BUT LET'S OPEN IT UP
AND TAKE A LOOK.
YOU'VE GOT ROOM HERE
FOR SEVERAL CASES
OF WINE.
NICE DISPLAY.
AND THEN,
WHAT'S THIS UNIT HERE?
YOU HAVE A CIGAR
HUMIDOR, BOB.
IT FITS IN HERE.
IT'S GOT A LITTLE
HUMIDIFIER THAT
W E H A V E N ' T U N P A C K E D Y ET
THAT FITS IN THERE.
SO YOU CAN KEEP
CIGARS IN HERE?
THAT'S CORRECT.
AS WELL AS FINE WINES.
AND IT'S GOT
SOME DISPLAY RACKS
THAT'LL PULL OUT.
SO THIS IS JUST ONE
OF SEVERAL NORTHLAND UNITS
THAT ARE GOING INTO
THE BUTLER'S PANTRY, RIGHT?
THAT'S CORRECT,
WE HAVE A FULL-SIZE
FREEZER,
AND WE HAVE
AN UNDER-COUNTER
ICE MAKE STILL TO COME,
A DISHWASHER
BY WHIRLPOOL,
AND SOME GRANITE
COUNTERTOPS
AND SOME GLASS.
OK, AND THEN WE'LL
BE DONE IN HERE.
LET'S GO BACK AND PUSH
THAT OTHER UNIT IN PLACE.
NOW, HOW DO YOU COVER UP
ALL THE--WELL, THE POWER
MODULE
UP THERE?
THAT'S GOOD, GUYS.
THANK YOU.
WE'RE GONNA USE
THESE PIECES HERE,
WE'RE GONNA USE--
WE'LL START WITH
THIS PANEL
THAT FITS OVER
THE TOP.
THE PANEL WILL
FIT IN HERE.
AND I'LL COVER
THE POWER MODULE.
AND THIS PANEL ALLOWS
THE MODULE TO BE
REMOVED AFTERWARDS
FOR SERVICE.
AND INSIDE THAT PANEL
WILL BE ANOTHER
DECORATIVE PANEL
WITH A PIECE
OF STAINLESS STEEL.
BUT WHAT ABOUT
FOR THE REST?
IS THERE ANOTHER
WOODEN PIECE THAT
GOES UP THERE?
WE ADD A WOODEN FILLER
THAT'S FITS IN
UNDERNEATH THERE.
AND WE'LL BE ADDING
THAT IN A LITTLE WHILE.
GREAT. LET'S TALK ABOUT
THE REST OF THE KITCHEN
'CAUSE THIS IS THE MAIN
OPERATING KITCHEN.
THAT WAS THE PANTRY,
AS WE'RE CALLING IT.
IS THE STOVE OVER THERE?
WE'LL GET A STOVE
IN HERE, 36 INCH WIDE
WITH A PROFESSIONAL
HOOD OVER THE TOP,
A WALL OVEN
AND A MICROWAVE.
OK, A WALL OVEN,
MICROWAVE, PANTRY
CABINETS IN THIS CORNER,
PLENTY OF DRAWERS.
YEAH, THAT'S VERY NICE.
AND WHAT GOES THERE?
A DISHWASHER.
DISHWASHER AND A SINK.
THIS IS THE KOHLER
SINK WITH "THE ONE
THAT COOKS."
ALL RIGHT, WE'LL SEE
THAT NEXT WEEK.
NEXT, THE PAINTERS WILL BE
USING HISTORIC CHARLESTON COLORS
ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
SO STICK AROUND.
WE HAVEN'T SPENT MUCH TIME
ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF
OUR HO
USE HERE.
AND THIS, OF COURSE,
IS THE ONLY STAIRCASE
WHICH IS STILL PROTECTED.
WE INSTALLED THAT
A FEW WEEKS AGO,
AND IN FACT
IF YOU'LL RECALL,
IT'S PRE-FABRICATED STAIRS.
WE DON'T HAVE OUR SPINDLES
AND OUR HAND RAILS
IN PLACE YET.
BUT ON THE SECOND FLOOR,
THERE ARE THREE BEDROOMS
AND TW
THIS IS THE LARGER ONE,
WHICH HAS A WALK-IN CLOSET
AND AO BATHS.
AND A VERY TALL PAINTER.
RICHARD IS 6' 9" TALL,
SO HE HARDLY EVER USES
A LADDER.
THE NICE COLOR IN HERE
IS CALLED CORNMEAL,
AND IT'S FROM THE HISTORIC
CHARLESTON PAINT COLLECTION.
AND IT REALLY, REALLY
IMPACTS THE EYE
WITH THIS PARTICULAR
TRIM COLOR.
AND THEN EVERYTHING
THAT WE SEE AROUND HERE
IS CALLED GIBBES WHARF,
WHICH IS NAMED AFTER ONE OF
THE HISTORIC HOUSES HERE.
AND YOU CAN SEE IT'S A VERY
NEUTRAL KIND OF BEIGE.
BUT, IT TOO HAS AN IMPACT.
IS THAT A LATEX?
UH, YEAH, BOB,
IT IS A LATEX.
OK. SO IS IT GONNA BE
A FLAT OR A SEMI?
NO, IT'LL BE AN EGGSHELL.
AN EGGSHELL.
YEAH, IT'S WASHABLE.
IT'S REAL DURABLE.
REAL GOOD MATERIAL
TO USE.
ESPECIALLY IN
BATHROOMS AND KITCHENS,
AN EGGSHELL IS ALWAYS
A GOOD CHOICE
BECAUSE IT DOES
WASH DOWN PRETTY WELL.
LOOK AT THAT.
OK, AND THEN THE NEXT
ROOM OVER TO THE LEFT
IS REALLY ONE OF
TWO ROOMS THAT ARE
MORE OR LESS
AIMED AT BEING
CHILDREN'S ROOMS
BECAUSE OF THE SIZE.
BUT NICE CORNER
LOCATIONS, TWO WINDOWS,
AND PLENTY OF
VENTILATION.
AND IN THE THIRD BEDROOM,
WHICH IS PAINTED GREEN,
WE'LL FIND MATT GREEN,
OUR PAINTING CONTRACTOR.
HEY, HOW ARE YOU?
GETTING IT ALL DONE
AT ONCE, HUH?
OH, YEAH.
ALL RIGHT, NOW THIS
COLOR HERE IS CALLED UH--
WHAT WAS IT--ROMNEY?
THIS IS ROMNEY.
IT'S ANOTHER ONE OF
THE HISTORIC CHARLESTON
COLLECTION.
IT'S VERY NICE.
KIND OF LIKE A SAGEY GREEN.
SO YOU'RE ABOUT
TO GET STARTED ON
THE WOODWORK,
BUT I KNOW THAT
YOU'VE GOT A SUGGESTION
ON MAKING YOUR OWN
PAINT PAILS.
WELL BASICALLY,
WHAT WE DO
IS WE TAKE A CAN,
WE TAKE A 5 IN 1,
WHICH IS
A PAINTER'S TOOL--
NOW LOOK HERE FIRST,
'CAUSE THE IDEA IS TO
HAVE A PAINT PAIL
THAT DOESN'T HAVE
A RIM OR AN EDGE
AT THE TOP.
AND THAT WAY YOU CAN
JUST DAB YOUR PAINT BRUSH
A G A I N S T TH E S I D E S
AND THERE'S NO
BUILD-UP AND DRIPPING
OVER THE SIDES.
BUT YOU'RE GETTING RID
OF THE RIM ALTOGETHER.
HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT?
BASICALLY, WE JUST
GO AHEAD AND TAKE
THE CAN AND OPEN
NORMALLY WHEN
IT'S EMPTY.
IT UP--
GO AHEAD AND SLIDE
THE 5 IN 1 AT AN ANGLE.
THAT'S THAT PARTICULAR
KIND OF PUTTY KNIFE.
MM-HMM.
IT'S MADE FOR GLAZING
ON THE OUTSIDE.
AND WE JUST CUT IT.
BASICALLY,
IT COMES RIGHT OFF.
JUST DROP YOUR WEIGHT
INTO IT.
IT LOOKS LIKE A BIG
OVERSIZED CAN OPENER.
BASICALLY, THE RIM
COMES OFF KINDA
LIKE THAT.
AND IT LEAVES
A NICE CLEAN EDGE SO
WE CAN PAINT BETTER.
WONDERFUL.
SO THE TRIM--
OR RATHER THE SASH--
DOUBLE HUNG 2 OVER 2
SASH IS WHAT WE GOT HERE--
AND THE CASING,
THE SURROUND,
ARE READY TO GO.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
SO FAR?
BASICALLY, WE'VE
CAULKED AND PUTTIED
A N D P R I M E D E V E R Y T H IN G .
NOW WE'RE GONNA COME
THROUGH AND GO AHEAD
AND SAND EVERYTHING
DOWN, TACK CLOTH IT.
OK. WELL, GO AHEAD
AND WE'LL WATCH.
OK. I'VE ALREADY
FINISHED THIS
WINDOW HERE.
I'LL GO AHEAD
AND TACK IT DOWN.
AND THEN BASICALLY
I'M GONNA START
PAINTING IT.
WHAT DOES THE TACK DO?
IT GETS ALL THE LOOSE
DEBRIS AND DUST UP
SO WE DON'T HAVE
ANY DIRT OR ANY GRIME.
BUT IT'S NOT A T-SHIRT
AND IT'S NOT A WET CLOTH.
NO, IT'S MORE LIKE A RAG
THAT HAS A POLY BUILT
INTO IT.
IT'S VERY STICKY.
YEAH, IT'S
A STICKY CLOTH.
AND IT REALLY
MAKES SURE THAT ALL
THE PARTICLES OF DUST
SURE DOES.
ARE PICKED UP.
BEFORE YOU PUT
ANY PAINT ON,
WHICH ASSURES THAT
YOU'LL GET A NICE
SMOOTH, EVEN FINISH.
SO WE CAN SAND IT OUT
AFTER WE'VE ALREADY
PAINTED.
WE FINISH
DUSTING IT OFF,
GETTING THE TACK
CLOTH ON IT.
NOW, DO YOU START
P AINTING AT THE TOP
OR AT THE BOTTOM?
I START AT THE TOP.
I GO FROM LEFT
TO RIGHT UP TOP
AND BRING THE WINDOW
DOWN AS I GO.
I GO FROM THIS WAY
AND THIS WAY.
SO BASICALLY,
I'LL GO AHEAD
AND DO THAT NOW.
THIS WAY I ONLY HAVE
TO MOVE MY LADDER
ONE TIME.
NOW, MATT, DO YOU
ALSO PAINT THE SASH
AT THE SAME TIME
THAT YOU'RE PAINTING
THE FRAME?
NORMALLY, IF WE HAVE
WOODEN SASHES,
WE'LL GO AHEAD
AND PAINT THEM FIRST.
BUT IF IN A CASE
LIKE THIS ONE,
THEY'RE VINYL,
WE JUST GO AHEAD
AND RUN THE OUTSIDE
FRAMES.
BUT IF THEY ARE WOOD,
WE'LL HAVE TO GO AHEAD
AND RUN THOSE FIRST.
WHY IS THAT?
IT JUST SEEMS
TO BE EASIER.
IT SEEMS LIKE THAT'S
ONE OF THE BIGGER JOBS
IS THERE'S SO MANY
WINDOW SASHES IN
A HOUSE
THAT IT TAKES
A LOT OF TIME.
SO WE GO AHEAD
AND KNOCK THAT
OUT FIRST.
IT MAKES IT EASIER
JUST TO TRIM OUT
THE WINDOW
AND HAVE
A COMPLETE LOOK.
MATT, ANY TIPS ON
HOW BEST TO ACHIEVE
THAT CLEAN EDGE
WHEN YOU'RE CUTTING
IN LIKE THAT?
WELL, YOU REALLY JUST
GOTTA BE REAL CAREFUL
WHEN THE WALLS ARE
PAINTED ALREADY.
ONE TIP THAT
I DO HAVE, THOUGH,
IS WHEN YOU'RE DONE
PUTTING YOUR FINISH
COATS ON
AND THE HOUSE
IS ALL COMPLETE,
TO GO AHEAD AND PUT
A FINISH BEAD OF CAULK
IN THE AREAS.
BECAUSE IT LEAVES
A STRAIGHT LINE
AND IT SEPARATES
THE WALL FROM THE TRIM.
SO IF YOU HAVE ANY
WAVY MARKS ON EITHER
OF THE PAINT COLORS,
IT MAKES A STRAIGHT,
NICE EDGE.
IT'S ALSO GOOD
NOT TO OVERLOAD YOUR BRUSH
WHEN YOU'RE DOING THIS.
LOOKS GOOD.
THANK YOU.
GO TO...
FOR MORE TIPS ON
PAINTING YOUR HOME.
NEXT TIME ON...
WORK CONTINUES ON
OUR SOUTH CAROLINA
LOW COUNTRY STYLE HOUSE.
NORTHLAND REFRIGERATION
UNITS WILL ARRIVE,
INCLUDING NOT JUST
A REFRIGERATOR AND FREEZER,
BUT ALSO A WINE COOLER
WITH A BUILT-IN HUMIDOR.
BOB RYLEY AND GENERAL
CONTRACTOR KEVIN KALMAN
WILL BE ASSEMBLING
THE CABINETS
FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT
CENTER IN THE FAMILY ROOM.
AND WE'LL BE USING HISTORIC
CHARLESTON COLLECTION PAINT.
UPSTAIRS, THE BEDROOMS
GET A COAT OF PAINT
SO DON'T MISS IT.
THAT'S NEXT TIME
HOME AGAIN.
NEXT TIME ON...
IT'S A WINE COOLER
AND HUMIDOR,
INTERIOR PAINT,
AND RYLEY ASSEMBLES
THE ENTERTAINMENT CENTER.
DON'T MISS IT.
WELL, WE'RE IN
THE FAMILY ROOM
WHERE WE'RE GONNA BE
HANGING SOME CABINETS.
AND KEVIN, CAN YOU
TELL US A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT
WHAT CABINETS
WE GOT GOING HERE?
WE'VE GOT AN ENTERTAINMENT
CENTER WE'RE PUTTING
T O G E T H E R, B O B ,
WITH OUR DECORA
CABINETRY.
AND AS YOU CAN SEE
ON THE PLAN,
WE'VE GOT
SOME BASE CABINETS
TO FIT DOWN
IN THROUGH HERE,
ALL INDIVIDUAL UNITS
THAT WE'LL PUT TOGETHER.
AND UP TOP, OUR TV
FITS IN THE MIDDLE SECTION
WITH SOME SHELVING
ON EACH SIDE.
OK, I GUESS THAT'S
WHY WE'VE GOT THIS
LITTLE JOG HERE,
JUST SO THAT WE'VE
GOT A NICE, BIG
CABINET HERE
TO SUPPORT
THAT TELEVISION.
BIGGER TVs EVERY YEAR.
YEAH. REALLY.
OK, SO UH--
WHAT WE'VE ALREADY DONE
IS SET THE CABINET
BASES IN PLACE
BECAUSE WE'VE GOT
A TOE KICK THAT
WE WANT TO PUT
UNDERNEATH THESE.
AND WE'VE ALREADY
SCRIBED A LINE.
WE WANNA SCRIBE A LINE
ON THE FLOOR HERE.
ONCE WE'VE DONE THAT,
WE'LL PULL THESE OUT
AND THEN WE'RE GONNA
BUILD A TOE KICK
THREE INCHES
BACK OF THAT LINE.
THAT'S OUR NEXT MOVE.
THESE CABINETS
ALL CAME SEPARATE.
WE TOOK THESE TWO
END ONES AND PUT
THEM TOGETHER
JUST TO MAKE THEM
EASIER TO MANEUVER.
OK, WE'VE GOT THIS
THREE INCH MATERIAL.
AND WE'LL
JUST USE THAT,
LAY IT ON OUR LINE
WE JUST PUT ON THE FLOOR.
THAT'S GONNA BE
THE POINT AT WHICH
WE BUILD OUR TOE KICK.
SO THAT WHEN WE'RE DONE,
OUR TOE KICK WILL BE
UP LIKE THÁ
AND THEN HERE'S
OUR FACE OF OUR
CABINET--WILL BE
OUT TAT,
OK, THESE TOE KICK
PIECES ARE REALLY
DECORATIVE
THAT ARE GONNA GO
ON THE FACE.
WHAT'S GONNA HOLD UP
THE CABINET
ARE THESE 2 BY'S
THAT WE'VE RIPPED DOWN.
ACTUALLY, THEY'RE
4 1/4 INCHES WIDE
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
THE TOE KICK IS.
WE'VE RIPPED THEM
OUT OF 2 X 6s.
AND WE'RE GONNA
PUT THEM RIGHT WHERE
ALL OF THE JOINTS ARE.
THAT'S GONNA HELP US
PULL THE JOINTS
TOGETHER, AS WELL.
THAT'S THAT.
THIS PIECE HERE
IS A FACE PIECE.
THIS IS THE LAST PIECE
WE'LL BE PUTTING ON
FOR THE TOE KICK.
OK, I'M GONNA
GET IT CENTERED.
I HAVE 18 1/2 INCHES
TO THE STUD
WHICH IS ON THIS SIDE
OF THE ELECTRICAL BOX.
I MEASURE UP HERE
TO THE TOP.
SAME MEASUREMENT.
I KNOW OUR STUDS
ARE 16 INCH ON CENTER.
I'LL PULL OVER 32.
THAT'LL GIVE ME
MY FIRST DETACHING POINT
AND ANOTHER 16 INCHES,
ANOTHER ATTACHING POINT
TO THE BACK OF THAT CABINET.
YOU'RE JUST DRILLING
HOLES IN THE CORNERS
SO YOU CAN GET
THE JIG SAW BLADE
IN THERE?
IF WE DRILL 4 HOLES,
WE CAN ACTUALLY HIT IT
WITH THE SMALL
CIRCULAR SAW.
OH, GOOD.
BOY, THOSE LITTLE SAWS
COME IN HANDY.
IF THAT'S IN
THE RIGHT SPOT,
WE SHOULD BE ABLE
TO FIT THIS RIGHT IN.
GO AHEAD.
OH, YEAH.
OK, NOW WE'RE READY
TO PUT THESE TOPS DOWN.
WE'VE ALREADY GONE
AHEAD AND PUT IN
SOME 3/4 INCH
FURRING STRIPS.
SO THEY'RE GONNA BUILD
THIS UP 1 1/2 INCHES.
SO THAT ONCE WE GET
THIS TOP DOWN...
WE'LL BE FACING IT OFF
WITH A NICE PIECE
O F T R I M 1 1 / 2 IN C H E S .
IT'LL GO
RIGHT ON THE FACE,
JUST LIKE THAT.
OK, READY FOR THIS?
ALL SET.
HOW'RE WE LOOKING?
WHOOPS.
OK, NOW, WE WANNA
PULL THESE CABINETS
TOGETHER.
WE'RE GONNA USE
THESE CLAMPS.
AND I'M GONNA PUT
A PILOT HOLE IN HERE,
AND TRY TO HIT THIS STYLE
FROM THIS SIDE.
THAT FELT LIKE
IT GRABBED.
OK, AND WE'RE JUST
GONNA PUT 3 SCREWS
IN HERE.
OK, WELL NOW,
THE LAST THING TO DO
IS THE CROWN MOLDING,
BUT WE CAN DO THAT
NEXT WEEK.
BOY, THAT LOOKS
TERRIFIC, DOESN'T IT?
GREAT ENTERTAINMENT CENTER.
WE'LL BE BACK IN A MOMENT
WITH A PREVIEW
OF OUR NEXT SHOW.
WELL, THIS PLACE
IS ALMOST FINISHED,
BUT THAT'S A WRAP FOR TODAY.
HOME AGAIN
NEXT TIME
WHEN WE'LL BE INSTALLING
BEAUTIFUL RECLAIMED PINE FLOORS,
ADDING FINAL TOUCHES
TO THE STAIRCASE,
AND WE'LL BE TOURING
THE FINISHED UPSTAIRS BEDROOMS
FURNISHED WITH BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE
A N D R E P R O D U C T I O N F U R N I T U RE .
UNTIL THEN, I'M BOB VILA.
IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU
HOME AGAIN.
