Project: Framing the Porch and Installing a Shower

Bob helps contractor Bob Ryley hand-craft a medicine cabinet using a radial arm saw, Dado blade, router, screws, and carpenter’s glue.

Bob joins the plumber as he installs a shower stall in the kids’ bathroom. After drilling the drain hole, the plumber demonstrates how to properly attach a metal drain to a fiberglass shower stall to prevent leaks.

Bob discusses the process of building the farmer’s porch with contractor Larry Landers. The natural crowning of wood is discussed, as are methods for ensuring a level surface.
