Project: Installing a Staircase and Paneling

Bob helps contractor Bob Ryley cut and install stairs leading to the garage’s storage area. After securing the framework and stringers, the two move on to adding the riser and treads.

Landscape designer Ruth Foster explains a few techniques for promoting drainage and keeping weeds under control, respectively. She also discusses the plants she has chosen for the garage property, all of which are expected to thrive in Cape Cod.

Bob and contractor Bob Ryley install southern yellow pine plywood on the interior of the garage. On the exterior, Bob talks with Greg Binford about adding a stain to the red cedar siding.
