As the project draws to a close, much work remains, so Tom “encourages” one of his men with a little swordplay! That’s a nod to the homeowner, an Olympic-level fencer. In back, Norm examines the custom made garage doors before returning to the house to discuss the high points of the kitchen cabinets and show how the cabinet maker installs floor moldings for perfect fit. Kevin and Tom transform a Masonite door into an oka door with veneer. Kevin goes upstairs to the new master bath, where tile contractor Joe Ferrante works to create a “carpet of tile.” Back downstairs, Norm talks with the kitchen designers about the counters and tiles, and finally, Kevin and Roger discuss irrigation of the backyard and ornamentals.

Episode Goofs
Tom unrolls oak veneer, saying it’s ten millimeters thick. That would be one centimeter thick, and far too stiff for rolling. Most likely, he means 10 mils, or 1/100th of an inch thick. The mil is a standard unit in the English system that is 1/1000th of an inch. It is used for specifying the thickness of sheets, films and foils and sometimes confused with the millimeter, which is much larger: 1 millimeter is about 39.3 mils.
