Bob helps Ryley assemble and install bookshelves for the den at the ranch house remodel on Lake Cochituate. Ryley shows bob how to scribe the trim on site. Back at the shop Bob goes over the pieces and cuttings of the custom birch bookshelf unit and making a storyboard for the layout of holes for adjustable shelving.

In the loft, we put together a metal shelving system from InterMetro that's sturdy enough for industrial use. The boat arrives on a hydraulic trailer and is prepped for winter storage.

Bob and Ryley install an resturaunt quality Braun oven hood vent to compensate for the lack of exhaust outside the building. The fan is equipped with two charcoal filters on either side of the exhaust fan in addition to the grease filters. The range will be vented inside the room, and the hood is the best possible solution. Also installed are Metrowire shelves.

Attaching heavy-duty industrial shelves to concrete or cinder block walls requires special tools and fasteners.

Bob and Ed Weller check out the kitchen pantry and the open shelves made of Surell. A unique pantry shelving system is used to maixmize the kitchen storage. The Surell shelves are installed without any visible cleats or supports to maintain a clean look.

In this episode, Bob and Chris Vila are installing a Mahogany windowsill. It has been precut with a cleat and bevel to make the installation easier. The sills are large enough to be shelves, a nice characteristic of older construction techniques. Bob helps carpenter Abel Lopez of Two Trees Development install a piece of pre-primed Poplar molding to the floor edge with a butane-powered finish nailer and a wood adhesive. To aid in the construction timeline many trim pieces in this job are precut and pre-primed from the lumberyard. In the closet, Lopez is attaching shelving and trim as a closet organizer. As a nod to mid-century home design, Birch colored, hollow-core, flush sliding closet doors are added. They are easy to install and don't require the framing of a standard door or the complex installation of a pocket door.

The interior of this home, like most of the homes built in the 1920s, had very little storage space. Chloe Durant of California Closets reviews some of the changes made to the house to improve the storage space. Before the renovation, the boys' room featured lots of little containers for toys which made the room feel cluttered. In an effort to expand toy storage space and add space for work, a two-section desk was installed. Bookshelves and drawer space were included with the desk. Some bookshelves include baskets for toy storage. A door was removed from a pre-existing closet, the interior was painted, and display shelves were installed. A bunk bed from Levitz.com was put in the children's room, which helped open up more space. The master bedroom was also furnished with products bought online.

Closets and storage areas with piles of stacked-up belongings can be quickly transformed into neat, clean storage spaces using easy-to-install closet organizer systems.

Whether you are hanging bookshelves or breaking through the wall, you have got to know where the studs are inside it. There are three ways to find wall studs: 1) Sound it out; you should here a solid thunk when you hit a stud. 2) Look for nails along the baseboard. They are usually driven at stud intervals. 3) Use a magnetic finding device or "stud finder". It will zero in on the nails or screws that fix the wall to the stud.

Bob moves on to the master bathroom and reviews the work already completed. Shelving has been installed as has paneling under the window. New double windows give a nice historic look. The windows have a historic look but hi-tech, with low-emissivity glass for improved energy efficiency. Bob then talks with Grant Garcia and Chris Dada of Sterling Surfaces who are installing a Corian tub surround. Garcia explains the caulking being applied has mildew resistance to prevent mildew that forms inside the seam between the soaking tub and the deck. Garcia explains that Corian is non-porous and won't support the growth of bacteria and mold. The Corian is custom fabricated to fit the tub. This custom fitting is done through a digital photo template system. A series of photos of the tub are taken, fed through a computer, and rendered into a CAD drawing for the cutting and construction of the tub deck. The Corian has been cut to accomodate the addition of a tile covering against the cementitious board on the back wall of the tub. The deck has a water damway to prevent water from getting through the base of the tiling, wicking up the drywall, or seeping into the wood in back of the cement boards. Garcia recommends using a tool when working with the caulking, as human hands can introduce bacteria that can cause problems.
