The new kitchen space in the Miami condo has been opened up and brightened. Bob meets with LesCare cabinet representative Brad Brewster, of Princeton Custom Cabinetry, who explains the features of this semi-custom cabinet line. Bob has selected a standard white, contemporary style that features invisible hardware, undermount drawers, and edge-banded finishing that completely encases the fiberboard core. The cabinets look seamless, and almost completely eliminate off-gassing thanks to the edge-banded design. Brewster shows Bob the kitchen layout and the lazy Susan that spins 360 degrees to provide full access to the corner cupboard. Bob prices out the kitchen cabinetry and counters per running foot and finds it to be an affordable, elegant, easy-care solution for the getaway kitchen.

Bob Ryley installs a chair rail and replaces the glass in the doors of the dining room hutch. Ryley cuts the necessary pieces of railing using a coping saw to achieve an exact fit. Bob then describes the restoration and replication process of the corner cupboard. Danny Ruffini is busy glazing the cabinet doors, using a hot glue gun to secure the glass to the frame. Lastly, hinges are added and the doors are hung.

Bob Vila takes us from the shower that will also have a toilet and lavatory, through the dressing area with space reserved for a bench and cubby space, two small closets, and a sink and vanity. Brad Brewster of Princeton Custom Cabinetry joins Bob for the installation of a LesCare vanity that will be floated 12 inches above the floor, using a cross-braced configuration on the side wall, and a full cleat for support along the back. The floating installation was necessary because of the desired height of the vanity and the pipes that were detected in the walls. Brewster shows Bob the glued-dowel construction of the cabinets and the undermount hardware from Blum that will make all fasteners and cabinet hardware invisible once installed. Ernie Wernecke of Princeton Custom Cabinetry installs the vanity that has been pre-cut to accommodate plumbing, inserts drawers that were marked when removed for easy installation, and snaps on the doors of this lichen-green Formica-faced vanity.

Bob meets with Mark Van Sickle from Merillat who is installing hardware on the new semi-custom kitchen cabinets. The Merillat cabinet doors and face frames are solid cherry in a cider finish. The cabinet end panels can be specified by the homeowner or architect to either match the cabinet fronts or to be made of plywood. Mark has set up a drilling jig for drilling holes for hardware to keep all holes on the same 5-inch center. He shows us the contemporary profile stainless steel pulls that will be attached to the doors. This set of cabinets has an unusual setup; it consists of 3 wall cabinets stacked on top of each other and built up on a platform for a toekick. This is an unusual installation creating a whole wall of cabinets like a butler's pantry while saving money buy using standard overhead cabinets. Solid end panels will be added to cover the seams of the stacked cabinets. Bob and Mark move over to the other wall where they notice the orgonomics - the extra organizational features that can be added to cabinetry - including a built-in wastebasket, a pull-out for cooking oils, a sink tray for scouring pads and sponges, an under sink tote for cleaning supplies, and a dishtowel holder. The pantry unit also incorporates orgonomics with slide-out wire baskets that are easy to install and adjustable to different heights - perfect for dry goods, cans, and cereal.

Always attach the windowsill and the header first. It is much easier to cut the individual vertical pieces (mullions) to length with the sill and header in place. Dry fit each piece of wood before fastening it in place.

Painting is getting started on the exterior of the house in this episode, and Kevin TheBarge is on hand to show Bob the techniques they are using to paint the front fa ade.

Bob installs some interesting finishing touches in the coach house kitchen, including some galvanized steel features. We go outside to plant a tree and landscape the little garden outside our entryway, and Bob checks out the painting of the brick facade.
