It's always good to see Kevin giving an extra hand around the job site. At the beginning of the episode he's helping Mark shape and place stone. Later, he's helping Tommy set up a barrel ceiling. Just because he's the host, doesn't mean he can't work. Every little bit helps. As the saying goes, "Many hands make light work."

You're the man Tommy, I was a drywall hanger for 28 years & hung many barrel ceilings and never had one go that easy, most of the time we would wet the drywall to make it more bendable. Great job.👍🏻 And love the two sticks trick, wish I knew that back in the day.

That" "Stick trick" has been around for as long carpentry has been around. Look up framing square circle. It is the same thing just that he used an obtuse angle instead of a right angle. I did the same thing when I was working on a jobsite and the metal framers were standing there trying to figure out how to get the correct arc. Did the exact same thing. before they even had one idea on how to do it I already have the template done. I ended up doing the metal framing for all the windows in that building.

I was excited to see a real adaptation of geometry used to create the ellipse for the barrel-vaulted ceiling! If you tie a piece of string around both nails, you can push the string upwards using a pencil such that it becomes relatively taut and follow it from nail to nail to create an ellipse! That way you don’t have to worry about the jig if you’re a one-man team. Awesome to see this used in an everyday situation. These guys are the best.

See that wall-mounted toilet at 9:15? We have the Toto version, with a heated seat and the bidet feature. Great toilet; however, pay extra special attention to the mounting height WITH the toilet seat in place. Our contractor mounted it with the top of the porcelain basin at ‘comfort-height’ level, but he failed to calculate the additional height when the toilet seat was installed. We were barely able to touch the floor (At 5’-8” we were on tiptoes!) when seated on the toilet. The contractor had to tear out the tiled wall and drywall behind this device to lower it to a more useable height for us. Contractor’s plumber’s error = contractor’s expense. This ‘fix’ was necessary, as our house was designed and built for aging in place.

Even LED lights that were on buses since the 90's and touchscreens been around since the 80's. GPS is old news when it finally came out after it was invented by the Navy. It's the most practical items you think is so cool and high tech, that is mostly old and been around for decades without anyone really knowing it. Also this show is cool, but not for the practical homeowner. I own a home and it seems this show aims for people that make well over six figures each from a couple when they work on a house. I wish they made it more for the everyday homeowner, but I guess they do when they jump on a 8 hour flight, and drive to a small town to help someone that has a window that won't open all the way and then make a 5 minute video over it..🤔🤔😕😕😕
