Kevin O’Connor visits a North Georgia factory to follow the steps of making luxury vinyl plank flooring, from mixing ground PVC and limestone to boxing up specially cut planks with digitally printed wood grain.
Back in Walpole, Massachusetts, that flooring is installed throughout the new accessory dwelling unit, while the main house gets unfinished engineered white oak.
Zack Dettmore joins carpenter Adrian and homeowner Dan in the new mudroom to lay out and build MDF board-and-batten wainscoting for a durable, paint-ready finish.
In the basement, the electrician explains there will be a 400-amp service feeding separate panels for the main house and ADU, and then he installs a smart lighting system with smart switches, wireless remotes, and an app that controls outdoor porch and sconce lights and low-voltage step lighting.
