Dean and Derek, along with experts Jason Thoelke and Brandon Hobbes of Creative Concrete Solutions, install an acid-etched concrete floor in a kitchen. In the process, they learn that the road to concrete can be messy and multi-layered, especially if the demo of the existing floor is difficult. Through the process, they demonstrate how to properly prepare a sub floor for a concrete overlay, how to mix the ingredients for each level of finish, how to find the right tools to achieve the desired texture and how to stain the floor safely and with even color.

In this episode, the old trailer home gets revamped. Watch a Florida home go up in one day.

And follow the Roddey family as they push the envelope in the design of a manufactured home and get it built in record speed.
