A Virginia home renovation reveals an architectural treasure hidden beneath years of bad additions. A North Carolina developer shows how he builds homes that appear to float over the mountains.

"Rock Solid" on DIY

Dean and Derek team up to rescue and revamp the firehouse patio of Engine 3 in Quincy, Mass. — turning an unsightly and rarely used space into a welcoming backyard and grilling area. The project calls for clearing out the area, installing a circular patio of concrete pavers and adding a stone walkway.

"Assembly Required" on DIY

In the rustic mountains of Beulah, Colo., Anne and Barring Coughlin want their own little cabin in the woods. So they go online, order a prefabricated cabin kit and hire some local framers to put it together. But they get off to a rocky start when the traditional crew discovers they are missing a crucial piece of the puzzle. Meanwhile, a young couple in Ventura, Calif. decides the real estate market is too pricey, so they decide to build their own home — in their parent's backyard. Find out if seasoned framers and a couple of do-it-yourselfers can put together a "build-by-numbers" cabin kit on this edition of "Assembly Required."
