An advanced mosquito trap keeps up to an acre of area clear of the bloodsucking pests. New tools include a laser measuring device, a painting system and a magnetic wristband to keep small tools close at hand. A caffeine-laced soap makes your morning shower more exhilarating.

Dean and Derek give a bland basement room a rock solid focal point. Using real stone veneer, they transform a plain bar island into a rustic seating area that adds interest and color to an otherwise boring space. They shore it with asphalt paper and metal lathe, demonstrate how to mix mud and sort the stones to maximize ratio and color — while giving tips on how to shape stone, control joint size and what tools to use for a professional final product.
