Expert stone masons and hosts Dean Marsico and Derek Stearns revitalize a lackluster tile kitchen floor with a heavy dose of thin (1/2-inch thick) multicolored flagstone. The beautiful quartzite flagstone comes with a mesh backing, which makes it as easy to install as tile. It may not be the first thing that comes to mind for kitchen floors, but with a remarkably simple installation process and the benefits of natural stone, this irregular shaped flagging makes for a stunning — and affordable — kitchen upgrade.

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 construction crew discovers they are missing a crucial piece of the puzzle. Meanwhile, a young couple in Ventura, Calif., finding that the real estate market is too pricey, decides to build their own home — in one of their parents' backyards. 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."
