Home owner Johnny Zompanti has a problem. His nephew started a dry-stack stone wall in his backyard but never finished it. Stone masons Dean and Derek arrive to save the day and in the process demonstrate the proper way to install an old-fashioned-looking dry-stack wall using new palletized fieldstone. From the quarry to the job site, they provide insider tips on how to organize stone and build a solid wall that will last forever. They also incorporate three granite steps into the wall and demonstrate how to measure steps and cut the granite for proper installation.

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."
