Anyone who has tried to put steps on a steep hillside knows that you need platforms in between those steps. Expert stone masons and hosts Dean Marsico and Derek Stearns show how this is done when they upgrade preexisting hillside granite steps by creating brand new platforms with canal street brick. First, they demo the existing dirt platforms — which is what most people have — and pour concrete footings. Over the footings — and as an artistic contrast to the granite — they set colorful canal street brick in a running bond pattern. As a finishing touch, they install outdoor lighting that transforms and illuminates a ramshackle step system into an elegant hillside walkway.
"I Want That" on Fine Living
Episode: "Wind Power, Adjustable Sofas, DIY Tools"

A residential wind generator may help ease the pain of high energy bills. Getting comfortable on the couch just got easier with a sofa that can adjust to every move. Plus, a quick car check-up and handy tools for the do-it-yourselfer.
