Mantel Troubles - The Carlisle House (S26E21)
S26E21
In the barn, Norm collaborates with chimney expert Mark Schaub to assess the safety and code compliance of the oak lintel above the fireplace. Meanwhile, Kevin gets a glimpse of the dining room's furniture and fabrics from interior designer Alexa Hampton. At Mark White's showroom, Kevin explores high-density polyurethane trim with millwork specialist Mark White, while Tom provides insight into the mechanical room's design. However, a surprise arises when Norm discovers that the fireplace fails its safety test, necessitating a switch from wood to a masonry lintel. Later, cabinet specialist Maureen MacDonald showcases the newly installed cabinets, and the day wraps up with the eagerly awaited built-ins for the library arriving.
