  • Messy Makeshift Kitchen
  • From "DIY to the Rescue"
    episode DTTR-207


    Don and Stephanie Pickett's home was invaded by mold and had to be stripped to the studs. The couple faced the daunting task of rebuilding each room. Don, although home repair savvy, is a bit perplexed when it comes to the kitchen. Lots of temporary fixes are being used to make the kitchen functional, but Stephanie says it's time for more permanent fixtures and storage.
