    Master carpenter Norm Abram meets lighting designer Susan Arnold for a look at the modern (but practical) cable lighting system in the kitchen. The limestone tub deck is installed in the master bath, while plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey installs an undermount sink in the kids' bath. Richard shows Norm the last pieces of the HVAC story — the condensers (that use a refrigerant that won't delete the ozone layer) and the heat-recovery ventilators (that will bring fresh air into the sealed-tight house.) Alarm specialist Don Martini shows Norm the latest innovations in his field — an access keypad that unlocks the front door with the swipe of a key tag, while keeping a log of comings and goings on the household computer.
