• Brad and Lynn took one of their daughter's (Amanda) to shop for bathroom fixtures, and she chose a sleek design (figure A) that was $200 above budget. Brad said when you take a child along to help with the selection process, "? all of a sudden you get another set of opinions that you try to respect but it's totally somewhere else." Guess what? Amanda's chose stuck.

• Back at the job site, the supervisor (Greg Allen) is dealing with a problem with the Jacuzzi in the master bathroom.

  Note: For information on the location of the Jacuzzi in the master bathroom and the problems that arose, check out our "Location, Location, Location!" episode on pipes and plumbing ... click here.
