• You’ll see a start-to-finish demonstration on how to replace a shower or tub • with a curbless shower stall. • To maximize access, a wall-mounted sink is hung and hooked up—and you see every step. Replace a traditional bathroom sink faucet • with a hands-free model so you can turn on the water even if you can’t reach all the way to the faucet handle. • Add a frameless glass shower surround • and learn how to install and plumb a vanity cabinet and sink basin.

The list of projects is long and the information, vetted by the experts at BLACK+DECKER, is complete and current.
