In this episode, Stacy and Daniel continue their deep dive into floor restoration by chatting with Rob Cagnetta from Sutherland Welles. Rob explains why tung oil is a good choice for floor refinishing, how it is made, and how Sutherland Welles makes their products smell so good.

Later, Stacy and Daniel have a conversation with designer and preservationist Reagan Leslie. Reagan is taking Peoria, Illinois, by storm with her unstoppable drive to improve housing within her community and preserve old homes.
