The Dry-B-Low system prevents rainwater on the deck from dripping through to the patio below.

Steve also checks out some built-in wall storage units by Iron-A-Way. Scott interviews expert Jean Dimeo, who talks about Merillat's custom cabinetry, Honeywell's clean air system and moderately-priced faucet finishes from companies like Moen. Then Barbara checks out the WaterCop water detection product.
