Generation Next | How to Reface a Fireplace with Granite
Refacing a fireplace surround is a two-person job. Use caution when handling heavy materials.

It's challenging to match granite, so it makes more sense to order four new pieces rather than just one or two replacement pieces. A local stone fabricator can template the fireplace and cut and round each piece to the appropriate size. In this case, Mark used granite in the color Black Pearl, fabricated by International Stone, Inc..

To adhere the granite to the fireplace, Mark used a concrete construction adhesive manufactured by Quikrete.

The other materials Mark used for this job, including the chisel, hammers, and buckets, can all be found at home centers.

How to Start an Organic Garden
Jenn gives some tips on starting an organic garden.

In order to qualify as organic, every material used in the garden must be certified organic. Check the labels of plants, soils, and even potting material to be certain everything is actually organic.

Everything Jenn demonstrated in the segment, including the seeds, seedlings, planters and soil, can all be found at home centers and nurseries.

How to Install a New Kitchen Faucet
Richard helps a homeowner replace the shutoff valve underneath her kitchen sink and then updates her kitchen faucet.

Richard installed the Fairbury Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet in stainless steel, manufactured by American Standard. It comes with washers and gaskets and most of the materials required to install it.

Richard repaired the stem on the kitchen faucet shutoff valve using a multi-turn valve stem repair kit, manufactured by BrassCraft.

Everything else he used in this project, including the wrench, screwdriver, plumber's putty and soap dispenser, can be purchased at home centers and plumbing supply stores.
