The Barnwood Builders go back to school when Mark Bowe buys a cabin with an unusual design called Piece en Piece. It's a combination of timber frame and stacked logs that none of them have ever dismantled. There is one surprise after another and even an ingenious Sherman Thompson invention.

The crew takes the week off to build furniture, cut trees and plant gardens in their own backyards in West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Also, Mark Bowe visits the finished Catskill Cabin in Shawangunk, New York.
