Jeff arrives in Dupont after a very long flight with two layovers. He doesn't let his jetlag slow him down, and he and Kyle depart for a 3 hour trip to Home Depot. They don't get home until 10:00 p.m.!

Jeff and Kyle don't waste a second and immediately begin kitchen demolition after an early morning run to Harbor Freight to pick up a tile saw

Jeff cracks the whip, and won't let Kyle take any breaks or naps...

Here is what our new island will look like. This is a Kyle and Jeff Tobler original design. Isn't it cool!

Kyle and Jeff cut the plywood.

Jeff lays the first piece of travertine tile, which is a beautiful golden cream color.

And I am still eating to keep up my energy. This is after a meal of teryaki short ribs and cupcakes. Tonight we ate chicken wings and chocolate cake. No wonder I am smiling!

Jeff works late into the night adding a finishing touch.
