We get our custom built ins started in Belmont and show off our Longleaf Lumber reclaimed poplar. Jose is getting stressed and needs a girlfriend bad! No chubby chasing for him though. Chris gets an earful from Nate about his grape cigars and we liven up the jobsite with a little candid conversation, confessions, honesty, rudeness and some Buckethead.
