In this riveting episode of B is for Build, the team embarks on a daring project to transform a pontoon yacht into a luxurious vessel fit for the high seas. With their signature blend of ambition and ingenuity, they tackle the challenge of adding a much-needed bathroom to the boat, crafting a multi-functional 3-in-1 unit that serves as stairs, a bathroom, changing room, and even a bar top. Despite their lack of carpentry expertise, the team dives headfirst into the construction process, seeking feedback from viewers and visualizing the final product before diving into the nitty-gritty of building stringer sections and steep stairs for quick access to the second level.

The team showcases the system's features and highlights its role in providing peace of mind for homeowners. As they continue to work on door frames, cabinet doors, and other essential elements of the boat, the crew's dedication to craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of the build. With each piece carefully fitted into place and every edge expertly rounded, the pontoon yacht begins to take shape as a true testament to the team's passion for creating something extraordinary.
