weekend project for you, brought to you by quikrete! we're adding a post light to the front yard here, which is a great do-it-yourself project, so we're gonna walk you through some of the steps. what we've got here is the main body, or the lantern-- that's an led-- to supply the light, a photocell to save power during the daylight hours, and a 10-foot post of our lantern are made of cast aluminum, painted black, to look like cast iron. but the glass cylinder that's around our lantern here is this kind of ribbed look, which is a little bit more transitional, a lot like what we have happening in the rest of the house. whenever you're putting in a light post like this, there's always a little digging involved. we're gonna start with a 16-inch diameter hole, and, of course, whenever you're doing that, you'll always want to contact your local utilities to make sure you're not hitting some

i've ever dug in my life. so you typically want the top of your lantern to be about 8 feet in the air, and so we are actually taking into account the height of our actual lantern. so we're gonna measure down about 75 inches because our lantern sits down 2 inches. that leaves us 43 inches of post that has to be buried under grade. aluminum is a good all-weather material, but it's not a bad idea to seal up the part of the post that's going down into the concrete to just discourage now, for power, we had our electrician run some 110 cable through some conduit out to the location beforehand so that we would have enough to run all the way up the pole. before setting the post, we like to drop a little bit of landscape fabric in the bottom of the hole along with some pea rock, or gravel, to promote good drainage below the concrete. now, we're using fast-setting concrete, so we want to make sure we get our post in the hole

before we start pouring our concrete. there we go. feels like it's leaning towards me, but... okay, and slide around this side. now, this fast-setting concrete, you can mix it up in a buggy. we're gonna be doing those-- we're gonna just dump it directly into the hole, and then we'll add some water. it makes the process for what we're doing a little bit easier. now, what you want to do is put in probably about half of a bag, and then we'll soak it with water, let that soak in, and then add more dry mix and then a l as we go along. now, the idea is to fill the hole almost to the top with a little bit of room left for grass or mulch or something like that; then we'll be able to moisten the top and let it set up, and it shouldn't take too long. okay. we got the light post nice and secure. once we get bob, our electrician, back out here, you can see that this light's gonna look real nice up on the post, nice addition

quickrete, it's what america's made of! [sandpaper rubbing] well, mark baker's got a really good start on the steps here. look at this-- just the first one in, and already it's looking really great. thanks. coming along pretty good. yeah, so, now, i know you like to start with the skirtboards. want to tell us about that? yeah, first, they're fitted in place. this side is mitered, of course, for the riser to fit in, in the miter. then on the other side, for the riser to slide behind, and then it's shimmed to it, to the skirtboard. so it's nice and tight, makes the insulation go quicker, and lasts a lot longer. now, the first tread and riser are a little bit different, and so there's a lot of work that goes into those, right? yeah, they took a lot of fitting and planning and stuff to get everything to fit just right, to get the nice bow on each tread. and then the corner has to fit the newel post so everything falls into place and just looks natural.

yeah, yeah, it's the focal point of the whole entry. now, this is sapele, just like the other steps going downstairs, so is this a pretty nice wood to work with? yeah, it's pretty good to work with. it's just a little harder on blades and stuff, but it smells pretty good too. once you get the first couple in, the rest of the treads and risers are gonna go pretty smoothly, right? yeah. it's pretty straightforward. you set the riser first, fit the miter, and then shim the other end tight to the skirtboard. then the tread below is set. and doing it that way, you get to shim behind the riser and then get that nice, tight fit between the tread and the riser. with the glue and the shims, they're nice and tight, and they won't squeak and last a long, long time. now, we also have another element that's gonna be going right here on the corner, and that is our newel post, right? yeah, it's--this is a custom-made one. it's cherry rather than sapele, but it's a nice fit. and that goes right here on the corner. yep. and the--you can see

of the newel post. uh-huh. now, how is this gonna get installed? okay, once it's cut to length, we'll use a giant rail bolt, which is a machine thread on one end that goes up into the post, and then we drill a hole through the side to set the nut on, and then it's anchored into the stair tread and the blocking underneath with the other end of the bolt, which is a wood thread. so everything's all prepped with blocking to take that bolt. yeah, we put extra blocking in there to make sure there's more than adequate support good and solid. well, once this goes in, it's gonna look really, really nice. yep. so, now, you curve wood so nicely; gonna have to show me how you do that sometime. i can. price is double if you watch but triple if you help. [laughs] of course it is. [nail gun firing] we're back down here in the lower level at the bar cabinets and still have a few things left to do. if you remember last time, when we got all the countertops in, so we were able to settle

steve sobieniak here. so, steve, how do you like the countertops? oh, they're really nice. and now i have to just finish it out to the ceiling. it's a two-piece crown. there's an l piece that flushes to the door. and that's a relatively new thing, now, we see. i think most cabinet manufacturers are doing that. makes it a pretty nice way to install a crown. yeah, it really does, especially on these frameless cabinets. that way, we can get the crown molding detail but even with that angled piece up, putting the crown on is still kind of an art in itself, right? it's not all that easy. no, it still isn't. even though this is a relatively flat crown, it's still got a-- it's a compound cut; it's got an angle and a bevel. and it's prefinished, prefinished. everything has to be exact. so no nicks or mars in it while you're installing it or we might make you-- make you autograph that part

all right, well, i'll stop yakking so you can finally get some work done, all right? - thanks, steve.

h,z/[upbeat music] of all the things we deal with in home improvement, there's nothing quite as complex and detailed as a new kitchen. you're dealing with electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling, and last, appliances. one of the critical ones in the creekside home kitchen has to be the range. along with the copper hood above, it is the centerpiece of the plan, created by kitchen designer chris berry. yes, i had a little bit of prep work to do today before we set the stove. i had to build basically a manifold because we had to bring high-pressure gas to the stove and convert it to low pressure right behind the stove. otherwise the stove would not have enough gas to actually operate

at the same time. now, it not only carries a lot of weight in this particular layout, but it's also pretty heavy. so it took a little effort getting it close to its final position where it could be properly hooked up. these stoves are very heavy to move around the kitchen. this one runs about 700 pounds. we kind of took some of the parts out of it and off of it to make it a little easier to move in and get it leveled where it needed to be. [drill whirring] and well worth the extra effort it took to coordinate the cabinets, the natural stone, the copper, and the equipment that surrounds it. up on top, we have six gas burners. two are stacked power burners, and one is a low-heat simmer burner. next to the burners, we also have an electric griddle. down below, we have two ovens, a full-size oven and a smaller oven, both set up for convection broiling and baking.

now, we've installed built-in refrigerators in the past and integral models. the difference is, with a built-in, you roll that in and you tend to still see a little bit of metal framing around the outside even when you put on custom panels. that venting area, again, is a metal frame. even with a custom panel, you still see that outside edge of the metal. but with an integral refrigerator, it's manufactured so that your custom frames completely cover up all the metal, so all you're looking at is cabinetry, which is exa to the point where the manufacturer doesn't even give you a pull for the doors. you end up getting exactly the same type of pulls that you have in the rest of the kitchen. now, there's a little bit more planning and execution in doing an integral refrigerator versus a built-in, but i think it's definitely worth the extra effort. and once you look inside, you can see there's a lot of bright light, lot of storage, adjustable shelving over here, some glass bins for vegetable and meat storage, and then a really nice touch screen panel up here on top.

we have an icemaker. again, a lot of individual storage here, some good square feet, about 30 cubic feet total in the whole package. our dishwasher is tucked away next to our sink cabinet here, which makes it really convenient. it also has a low profile, which makes it nice and inconspicuous. inside, we have a stainless steel tub for durability and longevity. we have two main racks for dishes and then a third rack designated specifically for flatware important aspects to this dishwasher, considering the fact that it's right next to the great room, is the fact that the sound level of this is only at 40 decibels, which is about what you would find in the ambient noise of a library. now, a couple appliances we never worked with before-- a steam oven and a coffee system. now, first of all, these are designed to be the same size so you can run them horizontally like this, like we have, or stack them on top of each other.

tenderness to whatever it is they're preparing. it's about the size of a small microwave. and it combines the technologies of both steam and convection cooking. and if you're retrofitting this into a cabinet that's a little bit wider, it does have a couple trim pieces that will fit like so on the edge just to expand the width of that unit a little bit. - pretty handy if you need it. - it really is. now, to get the steam, you just take out this container, fill it with water, put it back in, and then the heat from the oven now, this really works well for foods you want to keep tender on the inside but still broil them until they're brown and crispy on the outside. there are quite a few modes for the steam and convection with this, so it's a pretty handy little appliance. now, our coffeemaker is designed to slide right into the cabinet here. it gets that coffeemaker off the countertop, frees up a little bit more space. and actually, i shouldn't call this a coffeemaker. it's actually a coffee system because it has the ability to grind all of your coffee beans here on board.

right in this spot. then you can also steam milk by sliding this guy in right here. it's kind of like having your own little coffee shop at home. another thing i should mention, this operates by just plugging into a 110 outlet just like this oven here, by the way. that's--that's all the more it takes, just plug it into a 110. so i think we'll read up on the instructions here and start having ourselves coffee in the morning.

and wrapping up that kitchen is a huge hurdle. it sure feels good to mark that off the list. plus, i think that coffee system's a pretty cool deal too. it is a cool deal. you know, it went in pretty easily, don't you think? oh, we were surprised. - we were surprised how easy. - yep. but--so join us next time because we're starting to round the corner toward the finish line on the old creekside project. so until then, i'm dean johnson. and i'm miriam johnson. thanks for watching.

called the venturi buckeye bullet 3 set a new land speed world record for an electric car. it clocked an average speed of 341 miles per hour and hit a top speed of 358 miles per hour during a run on the bonneville salt flats. that's an 11-mile stretch of dry compact salt. the buckeye bullet 3 was designed and built by a team of engineering students at ohio state university. venturi, based in monaco. it's 39 feet long and powered by four electric motors that run on lithium ion batteries. the team plans to make a few adjustments on the buckeye bullet 3 and return to the track next year with the goal of hitting 400 miles per hour. and we'll be back in a flash with a look at charles osgood's final sunday morning broadcast and the passing of the torch to

22 years on sunday morning. i have to ask, what are you >> i'll probably be writing a radio show for monday. >> well, we'll still see him on the radio, as he says. charles osgood received a warm and a wonderful send-off this morning as he put a bowtie on his run as host of "cbs sunday morning." charlie also passed the torch to his successor. >> "sunday morning" has been

satisfying 22 years of my life in broadcasting. right now i'm proud to tell you that my successor will be someone we all know and think the world of. jane pauley, congratulations and welcome. >> thank you so much, charlie. i am honored beyond words to follow in your footsteps. but enough about me. i have news about your bowtie. the bowtie you are wearing right now is bound for the smithsonian's national museum of american history in washington, where it will join thegi stopwatch of our sister broadcast "60 minutes" as part of its permanent collection, proof as if anyone needed it that you have made broadcast history. congratulations. and please don't be a stranger. >> i promise. >> and a big congratulations to both charles and jane. when we return, the final home game for another broadcasting

finally tonight, in 1950 around the time charles osgood started classes at fordham university in the bronx a recent fordham graduate named vin scully was starting his broadcasting career with the brooklyn dodgers. 67 years later scully is signing off as the los angeles dodgers' beloved announcer. >> it's time for dodger baseball. >> reporter: vin scully's voice is the soundtrack of so many historic moments. he was there in 1974 when hank aaron broke babe ruth's home run record. >> a black man is getting a standing ovation in the deep south. >> reporter: he painted a picture of the game the way shakespeare would right a play. his 1988 world series kirk

eye i said -- >> and look who's coming up. >> and here he comes, hobbling. >> he is gone! in a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened. >> reporter: it was the way he guided listeners through each game that won over generations of baseball fans. for at least nine innings his words transported them from their homes and cars into the dugout or onto the pitcher's mound. for the past 67 years, from brooklyn to los angeles. >> go dodgers. >> reporter: this weekend fans filed into dodger stadium to honor him. angel rodriguez is a walking tribute. >> he's like family. there's nobody here that has not listened to vin. >> reporter: on vin scully appreciation day it was actually vin that was pitching out this gift. 50,000 letters went out to baseball fans thanking them for six decades of love and

dennis murphy drove five hours from san francisco to share this moment with his daughter. what is it about him that makes him the best? >> you know, i think it's just the way he brings the game to life. the experience of the game of baseball. and just the calm nature of his voice. >> reporter: in one week scully will call his final game in san francisco. but this afternoon he signed off one last time from dodger stadium. >> leave it to the dodgers. charlie culverson a game-winning home run. >> reporter: baseball is described as a boy's game played by men. if that holds true, then vin scully will be forever young. his voice echoing through history for millions of fans to come. mireya villareal, cbs news, dodger stadium. >> and that's the overnight news for this monday. for some of you the news continues. for others check back with us in just a short time for the morning news and "cbs this morning." from the broadcast center in new

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." welcome to the overnight news. i'm reena ninan. for months now hillary clinton and donald trump have engaged in a sort of political shadow boxing, throwing jabs at each other on the stump, in commercials and even on twittere real with the first presidential debate of this election season. the verbal slugfest comes as the race tightens. the latest "washington post"/abc news poll has clinton and trump just about tied, with 46% for clinton and 44% for trump. a new cbs poll shows clinton holding her lead in virginia and colorado. those are two key battleground states. our poll shows trump leading in missouri, a state which has voted republican in recent

some analysts believe tonight's debate could be one of the most watched television events ever. jan crawford has more. >> reporter: getting ready for a presidential debate, it usually involves hours just locked inside a hotel conference room where they're running through every possible scenario. so we set up our own makeshift debate prep headquarters to talk to two political strategists about how it all works and what both candidates need to do to win. >> so they say she's been practicing for the debate. some people think she's sleeping. >> reporter: trump had a full schedule this week, traveling to the battleground states of north carolina, ohio, and pennsylvania instead of prepping for the debate. >> how's the debate prep going right now? >> well, i'm here at geno's. >> reporter: clinton on the other hand has been holed up with her top advisers preparing for what her campaign believes will be the single most consequential event leading up to election day. >> of all the big moments in a

judging both candidates side by side and next to each other. so it's less about scoring points and more about what kind of impression you leave. >> reporter: democratic strategist michael feldman helped run al gore's 2000 presidential campaign. we sat down with him and republican strategist dan senor, who helped romney prepare for his 2012 debate against president obama to find out what goes into winning. >> the best debaters, i have found, the best performers are the ones who say i'm not going to win or lose this debate on this detail or that detail, it's the general impression i make. >> reporter: of the two candidates trump is more difficult to predict. and unlike his opponent he's never gone head to head with just one other candidate, a physically exhausting task. >> it's a very physical experience. >> 90 minutes. one on one with -- >> no breaks, no distractions, no ads. >> standing up. >> it's exhausting. >> reporter: these strategists predict that monday's debate could change the contours of the 2016 race. with over 60% of voters expressing concern about trump's temperament, expectations are

>> it is the super bowl of american politics. >> and if it were hillary clinton against jeb bush, or hillary clinton against marco rubio or whomever, sure, it would be the first debate would be a big deal. but hillary clinton against donald trump, it's a show of epic proportions. >> and maybe unlike anything we've ever seen. >> yes. >> reporter: now, already this year's debate is unprecedented. this is the first presidential debate ever between a man and a woman. >> cbs news will have primetime coverage of the presidential eastern. john dickerson discussed the event with the vice presidential candidates tim kaine and mike pence for "face the nation." >> some of hillary clinton's supporters say there is a different standard for hillary clinton. what is that different standard in the debate? >> well, i'm not sure -- i'm hoping there isn't a different standard in the debate, john. i think there's been some worry that maybe up to now there's been different standards applied. but that's the great thing about the debate. i think there's three critical

hillary has been very specific about policy plans. we have a book out describing them. donald trump less so. but tomorrow is an opportunity to see whether donald will be specific about what he proposes to do. second, unanswered questions. the voters have questions. donald trump hasn't released his tax returns. news of this past week shows a whole series of very serious ques ties to russia. and finally, there's been news recently about very questionable, even illegal payments by the trump foundation. i think these unanswered questions are going to be on voters' minds. and then finally there's the issue of truthfulness. politifact has been tracking donald trump's claims on the campaign trail. thus far about 70% of the things they checked turn out to be false. so that's an interesting point about the debate tomorrow night too. in a 90-minute format, not 20-second sound bites, there's a real opportunity to hear somebody say something and then get into is that actually true

so i think the debate issue, obviously let it be an even standard for both. but that issue about specifics, answering those unanswered questions, and checking people on truthfulness, that's going to be very important. >> i noticed the campaign put out a list already of 18 or so questions of -- or falsehoods about donald trump they put out. that's about donald trump. but hillary clinton, everything she says in the campaign, that will be in the deb everything she says will be truthful? >> i think that's fair game. it's fair game for both candidates to be challenged either on things that they said or things that they say tomorrow night. and again, i think the great virtue of these debates is you get 90 minutes to look at people and really see whether there's depth, whether there's substance, and whether there's candor and truthfulness in what they say. >> any advice you've given hillary clinton before the debate?

debates, but more in the area of kind of tone and style and how to effectively make your positive case even while parrying what the other guy throws at you. >> governor, most candidates would be hitting the books. donald trump has been out campaigning almost just like regular. so how has he been preparing for the debates? >> i think donald trump has been preparing for this debate for his entire lifetime. he's built a great business. he's traveled the country. and particularly in this campaign, john. as you saw last night in roanoke, virginia donald trump has been out among the american people. i think he's given voice to the frustrations and aspirations of the american people like no american leader in my lifetime since ronald reagan. and i think all of that is going to combine and come together. and i'm looking forward to seeing this good man, my running mate, step on that stage and present his message to make america great again to the american people. >> and he suggests the moderators shouldn't fact check in the debates.

>> well, i think we all had the experience a few years ago of mitt romney being interrupted and being challenged on an assertion that he made. i believe it was about the tragedy in benghazi. and it turned out the moderator was wrong. i think the important thing is that the american people hear from these two candidates. the choice in this campaign could not be more clear. in donald trump we have a leader who literally embodies the american spirit, who wants to change the direction of this country through rebuilding our military, less taxes, less regulation, repealing obamacare, standing by our constitution. and hillary clinton literally offers a third obama term, more of the same, more taxes, more regulation, more obamacare, more of the war on energy and more of the policies that have weakened america's place in the world. we need to hear from these two candidates and i hope and trust that the moderators will just facilitate that. >> and governor, donald trump

says in the debate on monday night will be truthful? >> i think donald trump always speaks straight from his mind and straight from his heart. unlike ordinary diapers, pampers stay up to three times drier, so babies can sleep soundly all night. pampers. (coughs) that cough doesn't sound so good. well i think you sound great. move over. easy booger man. take mucinex dm. it'll take care of your cough.

looks like i'm good all night! ah! david, please, listen. still not coughing. not fair you guys! waffles are my favorite! ah! some cough medicines only last 4 hours. but just one mucinex lasts 12 hours. start the relief. ditch the misery. let's end this. mmm... i can't believe it's so delicious. i can't believe it has 40% fewer calories than butter. i can't believe it's made with real, simple ingredients. i can't believe we're on a whale. i can't believe my role isn't bigger. ents. unbelievable taste.

well, we at cbs are saying good-bye to a broadcast legend, charles osgood. he spent nearly half a century right here at cbs. the last 22 years as host of "sunday morning." charles is handing the microphone to jane pauley. his final show was yesterday morning. rita braver has a look back at his life and his legacy. >> here it is, right here. nature's cooling system. the great american elm tree. >> reporter: whether describing a national treasure or deploring the plight of the homeless. >> being cold is not an abstraction but a reality you can feel in your bones. and the only thing that matters is to escape from the cold, and now. >> you know what this is, of

>> reporter: charles osgood says he wants us to take a closer look. >> let's see if he's there. >> you rang? >> and maybe in some cases to be angry or amused or sort of shake your head about this crazy world. and by the way, it is a crazy world. >> reporter: which helps explain how an economics major at fordham university in the bronx -- >> were the call letters the same when you were here? >> yes, they were. >> reporter: ended up at the campus radio station. >> i spent more time here than i did in classrooms or doing homework. >> reporter: he started as a classical music dj in washington, d.c. but at some point you moved to become a news reporter. what was the inspiration for that? >> there was a job that was available, and i knew how to get it. >> his first big-time news job was at abc. >> good morning. this is charles osgood, news

>> then in 1967 he joined wcbs radio in new york. >> well, today mrs. martin is the proud possessor of a plant that towers like jack's bean stalk, looks like a tomato plant, and is nicknamed fred. >> reporter: his distinctive style soon landed him a job at the cbs network. >> the osgood file. this is charles osgood. >> reporter: and in 1971 he launched one of the longest-running features in radio history. what came to be known th how to use his voice on the radio. >> reporter: several stories a day in two-minute segments that are surprisingly complex to craft. >> see you on the radio. i say that every week. a peculiar phrase some people think for anyone to speak. i've got a piece of mail or two on my office shelf saying this sentence seems to contradict itself.

there's nothing that can't be improved by making it shorter and better. >> reporter: when the idea of television was presented to you, was that exciting for you or foreboding? >> it scared me to death. it just about scared me to death. >> good evening. time's running out to get the hostage crisis -- >> reporter: in fact, he says the first time he anchored a broadcast he got some constructive criticism from the legendary mike wallace. >> he said you looked like you had gone into the room to empty the waste basknd up and you saw walter cronkite's chair. and so you said oh and you went and sat in his chair and you said to yourself i hope nobody catches me doing this, i hope nobody's watching. >> reporter: but soon he realized -- >> good evening, i'm charles osgood. >> reporter: -- he just needed to be himself on camera. >> it takes two to tango but more than two to make for any kind of peace in the middle east. >> it's important that the audience be comfortable and they

comfortable. >> reporter: in 1994 charles osgood took over "sunday morning" from the venerable charles kuralt. >> good morning. i'm charles osgood, and this is "sunday morning." i know it sounds strange to me too, but here we are. >> reporter: you've got to know that the audience came to not just accept you but to really be very fond of you. what was that like as you started to realize that? >> i think if you you do something every week and if you fill up their homes, then they get to know you. they're not even surprised when you knock on the door and say may i come in. ? ? we have actors and artists ? ? not just politicians ? ? >> reporter: in the 22 years since, charles osgood has taken us to cuba, explored the american architectural landmarks, even served up thanksgiving dinner.

in the process helping "sunday morning" earn three recent emmys for outstanding morning program. through it all he's followed his own wise counsel. >> before your working years are through i hope whatever work you do makes you happy, makes you smile. you may be at it quite a while. ? the feeling is not ? ? half bad ? ? >> we'll have more on charles osgood's final show at cbs after the break. you're watching the "cbs

put some distance between you and temptation with meta appetite control. clinically proven to help reduce hunger between meals. new, from metamucil, the #1 doctor recommended brand. after nearly half a century, legendary newsman charles osgood has retired. he hosted "sunday morning" for the final time yesterday. charles may well be remembered for his wit, his wisdom, or even his bowties, but his legion of fans also know he was an accomplished musician. anthony mason has that part of the story. ? >> reporter: for the past 22

needed a house band. >> you know this song. ? you are my sunshine ? ? my only sunshine ? we had charlie. he was his own accompanist. even in his office you could catch charlie at the keyboard. >> you've been known to stop into the steinway showroom from time to time. >> yes indeed. >> reporter: charlie, who owns three steinways, fell in love with music hearing his mother play piano at home. >> piano was your first instrument. >> yes. well, toy piano was my first instrument. and i started playing by ear before i started taking lessons. >> did you have musical aspirations? >> no. i never thought that i would be a professional pianist. and i don't think i could get the job being one even today.

had a leading role in his life. in 1955, when he was about to be drafted into the army, he met an officer in dress blues. >> i'm a member of the united states army band. i said what instruments do you play? he said i'm the announcer. gong. i said when do you get out? he said next month. >> you saw a job opening. >> he would serve three years as the army band's announcer. >> the president who's making a rapid recovery. >> reporter: when president eisenhower was recovering at walter reed army hospital, charlie was enlisted as his personal disc jockey. >> i was put into a studio with a stack of records that had all been chosen as his favorites, and i spent most of the day playing records for eisenhower. >> charlie started writing songs too. >> i don't think most people know that you had a top 40 hit. >> well, it's true, though.
