Roger Cook brings Kevin O'Connor to the United States Botanic
Garden at the base of the Capitol; work at the Washington, DC,
project house, continues.
Landscape contractor Roger Cook brings host Kevin O'Connor to the
United States Botanic Garden - at the base of the Capitol, which
serves as the nation's greenhouse - boasting 4,000 living species
and 26,000 different plants. Back at the project house, Roger finds
garden designer Kevin Cordt and his crew bringing in steel edging,
pea stone and plant material for the new backyard garden. Inside,
general contractor Mahyar Mahvi shows master carpenter Norm Abram
how he's sealed the exposed brick and started the tile work on the
second floor. Custom stair manufacturer Jeff Glass and his crew
fabricate a laminated railing for the new curved staircase.
Interior designer Kate Dieterich shows Norm new linoleum flooring
for the kitchen that's homeowner friendly - it comes in panels with
a cork backing, and clicks together without glue. In nearby
Anacostia, Kevin meets park ranger Eola Dance for a look at the
ongoing restoration work at the Frederick Douglass National
Historic Site. Upstairs in the back bedroom, flooring contractor
Ralph Santos installs a traditional pre-finished strip oak floor.
