East Boston project (Part 1 of 18)
For the first time ever, the experts at THIS OLD HOUSE gathered
house proposals on the Web and now find themselves working with two
single female homeowners in the dynamic neighborhood of East
Boston. The challenge for this new season is to renovate their 1916
two-family house on a modest budget. While the house needs new
wiring, plumbing and insulation, the homeowners hope to spend most
of their money on stylish new kitchens and baths. Downstairs,
homeowner Liz Bagley wants an open, contemporary look, complete
with a new back porch. Upstairs, her aunt, Chris Flynn, prefers a
more traditional approach that includes adding a new bath in the
attic and greatly expanding her kitchen. After a thorough
inspection, host Kevin O'Connor and master carpenter Norm Abram
discover additional problems with the roof, heating systems and an
aggressive vine that is engulfing the house. (Part 1 of 18)
