East Boston project (Part 5 of 18)

Though both kitchens are being gutted, aunt Chris Flynn and niece Liz Bagley are still bunking together in the upstairs unit, getting by with just a refrigerator and a hot plate in the dining room. Kitchen designer Kathy Marshall shows host Kevin O'Connor and Liz two possible schemes for her new kitchen in the first floor apartment. Master plumber Bill Kane shows plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey a new pipe relining system that will line the old cast iron sewer pipe lateral with a new, continuous pipe made out of resin to protect against future tree root infiltration. On the second floor, Kevin lends general contractor Tom Silva and master carpenter Norm Abram a hand hauling in and installing a new carrying beam that will allow for an open floor plan. Master electrician Allen Gallant shows Kevin how he can snake new wires through the old walls using a fishing system and a flexible steel drill bit. (Part 5 of 18)
