East Boston project (Part 6 of 18)

Episode --Plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey and homeowner Chris Flynn consult with salvage expert Harry James about removing the antique plumbing fixtures from the house. To make way for the new kitchens, host Kevin O'Connor and the homeowners help general contractor Tom Silva by taking down the central chimney from the top, brick by brick. Master carpenter Norm Abram visits the jobsite of the first art museum to be built in Boston in nearly 100 years, the Institute of Contemporary Art, which features a dramatic glass cantilever and a tight construction deadline. Back at the house, kitchen and bath designer Kathy Marshall shows Norm how she plans to squeeze a new, no frills, full bathroom into the attic for Chris. The new bathroom will be built first, before demolition takes place in the old second floor bathroom, so the homeowners can avoid having to move out. (Part 6 of 18)
