East Boston project (Part 8 of 18)
Host Kevin O'Connor opens the show at Piers Park, a waterfront park
in East Boston that gives its residents access to the water and
free sailing lessons to city youth. Even though they plan to live
in the house during the renovation, homeowners Chris Flynn and Liz
Bagley pack up most of their belongings into a portable storage
unit so work can progress. Liz helps general contractor Tom Silva
dig holes for the footings for her new deck using a compact utility
loader. To resist weather and frost-driven uplift, Tom uses a
one-piece ultra high-density polyethylene footing form. Fire
inspector Bill Honen helps Kevin locate the new smoke and carbon
monoxide detectors, while master electrician Allen Gallant installs
them. On the exterior of the house, masonry contractor Mark
McCullough patches the worst of the crumbling stucco. (Part 8 of
