East Boston Project (Part 15 of 18)
Landscape contractor Roger Cook removes the rest of the old plants
and dead lawn to make way for the new, while homeowner Liz Bagley
and interior designer Lisey Good show off their plans for
decorating the more modern downstairs unit. Upstairs, cabinet
installer Oliver Earl shows master carpenter Norm Abram the new
cabinets going in the kitchen. Plumbing and heating expert Richard
Trethewey visits nearby Boston Light, the site of the first
lighthouse in the country, to see its newly restored Fresnel lens.
General contractor Tom Silva shows host Kevin O'Connor how he's
expanded the back porch using composite decking with a hidden
fastening system, and how he's repairing an old pressure treated
railing, rather than replacing it. Flooring contractor Patrick Hunt
shows Norm a new dust collection system that attaches to a standard
floor sander, separates particulate matter through a cyclone and
then funnels the dust to a canister that can be kept outside,
leaving the jobsite dust free. (Part 15 of 18)
