Newton project (Part 4 of 16)
General contractor Tom Silva removes the temporary support beam
that has been holding up the back corner of the house. Meanwhile,
engineered lumber specialist Craig Smith shows master carpenter
Norm Abram the "green" framing materials to be used in the new
kitchen. Norm, Tom and host Kevin O'Connor remove the old kitchen
walls and install a new 16' beam to open up the space. Master
electrician Allen Gallant shows Norm how the shoddy wiring
installed over the years has created unsafe conditions and code
violations throughout the house. Kitchen showroom co-owner Yael
Peleg presents her vision for an "unfitted kitchen," while kitchen
designer Donna Venegas shows Kevin and homeowner Maddy Krauss how
the concept is incorporated into the floor plans and design
choices. Back in Newton, Tom and Kevin reframe the structure of the
floor under the master closet to strengthen, level and tie it in
with the rest of the floor in the new master bath. (Part 4 of 16)
