New Orleans Project, Part 5 of 10
Host Kevin O'Connor and master carpenter Norm Abram visit the
neighborhood jazz clubs of Frenchman Street, the locals'
alternative to Bourbon Street, where the music scene is alive and
well. At the project house in Holy Cross, homeowner Rashida
Ferdinand receives surprising news - her contractor cannot complete
the job. Although Rashida is hiring someone new, she herself is
filling in to bridge the gap between builders. Rashida has managed
to obtain rough inspections, and spray foam insulation gets
underway in the new addition. Norm visits carpenter Matt Thompson
at his renovated house and shop in Bywater to see how he is milling
the historically accurate French doors out of Spanish cedar. At
Musicians' Village, founder Branford Marsalis shows Norm the plans
for the music education and performance center that will be built
in honor of his father, Ellis Marsalis. (Part 5 of 10)
