Weston Project, Part 9 of 16
Host Kevin O'Connor arrives in Weston and finds a busload of masons
just arrived from Wisconsin to help with the exterior stone veneer,
while general contractor Tom Silva shows homeowner Amy Favat the
new synthetic slate roofing material made from 80 percent recycled
content. On the outside of the building, Jason Buechel and his crew
install a New England fieldstone natural stone veneer that goes up
with dark grout and deeply raked joints to give it a dry-laid look.
Meanwhile, in Brookline, New Hampshire, master carpenter Norm Abram
meets third-generation lumber and paneling expert Tom Bingham to
see how he is making custom wainscoting, chair rail and horizontal
wallboards for the Weston home. Back in Weston, Tom shows homeowner
Pete Favat the new custom garage doors and how they are installed
and operated.
