Weston Project, Part 11 of 16
At the project house in Weston, host Kevin O'Connor finds solar
energy specialist Jeff Wolfe installing 18 solar panels that can
provide up to 75 percent of the home's power needs. Later, in
Alstead, New Hampshire, builder Tedd Benson shows Kevin a modest
prefabricated Habitat for Humanity house that a group of 450
volunteers assembled in eight days. Back in Weston, general
contractor Tom Silva installs the red distressed vertical boards
that will adorn the walls of the second-floor hall. At the
Bensonwood shop, master carpenter Norm Abram meets timberframer CJ
Brehio to see how he is laying out and carving "2008" in Roman
numerals into a reclaimed Douglas fir timber for the first floor.
Back at the project house, Tom shows Kevin the new custom
half-round copper gutters and decorative brackets going in on the
street side of the house.
