Weston Project, Part 14 of 16
Master carpenter Norm Abram meets with Michelle Moore from the U.S.
Green Building Council to learn more about their LEED for Homes
program and how the Weston house will qualify. Landscape contractor
Roger Cook installs porous pavers in the driveway, while the Port
Orford cedar pergola is being craned into place on the front lawn.
Bensonwood woodworker Kevin Bittenbender shows host Kevin O'Connor
how the Bensonwood shop builds window trim kits and later how they
are installed at the project house. General contractor Tom Silva
shows Norm the new industrial steel staircase going in and how the
look is softened by reclaimed Douglas fir stair treads. In
Nantucket, Massachusetts, Norm and designer Carole Freehauf visit
remote Esther's Island to see how one developer has achieved luxury
living completely off the grid.
