New York City Project, Part 3 of 10
Host Kevin O'Connor and plumbing and heating expert Richard
Trethewey visit lower New York Harbor, taking in the city skyline
and the Statue of Liberty from the water and from Liberty Island.
At the project house in Brooklyn, master carpenter Norm Abram meets
local wood refinisher John Thomas for an assessment of the multiple
wood finishes in the house (including lots of deteriorating
shellac) and how to properly restore them. At a tile showroom in
Bensonhurst, designer Carole Freehauf shows homeowner Karen Shen
some period-appropriate tile combinations for her bathrooms and
kitchen. Back at the project house, Richard gets an update on the
plumbing and heating progress and sees how brothers Randy and Erik
Gitli are converting the old steam radiators to hot water.
