New York City Project, Part 5 of 10
At the project house in Brooklyn, homeowner Karen Shen shows master
carpenter Norm Abram the progress in the owner's unit while
flooring contractor Neale Rattray installs new white oak flooring
in the top floor apartment. In the new master bathroom, local
plumbing contractor Randy Gitli shows plumbing and heating
contractor Richard Trethewey the showerhead combination that
includes a master showerhead, a handheld showerhead and tub filler.
The set-up is equally complicated behind the walls, with volume
controls and a thermostatic valve that Randy installs that day.
Design correspondent Carole Freehauf shows host Kevin O'Connor the
paint color scheme for the first floor, which will be monochromatic
to let the beautiful woodwork take center stage. Local builder
Michael Streaman takes Norm to his woodworking shop in Greenpoint
to see the progress on the custom kitchen and how his crew is
replicating baseboard profiles using routers instead of expensive
custom knives. In the backyard, homeowner Kevin Costello lends a
hand installing the new privacy fence that he found at a local home
center.
