New York City Project, Part 6 of 10
At the project house in Brooklyn, host Kevin O'Connor arrives to
find local builder Michael Streaman and stair fabricator Stephen
Dijanic installing the vintage spiral stairs that the homeowners
bought online. The new plaster medallion is installed in the
parlor, and design correspondent Carole Freehauf reveals the design
choices for the two rental apartments. Homeowner Kevin Costello
lays down click-together linoleum floor tiles in one unit while
cabinet installer Oliver Earl deals with concealing ductwork over
his cabinetry in the other unit. Finish carpenter Mario Quintuna
shows master carpenter Norm Abram how he is rehabilitating the
original five panel interior doors by patching holes, cleaning up
edges and replacing panels. At the end of the day, the spiral stair
is nearly complete and ready to be tested. Homeowner Karen Shen is
thrilled with the way it looks and that Streaman found a way to
modify it to fit.
