New York City Project, Part 8 of 10
After a brief visit to the Brooklyn Navy Yard, master carpenter
Norm Abram helps local builder Michael Streaman reinstall old
interior door trim in the new library area. In Bensonhurst, host
Kevin O'Connor finds countertop fabricator Alex DeMeo unloading a
container of marble just in from Italy and the slabs of manmade
quartz and resin being made into countertops. Later, the
countertops are installed at the project house, with cutouts for
the range and seams made on site. In the basement, plumbing and
heating expert Richard Trethewey meets electrical contractor Vinny
Verderosa to see how the new service is set up for the three-family
house. Then, Richard meets local plumbing and heating contractor
Randy Gitli to look at the mechanical room that contains two
complete systems - one for the ground-floor apartment and another
for the top three floors. Upstairs in the master bath, tile
contractor Mauro Zanutto shows Kevin his unconventional method for
grouting the floor tile.
