New York City Project, Part 10 of 10
With the Brooklyn brownstone nearly complete, master carpenter Norm
Abram and host Kevin O'Connor arrive to find a bustling sidewalk
with both sod and furniture being delivered. In the backyard,
landscape contractor Roger Cook sees how the sod is being laid
down, while local builder Michael Streaman installs the last of the
missing spindles at the base of the main staircase. Norm visits
Mount Laurel, New Jersey, to see how the turnings were made by both
a CNC lathe and by hand with chisels. Design correspondent Carole
Freehauf shows Kevin the finished rental apartment on the top
floor. The apartment has a casual monochromatic scheme that lets
the woodwork take center stage; the stunning kitchen has
period-inspired details and modern amenities. Homeowner Karen Shen
shows Norm the completed master bedroom level, now accessible from
the owner's unit by a vintage spiral staircase. After a look at the
backyard transformation, the crew gathers on the front stoop to
celebrate the completion of the project and to congratulate Michael
Streaman on a job well done.
