Newton Centre Project, Part 14 of 16
Landscape contractor Roger Cook and homeowner Gillian Pierce visit
neighbor and gardener Cathy Schneider to take her up on her offer
to share some of her plants that need dividing. Back at the Pierce
home, painting contractor Anne Brady gets started on the prep and
painting of the dining room, first explaining how to patch and
spot-prime a water-damaged ceiling. Then, Anne teaches host Kevin
O'Connor a method for repainting the ceiling in 3x3-foot patches
that allows her to do two coats at once while always keeping a wet
edge. Kevin checks on the progress of the kitchen and then meets
with countertop fabricator Danny Puccio at an off-site showroom to
see the latest offerings in countertops. Out back, they see how the
tops are fabricated both by machine and by hand. Inside, Kevin
finds general contractor Tom Silva constructing the new built-in
bookshelves for the formal living room. Kevin lends a hand
fabricating the boxes and mounting them to the wall.
