Newton Centre Project, Part 15 of 16
Host Kevin O'Connor arrives at the project house to find a bustling
jobsite and the finished countertops arriving. Inside, homeowner
Bill Pierce reviews the tight clearances around the kitchen island
before the tops are permanently installed. Landscape contractor
Roger Cook takes homeowner Gillian Pierce shopping for plant
material for the yard, focusing on dwarf specimens to fit the scale
and size of her lot. Back at the house, master carpenter Norm Abram
welcomes back wood countertop fabricator Paul Grothouse to install
the butcher block island top and to review other wood top options.
Outside, Roger and Gillian review the site prep and put the new
plants in the ground. Upstairs, Norm and general contractor Tom
Silva continue work on the new library by fabricating and
installing the face frames for the base cabinets and gluing and
installing the new oak tops for the window seat. Back in the
kitchen, tile contractor Mark Ferrante installs and grouts the
subway tile backsplash using a new pre-mixed urethane grout that
promises faster installation time, greater stain resistance and no
additional sealing.
