In this episode:
Shortly before the fire, Homeowner Carol and her sister remodeled the three kitchens in the building with new floors, cabinets, appliances, and countertops. Almost all were destroyed in the fire, but the cabinets on the first floor survived. Today host Kevin O’Connor and general contractor Tom Silva are reinstalling them.
With board and plaster up, we can start trimming the windows. Tom teaches our apprentices, Bobbi and Jay, how it’s done.
Each unit in the building gets its own hot water and heat system. Richard Trethewey and HVAC contractor James Bouchard have a plan that cuts down on the number of units in the basement.
Most major purchases Carol makes for her building are multiplied times three. She and her sister Willie meet Kevin to shop for appliances. Meanwhile, at the Triple Decker, Mark Ferrante begins tiling the bathroom walls with the tile that Carol and her sister picked out last week.
