Episode Overview
The episode opens with a trip to Sankaty Head Light, a Coast Guard facility perched on the island's rugged eastern shore. Established in 1850, this lighthouse, along with the nearby homes on the bluff, faces the threat of being eroded by the advancing Atlantic. Coast Guard Captain Bill Batson leads a tour, sharing insights about potential future plans. Meanwhile, general contractor Burce Killen inspects the almost fully reframed house, discussing the efficiency and building codes that necessitated such an extensive overhaul. Outside, designer Jock Gifford presents homeowner Kathy McGraw Bentley with a sample of the new windows he has chosen, which include true divided lights and energy-efficient features. The Bentleys need to seek approval from the Historic District Commission for their desired color scheme before they can place their window order.
