Episode Overview
Renovations commence on the building's exterior, starting with the removal of old cracks before applying a flexible polyurethane caulk that mimics the original stucco's texture. Master carpenter Norm Abram revives the house's original front doors, recently unearthed from the basement. Inside, plastering expert Karl Gross utilizes a reinforced plaster mixture, along with mesh tape and joint compound, to repair the old plaster and prevent future damages. Meanwhile, landscape contractor Roger Cook explores a vibrant community garden in East Boston. Back at the house, coatings specialist Scott Bennung demonstrates to host Kevin O'Connor how he is using an elastomeric coating on the stucco, ensuring it remains watertight and visually appealing.
