Homeowner Chris Flynn takes host Kevin O'Connor to East Boston's highest vantage point, showcasing breathtaking views of downtown and a 35-foot statue of the Virgin Mary at a national shrine. General contractor Tom Silva points out issues like rot on the front porch and problems with the aging stucco exterior.
