Episode Overview
Host Kevin O'Connor and master carpenter Norm Abram explore New Orleans alongside local streetcar operator Sue Daniel, affectionately known as "Streetcar Sue." At the Holy Cross project house, Norm checks in with homeowner Rashida Ferdinand's new contractor, Larry Schneider, who has made impressive strides in just two weeks. At Musicians' Village, saxophonist Calvin Johnson shares his journey of investing his time toward the 350 hours required for homeownership in the community. Back at the project site, lead carpenter Mike Gettle demonstrates his work on the side porch. In Central City, Kevin meets Rick Denhart from Mercy Corps, who explains how the nonprofit assists homeowners in dismantling damaged properties at no cost, with salvaged materials sold at local depots for less.
