The Tunnel (2013)

Episode Overview

The show kicks off at Halekii heiau, an ancient Hawaiian temple located in Maui, which stands in stark contrast to the surrounding industrial park and suburban developments, highlighting the ongoing struggle between modern growth and historical preservation. Our host examines the remaining tasks on project supervisor Rob Varner's list and takes a tour of the house. Next, we see a termite fumigation process where an entire home is encapsulated in a tent and treated with toxic gas. Richard Trethewey introduces a new solar hot-water system and demonstrates split-system air-conditioning units. Finally, we explore a 1936 home designed by renowned Hawaiian architect Charles W. Dickey.
