The Tunnel (2013)

Episode Overview

In the music room, our master carpenter starts fitting the initial pieces of the inglenook, while Steve examines the home's wiring, fuse panels, and emergency backup power unit alongside electrician Pete Woodbury. Meanwhile, Steve continues his painting lessons with contractor Jim Clark, dedicating a few hours to prep the master bedroom's bay windows for their final coats. Outside, Roger Cook and arborist Matt Foti assess the fate of an ailing ash tree and a split-fork oak that looms over the east side of the house. Tom demonstrates to Steve the process for creating mahogany paneling in the music room, highlighting a unique fastening technique that employs plastic "bow ties" to secure wood together. The master carpenter and Tom receive a tutorial on this method from a factory representative.
