Episode Overview
Host Kevin O'Connor invites plumbing and heating specialist Richard Trethewey to explore Austin, dubbed the "Live Music Capital of the World," starting at the iconic Continental Club, a hub for rockabilly, swing, and country music since 1957. The following day, builder Bill Moore showcases the renovation progress, highlighting the contributions of his sons, Sam and David, who are assisting with the first-floor bathroom demolition. On the roof, Richard meets solar contractor Andrew McCalla and his team, who are installing a 2.45kW solar array to supply 40% of the new home's energy needs. Meanwhile, Norm visits Brad Kittel at Texas's largest salvage yard to source matching interior doors and glass knobs for the addition. Plumber John Podolak connects the circulator pump for the tankless hot water heater, while Bill points out the sagging front porch pad to Norm.
