Episode Overview
The renovation of the Dutch Colonial Revival progresses as master carpenter Norm Abram highlights the latest developments, focusing on the kitchen where general contractor Tom Silva and host Kevin O'Connor are reframing walls for new windows and doors. Upstairs, Tom works on installing a large window composed of six individual units for the library, while downstairs, kitchen designer Tamara Raymond collaborates with homeowner Gillian Pierce to visualize her new kitchen using paper mock-ups.
