Tom updates Kevin on the ongoing utility trench project, a costly and labor-intensive endeavor that has already consumed $30,000 in budget, along with several thousand dollars in permit fees. Concrete cutting expert Peter Dami is on-site, using a diamond-plated coring drill to create openings in the 10-inch foundation wall for final connections. Kevin also meets Jaqueline Buckley, Janet's mother, who will be living in the cottage with her husband, Len. Richard takes Kevin to the New Yankee Workshop to explore heating and cooling options for the Concord cottage, while Kevin connects with interior designer Tricia McDonagh in Boston’s South End to discuss maximizing space in small areas. Inside the cottage, all four walls are taking shape.
