Newton: Retaining Wall, Historic Wallcovering (S29E05)
Landscape contractor Roger Cook works on installing 200 feet of pre-cast concrete to establish a retaining wall that will outline the new backyard. Inside the home, wallpaper expert Richard Nylander assists host Kevin O'Connor in assessing and dating the historic wallpaper found throughout the house, while general contractor Tom Silva constructs the framework for a new window in an existing wall. Additionally, Kevin travels to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to observe the relocation of three 19th-century structures as part of a significant construction endeavor at Harvard Law School, a meticulously planned million-dollar operation that involves lifting and rolling the buildings down Massachusetts Avenue using remote-controlled hydraulic dollies.
