Weston; Bringing Things Together (S30E10)
On the rooftop of the project house in Weston, plumbing and heating specialist Richard Trethewey introduces host Kevin O'Connor to an innovative solar hot water system featuring evacuated tube technology, ideal for colder climates. Meanwhile, general contractor Tom Silva takes homeowner Amy Favat on a progress tour, highlighting the nearly finished rough plumbing and electrical work, along with the recently installed cabinets. Concrete countertop fabricators arrive to create templates, with a production timeline of four to six weeks. At the Bensonwood workshop in New Hampshire, Tom assists finish carpenter Dennis Wright in applying "home slicker" and pre-stained white cedar shingles to the exterior wall panels. Back in Weston, plumbing contractor Lynne Keating demonstrates the plumbing connections for the prefab floor panels to Richard.
