Restoration expert Danny Palousek demonstrates to master carpenter Norm Abram the intricate process of repointing and restoring the house’s decorative brick facade. Meanwhile, host Kevin O'Connor heads to the industrial waterfront of southwest Washington to observe architectural ironwork specialist Fred Mashack as he revitalizes the front entrance stairs. Inside, the drywall has been installed and is ready for finishing, while cabinet installer Oliver Earl sets up new maple cabinets.
