The Tunnel
S27E10 Cambridge | Creating a Dramatic Entryway
In this episode, host Kevin O'Connor and plumbing expert Richard Trethewey visit the beloved local spot, "Mr. Bartley's Burger Cottage." Master carpenter Norm Abram discusses the choice to utilize a previously debated exterior cladding system called an "exterior insulated finishing system" or EIFS. Installer Dan Rourke demonstrates how manufacturers have improved the product over the past ten years to address water infiltration issues. Meanwhile, in the library, Kevin discovers general contractor Tom Silva and chimney expert Mark Schaub collaborating on the new gas fireplace unit to determine the vent pipe's placement in the updated "chimney."
