The Tunnel
S31E08 Newton Centre; Father and Son Lend a Hand
General contractor Tom Silva recreates the vintage trim details around the newly installed windows in the addition using durable cellular PVC that won't deteriorate. Master carpenter Norm Abram puts in a pre-hung Douglas fir exterior door for the back entrance. Architect Paul Rovinelli guides host Kevin O'Connor through a recently updated Dutch Colonial Revival that maximizes its compact space. Meanwhile, Tom enlists the help of homeowner Bill Pierce and his father, Bill Pierce, Sr., as they tackle the removal of old bookshelves and a plaster wall to access the new library addition.
