Episode Overview
In this episode, host Kevin O'Connor explores Harvard University's restoration initiatives on several historic structures, notably the recently revived Memorial Hall, which suffered severe fire damage in the 1950s. Meanwhile, landscape contractor Roger Cook sets up two concrete storage tanks in the project house's backyard, aimed at remedying George's flooded yard through an underground water collection system. Inside the garage, a local home center team applies a two-part epoxy coating to the concrete slab, achieving a stunning showroom finish. Master carpenter Norm Abram visits a custom mill shop in Middletown, Rhode Island, where stair treads and other millwork for the project are being crafted. In the driveway, Roger demonstrates the installation of new concrete pavers equipped with radiant snow-melting technology.
