Kevin O'Connor meets Charlie Silva upstairs, who explains his phased approach to insulation: attic first, then the rest of the house. They review the bathroom plans. Kevin checks on solar prep with Dan McCarthy and gutter work with Tom Silva. Meanwhile, Heath Eastman travels to NH to help rewire an antique chandelier. Back at the house, Kevin and Charlie finish the portico railings.
