Kitchen Remodel Project


Inspection of Structure (HA0602)


We meet contractor Ed Weller, and he and Bob take a tour of another work in progress for a look at some building techniques unique to tropical climes like Miami's. Bob takes a tour of the Barnacle, one of the first houses built in Dade County, to see how early settlers built to deal with the heat. Back on site, work gets started: plant removal and inspection of existing structure is necessary before demolition can begin.
