Master Bedroom Project


Building the Foundation (HA0615)


Bob and contractor Paul Morse check out the progress at the Newton site: the excavation's been done for the new addition, and we see the process of building the foundation from start to finish: forming, cement pouring, inspection, still work, and backfilling. We even take a special trip to Boston Sand & Gravel to see how the cement is produced to order for the job.
