Manhattan Remodel & Cape Cod Affordable Project

Salvaging the Sink and Removing Asbestos Tile Video

Bob meets Jim Kweskin of Fort Hill Construction who will serve as the project supervisor for the Brownstone remodel. Kweskin points out the salvage work that is taking place, including the removal of the pink sink. Mario Pagano of Pagano Plumbing removes the sink and tells Bob how unusual and desireable both the sink and faucet are to salvage specialists and remodelers. He also points out how improtant it is to save things during demolition. Bob reviews the demolition schedule with Kweskin and learns that asbestos tile was discovered in the kitchen, which meant calling an asbestos abatement contractor and slowing the demolition schedule by a couple of days. Kweskin expects demolition to be complete within a week.
