Project: Stone Wall Construction and Covered Bridges

The mason on-site installing a retaining wall, Hector, shows Bob how to split a piece of granite that is too large and heavy to use as is.

Bob visits with carpenter Mark Fortunati, who is building a traditional-looking staircase in the foyer.

Bob tours several of the lovingly preserved covered bridges in Vermont and New England, in general. He explains the origins of these bridges, as well as the most popular approaches to building them.

Bob meets up with landscape mason Hector Santos, who is building a dried-laid stone retaining wall.
