A cannonball is discovered at the jobsite that may be a souvenir from the war of 1812! Master carpenter Norm Abram shows host Kevin O'Connor the progress on the framing of the old Greek Revival house and the new connecting ell. General contractor Tom Silva explains how he's built up all ten posts on the short side of the barn by using scarf joints and introduces Kevin to two carpentry students that are part of the apprenticeship program. Kevin travels to New Haven, Conn., to see the Yale Building Project — a graduate class that requires ivy-league architecture students to "learn by doing" as they design and build a stylish urban home in a low-income neighborhood. Back at our project, Norm meets structural insulated panel expert Frank Baker to see another application for SIPS technology — it's a fast way to install an insulated structural floor.
