    Host Kevin O'Connor and landscape contractor Roger Cook meet landscape architect Stephanie Hubbard to review her plan for the property, which features the rural simplicity of open spaces, low stone walls, hedges, and a few new elm trees. Plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey installs a new 2000-gallon dual compartment septic tank and formulates a plan for the rough plumbing. Master carpenter Norm Abram meets architect Jeremiah Eck and discovered how modern window selections will update the New England farmstead vernacular. General contractor Tom Silva brings in specialist Kevin Kirkland to treat the new construction with a non-toxic borate solution to protect against future insect infestations.
