The project is halfway through construction. A closet is built in the original gambrel bedroom, and a water harvesting system is installed in the yard. The homeowner tours a handmade lighting factory. A gas boiler is vented to mimic a plumbing vent stack pipe. The old barn is replaced with a new boathouse built in a factory and assembled onsite in a day. Shrubs are protected for future planting.
