Kevin arrives to find Tommy working on fixing the old addition subfloor. When he first toured the house, Tommy noticed a 3/4-inch elevation change between the dining room and the family room. They also need to restructure the corner of the floor where the new wood-burning stove will go.
Meanwhile, Richard travels to an architectural salvage yard in New Hampshire to meet the homeowners and their designer, Chloe Rideout, as they shop for the right tub. Liz and Joe want a very traditional look for their new master bath. Chloe thinks an antique claw-foot tub should be the focal point.
Back in Newton, the front porch can use a lot of love. Tommy shows the apprentices how far out of level it is, and he's coming up with a plan to fix it.
Kevin travels to the rough neighborhoods of Baltimore to find a Generation NEXT success story. It's called Project JumpStart, and it helps turn recovering drug addicts and nonviolent offenders into job candidates for the construction trades.
Back at the project house, the architect has drawn a hip roof over the new garage. Tommy teaches the apprentices how to calculate the cuts needed to make the rafters.

Great story. I have an 18-year old nephew who's a high functioning austic person. He works p/t in a grocery store. I'd love nothing more than for him to learn a construction trade.

Much respect for those men from project jumpstart. I hope they do well in the trades and go on to teach others. Salute gents!!

Tommy, it takes a lot of patience to be an effective teacher. You're surley patient.

Nothing makes an instructor prouder than to see newbies listen to instruction and put it into action. To be shown the ropes by the big dog Tom Silva would be an honor.
-
Watching the section on Project Jump Start was terrific! Looks like an awesome program and my hats off to the people learning trades and to the people running it.
-
Glad to see that Baltimore has a program like that. Wish more cities would start one. A thumb up to the apprentices for their work on that roof. Tom's a good and patient teacher of his trade.
