Tommy and Kevin replace a 100-year-old wooden beam with a new steel beam supporting the new addition. Norm visits local Arts & Crafts style houses with historian Richard Duffy. The old oil tank gets drained and removed by a specialist. Digging for the new foundation begins and the old concrete pieces from the patio and foundation get transported to a recycling center, which Tommy and Kevin tour.
