The crew sees firsthand the challenges of rebuilding in the wake of a natural disaster.
Elsewhere, Mark tours an historic inn to find inspiration and appreciate the region’s architectural heritage. In a look at modern building science, Richard joins a team of experts as they work to air seal Paula’s house.
