Well, you know, it's a long way to go to put down a really soft wood at these dimensions. You guys have lined these up so that you're nailing not just through the subfloor but right into every joist. Helen's out trying to find a piece of wood that she wants to use for that. And Kevin, the carpenter, he did a beautiful job repurposing all those boards. So they put in a couple of hidden doors right here. And if you look here, because of the fireplace, the Rumford takes up less space.
Concord: Dormer Day
The Schwab family is looking to remodel their classic New England-style home in Newburyport, MA, to become their forever home. This 1,400-square-foot house (and others on the street) was initially built in 1889 to house the local shipbuilders. And when Bill and Helen, our homeowners, bought the property, well, the barn was in really bad shape, so Charlie and his crew took it down. Alright, so we got our two steel walls on each side, which is going to give us plenty of space, that 2-inch clearance that we need. You can't have any combustibles -- wood -- closer than two inches to a chimney or a fireplace.
Atlanta Cardboard Kitchen
We actually repurposed the old floorboards and boards that were up in the attic. Well, we are coming down to the home stretch, which means it is mostly about the finishes. Normally, we would light this cathedral ceiling with recessed cans, but that would take away from the rustic look. And then to match the existing house, which is a granite on the foundation, Mark has this. And this is the boards that were on the outside of the house.
Saratoga Legacy Restored: Smooth Finish
The crew installs the staircase, and Bob visits the factory where the pieces are made. The homeowners are busy painting, and host Bob Vila meets with a tile expert. The homeowner reviews the renovation budget, and Bob tours a historic 1770 colonial.
Concord: Race to the Finish
And so the homeowners liked the idea of creating a semi-circular driveway that would let them go in easily and come out easily. And, unfortunately, I can't see the project house through these invasive weeds. A lot of work with these mortise and tenons, although so is making nails, and I suspect they were expensive.
And because of the Historic Preservation Commission in this town, we needed to build this porch in the same location, same dimensions. Look at these guys, just walking around on the deck, sitting on the beams right there. I'm going to show you the entire building, including how it was constructed. So, if this wire is running parallel to the electrical wire, that'll create a hum or a noise in the speaker system when it's on.

They meet the homeowners, tour the project, and discuss the possible challenges. The crew heads to Atlanta, where work on an 1890s Victorian with a rich history is about to begin. They get a warm Southern welcome from the builder, project manager, and homeowners and are given a tour of the project and scope of work. The Roku Channel – New episodes of the current seasons of This Old House and Ask This Old House are added every Monday for free, on-demand viewing.

Installing flangeless windows; preparation begins for in ceiling speakers; installing porch decking. ♪♪ And once that's done, we're going to start working the rest of the roof trusses down the building and come to the front gable, and the whole building will be up and standing. We're penalizing all the wall panels, the roof trusses ahead of time at our facility and we're going to put it up today. So I'm off to meet homeowner Helen and get a tour of a shop where they make lanterns, chandeliers and other light fixtures by hand. You work around the heat, cut a hole in the floor, build a new wall. So what we did was, easy solution, cut a hole in the floor, extended the framing on this half wall, which will actually get screwed and bolted into the floor joist below.
Report a Problem
We can remove the first show in the list to add this one. But first, we need you to sign in to PBS using one of the services below. Instead of having 20 pipes coming in, we've only got these two lines coming in here and feeding all of these bathrooms.
Normally we would like this cathedral ceiling with recessed cans, but that would take away from the rustic look, so Heath has a clever solution. We mitered them, put them together one piece at a time up top. No sealer under it because it's inside the building, number one, but if you ever have to remove it, you want to be able to get it off.
At the house, out front we get to know the contractor while Ipe is being installed on the porch ceiling. Inside, a dual fuel HVAC system is installed and ducts ran. At the Dracut Centre School, corbels are restored.
Wide pine floorboards are installed with cut nails to match the existing wood in the original house. A kitchen sink is fabricated out of soapstone, and a backsplash is fabricated from an old board. A combination appliance efficiently supplies hot water where there's a high supply demand.
So, when the rainwater comes down and gets in behind the board on top of the flashing, it still can weep out all those little grooves. The problem is, is when we put the board on there, the flat side of the underside of the board will not allow the water to drain out. We have our flashing that comes down from the house and runs out to allow the water to run out. But now we have this board running parallel to the house. So, I'm going to measure from the outside back, hold the board gently against the house.
Factory-assembled exterior window trims save time and labor. The original staircase balusters and railings are modified. The homeowners meet with their interior designer and make selections. Excavation has begun for the foundation for the two-story addition off the opposite side of the ell. A post and beam system supports the house so the existing foundation can be removed to open the old basement up to the new.
The homeowners have decided on this for the final color of our eastern white pine clapboards. Too bad we couldn't reuse these roof boards and make them part of the trim detail in the new kitchen cathedral ceiling." The team begins a new project in Saratoga Springs, NY. Tom Silva and Kevin O'Connor meet the homeowners whose family has owned the 1864 house for seven generations.
