This Old House

The hard work continues to ensure all features are properly woven into the original house, like the new granite veneer water table. The original roof boards are installed on the ceiling in the new ell. A new fieldstone wall creates a defined front entrance. The new plumbing manifold is explained. A young carpenter talks about his return to the trades. A window sash is installed in a door.

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.
