Victorian Restoration Project


Final House Tour (HA1226)


The Medford project is complete, and Bob takes us on a tour of the finished house. Outside, Bob catches up with homeowner Rikk Larsen and talks about the new features in the yard, including the new porch and pergolas. The barn has a new second floor studio area, and Bob takes a look at re-furbished wide plank flooring. In the main house, Bob talks to Markus Earley about the lighting design in the dining area, and Bob tours the new kitchen before meeting with Tim Woods from Internet Home Alliance to talk about the "connected home" features. In the family room, Gary Johnston from DuPont talks about the Stainmaster carpet, and Tim Woods is back to show Bob the new entertainment center. On the second floor Bob pays a final visit to general contractor Charlie Tomaszewski and tours the finished master suite, taking a look at the tubular skylight, then goes up to the third floor to take a look at the new office space and guest bedroom.
