0402 - Wall Construction and Roof Removal September 13-19, 1993 | March 14-20, 1994 HI. I'M BOB VILA.
WELCOME HOME AGAIN
TO THE LITTLE RANCH HOUSE
ON LAKE COCHITUATE.
TODAY WE'VE GOT A LOT
OF DEMOLITION HAPPENING,
AND WE'LL GIVE YOU AN IDEA
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO
IF YOU WANT TO TAKE THE ROOF
OFF YOUR RANCH HOUSE.
IT INVOLVES DEMOLITION
AS WELL AS PUTTING TOGETHER
THE NEW STRUCTURE.
WE'RE ALSO TAKING YOU
ON A TOUR
OF THE SHIRLEY EUSTIS
COLONIAL GOVERNOR'S MANSION
IN BOSTON, A WONDERFUL
18th CENTURY STRUCTURE.
SO STICK AROUND!
IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU
HOME AGAIN.
CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY
B.V.T.V.
MOST OF TODAY'S ACTION
IS ON THIS SIDE OF THE HOUSE.
WE'VE ALREADY STRIPPED
ALL THE SIDING,
WHICH WAS AN UNUSUAL TYPE
OF BOARD SIDING
OFF OF THIS END,
AND THIS IS GOING TO RECEIVE
A SECOND STORY ADDITION.
BUT THE REAL WORK HAS BEEN
IN THIS SECTION,
WHERE THE ADDITION FOUNDATION
TALKED ABOUT LAST WEEK
HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
WE'VE GOT A DECK ON,
AND WE'RE INSTALLING THE WALLS.
LET'S CHECK IN
WITH RYLEY AND LARRY.
BOY, YOU GUYS HAVE REALLY
MADE PROGRESS.
HI, FELLAS.
HI, BOB.
HI, RYLEY.
HI, LARRY.
HI, BOB.
SO WHEN WE WERE HERE
LAST WEEK
WE HAD A FOUNDATION BOARD,
AND THAT'S ABOUT IT.
NOW WE'VE GOT
THE BASIC ADDITION
TO THE HOUSE ALL READY.
YEAH, WE DO.
THIS IS THE KITCHEN
AREA, THE EATING AREA.
AND WE'LL HAVE
A GIGANTIC
WINDOW IN HERE
AND ANOTHER HUGE
WINDOW OVER HERE.
ARE THEY
PICTURE WINDOWS, LARRY?
THEY'RE AWNING
UNITS UNDERNEATH,
THREE UNITS
TOGETHER.
SO THE TOP WILL
REALLY BE LIKE
A PICTURE WINDOW.
BASICALLY.
YOU'LL SEE THREE
BIG SECTIONS UP TOP
WITH AWNINGS
UNDERNEATH.
GIVE ME AN IDEA OF
THE EVENTS THAT HAPPENED
FROM THE TIME
WE POURED THE FOUNDATION.
FOUR DAYS AGO
WE STRIPPED
THE FORMS, BOB.
AT THAT POINT,
WE HAD TO SQUARE UP
THE SILL PLATE,
THE DOUBLE SILL PLATE,
PRESSURE TREATED WOOD,
TO SQUARE UP
TO THE EXISTING HOUSE--
THE KITCHEN IS
A VERY IMPORTANT ROOM--
SO THAT EVERYTHING
COMES OUT NICE INSIDE.
THEN, WHAT WE DID
WAS BUILD OUR
FLOOR SYSTEM
ON TOP OF THAT,
WHICH HAS INSIDE
OF IT INSULATION,
BECAUSE IT'S A CRAWL
SPACE UNDERNEATH.
AND THEN WE PUT
THESE WALLS UP.
THE FLOOR LOOKS
GOOD AND TIGHT, RYLEY.
SOMETHING WORTH NOTING
IS THE IMPORTANCE
OF MAKING SURE
THE TOP OF
THE FOUNDATION IS
IN THE RIGHT SPOT--
AND YOU CAN SEE
RIGHT OVER HERE.
RIGHT. WHEN YOU LAY IT
AND YOU GET
YOUR NEW SUB FLOOR,
YOU WANT TO HAVE
A NICE TRANSITION
WHEN YOU'RE GOING
FROM THE OLD TO NEW.
YOU CAN BRING
THIS FINISHED FLOOR
STRAIGHT ACROSS.
THAT REALLY
IS CRITICAL
THAT YOU GET
THE TOP FOUNDATION
TO LINE UP RIGHT.
THAT TELLS
THE TALE.
IS THIS WALL
FINISHED?
IT'S JUST ABOUT
READY TO GO.
LET'S DESCRIBE
WHAT WE'VE GOT.
THIS IS A DOORWAY,
RIGHT, LARRY?
YES. THIS WILL BE
THE DOORWAY
FOR THE KITCHEN ENTRY...
INTO THE GARDEN.
AND THERE'LL BE
A BANK OF CABINETS
RIGHT ALONG THIS--
UNDERNEATH THIS WINDOW.
SO THIS WALL,
THE WAY IT'S FRAMED,
WILL THEY
SHOOT IT NOW?
THEY'RE READY TO PUT
THE TOP PLATE ON.
LET'S LOOK AT
THE WAY IT'S LAID OUT.
IF WE LOOK AT
THIS CORNER,
YOU GOT REGULAR STUDS
ALWAYS LAID OUT,
16 INCHES ON CENTER,
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT
IF YOU LOOK
AT THE TOP PLATE.
IN THE DOORWAY
YOU'VE GOT
A PAIR OF STUDS
AND A PAIR
OF JACK STUDS
THAT COME TO JUST
BELOW THE DOOR.
TO SUPPORT
THE HEADER, YES.
AND THEN OVER HERE,
WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS?
THIS IS OUR
PETITION BACKER, BOB.
YOU USE THIS
WHENEVER YOU HAVE
ONE WALL COMING
INTO ANOTHER WALL
AT A PERPENDICULAR
ANGLE.
YOU PUT THREE STUDS
TOGETHER LIKE THAT.
THE NEXT WALL,
WE'LL NEED IT THERE.
LET'S WATCH
YOU SHOOT IT.
OK, GUYS.
GOOD.
IT'S GOT ENOUGH NAILS,
AND IT'S READY TO GO?
YEAH, IT'S ALL SET.
WHY DON'T WE ALL
PITCH IN, HUH?
NOT MUCH WEIGHT
TO THIS THING.
[BOB]
THAT'S THE MOST
IMPORTANT PART
OF THE EQUATION,
IS GETTING THAT CORNER
GOOD AND PLUMB.
ONCE YOU GOT
ONE NAIL IN IT...
[SNAP]
GOOD. THAT'LL HOLD.
THE QUESTION
THAT COMES TO MIND
IS HOW DO YOU
KEEP TRACK
OF THE
CONSTRUCTION JOB?
WELL, WE'VE GOT
A CONSTRUCTION
FLOWCHART, BOB.
LET'S LOOK AT IT.
RYLEY, WHAT IS
THE PURPOSE
OF A CONSTRUCTION
FLOWCHART?
THIS HELPS US KEEP TRACK
OF THE AMOUNT
OF TIME IT TAKES
TO COMPLETE
THE CONSTRUCTION.
DIFFERENT ASPECTS
OF THE JOB.
WE WANT TO GET
THESE PEOPLE
BACK INTO THIS HOUSE
BY THE END OF JULY,
WHICH GIVES US
THREE MONTHS,
MAY, JUNE, AND JULY.
WE'VE ALREADY GOT
A LOT OF THIS IN HERE.
LARRY, STEP IN
AND LET'S TALK ABOUT
WHAT THESE NUMBERS
REPRESENT.
LAST WEEK WE COMPLETED
THE FOUNDATION...
IN THE FIRST
WEEK OF MAY, RIGHT?
EXACTLY. AND WE
DEMOED THE FIRST FLOOR.
WE'RE STILL DOING
A BIT HERE AND THERE.
THE ADDITION DECK
AND WALL FRAME
HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.
YEP, WE WERE
JUST THERE.
AND THE DEMO
OF THE OUTER WALLS
WILL GO SYNONYMOUS
WITH THE ROOF.
BUT WE'RE WORKING
ON THAT AT THE MOMENT.
STILL IN
THE SECOND WEEK.
THE NEW WALLS
OF THE FIRST FLOOR
WILL BE COMPLETED
BY THE END OF
THIS WEEK.
THOSE WERE INTERIOR
STRUCTURAL WALLS.
THEY WERE MAINLY
THE OUTER WALLS.
THE INTERIOR
FIRST FLOOR WALLS
ARE ALREADY COMPLETED.
AND WE'RE WAITING
FOR A WINDOW OF WEATHER
THAT WOULD GUARANTEE US
A SOLID WEEK TIME
WITHOUT ANY MAJOR
WEATHER PATTERNS...
TO REMOVE
THE ROOF, YEAH.
TO REMOVE THE ROOF
AND START ON
THE SECOND FLOOR DECK.
IT'S IMPORTANT
TO KEEP AN IDEA
OF WHERE WE WOULD
LIKE TO BE
IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS,
IN THIS TWO TO THREE
WEEK SPAN, HERE,
TO GET THIS HOUSE
WEATHERTIGHT.
THAT'S THE KEY,
YEAH,
'CAUSE YOU'VE ONLY
REALLY PUT IN
ALL THESE ELEMENTS
WHICH ARE
THE ROUGH FRAMING,
THE ROUGH CONSTRUCTION,
WHICH ARE KEY.
ONCE YOU'RE
WEATHERTIGHT,
THEN YOU CAN START
WORKING ON SCHEDULE,
BRINGING IN ALL
THE DIFFERENT SUBS
FOR THE ELECTRICAL WORK
AND THE DRY WALL.
IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS
WE'LL INJECT
THOSE ELEMENTS.
IT DOESN'T BEHOOVE
US TO DO THAT
AT THIS POINT.
BY THE END OF JULY
WE'VE GOTTA HAVE
THESE PEOPLE
BACK IN THE HOUSE,
AND YOU'LL GIVE THEM
AN OCCUPANCY PERMIT.
WHEN WE COME BACK,
WE'LL VISIT A DIFFERENT HOUSE
THAT'S BEEN AROUND
FOR A COUPLE CENTURIES.
IT'S THE SHIRLEY EUSTIS HOUSE,
ONE OF THE TWO REMAINING
COLONIAL GOVERNORS MANSIONS
IN THE COUNTRY.
STAY WITH ME.
I'M IN ROXBURY,
A PART OF BOSTON
THAT DATES BACK
TO THE 16OOs.
IT'S A DENSELY URBAN PART
OF THE CITY,
AND LOTS OF HOUSES
LIKE THE ONES BEHIND ME.
HERE WE HAVE
THE SHIRLEY EUSTIS MANSION,
A COLONIAL GOVERNOR'S HOME,
THAT DATES TO THE MID-17OOs
AND LOOKS AS IF IT'S STILL
THAT POINT IN TIME.
WE'LL MEET WITH LYNN HOFFMAN,
PRESIDENT OF THE SHIRLEY EUSTIS
HOUSE ASSOCIATION.
SHE'LL BE OUR HOSTESS.
HI, LYNN.
HI, BOB.
FIRST QUESTION,
HOW DOES A WONDERFUL
HOUSE LIKE THIS
SURVIVE IN THE CITY?
WE'VE BEEN FORTUNATE
BY HAVING THE PROTECTION
AND NEIGHBORLY SERVICES
OF THIS COMMUNITY.
THE PEOPLE OF
THIS NEIGHBORHOOD
ARE PROUD OF THE
SHIRLEY EUSTIS HOUSE.
THEY LOOK OUT
AFTER IT.
CERTAINLY, AND
WE ARE PART OF
A LONG ASSOCIATION
FOUNDED IN 1911 BY
WILLIAM SUMNER APPLETON.
WE'VE HAD BENEFITS
OF MANY YEARS
OF VOLUNTEERISM.
THERE'S BEEN
A PRESERVATION
ASSOCIATED
WITH THE HOUSE
FOR A LONG TIME.
TELL US ABOUT
THE ARCHITECTURE.
IT'S A WONDERFULLY
SYMMETRICAL
PALLADIAN FACADE,
AS YOU KNOW.
ALTHOUGH THE HOUSE
WAS BUILT
IN THE EARLY 17OOs,
IT WAS RESTORED
TO THE FEDERAL PERIOD
OF ABOUT 182O,
SO YOU SEE MANY
FEDERAL DETAIL.
IT'S GOT PILASTERS,
AND IT'S GOT
THE CENTRAL DOOR
AND THE SYMMETRY,
BALANCE, WINDOWS,
THE DOUBLE HIT ROOF
AND THE CUPOLA,
BUT THE EAVE DETAILING
IS UNUSUAL.
IT'S VERY ELABORATE.
AS YOU KNOW,
IT'S NOT THAT COMMON
TO SEE THAT AMOUNT
OF DETAIL--
THE BEADS,
THE PERFORATION--
IT'S AN INTERESTING
FEDERAL PERIOD.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
SHALL WE GO INSIDE?
YES.
AH, BEAUTIFUL.
WHY IS IT CALLED
THE SHIRLEY EUSTIS HOUSE?
THIS IS NAMED AFTER
GOVERNOR WILLIAM
SHIRLEY,
A ROYAL GOVERNOR
OF THE MASSACHUSETTS
BAY COLONY,
AND GOVERNOR
WILLIAM EUSTIS,
A DEMOCRATICALLY
ELECTED GOVERNOR
OF THE COMMONWEALTH.
TWO SEPARATE
GOVERNORS.
SO, THIS IS
THE GREAT HALL.
HOW WOULD THIS ROOM
HAVE BEEN USED?
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN USED
FOR RECEPTIONS
AND ENTERTAINMENT, BOB.
THE CHANDELIER
IS UNBELIEVABLE.
IT'S AN 18th CENTURY
IRISH CRYSTAL
CHANDELIER,
A GIFT OF A VERY
GENEROUS DONOR,
ILLUMINATION
FROM CANDLES.
IT ORIGINALLY HUNG
IN OXFORD COLLEGE.
A GREAT STORY.
IS THIS STAIRCASE
AND BALCONY
PART OF THE ORIGINAL
175Os HOUSE?
THE ORIGINAL HOUSE
HAD A MUSICIANS
GALLERY.
THE BALCONY
AND STAIRCASE
WERE ADDED
DURING THE FEDERAL
RESTORATION.
YOU CAN SEE
WONDERFUL DETAILING
IN THE BALUSTERS.
THEY'RE SO SLENDER.
VERY SLENDER,
AND DELICATE.
A REPETITION
OF THREE TURNINGS
ON EACH STAIR.
YES. AND AT THIS END
OF THE HALL
WE'VE GOT PROBABLY
ONE OF THE BEST
PALLADIAN WINDOW
ARRANGEMENTS
I'VE EVER SEEN,
THE CENTRAL ARCHED BODY
FLANKED BY THE TWO WINDOWS.
THE PILASTERS--
ARE THEY WOOD-CARVED CAPITALS?
WOOD-CARVED
CORINTHIAN CAPITALS.
WHEN THIS WAS
THE GOVERNOR'S HOUSE,
YOU COULD HAVE SEEN
ALL THE WAY TO
BOSTON HARBOR.
IMAGINE THAT.
WHERE SHALL
WE GO NEXT?
HOW ABOUT
THE DINING ROOM?
THE PROPORTIONS
OF THE ROOM ARE TERRIFIC.
IT'S ABOUT
2O BY 2O.
MARVELOUS. IS THE CORNICE
DETAILING ORIGINAL?
YES, IT'S AN ORIGINAL
PLASTER CORNICE,
ORIGINAL TO
THE FEDERAL PERIOD.
AND THE MANTEL?
THE MANTEL IS ALSO
ORIGINAL CARVED WOOD.
ALL CARVED WOOD.
REALLY NEAT.
I'VE NEVER SEEN
A WINDOW SHUTTER
PLACED IN FRONT OF
THE HEARTH OPENING.
THIS WAS USED
IN THE SUMMERTIME
TO KEEP BIRDS
FROM ENTERING
THE HOUSE.
THE CARPET REALLY
CATCHES MY EYE.
VERY STRONG COLORS.
VERY STRONG,
BRIGHT, VIBRANT,
BRUSSELS CARPET
MADE FOR US--
TYPICAL OF WHAT
WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE.
THIS LOOKS LIKE
GRAINING FAUX BOIS.
YES, VERY MUCH
DETAILED,
INCLUDING
THE MATCHED KNOTS.
AND THE GRAINING
BANDING
THAT LOOKS LIKE INLAY.
LIKE SATINWOOD.
IT'S PROBABLY
A PINE DOOR
THAT THEY DRESSED
UP TO LOOK
LIKE IT WAS MADE
OF PRECIOUS WOOD.
ARE ANY FURNISHINGS
ORIGINAL?
YES, THIS IS
AN INTERESTING COLLECTION,
A PORT DECANTER
AND TWO GLASSES
THAT WERE USED TO TOAST
GENERAL LAFAYETTE
ON HIS LAST VISIT
TO THE UNITED STATES
IN 1824.
CAN WE SEE
A ROOM UPSTAIRS?
LET'S DO THAT.
LOVELY. ARE ALL
THE ROOMS FURNISHED?
NO, BOB. WE'RE BEGINNING
OUR CAMPAIGN
TO FURNISH
ALL THE ROOMS
IN THE STYLE
OF THE EUSTIS'.
WONDERFUL.
THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN
A TYPICAL BEDROOM.
TELL US ABOUT THE BED.
IT'S QUITE
AN ELABORATE BED,
ALTHOUGH THE WOOD CARVING
WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN
AS ELABORATE
AS THE BED COVERINGS
OR THE MATTRESS ITSELF.
THE HANGINGS WOULD
HAVE BEEN MORE
EXPENSIVE
THAN THE BED,
YOU'RE SAYING.
AND MOST EXPENSIVE
WOULD BE
THE FEATHER MATTRESS.
A LUMPY
FEATHER MATTRESS.
I IMAGINE IT'S LIKE
SLEEPING ON A CLOUD.
THE WALLPAPER
IN HERE IS UNUSUAL.
IT IS.
IT'S BEEN
HISTORICALLY RESEARCHED
AND REPLICATED.
ALL THE COLORS
ARE ORIGINAL.
WE FOUND
A SCRAP OF PAPER
DURING THE 198Os
RESTORATION,
AND WE DUPLICATED IT.
YOU HAD IT
DUPLICATED.
THE COLORS OF THE TRIM
ARE ALSO CORRECT?
YES, THEY ARE.
WHEN IS THE HOUSE
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC?
THE HOUSE IS OPEN
ON OUR SUMMER BASIS,
BETWEEN THURSDAY
AND SUNDAY AFTERNOONS.
AND YOU'RE LOCATED
IN THE HEART
OF ROXBURY,
A FEW BLOCKS FROM
BOSTON CITY HOSPITAL.
TWO BLOCKS SOUTH.
LYNN, THANKS
FOR THE TOUR.
WE'LL BE BACK
AFTER THESE MESSAGES.
ÀI:
[BOB]
EARLIER TODAY,
WE STARTED REMOVING
THE ROOF SHEATHING,
JUST CUTTING THROUGH
THE OLD SHEATHING
AND THE SHINGLES
WITH A CIRCULAR SAW.
AND ONCE THESE PIECES
ARE REMOVED,
WE CAN START TAKING OFF
THE ROOF RAFTERS.
THIS IS REALLY THE BEST
WAY TO DO IT,
ISN'T IT, FELLAS?
'CAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE
TO CUT OUT
HUGE SECTIONS
OF THE ROOF.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE
SAFETY IN MIND
AT ALL TIMES, BOB.
PEOPLE ARE INSIDE
CUTTING RAFTERS
FROM UNDERNEATH.
THESE BOARDS
ARE COMING OFF.
"THE PERSUADER."
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE
A SLEDGE HAMMER
TO MAKE QUICK WORK
OUT OF IT.
THIS IS PRETTY LOOSE
AT THE END, HERE.
WHEN CAN WE TAKE OFF
THE RAFTERS?
UH, WE'LL BE
TAKING OFF
THE RAFTERS
AFTER HE FINISHES
THESE FEW BOARDS.
AND IT'S BEING
SUPPORTED RIGHT NOW
BY A TEMPORARY WALL
ON THE INSIDE,
AS YOU MAY BE ABLE
TO SEE RIGHT NOW.
YOU HAD TO BUILD THAT
SO YOU COULD
GET UP HERE
AND WORK ON THIS.
THE NEXT STEP
INVOLVES PUTTING IN
A PIECE OF STEEL.
YOU MIGHT BE ABLE
TO SEE IT IN
THE BACKGROUND.
THE REST OF THE
ROOFING IN THIS AREA
ALSO HAS TO BE
REMOVED.
CORRECT, BOB.
YOU'RE LOOKING AT
THE ORIGINAL SHEATHING
WHICH IS 1 BY 1O...
WITH THE ORIGINAL
15 POUND FELT.
DO YOU THINK
THESE SHINGLES
ARE 35 YEARS OLD?
AT FIRST IT LOOKS
AS THOUGH IT IS
THE WAY EVERYTHING'S
BEEN PUT DOWN,
BUT CHECKING
THE CHIMNEY,
IT'S DEFINITELY
BEEN REDONE.
THE SHINGLES
OVER THERE
ARE IN THE SAME
SHAPE AS THESE.
THIS MIGHT BE
A 1O OR 15
YEAR OLD ROOF.
LET'S GO INSIDE
TO GET A BETTER
UNDERSTANDING
OF THE STRUCTURE
OF THE ROOF.
WELL, WE'VE GOT
A FRONT DOOR STILL,
EVEN THOUGH NOT TOO MANY
WALLS LEFT AROUND HERE.
SO WHAT'S HAPPENING
HERE NEXT, LARRY?
WE HAVE TO TAKE DOWN
THE REMAINING CEILING
JOISTS,
AND THEN WE CAN
TAKE DOWN
THE TEMPORARY SHORING WALL
WE HAVE HERE.
YEAH, THIS IS
TEMPORARY.
THEN WE PUT THAT
PIECE OF STEEL IN,
WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY
CARRY THE FLOOR LOADS
FOR THE SECOND FLOOR.
SO YOU'VE GOT PREP
TO DO OVER HERE.
YES, I'LL HELP
THESE GUYS.
AND THESE ARE
THE 2 BY 1Os
THAT WE SAW BEING
PUSHED INTO
THE HOUSE FRAME.
THEY PERFORM
A STRUCTURAL FUNCTION
BECAUSE WHEN
YOU WANT TO PUT UP
A SECOND FLOOR,
IF ALL YOU HAVE
IS A 2 BY 6 CEILING,
SUCH AS THIS ONE,
YOU CAN'T PUT
A FLOOR DECK
ON TOP OF IT.
YOU'VE GOT
TO BEEF IT UP
BY SISTERING ON
A 2 BY 1O.
HOW COME
THEY OVERLAP?
I'VE CANTILEVERED
THEM OUT
BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA
HAVE A BALCONY ON TOP
THAT WILL OVERLOOK
THIS ROOM HERE.
THIS ROOF
IS ALL COMING OFF.
WHEN THE SECOND
FLOOR IS ON,
THIS PART OF IT
IS AN OPEN
CATHEDRAL CEILING.
LET'S CHECK OUT
OVER HERE.
OK, SO...
ALL THE OLD JOISTS
COME DOWN NOW.
AND AGAIN, WE'RE USING
THE SLEDGE HAMMER.
OK, LET ME HAVE
ONE OF THOSE.
THAT WALL IS TILTING
IN A LITTLE BIT.
HERE WE GO.
[BOB]
RYLEY, WHY DO
WE NEED STEEL HERE?
WHEN WE'RE DONE
YOU WANNA HAVE
A FLAT CEILING
ACROSS HERE,
AND YOU NEED
A GRIP TO CARRY
THIS 22-FOOT SPAN.
THAT'S THE MAIN
THING HERE.
THE SPAN HERE
IS 22 FEET
FROM ONE END
OF THE DINING ROOM
TO THE OTHER.
IT'S GONNA DROP, TOO.
WATCH YOUR FEET.
BACK UP, BACK UP.
VERY GOOD.
I'M NOT TALL ENOUGH.
OK. SLIDE IT.
WHOA WHOA WHOA!
THAT'S GOOD?
ALL RIGHT.
TWIST!
ALL RIGHT.
YOU WANNA SLIDE IT OVER
AND PUT THE BOTTOM IN.
THERE YOU GO.
THAT SIDE'S
NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
WE'RE GONNA BREAK
FOR SOME MESSAGES.
WE'LL BE BACK.
THAT'LL WRAP THINGS UP
FOR THIS WEEK.
DEMOLITION'S
ALMOST COMPLETE,
AND WE'VE GOT THIS NICE PIECE
OF STEEL WHERE WE WANT IT.
COME BACK NEXT TIME
WHEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT
THE FRAMING
ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
WE'LL ALSO SHOW YOU
HOW THE WALLS GO UP,
AND WE'LL TOUR
"OLD IRONSIDES,"
THE U.S.S. CONSTITUTION,
A WONDERFUL SHIP WHICH
IS IN DRY DOCK IN BOSTON.
WE'RE GONNA SEE
HOW IT'S FRAMED.
WE'LL GIVE TIPS
ON HOW TO BUILD
A DORMER ON
THE SECOND FLOOR.I'M BOB VILA. IT'S GOOD
TO HAVE YOU HOME AGAIN.
I'M BOB VILA.
NEXT TIME ON HOME AGAIN
WE'LL SHOW YOU HOW
TO TAKE THE ROOF
OFF OF YOUR RANCH HOUSE.
HERE AT OUR LITTLE RANCH
ON THE SHORES
OF LAKE COCHITUATE
DEMOLITION IS UNDERWAY.
THAT MEANS THE WHOLE ROOF
HAS TO COME OFF.
WE'RE ALSO SHOWING YOU
HOW TO START RESTRUCTURING
FOR THE BUILDING
OF THAT SECOND FLOOR.
AND WE'RE GOING ON A TOUR
OF THE SHIRLEY EUSTIS MANSION,
ONE OF THE EARLIEST COLONIAL
GOVERNORS' MANSIONS
ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY,
BUT THIS ONE'S IN THE HEART
OF OLD BOSTON.
SO DON'T MISS IT.
THAT'S NEXT TIME
ON HOME AGAIN.
I'M BOB VILA.
NEXT TIME ON HOME AGAIN
THE ROOF IS COMING OFF
OUR LITTLE RANCH HOUSE.
AND WE'RE TAKING YOU
ON A TOUR
OF A COLONIAL GOVERNOR'S
MANSION.
DON'T MISS IT.
