0410 - Modifying a Window and Copper Plumbing
November 8-14, 1993 | May 9-15, 1994
I'M BOB VILA.
WELCOME HOME AGAIN.
WE'VE GOT LOTS OF CARPENTRY.
TODAY, RYLEY WILL GIVE TIPS
ON REPLACING WINDOWS.
WE HAVE AN EXISTING
SINGLE WINDOW
THAT WANTS TO COME OUT
SO A DOUBLE WINDOW
CAN BE PUT IN THE DEN.
WE HAVE TO REFRAME
AND PUT IN A NEW HEADER.
WE'LL TAKE YOU
TO MIAMI BEACH.
WE'LL VISIT ART DECO HOTELS
THAT HAVE BEEN RESTORED.
BACK HERE,
WE'LL HAVE THE PLUMBER
GIVING TIPS ON HOW YOU SWEAT
JOINTS WITH COPPER PIPES.
STICK AROUND. IT'S GOOD
TO HAVE YOU HOME AGAIN.
CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY
B.V.T.V.
LAST WEEK, WE FINISHED FRAMING
THE ROOF OF THIS FARMER'S PORCH.
RIGHT NOW, RYLEY IS HERE
TO HELP US RECYCLE
SOME OF THE WINDOWS.
HI, RYLEY.
HI, BOB.
HOW'S IT GOING?
GOOD.
THIS IS ALWAYS
TEDIOUS WORK.
THE WINDOWS IN
THE HOUSE HAD BEEN
REPLACED THREE YEARS AGO.
THEY'RE RELATIVELY
BRAND NEW.
IN THIS CASE,
WHAT WAS THE DINING ROOM,
WHICH WILL BE THE DEN,
IS GOING TO GET
DOUBLED UP.
WE'RE TAKING
THIS WINDOW OUT
AND PUTTING TWO
SIDE BY SIDE, RIGHT?
WE'LL MAKE
A MULLION WINDOW
OUT OF IT.
WE'LL PUT
A STUD POCKET
IN THE MIDDLE.
I'VE HAD A COUPLE
OF CONVERSATIONS
WITH PEOPLE...
THE DRAWINGS HAVE
THIS WINDOW CENTERED
ON THE WINDOW ABOVE.
THE OWNER WANTS TO
BE SURE IT'S CENTERED
IN THE ROOM
SO HE CAN GET
BOOKCASES IN.
THE MAIN CONCERN
IN TERMS OF DESIGN
IS TO DESIGN
FROM THE INSIDE OUT,
SO THAT IT REALLY
WORKS AS A ROOM.
I WANT TO DO
THIS WITH AS EASY AN
INSTALLATION AS WE CAN.
I DON'T WANT TO
HAVE TO RIP THE WALL
JUST TO GET
IT CENTERED.
IS THIS READY
TO COME OUT?
IT'S READY.
I'VE GOT ONE MORE
NAIL UP HERE.
THERE YOU GO.
OK?
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK
AT THE FRAME FROM
THE INSIDE.
MOVE THAT
OUT OF THE WAY.
I SEE THE OTHER
WINDOW'S ALREADY
BEEN REMOVED
FROM ANOTHER SIDE
OF THE HOUSE.
YEAH.
WHAT'S THIS
FRAME LOOK LIKE?
THIS FRAME IS
NOT GOING TO SUPPORT
WHAT WE'RE PUTTING ON.
IT'S UNUSUAL TO FIND
A HEADER SPACE OVER
A WINDOW
THAT'S FRAMED
WITH 2 BY 4s
ON THE SIDES.
THAT'S NOT
THE WAY YOU DO IT.
YOU WANT
AT LEAST 2 BY 6s
IN THERE.
YOU'LL REMOVE THAT
AND HOW MUCH MORE?
WE WANT TO TAKE
AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE.
WE'VE DETERMINED THAT
FROM THIS STUD HERE
TO THIS STUD WILL
GIVE US THE ROOM
TO FIT TWO WINDOWS.
IT GIVES US ABOUT
1 1/2 INCHES TO SPARE.
AN OPENING 1 1/2 INCHES
BIGGER THAN THE SIDES?
WHEN WE PUT
THESE TOGETHER,
IT'S CALLED
A MULLION WINDOW.
WHAT'S THE FIRST
STEP HERE?
BEFORE WE DO
ANYTHING OVER HERE,
WE WANT TO SUPPORT
WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY.
IF WE LOOK UP THERE,
WE NOW HAVE
A SECOND FLOOR.
WE CAN SEE THAT
THE LOAD OF THAT
FLOOR
IS CARRIED BY
THIS OUTSIDE WALL.
HOW WILL
YOU SUPPORT IT?
WE'RE GOING TO
TRANSFER IT ON
THIS A-FRAME HERE.
TEMPORARILY,
WITH 2 BY 4s
UP THERE
AND ONE ON THE FLOOR
AND THEN
YOUR A-FRAME
THAT YOU JUST
TIGHTEN UP.
WHAT WILL
WE TAKE DOWN FIRST?
WE'LL START WITH
THE JACK STUDS, BOB.
LET'S TAKE
THE PERSUADER
AND TRY TO...
THE NEW HEADER IS
TWO 2 BY 6s
THAT HAVE HAD
A HALF-INCH PIECE
OF PLYWOOD PUT IN BETWEEN
WHICH STRENGTHENS
AND GIVES THE RIGHT
THICKNESS.
OK, I'LL THROW
THE JACK STUDS
UNDERNEATH IT.
ALL RIGHT,
SO WE'VE GOT
NEW CRIPPLES.
THESE SHORT STUDS
ARE CALLED CRIPPLES.
AND THIS IS
A STOOL.
AND NOW WE'RE READY
FOR THE MULLION,
WHICH IS A COUPLE
OF STUDS THAT ARE
NAILED TOGETHER,
AND WE'VE ADDED
3/4 STOCK
TO FERRET OUT.
I'LL GET
THE RECIPROCATING SAW,
PUT MY GOGGLES ON,
AND START CUTTING OFF
THE EXCESS SHEATHING.
ALL RIGHT.
CAN I GIVE
YOU A HAND
WITH THIS ONE?
YES.
ALL TACKED IN PLACE?
I'LL JUST TACK
THE CORNERS.
OK. LET'S GET THIS
OTHER ONE UP THERE.
OH, BOY.
GOOD.
I'LL STAND BACK
AND LOOK AT THAT EFFECT.
YOU GOT THE WINDOW,
RYLEY?
I GOT IT.
LET'S SEE WHAT
THAT LOOKS LIKE.
NOT BAD. PRETTY GOOD.
JUST NAIL THE HELL
OUT OF IT, OK?
WE'VE GOT TO BREAK
FOR SOME MESSAGES.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

??yv
+F2HI, I'M BOB VILA.
NEXT TIME ON HOME AGAIN,
CARPENTRY CONTINUES.
RYLEY WILL BE SHOWING US HOW
YOU CAN TAKE OUT A SINGLE WINDOW
AND REPLACE IT WITH
A DOUBLE WINDOW.
THAT, OF COURSE, INVOLVES
REFRAMING THE WALL
AND PUTTING IN A NEW HEADER.
AND WE'RE TRAVELING
DOWN TO MIAMI BEACH
TO VISIT SOME OF
THE OLD ART DECO HOTELS
THAT HAVE JUST RECENTLY
BEEN RESTORED.
AND THE PLUMBER
PROMISES TO SHOW UP
TO TEACH US HOW TO SWEAT
A JOINT END COPPER PIPE.
DON'T MISS IT.
THAT'S NEXT TIME ON HOME AGAIN.
m2
&Jü2HI, I'M BOB VILA.
NEXT TIME ON HOME AGAIN,
WE'RE REPLACING A WINDOW
AND TAKING YOU TO MIAMI BEACH
TO CHECK OUT
THE ART DECO HOTELS.
DON'T MISS IT.
m2
WE'RE AT THE SOUTHERN
TIP OF MIAMI BEACH.
IF YOU THINK MIAMI BEACH
IS ALL HIGH-RISES
PAINTED PINK ON
THE EDGE OF THE BEACH,
YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER
THING COMING.
WE'VE GOT ONE OF
THE FINEST COLLECTIONS
OF ART DECO BUILDING FROM
THE THIRTIES AND FORTIES
RIGHT HERE IN SOUTH BEACH.
WE'LL BE WITH RANDALL ROBINSON,
AN URBAN PLANNER
AND MEMBER OF THE MIAMI
DESIGN PRESERVATION LEAGUE,
WHO WILL HELP US
TAKE A CLOSER LOOK.
HI, RANDALL.
HI, BOB.
FIRST,
WHAT IS ART DECO?
IT GOES BACK TO
THE PARIS EXPOSITION
OF 1925.
BUT HERE IN
SOUTH MIAMI BEACH,
WE HAVE A GREAT
VARIETY OF ARCHITECTURE.
WHERE IT SAYS
BOW HOTEL OVER THERE,
THAT SHOWS WHERE
HURRICANE ANDREW
EXPOSED
MORE OF WHAT MOST
PEOPLE BELIEVE IS
THE OLDEST BUILDING HERE.
COMING CLOSER,
YOU HAVE AN EXAMPLE
OF WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW.
THAT'S A FAKE FRONT
FOR A TELEVISION SERIES.
OVER HERE,
THE CENTURY HOTEL,
SHOWS WHAT'S SPECIAL
ABOUT THIS AREA.
REALLY THE FINE
ART DECO ARCHITECTURE
AND THE WONDERFUL
INTIMATE SCALE WE HAVE
IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
I THOUGHT
ART DECO MEANT MORE
DECORATION AND COLOR.
THERE IS A LOT MORE.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
THE LORD BALFOUR'S
A GREAT RESTORATION
BECAUSE IT BALANCES
THE HISTORIC LOOK
OF THE BUILDINGS,
WHICH WERE WHITE
WITH BRIGHT COLORED
TRIM,
BUT IT HAS COLORS
POPULAR TODAY.
IT'S NOT AS VIBRANT
A COLOR SCHEME
AS I EXPECTED.
THE STRONG HORIZONTAL
LINES ARE REALLY NEAT.
YEAH, A PART OF THAT
STREAMLINE MODERNE.
RANDALL, WHAT
WOULD YOU SAY ABOUT
THIS BUILDING HERE?
THIS IS CLEARLY
INFLUENCED BY
THE CLASSIC FRENCH
ART DECO OF THE 192Os
WHICH HAD A LOT
OF DECORATIVE FLOURISH,
DEPICTED IN ALL
THOSE NATURAL FORMS,
BUT IN A VERY
FORMALIZED WAY.
I LOVE THOSE
FLAMINGO BIRDS
IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE FACADE
WITH THOSE GIRLS.
YEAH, IT'S BEAUTIFUL
RELIEF WORK
WITH A 198Os
COLOR SCHEME.
A HANDFUL OF
ARCHITECTS DID MOST
OF THE BUILDINGS HERE
BETWEEN 1935
AND 194O,
WHICH WAS OUR
PERIOD OF GREATEST
CONSTRUCTION.
OK, BUT WOULD YOU SAY
IT'S MORE TYPICAL OF
AN ART DECO BUILDING
TO HAVE
THE RECTILINEAR DESIGN,
STRAIGHT LINES,
HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL?
THAT'S MORE TYPICAL
OF OUR MIAMI BEACH
ART DECO.
AND THESE COLOR
SCHEMES, THESE
VIBRANT PASTELS,
WERE DESIGNED BY
THE MAN WHO STARTED
THE PASTELS
BACK IN '79,
LEONARD HOROWITZ.
HE STARTED
THE RESTORATION
MOVEMENT DOWN HERE?
ALONG WITH
BARBARA CAPITMAN.
THE PASTELS
WERE HIS IDEA.
WELL,
THEY'RE VERY SUCCESSFUL
ALONG THE BEACH
FRONT HERE.
LOOK AT THIS GREAT
'55 OLDS CONVERTIBLE.
YEAH, THE LINES GO
WITH THE LINES OF
THE BUILDINGS.
AND, OF COURSE,
YOU'VE GOT VINTAGE
AUTOMOBILES HERE
THAT MATCH
THE FRONT FACADES.
DO YOU SUPPOSE
THE HOTEL OWNERS
HAVE BOUGHT THEM
JUST TO PARK
THEM OUT FRONT?
IT'S ALWAYS
IN FRONT OF
THE COLONY.
NOT ONLY IS
THE ARCHITECTURE
REVIVED,
BUT THE WHOLE
NEIGHBORHOOD IS
FULL OF LIFE.
IT'S A WONDERFULLY
VIBRANT NEIGHBORHOOD
WITH YOUNG AND OLD,
RICH AND POOR,
BEAUTIFUL AND
NOT SO BEAUTIFUL.
PEOPLE FROM
ALL OVER THE WORLD.
HALF THE FUN
IS THE PEOPLE.
TELL ME ABOUT
THIS ONE ON THE CORNER.
THIS IS
THE WALDORF TOWERS
WITH A LIGHTHOUSE
WITH A NEON SCULPTURE
INSIDE.
FOR YEARS,
THAT LIGHTHOUSE
WAS MISSING,
BUT ONE
OF THE FIRST
REFURBISHMENT MOVES
WAS PLACING
THAT LIGHTHOUSE
ON THE TOP OF
THE WALDORF.
THE PASTELS WERE
A GREAT IDEA
BUT IN LESS
THAN SKILLFUL HANDS,
THEY TEND TO
BECOME GARISH
AND THEY DON'T
DISPLAY THE SAME
RESTRAINT
AND FORMALITY
OF THE ART DECO
ARCHITECTURE ITSELF.
YOU CAN SEE THAT
IN A LOT OF THESE
REALLY LOUD COLORS
THAT DON'T
AGREE OR COMPLIMENT
THE ORIGINAL MATERIALS.
COMING UP HERE
AT THE CARDOZA,
THE BEAUTIFUL
BURGUNDY STONE
IS TOTALLY
OUTFLASHED BY
THAT PURPLE AWNING,
WHICH IS A SHAME.
THE BURGUNDY STONE
OF THE COLUMNS?
YEAH.
IS IT KEYSTONE?
YEAH, DYED KEYSTONE.
AND THE DEPARTMENT
OF INTERIOR GUIDELINES
SAY THAT THE COLORS
SHOULD COMPLIMENT
ORIGINAL MATERIALS.
AND HERE
THEY COMPETE
AND OVERWHELM.
A LITTLE BIT
TOO STRONG, YES.
BUT AT LEAST
IT'S ALL BEING
PRESERVED
AND RESTORED
AND CLEANED UP
AND BROUGHT
BACK TO LIFE.
THAT'S FOR SURE.
RANDALL, I'D LOVE
TO SEE A LOBBY.
LET'S GO UP
COLLINS AVENUE TO
THE RITZ PLAZA.
IT'S ONE OF OUR
BEST INTERIOR RENOVATIONS.
OH, THIS IS GREAT.
IT'S NOT WHAT
I EXPECTED, THOUGH.
THIS IS KIND OF
COOL AND SERENE.
HERE WE GET INTO
THE CLEAN SIMPLE LINES
STREAMLINED,
WHICH CAME AFTER
ART DECO.
YEAH, I WAS EXPECTING
THE HOTTER COLORS
AND THE JAGGED LINES.
BUT THIS IS
VERY CURVACEOUS.
AND YET,
WHEN YOU SAY STREAMLINED,
IT MAKES ME THINK
OF THOSE LOCOMOTIVES
FROM THE FORTIES.
THE EMPHASIS WAS
DEFINITELY ON SPEED
AND TECHNOLOGY.
I LOVE THE PATTERNS
IN THE FLOOR DOWN HERE.
THE ARCHITECTS LOVE
TO USE TERRAZZO IN
THESE BUILDINGS
BECAUSE THEY COULD
CREATE BEAUTIFUL
ELEGANT DESIGNS
IN DIFFERENT COLORS.
TERRAZZO IS SIMPLY
A MIXTURE OF CEMENT
IN AGGREGATE
THAT GETS LAID IN
PATTERNS THAT YOU CREATE
WITH THESE BRASS LINES.
THEN YOU POLISH
TO HIGH GLOSS.
IT STAYS COOL
IN OUR CLIMATE
WHEN IT'S HOT.
NO, IT'S A VERY
COOL LOBBY,
AND FURNITURE LIKE THIS
IS PRETTY MUCH
IN KEEPING WITH
THE STYLE, TOO,
ISN'T IT?
THE LINES ARE
THE SAME SPIRIT
OF THE LINES
OF THE BUILDING.
IT WORKS.
I LOVE THESE GRAYS
AND YELLOWS AND TANS
AND OVER THERE
THAT VERY CREAMY COLOR.
WHAT MATERIAL IS
AT THE REGISTRATION
DESK?
THAT'S KEYSTONE
FROM THE MIDDLE KEYS.
IT WAS ONCE
COVERED IN PLYWOOD,
BUT THEY RESTORED
IT BEAUTIFULLY.
THE LINES OF
THE CHECK-OUT
DESK ARE
FANTASTIC, SIMPLE
STREAMLINED...
YEAH, IT'S
A BEAUTIFUL SPACE.
HOW ABOUT LOOKING AT
AN ART DECO SWIMMING POOL?
WELL, THERE'S ONE
AT THE RALEIGH.
LET'S GO TAKE A LOOK.
RANDALL,
IT'S AN INCREDIBLE
SWIMMING POOL.
WHEN WAS IT BUILT?
LATE THIRTIES.
THESE BIG HOTELS HERE
ON COLLINS AVENUE
WERE THE LAST BIG
HURRAH OF ART DECO
ON MIAMI BEACH.
THE INCREDIBLE
SWIMMING POOLS
LIKE THIS,
ONCE BILLED AS
THE WORLD'S MOST
BEAUTIFUL SWIMMING POOL.
IT'S REALLY
A SPECTACULAR PIECE.
IT IS. IT HAS
GORGEOUS BAROQUE
CURVES TO IT.
IT GOES WITH
THE WHOLE THEME
OF THE HOTEL.
AFTER THE WORLD WAR,
WE GOT THE BIGGER
HOTELS
THAT ARE MORE
STREAMLINED.
YEAH, BIG, BOXY,
NOT AS DECORATIVE,
LIKE THE FOUNTAINEBLEAU.
MARVELOUS.
IT'S BEEN
VERY EDUCATIONAL.
THANK YOU.
GREAT TO HAVE YOU.
WE'LL BE BACK
AFTER THESE MESSAGES.
?l2
NOW LET'S VISIT
WITH STEVE BOTTAZZI,
OUR PLUMBING CONTRACTOR.
HI, STEVE.
TIGHT QUARTERS
IN HERE.
YOU'VE JUST FINISHED
DRILLING THE HOLE
IN THE ACRYLIC
BACK PART OF
THE SHOWER.
AND THAT'S FOR WHAT,
THE MIXER?
THAT'S FOR
OUR SHOWER VALVE.
SO THIS IS WHERE
ALL THE GOOD STUFF
HAPPENS.
YOU'VE GOT A HOT
LINE ON THIS SIDE
AND A COLD ONE
OVER HERE.
THE TWO COME INTO
THIS MIXING VALVE
AND MAKE THAT
WATER TEMPERATURE
PERFECT.
WHAT'S NEXT?
NEXT WE'LL CLEAN
ALL THESE FITTINGS.
NOW YOU HAVE
TO CLEAN
ALL THE DIFFERENT
PIECES OF COPPER
BEFORE YOU CAN
SWEAT THE JOINTS.
RIGHT.
THAT IS BASICALLY
SO THAT THE WELDING
OR SOLDERING
PROCESS, RATHER,
WORKS APPROPRIATELY.
LET ME SEE THAT.
IS IT LIKE
A COPPER SCREEN?
YES, IT'S
AN EMERY CLOTH.
IT IS A FINE
EMERY CLOTH.
I THOUGHT IT
WAS SANDPAPER.
ALL THE VALVES
ARE A...
TEMPERATURE
BALANCE VALVE.
YOU KNOW,
THE USE OF
COPPER PIPING,
IS A LITTLE
CONTROVERSIAL
IN SOME PARTS
OF THE COUNTRY.
WHY DO WE STILL
USE IT?
WE USE COPPER HERE
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
9O% OF
YOUR PLUMBERS USE.
HABITS IN
NEW ENGLAND, RIGHT?
IN MANY PARTS
OF THE COUNTRY,
PVC HAS TAKEN OVER.
IT'S LESS EXPENSIVE,
EASIER TO WORK WITH.
BUT CONCERNS HAVE
TO DO WITH LEAD
CONTAMINATION.
THERE IS LEAD
IN THE PROCESS OF
SOLDERING THE JOINTS
OF THE DIFFERENT
PIECES OF COPPER.
THAT LEAD CAN LEECH
INTO THE WATER SUPPLY.
HOW ARE WE ADDRESSING
THIS CONCERN NOWADAYS?
THE CODE FOR
THE LAST COUPLE
OF YEARS HAS CHANGED.
YOU CANNOT USE
LEAD IN THE SOLDER.
IT'S CALLED 95.5.
IT'S 95% TIN
AND 5% ANTIMONY.
SO, IN NEW WORK,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT THERE
BEING ANY KIND OF
LEAD CONTAMINATION?
EXACTLY.
NOW, WHAT'S
THE NEXT STEP?
WE'LL FLUX
EVERYTHING UP.
YOU CAN THINK OF
THE FLUX AS A CATALYST.
IT REALLY IS
THE NECESSARY STEP
FOR THE COPPER
MOLECULES TO KIND OF
FUSE TOGETHER.
RIGHT. IT WILL NOT
SOLDER WITHOUT FLUX.
COULD YOU HOLD
THAT, BOB?
SURE, I'D BE
GLAD TO.
SO YOU HAVE
TO PUT IT ON
THE FITTING INSIDES
AND ON THE OUTSIDES
OF THE PIPE?
RIGHT.
IS THERE
A DRYING TIME
WITH THE FLUX?
NO, NOT AT ALL.
NO, IT JUST
STAYS ON THERE,
RIGHT?
YEP.
NOW WE'LL
SET THIS IN PLACE.
DOES IT HAVE
TO BE LEVEL?
YES, WE'LL CENTER IT
RIGHT ON THE WHOLE
EXISTING HOLE.
SNUG THESE UP
A LITTLE BIT.
YOU'RE JUST
CRIMPING IT
A LITTLE BIT
SO THAT IT DOESN'T
SLIDE AND MOVE
ON YOU.
IF YOU OVERDO IT,
YOU COULD BE CREATING
A LEAK
FOR YOURSELF,
COULDN'T YOU?
NOT REALLY, BUT...
TO A MINIMAL
AMOUNT.
READY FOR THE FIRE.
ALL READY.
NOW WE'RE HEATING
THE FITTING.
WHAT CAUSES THE SOLDER
TO TRAVEL VERTICALLY
LIKE THAT?
THE FLUX HELPS
THE SOLDER TO DRAW
UP INTO THE FITTING
AND REDUCE THE FITTING.
ALL RIGHT. SO THE NEXT
STEP IS THE SHOWER HEAD,
STEVE?
NO, THIS INSTALLATION
IS A LITTLE BIT MORE
COMPLICATED.
NORMALLY, WE'D JUST
RUN UP AND PUT
A SHOWER HEAD.
IN THIS, WE HAVE
TO PUT IN A DIVERTER
WHICH WILL DIVERT.
THIS THING IS
A FLOW DIVERTER?
YES, IT
DIVERTS THE WATER
TO THE SHOWER HEAD
AND TO A HAND SHOWER.
YOU'LL HAVE A CHOICE
OF THE REGULAR SHOWER HEAD
OR THIS PERSONAL SHOWER
THAT GOES MOUNTED ON THIS
BRACKET ON THE WALL.
AND THAT LITTLE
AFFAIR OVER THERE
WILL CONTROL WHETHER
THE WATER'S COMING
OUT HERE
OR OUT A REGULAR
SHOWER HEAD.
VERY COMPLICATED,
VERY COMFORTABLE.
A LITTLE BIT EXPENSIVE.
NICE FEATURE.
WE'LL BREAK FOR
SOME MESSAGES.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
?l2
WELL, I'M REALLY
GLAD THAT RYLEY
GOT THESE DOUBLE
WINDOWS IN PLACE
BECAUSE THAT'S JUST
ONE MORE STEP TOWARD
COMPLETING ALL THE WORK
ON THIS FARMER'S PORCH.
WE'VE GOT
A ROOF OVER IT.
WE'LL WAIT ON
THE FLOORING,
FIR DECKING,
A DELICATE WOOD
THAT WE DON'T WANT
TO DAMAGE.
THAT'LL TAKE
A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
THAT'S A WRAP FOR THIS TIME.
COME HOME AGAIN NEXT WEEK.
WE'LL BE PUTTING
THE FINAL TOUCHES
ON MUCH OF THE FRAMING
BEFORE INSPECTIONS.
WE'LL GO TO
THE BOSTON DESIGN CENTER
VISITING WITH
DALIA AND GOTTI TOMARI,
WHO HAVE THE MOST INCREDIBLE
KITCHEN CABINET SHOWROOM.
WE'LL LOOK AT THE CABINETS
GOING IN THIS HOUSE.
MORE BUILDING TAKES PLACE
IN THE DEN.
A WET WALL IS BEING PUT
TOGETHER FOR PLUMBING PIPES,
AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT
A SECURITY SYSTEM.
UNTIL NEXT TIME,
I'M BOB VILA.
IT'S GOOD TO HAVE
YOU HOME AGAIN.
