0417 - Installing a Vanity December 27-January 2, 1994 | June 27-July 3, 1994 HI, I'M BOB VILA.
WELCOME HOME AGAIN.
WE HAVE LOTS OF
FINISH WORK TO TALK ABOUT.
TODAY THE PLUMBERS
WILL SHOW US
HOW TO INSTALL A LAVATORY
IN A VANITY.
WE'RE WORKING ON
THE FARMER'S PORCH DECKING
BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T
COMPLETED THE PART
THAT SURROUNDS
THE BULKHEAD ENTRY.
WE'RE TAKING YOU TO MIAMI
TO VISIT VIZCAYA,
AN EXTRAORDINARY
ITALIAN PALAZZO ON THE SHORES
OF BISCAYNE BAY.
IT'S GOOD TO HAVE
YOU HOME AGAIN.
CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY
B.V.T.V.
LET'S MEET
STEVE BOTTAZZI,
OUR PLUMBING
CONTRACTOR.
YOU'VE ALREADY GOT
ONE OF THE LAVATORIES
DONE IN THERE.
IT LOOKS PRETTY NEAT.
COPPER AND P.V.C.
CONNECTED TO THE DRAIN
OF THE NEW SINK.
YOU'RE GOING TO
SHOW US ON THIS
SECOND SINK
HOW YOU DO THAT,
RIGHT?
RIGHT. WE'LL PUT
THE FAUCET IN FIRST.
WE'LL GET YOU TO
HOLD THAT FOR ME.
SLIDE THAT IN.
THAT HAS TO BE
HELD UP IN PLACE.
KEEP IN CENTERED.
THAT'S THE FIRST
THING YOU DO,
IS GET THIS FITTING
TIGHTENED UP.
AND THIS TIGHTENS
THE FAUCET DOWN,
HOLDS IT IN PLACE.
IS THAT NICE
AND STRAIGHT, BOB?
YEP, IT'S NICE
AND STRAIGHT.
WHAT'S THE NEXT
STEP, STEVE?
THE NEXT STEP IS
TO PUT THE SHUT-OFF
VALVE IN, BOB.
THIS LITTLE BRONZE
NUMBER, WHICH WOULD
SHUT OFF THE WATER
TO THE FAUCET
SHOULD YOU HAVE
TO REPAIR IT.
WHAT IS
THIS WHITE STUFF?
THIS STUFF
IS PIPE DOPE.
WHAT IS THAT FOR?
THIS LUBRICATES IT
AND MAKES IT EASIER
FOR IT TO GO ON.
IT MAKES FOR
A BETTER SEAL.
EVERY FIXTURE HAS
TO HAVE SHUT-OFFS
ON IT.
OTHERWISE, YOU'D
HAVE TO SHUT THE WATER
OFF IN THE BASEMENT.
RIGHT. AND NOW WE'RE
GOING TO MEASURE
FROM THE VALVE
DOWN TO THE
COUPLING.
SO, I NOTICED
YOU'RE GOING UP
ABOVE THE END.
YOU'RE MEASURING
FROM INSIDE?
RIGHT. THE MAKEUP,
INSIDE THE VALVE
AND INSIDE THE COUPLING.
SO, YOU ADD A HALF INCH
AT BOTH ENDS?
RIGHT, IT'S
12 AND 5/8ths.
NOW WE'LL MEASURE THIS.
YOU PUT A MARK ON IT.
WHAT WAS IT?
12 AND 5/8ths.
OK.
AND THEN
THE FUN PART.
SO NOW DO WE GET
TO SOLDER?
VERY NICE.
NOW WE'RE DONE WITH
THE METAL PART OF
THE JOB.
THE NEXT PART
INVOLVES THE P.V.C.
WE'VE ALREADY GOT
THE TRIM FOR THE DRAIN
IN PLACE DOWN THERE.
ALL WE HAVE LEFT
IS TO PUT ON THE TRAP.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE
OF THE TRAP?
THE TRAP PREVENTS
SEWER GASES
FROM COMING BACK
INTO THE AIR IN THE ROOM.
YES, BECAUSE
ESSENTIALLY
AT THAT CURVE
AT THE BOTTOM OF IT,
YOU ALWAYS
HAVE WATER THERE
WHICH KEEPS GASES
FROM THE PLUMBING SYSTEM
FROM BEING ABLE
TO ENTER THE ROOM.
AND THIS IS THIS
VERY SMELLY STUFF
THAT CAN MAKE
YOU DIZZY,
SO YOU WANT TO CLOSE
THE CAN UP
WHENEVER YOU'RE
THROUGH WITH IT.
NOW, YOU JUST TIGHTEN
THAT TOP JUNCTION
WITHOUT HAVING TO PUT
ANY PIPE DOPE
OR ANYTHING ELSE
ON IT, RIGHT?
NO, IT HAS A PLASTIC
WASHER IN IT.
JUST WIPE OFF
THE EXCESS GLUE...
AND YOU'VE DONE IT.
CONGRATULATIONS.
WE'RE GOING TO BREAK
FOR SOME MESSAGES.
WHEN WE COME BACK,
WE'LL BE IN MIAMI
VISITING VIZCAYA,
A REMARKABLE ITALIAN PALACE.
STICK AROUND.
I'M BOB VILA.
NEXT HOME AGAIN
WE'LL BUILD A TRAP DOOR
IN THE DECKING
OF THE FARMER'S PORCH
WHICH CONCEALS THE BULKHEAD
ENTRANCE TO THE BASEMENT.
WE'RE INSTALLING
A DOUBLE-SINKED VANITY TOP
AND WE'RE TRAVELING
TO MIAMI
TO VISIT VIZCAYA,
AN ITALIAN-STYLED PALAZZO
BUILT IN THE EARLY PART
OF THIS CENTURY.
THAT'S NEXT TIME
ON HOME AGAIN.
I'M BOB VILA.
NEXT TIME ON HOME AGAIN
A TRAP DOOR
AND A VISIT TO VIZCAYA
IN MIAMI.
DON'T MISS IT.
JAMES DEERING WAS
THE FIRST AMERICAN MILLIONAIRE
TO BUILD HIS DREAM WINTER HOME
IN MIAMI
ON BISCAYNE BAY.
HE CALLED IT "VIZCAYA,"
AFTER THE BAY OFF SPAIN'S COAST.
BETWEEN 1914 AND 1916
HE SPENT $2O MILLION
BUILDING AND FURNISHING
THIS FABULOUS ITALIAN VILLA
THAT'S BEHIND ME.
WE'RE PASSING
THE STONE BARGE
WHICH WAS BUILT
AS A BREAKWATER
AND, DURING
THE HURRICANE ANDREW,
PROBABLY SAVED THE HOUSE
FROM FURTHER DAMAGE,
BUT YOU COULD SEE
IT'S IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE.
IN A MINUTE WE'LL MEET
DORIS LITTLEFIELD,
THE HEAD CURATOR
WHO'LL GIVE US A TOUR.
HELLO, DORIS.
GOOD MORNING, BOB.
HOW ARE YOU?
FINE, THANK YOU.
SO PLEASED TO BE HERE
AT VIZCAYA.
I USED TO VISIT
WHEN I WAS GROWING
UP IN MIAMI.
THIS IS A VERY
SPECIAL PLACE,
AND WE'VE ARRIVED
BY WATER.
I GUESS THE ORIGINAL
OWNERS MIGHT HAVE
ARRIVED THAT WAY.
WHAT ROOM IS THIS?
WE'RE IN
THE EAST LOGGIA,
OVERLOOKING
BISCAYNE BAY.
IS THERE ANYTHING
SYMBOLIC
ABOUT THIS ROOM?
ONE VERY IMPORTANT
FEATURE
IS THE CARAVEL
HANGING FROM
THE CEILING.
CARAVELS ARE ONE
OF THE SYMBOLS
OF JAMES DEERING'S
HOUSE.
WHO WAS
JAMES DEERING?
HE WAS THE SON
OF THE FOUNDER
OF INTERNATIONAL
HARVESTER,
THE FARM MACHINERY
COMPANY.
SO HE WAS
A WEALTHY MAN.
WELL-TO-DO.
WHAT POSSESSED HIM
TO BUILD VIZCAYA?
MANY AMERICAN
INDUSTRIALISTS
WERE BUILDING GREAT
HOMES IN THE COUNTRY.
JAMES DEERING CHOSE
TO BUILD A WINTER HOME
HERE IN MIAMI.
HE BOUGHT THE LAND IN 1912,
STARTED CONSTRUCTION
IN 1914,
MOVED IN
ON CHRISTMAS DAY, 1916.
WHAT A SPECTACULAR PLACE
TO MOVE INTO.
TELL ME ABOUT
THIS FLOOR.
IT GIVES YOU
A THREE-DIMENSIONAL
FEELING.
IT'S PATTERNED
AFTER A 17th CENTURY
BAROQUE FLOOR.
EXQUISITE.
BUT IT'S A MODERN
FLOOR.
A MODERN, TO 1916.
THAT'S RIGHT.
LET'S TALK ABOUT
THE ARCHITECTURAL PLAN
OF THE HOUSE.
THE HOUSE IS PATTERNED
AFTER A LATE RENAISSANCE
ITALIAN VILLA.
A COUNTRY HOUSE.
A COUNTRY HOUSE,
BUILT AROUND
A GREAT CENTRAL
COURTYARD
WITH THE ROOMS OPENING
TO THE COURTYARD.
HOW MANY ROOMS
ARE THERE?
WELL, WE SAY 7O ROOMS,
BUT THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE
THE SERVICE ROOMS.
SO THE COURTYARD
WOULD HAVE BEEN
A RECEPTION AREA.
IF YOU WERE COMING
BY LAND,
WHERE WOULD YOU
HAVE ENTERED?
YOU WOULD HAVE ENTERED
FROM THE MAIN DOOR
BEHIND THIS SCREEN WALL,
BEHIND THE FOUNTAIN.
SO THIS FOUNTAIN
IS JUST A SCREEN.
IS THIS ALSO 1916,
OR IS IT OLDER?
THE FOUNTAIN ITSELF
IS VERY EARLY
17th CENTURY.
ITALIAN.
ITALIAN.
NOTICE THE DOLPHINS?
PERFECT FOR A HOUSE
BY THE BAY.
RIGHT.
AND THE WEAR ON THE EDGE
OF THE FOUNTAIN LEDGE
IS UNBELIEVABLE.
YEARS AND YEARS OF...
YEARS OF PEOPLE'S ARMS
COMING UP THERE.
THE HOUSE IS A MIXTURE
OF ANCIENT
AND ANTIQUE BUILDING
ELEMENTS
WITH NEWER ELEMENTS.
I KNOW THAT MOST
OF THE ROOMS AT VIZCAYA
ARE NOT AVAILABLE
TO OUR CAMERA
AND TO THE LIGHTING
REQUIRED,
BUT OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
FOR ANYONE WHO VISITS
IN MIAMI.
WE'RE OPEN EVERY DAY
EXCEPT CHRISTMAS.
CAN WE PEEK
AT ONE LITTLE AREA?
YES! LET'S GO TO
THE TEA ROOM.
VERY GOOD.
[LITTLEFIELD]
THE CEILING
OF THE TEA ROOM
IS NEO-CLASSICAL
IN STYLE.
THESE GATES ARE
UNBELIEVABLE.
AREN'T THEY HANDSOME?
THEY CAME FROM
THE PISANI FAMILY PALACE
IN VENICE.
THEY'RE VERY LATE
17th CENTURY.
LATE 17th CENTURY.
SO THE FEELING IS OF
A NEO-CLASSICAL ROOM.
THAT'S RIGHT.
THE PAINTED CANVAS
WALL PANELS
REFLECT THAT
DESIGN, TOO.
THESE ARE SCENES
OF VENICE,
OR ARE
THEY WHIMSICAL?
THEY'RE IMAGINARY
LANDSCAPES.
UNBELIEVABLE.
SO THIS IS A ROOM
THAT JUST WOULD HAVE
BEEN SET
UP FOR TEA IN
THE AFTERNOON?
THAT'S RIGHT.
FLANKING IT IS
THE BUTLER'S PANTRY.
UH-HUH.
SO THEY MUST
HAVE DONE A LOT OF
ENTERTAINING HERE.
YES INDEED.
IN FACT, MR. DEERING
HAD ALMOST 24 SETS
OF CHINA.
JUST A FEW
ARE IN HERE.
IS THERE A KITCHEN
ON THE OTHER SIDE?
THE KITCHEN'S ON
THE SECOND FLOOR.
SO THERE
WAS A DUMBWAITER.
YOU COULD HAVE
DINED UPSTAIRS
OR DOWN HERE,
OR ON ONE OF
THE LOGES.
ONE OF THE THINGS
I REMEMBER
IS THIS CHINA
CUPBOARD WHICH HAS
ALL THE CHINA
FROM HIS YACHT.
YES, THE YACHT NEPENTHE.
YOU CAN SEE THE NAME
RIGHT ON THE CHINA,
AND MR. DEERING'S YACHT
BURGEE AND THE NEW YORK
YACHT CLUB FLAG.
AND IT'S RIMMED
WITH SILVER
SO IT WON'T CHIP.
WHAT A LIFESTYLE,
HUH?
COULD WE TAKE
A QUICK LOOK AT
HIS GARDENS?
HOW MANY ACRES
OF GARDENS ARE
THERE AT VIZCAYA?
NOW WE HAVE ABOUT
TEN ACRES OF FORMAL
GARDENS.
BUT ORIGINALLY,
THE ESTATE COMPRISED
18O ACRES.
AMAZING.
THAT INCLUDED THE FARM.
WHAT'S THIS LITTLE
GARDEN CALLED?
THIS IS CALLED
THE SACRED GARDEN.
AND IT WAS A TYPICAL
IDEA OF A RENAISSANCE
GARDEN.
IT GAVE THE FAMILY
A PLACE TO COME
AND BE CASUAL,
AWAY FROM THE FORMALITY
OF THE MAIN GARDEN.
OH, HOW BEAUTIFUL.
IN THE AFTERMATH
OF HURRICANE ANDREW,
WE'RE STARTING TO
DO SOME REPLANTING.
BUT WE'RE FORTUNATE
THAT OUR 17th CENTURY
ITALIAN STATUARY
SURVIVED THE STORM.
IT'S GORGEOUS.
THAT'S ALL
LIMESTONE,
ISN'T IT?
YES, IT IS--
LIMESTONE, SANDSTONE.
YOU'RE REPLANTING
PARTERRES DOWN IN HERE
WHICH ARE FORMAL,
LOW-GROWING BEDS?
THAT'S RIGHT.
AND WE'RE USING
THE SAME
PLANT MATERIAL
THAT JAMES DEERING
DID, ORIGINALLY.
IT'S A NATIVE
JASMINE.
YOU COULDN'T USE
BOXWOOD AS THEY DO
IN EUROPE.
IT'S TOO HOT.
NO, IT WOULD
NOT SURVIVE.
[VILA]
WHAT'S THE NATURE
OF AN ITALIAN GARDEN?
IT'S ALL STONE,
GREENERY AND WATER.
THEY REALLY DON'T
FEATURE FLOWERS.
AND THE STONE
THAT'S USED HERE
AT VIZCAYA
IS NATIVE
CORAL ROCK?
THAT'S RIGHT.
MOST OF IT WAS
CARVED RIGHT HERE
ON THE SITE.
EXCELLENT.
WHERE TO NEXT?
LET'S GO UP
THE WATER STAIRWAY
AND SEE THE CASINO.
I CAN SEE
WHY THEY CALL IT
A WATER STAIRCASE.
IT'S PATTERNED
AFTER THE ONE
AT VILLA CORSINI
IN ROME.
WHAT DO WE CALL
THIS STRUCTURE?
THIS IS THE CASINO,
OR LITTLE GARDEN HOUSE.
IT PROVIDED
A DESTINATION
FOR A WALK
IN THE GARDENS,
OR PERHAPS
AFTERNOON TEA.
THANK YOU FOR THE TOUR.
VIZCAYA HAS GOT TO BE
ONE OF MY FAVORITE
HOUSES IN AMERICA.
THANK YOU, BOB.
WE'LL BE BACK
AFTER THESE MESSAGES.
ONE OF THE MAIN
ARCHITECTURAL
FEATURES
OF THIS REMODELED HOUSE
IS THIS 34 FOOT
WIDE FARMER'S PORCH
THAT WE KEEP
ADDING DETAILING TO.
HI, LARRY.
HOW ARE YOU, BOB?
YOU'RE WORKING
ON ONE OF THE FINAL
DETAILS
WHICH IS ACCESS
TO THE OLD BULKHEAD
THAT WAS HERE,
A TRAP DOOR,
ESSENTIALLY.
WHY KEEP THIS
IN PLACE?
IT'S SIMPLY FOR THAT
ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR
YOU MIGHT NEED TO GET
INTO THE BASEMENT IF
SOMETHING BREAKS DOWN
AND YOU MIGHT HAVE
TO REPLACE A WATER
HEATER OR SUCH.
YOU DON'T WANT
TO BE DRAGGING UP
THROUGH THE NEW HOUSE.
WE HAD A TRADITIONAL
SLANTED BULKHEAD DOOR
AND THE OLD
KITCHEN DOOR,
BUT THIS IS NOW
THE FRONT ENTRANCE.
WE WANT
TO HIDE THIS.
THE FOUNDATION'S
RIGHT BELOW THE NEW
PORCH WE BUILT.
WHAT WE'RE PLANNING
ON DOING IS
MAKING A CUSTOM DOOR
THAT'S GOING TO BE...
I'D SAY,
99% WATERPROOF, BOB.
SO IT'S GOING TO
BE A TRAP DOOR
AND YOU'LL HAVE
TO FLASH IT.
I SEE YOU'VE
GOT LEAD SET OUT.
WE'LL USE 12 INCH
SHEET LEAD
WHICH CAN BE EASILY
FORMED TO ANYTHING,
ANY SITUATION,
THIS ONE BEING
A TOUGH ONE.
GIVE ME A HAND
WITH THAT.
IT'S VERY MALLEABLE
SO THAT YOU CAN
SHAPE IT WITHOUT
USING TOOLS.
YOU'RE JUST
LAYING IT OVER
YOUR FRAME.
OVER THE FOUNDATION
FOR THE OLD BULKHEAD.
I'VE GOT TO GO
TO YOU A LITTLE
BIT MORE.
THE PURPOSE IS TO GET
IT TO SHED ANY WATER
THAT COULD BE
WIND-DRIVEN
OR A SNOWLOAD
THAT WILL MELT,
TO MAKE SURE
IT CAN'T MELT
AND PENETRATE
THE BULKHEAD
BUT RATHER GET SHED
RIGHT OFF THE LEAD
AND DOWN.
ON THE DOOR--
WE'LL SHOW YOU LATER--
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
ANOTHER LAYER OF
WATER AND ICE SHIELD.
HOW ARE YOU GOING
TO NAIL THIS DOWN?
I'LL USE ROOFING
NAILS, BOB.
WE'VE COMPLETED
THE FLASHING.
IT'S ALL NAILED DOWN.
LARRY HAS STARTED
WORK ON WHAT WILL
ESSENTIALLY BE
THE TRAP DOOR.
IT'S, UH,
WHAT KIND OF
PLYWOOD IS THIS?
THIS IS 3/4
TONGUE AND GROOVE
EXTERIOR PLYWOOD.
WE'VE GOT TO GET IT
UNDERNEATH THAT
FLOORBOARD, BOB.
HOW'S THAT?
THERE WE GO.
OK. AND YOU'VE...
ESSENTIALLY,
YOU'VE ATTACHED IT
TO TWO PIECES OF
PRESSURE-TREATED
STOCK,
AND THEN YOU'VE GOT...
TWO MORE THAT
WE'RE GOING TO ATTACH
TO THE DOOR BLANK
RIGHT NOW.
SO THESE FORM CLEATS
OR CLEATERS
THAT GIVE IT
THE STIFFNESS TO
HAVE PEOPLE
WALK ON IT.
WHY COULDN'T YOU DO
THIS WITH ONE SHEET
OF FOUR-BY PLYWOOD?
IT'S BIGGER THAN
FOUR FEET SQUARE,
SO I WOULD HAVE TO
HAVE TWO PIECES IN.
WE HAVE THAT PIECE,
AND YOU CAN HELP
PUT IT IN.
IT'S TONGUED
AND GROOVED PLYWOOD,
WHICH IS THE BEST
TO USE WHEN YOU DO
ANY KIND OF DECKING
OR SHEATHING LIKE THIS.
WE'LL JUST USE
THIS LITTLE BLOCK
AND DRIVE IT
RIGHT INTO PLACE.
LOOKS GOOD.
WE'VE ALREADY
MARKED IT SO
WE KNOW
WHERE THOSE
CLEATERS LIE.
HOW WILL YOU FASTEN
THE PLYWOOD TO
THE CLEATS?
I'LL USE THE TWO-INCH
"GALVY" SCREWS.
I HAVE SOME
STOP MARKS HERE,
SO I DON'T DRILL PAST
AND GO INTO OUR LEAD.
THE MOST IMPORTANT
ASPECT OF THIS JOB
IN KEEPING
THE DAMP OUT
IS THIS PRODUCT.
THAT'S RIGHT.
THIS IS WHAT
SEALS IT.
IT'S AN ICE
AND WATER SHIELD
WE USE ON ROOFS
AND LOW-SLOPED ROOFS.
WE FIGURED IT WOULD
BE IDEAL FOR THIS
SITUATION...
BECAUSE IF YOU HAPPEN
TO PUT A NAIL THROUGH
IT OR SOMETHING,
IT SORT OF SEALS
THE SHANK OF THE NAIL.
LIKE
A SELF-SEALING TIRE.
WE ARE GOING TO BE
NAILING OUR FIR
ONTO HERE.
KEEP PULLING. YOU CAN
WRAP UP A LITTLE
AND PULL IF
YOU NEED TO.
AND IT'S LIKE
WRAPPING PAPER.
YOU JUST LEAVE
THAT THERE.
I'M GOING TO
TRIM THAT EDGE.
I'M GOING TO
ROLL IT DOWN OVER
THE EDGE HERE.
WE'LL TRIM IT
AND PUT IT OVER
THE HOLE.
SO NOW, WITH
THE COVER OVER
THE HOLE...
WE'RE GOING TO
FIT THIS BORDER
PIECE...
WHICH IS REALLY
A PICTURE FRAME
BEFORE WE CAN PUT
OUR DECKING DOWN.
I'M GOING TO PULL
IT BACK A LITTLE.
LET'S GO DOWN HERE.
LET ME GET IN THERE.
MOVE THAT OUT
THERE A LITTLE.
THIS ONE IS GOING
TO COME UP LATER.
IT'S JUST
A SPACER BLOCK.
WE WANT TO NAIL
ON THE INSIDE
OF THIS FRAME
BECAUSE THE OUTSIDE
ACTUALLY LAPS OVER
ONTO THE FRAME.
YOU DON'T WANT
TO NAIL IT DOWN
PERMANENTLY.
THIS WILL
STILL LIFT UP.
HOW COME YOU'VE
RIPPED DOWN THIS
FIRST PIECE OF DECKING?
WE HAVE TO LINE UP
THE SPLICES BETWEEN
THE DECK BOARDS
AND DECK BOARDS
ON THE DOOR.
SO WE HAVE THIS
SPECIAL RIP PIECE
FIRST.
WE'LL START
NAILING THOSE ON.
WE'RE USING
STAINLESS STEEL NAILS.
YES, WE ARE.
WE'RE EYEBALLING,
MOSTLY.
WE'RE NOT USING
A NAIL AS A SPACER.
WE'RE REALLY
EYEBALLING IT.
NO, BECAUSE I DON'T
WANT TO POKE A HOLE
IN THE ICE AND WATER
SHIELD IF I CAN
AVOID IT.
WE'LL HAVE THESE
ALL LINED UP ALL
THE WAY DOWN.
OK. THE SECOND
TO LAST BOARD
HERE, BOB.
THAT'S LOOKING
REAL GOOD.
WE'LL BREAK FOR
SOME MESSAGES.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
WE'RE RUNNING SHORT
OF TIME FOR TODAY,
BUT I WANTED TO
ASK YOU ONE LAST
QUESTION.
WE'RE RUNNING MAYBE
TWO OR THREE WEEKS
BEHIND SCHEDULE.
A LOT OF FRIENDS
ASK ME
WHY DOES THAT
HAPPEN IN A JOB.
WHAT'S
THE REASON HERE?
THE WEATHER THREW
US OFF IN THE BEGINNING.
THROUGH THE COURSE
OF A LARGE PROJECT
LIKE THIS,
SOMETIMES MATERIALS
ARE LATE BEING DELIVERED
OR SUBCONTRACTORS ARE
TIED UP ON OTHER JOBS.
AND OF COURSE,
HAVING A TV CREW
AND YOURSELF
PUSHING ME AROUND
ALL DAY LONG DOESN'T
HELP, FOR 28 DAYS.
OK. COME HOME AGAIN
NEXT WEEK
WHEN WE'LL BE INSTALLING
A NATIVE WHITE PINE CEILING.
IT'S A TONGUE AND GROOVE
B-GROOVE CEILING
THAT GOES HERE
ON THE FARMER'S PORCH.
WE'LL ALSO TAKE OAK FLOORING
FROM INSIDE AND RECYCLING THAT.
WE'LL BE TRAVELING TO ROXBURY,
A SECTION OF BOSTON
WHERE A GRASS ROOTS COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION
IS RECYCLING AN OLD BUILDING
TO SOLVE SOME PROBLEMS
OF THE HOMELESS.
THAT'S IT. UNTIL THEN,
I'M BOB VILA.
GOOD TO HAVE
YOU HOME AGAIN.
