Plaster Repair Over Drywall
The electricians are snaking new wiring into the kitchen, and the plumber is roughing in for the addition of a real 'water closet'.
Mike Casas is making quick work of the plaster on the new cathedral ceiling, where new drywall must be married to the old lath and plaster.
Out on the front porch, the contractor removes an existing column without damaging it, or the overhang it supports.

Description:
Bob meets Gavin and Michelle Langley, the happy new homeowners of a vintage Sears kit house. They have lots of plans for preserving both the historic and sentimental values of the house.

Description:
Bob observes the reconditioning of the original Sears kit house windows. Then, he takes a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House, which is just over the hill in Hollywood. On the back porch, the contractors are disguising the steel supports for the roof by sleeving them into wooden columns. -

Description:
Carpenter Brian Comeaux custom-mills some interior trim details specified by the architect.
