Building a Trellis
Project: Split-Level Ranch, Episode 11, Part 3
Bob wires a special light fixture for a special Colonial lantern in the front hall, and the plumber hooks up the refrigerator icemaker. To add to the ambiance of the property, a trellis is built in the front yard. First, the frame and lattice work are done in the shop, then it is installed with posts in the front yard.

Bob Vila is in Plymouth, MA, to oversee the remodel of a worn-out, 17-year-old raised ranch with problems familiar to many homeowners. The façade is re-sided and repainted, windows are replaced, and a new entry is built. Inside, the new bath and kitchen, which are added, provide the project highlights.
