Project: Initial Tour

Bob meets structural engineer Steve Siegel on the attic floor of the Medford, MA home to discuss the owner’s desire for an office with cathedral ceilings.

Bob surveys the current layout of second floor, then meets with the general contractor, with whom Bob talks about the plans for the second floor and the master bedroom suite.

Bob walks with the owner and architect through different rooms on the first floor of the Victorian. Looking over the floor plans, they discuss the changes that will take place on all three floors of the house, plus in the dairy barn/carriage house.

Bob introduces Medford, MA, a city five miles north of Boston. Settled in 1630, Medford once flourished with industry, including the shipbuilding building. Today, it is a bedroom community.
