Project: Kitchen Project Begins

Bob Riley and Howard Brickman install a reclaimed hard pine floor. The orientation of the boards is explained, and the moisture content of the subfloor is checked, before the new floor is installed.

The old flooring in the Gothic Carpenter-style home in Elmwood has been removed. Bob outlines the process of installing the new floor and discusses the new support beams with the carpenters. Meanwhile, plumbing and plaster work get underway.

The first Elmwood project concerns remodeling a Gothic Carpenter-style home, built in 1871.

Bob offers some history of Providence, RI, particularly of the city’s Elmwood neighborhood.
