Project: Verge Board and Plumbing

Bob checks in with plumbing contractor Jim Timino, who is running PVC pipe for the rough plumbing. Along the way, Jim demonstrates how to properly cement, or glue, PVC fittings and pipe.

As contractor Bob Ryley attaches the gingerbread-style verge board on one gable end of the Martha’s Vineyard Victorian project, Bob remarks on the notable features of the building’s wood frame.

Bob meets with an expert in Victorian design to look at homes with scalloped, diamond, and straight shingles. Gingerbread-style brackets and railings are also reviewed. Plus, Bob visits a Victorian garden “folly” on the Jersey Shore.
