Home Again with Bob Vila

Elmwood Neighborhood: Front Porch and Bathroom (11x21)

Air date: Jan 22, 2001

Bob meets Robert and Krystal Emanuel, owners of a Shingle-style home that needs a new roof, new sidewall shingles, and a renovation of the front porch. The construction team begins by applying the Georgia Pacific roofing shingles, while Bob talks to Homer Earle (from the Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau) and Johannes Boonstra (from Sikkens). They discuss sidewall shingles, as carpenter Bob Ryley works at installing them. On the porch, the columns are being stripped, and work on the landscape and hardscape gets underway. Bob takes a tour of the Architectural Brass shop, where the new door fixtures are being fabricated.
