The This Old House Hour

Stone Cold Pavers; Water Filter, Bathroom Caulking (17x19)

Uitzenddatum: Apr 20, 2019

There are four hardscapes in the yard that require stone. Today Jenn travels with our homeowners, Sunil and Neha, and Blair, the landscape architect, to a stone design center to pick out material. Back at the house, Tommy installs the skylight that Norm framed out. A completely new sewer line and water main to the street goes in outside. Kevin finds Richard working with Jimmy McLaughlin’s crew as they make a mess of the street. A good sub-floor is key to a solid, quiet floor. Tommy shows Kevin some sub-flooring skills he learned years ago. Downstairs, the original foundation of our project has a bad crack that could be a problem in the future. Tommy and Kevin watch Hugo Provetti repair the fissure with a foundation epoxy. Richard travels to Los Angeles to update a water filter on a retro faucet; Mark explains the uses for different types of masonry jointers; Nathan explains when and how to use a Japanese pull saw; Tom demonstrates the correct materials and techniques required for re-caulking a bathtub.
