Elmwood Neighborhood: Restoring a "Bench" Porch (11x19)

Data emisji: Sty 08, 2001

Bob joins homeowner Judi Lee for a restoration project involving a side "bench porch" that has been badly damaged by water and decay. Carpenters Bob Ryley and Terry Bates are on site, and, before starting demolition, Terry explains the scope of the job. Next, Bob checks in with Amadeo DiRocco, who is doing some masonry foundation repair. Terry continues work with new shingles, new railings from Forester Moulding, and new Chadsworth's columns. Steps are taken to prevent future water damage to the richly-hued exterior. And last, a new screen door is hung, right as the landscaping (including the installation of a new sprinkler system) gets underway.
