Austin Green Remodel Project (Part 2)
In the first half of The "This Old House Hour", host Kevin O'Connor and master carpenter Norm Abram arrive back in Austin, Texas, with a visit to the spring fed pool at Barton Springs, a favorite local outdoor hangout since the 1920s. Back at the house, the first truckload of framing material arrives, while builder Bill Moore's crew is busy "deconstructing" the house. Program manager Richard Morgan drops by to explain what they will need to accomplish to qualify for a rare 5-star rating from Austin Energy's Green Building Program. In the second half of the Hour, landscape contractor Roger Cook shows a homeowner how the brick stairs in front of his house have created a blistering "micro-climate," causing damage to an adjacent shrub. Together, they remove the ailing shrub and replace it with a heat-tolerant yew. Then Roger, along with Kevin, general contractor Tom Silva, and plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey, ask "What is it?" in the Ask This Old House loft. Afterward, Tom heads out on a House call to improve the ventilation in an attic by installing a solar-powered roof fan.
