Austin Green Remodel Project, Part 6/Damaged Mailb
In the first half of The "This Old House Hour", despite a crippling ice storm in Texas, work continues at the project house. Builder Bill Moore shows master carpenter Norm Abram how he's using old roof rafters to fashion the railing system and nosings for the new stair treads. Outside, plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey lends a hand moving a 1,200-gallon tank into place on the property, while rainwater harvester Blake West shows how the water will be collected from the metal roof with a series of gutters and PVC pipes, stored in the tank, and used later for irrigation. Tile contractors Robbie and Bryan Hawkins install handmade tile made from 50% recycled-content on the master bathroom floor. Richard gets an update on the mechanicals from HVAC contractor Matt Romero who's installed a high efficiency two-stage air conditioning system with an electronic clean air filter. In the second half of the Hour, landscape contractor Roger Cook makes a House call and helps a homeowner replace a mailbox that has been damaged by an enthusiastic snowplow. Then, general contractor Tom Silva heads to St. Louis to help a pair of homeowners re-point the failing mortar on their home's brick foundation.
