Episode #602
In the first half of the hour, host Kevin O'Connor meets landscape architect Stephanie Hubbard to see her plan that calls for minimal changes out front, but major work in the back to re-grade and create a large new patio. In the old kitchen, general contractor Tom Silva recaps the plan, while master carpenter Norm Abram and homeowner Paul Friedberg begin demolition. Kevin visits a state-of-the-art facility in Westborough, Massachusetts, where the crew's construction and demolition waste is sorted for recycling. Chimney expert Mark Schaub evaluates the 100-year old chimney flues with the help of a "flue cam," which is monitored on a laptop computer. Landscape contractor Roger Cook cuts down the giant ewes that have been obscuring the front of the house for decades. In the second half of the hour, in the ASK THIS OLD HOUSE loft, Tom shows Kevin a few different types of "squares" used for general carpentry. While making a HOUSE call, Roger helps a homeowner build a new patio using concrete paving bricks.
