New Orleans Project (Part 2)
In the first half of The "This Old House Hour", host Kevin O'Connor meets homeowner Rashida Ferdinand and her architect Rick Fifield to look at the plans and model of the proposed work on her shotgun single. The plan calls for a "camelback" addition that will house a master suite and a new family room with back and side porches to take advantage of the cool river breezes. As demolition begins inside, builder Carl Hithe shows master carpenter Norm Abram how the house was originally constructed from dismantled bargeboards taken from vessels that once traveled down the Mississippi. At Musicians' Village, Kevin meets Executive Director Jim Pate to see how Habitat for Humanity's houses are constructed post-Katrina. In the second half of the Hour, on Ask This Old House, plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey travels to Phoenix, Arizona, to help a pair of homeowners install a new water softening system. General contractor Tom Silva shows a homeowner how to install fiber-cement shingles on his new backyard shed.
