New Orleans Project, Part 9/Pressure Reducing Valve/Problems with Crown Molding
In the first half of The "This Old House Hour", host Kevin O'Connor meets with District Fire Chief Tim McConnell to see how his own firemen, with the help of volunteers and the Denis Leary Foundation in New York City, are rebuilding 22 damaged firehouses on their own time. In Holy Cross, master carpenter Norm Abram drives up to the project house to find plants arriving and master mason Teddy Pierre Jr. laying local St. Joe brick on the front walk. Lead carpenter Mike Gettle installs new custom composite shutters that are functional for privacy and security and also meet the Historic District guidelines. In the French Quarter, Kevin stops by Bevolo Lighting to see how Drew Bevolo, a third generation lighting fixture manufacturer, is carrying on the family tradition while also building lights for our project. At Musicians' Village, landscape contractor Roger Cook helps the volunteers establish grade and plant screening shrubs and grasses in homeowner Calvin Johnson's front yard. In the second half of the Hour, on Ask This Old House, plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey helps a homeowner with very high water pressure by installing a "pressure reducing valve." Roger is joined in the Ask This Old House loft by turf expert Mary Owen to discuss which types of grass are appropriate for certain climates and conditions. General contractor Tom Silva helps a homeowner who had problems installing crown molding on his kitchen cabinets.
