New Orleans Project (Part 1)
In the first half of the The "This Old House Hour" the second project of the season brings This Old House to New Orleans, Louisiana, to help a fourth-generation resident of the Lower Ninth ward return home, while following stories of rebuilding and recovery throughout the city. Host Kevin O'Connor visits Musicians' Village with founder Harry Connick Jr. to see how he, along with childhood friend Branford Marsalis, are providing new housing for the city's musicians through Habitat for Humanity. In historic Holy Cross, along the banks of the Mississippi River, homeowner Rashida Ferdinand shows Kevin why she loves her c. 1892 flood-damaged shotgun single and artist's studio. Rashida tells Kevin her plans to restore and expand the property after a two-year vacancy. Master carpenter Norm Abram meets Rashida's builder to assess the challenges of building post-Katrina in New Orleans. In the second half of the Hour, on Ask This Old House, landscape contractor Roger Cook travels to Oregon to help a homeowner improve her lawn, starting with a simple soil test. Plumbing and heating exper Richard Trethewey and Kevin visit a local home center to identify several different types of water supply pipes.
