This Old House (1979)

Episode Overview

The host explores the Tower of London, where he encounters a Beefeater and one of the iconic ravens. Later, site supervisor Finn Hurley provides an update on the framing and roofing work at the flat. We also meet master thatcher Christopher White, who shares his expertise in this traditional roofing technique. Our master carpenter heads to a woodworking shop to oversee the creation of the Volgers' new staircase. Back at the flat, David Booth brings troubling news: the local planning authority has ordered a halt to the mansard extension for a review of the proposed plans, and a planning consultant shares his insights with the homeowners.
