This Old House (1979)

Episode Overview

An in-ground propane tank is set up for cooking and drying needs. Inside the house, the wallboard is already installed, and plaster is being applied to the ceiling. Tom Silva showcases a new vacuum sander designed to smooth out the taped seams on the drywall. Meanwhile, Richard Trethewey is busy fitting a flexible stainless steel oil-burner flue liner in the chimney to protect the mortar and bricks from flue gases. Our master carpenter employs a new jig to create holes for the lock set on the rear exterior door. Sima heads to a tile store to select slate tiles, while the Ferrante brothers use a diamond wet saw to cut them for installation in the mudroom, laundry room, and half bath.
