This Old House (1979)

Episode Overview

We encounter artist Don McKillop, who is busy capturing the Guinees' house on canvas, while a new brick sidewalk is laid out across the street. Inside, floor man Jeff Hosking puts the finishing touches on the rough wide pine flooring in the master bedroom, while painter Mike McManus utilizes a high-volume, low-pressure sprayer to work on the delicate woodwork in the guest bedroom. Next, we explore a replica village that showcases Salem's origins as a fishing settlement from 1630. In the backyard, a children's playset is assembled to the delight of the Guinee boys. Our host discusses the completed roofing project with James Shea, featuring fiberglass shingles on the back slope, repaired slate in the front, and new copper flashing throughout. Meanwhile, Charlie Silva installs a hybrid storm window system, using single-pane interior units for the historically significant front windows and high-quality triple-tracks for the rest of the house. To wrap up, the team starts placing the freshly painted kitchen cabinets
