This Old House (1979)
S20E14 The Watertown House - 14
Episode Overview
The episode kicks off with a detailed tour of the basement's plumbing and heating systems. Highlights include a pressure-reducing valve that lowers the incoming water pressure from 110 psi to a more manageable 65 psi, sturdy no-hub cast iron waste lines, a high-efficiency two-burner boiler, and an impressive ducting setup connected to an air handler, humidifier, and electrostatic air cleaner. Meanwhile, the terrazzo floor upstairs gleams after polishing. Our team installs a new window featuring a wooden fiber and resin core, a wood veneer finish inside, and a vinyl exterior. Lighting designer Doreen Le May Madden visits a nearby showroom to unveil her innovative lighting ideas for homeowner Sue Denny, including a stunning fiber-optic lighting package.
