This Old House (1979)
S20E24 The Key West House - 5
Episode Overview
The episode begins at Key West, showcasing its primary industry: cruise ships. The This Old House crew embarks on a tour of the Carnival Ecstasy, which is docked for the day. Meanwhile, back at the house, a glazier meticulously cuts and installs restoration glass, crafted like the mouth-blown glass from the 1800s, into the new sash. Outside, lead carpenter Bev Horlick and the team frame the new porch roof using 3” x 4” rafters, while another crew sprays concrete to shape the new pool. The journey continues to Savannah, Georgia, where we visit the millwork shop creating library cabinets tailored to homeowner Michael Miller’s design. The episode wraps up with a look at the newly installed skylight. Tune in to discover the art of fine cabinetry and tips for insulating homes on islands.
