This Old House (1979)

Episode Overview

Tom arrives with an excavator equipped with a hoe ram to break through the ledge obstructing our new basement. Richard utilizes a 3D model to clarify the components of a septic system and the necessary upgrades for compliance. Beneath the elevated barn, Norm inspects the current rubble stone foundation.
