This Old House (1979)

Episode Overview

After a quick breakfast at Johnny's Luncheonette, host Kevin O'Connor connects with paint color expert Ann Pfaff to discuss suitable shades for the Shingle-style house. Meanwhile, back in Newton, general contractor Tom Silva and master carpenter Norm Abram construct a 12-foot wall for the kitchen bump-out, which will feature a built-in bench for dining. In Boston's South End, Kevin visits stained glass artisan Jim Anderson in his workshop, where they work on restoring the home's four historic windows. In the backyard, landscape contractor Roger Cook utilizes a pay-as-you-go concrete truck to create a buttress wall to support the exposed rubble stone foundation beneath the new porch.
