The New Yankee Workshop (1989)

Episode Overview

In a nostalgic throwback to an earlier episode of This Old House, we revisit the installation of a wooden flagpole in Napa, California. Now, Norm is ready to tackle the construction of a new one in The New Yankee Workshop. Crafted from durable Douglas fir and bonded with epoxy, this flagpole is coated with marine-grade paint and secured with a custom steel ground anchor designed by expert welder Bob Diorio. Its innovative design allows for easy maintenance, as the entire pole can be lowered whenever needed. Stand out in your neighborhood by creating your own flagpole!
