This Old House: Newton, MA 14

Kevin opens the show in the backyard, walking past Roger’s earlier handiwork to his current effort: sod installation. The previous day’s rain required special preparations to deal with the wet soil. Inside, Kevin talks about the counters with distributor Chelsie Arnold as the installers fit them into place. Outside and in the basement, Rich explains the new SEER requirements and why the newer air conditioning units are so much larger than previous models. He explains the new ductwork and the two stage air handler. Back upstairs, Tom visually ties the kitchen to the family room by duplicating some wainscoting. Jim Clark works to preserve the downstairs wood surfaces and restore those upstairs, and in the garage, Kevin talks about the new floor coating.
