This Old House

Kevin pulls up to the house to see Roger and Katherine taking inventory of the plants, many of which Roger hopes to save and replant when the renovation is complete. Tommy explains the structural plan for the kitchen/dining area, which will be opened up to create one large eat-in kitchen. Demolition begins in the kitchen. Architectural historian Joe Cornish gives Norm a tour of Belmont's varied Victorian home styles, and they revisit the 1993 TOH Belmont project. Kitchen demo is complete, and Tommy inspects the open walls to determine how he'll provide structural support for the newly opened space. Dave Greenwood shows Norm how he's repairing the window pulley systems throughout the house. Salvage expert John Grossman stops by to collect usable items removed during demolition, including a hidden staircase that Tommy discovered in the kitchen.
