The first phase of demolition

00:00:02,900 --> 00:00:06,066
began 11 months ago on
our 1887 Victorian

3
00:00:06,133 --> 00:00:08,066
in Glen Ridge, New Jersey,

4
00:00:08,133 --> 00:00:11,566
and soon led to the discovery
of extensive damage

5
00:00:11,633 --> 00:00:15,133
that required rebuilding
nearly all of the interior.

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,566
Today, we hand
the keys back to our homeowners.

Kevin: Hey, there.
I'm Kevin O'Connor,

16
00:00:57,900 --> 00:00:59,900
and welcome back to
"This Old House"

17
00:00:59,966 --> 00:01:01,533
and to Glen Ridge, New Jersey.

Where today,
we are wrapping up our project.

19
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,300
Just got to pick up
the rest of the crew here

20
00:01:06,366 --> 00:01:08,400
at the train station.

21
00:01:08,466 --> 00:01:09,633
Hey, Richard.

Kevin: Now, listen,
I know I've said it before,

25
00:01:14,766 --> 00:01:16,233
but I'm gonna say it again.

26
00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:18,633
I love this town.

27
00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:20,400
Tom: Well, that's
because you're from here, sonny.

Kevin: Hey, Jersey Strong.
Jenn: I love it, too.

29
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,700
I love the streets are so clean,
all the old growth trees.

30
00:01:26,766 --> 00:01:29,466
And I really enjoyed
my visit to Freeman Gardens

31
00:01:29,533 --> 00:01:31,266
and the connection to
our project house.

32
00:01:31,333 --> 00:01:33,600
Richard: This community has got
all these gas lights

33
00:01:33,666 --> 00:01:34,933
on the sidewalks at night.

00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,733
It's really special,
really terrific.

35
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,100
And you get a view
of the Manhattan skyline,

36
00:01:39,166 --> 00:01:40,600
including the Empire State
Building.

37
00:01:40,666 --> 00:01:42,433
Kevin: Ah, the Empire State
Building.

38
00:01:42,500 --> 00:01:45,233
That was Tommy's
great uncle three times removed

39
00:01:45,300 --> 00:01:46,700
who worked on it, Uncle Petey.

40
00:01:46,766 --> 00:01:48,833
Tom: Uncle Petey.
It's Uncle Manuel.

41
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:50,200
Richard: Manny.
Manny they called him.

42
00:01:50,266 --> 00:01:51,400
Tom: Not even close.
Kevin: One Silva is the same

43
00:01:51,466 --> 00:01:52,933
as the other Silva.

44
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,266
But listen. I'm impressed.

45
00:01:54,333 --> 00:01:55,600
Not only did he work
on the project,

46
00:01:55,666 --> 00:01:58,566
but they brought it in on time
and on budget.

47
00:01:58,633 --> 00:02:00,633
Tom: Yeah. On budget is
for sure.

48
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:03,300
And also 12 days early,
I might add.

49
00:02:03,366 --> 00:02:06,633
Kevin: Ah, well, expect
nothing less from a Silva.

50
00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:09,000
Jenn: Speaking of on time
and on budget,

51
00:02:09,066 --> 00:02:10,433
how did our builder do?

52
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:12,533
Tom: Well, I tell you,
I think Zack did a great job.

53
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,800
His attention to detail
is amazing.

54
00:02:14,866 --> 00:02:17,400
And I love the fact
that he kept the job really neat

55
00:02:17,466 --> 00:02:19,300
along the whole process.
Kevin: High praise.

56
00:02:19,366 --> 00:02:20,566
Richard:
And in the mechanical world,

57
00:02:20,633 --> 00:02:22,533
he brought everything together
as a system,

58
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,033
which is terrific.
Kevin: Yeah.

59
00:02:24,100 --> 00:02:27,033
Jenn: Yeah, managing all the
subs and all the change orders,

60
00:02:27,100 --> 00:02:28,833
very impressive.
Kevin: Speaking of change

61
00:02:28,900 --> 00:02:31,733
orders, we had a big one
early on, Tommy, unexpected.

62
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,500
Tom: A big surprise.

63
00:02:33,566 --> 00:02:36,700
During the demo, they discovered
that all of the joists,

64
00:02:36,766 --> 00:02:38,566
the main beams
on the first floor

65
00:02:38,633 --> 00:02:43,200
and some of the second floor
were eaten by termites.

66
00:02:43,266 --> 00:02:45,833
So that all had to get reframed,
restructured.

67
00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:47,733
Richard: Good thing we came.
Tom: Yeah.

68
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,533
Jenn: Well, I'm happy
they didn't disturb all

69
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,033
the established trees on-site

70
00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:52,633
when they were trenching
for the sewer lines.

71
00:02:52,700 --> 00:02:53,966
Richard: Always protecting
those trees.

72
00:02:54,033 --> 00:02:55,600
Jenn: Someone's got to, Richard.

73
00:02:55,666 --> 00:02:58,000
Kevin: Sounds like everybody is
duly impressed with Zack.

74
00:02:58,066 --> 00:03:00,600
What do you say
we check out his handiwork

75
00:03:00,666 --> 00:03:02,633
and have a look at the house?
Tom: Okay. Sounds good.

76
00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:04,133
Jenn: Let's do it.

77
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:07,966
Richard: Wow.
Kevin: Oh, yeah.

78
00:03:08,033 --> 00:03:09,300
Tom: Yeah.
Richard: Alright,

79
00:03:09,366 --> 00:03:11,166
we'll catch you guys later.
Kevin: Okay.

80
00:03:11,233 --> 00:03:12,866
Wow. I like what I see, Tommy.

81
00:03:12,933 --> 00:03:14,100
Tom: I like what I see, too.

82
00:03:14,166 --> 00:03:16,300
I like the gutters,
the downspout size.

83
00:03:16,366 --> 00:03:18,100
And I really like
the lattice detail

84
00:03:18,166 --> 00:03:20,433
with the square pattern.
Kevin: Yeah.

85
00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:22,666
Hey, there he is.
Zack, alright.

86
00:03:22,733 --> 00:03:24,333
Zack: How's it going?
Kevin: Going alright.

87
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,566
How are you doing?
How are you feeling?

88
00:03:25,633 --> 00:03:26,966
Zack: Pretty happy.
Tom: You should be.

89
00:03:27,033 --> 00:03:29,933
Kevin: Should be.
The porch just jumps out at you.

90
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,733
Love the details, the brackets
which you brought back, right?

91
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,033
Zack: Yeah, the brackets were
from that historic photograph,

92
00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:37,233
and it really adds a lot of
nice detail to this front porch.

93
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:38,333
Kevin: I think it does.
Tom: Yeah.

94
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,700
I like the fact
that you've changed

95
00:03:39,766 --> 00:03:42,233
that railing detail
with the post that was bent

96
00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:44,133
and broaded to a baluster.

97
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,466
And I also like the fact that
you kept the railing height low,

98
00:03:47,533 --> 00:03:48,933
which is more historic.

99
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,333
Zack: Yeah,
I mean, that was a collaboration

100
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,000
with the historic society
and the architect.

101
00:03:52,066 --> 00:03:54,166
They did a great job.
Tom: Yeah. Perfect.

102
00:03:54,233 --> 00:03:56,300
Kevin: Sticking with a lot
of the original details.

103
00:03:56,366 --> 00:03:58,900
Although the diamond pattern
on the gable end,

104
00:03:58,966 --> 00:04:01,666
not original, but I got to say,
it looks really good.

105
00:04:01,733 --> 00:04:03,666
Zack: Yeah, we were surprised
when we didn't uncover it,

106
00:04:03,733 --> 00:04:05,866
but honestly, it looks
way better with the diamond,

107
00:04:05,933 --> 00:04:07,700
so we decided
to leave that detail on.

108
00:04:07,766 --> 00:04:10,000
Tom: I was surprised that it
wasn't diamond under there also.

109
00:04:10,066 --> 00:04:11,333
Kevin: Looks great.
You should feel good

110
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,066
about everything, Zach.
It's absolutely terrific.

111
00:04:13,133 --> 00:04:13,966
Zack: Oh, thanks a lot.
Kevin: Hey.

112
00:04:14,033 --> 00:04:14,966
There are the homeowners.

113
00:04:15,033 --> 00:04:16,333
Hopefully they're happy as well.

114
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,200
Sunita, Shankar,
how are you guys?

115
00:04:18,266 --> 00:04:20,733
Shankar: Very well. Thank you.
Kevin: Exciting day for you.

116
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,100
How do you guys feel?
Sunita: It's amazing.

117
00:04:23,166 --> 00:04:26,800
Really love the work.
It's just incredible.

118
00:04:26,866 --> 00:04:28,700
Kevin: Well, compliments
to Zack on that one.

119
00:04:28,766 --> 00:04:31,200
Zack: Now, we had
amazing homeowners to work with.

120
00:04:31,266 --> 00:04:32,300
Kevin: But, you know,
we'd love a tour.

121
00:04:32,366 --> 00:04:33,633
We'd love to see the inside.

122
00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:35,366
Sunita: I'll take you in
for the first floor.

123
00:04:35,433 --> 00:04:36,900
Kevin: Terrific.
Shankar: And then I'll wait for

124
00:04:36,966 --> 00:04:38,466
you on the third floor.
Kevin: Sounds like a plan.

125
00:04:38,533 --> 00:04:39,566
Tom: Sounds good.
Zack: Let me show you

126
00:04:39,633 --> 00:04:41,200
this window, Tom.
Tom: Alright.

127
00:04:41,266 --> 00:04:43,800
Kevin: Let's see what we got.
The old door refurbished.

128
00:04:43,866 --> 00:04:46,666
Look what you did to this,
pop of color, high gloss,

129
00:04:46,733 --> 00:04:48,233
and you restored the hardware,
right?

130
00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:50,366
Sunita: Yep. That was
the original door knocker

131
00:04:50,433 --> 00:04:52,233
and the original doorknob.

132
00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:54,233
Kevin: Love it, great way
to enter the house.

133
00:04:54,300 --> 00:04:57,266
Look at your new entryway,
Sunita.

134
00:04:57,333 --> 00:05:00,100
Sunita: So, you remember when
you first entered the house,

135
00:05:00,166 --> 00:05:03,333
the staircase was
like the C-shaped staircase.

136
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,333
When we had to take the first
and the second floor out

137
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,066
because of the termite damage,

138
00:05:08,133 --> 00:05:13,566
our architect came back
with a beautiful open staircase,

139
00:05:13,633 --> 00:05:16,900
which is so welcoming.
Kevin: Views to the second,

140
00:05:16,966 --> 00:05:18,800
hints of the third.
I love the paneling.

141
00:05:18,866 --> 00:05:21,833
Sunita: Oh, yes, Zack did
a beautiful job on the paneling.

142
00:05:21,900 --> 00:05:24,766
Kevin:
Soaring is the word, too, right?
You get volume in this space.

143
00:05:24,833 --> 00:05:26,300
Sunita: Yeah. That was so --

144
00:05:26,366 --> 00:05:30,766
And then you remember
over here, we had a fireplace.

145
00:05:30,833 --> 00:05:32,166
Kevin: Oh, yeah.
Sunita: You remember?

146
00:05:32,233 --> 00:05:34,066
And we didn't have a closet.
Kevin: No, you didn't.

147
00:05:34,133 --> 00:05:37,500
Sunita: So now we have a closet
in this space,

148
00:05:37,566 --> 00:05:39,066
so you can hang up your coat.

149
00:05:39,133 --> 00:05:41,300
Very welcoming to anyone
who comes in.

150
00:05:41,366 --> 00:05:42,933
They feel
like they're part of our home.

151
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,700
Kevin: Don't mind if I do.
Alright.

152
00:05:44,766 --> 00:05:47,933
Sunita: And then over here
what you see is

153
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,900
this beautiful arched entry
going down to the basement.

154
00:05:51,966 --> 00:05:54,000
Kevin: Mm-hmm.
Sunita: And it just has

155
00:05:54,066 --> 00:05:58,100
some beautiful detail created
by Tommy and Zack.

156
00:05:58,166 --> 00:05:59,733
Kevin: Sweeping base moldings
right there.

157
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,333
Nicest entrance to a basement
I've seen in a long time.

158
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,233
That is terrific.
Sunita: Yeah, no, it's
really nice.

159
00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:07,766
And then I'm going to take you
over to the sitting room.

160
00:06:07,833 --> 00:06:10,433
This room used to be
a double parlor.

161
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:11,966
You remember?
Kevin: Room went from the front

162
00:06:12,033 --> 00:06:14,833
to the back the entire way.
Sunita: Front to the back.

163
00:06:14,900 --> 00:06:19,566
And what we've decided to do is
to be able to create two rooms

164
00:06:19,633 --> 00:06:22,666
and use this currently
as a sitting room,

165
00:06:22,733 --> 00:06:25,833
but have it
as a potential bedroom

166
00:06:25,900 --> 00:06:28,700
should we need to be
able to move downstairs.

167
00:06:28,766 --> 00:06:31,066
We have pocket doors
on both sides

168
00:06:31,133 --> 00:06:32,933
so that we can close it off.

169
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,766
And then as you walk here,

170
00:06:34,833 --> 00:06:38,933
you can see this is
going to be our new living room.

171
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,700
Remember, Jason put in
this great sound system.

172
00:06:41,766 --> 00:06:43,966
We're going to have
a super media center.

173
00:06:44,033 --> 00:06:45,433
Kevin: You guys will be spending
a lot of time in this room.

174
00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:47,566
Sunita: We'll be spending
a lot of time in this room.

175
00:06:47,633 --> 00:06:50,333
And you remember before
we actually had a wall here,

176
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,033
and there was a chimney
behind in this space.

177
00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:55,200
Now, we've got
this large entryway,

178
00:06:55,266 --> 00:06:58,966
and over here, we have
a fully accessible bathroom.

179
00:06:59,033 --> 00:07:00,100
Kevin:
So if you're in that bedroom

180
00:07:00,166 --> 00:07:01,900
on the first floor,
full bathroom.

181
00:07:01,966 --> 00:07:04,000
Sunita: Exactly.
Kevin: So smart future proofing.

182
00:07:04,066 --> 00:07:08,100
Sunita: And then here is
what was the original kitchen.

183
00:07:08,166 --> 00:07:11,633
We only had one window
in that space.

184
00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:15,333
And we added another window,
and we created a nice little,

185
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:16,900
cozy little nook.

186
00:07:16,966 --> 00:07:18,233
Kevin: That's a gorgeous corner
right there.

187
00:07:18,300 --> 00:07:21,033
Sunita: And we have some
pantries and a coffee bar.

188
00:07:21,100 --> 00:07:22,433
Kevin: Yep.
Sunita: Over here,

189
00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:25,033
we have our mud room.

190
00:07:25,100 --> 00:07:28,100
This was the bench that
was designed by our architect,

191
00:07:28,166 --> 00:07:29,700
built by Zack and Tommy.

192
00:07:29,766 --> 00:07:31,833
It's the original footprint.
Kevin: Yeah.

193
00:07:31,900 --> 00:07:34,700
Sunita: But it's just
a dramatic difference.

194
00:07:34,766 --> 00:07:36,866
Kevin: All of this space
that we just traversed

195
00:07:36,933 --> 00:07:40,400
is the original footprint,
but it's so much more open.

196
00:07:40,466 --> 00:07:42,600
It's bright. You guys
just nailed the aesthetic.

197
00:07:42,666 --> 00:07:44,533
Sunita: Thank you.
It really came out great.

199
00:07:52,066 --> 00:07:54,500
Tom: Boy, Asha, what a
difference in the foyer here

200
00:07:54,566 --> 00:07:57,000
when you took out
that fireplace and the chimney,

201
00:07:57,066 --> 00:07:58,300
moved the wall over.

202
00:07:58,366 --> 00:08:01,333
You made a big space here
for this stairway.

203
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,500
When you came in the front door,
you almost walked into a wall.

204
00:08:04,566 --> 00:08:06,666
Makes a big difference.
Asha: Huge difference.

205
00:08:06,733 --> 00:08:08,066
And I don't know
if you remember,

206
00:08:08,133 --> 00:08:11,200
but we actually had a bedroom
right in this spot here.

207
00:08:11,266 --> 00:08:12,600
Tom: I do.
Asha: Taking that out,

208
00:08:12,666 --> 00:08:14,100
revamped the whole thing.
Tom: Yeah.

209
00:08:14,166 --> 00:08:15,933
Freed up the whole thing,
and then you had a place

210
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,133
to put the stairway
to the third floor.

211
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,433
You took out the stairway
that was about here

212
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,433
that went in and over.
Asha: Yeah.

213
00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:24,633
And we even have two bedrooms
on this side now.

214
00:08:24,700 --> 00:08:26,700
Tom: Yeah.
Asha: Laundry room back here.

215
00:08:26,766 --> 00:08:28,900
Don't have to take our laundry
down to the basement.

216
00:08:28,966 --> 00:08:30,633
That's a big deal.
Asha: Huge deal.

217
00:08:30,700 --> 00:08:31,933
But let me show you
the biggest change.

218
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,100
Tom: Okay.
Asha: So check out in here.

219
00:08:35,166 --> 00:08:36,900
Tom: Oh, what a difference, huh?
Asha: Yeah.

220
00:08:36,966 --> 00:08:38,400
This is our new office.

221
00:08:38,466 --> 00:08:40,500
Tom: Yeah, I remember you had
a little dinky room here.

222
00:08:40,566 --> 00:08:42,466
Asha: Yeah.
Tom: But now with this new space

223
00:08:42,533 --> 00:08:45,133
right here all the way back here
you got a beautiful office.

224
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,966
Asha: A lot more room.
And there's even more.

225
00:08:47,033 --> 00:08:48,500
Let me show you.
Tom: Alright.

226
00:08:48,566 --> 00:08:50,500
Asha: So now we have
this hallway here.

227
00:08:50,566 --> 00:08:52,233
Tom: Nice, wide hall.
Asha: Yeah.

228
00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:54,700
And this leads
to our primary bathroom.

229
00:08:54,766 --> 00:08:57,200
Tom: Oh, this is beautiful.
I love it.

230
00:08:57,266 --> 00:09:00,866
Big shower, a lot of space.
Asha: So same story.

231
00:09:00,933 --> 00:09:04,100
We've just expanding it out,
became a new bathroom.

232
00:09:04,166 --> 00:09:06,300
Tom: Yeah.
And then, I think, didn't it

233
00:09:06,366 --> 00:09:08,466
end right about this mirror?
Asha: Right about here.

234
00:09:08,533 --> 00:09:10,366
And there was even
a window here on the left.

235
00:09:10,433 --> 00:09:12,766
Tom: That was crazy.
Asha: So now we have a closet
here.

236
00:09:12,833 --> 00:09:14,533
Tom: Yeah,
big walk-in closet there.

237
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,733
That's nice.
Asha: And then our bedroom here.

Tom:
This is a beautiful bedroom.

239
00:09:18,500 --> 00:09:20,066
Asha: Yeah,
we're really happy with it.

Tom:
I mean, why wouldn't you be?

241
00:09:21,233 --> 00:09:22,633
Look at all this natural light

242
00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:24,933
from these beautiful windows,
high ceiling.

243
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,233
Asha: Yeah, we love it.
And it's at the back

244
00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:28,000
of the house,
so it's pretty quiet.

245
00:09:28,066 --> 00:09:29,533
Tom: So you should sleep well.

246
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:30,933
And I like the color.

247
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,500
It's nice and bright
and the height of the ceiling.

248
00:09:33,566 --> 00:09:35,733
Asha: We love it.
Tom: I can understand why.

249

Shankar, what an improvement.

00:09:46,933 --> 00:09:48,966
That old staircase up to
the attic,

253
00:09:49,033 --> 00:09:50,633
narrow, windy, not to code.

254
00:09:50,700 --> 00:09:52,000
And now you've got this beauty.

Welcome to the third floor.

Kevin: Your space.
Shankar: Yep.

257
00:09:55,066 --> 00:09:57,133
Our space,

herringbone style tile work.

Kevin:
With the elongated subway tile,

262
00:10:07,933 --> 00:10:09,766
although in a bright blue,
beautiful.

Kevin: So you've got the nice
penny dot tile.

266
00:10:15,366 --> 00:10:16,433
You got white in the field.

267
00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:18,500
You got beautiful accents
of blue.

268
00:10:18,566 --> 00:10:20,833
Shankar: Right.
They provide nice contrast.

269

was sort of either half finished

270
00:10:23,133 --> 00:10:25,566

high ceiling,

blocked off.

00:12:51,833 --> 00:12:55,533
We're gonna put a ginkgo tree
and probably a butterfly bush.

337
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,666
Jenn: Awesome. And then throw
a couple other perennials in?

338
00:12:57,733 --> 00:12:59,866
It'll be beautiful.
Jason: It will be amazing.

339
00:12:59,933 --> 00:13:01,366
Jenn: Awesome.
Let's go check out the front.

340
00:13:01,433 --> 00:13:02,833
Jason: Alright, let's go.
Jenn: Alright.

341
00:13:04,533 --> 00:13:05,966
Jason:
We're really glad that Zack,

342
00:13:06,033 --> 00:13:07,366
you know, put a lot of effort

343
00:13:07,433 --> 00:13:09,800
in to saving these trees
from the construction.

344
00:13:09,866 --> 00:13:11,200
Jenn: Oh, absolutely.

345
00:13:11,266 --> 00:13:13,733
I mean, you could even see them
from the third floor.

346
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,000
So, these are all called
cornice moss.

347
00:13:16,066 --> 00:13:17,866
There's a Cornelian dogwood,

348
00:13:17,933 --> 00:13:19,600
one of the first
to bloom in the spring.

349
00:13:19,666 --> 00:13:21,866
Actually, one of Roger Cook's
favorite trees.

350
00:13:21,933 --> 00:13:24,633
Jason: Wow. I didn't know that.
Jenn: They're beautiful.

351
00:13:24,700 --> 00:13:26,300
Jason: They really are.
Jenn: Mm-hmm.

352
00:13:26,366 --> 00:13:27,966

that you kept some

353
00:13:28,033 --> 00:13:29,633

that add scale

354
00:13:29,700 --> 00:13:31,633
to this whole front area.

355
00:13:31,700 --> 00:13:33,666
And then over here,
you got the boxwoods in.

356
00:13:33,733 --> 00:13:35,200
Awesome.
Jason: It's looking really good.

357
00:13:35,266 --> 00:13:37,900

family finished this walkway.

358
00:13:37,966 --> 00:13:39,300
Jason: It was a big project,
Jenn.

359
00:13:39,366 --> 00:13:41,500
But it was so nice
to have everyone out there.

360

Jenn: Your parents were
working hard.

361
00:13:43,866 --> 00:13:45,600

♪♪

366
00:13:56,233 --> 00:13:58,000
Richard: Well, down here,
we're in the basement.

367
00:13:58,066 --> 00:14:00,200
It didn't look like this before.
When we first got here,

368
00:14:00,266 --> 00:14:03,633
it was like every basement --
dark and low ceiling,

369
00:14:03,700 --> 00:14:06,300
had a big chimney massing
right here.

370
00:14:06,366 --> 00:14:10,733
It had an original steam
boiler 100 years old, untouched.

371
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,133
It had an old water heater.

372
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,733
So what they did is
they cleared it all out,

373
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,866
put big footings in here,

374
00:14:15,933 --> 00:14:19,300
elevated the entire ceiling,
and all-new mechanical system.

375
00:14:19,366 --> 00:14:21,800
And they have this floor.
Zack, this is quite the floor.

376
00:14:21,866 --> 00:14:23,133
I don't think I've
ever seen something like this

377
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:24,466
in a mechanical room.

378
00:14:24,533 --> 00:14:25,833
Zack: Yes, this is an epoxy
floor.

379
00:14:25,900 --> 00:14:27,200
And the really nice thing
about it

380
00:14:27,266 --> 00:14:28,733
is there's a clear coat on top,

381
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,866
which makes it really easy
to clean up all of the debris

382
00:14:31,933 --> 00:14:33,400
that might accumulate down here.

383
00:14:33,466 --> 00:14:35,400
Richard: It's a far cry from
that dirt floor that was here.

384
00:14:35,466 --> 00:14:36,766
Zack: Yeah.
Richard: Plenty of space

385
00:14:36,833 --> 00:14:39,166
for all the mechanicals,
normally jammed in some corner.

386
00:14:39,233 --> 00:14:41,933
I love you got instantaneous
hot water heaters for the house.

387
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,366
Zack: Yeah, so the client
picked an 80-gallon bathtub.

388
00:14:45,433 --> 00:14:47,866
And that, when combined
with the other three bathrooms

389
00:14:47,933 --> 00:14:49,400
and the washing machine,

390
00:14:49,466 --> 00:14:52,100
isn't really enough for one
tankless unit to keep up with.

391
00:14:52,166 --> 00:14:54,666
So we have the secondary one,
which will help supplement

392
00:14:54,733 --> 00:14:56,866
that when you have
that high draw for hot water.

393
00:14:56,933 --> 00:14:58,233
Richard: So it's a brilliant
solution

394
00:14:58,300 --> 00:15:00,433
because you've got the advantage
of an instantaneous.

395
00:15:00,500 --> 00:15:02,366
You know, there's no tank,
so it can come on.

396
00:15:02,433 --> 00:15:03,600
If you just open a little
faucet,

397
00:15:03,666 --> 00:15:04,700
you want a little bit
of hot water,

398
00:15:04,766 --> 00:15:05,900
only one will come on.

399
00:15:05,966 --> 00:15:07,966
But they communicate
with each other

400
00:15:08,033 --> 00:15:09,833
to just give you everything
you need.

401
00:15:09,900 --> 00:15:11,433
The other thing that's smart,
it has a built-in

402
00:15:11,500 --> 00:15:12,766
recirculating pump.

403
00:15:12,833 --> 00:15:14,166
You know, everybody
wants to be able to open

404
00:15:14,233 --> 00:15:16,433
the hot water faucet
the farthest bathroom away

405
00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:18,600
and have hot water,
and that pump can do that.

406
00:15:18,666 --> 00:15:20,366
But this thing's smart
enough to learn

407
00:15:20,433 --> 00:15:21,833
how people live in the house

408
00:15:21,900 --> 00:15:24,200
and only bring the pump on
during times you might need it.

409
00:15:24,266 --> 00:15:27,466
Zack: Exactly. Clients really
didn't want to leave that water

410
00:15:27,533 --> 00:15:28,933
running all the time
and waste the water,

411
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,266
so that was important for them.

412
00:15:30,333 --> 00:15:31,900
Richard: So, we hot water
covered. Great.

413
00:15:31,966 --> 00:15:35,333
Now, the other thing about
this project I loved was,

414
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,600
you know, they had that sewer
line that went out to the front,

415
00:15:38,666 --> 00:15:40,933
and it kept getting clogged
by tree roots,

416
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,833
and you found
this great solution.

417
00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:45,733
Zack: Yeah, I was lucky to know
someone who does pipe bursting,

418
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,700
and they basically dragged
that long heat-fused pipe

419
00:15:48,766 --> 00:15:49,933
right through the old one.

420
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,466
Richard: It was so great
to have a brand-new line

421
00:15:51,533 --> 00:15:53,166
without having to dig open
the whole yard.

422
00:15:53,233 --> 00:15:55,400
Zack: Yeah, the clients didn't
have to pay for a new driveway,

423
00:15:55,466 --> 00:15:57,833
and they were able to save
their trees that they loved.

424
00:15:57,900 --> 00:15:59,066
Richard:
Now, we were here before.

425
00:15:59,133 --> 00:16:01,333
We also had what was it?
I was seven mini splits.

426
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,733
It was a mess of piping
right here, and that's all gone.

427
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,333
Zack: Yeah. So, we actually
decided to go with heat pumps

428
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,366
with a forced-air distribution
on this job.

429
00:16:08,433 --> 00:16:09,733
Richard: Yeah.
Zack: And of course,

430
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,433
duct work can be tough
to get through old houses.

431
00:16:11,500 --> 00:16:13,866
Richard: Tough to go vertical
up through the building.

432
00:16:13,933 --> 00:16:16,700
Zack:
Exactly. So we thought of the
house like three slices, right?

433
00:16:16,766 --> 00:16:18,833
And put one heat pump
on each floor.

434
00:16:18,900 --> 00:16:21,533
Then it was just horizontal
distribution with the ductwork.

435
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,133
Richard:
So you get refrigeration
piping to the individual units

436
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,833
to condensers outside.

437
00:16:25,900 --> 00:16:28,533
Now, the old systems were
just on or off, right?

438
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,033
Thermostat would say come on,
and there'd be a full blast,

439
00:16:31,100 --> 00:16:33,000
and they would shut off
so that typically

440
00:16:33,066 --> 00:16:35,233
you're just trying to catch up
with heat loss.

441
00:16:35,300 --> 00:16:38,800
With these modern heat pumps,
they're on and they modulate

442
00:16:38,866 --> 00:16:40,300
so that they keep up
with the heat loss

443
00:16:40,366 --> 00:16:41,400
versus trying to catch up.

444
00:16:41,466 --> 00:16:43,433
You know, the fans modulate,

445
00:16:43,500 --> 00:16:45,866
the amount of cooling or heating
power from the refrigerant

446
00:16:45,933 --> 00:16:48,233
modulates according to
how cold it is outside.

447
00:16:48,300 --> 00:16:49,566
Zack: Right.
And that's an important message

448
00:16:49,633 --> 00:16:51,500
because a lot of feedback
I get from clients

449
00:16:51,566 --> 00:16:53,600
when we're removing
cast-iron radiators

450
00:16:53,666 --> 00:16:55,833
that they associate with comfort
and we're telling them

451
00:16:55,900 --> 00:16:58,633
we're going to put forced air
in, they think about this hot

452
00:16:58,700 --> 00:17:00,966
and cold temperature
coming through the house.

453
00:17:01,033 --> 00:17:02,533
Richard: Most hot-air
systems are that way, yes.

454
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,300
Zack: Exactly.
So it's interesting to know

455
00:17:04,366 --> 00:17:06,300
that this one will be
comfortable for the client.

456
00:17:06,366 --> 00:17:09,233
Richard:
Great. So here's our unit
for the first floor right here.

457
00:17:09,300 --> 00:17:11,433
I love it. You got refrigerate
lines to here.

458
00:17:11,500 --> 00:17:14,133
Supply goes out.
The fan pushes air out here

459
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,033
through that duct work out
to the registers,

460
00:17:17,100 --> 00:17:20,466
and then the air comes back
through this common return

461
00:17:20,533 --> 00:17:22,233
back to the unit right here.
Zack: Right.

462
00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:24,333
And this return is fine
on this basement

463
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,233
because we have plenty
of extra square footage.

464
00:17:26,300 --> 00:17:27,400
But on the second
and third floor,

465
00:17:27,466 --> 00:17:28,633
we were trying to, you know,

466
00:17:28,700 --> 00:17:30,700
make this floor plan as big
as possible.

467
00:17:30,766 --> 00:17:32,533
So we actually deleted
the return,

468
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,633
lifted the unit up on a bracket

469
00:17:34,700 --> 00:17:36,766
so that the filter is
accessible from the bottom,

470
00:17:36,833 --> 00:17:38,566
and then we just put
a louver door on it

471
00:17:38,633 --> 00:17:40,433
and that louver door acts
as the return.

472
00:17:40,500 --> 00:17:42,500
Richard: So that's really smart
because it means you've got

473
00:17:42,566 --> 00:17:44,600
easy access, so they'll change

474
00:17:44,666 --> 00:17:46,666
the filtration
and you don't have that big

475
00:17:46,733 --> 00:17:48,533
cumbersome return grill,
which is great.

476
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,466
Zack: Exactly. You're not up on
a ceiling doing it.

477
00:17:50,533 --> 00:17:51,833
Richard: Well, I've seen a lot
of mechanical.

478

This one's bigger
than I've seen in most cases,

479
00:17:53,566 --> 00:17:55,100
but also it's logical.

480
00:17:55,166 --> 00:17:57,566
It's really simple
and the ductsmanship is perfect.

481
00:17:57,633 --> 00:17:59,200
I mean, everything's sealed.

482
00:17:59,266 --> 00:18:01,433
Everything's size is right.
You're on the A-Team.

00:18:59,700 --> 00:19:02,433
And these were the ones
that he was able to recover.

00:19:02,500 --> 00:19:03,833
Kevin: What a great idea
and a nice gift.

504
00:19:03,900 --> 00:19:08,300
Sunita: Beautiful gift.
And here is our induction range.

505
00:19:08,366 --> 00:19:09,800
Kevin: Yeah.
Have you used induction before?

506
00:19:09,866 --> 00:19:11,900
Sunita: No, I have--
We haven't used it yet.

And more counter space

that opens right into
our dining room.

it creates this beautiful space.

here blocking the dining room

so now it's wide open.

that thing.

is the wine cellar.

Yeah, you're the wine guy.

522

Shankar: Remember the old bottle

523
00:19:48,300 --> 00:19:52,233
that you found in the house
in the house from 1887

524
00:19:52,300 --> 00:19:54,366
when this house was built?
Kevin: Yes, right.

525
00:19:54,433 --> 00:19:57,433
Shankar: Well, that wine,
which was a French Bordeaux,

526
00:19:57,500 --> 00:20:00,966
was reflective
of the Gilded Age of that time.

527
00:20:01,033 --> 00:20:02,800
Kevin: And of this house.
Shankar: Right.

528
00:20:02,866 --> 00:20:08,033
And this new house now, it has a
character of its own, flexible,

529
00:20:08,100 --> 00:20:11,933
innovative, energy-efficient,
sustainable and all that.

530
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:17,466
And for that, I've chosen this
Super Tuscan called Tignanello.

531
00:20:17,533 --> 00:20:20,666
Kevin: Tell me about this.
Shankar: Tignanello kind of set

a new standard in wine making
by blending different vintages

on Sangiovese blend.

in with the new.

535

Shankar: Absolutely.
Kevin: So my only question is

536
00:20:31,866 --> 00:20:34,400
do we just talk about that,
or do we ever drink it?

537
00:20:34,466 --> 00:20:37,033
Shankar: We'll have to wait for
four or five years

538
00:20:37,100 --> 00:20:40,166
when this wine comes
to its full maturity.

539
00:20:40,233 --> 00:20:41,900

back and visit.
