Normally, we would light

with recessed cans,

00:00:05,666 --> 00:00:08,100

from the rustic look.

So Heath has

We didn't make it level,

27
00:01:22,433 --> 00:01:24,133

on the floors right here.

Kevin: So saving them from
different parts of the house?

29

different parts of the house,

Well, saving the old floors
but did not save

33
00:01:33,100 --> 00:01:35,100
the old fireplace.
Tom: No.

34
00:01:35,166 --> 00:01:37,800
Kevin:
There was that big behemoth
which wasn't original.

35
00:01:37,866 --> 00:01:39,066
It was old
but not original.

36
00:01:39,133 --> 00:01:40,733
Tom: It was definitely
not original to the house.

37
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,766
It was probably done
in the '50s, my guess.

38
00:01:42,833 --> 00:01:44,600
Kevin: Yeah.
Tom: But it was too big.

39
00:01:44,666 --> 00:01:48,166
And so basically we built
a new fireplace, Rumford.

40
00:01:48,233 --> 00:01:49,900
Much more efficient,
much more in keeping

41
00:01:49,966 --> 00:01:52,600
with the period of the house
and much smaller.

42
00:01:52,666 --> 00:01:54,200
Kevin:
And I love the fact that they
went with the bead board,

43
00:01:54,266 --> 00:01:55,366
sort of dresses up the wall.

44
00:01:55,433 --> 00:01:57,300
Tom: The bead board
really dresses it up.

45
00:01:57,366 --> 00:02:00,933
And if you look here,
because of the fireplace,

46
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,533
the Rumford takes up less space.

47
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:03,700
It's square on the bottom,

48
00:02:03,766 --> 00:02:05,233
then it tapers
and goes up like that.

49
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:07,266
You have a lot of space
behind this side.

50
00:02:07,333 --> 00:02:09,100
Kevin: The chimney is really
sort of in a center here.

51
00:02:09,166 --> 00:02:10,533
Tom: Yeah, yeah.
So they put in a couple

52
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,533
of hidden doors right here.
Kevin: Oh, cool.

53
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:14,900
Tom: Yeah.

54
00:02:14,966 --> 00:02:17,766
To make the doors
fit perfect into the opening,

55
00:02:17,833 --> 00:02:20,500
Mike the carpenter created
a very narrow gap

56
00:02:20,566 --> 00:02:23,700
that are consistent all the way
around the opening

57
00:02:23,766 --> 00:02:27,633
so the doors do fit
like a fine piece of furniture.

58
00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:30,033
To make the door,
he starts with crosscutting

59
00:02:30,100 --> 00:02:33,400
three poplar panel strips.

60
00:02:33,466 --> 00:02:35,400
Then he inserted
the beaded detail,

61
00:02:35,466 --> 00:02:39,100
fit it, and fine-tuned it
and put it in place.

62
00:02:39,166 --> 00:02:41,466
He then put a couple of clamps
underneath it,

63
00:02:41,533 --> 00:02:44,233
glued it, let it dry.

64
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:49,133
Then he custom fit the door,
crosscutting it and ripping it.

65
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,500
Then fine-tuning it
with a belt sander.

66
00:02:52,566 --> 00:02:54,833
The hinges are hidden hinges.

67
00:02:54,900 --> 00:02:57,933
After the hinges are in place,
it fits the door back and forth.

68
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,366
Fine-tunes it, if needed,
and it's all done.

rails for the cabinet doors,

and tenon joint,

than they are thick.

some of the old nails
out of the house,

Very cool.
Okay.

139
00:05:52,866 --> 00:05:55,566
So, I'm looking
at your marks right here.

140
00:05:55,633 --> 00:05:57,500
You guys have lined these up
so that you're nailing

141

not just through the subfloor
but right into every joist.

142
00:06:00,233 --> 00:06:01,933
Josias: Yes.
Kevin: And then, in terms of

143
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:08,033
nailing them down, any technique
to these reproduction cut nails?

144
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:12,000
Josias: If you notice,
the width is twice as wide.

145
00:06:12,066 --> 00:06:16,466
So if you're not careful,
you have to put it

146
00:06:16,533 --> 00:06:18,933
right with the grain.
Kevin: Oh, yeah.

147
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,866
So you guys are just turning it?
Josias: Yeah.

148
00:06:20,933 --> 00:06:23,400
Kevin: So twice as wide
as they are thick.

149
00:06:23,466 --> 00:06:24,666
Josias: Yes.
Kevin: Don't put the width

150
00:06:24,733 --> 00:06:25,900
across the grain.
You're going to get

151
00:06:25,966 --> 00:06:27,800
some splitting,
especially towards the ends.

152
00:06:27,866 --> 00:06:30,233
So with all of the nails in,
what's --

153
00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:32,433
how are you guys
going to finish this off?

154
00:06:32,500 --> 00:06:36,000
Josias: We're going to sand it
and stain it,

155

all of the blemishes over time.

160
00:06:49,366 --> 00:06:50,533
Josias: Yes.
Kevin: But the reason

161
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,133
we're doing it, obviously,
is above us here,

custom soapstone sink.

So, Pierre Rancourt,
you and your team

175
00:07:24,166 --> 00:07:26,266

They picked out

179
00:07:31,433 --> 00:07:33,533
this soapstone slab.
This is from Brazil.

180
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,966
They picked it out

Richard: Yep.
Yeah, I've always had --

182
00:07:37,633 --> 00:07:39,233
I've had soapstone in my house,

It's really great.

Pierre: Exactly.

189
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,700
So, what we were given
by the designer

190
00:07:53,766 --> 00:07:56,933

Yeah, I can see it right here.

192

And so we have to translate that

cut that from a slab.

194
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,200

212
00:08:48,633 --> 00:08:49,866
Typically, the way we do it is,

we'll cut all these
dado channels first,

The reason I put wax on it

278
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,733

279
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,333

to put anything on it,

282
00:11:58,766 --> 00:12:00,933

"First of all, it's too rough.

283
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,833
You'll get a splinter.
And second of all,

284
00:12:02,900 --> 00:12:05,133
you need to be able
to wipe it off if it gets wet."

Kevin: Yeah, yeah.
Tom: And I made it smaller

314
00:13:03,633 --> 00:13:05,900
than the size of the backsplash,

315
00:13:05,966 --> 00:13:09,200
and I taped it to the wall.

316
00:13:09,266 --> 00:13:11,166
Made a bigger opening
in the paper for this

317
00:13:11,233 --> 00:13:12,833

318
00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:14,333
Took my framing square,

319
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,433
used the wide part
of the framing square

320
00:13:16,500 --> 00:13:19,066
because I couldn't stand it up.

321
00:13:19,133 --> 00:13:21,333
So I used that for the bottom
and the top.

322
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,500
And then I used the narrow part
of the framing square,

323
00:13:23,566 --> 00:13:26,166
the leg that's up,
and I marked the ends,

324

325
00:13:27,900 --> 00:13:32,966

my height, and my location

for the box on each side,

327
00:13:34,766 --> 00:13:37,166

the framing square in

328
00:13:37,233 --> 00:13:38,433
to mark the top and bottom.

329
00:13:38,500 --> 00:13:40,933
So I took my combination
square apart,

330
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,966
and I just used the top of that.

331
00:13:43,033 --> 00:13:45,233
I put it on the bottom
where I wanted,

332
00:13:45,300 --> 00:13:47,533
and I put it on the top here
where I wanted it,

333
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,100
and I marked the bottom.

334
00:13:49,166 --> 00:13:52,500
That gave me
the location for the box.

335
00:13:52,566 --> 00:13:56,166
Transferred the marks
to the board.

336
00:13:56,233 --> 00:13:58,433

As we got into the project,

376
00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:48,933
we learned the homeowners
had added this beautiful tub,

377
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,200
and it is spectacular,

378
00:15:50,266 --> 00:15:54,000
but it has a lot of hot water
needed to fill it.

379
00:15:54,066 --> 00:15:55,500
So there's
particular challenges

380
00:15:55,566 --> 00:15:57,766
for the plumber
to size it correctly.

381
00:15:57,833 --> 00:15:59,400
So I brought these blocks along,

382
00:15:59,466 --> 00:16:02,466
and they represent gallons
per minute.

383
00:16:02,533 --> 00:16:04,200
So a block like this,
in this example,

384
00:16:04,266 --> 00:16:06,100
represents
2 1/2 gallons per minute,

385
00:16:06,166 --> 00:16:09,100
and that's really what the law
is in the United States

386
00:16:09,166 --> 00:16:10,700
for the maximum amount
of water

387
00:16:10,766 --> 00:16:12,833
that's supposed to come out
through a faucet aerator

388
00:16:12,900 --> 00:16:15,300
for a shower or for a sink.

389
00:16:15,366 --> 00:16:19,166
Except what happens now,
if we have a tub spout like this

390
00:16:19,233 --> 00:16:21,466
that could allow as much
as 10 gallons per minute --

391
00:16:21,533 --> 00:16:24,966
so four of these,
2 1/2 times 4 --

392
00:16:25,033 --> 00:16:27,133
it could be
10 gallons a minute.

393

And we have a tank downstairs
that's 26 gallons.

In about two minutes,

00:16:33,700 --> 00:16:35,700
we're running cold
out of the spout.

396
00:16:35,766 --> 00:16:37,766
So what do you do?
Do you throttle back

397
00:16:37,833 --> 00:16:41,100

5 gallons a minute?

398
00:16:41,166 --> 00:16:42,900

when you have a tub this big

So, this combination appliance
will do a lot of things for us.

405
00:16:57,766 --> 00:17:00,266

it has a gas-fired

And this will be
super efficient heating,

408
00:17:04,066 --> 00:17:05,566
and we're going
to heat up water,

409
00:17:05,633 --> 00:17:08,033
but it also has one more heat
exchanger inside of it,

410
00:17:08,100 --> 00:17:12,166
which sends heated water down
to this tank at the very bottom.

411
00:17:12,233 --> 00:17:13,900
This will have
26 gallons of hot water

ready to go for kitchens,
bathrooms, lavatory.

413
00:17:18,766 --> 00:17:21,166
So what we have to do
is add some sort of storage.

414
00:17:21,233 --> 00:17:24,866

a stainless-steel tank,

Because of the center
of the island,

00:18:42,233 --> 00:18:44,200
isn't quite as easy
as you would think

452
00:18:44,266 --> 00:18:46,766
because we have an angle,
something like this...

453
00:18:46,833 --> 00:18:48,500
Kevin: Oh, yeah.
Heath: ...we want to make sure

454
00:18:48,566 --> 00:18:50,600
that we account for the fact
that the canopy sticks out

455
00:18:50,666 --> 00:18:51,866
and the angle
and everything comes out.

456

the lights this way.

457
00:18:53,233 --> 00:18:54,866

we do that with up lighting
of some kind,

is lay the channels out

and then go ahead
and take a rubber mallet

498
00:20:03,700 --> 00:20:05,266
and just gently tap it
into place

499
00:20:05,333 --> 00:20:07,300
to make sure it settles
in between this groove.

500
00:20:07,366 --> 00:20:08,800
And once we do that,
you can see the screws

501
00:20:08,866 --> 00:20:10,366
that are inside
of this channel, as well.

502
00:20:10,433 --> 00:20:14,666
Then we can screw it into place
and make it secure.

503
00:20:14,733 --> 00:20:15,900
Now, once the channel's in,

504
00:20:15,966 --> 00:20:17,666
we're going to start
installing the LED tape.

505
00:20:17,733 --> 00:20:20,200
In this case, our pieces
come in 5-foot sections

506
00:20:20,266 --> 00:20:21,466
with an adhesive back.

507
00:20:21,533 --> 00:20:23,966
So we're going to peel
the adhesive back off,

508
00:20:24,033 --> 00:20:25,800
lay the tape in the channel,

509
00:20:25,866 --> 00:20:27,400
and then when it gets
to the 5-foot point,

510
00:20:27,466 --> 00:20:31,400
we're going to hold it up
and add a second piece.

511
00:20:31,466 --> 00:20:33,266
How that works is it
simply plugs together.

512
00:20:33,333 --> 00:20:34,866
So we're going to have one end

513
00:20:34,933 --> 00:20:36,300
and the other end
plugged together

514
00:20:36,366 --> 00:20:39,133
and then continue on and lay
that in the rest of the channel.

515
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,200
Once that's complete
and the LED tape's in,

516
00:20:41,266 --> 00:20:42,266
I'll go ahead
and make the connection

517
00:20:42,333 --> 00:20:44,333
at the terminal blocks
on one end.

518
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,100
And when that's set,
we're finally going to snap

519
00:20:46,166 --> 00:20:47,933
the covers in.
So we have a diffuser cover

520
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,400
that goes
on the top of this channel.

521
00:20:49,466 --> 00:20:50,533
This helps soften that up

522
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,066
and make it
a nice, smooth, even light.

523
00:20:54,133 --> 00:20:55,333
All right.
I think we're all set.

524
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:56,800
You want to jump down
and give it a shot?

525
00:20:56,866 --> 00:20:58,833
Kevin:
I want to see what this
looks like, for sure.

526
00:20:58,900 --> 00:21:00,500
Okay.

527
00:21:00,566 --> 00:21:03,100
Let's see how you did, Heath.
Heath: All right.

528
00:21:03,166 --> 00:21:04,866
Kevin: Energized, right?

529
00:21:04,933 --> 00:21:06,200
Oh.
Heath: Oh, yeah.

530
00:21:06,266 --> 00:21:08,400
That looks great.
Kevin: Doesn't it? Look at that.

531
00:21:08,466 --> 00:21:09,700
Heath: Yeah.
Kevin: Well, what a terrific way

532
00:21:09,766 --> 00:21:11,133
to celebrate that ceiling.

533
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,300
Heath:
It's just what we're hoping for.

534
00:21:12,366 --> 00:21:14,133
It really shows
how beautiful that is.

535
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,800
Kevin: So you think
enough light from that

536
00:21:15,866 --> 00:21:17,566
just to kind of give you
the nice necessary

537
00:21:17,633 --> 00:21:18,700
ambient lighting in here?
Heath: I do.

538
00:21:18,766 --> 00:21:19,800
Especially at night,

539
00:21:19,866 --> 00:21:21,566
just having a nice
indirect soft light,

540
00:21:21,633 --> 00:21:24,500
let you enough to see,
you can get back and forth,

541
00:21:24,566 --> 00:21:26,600
not in your face.
It's very comfortable.

542
00:21:26,666 --> 00:21:28,000
But we still have
a lot more going on.

543
00:21:28,066 --> 00:21:29,966
We have some accent lights
for certain parts of the wall,

544
00:21:30,033 --> 00:21:32,666
floor lamps, sconces,
a few other hanging pendants.

545
00:21:32,733 --> 00:21:34,100
So I think this is gonna be
more than enough light

546
00:21:34,166 --> 00:21:35,166
when all is said and done.

547
00:21:35,233 --> 00:21:36,733
Kevin:
Tough room. You're killing it.

548
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:37,800
Heath: Thanks. Yeah,
we're really getting there.

549
00:21:37,866 --> 00:21:39,066
What do you guys think?
You like?

550
00:21:39,133 --> 00:21:42,133
Jenn: Looks so beautiful.
Lit up with the wood.

551
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,533
Mauro: Amazing.

552
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,566
Tom: It brings the ceiling
to life. I absolutely love it.

553
00:21:45,633 --> 00:21:47,300
Kevin: Yeah, and it brings us
that much closer

554
00:21:47,366 --> 00:21:49,566
to wrapping up this project,
which is coming next time.

555
00:21:49,633 --> 00:21:51,200
So, still some work
to be done, though.

556
00:21:51,266 --> 00:21:53,833
Mauro: Absolutely.
It all comes down to colors,

557
00:21:53,900 --> 00:21:56,433
and I still have
a lot more painting to do.

558
00:21:56,500 --> 00:21:58,100
Jenn: And there's a bit more
hardscape to do

559
00:21:58,166 --> 00:22:00,333
and some plantings,
and we're almost there.

560
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:01,700
Tom: Yeah, and I like
a project like this.

561
00:22:01,766 --> 00:22:03,500
For me, it brings back
a lot of old memories.

562
00:22:03,566 --> 00:22:05,533
I grew up in an old house,
working on these things,

563
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,433
but I love it when homeowners
take these old houses

564
00:22:08,500 --> 00:22:10,400
and they do it justice,
and they repurpose

565
00:22:10,466 --> 00:22:12,466
and reused
as much material as they can.

566
00:22:12,533 --> 00:22:15,200
I just -- I think it's great.
Kevin: Well, they did.

567
00:22:15,266 --> 00:22:16,400
Heath: And we've just got
a few more small things,

568
00:22:16,466 --> 00:22:18,100
some wall plates,
a few more light fixtures,

569
00:22:18,166 --> 00:22:19,300
couple of finishing touches,

570
00:22:19,366 --> 00:22:20,666
and I think we'll be
in great shape.

571
00:22:20,733 --> 00:22:22,366
Kevin: All right. Great shape
and wrapping it up.

572
00:22:22,433 --> 00:22:23,666
And that's all coming up
next week.

Next time on "This Old House"...

A little over a year ago,

we came to this quaint
New England town.

584

Just down the road from here
was a little tired old

585

1720 gambrel home.
