" Alright. Now, the missing element on our new entryway here---- the front door has arrived. Ryley, it looks so real good."

" Yeah, it does."

" I like the color too. Now we've built this in the workshop just about a week ago. What kind of wood was it?"

" This is the same as the front entry, Bob. It's a Shiplap pine."

" Rough on."

" Right. It's rough on the outside, smooth on the inside."

" It looks real good. Let's visit the workshop. We'll give you an idea how we built it. The 1st thing we were building has a jig, a shape, which will help us lay out the door and keep it square. And we're building the door out of the same material that we've built the entry, right?"

" That's right. Yeah, we had a bunch of [unk]."

" We bake with pine, which Bob had precut to fit quite tightly into."

" Okay."

" And then----"

" Just a little spread in here----"

" There you go."

" to keep the top coming in on us."

" Tight as a jig."

" Okay."

" And then, the next part of it is a window."

" Yeah. we'll double hung the top [unk] a double-hung window."

" Now this you can just buy at a lumberyard for about 25 bucks."

" Right."

" And we have ripped the edges down so that we've got a nice and square window here."

" Okay. Now, sit just like that."

" And then, the 2nd layer of pine will be glued on."

" Right. And this we'll put some glue in here and then we're gonna attach this with some a 1-inch and a 34-inch galvanized drywall screws. Now go there. Put one here."

" There you go."

" Yeah."

" Now whenever you're building something that's gonna be to the weather, galvanized nails or screws are the preferred choice. Okay, the sash can be removed for a while, and this spacer we don't need anymore, but we need a couple of spacers that will prevent this rail from moving while Ryley install all these Shiplap pine pieces for the bottom of the door."

" Okay. Now, what we really wanna do is tie all of these here together, so we'll get plenty of glue, and attach here. That should do it."

" Which will overlap----"

" It will do it."

" Oh, we'll try."

" these pieces overlap the rail and overlaps the Shiplap. We put the sash back in and it's nice and snug. And then Ryley,----"

" That will do."

" you've removed part of the jig down here."

" That's right. Now this is the bottom of the outside part of the door, and I will just sit there, and then we wanna glue that, and we'll put another piece over it."

" Right. So the system is just overlapping."

" Right, you know,---- Okay, let me hug it this up here."

" Go ahead. I'll put this on the line."

" I'm gonna glue the whole thing."

" Okay."

" Okay. Well the glue is gonna make sure that the cross buck really holds all this wood together."

" Alright."

" Now I'm telling you Ryley, hanging this should be a lot of fun."

" Yes, it should be."

" Okay, that's part right there, Mac. Go ahead and nail it. The important thing to keep in mind is if you wanna use the right-sized nail 8 penny nail is all you need. If you use a bigger nail, you might split the wood."

Durable Front Entry Columns for Colonial Home

At the modern Colonial's front entry, Bob takes a look at the columns that support the overhang at the front entry. An alternative to wooden columns, these columns, supplied by Chadsworth's Columns, are made of a proprietary material called PolyStone, a mix of reinforced polyester resin, fiberglass and marble dust. Strong and long lasting, the columns are expected to perform well in the often-harsh New England climate.

Entryway and Dining Room Tour
Entryway and Dining Room Tour

Bob tours the front vestibule, highlighting the beautiful stencil work done by Kim Sweet. The stencil work replaced moldings in many homes of this nineteenth century era. The stencil work is not just on the wall but extends to the ceiling. This small vestibule will take the artist four days to complete using oil based paint. Greg Rochlin meets with Bob to discuss a few architectural pieces that borrow modern technology, combine stock pieces to antiques to create an authentic paneled wall and inlayed flooring. Bob meets with Susanne Csongor and Christine Lane of CLC Interiors to discuss some of the choices made in decorating the dining room and front hall. They used dense busy patterned wallpaper in the small dining room to give it an intimate feel. Combining it with red cotton chintz drapes with goblet pleats to accent the berries in the wallpaper. A Russian rug on the floor in the hallway was the color palette inspiration for this room as well as a blue Greek turnkey pattern for the runner up the stairs.

Tour of the Port Royal Parlor at Winterthur
Tour of the Port Royal Parlor at Winterthur

Bob returns to Winterthur, industrialist Henry Francis du Pont's country estate, which is now a museum, in Delaware's Brandywine Valley. The museum's Port Royal Parlor display was originally part of a country home in Philadelphia slated for demolition in the 1920's. A collector of American antiques and architecture, du Pont bought the entire home and moved it to Winterthur. Pauline Eversmann, Winterthur's program director, joins Bob for a tour and recounts the parlor's history. The entryway opens onto the gardens, and in Colonial times, the doors would remain open to provide a view of the garden before guests proceeded to the parlor. As an area of the home intended for formal entertaining, du Pont wanted this room to be functional, so he expanded the parlor from its original size. Among the period antiques on display is an antique high chest that du Pont purchased for $44,000 in 1929, setting a long-standing price record for early American furniture.

Floorplans and Layout of the Container House
Floorplans and Layout of the Container House

Back on site, Bob joins Ray Price for a look at the ISBU's on their foundations. The total footprint of the house is 58 feet from front to back, or 1,800 square feet in total, with 2 ISBU's on each side. Between them, 7 3/4 inch-wide steel floor joists will run 16 inches on center and be welded on each end to the ISBU's, creating a total steel structure that will then get a plywood subfloor. Price shows Bob the floorplans for this Highland model. It has a front entry that leads to a living room, dining room, and kitchen combination that functions like a great room and family space. A central hallway leads to the back of the house and passes between two bedrooms on the right with a bath between them and two bedrooms on the left, including a master bedroom with its own bath, walk-in closet, and utility room. The single-car garage is built of cement block. The exterior will be finished in stucco like a traditional Florida home, and will match its identical, but smaller, prototype down the block.
