" That was a gas fired stove Joe Murphy's here from New England hearth and patio and Joe how does this work I mean this is sealed on the front so. Where's the cold air for combustion coming -- to recommend human direct vent to. This unit takes its outside air from here for combustion inside air comes out of here we have a flue situation with a little different. Things in transition piece and -- They would run 23 inch lines for a balanced flue on -- And take outgoing I see okay so album. This just needs to be cemented in place the two ducts that are already coming down you'll look. Howard Brickman is back. To refinish the antique floor that marries into the the floor that the reclaimed floor that you installed earlier. Now that is a very impressive and beautiful drum Sanders tells -- about power. This is about machine from sweetness or rose ten inch. Sanding machine that's for the majority of the floor -- it's. Well lots of us who are home and rumors have rented drum Sanders report are used to the mask and the whole thing in the mess everywhere this is not making any mess no it isn't if you keep the bag entered properly there's virtually no -- airborne dust in here OK is there any science to how you pass this I noticed that you immediately had this down tonight smooth finish but it seems like this part over here was maybe taking a -- Now let's say it's a matter how flat the floor is and it cuts the high spots first and then in the low spots and basically this first pass is designed. To take the finished -- its surface nice and flat you can see in the older floor it has some uneven places that require little treatment. OK let's let you won't take a few more passes at it so we just watch. Now Howard this is the machine that you use with the long runs right. That's what you're doing a floor like this where you've got these perpendicular joints. We're what floor changes -- with a grain coming this way meets the grain going that we use imagine that has a circular motion that'll blend the two together oh is that this one in this in this machine over here here again -- state of the art. It it has the don't parole. Abrasive on it pretty quick change. And what about dust collection that's collection system is integral. Hand. It's contained in this vacuum cleaner as well. So it this vacuum cleaner is the heart of the system. And everything that you're kicking up with this little Edger goes straight into. The pro sand over here that's correct this has traditionally been the dusty part of the -- reparation. Is using these machines because the circular motion throws the dust out but the shroud is designed to maintain the dust returned today including Enron. With -- There's no -- Virtually notes. Actually no dust that's amazing now let's talk about the type of finish as we're gonna put on here we're going to be using a water based finish which is manufactured by -- bona Kevin this is their bona tech system this is there. -- sealer and their finish. It's a coat of sealer and two coats of finish. And it provides an abrasion resistant. Water resistant. And it from the floor next heart."
