French Doors Arrive

Bob meets up with Ray Adams from Pella to look at the new Pella French doors that Charlie will be installing in the library. The door is from the Architect's Series. It's a simulated divided light door. The glass is Pella's Insulshield glass, an argon filled glass with a low-E coating. It's one large piece of glass with extruded aluminum on the outside for the muntin bars and all wood on the inside. This makes it more energy-efficient than a true divided light door. It's an active/inactive door - the active door has all the hardware in it. It comes all bored out. You can lock the inactive side, but if you wish, you can open both doors up to create a nice opening.

" Joining us now is ray Adams who's the installation manager here at the Boston branch of up. Fella and what a beautiful set of French doors TI here. Thanks Bob. This is the architect series dwarfed it's a simulated. Divided -- the war as you can tell it's our one of our. Six hour special window escaping -- now -- vitality that we have to pick up as the top track exactly yeah. This just pulls off some staples and whatnot codes and political architect series -- So ray what are some of the features of this door. Well this is a gives Arctic series door. It's a simulated divided light toward the glass is our Insulshield glass that's an argon filled glass slowly coating. There was simulate so it's one big piece of glass exactly and they attach. The muntin bars on the outside and on the inside Iraq to an extruded aluminum on the outside -- wires. And on the inside it's an all wood frankly yeah I think that's better than having the divided I let the evidence you have one fail -- the old door -- And the big deal would -- energy it's more energy efficient as a panel that way itself too rather than divide you know a lot of so it's one of our callers blog or special colors is black yeah bill hazard capabilities of doing a lot of custom coloring in this stuff project we chose blackness is the hardware with yet there's no hardware this is an inactive active door. With -- so which one is the active the one who's got the hardware correct. -- the active side with volatile bored out already and this is the inactive side. What's nice about this tour is that you can actually lock this side he can make that your passage side through. But if you do want to open up both sides deacons opened the doors out. And that creates a nice opening as anyway you open into it yes now. It's realize I'd like like about it is that they have these things so yes -- a little bit easier to transport it around the job absolutely."

Reviewing the Architect's Home Plans

Bob studies the architect's plans to get a better feel for what the house will look like when it's finished. The side entrance to the home will have a covered porch, and there will be a double garage in the back with a big gable. Front and back gabled ends are critical design elements defining this as an old style farmhouse. Also distinctive are the many windows enabling the homeowners to take advantage of the spectacular view.

The Architect's Design for the Warehouse Rehab

In the recent past many of New York's historical landmarks have had facelifts to keep them both structurally and aesthetically sound as well as true to their roots. One of the architectural firms behind several of these projects, the New York and Washington, D.C.-based Beyer, Blinder, Belle Architects & Planners, has joined the Home Again crew to lend their expertise in the architectural restoration. Bob meets with Jack Beyer in front of the old Pepper Mill to get up to speed on the exterior design plans for the rehab project. Beyer discusses some of the pitfalls with landmark buildings, including the multiple overlapping regulatory agencies which approve changes to a buildings structure, mechanics, and style. Bob discovers that the building is being converted for at least the second time. It was originally a three-floor residential building, but was later converted to commercial use. Beyer observes that while the building is in need of extensive repair it is structurally sound and stable. HE shows Bob sketches of the proposed renovations, which include two entrances, commercial space on the ground floor with a show window, and a possible added story set back from the fa�ade. Beyer is cautiously optimistic that the addition will gain Landmarks' approval since the building is a contributing landmark, not a specially designated landmark.

Architectural Design of the Connection Between the Home and the Barn

Walking behind the house, Bob makes a few observations about the design. He points out that the house and old barn were not exactly parallel to each other creating some issues fo the breezeway addition. Th architect chose to build the breezeway parallel with the barn, but as the roof is right onto the house, when you look at the roof overhang right on the corner of the addition it subtly increases in width in one direction. Another interesting feature of the architect's design is a 4 ft. wide and t10 ft. long "gang plank"-like balcony coming out from the second floor masterbath.

Putting in a Gable Window

While on the third floor of the Medford house Bob looks at the Pella window installation in the gable end. The architect's original plan called for one big glass triangle but this would have involved a great deal of structural reworking, so the plan changed to installing two smaller triangular windows with 2 x 4s retained in the middle maintaining structural stability. In a flashback to the installation, carpenter Matt Alexander removed the exterior wall covering from the area and used a chalk line to mark the opeing for the new windows. next he cut away the sheathing with a reciprocating saw to create the opening, folded out the nailing flange on the custom Pella windows and nailed the flange to the sheathing. The windows are aluminum-clad, with double glazed argon-filled low-E glass.
