" You've got plans to show us so let's start get started with the first floor here now what are all these colors. Well the colors with three colors here green indicates those elements and you move to demolish. Black it's what's existing OK and new construction we've shown in red room that was go back to -- To the front of the house here -- I just came in through the front door and and see a lot of action happening out here what's the point of this. The greens which is is sixteen steps gonna take out and replace laden himself front stairs that are tucked in underneath. The porch in the -- to keep the rain snow and ice -- okay. I think that's a good idea in new England -- all the snow that we get out here now. We're in the dining room right next to this area and they're basically are no changes to this room except what what this little -- here. Well originally this from had a -- pocket doors and -- opening game. Which was removed how to during the seventies restoration we want to put that back not the pocket doors or at least the case opening and a lot and it. Right with a center align this window which is where was originally because the house does have an axis like in this direction and in this direction it's growing so that you want to line things up to theatrically. I like that thinking what what's this. Well they racial -- of the house is here delusional fine prints and that was moved here now we have in new front entry which we need to really set off from the main stair hall we're going to add two pairs of columns here with a flattened. And arch above when he used the same columns that are out here only slightly smaller so you come and see these awakenings being reminded of those columns out there. And that will set off this entryway from the main stair hall interest I liked that idea OK so you still have your front vestibule and closet you walked into the stair hall you go to them. Right under the -- dining room living room. What are you doing here you switching -- the swing of that door. Yes we are historic past links from this side we want to strengthen here because."

" We're going to put in -- pantry and a sink. Which could be used on occasion. Found this wrong and swing the door you don't want to have it sink behind the door so we're recreating a wall of butler's pantry storage here and then functional areas here which which even as went -- under counter ridge there at a conference here yeah and then this is a service closet for. Brooms and mops and vacuum cleaners and then the kitchen will be basically. -- so that it can be redone. Explain to us we've got obviously there's an island with a sink in right. That's an existing kitchen and all cavity was pushed up against the walls we want to take that out move flee the island since ninety degrees to the fund wall and it went behind the behind the sound of the another powder with a cooktop and it. And then we zone the kitchen in the four areas -- of cooking area here pantry here which is spread. Much like the kitchen was originally yes reminiscent of nineteenth century Canada would certainly sink refrigeration. Unit and we got what cabinets here and the other new rear entrance -- comment. On the rear of the house you right where you can put your groceries down and put things in the refrigerator and you got a Coke a lot of fire here. Pantry shelves here and this is the home office is the home office so. That's what got this whole wall to the south so now we have a lot of light according to this -- that's great and the fourth -- of course is the eating zone over here that's right yeah."

" To the the first thing you do is to score the paint. That's right yes this stuff if we don't there's -- we're trying to have to -- to split the wood we're trying to save as much as we can't yeah. And you know typically when you're going after. Moldings and and removing pieces of wood like this you want to use. A flat bar or a very very sharp. Tools such as. A chisel he's got a cold chisel that's not really going to hurt for cabinet making is not a tonight candidates -- just for this purpose than I'd like -- blunt. Than an old putty knife. Recent steps which is different actions base or off of about keeping but he neck behind it pry bar you won't and -- marks into the other would deter crime against. And -- And you missed without this is shining path but I'd just like the other one I -- Iraq. -- wait a minute wait a minute. Or like that that goes back further than what this opening its business confusing now that's not something from the center. That's fifty -- this is a four foot door. That's been closed down at one point to this side right which would indicate that at one point the opening here was a four foot opening right."
