" Victorious started out what's all this equipment here for won't stuff would just turn on the negative air filtration system. The purpose of this machine is taping here from the inside environment there were like guys are working drug to a giant filters in exhaust cleaner to the outside environment. There's always filters so no noxious fumes are actually being thrown out doors know that we get fumes and also won't be any any particles running. And he doesn't remove it from inside -- OK and then what about the vacuum cleaners. This vacuum here has put the exact same filters is inside here this will be used to drawing. And -- that bribery or any dust from inside there. Filtering it. And story inside -- always you're using a palm Sander is such a tool that product of that process would go into the drawing right into that -- exactly. Or -- any debris that hits the ground and dries out yet that will be filtered them stuck to the holes in filters that back okay with the Orangemen. Charges of what that's what you'll see when you walk inside will be taken telephone watches a lot of water in the chemical itself has. Nokia is now one question what do you do with the hazardous waste that caught in there. What will we take these machines back into the environment in the -- there. We'll take all the debris out of the bag to six moment of bags rabbit toys ducts have been up good grade outside. -- put into hasn't. Though it hasn't go to a hazardous waste -- exactly doesn't get to fidelity growth. And so we're in the dining room and we divided the room and half with this polyethylene walls. And all the real work is going over there on the mantelpiece and on the -- let's take a look at."

" OK so what exactly. Is going on here right so you've got all sorts of paper on the on the woodwork. Describe the process -- what did its own for us right now and so we apply it caustic faced ought to the tape surfaces. Going to be taking paper. Covering it sitting in tightly with duct tape to keep any air from getting inside trying out this Wallace C ultimately though the caustic soda is is. Held within this this mixture which almost looks like a joint compound exactly. And why you have to covered up with paper inducted. Can have some dry -- when that dries to this very hot very difficult to work -- How long did you have to leave it on there. While we did a time -- average on this is what we did test touch was found the 24 hours since the perfect in my time. For the talent for the work in them not -- effectively and although that's what I was gonna get active if you leave the chemical on wait too long you can really raises the grain. Ought to be very bad for the what little drizzle takes the moisture rather what else at the south -- with the oils and there really -- We'll what we'll start looking like felt -- yeah. Okay so it that you literally have to slather on pretty thick -- we like to go to a quarter and affix. It degenerates feel generous with a what we've done what was was covered. All the chemical. With paper tape in -- to keep air from getting into it. And now within 24 I was ready to peel away. OK so it tested tested beyond -- for about 24 hour. Yup for the world. -- So this -- layer comes. First. And what do you suppose all the brown. Represents I don't think there was any ground being done there no I think that was a varnish. Virus that was on one point oh it draws the varnish and this -- out as well exactly. Italy right through your thing right to a large. That it. So how many layers of paint you suppose you're coming up there."

" So at least fifteen mile and a very good memory is the result was all good quality paints also. After all the full chemical as rules -- washing it down with a solution. Fill in neutralizing solution which will move all the factual stuff for fear wash it down into wood -- and working vacuum up with a wet vacuum. -- Flynn but this is a very important part of process that you want to stop the caustic action on the woods are actually this isn't done correctly. Within it goes to put his paper thought it would still writing."

" Exactly. So this is really important and it's also important to contain all these chemicals we've got his grip fan in the middle of it and I guess you can start up where that -- what that. And collected all of this starts to add but boy I tell you the payoff is when you look at this -- day -- two after -- thin strips. And we're just doing a little bit of sanding worked good but look at this beautiful detailed mental. That it has really done a very good job with it gorgeous that's poplar wood and it probably was always painted. And the egg and dart along the -- hold a little bit of residue but that's all right."

Running HVAC Ductwork in a New Colonial
Running HVAC Ductwork in a New Colonial

Bob meets with Peter Merianos and the crew from Coastal Heating and Air Conditioning who are fabricating the AC ductwork on site. With the Kenmore air handler already installed in the attic, the crew begins assembling the ductwork using five-foot lengths of pre-crimped sheet-metal ducting as the basic material. The sections snap together and are secured with sheet-metal screws and foil tape. To add a new line off the main trunk, the crew cuts a hole into the the trunk with a special tool. A starting collar from which the new line will extend is then inserted into the hole. The ductwork is insulated using vinyl wrap, which is a one and a half-inch vinyl-coated fiberglass blanket.

Installing a Drop Ceiling to Hide Ductwork
Installing a Drop Ceiling to Hide Ductwork

Bob walks through the Manhattan Brownstone floor-through apartment with project manager Chris Vila, looking first at the ductwork that has been run in the ceiling for the forced air heat. He then joins John McEvoy of Thorough Construction for a look at the drop ceiling installation they will be using to hide the ductwork and mechanicals in the ceiling. This Chicago bar system allows the crew to hang a perfectly level drywall ceiling instead of following the uneven pattern of the existing joists. First an anchor is screwed into the joists. A pencil rod is then fitted into the hole in the anchor and bent to hang from the joist. A lasar level marks the exact position for the kelly clips that will hold the main stays or block irons in place. The Chicago bar is then clipped to the block irons with a spaghetti clip to create a grid for the new drywall. The drywall will be screwed directly into the suspended Chicago bar.

Installation of the HVAC System
Installation of the HVAC System

Bob joins Paul Costello and Lou Mazzini in the old dairy building to discuss the SpacePak high velocity hydro air HVAC system that's being installed in both the house and dairy. The system will provide both heating and cooling. In the winter a boiler delivers hot water to coils over which air is drawn. This heated air rises and is distributed at high velocity through plenum ducts running around the perimeter of the structure and on to room outlets through to 2" diameter sound attenuating tubing. The systems uses insulated fiberglass ducts which are coated on the inside to prevent mold and other growth. The system creates a pressure center in the room with a differential of two degrees between floor and ceiling. Cooling is accomplished by the same system only the air passes over different coils cooled by a refrigerants from 5-ton American Standard condensers situated behind the dairy. Domestic hot water will be provided by a very efficient indirect hot water system. The SpacePak system is particularly well-suited to restoration/renovation projects where space for ductwork is at a premium.

Reviewing the Home's High-Velocity, Mini-Duct HVAC System

Bob looks at the HVAC units in the basement of the Medford home. There are 5 SpacePak units that, with their state-of-the-art foil-wrapped ductwork, deliver conditioned air at high speeds throughout the house. The brand new RBI gas fired boiler provides the BTUs�the hot water�to the five different zones to heat the house and the hot water heater is a new John Wood water heater.
