These ceiling height down to a more. So rescuers to scale the white is raised more than around as the existing level yes IC that's pretty radical element that would feel like. Well we're not justify this face the walls were not building an apartment here. -- So using another technique to define aspects and the way to do that has changed that the perception of thought -- like yeah. Changing the perception -- volume and getting away from a strict kind of grid like geometry. Let's talk about the plan what's this angle well."

" Here well that's a storage units and means that to creative force perspective. So when. We'll run into here right -- eyes focused in this neck okay for you to move into the main space and then."

" What's happening here is beautiful curved flow across. This occurs storage unit that we're probably going to paint some kind of intense color. -- that will be partially made out of plaster and blue board and in the central casework and that -- curve which will be uses extra kitchen story. You're creating a line of traffic front to back and then this is all the kitchen right right. Well -- in the space guys where does this occurrence that's backed down to the little. I'm standing at the steps we're going to be walking into. The bedrooms finish right through here now I imagine Bob Richards I'm eighteen inches higher that's -- now the ceiling is.

And then -- and a bathroom leaf. We've included some more contemporary. Tiles also. Charcoal gray exit continue to look at the concrete floor into the bathroom light sandblasted glass idea. And then the kitchen what are you doing in here that kitchen -- me this long that's what it went also stainless steel open shelving. That's Margaret diner soon but you can unify the whole element it's faced with a cargo wall."

" All through here yes and you mentioned the look of a diner which is I think a terrific idea."

" And then and the seating area here. We're going used to light a wood that's close to the windows in the sun light and this'll -- the living area of the L shaped living area."

" Very exciting and granite in order to build his platform. Eighteen inches it's like building. A stage almost.

Old-Style Shutters for an Older Home
Old-Style Shutters for an Older Home

Steve Nott of Steve Nott and Son Carpentry reviews the steps involved in installing the window shutters. The old shutter has been removed as it had fallen into a state of disrepair and might use lead paint. New shutters from J&L Shutters were used as replacements. The shutters are made from Permex, a synthetic material, and are pre-painted with a ten-year warranty. The shutters also have metal reinforcement through the stiles and historic-style hinges. The hinge section has already been attached to the shutter and the hinge pin is attached to the window casing. The shutter is a working shutter and can be closed to protect windows during a storm. Measurements for the screw holes have already been made. A pilot hole is then drilled into the wood. Pilot holes are important because drilling a screw into the wood without one can weaken the wood. Once the pins are in, the shutter is put into place. The shutter dog is then installed at the bottom to hold the shutter in an open position. First, the shutter dog is put in position and marked on the wall. A hole is then drilled into the stucco using a masonry bit. After the stucco is penetrated, the bit is switched to a standard bit to drill into the sheathing underneath. The use of the old-style hinges retains the historic appeal of the home. These shutters are resistant to rot and will last a long time.

When putting up shutters, the key is to have good, sturdy hardware. Look for pressure treated wood shutters for exterior use. To have operable shutters, the shutter dogs and hinges need to be sturdy (and of high quality). After marking the location for the hinges, drill pilot holes for the screws. Then screw the hinges and other hardware in place. Hang your shutters and test the fit.

Bob Ryley is on hand to help hang some new Withers Industries shutters on the front of the center-entry Colonial. The shutters are made from Southern Yellow Pine, and add an authentic touch to the Colonial fa�ade. The painters have coated them in Charles Green paint from the Bob Vila Signature Line collection. Ryley begins with the pintles that will hold the shutters off and away from the window casing. Bob and Ryley drop the shutters into place on the pintles, then Ryley attaches some new wrought-iron shutter dogs to hold the new shutters in place.
