Okay thanks David securing this area here -- stops floating around on the crane operator. Yeah it's amazing though that the structural panel system -- They get all the way that you mean -- engineers does it puts up like that we'll I don't believe that that's the race I really -- a believer in this Brandon and stuff.

Why isn't that we need the full span open like this."

" Well at the cathedral ceiling in the master bedroom right and in this bedroom they want to handle a wide open feeling because it's -- It's a 1200 square foot home has a big house -- and it's going to make a big difference in terms of keeping the volume open. They have and 58 midterm. -- realize they're making of this glue them being right and this -- about 850 pounds. You really can't get a Urbina go across journal Grotrian they're using two by six's laminated together exactly -- the only way to get the strength about it. Well what's this is security will be able to start putting the roof panel in place and I believe -- thickness that that the next -- next thing."

" Now before we -- the house with the roof panels of the crane makes everybody's job easier by lifting all the sheet rock for the second floor into the house. Meanwhile the crew on the second floors just about ready to start lifting the roof happens."

" Yeah can you over here on this ladder. All right pick up the first of the roof panels Sonoma. Now the sidewall panels if you know are sixteen insulation factor right to veto but the roof the roof is thicker and it's it's gonna give us an operating. And it's a very efficient. -- continues there's no interruption from studs only -- decides not to interruptions from like a lot outlets and that thing yeah it's interesting there's no rafters here dollars I didn't used to not having wrapped affluent. I'm on the house night. Crane operator has to -- just a little bit more yet. I'm exactly located you know one of the big advantages of of this oriented strand board. Material that's used for the sandwich. Is that it's using trees that otherwise don't get used in the lumber industry right. That's what I'm fine and pretty interesting. Lot Aspin created some very Nast a little bit of time. Square what lies you're actually getting mafia money with this here and you guys do what would be how sustainable our -- using our resources you. You you get along with this and you do it stick. Right it's nothing like -- it just isn't as strong enough would ordinarily it because it's shaped. And then the technology orient so these strands in the right direction and lose them. That's where the strength comes from. Is going to be the hottest because after everything in place right in the rest -- Smoothly. Hardly be fastened down they're going to win this reverse everything that Neely and designed this to get it in place and then once they've got a what they really want it. They'll throw it in what goes -- screws -- the top and bottom. -- that we're going into place just nine more panels to go will be closed it. Cut."

Dip each plug in carpenter's glue, and tap it into place over the nail or screw. Let the glue dry, then shear the plug off with a wood chisel. Sand the suface smooth and apply your finish.

The Dominy Workshop at Winterthur Garden

Bob takes us on the first of many visits to the Winterthur Garden and Museum in Delaware's Brandywine Valley. Winterthur was the vision of Henry Francis DuPont, who researched and collected antiques and housed them here. Greg Landry, Director of Conservation for Winterthur, takes Bob to the Dominy Workshop, which once belonged to a family of carpenters and clock makers on Long Island. The workshop-turned-museum houses a multitude of Colonial-era tools, many of which are still in use today. Bob takes a turn on the great wheel lathe, which was used to mill large items like table tops as well as other decorative items. Landry also shows Bob some hand tools, including antique saws, planes, and drills.

Replicating Old Bay Window Moldings and Replacing Them
Replicating Old Bay Window Moldings and Replacing Them

Bob explains that the house being remodeled was built in 1921 and has never had a real facelift on the exterior. As a consequence, the home's trim, porch ceiling, decking, and windows were all in need of repair. Bob points out the oriel window's exterior frame that has allowed cold air into the home. To fix this problem, local carpenters were called in to tear it apart, insulate, and restructure it. Forester Molding & Lumber was then brought in to replace the 85-year-old trim. Bill Hopkins from Forester Molding & Lumber reviews how old house moldings cannot be found in lumberyards and must be replicated. Hopkins uses a needle gauge to trace the profile of the trim. The needle gauge is then placed on a piece of graph paper and traced. The profile is then used to search for available matches in the Forester catalog. If there is no match, the trim is scanned into the computer and a specialized knife is cut. The knife is then used in the machine to rip the molding.
