    With seven different levels, midcentury modern homes have no shortage of stairs. Kevin finds Tom figuring out how many risers are needed for stairs going from the new living room to a loft. In the basement, demo has exposed the old concrete foundation walls on the ground floor. Kevin finds Tom starting to insulate those walls. He uses a light weight foam system with studs and channels for electric wires built into foam. Our homeowners are big fans of radiant heat. There are several varieties of radiant going into our project. Richard and Kevin Bilo install a radiant system under a wood floor in the new loft. In the kitchen, the stove is against a huge bank of windows, so Tom explains the plan for getting the exhaust gasses out the building. To celebrate our 10th season on air, Norm and Richard spent months working on a project in Santa Fe, New Mexico. 30 years later, they’re heading back to see how everything has held up.

      My da (allegedly) got to meet him at a carpentry event back in the 90s, while New Yankee was still in its infancy. He kept a chunk of mahogany Norm had as a cutoff, and eventually used it in a handle for a butcher's knife he made.
      Norm's been a bit of a hero for our family. We didn't have Saturday Morning cartoons, we had Saturday Morning Yankee Workshops.

    I am surprised they did not specify an 8" by 8" steel columns in a couple places for the various utility stacks. Just run one of those composite pipe liners down them to keep the water, electric and air from corroding the new "chase" that happens to be structural as well.

  • @dawnc5797
    @dawnc5797 Před 3 lety +3

    This house must have tested the patience of Tom & Company. All of the ticky tacky stuff you deal with on a normal jobsite is amplified by the layout of the house, the additions, the three different radiant floor systems used, no walls/corners being square, a ridiculous number of stairs, the homeowners wanting walls of glass that made plumbing and electrical more difficult, etc. I thought it would be an interesting project but all of the busyness takes away from anything interesting about it.

    • @dawnc5797

    • @KevinFields777

      No, they're hanging it from the plastic studs inside the foam, which is cemented to the concrete. They can hold several hundred pounds of weight. Go back to Season 39 where they built the entire basement and foundation out of concrete surrounded by styrofoam with plastic studs.

      I like mid-century moderns, especially when a remodel is a tasteful balancing of house style and homeowner preferences. This project? Doubled the house size with the opposite-pitched roofs while being surrounded by more Classical Victorian or Colonial homes. Power to the doctor homeowners doing what they want with their property, but this project showing a mid-century modern on steroids isn't a great look 😬
