This Old House

S25E06 Adding to the Project - The Concord Cottage

Fresh from a jog at the expansive Emerson Field, Kevin arrives at the project house. Janet requests Tom to move the porch stairs of the main house, as they seem overly dominant and too close to the planned parking area. Tom proposes several alternatives but recommends that Janet consult Holly before making any decisions. Meanwhile, Roger introduces Kevin to a century-old Concord grape vine located in the work area. Instead of relocating it, Roger decides to protect it and propagate it in its current spot. Later, Norm teaches Kevin how to properly set two-by-six pressure-treated sills on the new foundation using sill seal foam insulation and fasteners. In Lincoln, Massachusetts, Kevin meets park ranger Lou Sideris to explore Minuteman National Historical Park and the Hartwell Tavern, a historic structure from 1733.
