This Old House
S31E10 Newton Centre; Inspired Openings and Insulating the House
General contractor Tom Silva constructs a new staircase leading to the basement to replace the one he removed from the former kitchen. Next, plumbing and heating specialist Richard Trethewey teaches host Kevin O'Connor how to choose a high-quality faucet, covering aspects like functionality, finish, materials, and valve types. Drawing inspiration from an existing arched doorway, Tom demonstrates to Kevin how to create a vaulted ceiling in the hallway that links the front of the house to the back addition. As the day wraps up, insulation expert Tony Trigler arrives to apply spray foam insulation in the new space.
