Ask This Old House Season 7 Episode 8 Shower Enclosure For Tile; Privacy Screen
- November 20, 2008
In Ask This Old House season 7 episode 8, titled "Shower Enclosure for Tile; Privacy Screen," the team is presented with two requests. The first is from a homeowner who wants to install a shower enclosure in their bathroom. The challenge is that the shower enclosure needs to be custom-fitted to the tile pattern, and the homeowner wants a frameless design. To help with this project, Kevin O'Connor enlists the help of a professional glass fabricator who can cut and install the custom glass panels.
The second request comes from a family who wants to create a privacy screen for their backyard. The family has a large deck that faces their neighbors' homes, and they want to block the view without completely obstructing the natural light. Richard Trethewey comes up with a creative solution by installing a series of cedar slats in a horizontal pattern that not only provides privacy but also adds a decorative element to the deck.
Throughout the episode, the team discusses the various material options for both projects, providing tips and suggestions for homeowners who may be considering similar renovations. They also cover the various tools and techniques needed for both DIY and professional projects.
As always, the Ask This Old House team provides valuable insights and practical advice for homeowners looking to tackle their home improvement projects. Whether you are a seasoned DIYer or a newbie, this episode offers something for everyone.
