Ep 11. Rundown 1710 Root Cellar

Stone House Revival is a popular HGTV series hosted by Jeff Devlin that brings old, historic stone houses back to their former glory with exceptional renovations. In season 1 episode 11, titled "Rundown 1710 Root Cellar," Jeff Devlin and his team take on the challenge of renovating the rundown root cellar of a 1710s stone house in Pennsylvania.

The episode begins with Jeff Devlin meeting with the homeowners to discuss their vision for the root cellar. The homeowners want to use the space for storage, and they also want it to be aesthetically pleasing. Jeff agrees to help them achieve their goals by transforming the space into a functional and beautiful storage area.

Jeff and his team start by removing debris and dirt from the root cellar. The team discovers that the root cellar has a unique history. It was originally used to store dry goods and produce, and it has original hand-hewn beams. However, the root cellar is in disrepair, and it needs major renovations.

Before the renovation begins, Jeff sits down with the homeowners to discuss the design plan. They decide to keep the original beams but add shelving for storage. Jeff also plans to add lighting and a door to the root cellar to make it more accessible. The homeowners are excited about the plans and can't wait to see the finished product.

The renovation process begins with the team repairing the original hand-hewn beams. They reinforce the beams with steel plates to make them stronger.

Next, Jeff and his team start installing shelving. They use reclaimed wood to create shelving that matches the age and style of the stone house. Jeff even creates a custom shelving unit for the homeowner's wine collection.

The team also installs lighting in the root cellar. Jeff knows that good lighting is essential in a basement space, so he makes sure to add ample lighting that makes the space feel warm and inviting.

To finish the renovation, Jeff and his team install a door so that the homeowners can easily access their storage space. The door fits seamlessly into the stone walls and adds a modern touch to the historic home.

Once the renovation is complete, Jeff invites the homeowners into the root cellar to see the finished product. The homeowners are thrilled with the results and can't believe how much the space has transformed. They now have a functional and beautiful storage area that matches the aesthetic of their 1710s stone home.

Stone House Revival season 1 episode 11, "Rundown 1710 Root Cellar," is a prime example of Jeff Devlin's expertise in historic renovations. With his attention to detail and respect for the history of the home, Jeff transforms a rundown root cellar into a functional and beautiful storage space that adds value to the historic home.
