This Old House Season 17 Episode 16 The Salem House - 16
- January 13, 1996
We meet artist Don McKillop, who is painting a portrait of the Guinees' house, while across the street a new brick sidewalk is installed in front of the house. Inside, floor man Jeff Hosking finishes the rough wide pine flooring in the master bathroom, while painter Mike McManus uses a high-volume, low-pressure sprayer to paint the fine woodwork in the guest bedroom. We take a tour of a replica village that recreates Salem's earliest days as a fishing settlement in 1630. In the backyard, a children's playset goes up to the approval of the Guinee boys. Our host reviews with James Shea the completed roof job'fiberglass shingles on the back slope, repaired slate on the front, new copper flashing throughout'with roofer James Shea, and Charlie Silva puts up a hybrid storm window system: single-pane interior units for the historically sensitive front facade windows; high-quality triple-tracks for the rest of the building. Finally, the guys begin to install the newly painted kitchen cabinets.
