This Old House Season 17 Episode 22 The Savannah House - 4

The show opens at an architectural salvage shop in downtown Savannah; the proprietress drops by the jobsite to buy up some of the salvaged plumbing fixtures and woodwork. The strip oak flooring is ripped up to reveal the original heart pine beneath'it's in great shape and can be refinished. A new spray-on cellulose insulation is perfect for the irregular and thin spaces against the exterior masonry walls of the building. The exterior of the new addition is paneled over with medium-density overlay board, ideal for exterior painted surfaces. Finally, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil author John Berendt takes us on a tour of the Savannah portrayed in his best-selling book.
