This Old House Season 27 Episode 21 Washington, D.C. 03

This Old House season 27 episode 21 takes viewers on a journey to Washington, D.C. for the third time. The team arrives at a historic property built in 1910 that was originally home to a Supreme Court judge. The owners of the property, a couple with two young children, have purchased the property but it is in dire need of repairs and updating.

The team of experts, including general contractor Tom Silva, plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey, and landscape contractor Roger Cook, tour the property to identify the areas in need of restoration. The team starts with the exterior of the home, which is in need of a fresh coat of paint. They also take on the landscaping, which involves removing old shrubs and trees that have overgrown and replanting new ones to bring life back into the yard.

Inside, the team meets with the homeowners to discuss their plans for each room. The first area to tackle is the kitchen, which is outdated and not functional for modern living. The team takes down a wall that separates the kitchen and the dining room to create a more open concept living space. They also upgrade the appliances, install new cabinets, and replace the countertop with a more durable and stylish material.

The next area of focus is the master suite, which is currently split into two bedrooms. The couple wants to combine the two rooms to create a larger master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. The team works to remove the walls, reframe the new space, and install all new fixtures including a new double vanity, shower, and toilet.

The team also tackles the outdated and cramped guest bathroom, which is in desperate need of a refresh. They remove the old tiles and replace them with new ones. They also upgrade the plumbing and install a new shower, toilet, and vanity.

One of the most exciting aspects of this episode is the transformation of the basement. The couple had been using the space as a storage area, but the team sees potential for the space to become a functional living area. They first address the water issues that have caused some damage in the basement and then work to install a moisture barrier before framing the walls. They also installed new electrical, plumbing, and lighting systems to provide a comfortable living space for the family.

Throughout the episode, viewers get to learn about different types of home improvement projects, including how to install a new shower fixture, how to properly insulate a basement, and the importance of upgrading electrical systems in older homes. As always, the team of experts works diligently to bring the homeowner's vision for their property to life.
