In this episode of Today's Homeowner with Danny Lipford season 2, Danny Lipford heads to Pennsylvania to help renovate a beautiful turn of the century home. The episode is titled Turn of the Century Pennsylvania Home - Part 1, indicating that it is the first part of a two-part series focused on the renovation of this historic home.
The episode begins with Danny introducing the homeowners and giving a brief overview of the project. The homeowners purchased the home from a family that had owned it for several generations, and they have big plans for the renovation. Danny notes that the home has great potential, but there are also some challenges due to its age and condition.
The first step in the renovation process is to address some of the structural issues with the home. Danny brings in a contractor to assess the foundation and make any necessary repairs. He also discusses the possibility of adding support beams to the attic to help distribute the weight of the roof more evenly.
Next, Danny meets with the electrician to discuss updating the electrical system in the home. As with many older homes, the wiring is outdated and not up to code. The electrician explains that they will need to upgrade the electrical panel and rewire the entire house. Danny notes that this is a big job, but it is necessary to ensure the safety of the homeowners and their family.
The episode also includes a segment on the installation of a new HVAC system. Danny explains that the old system was inefficient and not suited for the size of the home. The new system will include multiple zones, allowing the homeowners to control the temperature in different areas of the house independently.
Throughout the episode, Danny meets with various experts and contractors to discuss different aspects of the renovation process. He also spends time exploring the different rooms and features of the home, pointing out areas that will need special attention during the renovation.
Overall, Turn of the Century Pennsylvania Home - Part 1 provides an in-depth look at the process of renovating an older home.
