This Old House (1979)

S16E10 The Acton House - 10

Tom Silva shares his progress on the reroofing project, showcasing the removal of old shingles, installation of plywood sheathing, and laying down new shingles along with a ridge vent. On the ground, the old clapboards have been taken off the front, exposing the cause of the bulging lower left side. Interior demolition uncovers wide feathered paneling behind the living room's plaster. To address the structural issue, part of the wall is rebuilt. Seeking inspiration for exterior paint colors, we explore the historic town of Deerfield, Massachusetts, known for its beautifully preserved 18th and 19th-century homes. Back at the house, landscape contractor Roger Cook sets up a gravel path with steel edging and rice stone.
