#Iron marines no one bites the dust full
Mason Lenny Belliveau shows us his system: veneer brick on the concrete foundation face, a matching full brick for the chimney.
#Iron marines no one bites the dust professional
Back at the house, the crew discusses the fine points of shed dormers, while framing contractor Eric Pierce puts one together in a fast and professional way. We pay a visit to the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy, where firefighters learn hands-on the techniques that save lives and buildings. Homeowner Dick Silva gives a tour of the framed and sheated house and reports that he and Sandra have received a very satisfactory insurance settlement on the structure the settlement on the contents awaits a complete inventory. Finally, framing contractor Eric Machemer and crew raise the last of the first-floor walls and the building begins to climb into the sky. Back on site, architect Chris Dallmus explains some of the strategies he's using to reduce the mass and appearance of the proposed three-car garage. We then visit the Florida factory where the wooden I-beams used in the house's floor are made - 25 miles' worth a day. In the basement, our master carpenter explains how the floor joists meet two steel beams to maximize headroom, while Steve and crew held a metal post in position. Homeowner Dick Silva gives a tour of the newly framed up first floor, and Tom Silva shows some of the hallmarks of a good framing system. Back at the site, the slab is poured, and homeowners Dick and Sandra Silva try to choose a brick veneer for the new foundation. Then Steve takes viewers to a Florida house built by a major insurance company to showcase tips for loss mitigation - everything from sprinklers to kick-proof door jambs. Before the slab is poured, the crew installs an underlayment of 2" styrofoam insulation and a clip-in system for radiant heat - at half the price it was only a few years ago, Richard insists we put the tubing in every slab we pour, even if it isn't used right away. Its continuing efficacy in the ground has been proven for seven years and counting. With the complex, 30-corner foundation walls up, it's time for a proactive termite treatment beneath the slab, using a new class of chemical, that rather than acting as a barrier, allows termites to enter the treated zone unknowingly, upon which they die. Architect Chris Dallmus shows us a model of the house-to-be, a four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath structure whose style Chris describes as "village Victorian," modelled after some houses he found in Billerica's town center.Ī full month after our last time on site, the foundation is just being completed, the construction schedule having fallen victim to a three-week soil cleanup process.
Another team arrives to re-establish the height of the water table, digging a hole by hand, to satisfy the town's building department that the foundation's proposed elevations legal. If tests shows that concentrations are high enough, a mitigation will be required by the state's department of environmental protection. An environmental testing crew arrives to take soil samples, as the fire department suspects fuel oil was spilled on site during the fire.
Arborist Matt Foti and his crew take down two 75-year-old Eastern white pines damaged by the fire and cut them into 2x10 planks on a mobile saw mill. Tom recounts the day the machines came to tear down Dick and Sandra's old house. Architect Chris Dallmus begins to discuss the design of the new structure with homeowners Dick and Sandra Silva, while outside a perc test is run for the new septic system and landscape contractor Roger Cook takes an inventory of the plants that did and did not survive the fire. Public insurance adjuster (and former This Old House homeowner) Dick Benedetti shows us some of the process by which he is writing up the insurance claim for the Silvas. Back at the house, our host meets with the Silvas' insurance agent, who explains the benefits of having a "guaranteed replacement cost" endorsement on one's homeowner's policy - it provides for rebuilding after a complete loss. to hear what it was like to fight the Silva fire, and how it might have been prevented or at least kept more manageable. Finally, we see the basement heating plant which investigators believe may have been the source of the fire. Then Steve meets with Dick and his wife Sandra to discuss their plans for the future, which are to rebuild on the same spot. After Dick Silva talks about the fire, he leads a tour the ruins of the house. Then, it was a burned wreck now, a year later, it is impeccably restored. The 21st season of This Old House kicks off with a visit to Chub Whitten's Colonial home in Ipswitch, Massachusetts. Starting with this season, This Old House and The New Yankee Workshop go online, and was renamed "No.Steve Thomas's eleventh season as the host.Note: Episodes are listed in the original broadcast order Season 21 (1999–2000)
