This Old House (1979)

Episode Overview

Richard Trethewey introduces a natural gas-powered truck from a gas company and takes us inside to check on the advancements in radiant floor heating. Chris Hagger receives a delivery of concrete for a new porch slab from a truck that mixes small batches on-site. The team then lays the slab over the radiant tubing. Meanwhile, the crew experiments with vintage planes to explore traditional molding techniques, while Tom Silva crafts new eave moldings using a custom knife he designed. To wrap things up, we stop by a lighting showroom to view the kitchen lighting selections made by the homeowners.
