Norm wrestles with creative details. The stucco system starts on the addition. Kevin sees California modern architecture. Norm shows a formaldehyde-free batt insulation. Kevin meets a tile specialist.

Master carpenter Norm Abram arrives to find site supervisor Angel Leon wrestling with the latest challenge of the project: replicating the arch details from the front living room in various openings in the house. Outside, stucco specialist Alfonso Garcia shows Norm how the stucco system starts on the new addition with the scratch coat, and then the brown coat. The top two layers will be placed once the base is dry. On the other side of the lake, host Kevin OConnor meets resident director Sarah Lorenzen to see architect Richard Neutras VDL Studio and learn why the house and the architect are so important to the neighborhood and to California modern architecture. Back at the house, insulation contractor Pat McKinley shows Norm the batt insulation hes using in the basement—its a dusty-colored fiberglass batt made with 30-percent post-consumer recycled bottle glass and formaldehyde-free binders. Project designer Shelby Roberts takes Kevin to a South Pasadena tile showroom to meet tile specialist Tisa Adamson and see the reproduction tile thats being selected for the project. To cut down on costs, they choose a combination of hand-made and factory-made tile. Back at the house, wallboard goes up around the main arch leading from the kitchen to the new family room.

In this video, landscape contractor Jenn Nawada teaches host Kevin O’Connor about common household plant myths.
SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse.
While household plants certainly have their benefits, some of their “superpowers” have been overstated over time. Studies that show a plant’s compounds may create a specific effect are often true, but require much higher concentrations than exist in the average home.

Landscape designer Melanie Williams evaluates the existing yard, and then takes Kevin to a recent job in Windsor Square to show him that low-water plants can also be attractive. At the end of the day, tile contractor Carlos Sandoval installs the California-made terra cotta tile on the back terrace.
