Kevin is at the back of the second Charleston project house in the Elliotborough neighborhood, looking at the framing progress. Then he finds Richard inside by the front entrance.
Today the plumber, Mike Dolinger, and Richard work on solving the problem of plumbing a 19th-century building.
It's design time for Judith and Julia as they figure out how their kitchen should look. Kevin finds them in a Charleston kitchen center starting the process with design consultant Niki Komorek.
The two-story porch at the front of the house has seen better days. General contractor Lindsey Nevin and his team tackle the structure to see what is still good and what needs to be replaced.
On the second floor of the old kitchen in the Single House project, Kevin finds carpenter Ismael Medina restoring and laying the original heart pine flooring.
Charleston is a city of beautiful iron gates, and the owners of the Single House want to upgrade theirs. Tommy visits the American College of the Building Arts where the ironwork class is involved in creating a gate for the project.
Newly exposed brick walls bring challenges for electricity. Tommy catches up with builder Mark to determine how he'll snake wires when there's nowhere to hide them.

I've been watching these guys off & on for like 40 years & just get a KICK out of seeing other guys do stuff. I STILL like to learn.

Considering all the terms Tommy knows for stuff like windows, drawers, framing, ect it's kinda neat to see him learn some ones he's never heard of.

So let me get this straight. Historical district have a say on how you remodel your house but they will let an unoccupied house rot to the ground?

[@robertgroover3316]

Exactly. There is a lot of restrictions on renovating houses in historic districts thats it's expensive and a headache to do.

[@shelbysmalls5867]

@@robertgroover3316 yes but generally people want to live there so the value of that house is probably going to skyrocket and be equal or well above what they spent remodeling it

[@aaronhuffman4852]

It’s important! It’s like house rewiring! You have know how homes are built to make the rewire go as smooth as possible so it’s less damage and patching.

[@MandoFettOG]

Such a cliffhanger waiting to see how they deal with the plumbing

[@MrEazyE357]

I don't even want to think about how much that ironwork costs. Talk about a whole lot of work. I can't even imagine.

[@rupe53]

that_G_EvanP ... Right.... big bucks if you had that custom made commercially. Going to a trade school takes longer but they typically do this for material cost, and maybe a donation to a scholarship fund. BTW, many trade schools offer services, including something as simple as a new roof. OTOH, there's usually a waiting list so sign up early.

[@SaltySparrow]

Wow - I can not imagine how much gutting a house like that would cost. Its great that the skeleton will be preserved.

[@rupe53]

danekarl ... my home was built in 1910 and I did similar myself, although in my case I gutted one room at a time, hired the kid next door for grunt work, then rented a small dumpster as needed. 9 rooms took about 9 years of spare time and hardly changed the exterior look at all.

[@StoneE4]

[@markofsaltburn]

Richard Trethewey said elsewhere that there’s a manual skills deficit in the US equivalent to 6m jobs. Would the US be suffering from an opioid crisis and rust belt radicalisation if something was done about this? Is there any work more meaningful than home-building?

[@sirrebral]

The "kids these days" stereotypical complaint is overstated; one can't deny the impact that "KZbin University" has had in recent years to create an environment where people are more likely to try and fix/renovate all sorts of things. I see many examples of young people shopping at second hand thrift stores, and touting the benefits of "reduce, reuse, and recycle" as a way to address their generation's concerns about pollution and global warming.

[@rupe53]

@@sirrebral ... yes, but all of those thrift items are made of plastic these days.

[@rupe53]

@@markofsaltburn ... have to wonder about filling the void in the trades and if that might affect the "imported labor" market? Have you been to a job site in the last 10 years? Lots of people who don't speak English, which is not a big problem unless you try to give specific instructions. Many of these same guys look like they they bought all of their tools at a garage sale and haven't got a clue as to why they need a heavy power cord. Yeah, they are willing to work, but most are just doing exactly what the guy next to them is doing, right or wrong. OTOH, at least they are not wearing robes and sandals like in certain other countries.

[@wmeemw994]

Kevin, at start you referred to “Elliott Boro Park house” in Charleston as an 189os built house with the stacked front porches with separate cooking kitchen down 3-5 steps from house structure ??? If it is and was built 189os, even 188os or 187os, but not to be politically correct or picayune,should you have referred to separate, attached cooking structure as a “slave’s kitchen”? Should you not refer to it as a cooking kitchen? Certainly not as a slave’s kitchen or even as a servant’s kitchen - especially as it was never in a then state of slavery or employed any persons then held in a station of slavery, regardless of employment terms. I think it was merely a slip of your tongue, not a slip of your mind and these ladies deserve credit for seeming to not be insulted, so good on them.

[@nscaledelights]

We dont need a decision today but........................

[@GhostReaper2043]

I can care less if it's in a historical area. Those two houses should have been a teardown. The amount of money your spending to fix them up you can probably spend less money on a new build.

[@johnenright4969]

GhostReaper2043 ya two more cookie cutters with a life expectancy of 30 years lets go that route

[@rupe53]

GhostReaper2043 ... the other problem with new construction is new standards, both in building and zoning. Tear it down and all of a sudden you have a 25 ft side setback. Oh, the house can only be 2 ft wide now? Ok, that's an exaggeration but you can see where this is going.

This is part of the renovation process, Marty. You see the smoking causes the wood fibres to have that classic Carolina smell and flavour to it bringing the homeowners back to a simpler time, when you can do whatever you wanted without the government intruding.
