    Around the corner from the front porch is a problem our homeowners hope to eliminate. The fireplace in the living room was tucked away in a small alcove next to the front door, and there was no way to enjoy it. Kevin finds Mark McCullough and his apprentice, Krysten Poulin, taking the chimney down brick by brick.
    Kevin returns to the front porch to check on progress. Tommy and the apprentices have finished the framing and will move on to the stairs.
    Kevin travels to meet the homeowners and their interior designer, then watches as they use computer software to drag and drop patterns and color to design the tile floors in the mudroom and powder room.
    Back at the house, Joe wants a wood-burning stove in the family room just like the one he had as a kid. Today he's pitching in to help install the pipe. Kevin finds Joe and chimney expert Jonathan Hawkins on the second floor snaking the flue up through the roof.

    I was a pipefitter/welder apprentice in 2000 for five yrs and I have to say Tom’s cool, calm and assertive teaching style is in direct opposition to the unstable, deranged and unhinged teaching style I suffered through from some of the mechanics I worked with.
    I made a pact with myself never to treat apprentices how I was treated during my tutelage/suffrage.

    • @augustreil
      @augustreil 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      That whole system of the way they went through the roof looked half-a&&ed to me. Those collars need to be set in silicone, not just spread around the outside and that's just one thing that's wrong. The first collar at 21:58 was all folded into the roof hole. Just looked wrong, JMO.

    • @dominicc.3864
      @dominicc.3864 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The storm collar that went inside the roof is part of the attic insulation shield. That way blown in, or other insulation, will not get around the pipe. The pipe must maintain a 2" minimum air space for clearance to combustibles. As a professional installer for 20+ years, I assure you that everything I could see was done by the book. I didn't catch anything that looked incorrect. That said, silicone on storm collars are a common failure point and will need regular maintenance. But that is how it was designed, the installer did it correctly. Personally I'm a bigger fan of NPC terpolymer sealants, but that JMO.

      I think particularly on this project the budget is tight so a lot of the work falls to Kevin and the apprentices rather than Tom having to have more of his highly skilled and so highly paid labourers on site. Plus of course the homeowners are paying what Tommy called the "sweat tax" by working hard on the job themselves. It's a real back to basics project, nothing fancy.

      Mark Heslep 2x4 was a spacer to get past the rock, I believe. Kind of a weak assembly, but the porch is small.

      mrpiccolo23 mrpiccolo23 I’m sure an engineer would have a better idea than me. My concern on a larger porch would be the construction screws being relied on to provide all the pull-out resistance while that 2x8 is mounted so that it becomes a lever when the joists press against the bottom. The screws are very unlikely to fail in my opinion, but the 130y/o wood that’s already had some rot issues, how resistant is it to screws being worked out over time? Honestly a second set of piers up next to the house are the only thing I could think of to fix that. But again, it’s a small porch, so it will probably be fine.
