This Old House (1979)

S24E12 The Winchester House - 12

Landscape contractor Roger Cook and arborist Matt Foti use a 70-inch tree spade on a front-end loader to dig up a healthy blue spruce from a front yard in a nearby town. They replant it in Winchester to start creating backyard privacy. Meanwhile, host Steve Thomas and homeowner Bruce Leasure tour a house with both a high-end basement theater and a simpler first-floor media room to gather ideas. Back on site, plumbing expert Richard Trethewey shows Steve three polyethylene tanks that will store 1,125 gallons of harvested rainwater for garden use. Master carpenter Norm Abram travels to Vermont to visit coppersmith Larry Stearns, who is crafting a custom "This Old House" weathervane.
