This Old House (1979)

S24E2 The Winchester House - 2

Steve Thomas checks in with general contractor Tom Silva and painting contractor Jim Clark as they test different methods for stripping nearly 30 layers of lead-based paint from the house’s exterior. Out back, landscape contractor Roger Cook shows homeowner Kim Whittemore how to properly ball and burlap several trees and shrubs, relocating them to safety before construction begins. Looking for a good architect, Steve meets project architect David Stirling, whose firm has worked on about 120 houses in Winchester; they tour a beautiful home he designed from scratch. Later, back at the project house, they meet with homeowner Bruce Leasure to sketch out solutions for the master suite.
