This Old House: Dorchester #5 (1Mar1979) Leveled Ceilings & Kitchen Lighting

Bob shares a circa-1922 to 1938 photo of the house's front exterior sent in by a former resident. It shows that several elements considered original were added on later, including a triple window and bathroom window. Inside, John explains why a plumbing waystack won't fit inside living room walls, as planned. Bob shows how an additional coat closet will hide the pipe and provide storage space for guests. Then, Bob demonstrates how the crew will level uneven framing before installing new ceilings.
Bob walks through the layout of kitchen elements, lighting, and wiring. Then, he heads outside to help Norm and Greg replace an old bulkhead doorframe with a new waterproof, steel frame. Bob answers questions from reader mail.
