The Savannah House - 4 (S17E22)

S17E22

The episode begins at an architectural salvage shop located in downtown Savannah, where the owner visits a construction site to purchase reclaimed plumbing fixtures and wooden elements. As they tear up the strip oak flooring, they uncover pristine heart pine underneath, ready for refinishing. They also apply a new spray-on cellulose insulation, which fits perfectly in the uneven and narrow gaps against the building's masonry walls. The exterior of the new addition is finished with medium-density overlay board, making it suitable for painted surfaces. Additionally, author John Berendt leads us on a tour of the Savannah featured in his acclaimed book, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
