Saving Old Barns for New Homes - The Carlisle House (S26E04)
S26E04
Tom arrives with an excavator equipped with a hoe ram to break through the ledge obstructing our new basement. Richard utilizes a 3D model to clarify the components of a septic system and the necessary upgrades for compliance. Beneath the elevated barn, Norm inspects the current rubble stone foundation. Seeking inspiration, Kevin heads to Vermont to connect with Ken Epworth from "The Barn People," an organization dedicated to saving, renovating, and relocating historic timber frame barns. Ken demonstrates the process of dismantling barns in the field and the transformation into beautiful, functional living spaces.
