This Old House: Dorchester #10 (30May1979) Exterior Plainning

In the tenth week of construction new clapboards are going up on the house exterior in place of damages ones. Norm installs red cedar boards and explains how to replace split boards. Bob joins Phyllis Anderson, a landscape designer, on a tour of the exterior lot. They determine which existing trees and shrubs can be salvaged and which need to be removed. Phyllis talks about plans to raise a wood fence around the perimeter of the grounds. Inside, new kitchen cabinets are going in. Bob walks us through the layout for the kitchen. He and Norm screw in the top row of cabinets.
The Mayor of Boston, Kevin White, pays a visit to the house. He discussed taxes, crime, and home affordability in the city of Boston.
