How professionals manage complex installations under strict COVID-19 restrictions

Gutters, Floors, and Doors | Idea House Build Ep 6 | This Old House · 8:01 · Video: This Old House · Watch at the source

In short: This episode follows Matt Cole’s team as they navigate the intricate details of the Cottage on the Cape, balancing efficient carpentry with the logistical challenges of working during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The construction team focuses on several key finishing tasks, including the installation of gutters equipped with clog-preventing accessories and the laying of hardwood floors across the main house's first floor. In the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), carpenters manage the lengthy process of installing nickel gap boards, a task made more complex by the presence of vaulted ceilings and tight corners.

The project also involves detailed interior work, such as installing and trimming upstairs doors using a method designed for both efficiency and precision. Despite the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, the Cape Associates team has successfully maintained the build's momentum.
