Preserving history through the careful salvage and protection of a Concord home
In short: In Concord, Massachusetts, a historic renovation begins with a delicate balance of demolition and preservation. This episode follows the essential first steps of saving architectural details and protecting local ecology before major construction starts.
The process begins by salvaging building materials, appliances, and radiators from the property to prevent waste before demolition. Beyond the structure, the team addresses environmental preservation by having an arborist treat the site's old Hemlock trees to protect them from the Wooly Adelgid insect. The episode also covers the removal of a garage addition as the crew prepares for a larger renovation.
