S20E21 The Key West House - 2
Episode Overview
After enjoying the stunning sunset at Mallory Square the previous evening, the This Old House crew dives into their work. They first catch up with general contractor Roger Townsend to review the progress on the job site while master carpenter visits a local lumberyard to explore materials that help Key West residents endure the weather while honoring traditional architecture. Homeowner and architect Michael Miller shows us a transformed Conch cottage that now serves as a library and guest room. Its charming porch embodies Key West style with painted tongue-and-groove decking, simple columns, and an exposed beam ceiling, providing inspiration for Michael and Helen's own porch renovation. Meanwhile, excavator Ray Vanyo begins digging for the pool and unexpectedly uncovers a hidden cistern, revealing a piece of Key West history.
