Home renovation series, This Old House, continues its 46th season with a new episode focused on practical improvements and aesthetic additions. In “Ridgewood: Flooring Features and a Rocking Fountain,” the team tackles the sometimes-overlooked details that can make or break a renovation project.
This week, the crew turns its attention to the bathroom, specifically the construction of a curbless shower, a feature gaining popularity for its accessibility and sleek design. The installation process, often fraught with potential pitfalls for the DIY enthusiast, will be broken down step-by-step, offering viewers valuable insights.
Moving from the bathroom to the kitchen, the episode will also cover the installation of new flooring. While flooring choices can seem overwhelming, the This Old House team will guide viewers through the selection and installation process, focusing on practicality and durability.
Finally, the episode shifts to the exterior, where a custom-made water feature will be installed on the backyard patio. This segment aims to demonstrate how a well-chosen and properly installed water feature can elevate a patio from basic to breathtaking. Viewers can expect a detailed look at the design considerations, construction techniques, and potential challenges involved in creating such a focal point.
This Old House airs Thursdays at 8/7c on PBS.
