Summer Kitchen Restoration

Overview

Lauren and Dan own an amazing stone home in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania that dates back to the 1850s. The summer kitchen is a separate structure that was historically used to keep the heat from cooking away from the main house. The exterior is in great condition, but the interior is crumbling, and the massive original cooking fireplace needs some serious attention. Jeff and his team attempt to restore the fireplace to its original condition and remove the ceiling boards to expose the original rafters, but they run into problems when they try to repurpose the ceiling boards as flooring on the ground level.
