those are wood stairs in a wood structure. much better solution. they're also protected because they're inside. so they're not going to have as much of a problem. they still have a joint there which is a leak problem that has to be caulked. this is sort of an interesting exercise. as you walk down the street i want to you look at the buildings carefully and see if you can see the space between the buildings in san francisco. and here we have a space that's about 3 fourth of an inch or an inch or something like that -- 3/4 of an -- 3 fourth of an inch or an -- 3/ of an inch or an inch, or something like that. you do a roof and your neighbor does a roof and you put a piece of flashing between the building and that keeps water out of that space between the buildings. water gets down there between the buildings and it's extremely difficult to repair dry rot inside that space. you have to take the inside wall out to get to it. we also see a couple of other things happening here. we see a down spout from a drain and those need to just be checked to make

so i'm looking at some painted wood here which is white, but then some sort of bleached wood as well,o sort of monotone. exactly. i mean, it could run the risk of getting a little boring, right white on white on white? well, no, i mean, you have to look at the textures of it. so this is a hand-painted cabinet. those are going to be in the kitchen. some very, very slight striations here from the brushstrokes, i can pick those up. and then the backsplash tile is really cool. vertical and horizontal running lines. it's an oversized tile 5 1/2 x 22. oh, wow. so this actually is pretty long this way. it's going to be run all along the back wall of the kitchen. and then we have the southern yellow pine and that's going to be on the hood and in the bays of the windows. so the hood above the range, and then those window bays. and i guess, you know, white on white on white is a little bit of a misnomer, 'cause you look at this, there is some contrast there. yeah, there's a lot of texture. it's very sophisticated. okay. and then, kevin, in the dining room sally really loves the slabby modern wo

you saw it on wood, metal, plastic and here on tile. what you need to cut, versacut makes a quality cut the first time, every time. >> announcer: versacut is from rockwell, so you know it's a high-quality, precision instrument. with a compact, balanced design that's less than half the weight of an ordinary circular saw, it's much easier to control. precision depth settings allow you to cut in place on a simple piece of scrap lumber. 3500 r.p.m. of cutting power so it speeds through almost any material. an all-metal plunge base and blade guard that provide 360 degrees of protection. plus a laser guide that helps you get perfect straight cuts every time. and with the three different cutting blades for wood, metal and tile, you're gonna use versacut all the time. >> check this out: we're going to show you how to take the pain out of cutting plywood sheets down to size. >> this is how versacut really makes your life easier. i'm using my optional track guide, setting it with the cut line indicator and i can make clean, straight cuts in sheet

. >> when we still had the wood- burning stove we had to carry the wood in from outside.i had to clear out the ashes from the stove. that was a lot of work. and when we came home it took forever to heat the rooms. >> that's why they bought a new stove. it's fueled with pellets made from compressed wood residues. it doesn't need filling as often -- and it's cleaner. azra and her husband hope four tons of pellets will see them through the winter. >> we could only heat one floor with the old stove. the new stove heats two floors. that's double the area -- and it costs the same as it used to with the old one. >> there's plenty of wood in bosnia and herzegovina. around half the country is forested -- and the wood industry is a major economic sector. azra's pellets come from pale, just southeast of sarajevo. they're made of waste wood from businesses in the area. the wood products are ground up before delivery. they're dried in a rotating oven and then compressed. the company has been producing the fuel for four years now. >> the pellets come out this grid here and get cut by a

i chose to find my own wood from a south shore school. we refurbished the wood and built new. we wanted a stable table but also had character. when designing a kitchen, start off with your island. i really wd thisand to be the gathering place for the family. if you look closely you can see the divots from people rolling. i also wanted it to feel spacious. i chose one that had nothing underneath. a great way to add another focal point, add a sliding barn door. now to the family room. the last room but the most important. this room just like the other ones was a small space to work with. i also wanted it to reflect the family. so i had them choose a bunch of old artwork, pictures, things close to them to add to the wall. this had a plain dry walled ceiling. i added detail. as you look up top you can see we added crown molding and also the boards. it reflects the artwork which gives more attention to the room. thanks for checking out my design on lincoln park today. i hope this will help you in your future projects. >>> still ahead, a spacious connecticut home with a unique ameni

let's look at this look of muir woods. >> this suggest a path born before thoughts could be made into the words. here is this ancient place, the elderly among these trees are more than a thousand years old and the young ones a mere 2-300. john muir said any fool can destroy a tree and even if they could run and hide, the same fools would hunt them down to make a dollar from their bark. there is a sense of irony in that a man would come from california to save the forest. setting about the task of preserving the land of this canyon. in 1903, kent perchasedt purchased 60 600 acres. >> he encouraged the railroad to put in a spur line that would bring people in and he build the inn. >> they would last for years, but soon after kent purchased the land, a nearby natural disaster put it at risk. the 1906 earthquake and fire leveled most of the city. and they turned their eyes on the forest. he asked for president of the united states for help and he made an offer they couldn't refuse. >> he offered to donate the land to the federal government and this is the first time an individual had done

wood? yeah, wood framed building. why is wood the safest building to be in, 4 stories or less? it flexes, yeah, it's flexible. what's the danger here? chimney, yeah, fireplace. be aware of the fact that just because it's a wood building and the event caused some sort of compromise of the structure of the building and the building is still standing doesn't necessarily mean there's not a danger there. so what could you as nert's do to make that situation better or at least keep it the same so no one else gets hurt? keep it off, yeah. keep people away. perfect. take out some of that yellow tape that you have, that yellow caution tape, and string it around around keep people back. in this particular case, what could you do to make that situation better? turn off the gas. where would you turn the gas off at? at the street, okay. that's a good place to do it. but you always want to do it at the safest location. so if the street is the safest location, that's where you would do it at. this house here fell over. doesn't have something called a sheer wall. so it's just a platform or a p

because i knew the results are good in the wood morris health remain hell famous not. well it's getting a bit dry out and there is some dead wood in the middle when it's needed you know but all in all its condition would remain the same. music to me it's a good joke and it was good. soloist. to draw the visitor's eyes the park benefits from a range of natural lighting effects. all creating a beautifully glistening effect in the water with the rays of light playing through regular rows of trees though it was when i made you and now we are walking along another avenue of the lower gardens it is called marley alley because that leads to the marley palace. where you can see the palace. three other avenues of the lower gardens lead to the mardi palace. such style of garden is called french formal garden weirdly from the french gardens have straight avenues and the trees are trimmed to give them like regular joe metric forms for. peter the great once flew into a rage when he saw a french architected invited to peterhof cutting down trees the czar was quick to beat his guest

you grew newspaper wellington. >> yup. >> stephen: you turned it into wellie wood.k around in his old neighborhood. >> yeah. >> stephen: is that incredible s that as satisfying as making its movies that you managed to do it where you want to do it? >> yeah, i mean look i was very lucky because i'm a kiwi. i live there and i love working there. we've got fantastic crews. and we just happened to be the lucky filmmakers that ended up doing lord of the rings in the most per spec country in the world to shoot it i often said if any other direct never the world was doing the lord of the rings new ze lan was probably the location they would have gone to. >> stephen: it looks like you built it to make the movie. >> i can open my backyard and walk out into the yard. >> stephen: did you think of any other technical innovations that you weren't able to use in lord of the rings that you can use for the hobbit. for instance, the scene with gollum, he is in some ways better even than he was in the lord of the rings what is different about him. i can tell something. >> well, there

next booktv interviewed tom woods about the latest book "rollback." it's on now it's about twenty minutes. >>> you're watching booktv on c-span2. we are on loo indication in las vegas at freedom fest. and we are joined now by author tom woods who is the author the recent book is "rollback." "rollback: repealing big government before the coming fiscal collapse" how would you describe the premises behind your book, and what are your main points that you are trying to get across? >> well, only about 5 percent of the book deals with fiscal issues and the budget. i would rather jump out a window than read or write a book. to set the stage we're on a trajectory left or right, democrat or republican, we have to admit can't be sustained. obviously some very wrenching changes are coming. the rest of the book is sort of gored toward kind of revisiting some of the arguments by which we were sold big government and wealthy. we have this program and -- what i'm trying to suggest when we have to cut back, it's not going to be the terrible catastrophe that the night

buying wood is much too expensive, so they get it from the forests illegally. kenya's forests have shrunk by almost 50% in the last few decades. janet omari wants to change that. for a year she's been working for the swiss company vestergaard frandsen. she travels to the villages to offer people an alternative. here in the region, she and her colleagues have distributed 900,000 of these water filters -- filters with pores so small that they don't catch just dirt but also bacteria. the people no longer need to boil water to purify it. now janet is checking to see how well the filter, called a lifestraw, is working out and where there are still problems. >> where we still have to work with the people is education. you know change is gradual. so the only thing we need to do is educate our community. will they use our lifestraw and have safe drinking water. so the only challenge is, like, we need to educate them more and inform them more. so once they are empowered with education, things will work out. >> the filters are completely free of charge for the families.

deer were driven from the woods by dogs. instinctively entering the water to get off the scent, the deer became an easy target for the waiting hunters. the splendor of the adirondacks gives increased poignancy to the unfolding drama. homer's water-color techniques were perfectly suited to the deeper, graver moods he wished to evoke in his adirondacks pictures. as if without effort, layers of transparent color create illusions of an explicit reality. the artist seems drawn to the paradox of death as a source of intimacy with life. wherever he traveled, homer returned to maine-- to the prouts neck studio which was central to his life and work. the winters at prouts neck were extremely cold and desolate. although homer seemed to tolerate the bone-chilling weather-- often finding beauty in his bleak surroundings-- he began to make trips to nassau and florid during december and january. the first of these was in 1885 and later, in successive years from 1898 to 1904. during the late 19th century, nassau had become a popular touris
