Later in the show, he takes viewers to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, where the house - and the lives of the many families that live there - have been recontructed.

It goes up quickly and keeps the chimney stack warmer, preventing the buildup of the column of cold air that normally dumps out, spreading smoke into the room.

Finally, architect Steve Holt shows our master carpenter his design for the new fireplace inglenook, based in part of old photos t
