Chris Yerke shares his old house expertise on SFGTV


Guild member Chris Yerke recently discovered that a television program in which he participated is now available as streaming video on the San Francisco Government TV website. Filmed in 2006, the program was filmed as part of the San Francisco Building Department's brown bag lunch series, and aired on San Francisco cable channel 26. The program features contractor Chris Yerke, CEO of Restoration Workshop, Ltd. and carpenter James "Tools" Gauvin of Matarozzi Pelsinger in a panel discussion of old house issues.

This one hour program visits the thorny issues like weatherizing period homes, replacing windows, finding period house advice and craftspeople, and finding appropriate materials and hardware. It can be viewed by visiting the SFGTV.gov site, and scroll down the list of programs and select "This Old House."
