Hmm. I've mixed Portland cement. That takes a bit of muscle to do. I'm doubtful that that woman really did that.

It's interesting to see this tiny kitchen and that small shower stall. Speaking in 2024, I think fat Americans would have trouble moving around in those spaces.

This has so much more basic information than later programs. This is much closer to what a homeowner should know.

And 50 years later I was paid to pull up and toss out this state of the art flooring material. Cabinets, too. In fact the only thing timeless in this are the hard wood floors.

Very interesting to see a coal-burning stove showcased as an enrgy-saving feature. It'll put out a lot of heat, but it's far from the cleanest way to heat that room. Nowadays it'd likely be a mini-split ductless system, or a wood or pellet stove, or an electric space heater.

I just enjoy watching This Old House. I like to build Lego sets, and whenever I work on one I always have This old House or The New Yankee Workshop in the background. Gives me the impression that I’m a carpenter lol

This series, The Woburn House, is the best season they ran. It actually showed homeowners how to take on average upgrades and improvements without doing a complete tare-out and installation of thousands of dollars of high-tech equipment. I remember watching this series as they were aired on PBS. Bob actually said the off-set in the hall was big enough for a phone. Anyone remember when we had a phone table in the hall for a wired rotary dial phone? I do.

Even for 1982 that vinyl flooring pattern is so out of date. Looks like something purchased from a early 70's Sears catalog. I hate wood paneling. Just about every house or office in the 70's and 80's had that crap nailed up. It makes a house look dark, depressing, and cheap. A lot of people put that up to keep from having to paint.

I doubt Bob did any of that kitchen cabinetry work himself. Norm worked 25 hour days in the early 80s.
