This Old House | Cape Ann Shingle Style (S41 E17) | FULL EPISODE

Homeowners John and Molly plan to put the history back into their 1890s Shingle-style home. They’ll remove ‘70s carpet, repair cracking balusters and transform the front entry, restoring the home’s original beauty and updating it for modern living.

Kevin sets the scene in Cape Ann, full of fishing and granite and picturesque harbors. He, Richard, Tommy, Norm and Jenn head to the house - a rambling 1890s Shingle Style that’s in need of a major overhaul. Homeowner Molly gives Kevin a tour of the first floor, where they’ll convert a three-season porch to all-season, expose hardwood floors under the tattered carpet, refinish some of the beautiful historic woodwork and move the kitchen to the center of the home. Homeowner John leads Tommy to the second floor, where they’ll create a larger closet and updated bathroom in the master bedroom. Two additional bedrooms rooms will also get altered into full suites. The third floor will be gutted and transformed into one guest bedroom and a playroom. Richard shows Kevin the “archaeological dig” in the basement, tracing the heating back to when the house was first built. Ductwork was added at one point but very large and not very effective in the winter. More recently, a boiler was added to heat water for kitchen and bathrooms. In an adjacent area under the porch, they’ll pour a slab and lay radiant to make an exercise room. And the area under the new kitchen will become conditioned to make the kitchen easier to heat and cool. Architect Thaddeus Siemasko discusses the design elements of Shingle Style with Norm and Charlie and presents his design plan for the house. They’ll build a new garage and mudroom off the side and add a porch onto the front that’s more in keeping with the original style. Inside, they’ll create a more open floor plan that will require some engineering. Jenn and Kevin walk the property, which is embedded in a woodland area covered with granite ledge. The homeowners want to keep the lot natural but will have to work with the ledge to create space for the garage and mudroom. Around the back, Jenn hopes to get rid of old beds and weeds and lay some sod. A paper birch by the existing garage will be saved.

Love the new apprentice program. It's great for the viewers like me always looking for tips. You go more in-depth with basic things. Build confidence, show appreciation. It's awesome. I'd like more of the Detroit style house you did. Maybe rebuild a neighbor hood. Show these other remodel shows what's up. Would demonstrate the effectiveness of your work and landscaping. Cheers

[@SloanAlex]

While a remodel most of us wont be able to afford. Still excited to watch and see the progress!

[@lucky1206]

Even though this show is great and tells me to do projects around my house the right way, I feel this show intentionally finds homes and people who make well over $150,000 a year that are beyond what most ordinary Americans make to be able to afford these types of projects. Adding a whole new house, taking out the roof and adding an second floor, leveling the entire house and building a new one in the same spot, etc.... It's like wtf

[@linnsoltwedel]

You might not afford the total, but This Old House is good with showing things that might work for more situations than the one they are in.

Hello, we have a boiler, and the pilot is coming, but it is not firing up or pushing hot water to the radiator. Do you have any technicians in the Alexandria, VA area? Our first issue is the safety valve is leaking, model number 10-408, 30 PSI, 535000, from Conbraco Industries, INC. Our second issue is a stuck flue draft damper, might be because of the power or it's bad. Could you help us?

Money is obviously not an issue. Whoa.

[@Trolltastically]

It seems that way but I have questions when people don’t even put up blinds or curtains in rooms they use, and have Christmas lights up instead not in season. The cozy room looks like a college kids living room. They seem housepoor and are likely pulling out equity from the house. But clearly just speculation

still not as bad as the last house, where they literally took down half of it to rebuild basically completely.

[@sterlingodeaghaidh5086]

There are a lot of these homes and examples around, I also bet that they arent just gonna throw away everything they will donate some of it to carity and stuff. Also remodeling isnt about cost effectivenss its more about repurposing and not having to build new, some municipalities you dont need permits to remodel the interior of your place just if you were to add on or demolish.
