This Old House | Masonry Lessons (S43 E7) FULL EPISODE

[@cf5914]

Its cool to see Charlie featured more and more on the show!

[@mattrajotte]

I love this old house Don't get me wrong but I would love to see a series on budget fixes for century homes. I can't relate to the size of this house and size of project

[@BradThePitts]

There are hundreds of This Old House videos available going back to 1979 when the remodels were relatively simple.

[@oogrooq]

Yeah or upgrading my ranch house that hasn't changed since the Soviet Union was still around.

[@saulgoodman2018]

There's other shows besides this old house.

[@SomeDudeQC]

Are you not a multimillionaire like most average people?

[@davidbruce5377]

I love how they flattened that floor transition.

[@RicardoJunqueira]

I can't wait to see this project finished.

[@ryanroberts1104]

I bet Tommy could cut something perfectly square with a circular saw, while blindfolded, drunk, and hanging upside down...

[@ydna]

eliminates floor squeaking, man I would kill for some of that purple stuff back when this junk house of mine was built lol

[@buckbuck9225]

I'm loving this show again. And me and my pop been watching since day one...

[@mirodilmirzakhmedov9287]

Leveling the floor was interesting. Thanks.

[@cmsjean723]

Technique, technique and more technique! All filmed expertly and dished out to us to absorb. So much to see, learn and appreciate! Critique away people! Comments and alternative suggestions are useful feedback.

[@tzarjoe]

This thing is insane. How they're going to smash a giant multi angle modern addition on the back of that poor little cape and make it all hang together is anyone's guess. Miracle if this thing turns out to be any good.

[@GalacticTradingPost]

why do americans do so many additions to old homes instead of going with an entirely new home?

[@godbluffvdgg]

Sweet job! I've rarely been lucky to have clients live off site...That place is HUGE...As a remodeling contractor for 30 years; they're doing at least 350K worth of work depending on finishes; that number could easily double...I imagine skilled labor is no better up north as well; Down here in philly; it's horrible

[@Freedacarlo]

I work in the area this is a 1.3m + project

[@godbluffvdgg]

@@Freedacarlo funny I was going to guess around a million too but I only saw so much of the first floor I was thinking just the kitchen and that addition sweet project though

[@godbluffvdgg]

@Navy1977 Is this ther largest job in your career? As a remodeling Contractor in philly for 35 years, I know it would be mine...I don't envy you for the logistics in a project that size...1.3 million? That'a a dollar per decision...:)..I hope you have zero stress, no slippage and they give you the CO easy peasy...Just remember when you get to the punch list; you're half way done...:)

[@KarlBunker]

Judging from the kitchen layout, this "growing family" must be planning on having about 47 more children.

[@JimDean002]

I'm thinking they're going to start a bed and breakfast to pay for the thing. That's one heck of a project

[@ryanroberts1104]

It's probably more about she needs something to do all day while he's out paying the bills. Probably never worked a day in her life.

[@Peter-cx4ir]

@@ryanroberts1104Nah I found their LinkedIn. Both went to MIT and Harvard and both have successful careers.

[@Peter-cx4ir]

@@JimDean002lol I’m pretty sure they’re set financially

[@jesse6344]

The irony is, with the island so wide, there is minimal space to walk around. It’s actually going to be a really tight kitchen.

[@drasticmart]

Miss the old intro, it’s the classic viewer lament

[@firemanj35]

Loving this series

[@miltoncallan1471]

Thanks for the new intro. That fake laugh from the chic who said, "I think we do", was getting old, fast.

[@ISpitHotFiyaa]

Is any part of this house original? Why not just rip it down completely and build something new?

[@BradThePitts]

See episode 1.

[@ttk1opc]

Charlie is the man

[@joeivo911]

Beautiful

[@brocephus1107]

"We're lucky to be here with a young, growing family, that are adding a custom million dollar renovation, here's how you can do it with the same money"

[@GCubedProductions]

I like the new intro.

[@jimrockford3662]

Yeah, their a GROWING family…….you just need incredibly big everything, because they’re a growing family.

[@oogrooq]

That island seems way too large.

[@whitelobster1ify]

Kitchen continent.

[@WrathRT]

Imagine having an island in your kitchen that's the size of South America and then also having a tiny little table in the corner just so you can say, "I have an eat-in kitchen!"

[@ekoller]

That’s barely an old house. More like a new house with an old house mask on it.

[@ekoller]

@Navy1977 I saw it. I understand what they’re trying to do but at this project develops this still feels like essentially a brand new modern home with some annoying elements from the last house they’re choosing to keep in the front.

[@ekoller]

@Navy1977agreed. It’s cool to see a big house go up but it’s less relatable and also loses its charm as the regular person program

[@ruleev6432]

Now I understand "more dollars than sense"

[@kamranhaidertunio]

It will be a beautiful home.

[@BruceWayne-m6g]

I’d love to see the price tag of this project.

[@1ELiMusic]

Sure. An eye ball, right thumb & index finger and a kidney. Affordable!

[@2nickles647]

5 million

[@radcontract]

Tommy is perfect.

[@Cue-pv3jg]

Who takes the time and effort to level joists and floors? Tommy of course. I remember his older brother “Dickie” is he still alive?

[@reclaimednj]

Funny, I stumbled upon lime mortar after watching a TOH video here where Tom was using Portland cement to fix a stone foundation. Many commenters said that was not right. After that, I learned the right way to restore my 150 year old sandstone foundation using lime mortar. It’s a dream to work with and matches the historic masonry used to build my home (the right way)!

[@johnlebzelter4208]

@reclaimednj No you didn’t. You’re just starving for attention.

[@reclaimednj]

@@johnlebzelter4208 🤣😂🤣

[@PJJ196]

No you didn’t.. Tom knows more than you hope to learn in 50 lifetimes .. just stfu and worry about ur own life

[@rampooni8122]

That’s a huge extension

[@terencemerritt]

That’s what she said

[@PJJ196]

1:44 got me all excited lol

[@eraldway]

They changed their opening theme mid season. 🤔

[@4DModding]

Building a house from wood. A europeans idea of a lifetime of hardship. 😂 wtf is with the island. 30 children ?

[@marcodm]

Doesnt that long caulking glue gun straw waist a lot?

[@poopstick924]

maybe, but it really saves your back

[@terencemerritt]

No. You put it on the next tube and repeat. No loss until you eventually quit using it

[@deadslideio7195]

Wonder what this cost

[@sherriianiro747]

Someone in the area commented 1.3 million. It is New England -

[@saulgoodman2018]

That island is too wide and to long.

[@lancevanvleet5013]

What ever happened to the guy that was the lead contractor on some projects? Maybe his name was mark , maybe…. He was really good

[@SomeDudeQC]

Died ☹

[@ericcartmansh]

Oof, this must be a few hundred thousand just for the build

[@longviewfarm226]

Charlie looks like Charlie sheen

[@CUBABLOCKMASONRY]

👍🏾🙏🏾

[@tcash2402]

I used to love this show... It's just a mockery now of super Rich versus poor and if the house isnt 5,000 square feet and up. They don't even want to talk to you..that friggin island is BIGGER than my tiny apartment... I'm all for defunding P.B.S It's Just a joke now... The PBS building in Boston WGBH makes the Taj mahal look like a tent.. and most of the staff on TOH are multi-millionaires

[@NoOneIsGoingToSaveYou]

Amazing building built 100 to 200 years ago are still standing without all the BS we have in modern builds. Money grab with all this new crap.

[@heyyywhynot]

No kidding. If you punch a wall made of modern drywall, you’ll put a hole in it. If you punch a wall made of 100 year old plaster in good condition, you’ll break your hand.

[@santiagogomez1254]

yes plaster from back then is very tough because it has asbestos

[@heyyywhynot]

@@santiagogomez1254Yup. Don’t break it!

[@NoOneIsGoingToSaveYou]

Asbestos, ha look at the ingredients in your food far worse than asbestos.

[@heyyywhynot]

@@NoOneIsGoingToSaveYou Agreed, and don't get me started on this. Asbestos remediation has become such a lucrative industry, along with the money from civil suits that lawyers love pushing, that the extent to which we are now told to freak out about asbestos is absurd. Here's the health tip everyone should know to minimize your risks from asbestos: don't smoke. You shouldn't be smoking anyway because it is so awful for you, but your risks of mesothelioma only increase to a shocking degree if you're also a smoker. Same for radon exposure.

[@heartscards6335]

that music sure sucks

[@johnlebzelter4208]

All in favor of Karen & Jenn mud wrestling hit the “thumbs up” button for my comment. 😂😂

[@2loco]

​@Navy1977 I'd like it see this mud wrestling episode in 2024 and 2025 too.

[@johnlebzelter4208]

@Navy1977 Why does my comment even concern you? What’s sexist and unintelligent about my random comment?Lighten up “Karen”. I mean maybe your into guys…who knows.

[@johnlebzelter4208]

@@2loco Right. Just a little humor and Navy boy blew it to the tenth degree.

[@2loco]

@johnlebzelter4208 on second thoughts, I'm utterly disturbed, disgusted, and disappointed by your initial comment re the mud. Who wants mud between their cheeks. I'd much rather jello... so my comment will be "id love to watch a jello wrestling match between those 2 birds". Thanks

[@johnlebzelter4208]

@Navy1977Get what? A lame KZbinr trying to tell me what I can not post? This doesn’t involve you one bit. You’re the one who is making it a big deal, good. Besides, “bullying?” Hahaha. Funny. I’am sure you’re a 60 year old virgin, who wouldn’t even grasp the idea of girls wrestling. Now we are done here. Bye goofy!

[@mdhofstee]

В США легкий доступ к древесине, поэтому использование каркаса в большинстве наших домов является стандартным и происходит из традиции быстрого строительства, поскольку население США растет, поэтому требуется быстрое строительство. Нам также нравится возможность быстрого расширения наших нынешних домов, поэтому дома, которые не требуют расширения, встречаются довольно редко. The US has easy access to wood so using framing in most of our houses is standard and comes from a tradition of building fast as the US has been increasing in population so quick building is required. We also like easy ability to expand our current homes quickly so homes that do not require expansion is rather rare.
