Kevin O'Connor looks at the kitchen progress--the base and top cabinets are in and the countertops are getting installed.
The new coffered ceiling adds a beautiful detail above as does the new random width white oak flooring.
Jeff Sweenor is installing white oak floating shelves on either side of the fireplace. Down the hallway, much of the original knotty pine from the old ranch house was saved to be used in the playroom. Jeff's team cleaned up the pine by resurfacing, cutting, and planing the boards. They glue and nail each board vertically to create a 36" high wainscoting around the room and finish it off with a horizontal cap.
Meanwhile Kevin heads up to Maine to visit the apprentices who are taking a course in homebuilding and timber framing. Former apprentice Mary is a now a timber frame intern at the institute. Gaius Hennin tells Kevin about the goals and curriculum of the courses and services offered.
Back in Westerly, Kevin visits the Babcock-Smith house museum, one of oldest houses in town, where George Washington once slept. Linda Chaffee highlights some of the notable interior architectural details.
Westerly has always been known for its coastline--where tourists used to come via steamboats and railway, staying in fancy hotels, Victorian houses and cottages. Captain Jack Spratt gives Kevin a quick old-fashioned car tour of a prominent area called Watch Hill and resident Amy Martira tells him about the draw of the popular Misquamicut Beach.
At the project house, Jon Zeyl is starting on the outdoor steps. A story pole shows the lines of level and pitch for the formal bluestone landing, walkway, and the tops of each riser for the steps. Out back he shows Jenn Nawada the Westerly granite steps being set in with a vacuum lift connected to an excavator. They check the depth with homeowner Shayla before they lower in the next heavy step.

[@ayourk1]

Looks like an audio problem with some of the outdoor stuff with Jen's section.

[@deefdragon]

yeah, sounds like they just muted a channel when editing unfortunately. They had no environmental sounds on the entire first section. Edit: Re listening I stand corrected. That sounds like a messed up mix at the end there, not just a mute.

[@landreewilliams]

WHAT?!

[@locke3141]

I guessing it was just a constant stream of cursing between them two and that’s why they silenced them. I see no other reasonable explanation.

[@Mellmick26]

It’s as if the microphones stopped working when they got to Farr away from the camera 🤔🫶 even the closed captions stop working

[@dlg5485]

I've noticed that the episodes have less actual building content than they use to. From week to week there's a month of work being done that you're not filming. Still good stuff, but I'd like to see much more of the building process.

[@nscaledelights]

Hey TOH what happened to the audio?

[@ThomasEricWendt]

Love the show! I also love how this "old media" shows through on youtube. Not a big deal to lose audio. ...but it truly feels like broadcast tv when there is no acknowledgment and they just choose to edit and upload this lol

[@PJJ196]

Love that naughty pine

[@andyman8214]

im more of a dirty pine kind of guy myself

[@lukefitzwater1502]

Can't believe that audio made it to a broadcast. You need to re-encode the file and upload it again. If the audio is truly lost, put a disclaimer on it with subtitles, please.

[@OhanaFilms]

When will people stop putting TVs over fireplaces?

[@OhanaFilms]

@@Kevin-mp5of It's always funny to watch trends come and go. Someday the owners of this house will kick themselves when knotty pine becomes all the rage again and they are stuck with the old trend of shiplap.

[@deezeejoey]

r/Tvtoohigh

[@OhanaFilms]

@@deezeejoey Thank you!

[@thomasfreer580]

Anybody else notice Mary's guns! The girl is clearly killing it!!!

[@flat-earther]

thomasfreer I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.

[@peterhanson3962]

The sound editor should check the videos before they go online. School boy error.

[@bg147]

I would have kept one of the rooms all knotty pine, but it's good they saved some. Oh, they are going to white wash it.

[@Egleu1]

Yea why go through all the effort to plane it if you're just covering it up.

[@Musabe009]

Would have been nice to see a finished product of the stone steps and walkway!!! What’s happening to your show?

[@flat-earther]

Musabe009 I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.

[@aprev039]

That’s a lot of cussin 0:09

[@nusermane1076]

10:00 I‘d really like to use your apps, but they aren’t available in Germany. Can you make them available here? 🙂

[@donc-m4900]

@thisoldhouse audio at end

[@BradPow]

I made my floating shelves the same way and thought it was my original idea haha.

[@flat-earther]

BradPittlike I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.

[@judychurley6623]

What happened to the sound at 20:00?

[@frdradio]

Poor Jen... got her audio canceled.

[@TrumpAmerica-2024]

she sounds better without audio

[@deefdragon]

Not my first time hearing of the Shelter Institute. Pure Living For Life worked with them.

[@diecaster1018]

Too bad their channel is now DEAD!!!

[@deefdragon]

@@diecaster1018 They are choosing to live their life, which is fine. The fact that such a detailed documentation of a house building exists at all is awesome. Mind, I stopped watching them a bit after they actually raised their house. They leaned far too much into the click-bait for me.

[@LastofallJedi]

Audio REALLY bad

[@spacecowboy2k]

I've barely watched for a minute, but if they say "tight budget" anywhere in here, I'm going to explode.

[@paulmitrano3612]

As great as this is, I feel as though this doesn't really reflect the average middle class American home restoration. Sure, if I had a $1M budget, I'd go to town but TOH has kind of lost it's way building these outlandish mansions.

[@johnglielmi6428]

This video actually has some spots have a dead microphone. Especially during the Landscaping segment!

[@1davidtech]

They really don’t like Jen lol

[@chucknelson4556]

Boston

[@trek520rider2]

Those Model T's that hauled people from the station to the hotel came to be known as... station wagons!!!!

[@flat-earther]

trek520rider2 I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.

[@michaelscheel9533]

Audio drops twice after twenty minutes in.

[@jaysonchilds4676]

That tight tolerance was not so tight!

[@nutsandbolts7407]

Wish I could go to that school

[@flat-earther]

nutsandbolts I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.

[@jaysonchilds4676]

She was just talking about how to make sandwiches...

[@willschultz5452]

I'm just wondering is glue the only thing holding the 2 pieces of wood together?

[@MrTitaylor]

A properly glued wood joint is plenty strong. If a break occurs, it's usually the wood itself that fails, not the glue

[@nw6gmp]

what did you say Jen? 🤷‍♂️

[@holdemNE1]

21:32 These guys are good! Nice job.

[@jimnasium452]

19:50 - 20:50 discuss project specs which do not meet code.

[@flat-earther]

Really? BTW jimnasium I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.

[@adamguymon7096]

19:50 What happened to the $OUND? 20:05 The $OUND finely came back? I wish that more of these would show more things completed as the project is done? 20:13 Again the $OUND went out and screwed up? This is annoying!!! 20:56 The sound came back again finely??? Is it only me or is it just PoopTube pulling their copywriter crap again?

[@esam2017]

👍👍👍

[@Yaketyyak21]

Sack the sound man..

[@BamBamBigelow..]

This should be called "This old Mansion"

[@shayd1984triton]

Can't hear Jen in the beginning.

[@dustdrop]

Audio breaks up.

[@rustyjeep2469]

13:20 doge tail spotted 😂 that Mary seems awesome and is cute af... 😁

[@benjaminrobinson3466]

2 years?? I would say you are still an apprentice .

[@SuperTuckerd]

Or a genius. She must be good at it. Why would they ask her to teach?

[@mtbst]

Love the show, but TOH has some serious KZbin qc issues

[@jdorffer]

Don’t pay for trade school, join a union

[@flat-earther]

jdorffer I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.

[@not_stoke_on_400fps2]

First and i Love the content

[@TrumpAmerica-2024]

this old newel post

[@andyman8214]

this is NOT the one and only episode that is marred by bad audio

[@flat-earther]

Yes. BTW andyman I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.

[@pufthemajicdragon]

You need a new editor. Seriously, missing an audio problem like that is an amateur mistake indie youtubers don't make.

[@johnames6430]

12:05 yeah it's just a thing for women to teach women stuff girl power something something get woke

[@jeffreyjohn2037]

Great to see people without masks again. Back to normalcy. 👍

[@anandonaqui]

This was filmed before the pandemic. It aired in October 2019, so was filmed in the spring/summer most likely.
