This Old House | Smaller is Better (S43 E11) FULL EPISODE

[@ToxicSpork]

Wooden gutters just sound like the most unnecessarily high maintenance thing ever

[@neilirvine7129]

An option is to re-cast them in fiberglass and paint. Same look, little maintenance

[@TheMonkdad]

People frequently become so obsessed with authenticity that they don’t consider the long term implications of neglected maintenance. Imagine not only cleaning your gutters but also having to oil them annually and probably paint them every 2-3 years.

[@signalauto27]

They make extruded aluminum gutters that mimic the same look

[@SamClemens-n9q]

How bout wooden water mains excavated beneath the streets of Philadelphia? 200 plus years old

[@MRosati5000]

Ilike the Silva's attention to detail and Tom has a good voice for explaining. The lady's table was very nice!

[@deanehill9730]

So good when Tommy and Charlie are working together. Great video, thanks.

[@BossLinco]

That complex set of roof angles in the back is a ridiculous design. Ice dams waiting to happen in general and bonus bc that valley is over the open ceiling room which, no matter how well insulated, will warm that roof

[@Egleu1]

Oh no.

[@tacojohnhg8181]

lol at 9:00, the dude casually using the sawzall as a hammer

[@jacobdean1454]

It’s a very versatile tool 😂

[@mjay4700]

I'm glad others caught it too!

[@1rewd133]

Every tool has a hammer end.

[@bryansavage5056]

I think it is truly awesome that her mother got involved to create the perfect outdoor dining table for them

[@hungry_arch]

I never even heard of wooden gutters.

[@brianmiller1580]

Wood gutters 😂 at some point you just have to say no

[@michaelbaumgardner2530]

My first experience with wooden gutters,looks a little labor intensive to me

[@brianmiller4207]

The best show ever created....

[@georgejetson4378]

Wood gutters??? WTF? These people are insane.

[@sterlingodeaghaidh5086]

if it works it works.

[@1rewd133]

Why so?

[@georgejetson4378]

@@1rewd133 hmm, I wonder, now why would wood gutters not be a good choice for people that fall below the 0.1%? It certainly couldn’t be cost and maintenance could it? Nah.

[@reb2322]

Doesn't anyone ever make a mistake on this show? THAT would make my day! 🤣

[@davidstewart1153]

Watch at 21:50 - the screw hole is not countersunk and too close to the end of the miter. The screw head wedges the wood apart and splits it.

[@reb2322]

@@davidstewart1153 I THOUGHT that was gonna happen, and I was just waiting for it, but I guess I missed it. 😊

[@FrederVision]

No sealer or glue of any kind under the skylight before install?

[@xavierpaul852]

How do you waterproof such wierd roofing lines

[@MaltedBeard]

9:00 in.....I didn't know I could use my sawzall as a hammer. Thanks This Old House!

[@SomeDudeQC]

Some people have more money than cents!

[@carvetop]

That skylight is worth more than my car…

[@waterchickenwoodworxbydanb42]

I couldn't imagine how much it would cost to have Tommy and his brother put a wood gutter on your house .man, they are labor intensive .look real nice but seems like a ton of maintenance. Real neat to see how they are supposed to be installed and didn't know they still made wood gutters

[@waterchickenwoodworxbydanb42]

@Navy1977 pretty sure that's his brother, there is 4 or 5 boys in the family he talks about in the special they did with him

[@grahamstefaan]

I put a wood gutter on my old house in a historic district. Yes a ton of maintenance unless you lead line it.

[@johnlebzelter4208]

@waterchickenwoodworxb… I can’t imagine how crappy your spelling and grammar is.

[@johnlebzelter4208]

@Navy1977haha. Just goes to show that you don’t know much paps.

[@derekbryant6137]

I'm 42 years old I live in Ohio and I've never seen a wooden gutter every system I've seen has been aluminum copper PVC or stainless steel that's really interesting to see

[@deshaunjackson8188]

Great work guys!!

[@mjay4700]

9:00 Did he really just smack the piece with the tip of the sawblade? lol

[@johnlebzelter4208]

It will be great when it leaks!😂

[@julesg789]

Love this show amazing crew

[@avalon449]

Skylight - simple is best. In 5 years that’ll be a mess.

[@TheChronicsmoka]

They will be leaking within 10 years...

[@garrett892]

Never seen wooden gutters before. Just seems like a bad idea. Heavy and prone to rotting.

[@virginiarocks]

Super Silvas and the rest of the awesome crew - I never even knew there were wooden gutters these days 😇. The carpenter bees around here would love them.

[@ekoller]

Why cut open the skylight from outside vs inside?

[@janking2762]

What problem does this skylight solve?

[@ericcartmansh]

So cute when Tommy double checks the quality of his own work. As if Tommy is going to make a mistake :D

[@Guardducks]

Tommy spent all that time cutting out for the pieces of lead but now he has a gully where water will get trapped and pool up at the mitres.

[@Red_Runner]

@thisoldhouse what will the total square footage be when it's done?

[@2008Amp1]

Question Regarding the Skylight , Say if the Power goes out or The Eletcric Motor FAILS can it Be opened or Closed MANUALLY?????????

[@rustyshackle917]

Skylight closes automatically with rain detection or power loss. I like Marvin windows but question the longevity of gadgets like this.

[@popswerks7915]

I was surprised to see Tommy use a corded circular saw, especially on a roof… in current times.

[@PJJ196]

Amazing work.. loving this season

[@beernd4822]

What glue is the lady using to glue the pieces to the table

[@ChristopherCroyle]

Dreamy for sure. 😮❤

This New House

[@robertoler3795]

Charlie is a chip off the block well done

[@daleolson3506]

This is smaller?smaller than what a motel?

[@nufcedkidyup8627]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@ssl3546]

Looks like Lexel, that stuff does not behave well outdoors and it is certainly not paintable outside -- it will sag within a year and the paint will detach.

[@Guardducks]

Tommy spent all that time cutting out for the pics of lead but now he has a gully where water will get trapped and pool up at the corners.

[@ElectricGears]

He cut away a thickness equal to the thickness of the lead sheet. The clear silicone doesn't show up all that well on camera, but it wold be filling any other gaps so the bottom surface of the channel is smooth. What is really important for wood gutters is pitch. There will always be a little water trapped in a few places. As long as you have proper pitch and keep them reasonably clean you won't have a large amount of standing water that takes days or weeks to evaporate.

[@josephhathaway5053]

How is windowpowered?

[@Yaketyyak21]

Timber gutters are not very practical.

[@infiltrator7777]

This project still confuses me. You took a 1,200 sqf home and attached what looks to be 4,000 sqf. It's an odd look and would have been better to remodel the old home or build something new.

[@rockys7726]

THO skips steps again. They never addressed the electrical connection to the skylight. It looks so easy. Cut a hole, drill some screws and put down tape. Totally neglected the electrical work.

[@macxgeek]

When is TOH back for the spring season??? It’s been a real bummer now that the magazine is no longer printed

[@Elbowendj]

How much, on earth, does all this cost??!!

[@jgoel3266]

This "addition" is a monstrosity. I love Tommy, however.

[@elizabethzieman1059]

Why does anyone watch the drivel (they are only building Hollywood stage sets) on HGTV when you could watch this. Real people building a real house.

[@francineh.7825]

Beautiful table!

[@TheAnalystradioprogram]

Nice long video. Not those short little 5 min videos.

[@jimgrant9081]

What powered the skylight?

too bad norms kid is not part of this. The electrician is ok, tommy, his brother, his son, rich n his son, n kevin are awesome, everyone else is a joke
