Ask This Old House | Walkway Reset, Chipped Floor (S16 E9) | FULL EPISODE

[@Ellias32188]

There are a lot of people that can do what Tommy does but no one explains it better. After I watch him work, I always feel like I can do the same thing while knowing that there is no chance it would be the same. Tommy is unreal. Love it.

Roger's accent is the only thing keeping me alive at this point

Great episode was very nice to see Roger helping a young man learn a skilled trade, while doing what he loves. Tom's eye balling the floor patch measurement and drawing a straight line is better than I can do with a ruler 👍🏽

[@PatrickPoet]

I for one, am happy that Roger continues to be involved after the announcement that he would not be. Thanks Roger. We see you discomfort and we would fix that for you if we could, but good on your continuing to impart your knowledge. Love you dude.

[@2loco]

I'd love to have Roger as a neighbour. He's an asset.

[@t1n4444]

Whether he's an Asset or an American, you're right, he'd be a great neighbour.

[@ELRORRITO1]

I honestly haven't clicked on a video in a while. But as soon as I saw Roger on the thumbnail. Had to click. No ask this Old House without Roger

[@alec4672]

He's getting old and tried. Norm partially retired Roger is on his way. That's fine though it's cool to watch the old season with him in it just like it's cool to watch Norm in the old episodes

[@cheshirehomestead3574]

Roger my man

[@timothydalton8023]

Roger does fantastic work and I believe he struck gold in hiring his apprentice. Seeing Tommy work with mostly hand tools made the show for me

[@ChibiPanda8888]

Sometimes, you just can't beat good ol' hand tools.

[@TheGreatEscape77]

Roger & Tommy are legends. love these guys work

[@lugoismad]

So happy to see your interns. I went to college, but honestly, I wish I could go back and go into HVAC or Plumbing. I'm way happier working with my hands.

[@brandonsmith666]

haha, no surprise roger has a flip phone. good to see him again!

[@ChibiPanda8888]

I think he's always had a flip phone. Sometimes simpler tech is better. (Not for me, though.)

[@wmeemw994]

Old timer and I also think that this was filmed as season 19 (22 years ago, 1999)

[@thomasledesma9446]

Roger is looking great! So glad to see him!

[@PaulThomasHarris]

I love to see the original cast of TOH, Roger teaching and passing on the trades. Tommy using hand tools, today we see so many expensive job specific tools that it’s impossible to achieve professional results.

[@clintrussell]

Roger is the best!

When Tommy started with the block plane (and looked like a low bedding angle to boot) it made the video for me. Along with a fine tooth pull saw they're the best tools going. Plus the house owner lady made exactly the correct responses ... at all the right moments ... obviously knows how to work a blokes ego ... and no mistake 😂.

Roger, I had a friend that kept her ANALOG flip phone until the end and was angry when they wouldn't keep that security leaking analog going just for her. Don't be her! They make things better over time. They learn things. You deserve better. Get a smart phone. You'll be amazed at the apps for landscaping. You will love them. I promise. Love ya dude.

[@t1n4444]

@@Kevin-mp5of Just saw this. Acting, yes quite right, and it should be recognised that Tommy has a stunt builder double to do the heavy lifting or finish a saw cut. He's far too busy doing promo photo shoots for ToH, or modeling his own range of tool belts ... suitably stuffed with Festool kit. Everyone knows that. And, I blame you entirely for this btw, he now has to have a voice coach!!! You and Glady (I think it was) and some "others" have given him a completely imaginary dialogue, in the venacular, that the producers have recognised the commercial value of said pronounciation and they have actually patented "move it'ova tree qwata nice'n'easy" as part of the ToH audio logo/sound bite library. In fact I believe there's going to be a spin off sitcom ... starring Tim Allen ( seeing as he had experience being Bob Vila.) For the rest of the demographic audience, so to speak, I have heard Cher will take the part of Kevin. I suspect her success as "granny" in MM2 makes it a no brainer the new sitcom will be a musical. Who knew?!

[@lucysmart1476]

I’m 18 an I think a big thing with getting kids into the trades is how much work it takes just to get a license now compared to going to college. Now I’m in the carpentry aspect but I would love to learn it all. But that would take a lot of time and if I wanted to learn about HVAC in three years I would restart in pay and such. 😕I wanna learn everything

[@ChibiPanda8888]

Yeah, it's taking me forever to get my A&P licenses (I'm a budding aircraft mechanic). I'm close to finishing my 2 year degree at my local technical college that would help me in getting those certifications. I admit it takes forever but it may be worth it when it's all said and done.

[@jamesfrancismchalejr7944]

I planted a small rose bush in my front yard. But not blooming . Any suggestions?

Would anyone happen to know which variety of Pine Shrub is at the entrance of the walkway and along the right side railings of the walkway Roger and Corey repaired? Thanks.

You're not "driving the glue into the hole," you're squirting it. :-)

That Tom...what a guy .

[@alec4672]

I know this isn't a big deal but when you take a picture like they did for the walkway try to take it as straight down as possible. You can judge size and distance better. Another solution to the chipmunks if you don't mind them on your property is to replace there tunnel with a pice of ovc.

[@jeffshearer5125]

Pvc, isn't a bad idea ,might help drainage to.

Dang Tommy invoked a little Roy Underhill on this one.

[@10tenman10]

Why not use polymeric sand to hold the pavers in place?

[@t1n4444]

A fair question; will suggest what was used was easier to blend in as a match for the rest of the gaps between the paviors.

Judging by your picture that would be a vlog on its own. That said you may discover your hormones are against you ...

[@mpwall123]

How nice is that? Working for Roger the dodger

That patch was horrendous! A couple of brown wax fill sticks would have done the trick in 5 minutes and would have blended in way better

[@t1n4444]

Very likely yes, but I will guess the sequence was a vehicle for Tommy to demo "one" way of fixing the problem. Perhaps he is contracted to be onscreen "doing something" for a certain period in every episode? And why not?

@@t1n4444 He would have still been onscreen if he used fill sticks. So I don’t get your reasoning

[@RickPO]

I agree that patch job made the eye sore bigger... Filler would've been the better choice... Tom is still a Craftsman and was just flexing his knowledge in the game

[@t1n4444]

@ Allow me to expand ... merely rubbing wax sticks over the "damage" could have been done by the lady homeowner herself. But, having Tommy do the job himself made for a nice segment on the program. He was able to display his skills, and probably quite as importantly for the sponsor, show this week's "Festool" in action as well as showing an ancient method of patching. What would you rather see, Tommy waving a wax stick around or watch him working with tools? Each to his or her own of course so no right answer.

@@RickPO No doubt, he’s one of the best. It just hurt looking at that

It's amazing that their national search for recruits just happens to select a white guy, black guy, and a woman. Totally by chance I'm sure.

[@t1n4444]

Exactly! Doubtless their demographic research folks have got a suitable mix to reflect the general community at large. We have a similar thing over here as a lot of the brighter kids twig that going to uni isn't all that. Whereas becoming an apprentice may be more useful "today". And of course anyone can do what we call an "Open University" later. Some schemes combine the two.

@Mie lee Yousin Hmm, I shall ignore any subtext and mention over in UK we have ladies who keep pace with (and exceed on many occasions) blokes in all engineering spheres. If ladies are kept back then probably need to look no further than the culture to which they belong. This is not a dig at any groups, it's what happens. Opportunities exist and choices are made. We have, for example, all lady theatrical companies who prefer it that way as you might say it's their "culture". Nobody thinks twice about it and they are measured solely by their productions ... same as any other companies. We have independent, and company, lady engineers in the electrical and gas trades. We have ladies involved in all the other aspects of building trades ... I would suggest however that they are not much in evidence in the trades which require heavy lifting ... after all ladies are not daft and don't, by nature or biology, get involved in "testosterone wars". In the sphere in which I have a particular interest we see independent lady boat builders. So, apropos genderism in UK building or engineering trades, we don't see it very often or at all. In fact such is their "independence" ladies can marry other ladies ... very, very, very, very few people object to this and most of us couldn't care less. So, if you are attempting to imply anything sinister in the choice of candidates on the ToH apprenticeship scheme then don't waste your, or our, time.
