This Old House | Narragansett Windows (S42 E13) | FULL EPISODE

[@BWIL2515]

Impressed with the electric install cleanest I've ever seen

[@davidparker9676]

As nice and organized as it looks, I'd rather not have it spread out on the wall like that. It would be a much tidier look going into the service with a few large conduits.

[@CDawg]

I just realized Kevin Barker was the apprentice on the Jamestown Net Zero project. Even though he was pretty advanced at the time (6 years in) it is nice to see the progression.

[@davidparker9676]

He could use some more energy on camera if TOH continues to feature him. His flat monotone delivery makes him seem disinterested in what he is saying. It feels rather labored and forced.

[@poeticthoughts06]

Electrical panel looked amazing and organized.

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

I was keeping it all neat and tidy over forty years ago and I always felt good when any of the other trades or the home owner commented about how good the installation looked and how easy it was to figure out the layout of the house.

[@davidparker9676]

It is always nice to see such craftsmanship in each of the trades. I marvel at the beauty and details of older homes. I'd love to see a renaissance of skilled craftsmen building homes rather than unskilled laborers we typically see nowadays.

[@I-Teee]

This is a massive, massive project. But I’m impressed at the lengths they went to.

[@trentondohse1851]

I would love to work with Tom Silva on any project. The best!

[@davidparker9676]

Tommy is the best TOH has on the crew. Norm was another lost gem.

[@bosse641]

A lovely looking house from the outside.

toh always gets a thumbs up. like the dodo, both do incredible work 👍

[@Skammerd]

Imagine 140 years ago when that window trim was done by hand tools?

[@davidparker9676]

Steam powered workshops and mills were around back then too.

[@smacdiesel]

I'm sure that finish carpenter was freaking out the entire time having Silva help him, especially with the final install. But I'm sure they test fit it before they shot the scene.

[@Sdjoinery]

Kevin’s work is of the highest quality I’m sure he wasn’t worried 😂

[@davidparker9676]

@@nicholasjohn1001 There is no such thing as "perfect" in woodwork. It is a natural material full of imperfections, all of it will move and shift over time and through the seasons. Tommy is straightforward and a craftsman, if it's good enough for him it is good.

[@michaelsheehan876]

The storm windows seem to be a fire egress hazard? Should they be latched from the inside instead?

[@SpringRubber]

Typically, the IRC requires that a bedroom has a window for egress. But those windows are in a dining room / living room. Heck the windows themselves could have been fixed / non-opening.

[@davidparker9676]

@@SpringRubber The house was originally designed to need those windows for proper ventilation. Making them fixed windows is almost as bad as replacing them with cheap vinyl modern ones.

[@davidparker9676]

It is only for the coldest months.

[@elizabethzieman1059]

I’m not seeing how that shed matched the house in any way, except for roof shingles.

[@davidparker9676]

TOH is basically an infomercial for their sponsors. They could have built a shed that mirrored the house perfectly but Home Depot doesn't have one of those to sell you with an installed price.

[@Cupofgo]

How much for me to rent and move in to the shed?

[@davidparker9676]

Only $5000.00 per month with a $100,000 security deposit.

[@BradThePitts]

20:23 Can someone explain to me that glue bottle? What is the red thing on the top?

[@Sdjoinery]

It’s called a “Babe bot” It’s got changeable heads, with smaller or larger nozzles to suit your gluing needs

[@leestebbins5051]

Casing looks a lot like mine, but mine is on the outside.

[@simonsonjh]

Are the sawhorses labelled so no one will steal them?

[@johnlebzelter4208]

Who the hell are you?

[@davidparker9676]

In the trades, you must label and mark your tools or else they will quickly become someone else's. When there are multiple contractors and workers on a site, one of the guys can knowingly or mistakenly scoop up your tools at beer-thirty.

[@1STGeneral]

Why was the shed guy's company design logo on his back blurred out but his hat along with the worker's jacket and hats weren't blurred out ? The cedar was bottom nailed leaving the nailed exposed, isn't it supposed to be topped nailed then covered by the next row/course ?

[@x-raymind7778]

No that’s how you always nail clapboard you nail cedar shingles in the middle

[@1STGeneral]

@@x-raymind7778 I was taught an inch to an inch and a half above the exposed shingle or shingle line

[@joelness]

Blur the logo in a few of the shots, show it in others, and they call out the Reeds Ferry Sheds in the video description. Must have only given a 10% discount.

[@simonsonjh]

So, the exterior storm window changes the R-Value from about R-1.75 to R-2.275. Still terrible.

[@SpringRubber]

A 30% improvement to what was there, which is what they said. I suppose when the temps drop in winter one could hang a quilt over the windows. But then a pipsqueak will comment "That's a fire hazard!" -- even though it would be historically authentic.

[@Alex.smiffy]

I suppose we could all live in ugly foam boxes with no windows if R-value was the only thing that mattered. I will happily compromise in order to enjoy natural light streaming through a beautiful antique window.

[@davidparker9676]

@@SpringRubber There is also the interior shrink film that helps the r-value in the winter.

“We’ve made the shed to match the period according to the historic commission”. A house of that period would have had a very simple shed. No one decorated them like that.

[@gl15col]

The shed company gives the customer what they wanted. If you don't, you go out of business. And they had to get approval for everything so guess the historic commission was satisfied? And why wouldn't they show they best work they can do, with such a huge audience watching? Makes business sense.

[@edrcozonoking]

@@gl15col I'm just saying that the Historic commission is misguided or just plain stuck up.

Absurd $25,000 to $50,000 shed with whatever company's logo blurred out on the wrap for not paying up. Where do they find people with millions to spend fixing up no, recreating a crap style house from the ground up. I guess it always was this...

Kinda tacky blurring out the shed company logos.

Probably some legal/contract thing where they couldn’t show it, although you see lots of the logo that they didn’t blur.

@misterpeanut718 more like they didn't pay for the advertising. Money makes the world turn, don't forget that.

[@jasony9950]

One company is a sponsor of the show or network, the other is not. Guess which one is not the sponsor

I doubt if the interior woodwork was painted white when the house was built, so it's not a real restoration to original.

[@johnlebzelter4208]

Who asked you?

[@gl15col]

They said before only the exterior is required to be restored to original, interior is not.
