This Old House | Net Zero From the Ground Up (S40 E2) | FULL EPISODE

[@chrisjmiller6]

Five great guys. We all grew watching them on Saturday afternoon.

[@shazz7494]

The end with Roger hit me right in the feels. May This Old House go on forever

[@netdog713]

Still crying from the ending. I've been watching This Old House since the beginning and it's hard to find a group of more decent people anywhere. Best wishes Roger.

[@TyinAlaska]

Love you Roger. You inspired my mother and father and I. My mother is a landscaper partly because of you. My father is an irrigation specialist and landscaper and owns his own business partly because of you. I worked for them both for 8 years from the age of 15. After serving in the US Air Force I decided, from my love of nature, which was inspired by you, to gain an associates degree in horticulture land systems management, and I'll soon have my multidisciplinary bachelor's degree focused in environmental science with a concentration on geography and planning. Hopefully a lot of good will come from my years to come of hard work, because I watched this old house when I was a child.

[@pavelow235]

The Roger Cook segment was touching. Good to see Norm Abram there too.

[@bbtank3000]

That tribute at the end for Roger was very touching. Glad they are at least addressing his health for us.

[@espowari]

Seeing Norm talk to Roger brought tears to my eye. Love TOH...

[@rytier07]

Stay strong Roger. You've taught me an unbelievable amount.

[@lostintime8651]

Why the big secret? Rodger had a stroke. It's not something he needs to hide.

[@milesj179]

@@lostintime8651 , right. I could see it in his face. I was thinking Cancer at first. Get well soon, Roger. 😊

I’m 49 years old and have been watching TOH for 40 Years since the PBS days. Have to say, still learning from these brothers! Bless you all, get well Roger!

Roger you have meant a lot to me over the years. Thank you for your work. Prayers for you my friend.

[@thomaslandry403]

Thanks for talking to Roger

[@ilichiregius2884]

Why do I get emotional watching Roger, though? 🥺🥺

[@luckyvet]

Godspeed Roger, all the best and thank you for all the help over the years!

Thank you TOH!!! I have been watching you all for over 30years. Your shows are some great memories of me and my dad spending time together!!!

[@djsi38t]

Because I watched WGBH Boston soooo much as a kid growing up,I was turned onto this old house.I was watching Dr. Who and 321 contact at about 12 years old when the ads for their brand new show,this old House appeared.It wasn't long before I was skipping school to be home when This old house was on during the day.Eventually I was influenced to take building trades in high school and went on to work almost 30 years in the modular home business doing what I love,working with wood!A lot of fond memories of Bob Villa.My mom thought I was crazy liking the show so much at 12 years old.

[@russrockino-rr0864]

We wish you well Roger, Thanks for all the great videos. I have been watching for the entire 40 years on PBS and KZbin. Great work guys. Thanks, Russ from Oregon.

[@KorgPa1x1]

Stay strong Roger. I've changed my backyard over the year's with you. Greetings and best wishes from London, United Kingdom 🙌🏼

[@LivingWithDragon]

Thanks for the update segment on Roger. It’s amazing how you guys feel like family after so many years of watching.

[@garyreardon11]

Roger has been one of my favorite pro landscapers.

[@alpersayar9532]

Loved to see Roger again... We wish you a good health...

[@benjamindavis7541]

I always seek your advice when working in the yaad, Roger. Then I approach the task positively, knowing it'll be done right the first time. Thank you for years of wicked awesome teaching.

[@The_Active_Region]

Best show and people ever. Learned a lot over the years from these guys. Would love to someday meet them and thank them.

[@laadoptada8246]

[@aaronvallejo8220]

A very cool and timely episode on renovating a 100 years old house to become net zero! My house was built in 1914. Over the last 10 years, I installed a R29 layer of insulation in the attic ($1,000). The increased interior heat comfort was immediate! I then had R20 insulating foam injected into the perimeter walls greatly reducing outside noise and increasing heat retention ($9,000). I then started removing all the old air ducting, natural gas heater and digging out the entire crawlspace for 2 feet of wiggle room to install R25 floor insulation beneath the whole house one bucket of soil at a time ($3,000). I then installed another layer of R29 in the attic creating R80 of insulation ($1,000). I then had the utility disconnect the natural gas line from the house and bought high efficiency, all electric appliances: stove, fridge, water heater, washing machine and TV. I then had a 3.35 kilowatt SunPower roof top solar pv system installed on my south facing garage roof. It produces 6,000 kilowatt hours of electricity annually ($15,000). I built and installed a 3 foot by 6 foot solar heater for my outside wall of my bedroom. It outputs 140 F of heat every sunny day. I then dug out all the old cast iron plumbing from beneath the house to under the garage and to the city sewer line. I had the plumbers install all new black plastic ABS sewer pipe from 2 showers and bath tub, 2 toilets and 3 sinks to the city sewer line ($5,500). I then turned off the city water and dug up the old outside water line and replaced it with blue and red PEX piping with shut off taps ($1,000). The next year, again I turned off the city water and cut out all the old copper and galvantized steel water lines under the house and had the plumber replace them all again with blue and red PEX plastic water lines ($3,000). Last year I installed a 80 sqft thermal mass electric heated tiled floor. It provides the best heat I have ever experienced: silent, even, warm on my toes and renewably powered ($1,000). This year I am hoping to install similar thermal floors in the living, library and garage's guest room room. While I still have 17 single pane windows, all 106 years old, in the house...I do not want to change them out because of their design character and the cost could be $30,000 and not worth it to me. I now have a renewably powered 106 year old strong house that essentially heats and cools itself with lots of original design character combined with high insulation and high efficiency and thermal mass for heating and cooling keeping us warm and comfort in all seasons with an annual electricity bill of $200.

[@sgvpotter]

i've been watching these guys for so long and they've taught me so that i am eternally grateful. These guys are like the coolest uncles ever. Thank you TOH for the update and stay strong Roger, we are all pulling for you.

[@shimonvizgan9235]

God bless you all I am watching and learning from you with joy for years . You are a family May god will bless Roger with good health for many many more years Love you all.

[@dzphotographic]

Get well soon Roger. Thanks for all your help! take it easy bud, you've earned it.

[@jeffkuipers1030]

shows like this helped me out time and time again when i didn't know where to turn to help to plumbing,wire my 10x12 back yard shed,hanging lights in the basement step by step from the breaker box to the wire to the outlet boxes. i have learned so much over the years THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.

[@allancampbell8274]

probably one of the best show on the tube for the last 40 years ask this old house

[@risingministries]

God bless you guys. I grew up with you and my dad was able to build his house because of this show.

[@richard_lindsay]

Great to see Roger. Touching segment, all the best to him

[@sambiscits6711]

I've watched This Old house House from the beginning, and like most viewers grown fond of Roger and what he contributed. Wishing him the best.

[@Sucherrie]

We hope you’ll get better soon, Roger..🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@tribulation138]

Hell never be the same. He had a stroke

[@ARepublicIfYouCanKeepIt]

Loved seeing Roger. Looking forward to many more episodes, now featuring his "finger pointing." 😊 Would love hear a breakdown of the various foundation systems TOH has used. When and why to consider specific systems. With concrete a major contributor to green house gas emissions, using two-thirds less than traditional pours is another side benefit to this old house's carbon footprint. Now if the manufacturer could incorporate the zero carbon concrete... Sidenote: I've been watching TOH since the very beginning! After a career behind a desk to pay the bills while raising a family, I struck out on my own. First as a handyman, then a contractor. Between DIY projects over 40+ years, and professional projects for the last decade, I can say that I've done pretty much everything from the foundation to the ridge. I love building things every day, and I owe an untolled debt to the entire cast and crew of TOH over all these seasons. Y'all are my heroes.

[@poohbear4130]

All the best to you Roger, the road we choose in life is often never the one we plan but it’s the journey and the friends we make along the way is really what we cherish! Thanks again my friend and gods speed to you!

[@dasaini]

Love seeing how everyone works together with the crane

[@aaqilian5.085]

Nice tribute/update on Roger. I definitely miss him on TOH. Wishing you great health and a long life Roger! Love from Canada 🫶🌈

[@teaganseyfang6349]

Watching this show growing up put a spark in me to grow up working with my hands and learning how to do things instead of always having someone do it for me I bought my first home at 21 and fixed it up to my likening all the way from new siding to a brand new kitchen I learned from the best thank you all, for your show and inspiring me.!

[@elevate32767]

Roger's monologue at the end of this episode will go down in the history of this show.

[@videoman4734]

I'm glad Roger is doing well. I remember him from when I was a kid.

[@patrickpress3102]

So glad that Roger is finally thinking of himself. It wouldn't be the same without his sage advice. Keep well Roger. I'm another of your English fans and between T.O.H. and T.N.Y.W I've learned a lot of things.

[@zebunker]

Most likely the producers are making him leave. Dude barley can talk.

Good to see Roger there. Best wishes for the rad ahead.

[@robertcookjr6100]

Many prayers for Rodger, and the rest of his team

[@vingreensill]

Superb technology applied to those foundations.

[@D_SQ]

My BEST to ROGER. That man is an inimitable workhorse and a fountain of knowledge. If anybody deserves a break, it's him. And like it was said by Richard, I already do not look at Landscaping the same, just from watching Roger's segments, and I am fairly new to This Old House videos. Also I really do not know where I have been all these years! I have a lot of catching up to do.

[@cybersurfer2010]

Love this show! All the best from The Netherlands...

[@grandpaLowff58]

That was a little emotional at the end, I hope Roger gets well soon and it's nice to see Norm again

[@viswanathanbv]

Rogers's a great guy. Good health sir.

[@adamsmith6843]

We love you Roger!

[@demagab]

Grabs the shingle even though he said "we have an issue with these" and releases it immediately after hearing "asbestos"

[@1prozzak6616]

and Tommy 'round the other side sticking his hands & face in a section of the wall busted up with the asbestos siding still on it.

[@Fusiongearz]

Glad to get an update!

[@michaelmclarry1409]

Best of luck to you Roger!

[@nancyboss7599]

I love Roger. Be well, old friend.

[@gorgev9341]

Love Roger hope you get well soon I don't know what is wrong with you but I think I can help , love PALAPAS

[@gpdewitt]

Have loved you guys for decades. Please fill me in on why the new foundation does not require a spread footing?

[@97marqedman]

Here in Wisconsin, we can take those asbestos siding shingles off ourselves and bring them to the local landfill. As long as you aren’t cutting, grinding, or shattering them, there’s no danger.

[@rehmsmeyer]

RIP Roger
