Ask This Old House | Patch Lawn, Toilet, Off-Grid (S16 E4) | FULL EPISODE

[@deegarcia0208]

I miss Roger I'm a fan of landscaping his techniques help me with gardening. Hope to see more of Roger's vids

[@Off-Grid]

We are Off Grid and have around 4000sqft. It was only supposed to be 2000 but things changed during construction. No issues being Off Grid, glad we made the switch and have all the amenities as an On Grid home.

[@landmarkcreations1183]

When I hear roger say “stata fertiliza” it just hits me in the feels. Hope he’s doing ok

[@phase1geo]

TOH continues to be one of the best shows and resources out there. Thank you all!

[@BC_OPERATOR]

Rest in peace roger We miss you

[@scallywag1716]

Wow! An actual after lawn fix / care picture. Finally!

[@pizzanpepsi]

I was surprised that nothing was mentioned when water line was reconnected, to not overtighten it. This is one of the most important steps when installing. Maybe they were rushed, because these guys are usually top notch!

[@davidmatke248]

I miss Roger! He was one of my favorites. Hopefully he's doing better.

[@KodieS]

Toilet tip: Dump a bucket of water quickly into the bowl after you've drained the storage tank. It will force it to flush and only leave a small amount of water in the bottom. Much more manageable.

[@ConnorKennedy16]

Dang, I'd like to have a like 2-hour documentary on that dude's off-grid house. That's a very impressive setup that would be awesome if it was explained in detail

[@larry78cj7]

I miss Roger. Hard to imagine TOH without him.

[@MeredithFarms]

What happened to Roger?

[@MeredithFarms]

Mr. Meeseeks that’s awful I’m sorry to hear that...he does seem like a really good guy

[@donsuggs4150]

Hello, just FYI: the subtitles are for a different show. Might wanna look into it!

[@russellmoore8187]

Haha! What a fun accident

[@rrvette7953]

I fully enjoy all of the ASK THIS OLD HOUSE INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS . Thank You !!

[@ricks.1318]

Good to see Roger in an episode .....

[@oldtwinsna8347]

Old episode though. Oct 2017 airdate and so filmed in early 2017.

[@pointedspider]

Alright! Roger! Good to see u sir!

@Odorous Smegma No, I mean Roger! He's the landscaping guy!

Its good to see everyone in one video

Make sure to level toilet and use shims as necessary

[@brandongraser2939]

I love commercial HVAC systems. they are much better than residential systems

[@Howard007]

The homeowner of the off grid home… love when people say “ok” after explaining something haha

[@azeraeth]

Super cool episode. I'd love to see a more practical approach to even semi-off-grid for the rest of us in our regular sized houses - Battery, solar, geothermal. I know you've covered them a lot in the past though

[@possumbayou8238]

I had to replace the floor in the house I had recently bought. The toilet flange wasn't attached to the floor. I was planning on replacing the tile anyway. I got the house for a good price. I have had a few projects. That was the only thing that had extra problems The house is 80 years old.

[@joedasilva38]

Hard to believe that heat exchanger has not been utilized more in our homes today.

[@cheshirehomestead3574]

Roger my man

[@marvinkuznitz6250]

The subtitles are from an episode of "this Old House" that i saw a few days ago.

[@nopay066]

Yup, bc they're trying to conceive the type of saw Ole' Richie used. Try to guess.🤔

[@aaronmusquiz7630]

Hi this old house i’m a young kid is 15 years old and he likes to do construction plumbing framing electrical I really love your show I would love to be on it One day and to meet Tommy

[@bnasty267]

Tape measures usually have a keyhole (like a wall shelf would have) on the clip. Just find a screw that fits the keyhole, and screw it most of the way into the side of your workbench, face of cabinet, etc. You can just hand the tape on that. There, saved you $10 for a magnet, glue, and plate.

[@scallywag1716]

And added a place for your to rip / tear clothing or skin.

That’s some Oscar worthy acting there at the beginning of the episode

Kevin comes off as a jerk sometimes

[@idontmindpineappleonpizza8825]

[@Rearmostbean]

What kind of compost is being used? I did the topdress with compost to my lawn, and the compost became very hard and smothered a lot of the lawn. (Probably manure base)

[@DustinPlatt]

That off the grid dude is rich af.

[@ThatEMOguy74]

I live in North Carolina I was over in Pickens South Carolina last weekend small little town up in the mountains.

[@bunnyrabbit115]

Cool

[@cooldudeakatrevor9828]

You got any wooden handles on your shovel you should put some electrical tape at the top so you got some grip it is a good idea

[@br33zy771]

8:47 looks good. I give it one season till it's all patchy and brown though as there's no irrigation system.

[@robertgroover3316]

Its amazing how much "on grid" technology it takes to make "off grid" technology.

[@casperunnerup]

What kind of heat exchanger is used to get the heat from the air into the glycol? -edit. Never mind, it's obviously just some radiators

[@eternalzim]

On the next episode of TOH: How to remove toilet seal wax from your microfiber cloths.

[@scallywag1716]

Discard the cloths because you can’t get it out of microfiber.

[@MandoFettOG]

The subtitles for this video are wrong. They uploaded a regular episodes subtitles to this video

[@donnamarie4443]

My yard stinks. Just bought the house in October 2019. Crabgrass took over last year. This year, every kind of weed known to mankind is in my yard. Front, back and side. There's got to be an easier alternative than grass. Thanks for upload🙃

[@BridgeToMissions]

Why didn't he show a rubber toilet seal? Once you install it, it won't ever leak like a wax seal.

[@hunnybunny6801]

No shade to This Old House, but that area looks like a crime scene from an Forensic Files video where someone is buried in backyard!🤣

[@JimmyTurner]

I mean id say a rag to wipe up the water when it spills is better than a turkey baster..... takes less time too

[@Uncle-Bull]

There’s more water down there than you’d think. Trust me. Not worth listening to the wife.

[@elevate32767]

0:14 I've seen emotions of happiness on this show, but this might be the first time I've seen disgust

[@andyberry-zx2lt]

as long as theyre making dumb jokes, kevin dropped the ball on saying "Toilets- A to Pee".

[@dyizhere]

Is this an old episode or is Roger back?

[@garrettducat5769]

Older episode. The series is on season 19 now.

[@oldtwinsna8347]

Air date was 10/29/2017. Looks like it was filmed in early spring 2017 so over 3 years old now. Quite dated.

[@GT-ch8wd]

This off grid system would cost easily $100,000! That’s two lifetimes of power from the grid. 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

[@Uncle-Bull]

You’re smoking crack if you think a 6,800 sq ft house only uses $100,000 of energy over two lifetimes.

[@GT-ch8wd]

William M. You’re probably right! 😂😂 maybe 10 lifetimes is better? I’m from Australia so unless it’s in metric I have no idea 🤣

[@nancyinboise2160]

I found the off-grid segment interesting but not typical. I don't know why two people are living in the 6,000 square-foot house except for a person who is trying to have a bigger house tha their neighbors. Obviously this is not a typical retrofit which I would like to see more of in more of a standard size house. That person obviously has a ton of money to throw at their property

[@tom-fp2fv]

40kw solar set up for a husband and wife household 😂😂 there’s the problem straightaway

Has anyone read the captions on this video? Either I had a stroke or these guys are talking about prison.

I am so desperate I need your help the seven-year-old little girl put slime down our drain in the sink and now the tub and sink are both blocked I desperately need ideas we have tried wink we have tried five bottles of liquid plumber and now we have tried green goblin so need your help

[@michaeljaikeran9833]

Electric Snake it. Rent one from home supply store. The snake will remove the debris in pipes.

[@6point5]

you need to mechanically remove that. liquid plumber and other solvents won't do it.. it's just going to sit in the pipes. you'll need a plumber, or someone with a line/whip long enough to break up the slime in your pipes. best of luck.

[@Uncle-Bull]

Be careful if you do it yourself with a snake. That liquid plumber may come back up as you remove the debris. Wear heavy rubber gloves.

[@pizzanpepsi]

I bet you she won't do that again!!

[@jesseyoung9654]

Can we be serious for a minute about the off grid "environmentally friendly" mansion? No matter how many solar panels and heat pumps they install, they will never make up for the embodied energy in the materials required to construct that unnecessarily gigantic mansion. If you want to be really environmentally responsible, don't build 6800 sq ft to house two people.

[@ChickenPermissionOG]

solar does more damage to the environment. Takes up a ton more space plus all the rare earth metals.
