This Old House | Saving What We Can (S43 E2) FULL EPISODE

Concord, MA is famous for the start of the Revolutionary war, but also for its literary celebrities. Appliances, building material, and radiators are salvaged from the house before the major demolition begins. Outside, an arborist sprays the old Hemlock trees on the property to protect them from an insect called Wooly Adelgid. Time to cut off the garage addition.

What I love most about this show is when rich people tear out stuff that is nicer than my house.

[@kingcheffrey]

Ditto and use the all the proper tools and extra help needed

[@Scubamike4499]

Nice to see things being salvaged and reused. All these reno shows where they sledgehammer the kitchen apart is a shame. Props to this old house.

[@greencello599]

Anything that can be salvaged and/or reused is a money saver. Especially if during demolition, things like mold, lead, or asbestos are found and need to be abated. Abatement is pricey.

[@TheChupacabra]

Makes the renovation shows more watchable when you aren’t seeing quick demolitions of useful items that could help someone else

[@TheMVCoho]

It seems nice, but in reality the cost of human labor makes it silly. The homeowners and show producers are riding the high from virtue signaling while actually being wasteful in terms of time and money. Good for them!

[@juliebarnett9812]

Yeah, all that sledgehammering makes me mad. What a waste.

[@m3mee2010]

This old house is in my DNA...luv it..

[@johnjamesterbeek]

Years ago, I recall watching a TOH episode where Tom was pulling the nails out of reclaimed floorboards from the back side with a pair of fencing pliers to save the face of the board from fraying the wood as the head of the nail is pushed out. I even think Kevin had the pneumatic nail remover and was showing Tom how well it worked, funny how times change.

[@kanderson-oo7us]

Sending old appliances to Haiti may feel good, but i work for an international charity - 99% of the time, you're better off donating items locally and just giving $ overseas. Shipping is really expensive and it's much better for the local economy to purchase new items in country. Also, US appliances are much larger & use more energy than those used almost anywhere else in the world.

[@tucksmith8300]

I have a niece who lives in Haiti

[@PJJ196]

So it can be embezzled? Give me a break man.. leave it to the Red Cross employee to complain about receiving donations just not in the way they want

[@gameeverything816]

I was wondering about this. I immediately thought wow, ship it all the way to Haiti? That can't be cheap. Who's paying for that? Wouldn't it be cheaper to just send that money and buy the stuff there? Basically I was thinking that can't be economical. It's not like you can email the stuff. Someone has to boat your old sink all the way to Haiti 😂

[@haplo819]

@@tucksmith8300good to know

[@TheMVCoho]

Don't ruin virtue signaling with practical logic.

[@probuilder961]

I like the diamond grit masonry style recip. saw blades...less dust, long life.

[@walterulasinksi7031]

A point of historical reference: the British were sent to Lexington and Concord, as the colonists had stolen two brass cannons from the arsenal in Boston and were hiding them in Concord.

[@patchadams4me]

Allegedly...

[@walterulasinksi7031]

@@patchadams4me “The History Detectives “ did an episode with the actual cannons that were appropriated. These cannons were never used in the conflict at Concord, they had been hidden and there was insufficient time between the theft and the response to get them ready for use.

[@timregan1005]

ooo this old house... restoring 10 million dollar homes for the common folk. i miss the early days

[@MrDbone75]

A very good Tuesday evening to you all from Wellington Somerset in the UK 🇬🇧

[@patirvin-bz9pg]

Concord is a very wealthy area. So, it's no surprise that this is a big bucks project

[@PatrickPoet]

I know I say this every season, but it's nice having Charlie there in front talking.

[@mrrepurpose9596]

Hard work appreciated.

[@MrPhotodoc]

I miss the old This old House.

[@johnroberts2444]

That looks like fun on that excavator, there's nothing like a cat ,a caterpillar that is !!! 😂😂😂

[@patchadams4me]

My favorite episode. I don't understand why people ship things to a family in need in Haiti. Why not a family in need in WV, PA or AR? My grandma, who was from MA, always said charity begins at home.

[@timregan1005]

why are our homeless veterans and addicts being left outside on the curb while people that aren't even citizens are getting beds and shelter in our kids' schools?

[@mikebarry6404]

Barbeque will be thrilled with his new kitchen in Haiti

[@2loco]

Yay a full episode 🎉

[@chineseredneck1211]

Surprised Tommy didn't build some kind of jig to hold the wood to hammer on when showing the nail removal from the floor boards

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

He knows how to pull nails with a hammer, he just wanted to be melodramatic to hock that air tool 💰 💰

[@bigs6566]

This old house…meanwhile at least 50% of the old house goes, “poof”.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

This Old House....Is Getting An Upgrade

[@PedroRodriguez-hy5ty]

Tommy and his son is the man

[@terencemerritt]

The men. Plural

[@johnroberts2444]

That's not Tom's son ,that's his nephew! 😅

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

​@@terencemerritt ARE the men, then. But they can simultaneously, individually "be the man" 😂

[@heyyywhynot]

Oh god when you’re changing the blade of a cordless reciprocating saw at least take out the battery. Unless you’ve decided you’re tired of having 10 fingers. 12:10.

[@mjay4700]

Or at least don't grip your whole fist around the serrated teeth when you do so!

[@TheMVCoho]

They are men, it will be ok.

[@rknotz187]

Charlie is a beast!

[@marianfrances4959]

You guys still rock!! 👍🇨🇦😎💫👌

It's ConcOrd, Kevin, not Conquered, Mass.

[@Kevin-wj4ed]

Time to retire you had a good run!!!!!!!!!

[@cm-ek4ci]

How old is this episode?

[@johnroberts2444]

It said at the end that it's from 2021

[@GhostReaper2043]

couple years old if you go to their actual website and look up the seasons the current 2024 season is season 45

[@garyhammond2213]

I think you mean April 19. Before the British got to Concord, they went through Lexington and the locals knew what happened there. I will say the people in Lexington are very curteous and will stop so you can cross the streets.

[@godbluffvdgg]

It hurts my eyes to see channel locks used on nuts and that bleeder...I'm a carpenter but Have adjustables for plumbing stuff...Channel locks are for under sinks or black pipe starting threading into a fitting...Just sayin. Jabronis taking down that addition...That excavator should have a grapple and a few dumpsters...Why make a mess and then clean it up? It's dumb.

[@randomreviewz]

This is really classic plumbers lament

[@2-old-Forthischet]

And here we are today. History about to repeat itself.

[@brushmasterspaintingfranchise]

@@2-old-Forthischet if you want to by cryptic so be it. If you want to actually explain yourself that’s good too.

[@2-old-Forthischet]

@@brushmasterspaintingfranchise you'll have to use your history knowledge as mentioned in this video. When Ew Toob hands out strikes for anything they don't agree with, one has to resort to creative ways to get points across. Have a great day.

​@@2-old-Forthischet doesn't it amaze you how willfully oblivious people are

[@BobbieJeanM]

A substance doesn’t have to be toxic for it to be harmful to your body. Oil or water in any ratio or quantity should not be inhaled. An N95 mask or respirator, whichever is appropriate for the type and amount of material, should be required during spraying.

[@gameeverything816]

You know it's funny cause I was thinking the same thing. 98% water? Not sure I'd even want to inhale atomized water all day and water is about as harmless as it gets.

[@tchads_57]

Maybe, but that water has been sitting in a tank on the truck. I’m sure it’s cleaned each day…🙄
