This Old House | New Light in Old Windows (S42 E6) FULL EPISODE

Decorative Queen Anne style barge rafters are reproduced for the garage addition. The antique windows get restored and primed in the shop, re-glazed, and then returned to the house for installation.

The barge rafters on the Queen Anne style house are decorative, and the Historic Commission wanted to reflect that in the new garage addition. Tom Silva helps to route the design on the rafters and then they get lifted in place and screwed on.
Figuring out where to hide mechanicals is always a creative challenge. Richard Trethewey shows how Jeff Sweenor’s team solved the problem in the new and old parts of the house.
The original windows of the house are required to stay on the house and all need various degrees of work. Jeff’s master builder, Riley, got the job of refurbishing them. Kevin O’Connor talks to Riley about his process of evaluating the windows.
At Jeff’s shop, Tom meets them as they rebuild-and in some cases build-the sashes. Then the windows are primed and ready for glass.
Back at the house, they flash an opening and install a refurbished original window. Tom shows that the new windows which go on the addition are made with insulted glass and simulated divided lights that resemble the originals.

[@ChuckyLarms]

I’ve got a 150 year old house that needs windows and several updates. Y’all are more than welcome to spend an entire season fixing it up

[@jerushafoshee4000]

Glad I found this again. Once watched on PBS for a decade. Now on KZbin

[@JoseHernandez-wj2ud]

The house is starting to take form great job guys.

[@rayRay-pw6gz]

That house was a mess, a toilet in the kitchen area . How is that even to code. ? Also the replacement trim was put up and not painted first , why ?

[@pong86r]

i haven't been this left on the edge of my seat before. really can't wait to see what's next! i love it!

[@kiwdwks]

Nice project. Look forward to seeing more!

[@BradThePitts]

Did I miss it? What about the colored panes from the old windows?

[@jayburris6252]

Very cool

[@anthonyfigueroa7869]

Awesome

[@chet174able]

This is the home improvement show and that’s the window flashing you use

[@joshuaskirvin]

There's no way I'm spending that much on a house remodel and not replacing the windows with a more modern and energy efficient unit. The only requirement is that they look original. Most window manufacturers are able to make whatever you want. I should know because I work for one. LOL

[@lancevanvleet5013]

Is Jeff still around? Really enjoyed the show when he was the lead contractor

[@mitchdenner9743]

Its always good when your ductwork goes from 10 or 12 inch down to inch and a half within a foot. 🤯

[@pcappabianca83]

Air pressure anyone.

[@scundoorsup5342]

Wow ! Hand made wood windows …gulp

[@rayschoch5882]

Always happy to see millionaires find a use for their discretionary income. And of course, it's always interesting to see the TOH folks go about their business. Skills and technology we don't always see.

[@jank330]

Im no millionaire and have done reno on a couple of older homes one was over a hundred years I bought both houses cheap and was able to rebuild and expand to the same cost as a new house and sold for a small profit.

[@johnsee7269]

Me too. I'm always amazed by TOH's ability to find folks that can afford these multi million dollar renovations,. just jealous - lol

[@Dog.soldier1950]

If you go back they started with adding room or two or Reno bath,it just grew from there

[@PJJ196]

Don’t be salty about other peoples success, just enjoy the craftsmanship

[@MrCcnyone306]

Cry about it

[@mrsoccergod5001]

Never seen that house wrap.

[@PHamster]

Why no Heat Pump Only? :)

[@Egleu1]

Gas is more efficient at very cold temperatures.

[@ISpitHotFiyaa]

I get that this is what they do on this show (at least in recent years) but if you're going to gut something down to that level then I say just rip it down and build something new. If you like the style so much then build something new in that style. But it would be easier and you'd end up with a better end-product if you started over from the ground up. That's especially true when you're making gigantic additions like these people are.

[@aaqilian5.085]

It’s a historic house in a historic district, they can’t ‘tear it down’, dummy. Pay attention

[@brewsviews7870]

So about 25% of the original material is left. Cheaper to tear it down

[@BradThePitts]

They can't- see episode 5.

[@rayRay-pw6gz]

New zoning codes may make that impossible. I have seen where they leave just one section or wall up and build from there.

[@richardhammond622]

Is that Whitey, FROM ME MYSELF & IRENE

[@jacobosgood3513]

@10:24 Hey I spotted some actual "Duct Tape" as opposed to what you normally get (Duck Tape).

I thought covid was over

[@rerolley]

This was filmed a couple of years ago. Also, it is not over. Still ~1000 new cases per day in Wisconsin with 5-600 hospitalized and people still dying from it.

[@BradThePitts]

Filmed summer 2020, 6 months after February 2020. See episode 5.

[@jasony9950]

Well that’s a bummer about the window replacement.. a lot of work to make a fake window when you should just do it like they did back in the day. Don’t tell me you can’t… I know you can, they just didn’t want to

[@Egleu1]

Because of safety issues. Plus old windows had no efficiency, that's no comfortable.

[@brewsviews7870]

Safety and code

[@krockpotbroccoli65]

Its Karen government "safety" nonsense. 1/8" window panes shatter into big shards when broken and big brother doesn't like that, so they have to use 1/4" tempered safety glass on new production windows.

[@Egleu1]

@@krockpotbroccoli65 yea because people have been seriously injured.
