I was born in 1985. Its real interesting to see the designs that we feel are so outdated as the latest/current for the time. Wow, thanks for these classic TOHs.
It seemed like 1985 brought another change for This Old House. The closing credits no longer had pages flipping through blueprints. They're now carded over a live-action scene.🙂
This season of TOH lives in my subconscious since it first aired in 1985, as a 12-year-old. These are founder memories than any actual human ever provided me in my past.
@@farmcentralohio Yes, in a perfect world. Sometimes you just can't plan your big 'ol dump though. I guess that's what they make Fabreze and these aerosol sprays for. Usually I find though that these aerosols don't eliminate the big 'ol dump smell, but bond with it and make some sort of hybrid fragrance that is both pleasing and disgusting at the same time. I really wish Bob Vila would have addressed this situation with the builder is all I'm saying.
try buying one of those now in 2020 for 66000. Although calling those a house down south, people will laugh at you. if you can hear your neighbor taking shower, that's no house.more like large apartment.
i was in HIGH SCHOOL 1985 LOTS OF POWER CORDS AROUND FOR MY DAD WHEN HE WAS BUILDING STUFF CORDS WOULD GET HEAVY AND TIRED OF CARRYING NOW EVERYTHING IS BATTERY ION POWER MADE IN CHINA JUNK
You'd like my Work Shed, 99% of my tools are corded after bad luck with cordless tools back in the NiCad days. Although I do have one cordless tool, my Impact Driver, but that's more for convenience.
Try $500,000.00 being 20mins from the White House. As every politician snatched them up years ago..As you have to have Maryland address. Why AOC got a lesson in Economics. As she had to revert to lying and paid her Boyfriend $250,000.00 a year. As her Campaign Adviser. Using Campaign contributions to afford a Townhouse.. Today honest Politicians just sleep in their office..
On his days off, Lucifer called himself Charlie East, plant manager. Vila would have been in real trouble if it weren't for the rosicrucian seal adorning the gold ring he wore on his right hand to gird him against true evil.
Bet Ryland Homes is regretting plastering their name on that cardboard sheathing?

Nope. It was a new and better product at the time. 35 year later, technology has advanced. It's how you learn and grow. Failure is the best teacher (not that this product was a failure).
Jesus. I never realized how annoying Bob is. He doesn’t let anyone speak, talks over everyone, and he acts like everyone he is talking to is 2 years old.
@ 1:56 What a jerk Bob was. Just ripped dudes hand off the piece. Wow.... that wouldn't fly if some fake TV contractor guy did that to me. He would have got pushed right into that ladder and his safari hat would have been knocked sideways,lol.
Wow your a real touchy prick huh? He didn’t rip it out of his hand nothing worse than a drama queen on a job site

Damned right! He did his job, Nanci. Removed the obstruction so the camera could see it. And BTW, peabrain, Bob was no fake. He was a well-known, well-respected vintage home restorer before TOH ever existed. That's how Russ Morash became aware of him in the first place, dumbass. The fakes were Steve Thomas and Kevin O'Connor.
I love watching these for that old nostalgia head rush.
I miss the 80s and 90s.
Still the best Host and most relatable when it was with WGBH Boston. Gave me inspiration to do a lot of DYI home repairs saving money!
Less forget that WGBH logo intro - just as iconic as the show - the best amongst all PBS stations..
I got tingles when I heard that WBGH logo, some things you can never forget, even if it's something small like that.

Glad to see Roger’s doing better.

Remember this episode perfectly! Thanks for upload.

The prefab guy sounds like Jimmy Stewart!
The house guy seems like he also wants to sell me propane and propane products.
Ha ha....the angry blonde kid who is beating those truss plates looks to be sure he didn't smash his finger at 5:40.
Looked like he did sloppy job too.
Josey Wilds they are all angry because they have reached the pinnacle of their working career!
I love the floor truss system! Zero problem running wires, plumbing and air ducts.
I ❤️TOH for years even as a child..😂😂…..but, that WGBH-Boston into never gets old…..awesome Synth sounds back then…….
Bob only asks salient questions
I was born in 1983. Construction has our futuristic.
Now it's a public housing project
😂
Have fun gettingg furniture upstairs.🤷
I wish they would put the whole series up
Subscribe to TOH magazine and you have access to all 40+ seasons, all episodes.
Hell, I would pay to have the whole series (With Bob Vila) on DVD.
I think this is 12026 Beltsville Dr., Beltsville MD.
I think you're right
Powder room right by the front entry? What if you had just taken a big ol' dump then someone drops by unexpectedly for a visit..awkward.
Normal people use one of the other powder rooms to take a big ol' dump, the little one by the entry is usually for guests lol

LOVE THE SMELL OF HUMAN FECES
MAKES THE LETTUCE GROW TOO
the small bathroom was for Norm to shit in, Bob would shit in the main shitter
They have vent fans.
He explains that to Vila when he asks about the vent hood above stove.
That thermoply "sheathing" they put on the outside walls is junk.
It’s space age tho
@@tjlovesrachel Challenger grade
Can probably cut through it with a utility knife.
Did anyone else see Bob Vila pull that guys hand off the pendent?
Yep. lol
I just noticed it
Bob villa and Norn were TOH. I miss both
I bet the houses are full of mold and the neighborhood is probably blighted, if they haven't been torn down by now.
Tim Taylor says hi, from Binford tools
Worker @ 14:08 nearly loses his balance and falls from his stance on at the top plate.
LMAO not even close!!! What are you talking about??
After watching the whole video would you trust the guy that was showing the house to Bob Villa? Reminds me of a cost cutting screw artist.
That giggle at the end got me 😂
With inflation that's a $142,000 house today.
Pretty reasonable.
It’s great when you have to attach something to your house
Pre-fab. Beginning of the end.
TOH has shown factory-built prefab homes in more recent seasons. It'll be interesting to compare the building techniques here with the newer episodes.
More automation,less jobs,lower pay comparitively.
"Space Age Product" 😅😅😅
that's fuckin' hilarious.
Doesn't matter if you put holes in it......as long as it's over the studs.??!
Ridiculous statement.
Hope they have better nail guns 40 yrs. later.
Man, expensive at $61,000! And a stunning R-13 in the walls!
I dont think that wall sheeting stood the test of time , i have never seen it.
PROBABLY RUSTED NAILS AND WOOD JUST ROT AND PEELED OFF AFTER 30 YRS
Me either
It’s space age

12 hundred then, 12k now.
It's the 1980s, not the 30s.
No cordless power tools back then I take it
i was in HIGH SCHOOL 1985 LOTS OF POWER CORDS AROUND FOR MY DAD WHEN HE WAS BUILDING STUFF
CORDS WOULD GET HEAVY AND TIRED OF CARRYING
NOW EVERYTHING IS BATTERY ION POWER
MADE IN CHINA JUNK

Bob come to bmore....ha I'm not moving to md
6:52 what?
That guy probably has some serious arthritis in his right wrist now.
$66,000...wow, in 2024 now this house may be between 300 and 400,000
$1,200 for new chimney, today that would be $12,000.
65k apartment. I can just imagine how much it’s worth in 2019. Hahaha
Probably about and that area 230000 to 250000 for that place in 2020 terms
Dan Simon's UA-cam channel probably way more
I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL 1986 AND YOU GE A APT FOR 50K OR ONE BEDROOM CONDO
NOW ITS LIKE 200K AND UP

On his days off, Lucifer called himself Charlie East, plant manager. Vila would have been in real trouble if it weren't for the rosicrucian seal adorning the gold ring he wore on his right hand to gird him against true evil.

Lollll it’s space age material
11:07 embarrassing voice crack from BV.
Bobs gotta come out of retirement and go into the inner cities and start a new series called “this old crackhouse”
HAA HAA PEOPLE WOULD USE SMARTPHONES TO DO THE WORK
WHILE SITTING ON THEIR ASS
One wonders how well those townhouses have aged in the almost 40 years since construction?
ID SAY THEYRE LEAKING NOW!
PROBABLY JUNK NOW
That development is Calverton Townes in Beltsville, Maryland, those houses are $300,000+ now
If you listen Bob 12 inches for the second time in 10 seconds
What happens when you can’t nail into a stud. Because it happens on every house
Amazing they weren't more critical of this sh#tty builder. It's like an informercial for him.
Is that product shown at 7:46 still available?
Those finuals wood be plastic. Today
Bob vila lol!
Bob a house ganster even though he would had built cheap houses for a profit
Jesus. I never realized how annoying Bob is. He doesn’t let anyone speak, talks over everyone, and he acts like everyone he is talking to is 2 years old.
Stay far away from houses built this way from the '80's. Factory prehab's have gotten much better these days but still not great.
I was born in 1965 so what
