I just realized Kevin Barker was the apprentice on the Jamestown Net Zero project. Even though he was pretty advanced at the time (6 years in) it is nice to see the progression.
That window casing was a beautiful piece of carpentry. Watch how Tom doesn't just give a hand. He is also carefully overseeing every step without taking over. Natural teacher. A rare thing.
I was keeping it all neat and tidy over forty years ago and I always felt good when any of the other trades or the home owner commented about how good the installation looked and how easy it was to figure out the layout of the house.
I'm sure that finish carpenter was freaking out the entire time having Silva help him, especially with the final install. But I'm sure they test fit it before they shot the scene.
Why was the shed guy's company design logo on his back blurred out but his hat along with the worker's jacket and hats weren't blurred out ? The cedar was bottom nailed leaving the nailed exposed, isn't it supposed to be topped nailed then covered by the next row/course ?
Blur the logo in a few of the shots, show it in others, and they call out the Reeds Ferry Sheds in the video description. Must have only given a 10% discount.
Typically, the IRC requires that a bedroom has a window for egress. But those windows are in a dining room / living room. Heck the windows themselves could have been fixed / non-opening.
@@nicholasjohn1001 go bang a goat TROLL. I’am a carpenter myself, I value the attention to detail. You know nothing absolutely NOTHING about Carpentry or fine wood working. Your just sad because you live in a basement and no one likes you. You come to UA-cam to try and boost your moral, well FYI your terrible at it. Bye 👋
@@johnlebzelter4208 you forgot to say you have small hands, finish carpenter. I don’t think Tom Silva asked you to suck him off. It’s still funny because you think you were right.
“We’ve made the shed to match the period according to the historic commission”. A house of that period would have had a very simple shed. No one decorated them like that.
The shed company gives the customer what they wanted. If you don't, you go out of business. And they had to get approval for everything so guess the historic commission was satisfied? And why wouldn't they show they best work they can do, with such a huge audience watching? Makes business sense.
Absurd $25,000 to $50,000 shed with whatever company's logo blurred out on the wrap for not paying up. Where do they find people with millions to spend fixing up no, recreating a crap style house from the ground up. I guess it always was this...
A 30% improvement to what was there, which is what they said. I suppose when the temps drop in winter one could hang a quilt over the windows. But then a pipsqueak will comment "That's a fire hazard!" -- even though it would be historically authentic.
I suppose we could all live in ugly foam boxes with no windows if R-value was the only thing that mattered. I will happily compromise in order to enjoy natural light streaming through a beautiful antique window.
Impressed with the electric install cleanest I've ever seen

I would love to work with Tom Silva on any project. The best!
This is a massive, massive project. But I’m impressed at the lengths they went to.
I was keeping it all neat and tidy over forty years ago and I always felt good when any of the other trades or the home owner commented about how good the installation looked and how easy it was to figure out the layout of the house.
Electrical panel looked amazing and organized.
A lovely looking house from the outside.
This whole project is amazing.
gotta love new England..the worker laying the patio stones were top siders @11:53
toh always gets a thumbs up. like the dodo, both do incredible work 👍
Imagine 140 years ago when that window trim was done by hand tools?
Tommy looked disappointed at the end. He wished he was the one who built it.
I'm sure that finish carpenter was freaking out the entire time having Silva help him, especially with the final install. But I'm sure they test fit it before they shot the scene.
Kevin’s work is of the highest quality I’m sure he wasn’t worried 😂
The external disconnect seems like a security issue.
Lock it. Keep a key in a fire department key box next to it.

No that’s how you always nail clapboard you nail cedar shingles in the middle
@@x-raymind7778 I was taught an inch to an inch and a half above the exposed shingle or shingle line

Casing looks a lot like mine, but mine is on the outside.
Need storm windows?
“We’re going with nice mahogany (=expensive ) storm windows”, custom made.
The storm windows seem to be a fire egress hazard? Should they be latched from the inside instead?
Typically, the IRC requires that a bedroom has a window for egress. But those windows are in a dining room / living room. Heck the windows themselves could have been fixed / non-opening.
20:23 Can someone explain to me that glue bottle? What is the red thing on the top?
It’s called a “Babe bot”
It’s got changeable heads, with smaller or larger nozzles to suit your gluing needs
“That’s perfect. I think we’ll take a 1/16 off of it, but that’s good.” 😂
Clearly you know nothing about fine wood working.
@@johnlebzelter4208 clearly you don’t know how to speak very well. It can’t be perfect, if it needs correction.

Now children, behave. I've taken 1/32 off to get a good fit. Really satisfying.
How much for me to rent and move in to the shed?
Are the sawhorses labelled so no one will steal them?
Who the hell are you?
Kinda tacky blurring out the shed company logos.
Probably some legal/contract thing where they couldn’t show it, although you see lots of the logo that they didn’t blur.
@misterpeanut718 more like they didn't pay for the advertising. Money makes the world turn, don't forget that.
One company is a sponsor of the show or network, the other is not. Guess which one is not the sponsor
I doubt if the interior woodwork was painted white when the house was built, so it's not a real restoration to original.
Who asked you?
They said before only the exterior is required to be restored to original, interior is not.

@@gl15col I'm just saying that the Historic commission is misguided or just plain stuck up.

The crown blocks are totally unnecessary
You are using the wrong screw for pocket holes
So, the exterior storm window changes the R-Value from about R-1.75 to R-2.275. Still terrible.

Working with power tools without safety glasses. Bad example for others.
Ok osha
@@johnlebzelter4208you see this a lot once there’s a couple negative comments it just comes in like an avalanche people love pilling on
Karen has entered the room
While they were building the storm windows, both wearing safety glasses...
@@x-raymind7778 oh I know.
Tommy likes to chase people. He's not as friendly as his persona. Actually, he's pretty nasty. Good carpenter, bad guy.
