- The old foundation gets modified for the new basement. New footings must be poured under the existing foundation and prep work begins to tie the old foundation to the new. Jenn Nawada meets with the landscape designer to discuss plans for the front of the house. On the first floor, Charlie and Tom Silva install a recessed beam in order to remove some of the wall that abuts the front staircase.

I could watch the Silvas all day!!!!! Butter!!
Loving this season so far.. most instructive, personal one we’ve seen in a long time.. can’t wait for more
Been a fan of This Old House for years.. Great to see its preserved..!
My daddy started working as a carpenter around 1948. How he would love all the innovations.
LOL Charlie using vice grips on the jack.
love this Tommy's legacy is as fun to watch as tommy well done both of you
so excited to see the end result! great job everyone!
Foundation work is fascinating.
Thank you man for all the great words you have brought to me God bless you and your family man amen
Oof, the silva brothers working together is just poetry in motion
This is my favorite show
wonderful seeing these guys working , great handcrafters
Love watching this old house
@22:33 let's clean this mess up.
I didn't know contractors could say those words.
Thee right contractor will clean up after themselves.
@aloras405 noticed you said contractor, singular, not plural. 😆
Finally back to roots TOH. Excited to see more from this build. 👍
Good show ... from California 😊
Use the biggest nails they had, LOL
seeing that lack of a foundation footer makes me nervous for my own cheapo house, no doubt it's the same way 😆
My old house needs renovations...
Question: How is it that the other 4ft slabs didn't just slide down like the one near the relief cut?
Ummmm they excavated the full length of the horizontal wall with a vertical cut to the bearing soil...😮
use 3D rendering for your plans
I have never seen something like this before
Seems to me that there's so little of this house that doesn't have to be replaced, that it would make more sense to save the few pieces that are salvageable, keep notes of which pieces those are, then tear the entire thing down, re-build the entire foundation with the new mods in place, then build the house back up from scratch, according to the modified floor plans, and put the salvaged pieces back in their proper places. Would make sooo much more sense!
I lot of times it just comes down to permits. Takes a lot more time and costs a lot of money to get permits, engineering, etc for a new build than to do a remodel.
You save money on a project wherever you can and the owners also have a nostalgic avenue they’re pursuing
In many states, the re-assemment of property taxes after a remodel is partially based on what percentage of the original floor plan is kept. A complete tear down and rebuild is not always the least expensive option long-term.
If they did that, then the show wouldn't be called "This Old House"
As old as the house is, they may be prevented by a historic designation.
Can you do a video about how to get insurance to over all the costs?
Sometime sentiment overrides your thinking
Hello. I live in an old house. I am getting stinky smells in the living room and near the attic access. The living room is over the access to the crawl space. The fire department read hydrogen sulfide. Sometimes the toilet gets stopped, mainly in the mornings. Do you know what my problem could be?
Why not usea positive placement nailgun?
Show more electrical and the rough in
To the experts out there, which is cheaper a renovation this size or a rebuild?
Jen is on 🔥💋🤗❤️😍
Need a burke bar.
No footing, time to pull the building permit and ID the building inspector and sue, assuming he's still alive
Youre assuming a permit was pulled for that, and if the wall was wide enough for say a single storey, it wouldnt necessarily need a footing with a wider base than the wall.
Roger? Still hanging in there?
I don't understand why people totally gut houses like this. Just tear it down and build exactly what you want. Or build exactly what you want on empty lot. Then everything is built to modern codes and you're not dealing with some screwed up foundation from decades ago.
I think is better take down this house and build new probably more heap and faster
These guys are idiots, they trashed half the house. What a waste.
Only if you’re not writing the checks.
Complete waste of money and resources. But I guess they got to make a show…
@@Kevin-mp5of and you don’t have to write a check for the owners or fund the show or watch it at all.
They're keeping the fireplace in the kitchen? That makes no sense.
Wish I was young and strong and full of energy, working in the construction industry.
recto-linear? 🤔
