i have been watching this old house here in the UK since the 1990's Tommy never ceases to amaze me, from jacking up houses with bottle jacks to re doing doors simply amazing, back then Richard even had hair :)
Hi kevinmatthews have you become a flat earther yet? If not I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.
I noticed that the door was thought to possibly be original to the house, yet Tommy said the veneer was pealing and the house was from the teens, 1900 teens. Was the door likely previously repaired at some point? When did applying wood veneer first start?
@@alexjones7845 I wish someone would do a special on how they managed to do that! We always assume the older generations were so basic of workers. I'd like to really know how much was really known and not just assumed by today's standards!
No. Silicone wouldn't have been used until after the middle of the century. Originally that glass would have been backed with natural rubber or maybe even just some oiled twine or felt and sealed with glazing like linseed oil putty.
A fuse panel was probably originally 60 or 80 amp. Even when some people change from fuses to breakers the entrance cables designed for the fuse panel are still only designed for 60 or 80 amps even though you have a 100 amp main breaker.
With the door to each as their own. I don't like door's like that with the big window because of the security issues. Anyone that breaks the window can just reach in and unlock the door. Maybe I'm over thinking it. I do love the show and have been watching the show for more than 15 years. I can see and easily watch hours of the show and enjoy every minute.
That's why if you have a window that close to your locksets, you get one that has the deadbolt keyed on both sides. That way, if one were to break the glass, there's no thumb-latch to turn. Also, it helps that the glass isn't close to the full height of the door, I'd go for only the upper half or less.
First of all that glass was half an inch thick, it would be easier to break the door down than the window. Second, it is very rare for a home break in to happen the way you describe; most people live in safe neighborhoods.
Good luck with removing an oil based finish with water or citrus based stripper. Sometimes you may not even be able to remove an old finish with the best kind of strippers avalible or even with chemicals like acetone. I could barely remove a finish from the 1920's or 30's with acetone, a propane torch and 20 grit sand paper. Theres even been times I could barely remove oil based paint with the best professional stripper you can buy, stuff that has the skull & cross bones image on it and that will burn your bare skin in about 15 seconds of getting it your skin.
Did u see the look on the Lady's face when Tommy said he was going to put a Piece of Vaneer on the Door 🤣 WTF Tommy a Piece of Vaneer on a really nice Antique Door over 100 yrs old that is so F#cked up
The door and hardware original to the house… let’s do a new veneer and a new door lock…. Cover the originality and do a less quality lock? That door wasn’t covered i ln a veneer just that panel, but now it is ha.
The door turned out absolutely beautiful!

Fantastic job Tommy. That door looks like it is brand new.
They REALLY love that door. 😂
Glad to see old quality craftsmanship, built to last, restored to a new life.
W/ proper care and maintenance that door can last another hundred years.
Love those old doors great job restoring.

I've seen old pieces of furniture from the 1890s that were built with veneer
The glass was set in silicone so at some point, some work was done... even if it was just replaced glass.

They have found veneered wood in Egyptian tombs.
@@gl15col Well that would prove that we are too full of ourselves, and technology existed long before we say it did.
Love this show!
Loved the door
Nobody does a dutchman like Tommy
Would silicone caulking have even been avaiable that long ago when the door was made?
No. Silicone wouldn't have been used until after the middle of the century. Originally that glass would have been backed with natural rubber or maybe even just some oiled twine or felt and sealed with glazing like linseed oil putty.
That door❤❤❤
Also, if the electrical panel has Stab-Lock breakers, the system needs to be upgraded immediately.
Q: When is a door not a door?
A: When it’s ajar.
I’ll see my way out…
could use electrical upgrade ... still 2wire and fuses here id be surprized if its even 100 amp
Its fine. He did the bare hand rub test and didn't get electrocuted
@@Kevin-mp5of you mean "Mumbles The Pretend Painter" ?

@@XzTS-Roostro I would be okay only with glass windows near the top of the main door to my house.

That's kinda what we have with our front door
12 gauge shotgun, if you're home.

Veneer was common for many doors in the early 1900s.
The title of the video should read (S19 E22), not (S19 E20).
Great episode as always!!
