- 1/4 - It's fun to see these "stars" from over 30 years ago. Bob Vila, Rich Trethewey, Norm Abram - all heroes of mine.
(VHS Tape transfer) This Old House was the reason I bought a VHS player when I could afford on in 1984 - just to tape the shows. As it turned out, I never actually watched the tapes. I know: what a waste.

These old re-runs remind me of being a kid, watching with my folks in the 80s.
Thank you for uploading this, seeing Norm's truck with the plow frame brings back memories of my dad who was a bricklayer in the 80s when I was a kid. It was interesting to hear Norm talk about how busy everyone was, little did they know that only about 5 years later the construction industry would take a huge down turn especially in the northeast, the phone stopped ringing for my dad's masonry business around 1990 and it had a huge effect on me in my teen years, now as an adult I'm a mason by trade and while 2010-2012 were some rough years for business it was nothing compared to what my dad went through and I absolutely take nothing for granted and try to get as much work as possible because it could all end at any time. It's really interesting to see how much the building trades have changed and funny to see Norm in his mid 30s, younger than I am now.
When I was a kid I loved to watch these home shows in the days when there was no HGTV channel..I actually remember this episode and this house renovation from when it was originally aired in 1984!! Thank you soo much for posting this!! A real stroll down memory lane! Bob Villa was soo young looking back then!!
Don’t worry about the loss of quality, it is the loss of the quality that makes watching these episodes awesome. Takes me back to when I was a kid when reception on the old crt was not coming in the best. Thanks for posting these classics.
What a trip down memory lane for me. My Dad would always tune into PBS (channel 19 around KC) at 7:00 every Thursday night.
Such a refreshing, decently "nice' couple!
Back when public television was worth watching
Back when Norm could still see his boots.
NOW ITS KINDA LIKE REALITY SHOWS AND MORE REALITY SHOWS THAT LOOK LIKE A SMARTPHONE APP
I love these old building shows from the 80,s. it sure does bring back memories !!! 😢🔨🔩🔧
"Can we get out of this attic...it's a little hot in here"
I had no idea This Old House has been around so long! I've only been watching since I was a little kid in the early 2000s. I'm 17 now.
I was watching back in the early-mid 90s as a kid and even then it felt like it had been around forever. I definitely consider it a big influence as to why I went into civil engineering haha.
I'm very old I remember watching the very first This Old House with the house in Dorchester
I’m 15 lol I watch all of them new and old
Simply times and good memories I remember watching that episode years ago and now after watching it reminds me that I am now old and that time goes by so fast
So old school, I now hunt houses internationally.
Bob Villa...the Alex Trebek of Home Improvement shows!
Bob was doing HGTV before it was a thing. A true pioneer. As a new homeowner now 36 years after this was filmed, I still found this clip really interesting.
Back to the Future was in theaters as this was filmed!
3:22 For Norm posing like a hunk.
Amazing that this is considered a starter home. If this is within easy commutable distance to Cambridge, MA it would be highly desirable $1MM+ today.
I love the older this old house episodes with Bob Villa the best. Can't seem to find them on tv airing reruns anymore. If you taped a lot of episodes please do load them. I would appreciate it lol
I didn't keep them... So sorry!
@@funnystuffcollector who would of thought they could be so popular.
I am here for the Vintage aspect. Thanks.
I was a couple years removed from high school from this episode 1984 brings back memories of this old House I've been a fan since the beginning which dates back to the first episode I believe it was 1979. It seems like this old House episodes from the 1980s it's hard to find any more considering most of it was on VHS begin with. I'm pretty sure I've seen every episode of this old House. It never gets old even go on back and watch some of the previous shows. I remember in the past this old House would go back and revisit previous homeowners for updates and to check in on conditions of houses that they previously built on the show.
Basically I remember this show when it was originally aired....
Thank You Still great to see.
I have 8 Full seasons 1 through 8 with Bob Vila if you want me to upload them I will create a whole new channel with all of the seasons in order just let me know if anybody wants them I may do it I'm just worried about copyright
Do you happen to have any hometime episodes or Home Again with Bob Vila?
Tech giant That would be awesome and much appreciated!
I just bought a 1920 Dutch Colonial. I could sure benefit from the episodes.

Robert Metter, what do you reccommend?
Does anyone know the town or community where this project was located? I didn't hear it mentioned.
Laurie's day...
Fun to watch ........ thank you ...... do you have more episodes recorded and going to post .. ?
Yesquiet Nope, sorry!
I wonder if there are any episodes of This Old House, where Bob Vila (Steve Thomas after 1989) and Norm Abram visit the houses of such classic ZOOM cast members as Dr. Joseph (Joe to all you ZOOM fans!) Shrand, Nina Lillie, Bernadette Yao, Leon Mobley, Maura Mullaney, Tishy Flaherty, Cate Wadsworth, Jennifer Gold and Carolyn Malcolm?
Both ZOOM and This Old House were produced by WGBH and thus were filmed in Boston and around, hence why I asked.
Proof that tall dudes get the hot chicks
I bet they were both basketball players when they met.
can u post episodes with steve thomas?
Bob Vila looks like Fidel Castro somewhat
Both do have Cuban roots!
I always recall this being the most boring show of all time in my youth.
Then you haven't learned much, watching it now.
You'll be thrilled to learn there are other things to watch on UA-cam. May I suggest Numa Numa: ua-cam.com/video/KmtzQCSh6xk/v-deo.html
Nope, the McLaughlin group takes that lofty honor for me.
I always recall this being one of the most interesting shows in my youth.
I pray you are more open now. BOREDOM means out of the Moment
