Great comment Michelle. My grandfather was a master builder and died before I was born but passed some of skills down the line to my late Dad and then on to me. I cannot confess to being a kid when watching TOH but I have seen every episode from every season - sometimes with my daughter Michelle sitting on my knee ! Stay safe.
It's like every home improvement show at this point. "We're operating on a budget here, but we're also doubling the home's square footage." I know people have different financial situations and concepts about what a lot or a little money is, but dang, even I took pause when I saw that garage appear.
Must be nice to get a free house from your parents, and then have the money to double it in size. Honestly, the house doesn't look all that bad the way it is.
@@mrpiccolo23 It's quite small, old and weirdly planned (see the old fireplace). They want an in-law/granny suite for the future, so they have to put money in - it'll be worth it.
*WOW* !! *EVERYONE from TOH AND Mike Rowe* !! *GREAT combo* !! *Yes, we do NEED someone helping with the skills gap* !! *Can NOT wait for rest of this build* !! #ThisOldHouse
Great idea posting this to UA-cam! I never really knew any different growing up, my dad fixed everything around the house including the cars, we could not afford contractors or mechanics. But you would never know how much I learned by holding a flashlight or grabbing a tool from the tool box. Looking forward to this series.
It gave me a chill knowing Mike is safe and sound. I get through my college years watching Mike in my dorm room. Glad to see him still got his funny moments
The apprenticeship program is awesome! They need to bring back that sort of stuff in school too. I been watching this old house for as long as they been on TV up until 2017. I've missed it since I haven't had TV since March 2017; these on UA-cam are really a treat! I don't have internet at home but I do have hotspot on phone so I watch on my computer on hotspot. I wish I had those old windows they pulled out of the garage, I want to build a greenhouse using many old windows.
When you see a worker putting on a respirator, safety glasses, white jumpsuit and gloves that means one thing. Abatement. Lead, asbestos, and/or mold. That is going to eat up a percentage of the budget for sure. However, with two little kids, you need to be sure that they can grow up healthy.
It kills me to see the garage demolished like that! My garage doors are old, and that one is WAY prettier, the regualr door is nice, and I need one for my garage, and the roofing under the shingles, are really nice, and mine are all messed up from the old owners using old/used not matching, types of wood. If this was close, I would have happily removed all of these things, and helped clean up!! We're in the middle of a renovation, and are happy to use someones old stuff!
I'm so glad to see young people learning construction, I've been working in construction for 34 years and i didn't see younger people get in and at the same time i was watching the older guys retiring, I'm afraid there is more retiring than getting started
What a beautifully done ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU ! The instructions and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Ryan got another winner! No one does it better!
Proud of you all for the years on TV and the distribution of your vast knowledge. I think I have seen most all episodes and enjoy revisiting them online. Thanks
Just fantastic! TOH was very inspiring to me when I was becoming a Journey person 35 yrs ago, and now have 25 yrs in set building in the film industry. Thanks TOH!
I think this show is great, but I wish they worked with people who don't have tons of money. Even this family's "limited budget" is pretty big if they're doubling the house AND building a second house essentially in the backyard. Also, if they want people to work in the trades, they better start paying trades people $22+/hr minimum.
this will be far more pedestrian than the last season's mid-century modern. their expansions are all living spaces and their HVAC would've needed to be updated anyway even without any renovation at all.
@@robgeach8105 12:21 I'd hardly call their plans budget-minded though, they're basically adding another building, removing walls and ALSO building out one room on each side, aside from other "updates"
@@austinhamann704 you realize when people say "removing walls is expensive" they're talking $5-10k for a beam most of the time, not a new BMW. it's the same for expansion framing. so long as they only put new finishes in new expansions you can make a tiny house 2500sqft for an extremely cheap 15 year mortgage.
I’d love to save more houses. I love them and the history, and the families that have lived there. I’m not as young anymore, but I’m still active and working on my old house everyday.
i like the initiative for getting the trades filled with workers. BUT there is a big but to this. this industry pushed the good workers out by paying less and using foreigners. now all the sudden it's not working out for them. well the first thing that needs to happen is a very drastic pay increase or else this new generation of workers isn't coming. trust me i know. i used to be one of them. no money in it anymore. people can't survive on small salaries.
Yeah, you're right. I posted this reply to another comment: In a lecture Norm gave a few years ago, an audience member says that people won't go into the trades because the wages are low. A plumber's company charges $90/hr for the work, but then the plumber himself only gets like $12/hr or something low. Very good point in my opinion. Norm said 'wages are part of it' but I don't think he realizes that its really a super important factor. If hard work won't pay, people won't do it. *** Also, I'm not saying you think so, but I don't think immigrants are the problem. They deserve good wages too!
Wow, Roger is looking great, glad too see him back. And I’m so pumped there’s more episodes. Love this show. Wish I could get them too come too Ohio and do my place. It’s got so much potential.
just through the first 12 mins... first time watching this... i'm going to say their budget is somewhere in the 200k-250k lol... pay that off in a few years and done
"He gets the kids, you get stuck with me." - Kevin always making some jokes that are borderline sexual innuendo! There's an episode in S40 where a chef is demonstrating an induction cooktop to the woman homeowner. The chef says he doesnt like to break up the pasta noodles when cooking. Kevin says, 'Who doesn't like a long noodle?!' and the woman bursts into laughter. Hah!
One of my favorite seasons, but would have done the house differently. Yet not my house. Theirs to enjoy. One thing I always hate to see is demolishing of a project like the garage, Put a feeler out for someone looking for wood, trim, etc. And some people would gladly come in and take it and recycle it elsewhere. (if this was not the case here)
When I took down my old garage, I took it down, piece by piece. Then I hooked a tow rope to the framing and my F150, and pulled the skeleton down. That was 40 years ago. Built the replacement by myself. Good old days.
Question: 11:47 garage as-is 12:22 future garage, ADU "granny flat" above for his parents to live in during summer. WHY build something for in-laws (who will age) above a garage, also necessitating the driveway work Roger and Kevin talk about with a retaining wall? Where Roger stands at 18:32, why not have that as the limit for a ONE LEVEL two car garage (as planned) with granny flat BEHIND? That area doesn't scream "heavily used part of yard" to me 🤷♂️
@@edbouhl3100 Limited budget usually means 100 to 150 K in 2020. This is way over that. But I guess for This Old House if its under 1 Million that is a limited budget.
Fireplace was likely in corner of room BEFORE stairs to second floor were moved to that location to free-up original stairway location or when second floor was added in midlife of home.
Went on Mikes website as I'm 28 and have always wanted to work in a trade. There's no real useful information to get into the field in there. It's more of a donations solicitation site. It links to a join post site but they all want 3 years experience and all that. Where does someone go to to get the learning and job placement in construction? All these companies saying they're understaffed, where are they? I'm ready to put in the work but it seems no company is willing to put their money where there mouth is. News flash: I got rent, I'm not leaving my job to go to school on my dime, that's not reality.

@@mrpiccolo23 I've been consuming a bunch of DIY content here on YT in order to prep for some home updates and renovations that tradesmen have either quoted me astronomical figures or just flat refused to show for quotes. In one channel out of Ontario (DIY Homerenovision), the guy mentioned that in Canada about 60% of what a tradesman will charges goes straight to the gov't (said it's about 50% in the US). That much overhead cripples earning potential because then the folks have to charge a crap ton to pay the gov't, operating expenses (licenses, permits, ins/gas/maintenance on a vehicle), not to mention union dues, etc. I can see why I was quoted $7k for some electrical work and almost $10k to get my fireplace/chimney fixed.
@@jasonmconnors US business tax on net income is somewhere in the 30s% range. However, big businesses often pay 0% or less than 0%, even though officially their rate is about 21%. (See NBC News, April 2019, "Twice As Many Companies Paying Zero Taxes") How do they get away with that, but the small business contractor has to pay the full rate? The govt does need the money to provide fire-ems, military, road/highway, police, and other services.
@@mrpiccolo23 didn't mean to imply by my previous comment that it was all income tax. There are other ways the gov't can lay claim to monies earned by way of licenses, permits, tolls, fees and the like. Not to be taken as an all inclusive list. I'm planning on trying to tackle some electrical projects around the house and still trying to find a single resource to consult for compliance. There's NEC but also state and local law/codes that frankly I don't have the time to become a SME on. However, I don't want to do some hack job either.I also have no idea what scope requires a permit or inspectors to come out. Just trying to orchestrate such a task could drive a man insane. All I'm looking to do is add some outlets, switches, fans, and recessed lighting to poorly laid-out (and implemented) construction from 70 years ago. I considered trying to rewire the house with modern day romex in order to rid myself of the ungrounded, cloth-wrapped cabling in place but with the added complication of repairing my almost 1 in thick, 3-coat plaster over plaster board, I decided that could wait.

Michelle Marie I’m in the process of buying a house and I’m addicted to the show. I’ve learned a lot from it.
Overlaying the house with the blueprint visual is awesome. Please continue doing so, lol.
Who else wasn’t expecting that blueprint addition after all that talk of budget.
I was feeling bad she had to get new cabinets because of her budget, then they’re like outside laying out The Vatican.

It's like the nexus of the trades universe!
This is awesome to see. Much respect all around.
I know this is an old season but it's good to see Roger Cook again. Hope he's doing well.
I miss Roger!!
I appreciate the initiative to be more inclusive and welcoming to the next generation of tradespeople, rather than to blame the generations❣️

It gave me a chill knowing Mike is safe and sound. I get through my college years watching Mike in my dorm room. Glad to see him still got his funny moments
Watched these guys when I was 10ths old
Makes me sad to see life before COVID. Lets hope next year we're back to normal.
They have a “limited budget”.. but paid $25k just for a rain runoff system for their new house extension 🤔
I wish I had that kinda budget..

Norm Abraham and Mike Rowe! Whaaa, I remember watching New Yankee Workshop as a kid on tv!!
I was impressed with the recent "Extreme Makeovers" but it's good to see TOH has returned to their WGBH roots and normal-people budgets.
I remember watching this old house 1st season with my dad man that was great still going strong. Love this show.
Love Mike Rowe, great narrater and host!!

$500k budget goes fast when you want/need to redo everything. Lol.

Laundry in the second floor ..how smart I had the same idea ! As clothes remain in that floor !!
Please tell me you guys are uploading all episodes again like you did with season 40! I liked that!

This is a great video but shame on UA-cam for not marking this as seen back in 2020 when I watched it the first time.
Looking forward to this, a build with a reasonable budget.
Any time you move walls out its not a limited budget.
The show turned into us just watching them restore a house. The home owners used to pitch in & still have to pay for TOH for their services, lol.
I don't want anything bad to happen to Kevin, but I wouldn't be mad if somehow Mike Rowe took over as the host of This Old House.
The in-laws should have a lower floor place since as you older is hard to walk up the stairs.
Glad to see Roger!
One of the best shows there is
Question:
11:47 garage as-is
12:22 future garage, ADU "granny flat" above for his parents to live in during summer.

for good wages to exist, a skills gap is necessary. good pay and benefits only exist when employers have to compete for employees.
I never realized till now but Mike rowe sounds exactly like Anthony Bourdain.
Nice to see Roger looking more healthy.
huge man-crush on Mike Rowe, will watch anything with him in it
Ultimate combination!!

@John McCloskey Definitely not a cheap redo but the young couple seem realistic about how much they can bite off now and what they can’t.

It looks like there was a sleeping porch that was badly enclosed on the second floor.

Fireplace was likely in corner of room BEFORE stairs to second floor were moved to that location to free-up original stairway location or when second floor was added in midlife of home.
I was waiting for these episodes to start up on YT since for whatever reason, I don't get these episodes on my local PBS channel.
