Show Summary

Status: Returning Series
Premiered: Oct 12, 2002

Kevin O'Connor, Tom Silva, Richard Trethewey, and Roger Cook take on some pretty big projects on This Old House, which means they can only work on one or two projects a year. Homeowners have many home-improvement questions for them on smaller projects. Hosted by Kevin O'Connor, Ask This Old House addresses these problems and answers viewers' questions from a renovated New England barn loft. And they make house calls.moreless

"Great"

By Sixty4thStRemo, Jan 27, 2012

I really enjoy watching your show. It really motivates me (I mean the wife)to get me off my Duff and to work on my "Honey Do" list....Gee uuhh...thanks!....
Anyway, your back-up sump-pump show was great. I have replace at least 10 or more myself. Mostly in the greasepits of several 10 Minute Lube shops. Nasty, messy, work when you add in all the oil and gunk.....Which brings me to my point, please make sure you have your people, homeowners/workers wear proper safety glasses, ear protection (gloves and clothing). It drives me Nutt's, when I see people on your show and others, using power tools, striking metal on metal and breaking down chimmney's and doing other demolition work without the proper protection.

Life lessons: My Brother is deft as a door-nail from years of working in a heavey machinery factory without proper ear protection. Personaly, while waiting to have a few fingers re-attached long (or short)story..... I will never forget the guy laying in the next bed at the ER with a 16d nail sticking out his eye!

"Abysmal"

By arizonasilk, Apr 13, 2011

June 17, 2006\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s show, a comment about living in mobile home was made. Cannot quote but goes something like this. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"I would feel much better living in a home with studs instead of bolts and wheels.
I live in mobile home that has been permanently affixed to the property, and by no means a low life. Because of my son\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s fathers unexpected death, I financially have no other choice. My son has been teased by other kids. Your show has created another set back. Not even God judged. Don\\\\\\\'t expect an appology but here is my info.

"Mediocre"

By amyshipley, Apr 22, 2006

Herbs will grow well under a wide range of soil conditions, with the exception of extremely wet, poorly drained soil. Popular herbs such as sage, rosemary and thyme require a well-drained but moderately moist soil. Poorly drained soil can be improved by modifying or amending the soil or by use of raised beds. Although they have little fertility requirements, herbs do better in soils of low to medium fertility.

The garden site should be prepared in the same manner as a vegetable garden: spaded to a depth of 6 to 12 inches, leveled and raked to remove any large clods and debris. The size of the garden depends largely upon the quantity of herbs desired; a good size for an average kitchen herb garden is 4 by 20ft.

More common herbs, such as dill, basil and parsley are usually available from local seed dealers, and those that are less common may be purchased from companies specializing in herbs. Annuals usually grown from seed tend to grow, flower and produce seed during one season and then die. Biennial herbs grow for two seasons, flowering the second year only, and perennial herbs overwinter and flower each season.

The show that lets you ask questions to the staff of "This Old House."

"Great"

By vicmackey31, Apr 17, 2006

The show where you get to ask the questions that come up during the filming of their regular "This Old House" program. If this is a show that you do not normally watch and you are sitting at home with nothing to do, you are going to wish you had it on tape. Having it "on tape" had become the generic term for recorded programs. Today you are more likely to have the show on Tivo or DVR than VHS, or god forbid Beta!! It is kind of like how a lot of people still call CD's "records" or "albums." Anyway, back to the show. This is the type of show that is really pretty good if you would just give it a chance. So on those cold, lonely, rainy days, pop in your tape or DVR or whatever if you were smart enough to tape it. If not, check to see if it is on as a re-run. After all, as they say, if you have never seen it, it is new to you.moreless
