Geesh, finally a new house renovation episode. Been a while. But it seems like a pretty nice house allready. Maybe they should have just demolished it and built a new one. Just saying.
They used to always go over cost in the first episode, and I miss the days when Bob Vila, Steve, and Kevin challenged the homeowner if they weren't making good decisions.
@@Kevin-mp5of well, I don't have a show to watch. I quit half way through, and I won't watch any more of this series w/ them. When I think of the amount of money they are throwing at "fixing" this already beautiful and functional house, it literally makes me vaguely nauseous.
Location location location. The house is beautiful but dyi el cheapo renovations, haphazard. A bit here, some more there. Bring back the original charm outside and functional modern inside. The people who lived in these homes didn't have central air or heating. The family would gather in the living room next to the fire place. Play games, read, tell stories while servants took care of making the meals and cleaning. You didn't want your guests seeing the servants aside from a Maid or Cook. They stayed in the back of the house. Also you put your money, knic knacks, artwork in the foyer to show the guests. Now a days, home gym, home office. Computers, tv in every bedroom. Master suite /ensuite However i have wonderful news. It's not your house or your money. So since you are so interested in preserving the houses in the area, go buy a few and get started saving them.
Because every house is a compromise. They could have bought a house for the same amount of money that had the features they liked, but maybe not the view or the neighborhood or school system or whatever. You can build on an addition or move a kitchen but you can't fix the location.
Lol i remember this (TOH) episode three years ago Tom was dreaming about TOH during England Patriots era & that's big building new owner's have nice plans for it
We are a long time fans of the show. Now our 18-year-old house is in need of a renovation and we were wondering if the show is still on, if it would be possible to have our house renovation be part of the show? And what would be requiered? Thanks so much
unsolicited things to think about from a dedicated viewer 🥰 consider planting more regionally appropriate flowering shrubs in the landscaping. Lilacs and hydrangea don't support local biodiversity and are overdone in suburban landscapes and there are SO many beautiful native flowering shrubs that would do the trick and look gorgeous. Also - this house is huge! I find it wild that the architect says it's too small, curious what this show considers big? Thank you for mentioning that you'll be repurposing some of the materials! Appreciate not sending usable things to landfill.
wow. havent watched this show in awhile. kind of disappointed this is clearly a multi million work happening here. Whatever happened to helping people with regular people homes. 😢
I loved this show but we stopped watching 20 years ago when it became a show for how to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars. Whatever happened to sweat equity?
not to be a downer and this might not even be it, but honestly in the usual regions they work the price of home ownership let alone home renovation really isn't something accessible to a lot of people anymore... I did find myself bugging out at the kitchen a little, as someone who was looking at 1br apartments recently that kitchen looked primo luxe to me, not dated or small at all 😭
The repurposing they spoke of in this video is just the start. I figure 50 years from now it'll be a couple of garbage cans for the demo instead of a 30 yard dumpster.
It looks like Megan is in charge of this one, and her husband is along for the ride. Good on her!! Great house and totally agree the current layout is a hodge-podge of renovations over multiple decades and the house needs new life breathed into it.
Absolutely love the intro!
FINALLY, full TOH Episodes are back...
43 seasons??? You have to be F'n kidding me! Most successful show of all time
General Hospital - 60 seasons, various other soaps - 50+ seasons, Saturday Night Live - 49 seasons to name a few. TOH is up there though.
I grew up watching this with my dad - I am 56 now .
that skit was hilarious haha
Good to see you guys back and doing well, can’t wait to watch that being Rebuilt.
Wow imagine getting your house redone by this crew
"I want a gigantic house." Why are those words so hard for her to say? haha
OMG LMAOOOOO y’all getting dressed up makes my day 😂
Greatest show ever!
The sketch in the beginning is wicked cool!
wow that's a massive upgrade in square footage
love this show. It comforts me❤
Thank you, thank you, thank you!🎉
Wow, massive remodel.
A new episode and season of This Old House!? Finally!!!!!!!! LET'S GOOOOO!!!!
Love TOH and been watching it for decades now.. it would be nice to see floor plans in the corner of screen to help the viewer get oriented
LOL what a riot I wonder if they had Festools back in 1880 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh, it is so nice to have a new season! Great property. I like that the owners are interested in reusing parts of the mechanicals, etc.
Brent Hull would destroy that new facade plan. lol
Tell Richard I said hi and I like his work and I once unclogged my toilet. I’m 14 years old.

Excuse me, what's the cost of such an expansion? Could easily be two million dollars to make such vast changes to the existing house.
I was wondering the same thing.🤔
I would guess closer to $5 million. This project is massive.
They used to always go over cost in the first episode, and I miss the days when Bob Vila, Steve, and Kevin challenged the homeowner if they weren't making good decisions.
I just don't get buying a house that you want to change everything. Why not buy a house you like?

Right on. But, maybe it was a lot cheaper than the house that they might already like and/or the location was better than anywhere else.
@@janking2762 as much money as they are clearly prepared to throw at redesigning this house, they could've afforded a more expensive one they liked.
Location location location.

I have missed you guys.
the first scene was just to hilarious lmao...
Wow, haven’t we aged, probably 20 years I have last seen an episode
That acting job is just top notch loll
I see this is from 2021. Good to have a new season but please catch up.
20:52 that's an outhouse not a shed
Those homeowners definitely think big!
Lol i remember this (TOH) episode three years ago Tom was dreaming about TOH during England Patriots era & that's big building new owner's have nice plans for it
Great opening 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
2021 here we come.

"In this episode, to impress the homeowner, Kevin points to his new Mercedes in the driveway."
Listening to her describe all the work- they obviously are doing well financially- WOW. I get the views but that house is NOT too small .
Great intro
Fun intro!
I think what she means to say is she wants a full demo and a rebuild. I bet she saves money that way
In 1672 my 8th Great Grandfather, John Hoar owned a house in Concord in which Louisa May Alcott later wrote "Little Women".
My goodness! Why not just build another house?
I'd like to know how much that is costing. Why didn't anyone mention "solar"?
Nice intro! Was hoping it would keep going!
So what does this massive edition cost? 1 million+ ?

This was last years yeah?
So 800,000 to purchase and another 500,000 to remodel? Just a guess.
A lowball on the remodel…
That remodel will be closer to 7 figures IMO
Would be interesting to know, but my guess is just over 1 million. Stuff like this always costs way more than you'd think.
@dave.23. been watching the next episodes, yeah, I see the price going much higher than I thought.
It's tough to say, but it looks like their "remodel" is a new 6,000+ square feet house. Add a 0 to your guess for $5 million.
Andrew Sidford. Riiiiiiight. Seems to me that David Carradine didn’t auto asphyxiate after all!
23 min. is ok but we need a hr long video at least please 🙏
Love it
Tell Tom and Richard decades ago that This Old House will be starting with them dressed with them acting in colonial garb LOL
wow. havent watched this show in awhile. kind of disappointed this is clearly a multi million work happening here. Whatever happened to helping people with regular people homes. 😢
That ended 15 years ago at least every home is now for the super rich

…wasn’t the previous season all about an insurance recovery from a fire with budget constraints on any improvements?
The repurposing they spoke of in this video is just the start. I figure 50 years from now it'll be a couple of garbage cans for the demo instead of a 30 yard dumpster.
Do we not shake hands anymore………
This is not an old house.
It looks like Megan is in charge of this one, and her husband is along for the ride. Good on her!!
Great house and totally agree the current layout is a hodge-podge of renovations over multiple decades and the house needs new life breathed into it.
yaaaay!
opulent
Wait, this is old.
😀
"I think it'd be great to do.." " THANKS US TOO" lmao wtf
That's just how they roll. This old house used to be renovating classic old houses. Not ginormous builds like they are now.
Wow. A stainless steel refrigerator is dated.
LOL.
20:50 NAHHH WOMAN. GET RID OF THAT MURDER SHED. STRAIGHT OUT OF A HORROR MOVIE.

What a gross display of overbuilding.
I though every house was from Canada, but its all in the US.
Not all. There was the house in London and the house in Bermuda.
@siedliko I “thought” you could spell.
@@johnlebzelter4208 did I lost a T? Thank you good sir.
Old episode, hate all that covid talk. What a preventable nightmare that was. You hear me "Dr." Fauci🤦
And what medical school did you graduate from? Oh, that explains everything.
Your comment was a preventable nightmare. Until you posted it. 🤦
Take your livestock medicine.
They should have just bought a different house for gosh sake!!
