I guess this is officially the beginning of the end for Ask This Old House. I am 32. When all the other kids were watching Barney and Big Bird I was watching the New Yankee Workshop and Ask this Old House on Saturday mornings. You guys are almost family. The show will not be the same, cant say I will continue watching with new cast members.
I know we all have to retire and that's so sad . I will miss the old boys that going to leave show. Hope y'all have few more years left . I can tell you retirement is not so much fun. Ron from Ga.
Retire? Not necessarily. They can always move over to teaching in an apprenticeship program. That would extend their careers and transfer their much needed skills to a younger group of skilled tradesmen and tradeswomen.
Nathan will obviously be a lead in the next few seasons. Slowly like the others. I love how they “rotate” new/real people in on This Old House. And this episode is full of TH-cam content in 20 years. Haha.
:)...As someone that watched Tommy and Norm together back when Bob Villa was annoying everyone,And then did 30 years in the trades, It's so nice to see his son and to see what a good craftsman he is...His old man would have said he same thing back in the day; "Hey, it's swinging."... I remember when Tommy first came on the show and Norm was doing wood gutters, Tommy, scupped them out with a worm drive; Normy was cringing the whole time...:)...I guess Roger has been having some setbacks...SMH...I've seen these guys my whole career...You feel a kinship with them...I wish them all health and happiness.
Is it necessary or advisable to paint PVC brick mold on an external door? If so what sort of prep is required and the type of paint. thanks! Love your channel! 👍👍
I have a family room downstairs with carpet. I would like to put in tiles 4 by 24. long but I’m disable and can’t afford to pay anyone. So I have to sit on the floor to be able to do it. I just need someone to explain or throw my a video thanks for listening.
you can tell they don't work on vehicles much....what about sockets? breaker bar? vice grips. cordless high torque impact gun. angle grinder with sanding, grinding and cutoff wheels...
16:05 they removed door handle, then switched striker to opposite side (correct) off camera, the show them flipping the striker on camera, except they install it wrong way. It’s later fixed when they install door. Lol
While I would certainly be the first to say that a good quality tool is hard to beat, knowing which tool to use for the job and not misusing or abusing your tools to try to make up for a gap in capability is an extremely bad mistake. Trying to use a high-dollar wood chisel in place of a screwdriver is just begging for an accident. Between the choice of getting a single high-quality tool to start someone off and getting someone a mid-level SET of tools to begin their journey, the larger range of tools would likely be far better appreciated. Rather than have good tools that won't get the job done, you would at least be more likely to have the right tool on hand with the larger selection. Dont be afraid to gift multiple sets of tools! Having a small set on hand in the house saves many trips to the garage or shed, and having tools in the car can save you a big headache on the road. In addition, being able to loan out a small toolbox to a friend or neighbor is also good. A great idea might be to go down to your local Sears or other big-box stores and purchasing a set of hand tools in a case or toolbox. If they already have a good selection of hand tools on hand, you might like to upgrade with a set of power tools with matching batteries. Personally, I like the 20V MAX Matrix series from Black & Decker. I have the drill/driver, skill saw attachment, chainsaw, and cordless weed trimmer, all using the same battery packs. My next addition will be to get the jigsaw attachment. There are several great brand name companies out there with similar options available and in a reasonable price range, like Ryobi. Knowing your family members best also means you know their comfort level with their tools. Above all, try to stay within the bounds of reason. If they need saws for trimming branches, a band saw or miter saw is not going to help much, but a small battery powered chainsaw or some manual hedge shears or bypass loppers might do the trick.
This and every other TH-cam video seems to skip the part where it shows how you do the hole on the edge where the bit from the doorknob goes into to lock the door
Nathan is a talented worker. Isn't on the experience level as Tom just yet. However, as time goes forward, both This Old House and Ask This Old House will likely benefit from having Nathan and other new experts in the trades fill vacancies left by the original crew. We already see it happening with Jenn doing the landscaping segments after Roger retired. Nathan Gilbert isn't Tom Silva, but in the future Nathan could be the one giving projects to a new guy.
In the door project with Nathan Gilbert, it feels like Tommy is suppressing some negative thoughts. Tom's in the same funk during the intro at 11:37 and the evaluation at 22:09 -- and both segments appear to have been filmed after the door project was completed.
Scott Knight.. TOH did a video on using 'grey water' quite a while ago. Just make sure that you use soap detergent that is safe when using grey water for plants. They do sell it in the stores and it will be marked quite clearly on the packaging. Edit; here's the video.. th-cam.com/video/oNNnhCJGY38/w-d-xo.html 👍 🇬🇧
Rough confusion at 11:59. Kevin used quotes around "class" as in "class of 2019 college grads", but Tommy interpreted it as if the class was a fake thing.
Raphi S I know this is an old comment, but Kevin used quotes as if it wasn’t a real class.. Although Tommy did say it was a class, they had many apprentices on the show and Nathan was one who graduated from being one.

Gotta love they put these episodes on TH-cam for us.
Great job Nathan! Thanks TOH for putting this on TH-cam. It was great to be able to watch it again.

Hi TOH , I watched this episode on PBS , thanks for uploading it too TH-cam ! 👍😊🛠
I LOVE these videos! They are my most favorite videos on TH-cam! :D

Scott Tovey I remember watching these guys in the 90’s as a kid. They aged beautifully.
Nathan will obviously be a lead in the next few seasons. Slowly like the others. I love how they “rotate” new/real people in on This Old House. And this episode is full of TH-cam content in 20 years. Haha.
You must be reading my mind because for awhile I've been needing to swing the way a door opens in my house.
Thanks To All 👍
22:15 but what would you have done differently? :)
How about change from swing out to swing in?
:)...As someone that watched Tommy and Norm together back when Bob Villa was annoying everyone,And then did 30 years in the trades, It's so nice to see his son and to see what a good craftsman he is...His old man would have said he same thing back in the day; "Hey, it's swinging."...

ROB-IN-PHILLY that is Tommy’s son? I thought Kevin just said pops cause he’s old. 😂
It’s not Tommy’s son. That’s Nathan Gilbert. However, Nathan’s father has been on the show itself a few times. I think the first time was with Vila.
@@SuperKarlAdam Yeah, my mistake...Thanks for pointing out my shortcomings...I left it up to shame myself every time I go on the internet...
Great video...thanks!
My favorite part of this episode was the editor low-key played it off like flamingos are wild in St. Pete/Tampa.
Great episode. Shout out to St. Pete. Love the Skyway bridge.

Light sanding and exterior semi-gloss white is what I use, no primer.
why on the door hinges did you use such short screws?
That's what I want to know.
That’s all u need.
@@charlescho, Usually one out of the 4 is long enough to go into the rough opening framework of the door to make the door much more secure.
I'll never swing the other way. Lol. 🇬🇧
I wanna know what Tom would have done different.
Flip the glass window so the frame screws are inside.
What would pops had done different?
I have a family room downstairs with carpet. I would like to put in tiles 4 by 24. long but I’m disable and can’t afford to pay anyone. So I have to sit on the floor to be able to do it. I just need someone to explain or throw my a video thanks for listening.

I thought pine needles were acidic and would Kill other plants. Or is that just the northern pines we have up here in Canada?
16:05 they removed door handle, then switched striker to opposite side (correct) off camera, the show them flipping the striker on camera, except they install it wrong way. It’s later fixed when they install door. Lol
9:03 I too like to work with my butt

Did Nathan put the door sweep on backwards, maybe I should watch it again.
Are those leathermens multitool?

Where's the storm door ? Come on Nathan !!!
14:46 Tommy realized the home-owner is a dude. sooo...."Kevin, you can handle this yourself..."
X Y Z hahahahaha lol
X Y Z lol. Funny thing is, a contractor should charge a hundred dollars to say that where I live.
You mean the guy with the door didn't pay the door guy for his 8 hr. work. That sucks. Homeowner looking for a freebie. :)
Want to know how to drain my washer machine to my plants

Are these repeats? Heh, I just reversed the swing on a door...would have been funny to show the video of the owner forgetting it opens in now! (ow!)
xoxo2008oxox true lol, but theirs always opened in, they just changed the inside wall to which it faces when opened
Door is starting to rot on the bottom.
Why do you have an Illinois "Land of Corruption" license plate in the loft?
👍👍
These doors should open to the outside not inside. Would be much more convenient

Somebody buy Nathan a proper set of chisels, that dewalt novalty is embarrassing.
They are not Dewalt lol
Swap Door Swing should towards outside .. cheap hinges.. cheap door. USA all cheap?
Are we losing Tommy? I am not sure I am ready for this.
Tommy could start his own channel and probably have 100k subs in a week.
@@johnp556 I am sure he is ready to retire, run the business from a distance.

I watched this episode like a year ago, it's a re-upload. Tommy leaving that door job up to Nathan wasn't indicative of him leaving the show soon.
