I am so glad to see someone learning how to do things like repairing walls and installing HVAC. Around here, finding someone to do that work that knows what they're doing is a months long, frustrating process.
Houses of this era had horsehair plaster on lathe. Since riding horses or carriages in that day was so common, there was an abundance of horsehair to reinforce the plaster.
Lead knife, horseshoe nails.... the cement compound is my first time seeing it on leaded glass. Might have to broaden my glass knowledge & work on some older windows besides wood sashes. Not enough glaizers left in the world.
@@dlg5485 you don’t use premix with mesh tape. Premix shrinks. Hot mud which is supposed to be used with mesh doesn’t. I also have some opinions on using drywall compound over plaster

Must be based on some local experience, e.g. all these old three family tinder boxes going up in flames and trapping people faster than the fire dept can respond.
I can teach you a lot better way to patch. I worked in drywall for 18 years of the 34 years i worked in construction. Now I'm disabled because i hurt my lower back bad
@UCdqRn_A6r9VpQK0MfM03AAA i can see that. I worked in construction for 34 years and hurt my back in 2003 then had 3 surgeries first one in 2006 then 2007 and 2008 kept working until i was a construction manager the last 10 years. I live every day and I'm disabled. I have so much knowledge in my head
But if there's a fire, and they didn't install sprinklers, they could lose the whole house. Nothing is 100% sure, you have to go with the most likely scenario.
Expensive to replace plaster with plaster. Got to work with whats available. Direct from Bob Vila "Be prepared to pay as much as $10 or more per square foot to have plaster professionally installed. Compare that to the cost of professionally installed drywall, which averages $1 to $3 per square foot.Sep 7, 2022"

Good to see young people getting into the trades
Tom Silva is still the man
All low life trolls commenting on this guys post, except for myself.
Thanks for showing more ladies in the show! I would love to be a part of it, but I am from Norway, so that would be hard :P
Alright, I'm subscribed. Let's see what kind of DIY content you've got up your sleeve. And I didn't subscribe for cats and penguins 🤣
Move to the usa, get a job, and buy a house, then you will be on the show lol... easy said...lol

Tell us more
That woman knows her sh** when it comes to sprinkler systems
You go, Ronette 💪🏻
Happy new year folks! One of the few authentic channels left.
That drywall patch on the stairway looked like a relief map of the Andes.
Will you be installing a battery back up for the pump for the fire suppression?

The original fiber reinforced wallboard

I know all about brittle trim. I took a lot of old wood out of my 1920 house and it was so dry all you have to do is look at it and it splits. bummer
Basement stair! How many faceplants so far?
Why CPVC rather than PEX? I thought CPVC had pretty much died out completely since PEX installs easier and doesn't get brittle over time
For the plaster patches I would have used a hot (setting type) mud for the first coat
And what did they do for the buckled plaster above the patches?
I agree. Fiberglass mesh tape manufacturers even say to use setting compound, not premixed.
Poor Mauro

I have a question. If there’s a fire and the power is turned off. How will fire system work without power?
The fire will work just fine without power. It will systematically burn everything.
These comments are killing me.
Hey @thisoldhouse, what's the oldest house you have worked on? I'm just curious because my house was built in 1760. You should come by 😆
I remember them doing houses from the 1700's, I think at least a couple times.
Wonder what that fire system cost?

450 cups of water 🤷♂️
Please Why 23:42?

In my opinion the mandatory sprinkler system is silly.

@@Kevin-mp5of he does a lot of good work but watching him do those patches and the way he ran mud was not good
@@Kevin-mp5of o ok I've seen him do some good painting but he needs to learn from other people on some things

Some feel a little guitar strumming goes a long way.
Those sprinklers go off by accident top floor and it’ll do as much damage as that fire.
Ha yeah ok.
I'm from the government and I'm here to help you!

I'm not seeing as much Electrical work on TOH or ATOH
Cerberus
Keep it original put the plaster back on the walls
Helen's money is good here
Do not like the way to cut sheetrock (using knife) and board/door (drill holes), oscillating saw is much easy compare to methods in this episode
@@Kevin-mp5of I am talk about sheetrock in the video @2:49 , not relative to the wall
mauro is trash, he said you can't fix plaster walls and what did he do.
