  • Not just interesting, useful!

    I recently discovered the This Old House Radio Hour podcast and thought it might be worth a listen. The current episode included a DIY tip for fixing gaps that develop in floating plank flooring. Brilliant! No more gaps and I didn’t have to spend $$$ on a pro. Interesting is great, helpful is fabulous!

  • A This Old House for the Next Generation

    Kudos to This Old House for making this shift into a new media. It’s also refreshing to hear the new voices on the show take the lead. I love the mixture of building science information from Ross and remodeling dad jokes from Zack. Great start and heres to decades more success making our homeownership better.
