- The garage and funky porch above it have been demoed. To support a new covered front porch, Mark Mc McCullough and his crew poured new footings and laid block. To stay consistent with the existing foundation they will replicate the stone wall look with granite veneer. The homeowners don't want to see electric cables coming across their back yard.

Kevin finds Heath laying cable in a trench out back. Board and plaster is starting on the 2rd floor so Richard inspects the mechanicals that have been installed in the stud walls. Kevin meets homeowner Molly and her kitchen designer Michele at the Idea House in New Canaan, CT to get some kitchen design inspiration. Next up is a visit to a local appliance showroom to finalize decisions. An existing staircase makes the plan for a barrel vault ceiling below a unique challenge. Tommy shows Kevin his solution.

It's always good to see Kevin giving an extra hand around the job site. At the beginning of the episode he's helping Mark shape and place stone. Later, he's helping Tommy set up a barrel ceiling. Just because he's the host, doesn't mean he can't work. Every little bit helps. As the saying goes, "Many hands make light work."
I like this old house even more learning they post episodes for free on CZcams.
Mark shovels like a guy that's done a lot of it. slow and steady
You're the man Tommy, I was a drywall hanger for 28 years & hung many barrel ceilings and never had one go that easy, most of the time we would wet the drywall to make it more bendable.
Great job.👍🏻 And love the two sticks trick, wish I knew that back in the day.
22:15 Was it really drywall they used for the ceiling? How did it not crack bending it?

@@flat-earther two layers of 1/4 sheetrock, I would wet it the day before, set it up against the wall the long way "most of the time in the garage" because the ceilings were higher. And it would naturally bend over night. Done it many many times.
Tommy's barrel arch, pretty slick, Euclid
That stick trick tommy did was unreal. Everytime tommy shows up, everyone leaves the job site a bit smarter.
That guy is great. He has probably forgot more tricks in carpentry than I know!
Whicked smhart
That" "Stick trick" has been around for as long carpentry has been around. Look up framing square circle. It is the same thing just that he used an obtuse angle instead of a right angle. I did the same thing when I was working on a jobsite and the metal framers were standing there trying to figure out how to get the correct arc. Did the exact same thing. before they even had one idea on how to do it I already have the template done. I ended up doing the metal framing for all the windows in that building.
He’s a wizard
You can tell that homeowner really knows what she’s talking about when making decisions for the kitchen. The entire Cape Ann series was full of intelligent, practical, and functional design and thought. Kudos to the homeowners.
LOL! Just a woman cluelessly picking colors she likes and expensive things for the husband to buy. Does not in any way indicate she knows anything about anything.
@@ryanroberts1104 That’s where you’re wrong, pal. Have you seen the entire series around this house? You can tell the homeowners know the kind of features and niceties they want in their home.
"A little over $2400 for the wire."
That's among the few times they ever mention pricing on this show.
Love these vids, though they always remind me how poor I am LOL
me too, all this crap costs so much to do with contractors. We just did a bathroom and it was like 20K for labor and all material.
I was thinking as they were shopping for the kitchen stuff they should call it "This old million dollar house!" Its super nice to as a fella can dream and get ideas. Kind of a DIY myself and we are currently looking to buy and much older home if we can. Only issue so far is really lot size. I need a garage/shop and don't have the budget to have the house reno'd right away and add that.
@@Danman1972 trust me that's a multimillion house
Pretty slick Tom Silva...👍👍

Tommy Silva is brilliant!
Kevin has a sweet job.
See that wall-mounted toilet at 9:15? We have the Toto version, with a heated seat and the bidet feature. Great toilet; however, pay extra special attention to the mounting height WITH the toilet seat in place. Our contractor mounted it with the top of the porcelain basin at ‘comfort-height’ level, but he failed to calculate the additional height when the toilet seat was installed. We were barely able to touch the floor (At 5’-8” we were on tiptoes!) when seated on the toilet. The contractor had to tear out the tiled wall and drywall behind this device to lower it to a more useable height for us. Contractor’s plumber’s error = contractor’s expense. This ‘fix’ was necessary, as our house was designed and built for aging in place.

That's actually funny. I'm 5' 2". I'd need a kiddy step
I love the way you did that arch ceiling, nice job.
20:20 Wow such a neat trick to drawing the curve with the sticks!
Slick! Just learned about arches!❤
Did they mention where they got the reno lumber from? My house is all rough sawn, so a 2x4 is (roughly. LOL) 1-3/4x3-3/4, and it causes me no end of agita. I either have to sister offset, or I make my own with a rip and/or plane from a wider piece.
Nice...lotta skills
That was masterful. Tommy tought me something I will never forget. Thank you Tommy.
Yeah it was great.
Do you still remember what Tommy taught you?

Good vids, please show a lot more electrical work too next time, it’s very interesting!!!
Pass the joint (tool) lol
That's a new trick for drawing an arc for me. That was worth the price of admission for me.

I think it is telling that they refer to it as a building, not a home.
This is the Best show ever.
How was the drywall prepped
probably atleast 10 grand so you cant see wires from the kitchen window lol
Much more than that...especially in the land of taxes and permits.
It wasn't just burying the electrical service; it was an upgrade to 400-amp service. Burying the lines may have been the motivating factor at the start but they got much more out of it than just a cleaner look through their kitchen window.
He said 2400
in canada the utility company charges about 35,000 to upgrade overhead to underground , then about another 3-5000 for the electrician to install a new panel and get the wire from the meter to the panel. thats 200 amp. 400 amp is probably double the cost
Wall hung toilet is very normal in Norway and some of Europe.
Europe has the worst toilets. 👎
They are becoming very common in North American new construction. Easier to install, clean, and maintain
About all I installed doing commercial plumbing.
they are used commercially here in the US
Tommy happy
Funny observation, the more expensive the kitchen, the less the owners actually cook...
Weeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!
I grew up in rural IL in the 1950s and 60s and all uilities in town were underground in concrete pipe that never failed, because it was way below ice, snow, and spring floods. I cannot believe this homeowner went to such expense and hard work for the contractors to devise a way that they did not have to "see" those ugly wires from their kitchen window's view. First world prima dona problems.
what is your point?

Just my opinion but any time you can terminate a structure without putting a hole in your roof you should
Besides being efficient, induction cooktops also don't pour combustion byproducts into your indoor air.
I get the pros compared to gas but there are cons to induction such as not able to use in power outage and strong magnetic fields which may be unhealthy to stand near.
@@flat-earther I really prefer not to breathe any kind of combustion products that I don't have to. [Aside: My dumb Viking gas range doesn't work during power outages (although my older Caloric gas range could). The induction range I use is at my Dad's lodge, and is so much nicer than the gas ranges. He has backup generators because he's up a mountain! And yeah, if I had anything implanted in my body, I might avoid an induction cooktop. :)]
This one really is over the top. Four hundred amps up from 100. Sounds like a hotel. For three people. 😢
Tom Silva is a beast.
These home owners are filthy rich
Induction is awesome, never going back to gas.
I never used gas but i assume induction works exactly like gas but is much safer.
@@mr.wizeguy8995 gas is convection, induction is induction
@@walterbrunswick I just meant how it is to use like how fast heat changes or how fast it's heat up. Not actual physics how it works.
@@mr.wizeguy8995 I was just being a wiseguy😁
@@walterbrunswick More like smartass :)
Was that drywall boards that you bent into the shape??
nope just pushed into place which I almost guarantee it's got cracks or fell off the drywall screws. due to the fact above it, there are stairs.
@@GhostReaper2043 I just can't believe that drywall would take a shape like that without cracking or splitting as they bent it in place.
The drywall looks to be 1/4" thick which is used for curved sections. That's why Tommy told him not to go to deep when putting the screw in. You use 1/2" you have to wet it which is a pain to do.
@@grandn8646 Thin 1/4 inch drywall can easily bend around a curve. 3/8 or thicker drywall doesn't bend easily, unless you wet it or make cuts along the back.
Why would a single house need a 400 amp service? Running a supercharger station?
That's funny that girl is pretty surprised that the machine shows how many bottles they save, but that machine has been around at our job for over a decade. It's funny seeing people with technology that they have to pay extra for but unknown to them it's been in plain sight for so many years. Even LED lights that were on buses since the 90's and touchscreens been around since the 80's. GPS is old news when it finally came out after it was invented by the Navy. It's the most practical items you think is so cool and high tech, that is mostly old and been around for decades without anyone really knowing it.
Also this show is cool, but not for the practical homeowner. I own a home and it seems this show aims for people that make well over six figures each from a couple when they work on a house. I wish they made it more for the everyday homeowner, but I guess they do when they jump on a 8 hour flight, and drive to a small town to help someone that has a window that won't open all the way and then make a 5 minute video over it..🤔🤔😕😕😕

Seems odd to use a cast-iron pipe just to make the toilet quieter. A future of rust and corrosion seems like a high price to pay for such a minor convenience.
That cast iron will last longer than the homeowners and probably their children will be around.
didja make it colder than a witches toes mama ?

Grow house op lol?
In California, it never makes $ sense to heat anything with GRID electric power...which is an expensive, highly refined commodity... dumbed down and wasted to make heat. I refuse to believe that the inductive process alters this wasteful reality. Natural gas can produce heat at roughly one-tenth the cost of doing so, electrically... unless you own your own solar-powered electrical power generation system already.

This Old House has taken up the renovations of Multi-Millioneers homes. No longer simple one room renovations, they gut the entire hoem, and put back high end very exopensive products/labor for every item. Don't ask them o identify the costs, They refuse. Why? Thier embarrassed.
Kohler toilets don't work. Go to any other brand.

@@flat-earther I am aware the Earth is more shaped like a pear. How is that related to Kohler toilets not working worth a crap.
@@carlmax46 Yummy...
But there is no curvature so it can't be a pear, an oblate spheroid or any shape with curvature.
Many people have measured for curvature on large frozen lakes and found none but you don't have to believe them because you can test it yourself.
Not related. Come on it's a random suggestion & comment.
@@flat-earther Hard to know if you're serious or facetious. Actually with accurate measuring devices you can measure the curvature of lakes; the surfaces are not flat. In any case i don't care to argue with a "flat-lander".
I would be embarrassed to have the world see me bask in my own glory. But I suppose narcissism comes with the territory

Love TOH & the whole team but surprised that you are still building homes with gas heat & gas boilers. Gotta catch up & join the 90s guys!
what is the 90's, exactly?
@23:20 This episode was aired on tv back on April 18, 2020, probably filmed in 2019. I almost guarantee that ceiling has cracks in it or fell off completely off the drywall screws. The homeowner said she has kids so guess what kids like to do? they like to jump, stomp, and run up and down the stairs. And guess what's above the ceiling that's right the stairs. So I would be all surprised to this day that that ceiling looks completely different.
Depends, but if the framing is sound, there shouldn’t be and movement in the stair stringers
Tom Silva is good, but I did not like his way of going about that
@@walterbrunswick ya, it could be supported better
who are these people screwing in order to pay for such an over the top renovation. TOH used to be about people working to improve their abode. no longer
