Around the corner from the front porch is a problem our homeowners hope to eliminate. The fireplace in the living room was tucked away in a small alcove next to the front door, and there was no way to enjoy it. Kevin finds Mark McCullough and his apprentice, Krysten Poulin, taking the chimney down brick by brick.
Kevin returns to the front porch to check on progress. Tommy and the apprentices have finished the framing and will move on to the stairs.
Kevin travels to meet the homeowners and their interior designer, then watches as they use computer software to drag and drop patterns and color to design the tile floors in the mudroom and powder room.
Back at the house, Joe wants a wood-burning stove in the family room just like the one he had as a kid. Today he's pitching in to help install the pipe. Kevin finds Joe and chimney expert Jonathan Hawkins on the second floor snaking the flue up through the roof.

/ thisoldhouse - Jak na to + styl
I was a pipefitter/welder apprentice in 2000 for five yrs and I have to say Tom’s cool, calm and assertive teaching style is in direct opposition to the unstable, deranged and unhinged teaching style I suffered through from some of the mechanics I worked with.
I made a pact with myself never to treat apprentices how I was treated during my tutelage/suffrage.
Preach!
"make it 6 3/4 to 7"...we need it today" lol Tommy is a savage :)
😆😅
I thought I heard that right
I was thinking the same 🙊
Tommy was cracking the whip! lol
I wish I could have a week with Richard that would be great. He is a wealth of knowledge.
ok
I would give anything to work alongside, and learn from Tom
Yes, one of the best. Great at teaching as well.
a amazing man period.
ok
Not many like him left.
My faith in CZcams has been restored by the discovery of these episodes and all the content given by This Old House
Thank God, the Almighty for all the videous on Ask This Old House on You Tube and thank all the people that helped to make it possible. God bless you all.
I would do anything to be an apprentice with Tom Silva. Talking bout learning from the best.
Exceptional crew, could watch all day, great job always
Lol at kevin handing out the tile printouts one by one back to the homeowners
The old house is a best video channel in America in yours type. Congratulations and greetings from Mexico
That cobblestone is in insanely good shape
“Do the Honors-Excellent-Great Job-Fantastic-Thank You VERY MUCH” only in tv fantasyland is everyone on a construction site the most polite-positive-upbeat people in the world lmfao
Great to see the next generation learning from Master Tommy! Learn well guys. He's the best!
For years I thought Norm was the best, now I think it's Tom!
@@speedracer2336 nah norm is the master carpenter
Love these videos, love this channel!!!!
Any idea what those porch footings are called or where I could buy some?
The woman making the porch will really hit him with the hammer if he keeps talking smack lol
I like how the apprentices always look angry lol
No messing with Tommy ha ha, "need it today". Love it!
3:00 Along with "What's the holdup there?". Tommy ship-shaping these novices.
Jonathan needs to be apart of this show more. So nice.
always waiting for the new episode!
"Too bad you can't design your whole house by computer."
Man, your mind would be blown if you find out about Sketchup, Solidworks, or any of the other CAD software out there 😂
That censor from 5:08 to 5:23. All right, then. Keep your secrets.
🤣🤣🤣
That happens in editing. With softwares luke Vegas Pro when you move something in the timeline and forget to close the gap of time somewhere else in the timeline.
I assumed it was a glitch.
ThisOldHouseGate!
Frodo baggins
watching Tommy work is poetry
"need it today" LOL
Tommy is the man I love his humor while at work...wish I could work with him one day
Is it common knowledge to leave a pitch on a deck when leveling a it ? Like is that what is supposed to be done when framing a deck ?
Water won't stay so long over decking boards when there is small pitch. That 2 inch is quite a lot though.
Thank God for full episodes again! I imagine this is before Covid since nobody has masks around one another but I'm down for reruns!
Cutting wood railing wearing a respirator with OV cartridges lol
How I would love for these group to come fix my mother’s house sunken piers. ( Don’t Carr for that ‘expanding foam’ that’s in Vogue).
We need it today. 😂😂😂
Those footings are wild. Very unforgiving if you knock it out of place with that frickin massive hammer drill. Somebody in 200 years is gonna be in for a full days work if they have to remove one haha.
22:25 - Did he really smooth the silicone with his work glove???
Don Abele watching that made me upset. Also, what an absolute shameful joint he ended up with.
Itll never be seen. It's not bath caulk
@@Fony_turgeson being seen isn’t the point though, is it?
What does it matter it's bad detail in prefabricated chimney anyway butt joint that for sure leaks someday.
@@mr.wizeguy8995 I would't want to clean that sucker from the bottom up or the top down.
Lots of free work being done by these apprentices.
Hboy954 .... "apprentice" means starting wage while "intern" means freebie worker here to learn.
"Too bad you can't design the whole house by the computer huh?"
Kevin, let me introduce you to CADD lol
So do you not reclaim your old bricks over there
Two storm collars? LOL
That whole system of the way they went through the roof looked half-a&&ed to me. Those collars need to be set in silicone, not just spread around the outside and that's just one thing that's wrong. The first collar at 21:58 was all folded into the roof hole. Just looked wrong, JMO.
The storm collar that went inside the roof is part of the attic insulation shield. That way blown in, or other insulation, will not get around the pipe. The pipe must maintain a 2" minimum air space for clearance to combustibles. As a professional installer for 20+ years, I assure you that everything I could see was done by the book. I didn't catch anything that looked incorrect. That said, silicone on storm collars are a common failure point and will need regular maintenance. But that is how it was designed, the installer did it correctly. Personally I'm a bigger fan of NPC terpolymer sealants, but that JMO.
Tommy the hard a-- great video!!
Rest In Peace Austin Wilson!❤️🙌🏽
Does anyone know what episode has the concrete blocks with channels on them to slide on the stone veneer? It was a stone wall but not very high.
Wow a lot of effort went into getting this house updated, I felt like was at the stage it could a made a luxurious crack house
Make it six & three-quarters to seven. We need it today! 😐
I will volunteer for some show to remolded my old house. 😀
Me: Aw man, my door is kind of squeaky, wonder how I fix that
This Old House: Okay so here's how you remove your chimney
Don't look up "worlds sexiest commercials" because there is one involving that is a WD40 commercials... apparently WD40 can fix anything from squeaky doors to squeaky stairs but it can't fix the squeaky bed that you hear from your bedroom when you get there..... remember guns don't kill people husbands that come home early do 💁♂️💁♂️🤣
"You're a computer guy though" is the oldest thing Kevin has ever said.
I noticed Tom's a little tough on the apprentices. "What's the holdup", "Need it today", and other comments.
@@bigroblee classic rib on the newbees. Thats what makes a person toughen up.. no room for snowflakes in the building world.
Not really. He obviously just meant that he works with computers in his professional life.
Notice the gloves disappear every shot after that 🤣
anyone know what the name of the blocks that were used when putting in the footers for the deck?
Forgot to edit out 3:24 ? 🤣
My house is more than 110 years old . Need a lot of work. This year I will see if I can do some stuff myself. If you need a house for the channel and you are in Pennsylvania. I volunteer my house.
Question about demo of the chimney, are the bricks reused some how?
"I like the blue here" *shows a clearly grey tile*
What is the site for the interior colors? or program.
What type of footing are they using at 5:48?
Fix your cutaway at 16:42. lol.
Kevin must’ve forgot something. Had to turn around and come back. lol
I helped build a flu one time. It was some of the hardest laboring I’ve ever done!
You've been to Wuhan?
Steven Knorr I see what you did there lol. I’m in the wrong party to do that😉
@@TheExcellentLaborer what party is that? The party of one
@@jomangeee9180 if you didn't find that funny then you ain't black
@@squirrellyboe7421 lol
Will I got the black screen block out everything don't like!! Other wise good info thanks.
what are those footings called?
How do I fix an old house foundation that is crumbling real bad in certain areas?
Who's tool bag was Kevin carrying?? Tommy's??
What kind of pier is that? I have a shed i want to build and I think that would work nicely.
Diamond Pier Pin Piles
What’s the name of the new style footer ?
Festool all around
Watching from germany, im wondering about those massive toolbelts, which seems very common in US. I never seen those in Europe or germany , but looks very practical.
You don't use tool belts or vests in Germany? Seems like that would be really inconvenient.
@@MrEazyE357 No, thats a total US thing. Either you can buy such belts, nor have I ever seen a homerowner or craftsman with those. You can buy small ones from Nylon, but not such massive ones.
Craftsman carry all important tools in their trouser pockets
"Tool belts" invented in England many hundreds of years ago, but in the shape of leather aprons as worn by blacksmiths/farriers. And still in use today.
Probably.
@Frank Silvers 😂
It's an invention all right ... but might concede it wasn't a British invention.
Suspect Neanderthals came up with that wheeze ... a few thousands of years back.
Probably saw a kangaroo and went from there 😂😂😂.
RIP Austin ❤
Mr. Kevin, I do not recall all the other hosts doing as much of work as you do on these episodes.
David Dye Bob Vila used to get his hands dirty too.
I think particularly on this project the budget is tight so a lot of the work falls to Kevin and the apprentices rather than Tom having to have more of his highly skilled and so highly paid labourers on site. Plus of course the homeowners are paying what Tommy called the "sweat tax" by working hard on the job themselves. It's a real back to basics project, nothing fancy.
No way you are driving three-foot pipes into the ground in New England and not hitting a rock!!!
🤣🤣🤣
Those footings are supposed to have end caps put onto them which have a conical profile that would assist with that... But, I'm with you there, here in the Ozarks, I can't dig more than about 10" without pulling out Basketball-sized rocks
@@robbie6625 New England is far far worse. It's all glacial moraine so you dig down about 6" to a foot and you'll run into rocks the size of a microwave and a bit deeper and they get to be boulders, that's why all those houses have stone foundations and you see the old farms have stone fences.
@@rjeefamily926 ... the saving grace can be the area around the foundation was cleaner fill if they used the rock to build the foundation during the original excavation. Of course there are times when you don't get lucky and they backfilled with junky stuff. I just went through this installing a water line for a home built in 1910. It was like doing a big dig on the History Channel to see the layers of crap they buried around the foundation!
I would like to know how to become an apprentice...?
hmm, Diamond Piers look interesting. I'll have to keep that in mind when I redo my deck.
No kidding. Save on time and concrete...
Seriously! I currently have posts that are buried in the soil. With these piers, I could cut to proper length, remove excess below, and drop the deck onto the outer without trying to dig down 3' below an existing post to pour concrete.
Way better than pouring concrete piers or footings.
I need a Kristan in my life
RIP Austin
Kevin walking around with his tool belt over his shoulder. Come on guy, you are clueless.
What’s the holdup? Need that today. Tommy is a mild mannered yet a true driving leader.
Not sure I like that footing?
Why does the video go blank at 5:09 until 5:23 just curious. . .
I would love to see how Tom is on a real job site
Tommy is giving his apprentices a hard time.
Everyone has fres tools. They must be doing pretty good
Not enough budget but custom tiles, nice move.
That putting that wood burning chimney took a lot of steps
Yeah, but you want to do it properly so it lasts a long time.
9:35 most annoying moment for any worker when you have to stop work so they can talk.
Can't afford money to fix structural issues, but can afford custom tiles? The owners deserve a kick in the head for that.
Nice to see some women on a jobsite - it drastically improves male behavior...the crudeness was something I always despised.
I REALLY wanna know what their budget is
At 5:09 you lose the picture. This sucks. Can you re-upload it so that we can see what you are doing?
DIY as long as you are GC.
I would test it out with scraps
The ginger guy will be the size of a house by 2040.
Wow, good aim - two birds with one stone.
6:16 I've never seen tools bags that new and clean, I've only heard about them in legends
They are apprentices
They don’t need to go below the frost line just because the angle of those pipes? Can anyone explain why?
the pipes act like a staple or anchor so the frost cant pull it out.
What computer program was that they where using ?
No s***, wouldn't that be handy info to put in the show notes???
You can sort of see the url at 13:07. Found it at www2.villalagoontile.com/tile-design-tool/
@@aoeex nice job! I considered that but couldn't see it on my small screen. Thanks for sharing!
What’s the reasoning for the 2x4 ledger with 2x8 over top?
Mark Heslep 2x4 was a spacer to get past the rock, I believe. Kind of a weak assembly, but the porch is small.
@@TheSteelArmadillo What should have they done instead?
Good question.
mrpiccolo23 mrpiccolo23 I’m sure an engineer would have a better idea than me. My concern on a larger porch would be the construction screws being relied on to provide all the pull-out resistance while that 2x8 is mounted so that it becomes a lever when the joists press against the bottom. The screws are very unlikely to fail in my opinion, but the 130y/o wood that’s already had some rot issues, how resistant is it to screws being worked out over time? Honestly a second set of piers up next to the house are the only thing I could think of to fix that. But again, it’s a small porch, so it will probably be fine.
@@TheSteelArmadillo they could've used some heavy lags, not sure why they didn't honestly. Maybe they just didn't show it.
What is 6 and 3/4 and 7 inches
0:38
Bornwell's quantum computer house is too much for This Old House.
Where is the foundation part?
19:53 Cut the camera while I beat the crap out of this insulation shield to get it in place.
unbelievable thin roof , my house the roof is 25 cm thick totaly stone, don't understand why roofs in the states are so fragil.
Do you recycle the bricks?
I think they do. TOH always try to save anything they can.
Need to learn to be patient with new apprentices. Teach them before you rush them. They don't know it all and they usually aren't as fast as someone who's done it for 40+ years. They'll remember the attitude that was given when they were still learning the trade.
Why two ledger boards against the house for the deck?
I think they were building it out because they couldn't put the larger ledger on directly because of the protruding foundation below.
Would be better to shim it with thicker blocks to leave cap where water can easily go through instead stacking a lot wood together.
@@mr.wizeguy8995 ... actually it should have flashing that starts under the siding and laps over the ledger board. Most likely they did it and didn't show in the edited version here.
@@rupe53 I forgot that you always cut siding away.
We never do that we install that ledger board over siding that way siding remain intact and water can't pass behind it therefore no flashing is needed.
@@mr.wizeguy8995 ... 20 years down the road I think you will find the siding has cracked or rotted. It's not really that hard to pry up the first course of siding and slip some flashing under it that's pre-bent to lay over the ledger board.
3:29 there he is...
Doesnt need to dig a 4 ft hole! ONLY NEEDS TO JACKHAMMER 4 poles, 4 feet deep
I noticed Tom's a little tough on the apprentices. "What's the holdup", "Need it today", and other comments
Hahahaha
I've always wondered if he is like that off camera. If so, he is an absolute dream
Apprentices also being trained to be "time aware". As in finishing a job, properly to a good standard and to comply with contractual terms ... without incurring over run penalties.
And of course you can say what you like to apprentices, and send them off on all sorts of fool's errands.
Probably establishing a pecking order so apprentices didn't get too cocky.
If arsed check out London apprentices ... or two or three hundred years ago. They often ran up against the authorities and latterly police constables of the day
Football being one of their diversions, with several hundred players a side, or sides if more trades got involved. Played through the streets and could get a "bit rough".
Yes, definitely need to make sure apprentices understand a proper work ethic.
Unfortunately you can't thrash them with a horse whip today ... more's the pity ...
Lol, he is being extremely nice for a job site. Probably because he's on camera. Better have a thick skin or that's not the trade for you.
That is by no means being tough on them. haha if you work under a journeyman who is paying you, you'll get it far far worse then that
