My da (allegedly) got to meet him at a carpentry event back in the 90s, while New Yankee was still in its infancy. He kept a chunk of mahogany Norm had as a cutoff, and eventually used it in a handle for a butcher's knife he made. Norm's been a bit of a hero for our family. We didn't have Saturday Morning cartoons, we had Saturday Morning Yankee Workshops.
As an architect I like different levels, they help defining spaces without walls. But as beautiful as they are, wait till you are old and you will hate every unnecessary step.
I am redoing everything in my house. I bought the palm nailer to fit between joints where a hammer wouldn't swing. Now I use it all the time. Small space - no problem, awkward reach - no problem, save your elbow - yes. Buy one and use it for everything.
Good point, if someone breaks their leg, ends up with a sprained ankle, or has an accident that hits them in the foot or legs they'll appreciate this house a little less...
I am surprised they did not specify an 8" by 8" steel columns in a couple places for the various utility stacks. Just run one of those composite pipe liners down them to keep the water, electric and air from corroding the new "chase" that happens to be structural as well.
This house must have tested the patience of Tom & Company. All of the ticky tacky stuff you deal with on a normal jobsite is amplified by the layout of the house, the additions, the three different radiant floor systems used, no walls/corners being square, a ridiculous number of stairs, the homeowners wanting walls of glass that made plumbing and electrical more difficult, etc. I thought it would be an interesting project but all of the busyness takes away from anything interesting about it.
No, they're hanging it from the plastic studs inside the foam, which is cemented to the concrete. They can hold several hundred pounds of weight. Go back to Season 39 where they built the entire basement and foundation out of concrete surrounded by styrofoam with plastic studs.
That vent is going to be such an eyesore. Why wouldn't they get a telescopic downdraft vent? That's either a terrible designer or they really want a range hood to block their window.
Some of these home owners I hate, pretentious to no end. Artists HAVE to have north light. It is a must. You can't be an artist without north light. Michelangelo is up there painting the ceiling like no no there is not enough northern light to do this.
The insulation boards are called InSoFast. We discovered it last year and are considering it for a concrete block home we inherited from my husband's grandmother. Much to my surprise I watch this episode today and saw it being used!
I keep wondering that as well, because the Bilo company is based in Ipswich while the Trethewey Bros are based in Roslindale (Boston), which is closer to Coolidge Corner.
Kitchen exhaust duct is to thin ! It should be a thicker pipe to handle the heat and grease laidin air. Horrible setup plus that hot water tubing under the floor ? Would sure suck if there was a freeze up.
Watching this house remodel has been so hard. The homeowners have no idea about building or construction and have lofty ideas about what can happen in a "modern" home.
I like mid-century moderns, especially when a remodel is a tasteful balancing of house style and homeowner preferences. This project? Doubled the house size with the opposite-pitched roofs while being surrounded by more Classical Victorian or Colonial homes. Power to the doctor homeowners doing what they want with their property, but this project showing a mid-century modern on steroids isn't a great look 😬
Norm and guys I do no watch as I have travelled overseas and etc, your looking older, I saw your first year, and still batch watch in once a year or two.
CAT does not like the house. Too many staircases that humans can use. It will be drafty and the basement will flood. Tear down that wall Gorbachev. And start anew.
Having the crew go back to the old project houses is beautiful to see. Glad to see so many of the original owners are still there!
Oh man, it's so great to see Norm. I'm glad to see he's still looking good. I'd love to meet him more than any Hollywood celebrity.

Impressive when a 30 year old remodel feels like and passes for modern day aesthetic. These guys were ahead of their time

That Santa Fe house is beautiful.
Tommy is a great teacher
Best show on tv.
That segment of the adobe house is absolutely wonderful. I am going to look for all these episodes.
I worked for a home builder 12/15 years ago and those advancements and tools for heated floors omg so nice.
That adobe house is so beautiful. Such a dream home.
Nice to Richard not to pick up Norm's jacket when it fell. haha
Richard be like I ain't pickin up Norm's jacket!
How about if a little baggie fell out...lol
@@markr7018 lmao😂
Man that Santa Fe house is rad. Timeless.
AAh its so good to see Norm, Watched every single episode of the new yankee workshop
I love this program from New Zealand!
12:39 Great, now I want a palm nailer. I have zero use for it but I’ve got to have one immediately.

Well, that's the least handicap accessible house I've ever seen.
Naomi 👍👌😂
I'm tired just thinking about all those steps
🤣🤣🤣
eight is enough

John Wolf is the MAN!...Talk about Quintessential south westerner...So glad to see him alive and he looks to be in game shape still...
This is amazing
So much space and just three rooms.
Kevin is a fantastic host!
Muchas gracias a todas Amigos 👍👍👍😜😜😜
The fitness house, the whole aesthetic is "Stairmaster" for these folks EVERYDAY will be leg day.
The drywall and concrete get you another R2 so the whole thing is probably R12.
Them mariachis tho..total twist

And the house looks like it was dropped into a random lot without any thought of, "should a house really go here?"
The "exact same number of risers" or "the exact same height of risers"?
Now my question was how do you cut the bottom of the steps...that I'd like to know how that was calculated or did I miss something?
They didnt really explain that. Did they say how you actually figure out the size of your runs and risers?
I can tell this series is from about a year ago so does anyone know if the house is done yet?
Season 40 aired in 2019. It's done.
If one of them says celabrate something one more time , how do you celabrate a stove vent?
Where do they sell these track saws and what the cost
lol the range puts out 80% more heat than my furnace
what studs is he screwing into at 9.33?
So they're hanging drywall on a piece of foam adhered to a concrete wall?
Hanging drywall on plastic in a styrofoam wall... doesn't seem good to me either.
No, they're hanging it from the plastic studs inside the foam, which is cemented to the concrete. They can hold several hundred pounds of weight. Go back to Season 39 where they built the entire basement and foundation out of concrete surrounded by styrofoam with plastic studs.

Ill never buy a "modern house" A simple old farmhouse is what I want in a house. A simple old farmhouse is timeless.
There's a shortage of simple old farms.
You can always buy a piece of land and build your simplified farmhouse!
Does anyone know the foam insulation they used?
InSoFast
Shrinky Bob’s Foam-it-up!
You should be wearing gloves if you use that kind of drill to install drywall screws, it'll save your fingers from metal splinters.

Where can I find the foam boards?

This is a young person house, not an old person house. They will probably try to sell it by the time they are like 60 or 70
To be fair at 60-70 both Doctors can retire in any paradise they want.
All those stairs.....I wonder how many times they biff it
Anyone else not getting these vids in their feed?
I'm not.
Lots of complaints over the last month.
Me too, have to visit the channel myself to view the videos, cannot find them in the subscription tab
I counted 7
How come Richard is not doing the plumbing?
They use local contractors
@@TheNemosdaddy the job is local
I keep wondering that as well, because the Bilo company is based in Ipswich while the Trethewey Bros are based in Roslindale (Boston), which is closer to Coolidge Corner.
People fail to realize they will be older someday and have 3000 steps to deal with.
That's when you sell

I can't! 🙄
Kevin asking about "R" value again.
I’m not a fan of “mid-century modern” style homes.
@PragaMaterUrbium Id rather have a farmhouse its a style that never gets old.
I wasnt either but Ive warmed up to them and can appreciate the style but I wouldnt have one.

This place is a disaster.
Eight levels, in a not so nice neighborhood. No matter how good the craftsmanship, its a waste of money.
Ugh! 🙄 The idea of this house is great. I'm sure it'll be beautiful. However, it's NOT practical.
A simple farm house is what I want a practical home for generations.
Multiple levels is bad design, as it is not ADA compliant and excludes disabled veterans, such as myself.
😞
Anyone disabled ain’t buying a house like this. Not everything is catered to you. Give your head a shake
That is a horrible idea!!!
What?
Yeah what? Don't leave us hanging.....🤔
