ASK This Old House | Mini Split, Butcher Block (S19 E13) FULL EPISODE

A nicely made and sealed butcher block should last 50 yrs. Even years after when it may split a bit, it is so rustic and beautiful
At last, back to the original colors of the show on cut scenes. I like it more this way, thank you.
I have been watching many episodes about the mini splits, and also have two friends in the HVAC business. After hearing about the pros and cons, and why it is important for a professional to install them, it is appalling to know there's a manufacturer on Facebook that tells people that anyone can self install their own mini split system.
Definitely not a diy project, but if you're mechanically inclined it's doable. I installed mine up to the point of vacuuming the lines. It made more sense to pay an HVAC guy $400 then buying all the tools/nitrogen. He also signed the warranty for the unit.
Mini splits are a DIY project. Between Government regulations and greedy Contractors, I understand why a DIYer
would take a project on like this. I have friends that are Politicians, General Contractors and Mechanical Contractors.
Know your limitations before undertaking
any DIY project.
It’s easy to say it’s DIY when you think global warming is a liberal conspiracy. Refrigerants are a horrible greenhouse gas (tens to hundreds of times worse than CO2, depending on which one).
My butcher block countertops are 30 years old. They were in style then, they are in style now, and always will be. They are treated a few times a year with food-safe mineral oil and there are no signs of rot, even around the sink.
That's good information to know. I'm considering going that route for my countertops. Thank you
wow i cant believe that TOH has never heard of wireless teleportation exhausts!
I refer to home inspection reports as comic books. To be honest some of them are probably better than Marvel or DC might put out.
All finishes are food-safe once they have dried. Check it out.
Anyone catch that squirrel @10:40?
I had my house evaluated for mini-splits. There is no central place to install one that would be suitable. Even two mini-splits wouldn’t keep the bedrooms cool.
Can anyone answers question on butcher block? I want to know if I can use a masons miter with butcher block instead of butt and the standard miter? Please help
"Butcher block" has the end grain facing up so that a more giving surface comes in contact with the butcher's cutting blade so it dulls slower. A paneled wood countertop is just a wood countertop, not a butcher block.
Okay thanks airdrummond I appreciate your insight.
BTW airdrummond I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.
Love this show.
Hi Ricardo have you become a flat earther yet? If not I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.
I would sooner live with laminate countertops but ditch that tile on day one.
Japanese maple native to Japan who would have thought
I love this video❤
Looks like Jen has been enhanced... Looking good Jen! Oh my!
Very nice set of twins, would love to motorboat them!

Corrent member of the (Lester) Flatt Earth Society. I got the tee shirt and everything... No lie 🤥!
😬 yikes
10:40
Chipmunk spotted

I have 2 questions for Nathan, why not match the grain on the two sides? Also, why was there a gap between the wall and the block on install that was visible from underneath?
Why are you are recommending a plant that is invasive in some parts of the country, and classified as a problem plant in other parts of the country?
I’ve always considered myself a gentlemen, but gosh with Jenn…there’s 2 things that always draw me into listening to her 😁
you're not a gentleman
Nice cans

Why can’t the evaporator still be a window unit and the condenser stays outside?
The mini split evaporators are ugly.
Yup. Both units are house warts
10:39 WTF was that?
Slowed down it looks like a rat most likely. It's pretty blurry though so it might be a tiny Sasquatch. They're always blurry
Chipmunk, some people call them a red squirrel. Just a small squirrel type critter.
@@rd-ch1on that was my first thought until i slowed it down, then i was not so sure, i might go with chipmunk.
@@Wild_Bill57 i never thought of chipmunk.
@@ShadowzGSD Tail looks a bit too long. The chipmunks where I live don't have tails that long but maybe that area has a different kind
🤦🏻♂️ I can’t believe he glued that perpendicular joint like that. With seasonal movement, that glue was useless. For such a small return piece, they could have had the wood strips running in the same direction. Sure, end grain will be visible but the joint would never open up. Come on TOH-you’re better than this. As a finish carpenter with nearly 20 years experience, I learned the proper technique from watching Norm’s New Yankee Workshop and Tom from TOH.
Or at least just used the metal clamps, which will probably allow some seasonal movement.

I wish I never got those mini splits because my electric bill went from $125 to $365.62!!! Never in my life I have ever had a bill that high.. I wish I got central air and heat unit
But what was your gas bill? Less than the difference?
I don’t understand. Why did you choose mini-splits if you already had central heating through heat ducts?
Was your house cooled before you installed the mini-splits?
Was it cheaper to cool with window units?
Ultimately, installing mini-splits shouldn’t affect your original H-VAC system, so if it is more expensive to use the mini’s you can always flip the switch on the original.
I would hazard to guess that gas heating is traditionally less expensive than electric heating.
But mini-splits excel at only heating the rooms you are using so you could use both together and set your central H-Vac to 55, the room you are in to 70 and have a net reduction in cost.
Crappy LG on top of that here
If you went to central your bill would have likely been even higher. At least with mini splits there is usually some form of zoning where you aren't paying to heat the rooms you don't need to.
Sure it did.
Should of got a Japanese branded A/C not some crappy LG
