That story from Tom about the sleepers just made my day!
Made me want to take a nap. 😴💤🤣
Interesting. In Australia we use “sleeper” for the wood, now often concrete, planks on which rail tracks are laid.
@@woodrow60I'll rather sleep on the porch than the railroad track personally. Safer and more comfortable. 😂
Boy that’s one high dollar house got to be in the millions.
I was thinking the same thing Ron. Would be fun to have them build to your dreams, right...
Unfortunately, it’s still made with sticks and cardboard…
@@Kevin-mp5ofto be fair, those sticks are 2x6s and the cardboard is stronger than plywood or 1x12s sheathing, or 2x12 joists/rafters.
Never a budget on this old house
Biden home prices
If I could only find a beautiful woman to stare at me the way Kevin stares at Richard 😂
Tommy is the old pro😊
"I got 2 layers!" "You got three *cough*"
Yep, thanks Dad.
Great zinger
Great video
Gorgeous stoves.
What happened to the good old days when This Old House had projects middle class America could relate to?
Agreed, they are working on dream houses for millionaires these days, but it allows them to showcase top of the line building products.
Showing you the future in building or rebuilding homes!
Back in the WGBH days? I don't know when WETA took over, but it might be one reason.
The point of the show has always been about renovating old homes with the new technology of the day. Obviously technology has advanced rapidly so now these homes are going to be advanced compared to your cookie cutter homes. The regular middle class home renovations are seen on ‘Ask This Old House.’ In fifteen years someone will be making the same comment, referring to this season.
@@wolfmanjacksaid Top of the line building products for those who can afford it. I can understand and appreciate wanting to showcase the latest and greatest, but I'd appreciate it a lot more if it was the latest and greatest that the average person could afford or obtain. This Expensive House. Show me a working class home doing a modest 2 bedroom addition, or kitchen reno, using the latest and greatest reasonably priced technology that costs 10% more now but saves you 50% in the long run. That's something people can relate to. There's already enough shows based around wealthy people showing off how much money they have.
Yea, sure, if i had a million dollars laying around, this all would be great.
"This millionaires old house"
this house is going to be a nightmare in the snow.
Why do you think that? The roof discobobulation?
@@Navy1977 yes and taking on that deck when the rubber roof needs repair or maintenance. Solar panels and the pitches are awful. Just wait for that first killer snow storm that turns to ice and wet snow and the house is making all sorts of noises inside and they have to clear panels and valleys and flat roofs. Awful.
@@jc51373 yes we had a wood deck similar to that on the roof top years ago and you would not believe how much dirt and debris and leaves would collect under those sleepers. It was a nightmare to keep clean.
@@jc51373 It is a pretty complicated roofline for sure. I like simple, straight forward roofs.
But, but, it's a Cape.
That solar system is hobbled from the start with the shallow pitch. They will hold snow for days. The guy says 10 to 11 MWh annually, then moves quickly to 11 MWh. Bet on 10 or less, and the house probably uses more than 20 MWh a year. The six burner stove needs 2 tons of AC if it's at full power.
I like to start decks at the house and work to the outside as it gives you more leeway for adjustments and errors.
The perimeter is the focal point you want your full width pieces there…
@@Kevin-mp5of For many decks, like this roof top one with railings, I've had better success working out, but it certainly changes depending on the deck location.
Why? Saw cuts should always be against the house
@@Alex-gf7oe Why? I've not had any issues doing it my way, of course, I also tend to build decks such that I can adjust the outer edge to get a full board in.
But how do you mount the panels??!!!
The home owner should save his money after while those solar panels damaging the roof itself for poor ventilation,storms and so on. Besides the inverter and the batteries when they breakdown.
I’d like a follow up on that solar system when the first good snow storm rolls through.
Does anybody know the brand of the roof body harness that they’re using at 20:15?
I saw a few different styles, but the one I recognize and have used almost exclusively is MSA. They make several variations. Petzl and Frontline are a few other brands I've heard of
Beyond the means of mere mortals.
I'd have though the word came from the railways as they lay the rails on sleepers.
8000 kilowatts? lol nice “expert.” 😂
Maybe he wants to run the entire town off the solar system. 😂 for those who don’t understand watts and kilowatts, an 8000 kilowatt system could run roughly 650 (average) homes. He misspoke, he meant to say 8000 watt systems, making 8 kilowatts of power.
Disappointing that there wasn't enough roof available to build a system with the spare capacity to charge enough batteries to run the whole house and make it capable of being off-grid at least on the good sun part of the years. Then on the low sun part of the year they could charge the batteries on cheaper electricity parts of the day to run the house off battery on the parts of the day when the grid power was more expensive. A lot of people do that now.
I’m sick and tired of global warming !
You mean climate change 😂 what will the scam be in another decade or two?
i wonder why they dont make 2x4 out of that composite decking. Water safe decking but not water safe frame. Even pressure treated will rot eventually.
My guess would be the high cost of doing so makes it prohibitive. Decking has to look good and stand up to the elements so they can justify the high cost.
Might be a strength issue? Deck is compression where as the 2x4s have to deal with lots more stress, unless you are using them for trim, which are available in composite materials, even as 2x4s.
How about solar panel recycling?
Why would you worry about that? They're almost perfectly inert. Absolute worst case, grind them up and landfill them.
In fact, they can be easily disassembled (glass, aluminum, plastic, metals, the cells themselves) and be expertly recycled.
If you have RUclips where you live, then you can find videos where this is demonstrated.
If they can recycle fricken-massive oil rigs, then they can recycle solar panels after they're expired in 30 or 40 years.
Geesh.
@@JxH your a Funny Guy!
@@BamBamBigelow.. >"your a Funny Guy!"
And you're a jerk who talks nonsense and doesn't know how to punctuate or capitalize.
@@BamBamBigelow.. * you're
@@JxH and a grammer Nazi, the double Up!
Too much over tech
*ERROR* 18:32 Solar guy says, "...So it's an 8kW system, 8000 kilowatts."
OMG!! It's gone from 8,000 watts to 8,000,000 watts in the space of a single sentence !! Amazing !!
It's nice that all these experts used the exactly-correct units when describing the energy and the power and so on. Nicely done; real experts.
More Power! Besides, it's metric. I get the confusion.😅
Beautiful stove! However, I'm sure with the new regulations on gas appliances, we can say goodbye to that company...
Amen 🙏
why not just use the solar roof shingles?
They cost more and the only benefit is asthetics.
@@oldfredbear yes but aesthetics was a main concern and the budget for this build seems forgiving.
@@danielwolk3576 personally, I like the looks of regular solar panels on a roof, mine included, but I think it's a 50/50 split with people.
Can they help out average Americans? Not investment bankers and 3rd generation silver spoons?
They gotta pay the bills. These rich folks are willing to pay top dollar to have their house featured on This Old House. I'm sure it increases the value of the house; hence it's a good investment for them.
I see you removed the "Ask" from your name, not bad
That's a different show, even though they have most of the same crew.
@craigcheng9619 wait really?! I'm a pretty avid fan I don't know how that slipped past me
@@everythinglife2334 Yes, two shows; "This Old House & "Ask This Old House"
This is going to come off as mean and shallow and kind of irrelevant so I shouldn't say but also can't not: to me, Kevin looks like one of the characters on the Rice Krispies box with his beanie perched atop his head just so
Yep that’d be Crackle 😅
@@pistolpete5325 😆
@@masstwitter4748man that’s a deep find lol. Not many peeps would catch that. I got a box of that in my pantry rn tho!
@@pistolpete5325 Nothing better than a bit of snap, crackle and pop - for nostalgia reasons if nothing else!
All that sweat equity by the owners?? Their hands must be tired from writing all the checks to pay for that stuff??
I miss this old house with Bob Villa and Norm Abram! I dont watch it much anymore.
Solar power is a waste
Why do you think that?
You have to maintain them, and they lose their efficiency over time, too.
@@shanew7361when the grid goes down where are you gonna get your power?? From solar panels… they don’t die like you’re claiming
@@shanew7361, what's funny about this comment is people who have solar panels know it's not true and are raking in dollar after dollar of free electricity.
Everyone without solar panels keeps repeating this line fed to them by the oil companies and their lobbyists.
19:30 Fun fact: A patent for solar panels with over 80% efficiency was filled in 1971, and it was hit with a secrecy order.
If that's the case, how would you know it actually exists?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. May JESUS, bless you.
My cousin got solar panels and regrets it.
Your cousin hired the wrong company then. Probably leased them, right?
That sucks 😕
The lady with the belt sander would be much safer ditching the face diaper and wearing a hair tie. Long hair and power tools are a bad idea.
Looks like a safety mask, since other folks aren't wearing a mask for covid protection?
Why are they forcing the employee to wear a mask? Not a fan of the propoganda....Its OK to take it off and never wear it again. Give yourself permission and live again.
Or go find yourself a new job while both you and he are in the unemployment line because someone wants to do their own thing.
You mean the safety masks while they are grinding the parts for the stoves?
@@Navy1977 dude doesn’t have a clue
@@XX-166 I did not comply. Almost got fired. Let them know the lawsuit will cripple them. Live free and never bow to totalitarian actions. Glad they backed down...
@@JTOTHEW3000 frivolous lawsuits are thrown out every day so go get a job and follow the rules or build your own company and make your own rules
the deck hardware is called camo clips for anyone looking to source 🫡
Or you can just read the video description and it’s all there in black-and-white…
@@Kevin-mp5of youre welcome
