This should be required viewing for anybody that will ever work on a wood frame building, carpenters, apprentices, mechanical contractors or even weekend warrior homeowner remodelers. It is as good as it gets. Clear and concise. This is the high water mark for teaching structure

Simply, the best. Always bringing great attitude with aptitude....
As we wrap another #TOH project let's take a moment to recognize this guy - @charliesilvatoh. He has done so much more than just keep this project going. He has kept another handful of projects going and most importantly he's keeping the Silva Bros. legacy alive. Thanks Charlie.

Where to find “This Old House” while you are stuck at home? Our boy, Kevin, clears it all up. (He has been pent up in his garage for far too long)
WHERE CAN I STREAM THE SHOW? It’s a question I get all the time. And the short answer is, lots of places. New episodes, old episodes, past seasons. The long answer? Well, have a listen.

Now that the demo is done and everything is wide open, it's time for @ThisOldPlumber to think about heating and cooling. Here he teaches you about micro-zones. #ThisOldHouse #TOHCapeAnn

Love these guys. They have done some of the most beautiful houses
Where thrilled to work with @siemasko_verbridge as the architect & design firm for our current project. Principal Thad Siemasko (shown here with Norm and @charliesilvatoh) has been a friend for years so it's good to get his team's expertise officially on board.
