What does /diy/ think of this old house? Favorite cast member?

They're fine chaps, pretty boring if you have no interest of carpentry.

>>1128300
all the decor and style garbage is ruining the show

>yeah, lets waste 10 minutes talking about how these two shades of paint are slightly different

and adding a chick when roger has the garden stuff covered is just pointless

I enjoy watching them. No favorites but I wish they would show off more down to earth/affordable Tech sometimes. I remember them installing an air bladder controlled hvac damper system. I'd still love to afford one of them.

They get sponsored to show a bunch of new shit so they have to do new expensive stuff. Like that useless auto mower that costs $6000.

favorite - silva & norm - lots of shortcuts for making shit fit right

annoying - trethewey - 'lets tear out all this plumbing and hvac shit and install the most expensive highest tech shit money can buy'

>>1128338
Richard is pretty cool though. He's saved my ass a few times. I don't think that the homeowner pays for all of the shit they show I'm sure that the company showing the stuff pays for some if not most of it as it is advertised.

I remember watching the show with my dad a lot when I was younger
It was like being raised by multiple other dads teaching you stuff about carpentry

Well for the house builds they do the homeowner pays for it all and says what they want in the end. Mostly radiant heat and high velocity air are his memes if you will but they are all million dollar homes so that makes it different.

Radiant heat is best heat. Forced hot air is the meme.

I found this show on YouTube a while ago. I enjoy the watching old episodes.

Beats the shit out of that Home network renovation garbage.

My main interest is carpentry and I find zero enjoyment in plumbing but Richard is still my favorite.

Radiant heat is shit if you don't have a boiler or a tankless water heater. My parents finally got a tankless and the winters of 55 degree bedrooms are over. Electric bill went down too. Only house that is cheaper to run then theirs is one with solar panels on the roof and wood stove.

Second. Every episode is like watching Mr rogers on meth while he visits norm abrams
