This Old House

[Squid kids Dad]

I still like the show

[Nebe]

I think the reason the show caters to the higher end jobs is that the middle class target group that the show used to cater to is so small these days that now the very rich crowd is the target group.. Also, if you didnt notice when Vila started the show it was geared to the middle class home owner who loved to bang on nails and tear down walls.. Not any more.. now its all sub contractors and as you said... big budgets.

I used to love the show. now I watch Lost.

it was about how they did things in the old days

and how to improve it with more modern materials

or real innovative changes that were Brilliant without

necessarily spending a small fortune....

now a days its...... keeping up with the Jone's ez

and looking for who can have the most gadgets

and high tech expenditures while staying green

Bob Villa can't even read a tape measure, I know I had the mispleasure of working on a house in Marion for that idiot, he got some measurements wrong it and it screwed the whole day up for the carpenters. He was taping a portion of a show on this house and it all went on film but that part never got aired, I wonder why?

[Raven]

hearing that story just capped off my day with a big grin

perhaps he never heard of the measure thrice cut once rule

ahh ha ha ha
