Bat House | Build It | Ask This Old House This Old House 2024-05-05 | In this video, This Old House host Kevin O’Connor meets with general contractor Tom Silva and landscape contractor Jenn Nawada to talk about bats and how beneficial they are. Then Tom and Kevin build a bat house.SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse.One of the best ways to support bats is to hang a bat house in your backyard. They give bats safe places to stay during the day while allowing them to move freely. Kevin O’Connor meets with general contractor Tom Silva and landscape contractor Jenn Nawada to talk about how beneficial bats are, and then Tom shows Kevin how to build a bat house to encourage these flying friends to nest.Where to find it?For the building materials, Tom has chosen 3/4” exterior grade CDX plywood [homedepot.sjv.io/LX6xLY] and 2x4 cedar board [homedepot.sjv.io/eKzr0z]. To cut the cedar board, Tom uses a miter saw [homedepot.sjv.io/KjNNMx]. He then uses a track saw [homedepot.sjv.io/0ZqxaJ] to make all the other measurement cuts on the CDX plywood. To give the bats a better area to grip, Tom uses the track saw to cut a few rows of grooves on the bottom of the back piece. To assemble the bat house, Tom secures the pieces with caulking adhesive [homedepot.sjv.io/LXkg2M] and exterior grade pocket screws [homedepot.sjv.io/Mm5DMq]. He then uses a drill bit [homedepot.sjv.io/NkLQa2] to create venting holes, allowing better airflow. For the finishing touch, Kevin and Tom paint the bat house with an exterior grade water-based black paint [homedepot.sjv.io/MmODeo].Looking for more step by step guidance on how to complete projects around the house?

How to Build a Concrete End Table | House One | This Old House This Old House 2024-05-03 | In this video, This Old House DIY expert Jenn Largesse details the steps to building a concrete end table to complement deck or patio seating.SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse.For steps and cut list go to This Old House [thisoldhouse.com/woodworking/100043/how-to-build-a-concrete-end-table].Difficulty: ⅗Cost: $100 for a pair of tablesTime: About 5 hours (over 2 days)Industrial-modern design is everywhere these days, with its blend of warm wood and metal or concrete. Having admired a table with a sleek tapered base and a simple concrete top, I wanted to try my hand at a similar mixed-media build. I was nervous about incorporating concrete into a wood-working project, but I found it easier and less expensive than I had expected.With a $20 water-heater drip pan and a bag of concrete mix, I successfully cast a tabletop on my first try, with enough leftover material to make two more. I learned that a spritz of a release agent makes it easier to pop the top out of its form, and sealing the cured concrete with paste wax yields a soft, powder-free finish that resists water stains.Looking for more step by step guidance on how to complete projects around the house?

How to Lay Shade Sod | Ask This Old House This Old House 2024-04-07 | In this video, a homeowner with a shady backyard is tired of looking at dirt and moss. This Old House landscaper Lee Gilliam shows him what to do to bring his backyard to life.SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse.Shady backyards can be frustrating to deal with. The only thing that seems to grow is moss. When a homeowner called the Ask This Old House team for help, landscaper Lee Gilliam answered. With the help of a homeowner, they continue the yard’s garden aesthetic into the backyard with shade-tolerant plants, amend the soil with compost, and lay a thick carpet of shade-friendly sod. Where to find it? If your yard is shady, maximize the sunlight exposure by trimming back larger trees. To trim back smaller tree branches, use long reach pruners [homedepot.sjv.io/g1E6nv]. Use a pole cutter [homedepot.sjv.io/WqkdkO] for thicker branches.To prep the soil before the install cover the yard with an organic compost [homedepot.sjv.io/0ZNjNY] and use a metal straight rake [homedepot.sjv.io/zNBQrr] to spread the compost out evenly. Work the compost into the soil with a rototiller [homedepot.sjv.io/dazVz3].Once the soil is prepped use a wheelbarrow [homedepot.sjv.io/OrxKdA] to transport the sod to the install area. Lee selected a micro clover sod [homedepot.sjv.io/eKWE06] because it is shade tolerant and low maintenance. Install the sod in a staggered brick-like pattern using sod cutters [homedepot.sjv.io/75NONV] to cut the rolls to length. Use hand pruners [homedepot.sjv.io/q4jxjq] to cut around sprinkler heads.Looking for more step by step guidance on how to complete projects around the house?

So far, I’ve torn out our countertops to make a new overhang for a seating area, built the cabinets up to the ceiling, added a corner shelf, boxed in the fridge, and then had the entire space painted. I still have flooring and lighting and a lot more to go, but today, I’m showing how I installed the backsplash using sticky paper instead of thin-set mortar and giving my honest opinion on what I think of this product.For this project, I’m using the same herringbone mosaic tile that we installed on our fireplace. This was done using a traditional method, so I feel like I have a good apples-to-apples way to compare these two methods of installation.Skill: 3/5Cost: $550 (my kitchen backsplash is about 20 square feet)Time: 8 hours over 2 daysMaterials:Herringbone tile Adhesive tile matUnsanded groutPainter’s plastic sheetingPainter’s tapePencilSanding spongeTools:ScrewdriverTape measureRulerTile sawGrout floatLooking for more step by step guidance on how to complete projects around the house?

How to Repair a Concrete Sidewalk | Ask This Old House This Old House 2024-03-31 | In this video, the freeze-thaw cycle is wreaking havoc on a homeowner’s walkway, but This Old House mason Mark McCullough answers the call.SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse.In the Northeast, the freeze-thaw cycle can be tough on hardscaping. As the ground freezes each winter, it pushes rocks and other obstructions upward, causing cracks and heaving in patios, walkways, and other masonry surfaces. When a homeowner experienced some walkway damage, she called the Ask This Old House team, and mason Mark McCullough knows the perfect solution. Where to find it? To demo the damaged walkway section, begin with making cuts on either side of the crack using a circular saw [homedepot.sjv.io/4P73E1] with a masonry grade blade [homedepot.sjv.io/xkKB5k]. Use a HEPA vac [homedepot.sjv.io/PyQoVq] to cut down on dust. Once the straight breaks are established use sledgehammers [homedepot.sjv.io/ZQG2KW] to break up loose pieces. Use shovels [homedepot.sjv.io/Jz0kDr] and a pickaxe [homedepot.sjv.io/xk3JYd] to remove rocks.To reestablish the base add a layer of gravel [homedepot.sjv.io/NkxgzV] and hand tamp [homedepot.sjv.io/R5YjLy] firmly into the ground until level. This will help with drainage and will absorb the pressure of a rock being pushed to the surface by frost.To create the forms, use precut 2x4s [homedepot.sjv.io/ZQG2BW]. Jam one end of the 2x4 into the edge of the existing concrete using a hammer [homedepot.sjv.io/ZQmzbR]. By aligning the 2x4s with the existing concrete it creates a leveled pitch for the form.Drive in a stake [homedepot.sjv.io/y2Kzjy] on the outer side of each 2x4 for extra support. Lay down wire mesh [homedepot.sjv.io/eK0DeZ] on top of the gravel to help resist cracking.Use a concrete premix [homedepot.sjv.io/g1n9qv] and add water. Mix in a wheelbarrow [homedepot.sjv.io/OrDXyK] with shovels until desired consistency is achieved. Once the concrete mix is poured use a 2x4 to screed the concrete to a smooth and level finish.To remove air bubbles, use a magnesium float [homedepot.sjv.io/Nkxg2P]. Sponge off excess moisture using a masonry sponge [homedepot.sjv.io/9gQ655].Looking for more step by step guidance on how to complete projects around the house?

How to Install a Shade Sail | Ask This Old House This Old House 2024-03-30 | In this video, This Old House carpenter Nathan Gilbert helps a homeowner create a cool, shady corner where she can watch her kids play in the pool.SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse.When a homeowner tired of her backyard being too sunny to enjoy, she reached out to the team at Ask This Old House for help. Carpenter Nathan Gilbert knew just what to do, providing a simple, flexible solution that provides the homeowner with a nice, shady space for the homeowner to hang out and stay cool. Where to find it? To make the portable posts, Nathan uses 3 4x4” cedar posts [homedepot.sjv.io/q4K1gY] spanning 8’ long. For the base of the portable post, Nathan opts to use half barrel planters [homedepot.sjv.io/anoy5R]. After placing the posts in the center of each barrel, Nathan uses a level [homedepot.sjv.io/6e6vAq] to ensure it’s plumb. To weigh down each portable post, Nathan fills ¾ of the barrels full with crushed stone [homedepot.sjv.io/NkxgzV] and tops them off with river rock [homedepot.sjv.io/DK65Q2] for a more decorative look. To mount the shade sail, Nathan pre-drills holes and attaches 3/8” x 5” eye bolt fasteners [homedepot.sjv.io/WqebG3] to the top of each cedar post. He then attaches each end of the sail to each post with a ¼ x 2-3/8” carabiner [homedepot.sjv.io/LXLJZa].Looking for more step by step guidance on how to complete projects around the house?

How to Build a Shaker Dining Bench | House One | This Old House This Old House 2024-03-09 | In this video, This Old House DIY expert and House One editor Jenn Largesse shows how to build a classic bench seat from stair treads and stock lumber.SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse.For steps and cut list go to This Old House [thisoldhouse.com/house-one/96646/diy-shaker-dining-bench].Difficulty: ⅗Cost: $90Time: About 4 hours (over 2 days)At my house, inviting family and friends over for a special occasion means scrambling for extra seating. So in preparation for the holidays, I started looking for a seating solution that would be comfortable, elegant, and easy to build—and stumbled on a photo of a Shaker bench on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. I especially liked the way that the angled backrest offered comfort for adults and would keep my kiddos from falling backward.Inspired by the original, I stayed true to Shaker simplicity by sticking with pine rather than pricey hardwood and using interlocking joints instead of modern hardware. I also made my bench from sturdy stair treads and common 1× stock. At 67 inches wide, it seats three adults or four little ones, and still tucks neatly under the table. I don’t know if history repeats itself, but I know that this bench will play a part in many future gatherings.Looking for more step by step guidance on how to complete projects around the house?

How to Firescape a Yard | Ask This Old House This Old House 2024-02-26 | In this video, This Old House landscape contractor Jenn Nawada helps a homeowner add flare to her front yard while also promoting safety during wildfire season with thoughtful plant and design choices.SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse.Landscape contractor Jenn Nawada takes us on a road trip to San Francisco to help a homeowner renovate her front yard. Homes in California are highly susceptible to wildfires, so Jenn enlists the help of a local expert to design a safe landscape that is filled with fire-resistant plants while also meeting the homeowner’s tastes and needs.Understanding Zones [planthardiness.ars.usda.gov]When it comes to firescaping around a home, there are two zones to be aware of: the 0-5 zone and the 5-30 zone. The 0-5 zone describes the area up to 5 feet from the foundation, and it should not have any plants or burnable materials inside it. The 5-30 zone can contain native plants separated by hardscape materials like stones, pavers, or larger boulders. Where to find it? California Flora Nursery [calfloranursery.com] is a nursery in Northern California that specializes in harvesting, propogating, and distributing native only plant species. Owner Josh Williams recommends a number of plants for the project, including:Franciscan manzanita [bit.ly/3uC1KYy]Narrow milkweed [bit.ly/3uJ3LSL]Showy milkweed [bit.ly/3T2gZ6I]Yarrow [bit.ly/3uElomY]Buckwheat [bit.ly/3T5i3qw]Eyebrow grass [bit.ly/42Kq3A5]These plants can be found at local nurseries and some can be found in home centers. Jenn then worked with April Owens Designs [aprilowensdesign.com] to create a “firewise” landscape. For the stones, Jenn and April installed the following:Crushed stone [homedepot.sjv.io/jr31Dv], for the base1-½ ft Yosemite tan decorative stone [homedepot.sjv.io/9gPeQW] for the patio areaSmall Noiyo cobbles [bit.ly/42GmpHu], for the walkway and accent area around the patio.Each of these stone types can be found at certain garden centers and landscape supply stores.

Mauro’s Take on Color Choice | Ask This Old House This Old House 2024-02-14 | In this video, This Old House paint expert Mauro Henrique explains how to choose colors, what homeowners should look for, and even his favorite color for almost anything.SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse.Paint expert Mauro Henrique tells us how important color choice is. Mauro explains that colors can change in certain light and that more often than not, his crew has to repaint at least one small part of the project to ensure that the homeowner is truly happy. He also shares with us why navy blue is his favorite color.“Which Paint Color Should I Paint My Room?”Mauro gets this question all the time. And while he can certainly pick a great color, he says it all depends on the homeowner. It depends on how the homeowner sees color and how they feel about it. In fact, Mauro says the colors can play strange sometimes, looking different on the wall than they did on the paint store swatch.Colors Play StrangeColors don’t always paint true to their name. For example, Mauro says that when he looks at a color, he can see all the undertones hiding in the color. Even a color like green might contain flashes of red, blue, or yellow. This complicates color selection and can make a color look different in the room with its source of light than a homeowner might expect.How the Homeowner Feels MattersThe first question Mauro asks a homeowner is “how do you feel about this color?” He wants to know what the customer really thinks because he knows feelings about a color can change once they hit the wall. And, believe it or not, his crew has to do a lot of repainting to ensure that his customers are completely satisfied with their color selections.Mauro’s FavoritesWhen it comes to high-impact features like a front door, Mauro loves colors like red, green, or a glossy black. But, his number one favorite color is navy blue. He believes it fits everything, including the rooms in his own home, his truck, and even his clothes.But the Homeowner’s Preference is What Really MattersMauro knows that the homeowner’s preference trumps his penchant for navy blue. He knows that it matters more that the customer feels good about the color and that they’d like the color anywhere in the house. After all, they’re the ones that live in the home every day, so if it makes them feel good, that’s their color.Looking for more step by step guidance on how to complete projects around the house?

To secure the boards together, Nathan used a series of galvanized brackets [thd.co/3jn08cy], which are manufactured by Simpson Strong-Tie [strongtie.com/].To hold the water in the rink, Jenn and Nathan used a 28x64’ 7mm white polyethylene from J. Freeman, Inc [jfreeman.com/]. Outside of New England, look for a local plastic distributor company that makes products such as boat wraps [amzn.to/3n6PsQe]. Some companies might even specify plastic for ice skating rinks.For the details around center ice, Nathan used a piece of PVC board [thd.co/3vIbpJv] and some red PEX pipe [thd.co/2XvjNPL], which can be found at most home centers.Expert assistance with this segment was provided by Kelstrom Landscaping, Inc.
