Quick update. As some of you know, the program Ask This Old House did a segment on a project on our house. Tom Silva and I (Tom, really. I held the shop vac) cut a pass-through between our kitchen and dining room. The show was taped in May and it will finally air in a couple of weeks.
The information on when it will air was given to my by a press person from the show. From an email I got from the show. Keep in mind that based on your local programming, the times may differ.
<i>Your episode of Ask This Old House airs on WGBH 44 Thursday, October 28, 2004 at 8pm as part of The New This Old House Hour--the This Old House Carlisle project followed by Ask This Old House. It will air again on WGBH 2 Saturday, October 30, 2004 at 5pm. Please note that Ask This Old House airs in the second part of the This Old House hour so the exact times will be 8:30 and 5:30.
I have also embedded the episode description below.
Program #304 ? Thursday, October 28, 2004 at 8 pm ET (check local listings)
In the first half of The New This Old House Hour, general contractor Tom Silva brings in an excavator fitted with a hoeram to jackhammer away the ledge standing in the way of our new basement. Using a 3D model, plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey explains the anatomy of a septic system, and what we'll have to do to bring our system up to code. Under the jacked up barn, master carpenter Norm Abram shows the state of the existing rubble stone foundation. For inspiration, Kevin travels to Vermont to meet Ken Epworth of "The Barn People" - a group that rescues, restores, and relocates old timber frame barns. Ken shows Kevin how the old barns come down in the field, and how they go back up as restored barns and as dramatic living spaces. In the second half of the Hour, Tom visits homeowners David and Patti Dobrindt in Milton, Massachusetts to help them cut a pass-through in their kitchen wall. Then Tom, Richard, landscape contractor Roger Cook, and Kevin ask, "What is it?" In West Roxbury, Massachusetts Rich solves the mystery of the continuously-running toilet for homeowner Peter Fay.</i>
In addition, when they were creating their press release for the upcoming season, they called me to ask for a quote. Out of all the shows, they actually used a quote from me.
