This guy has been doing this since I was a kid he must have xray vision at this point

Ever used a reciprocating saw before? Grown man: no

"Claude, add some expanding foam to my hanging door frame"

Every time that lady swings the sledge with slippers on I cringe. Steel toes - a lesson you only learn once.

He comes from an age where common sense was a little bit more common and you wouldn’t expect to have a random pipe or electric going through the wall

I love TOH videos, but every time I see American housing I still get surprised that you could just cut a hole on anyone's house with a saw.

I’ve watched this exact video at least 3 times over several years

I remember watching good ole Bob Vila on This Old House. I think that guy was the main carpenter?

I'd be checking for any hidden wiring using a stud/electrical finder before slicing into it.

Some words get fewer syllables. Some get more. “Sment” “Masonarry”

“Sment mix”

I go down ratholes & watch it during the evening repeatedly. Kinda relaxing to watch… Was so glad a house in our neighborhood was done over by them.

the fixed panel is kept in place with 2 L shaped metal thingies FROM OUTSIDE?

This show is what made me want to become a carpenter

I used to work on their family's construction vehicles years ago back in Lexington, MA... Silva Construction... Before this old house, before everything.. early 80s maybe...

She does not have proper footwear for the job

If you watched this and actually enjoyed it, congratulations you've officially hit the unc status.

No gloves, definitely not osha approved shoes. What the hell are they thinking

I don't know why it bothers me, but the number of times he says "Smint" is maddening.

He fathered the people that trained the people that built that house.

I used to watch so much TOH with Aunts and Uncles, this brought back memories. Back then they couldn’t afford contractors, but they could afford to be handy.

Been there, done that, there's always a ton of wires.

Old timers know how to do it

now they have black crumbly walls with nails everywhere though

Silva demonstrates comprehensive knowledge of construction. He knows how to do everything.

with my luck, at the 2 minute, I'd knock a chuck of concrete right through the glass sliding door

How to do this with cursing every 3 minutes???

Any wonder they fall apart in hurricanes, my shed is built stronger .

No electrical or pipes, no problem. Just read a tape measure and eyeball a carpenter's level.

I could listen to Tom Silva explain how things are done all day. By the time he's done, you've convinced yourself that you can do it too. (I can't)

Everyone needs a neighbor like this guy.

дома из картона, как можно в этом жить?

What the hell is “Sment” that he keeps mentioning?

Come on Bob, it’s not SMENT, lol

Door looks backwards. You can remove the stationary panel from the outside. He is a legend though.

His x-ray vision has a magnetic bridge.
