It's been three decades since This Old House began giving viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the secrets of home renovation. In honor of its 30th anniversary, the crew will focus on two interesting projects in the Boston area, the place where the show first got its start. New episodes will follow the revival of a foreclosed and vacant 1870s-era Second Empire in Roxbury, an inner-city neighborhood, and the modest renovation of a 1914 Dutch Colonial in Newton Centre, a small town just west of the city.
The new season begins with a modest renovation in Newton Centre over 16 episodes. Homeowners Bill and Gillian Pierce purchased the property in 2004, and though they knew the home would need renovations, the changes weren't financially feasible right away. Instead, the couple wisely spent the last few years saving money and planning. Now, with the help of the This Old House crew, the family is adding 330-sq.-ft. over two floors and providing updated amenities that are respectful of the existing house's character. With a number of areas to address and a fixed budget, the family may face tough decisions along the way in order to stay on target. Tune in to find out whether the Pierce's can ultimately afford to do everything on their wish list.
And on Ask This Old House, the experts are once again traveling the country to help homeowners tackle everyday home repairs and improvements. Throughout the 26 new episodes, the crew will make house calls in Baltimore, Detroit, Tampa, Houston, and of course, Boston.
New episodes start Thursday, October 8 at 9 p.m. on WGVU TV!
