I love This Old House. In fact, that is how my interest in DIY began. As a teenager, I would watch episodes and think, "I bet I can do that!" I once heard Steve Thomas, the host, give a speech.
It was so interesting, he knew almost nothing about home renovation before he started with the show. He was actually a shipbuilder and sailor. Apparently, the producers felt that being able to ask questions that viewers were thinking was the most important quality. At the end, he admitted that now he is a DIY-er.
Here are some lovely before & after pictures from the This Old House site
Even though Steve is no longer with the show, it is still a great resource for inspiration!
How did you get hooked?
