This Old House

Guys , dont forget there was that scene in "Hot Shots" where Bob Villa was putting fiberglass insulation on a tropical hut. "That extra R value will pay for istself " C'mon he's an average Joe.

I have read that there is a some sort of trend of people expecting alot more house than they can afford because of the way these shows and the shows on hgtv often focus on high end homes and renovations. I guess its kinda like body image and if everything you see is a $million house, you start to think of it as the norm...

anyone remember the term "sweat equity"?

The "This old house" show stinks and has been taken over by the "Ask this old house" show.

Last time I watched (few years ago) DIY network is very good.
