Like a freshly pressed shirt, the Colonial Revival house that we documented in , pleases the eye with crisp edges and smooth surfaces. Nearly nine months of reworking its innards and skin have given the building a sharpness of detail it hasn't had since it was built in 1922. Yet it avoids a just-out-of-the-package feeling because so much care was taken to restore the original materials rather than replace them with new: instead of a shirt brought home from the store, it's an old favorite just back from the laundry. When we started on this TV show project with owners Kim Whittemore and Bruce Leasure back in April, a common comment from the sidewalk out front was, "Why renovate? It looks fine from here." Up close, however, the imperfections hinted at deferred maintenance and the simple effects of age: tired asphalt roof shingles, alligatored and peeling paint, rot around the sunporch. Those jalousie windows on the porch weren't too appropriate, either. Inside, became stronger: cracked plaster, mysterious soot marks in the living room, an even more mysterious roll in the upstairs floor, and a dated kitchen whose shape and size were off just enough to preclude a simple change-out of cabinets and appliances.

Should You Take Laxatives When Fasting? | Fasting & Cleanses

Today, we're going to talk about whether or not you should take laxatives when you're fasting. In my personal professional experience, I have found laxatives to be undermining to a fast or to a cleanse and to the human body at large rather than supportive of it. There are alternatives however; colonics, enemas, aloe vera, and herbs that will help increase the peristalsis and help tonify the intestine while you're fasting. One part that is great for tonifying the intestine while you're fasting is called triphala. It literally means 'tree fruits'. Triphala will support the elimination without aggravating your intestine like a laxative will. What you need to know about laxatives is that laxatives are very irritating to the body and to the intestine while they're moving through. So the waste elimination that you have as a result of taking laxatives comes from the bowel being irritated and literally shaking off the waste that is in the intestine rather than the natural movement of the intestine and the peristaltic action pushing the waste through and out. It's a very different experience for the bowel. It's a very different result that you'll have when you have a true movement versus a movement that's triggered by taking laxatives.

Call it the Big Kahuna by the Sea. Our Manchester project was the longest and most ambitious renovation we've ever undertaken with homeowners: about 10 months and $1.5 million. But what a payoff. The McCues' 1883 house, aptly described at the beginning of the project as looking like "a motel in Hyannis" (translation for non-New Englanders: "an unadorned shingled box"), is now once again the seaside beauty it was at the turn of the century, when the original Shingle-style building was done up in Colonial Revival finery. As usual, general contractor Tom Silva provided solutions to two of the most vexing challenges the original building posed. From the day they moved in, the McCues had been troubled by the low ceiling heights on the first floor, especially in the living room that overlooked the sea. The feeling of being squashed was no doubt exacerbated by the original room's narrowness (see floor plans), and architect Holt was quick to address part of the problem by proposing an expansion of the room into one large space to hold the kitchen and the living room. That meant removing a bearing wall. Enter Tommy. First he engineered a steel and wood flitch beam (Steeling the Show), inserted like a giant needle through a hole in the side of the house one dramatic afternoon. That opened the room up, but what about the low ceilings? As we all discussed the pros and cons of raising the ceiling or lowering the floor, Tommy quietly worked out a way to strengthen the ceiling joists with thin steel sheets and shave off the joist bottoms, gaining nearly 3 inches of room height. They proved to be a crucial few inches, giving the room a feeling of height while preserving the floors below and above.

In the fall of 2000, This Old House returns to the city for the expansion and renovation of newlyweds Dan and Heather Beliveau's home on Bunker Hill Street in the historic Boston neighborhood of Charlestown. Built in 1865, the Beliveaus' townhouse is a three-story brick building in the Second Empire style, with carved brownstone lintels, a second-floor bay window overlooking the street, and a mansarded third floor. A victim of only the most benign form of neglect, the house's interior contains most of its original detail, including marble mantels, plaster ceiling medallions, a handsome main staircase, and a set of mahogany pocket doors that still work perfectly. Nonetheless, time has taken its toll, and the building's antiquated systems, tired windows, and kitchens and baths from the 1950s will need replacement.

How to Control Road Rage | Anger Management

Want to get a grip on your Anger? Check out these resources: Beyond Anger: How to Free Yourself from the Grip of Anger: http://amzn.to/1VFo0CA The Anger Workbook: http://amzn.to/1FXmxpi Anger Management For Dummies: http://amzn.to/1VFokRC The Cow in the Parking Lot: A Zen Approach to Overcoming Anger: http://amzn.to/1QZTMcb Anger Management for Everyone: Seven Proven Ways to Control Anger: http://amzn.to/1Om49ro Watch more Anger Management videos: https://ift.tt/2Yx0pQP I'm Dr. Ryan Fuller, and I'm going to talk to you a little bit about how to control road rage. So road rage is a very serious issue in America and other countries as well. It's responsible for all kinds of property damage in terms of auto accidents but also even homicides. So people do get seriously injured and even killed as a function of road rage. In a way, someone with high anger, who's put in a very heavily trafficked area with time constraints, is really the perfect recipe for aggressive behavior. And so if we look at some of the potential triggers for someone who has anger management issue, putting them in a vehicle that's already dangerous, which means if something goes wrong, there might be property damage to their vehicle or someone else's, creates an experience of anxiety and fear, because there's a threat to loss of property. So it makes anger very likely. The second component is oftentimes people struggling with anger or illness have very strong demands about how other people are meant to behave and follow the rules in a high sense of a need for control. So again, a heavy commute with a lot of other people on the road makes this a very difficult situation for someone with high anger to manage and navigate. So I recommend a few things. One, it's a very simple technique called "The Three P's", which is predict, plan, and prepare. When I shared this with one of my clients some years ago, she shared with me, it was the first time I've heard it, that failing to plan is like planning to fail. And the one thing is that most of us have a fairly regular commute pattern. In which case, we have a pretty good idea that traffic might, in fact, exist in that particular time, in that particular path. What we want to do is be realistic about that and make sure that we at least take the urgency and the time constraint out of the equation. And that means leaving plenty of time so that there's a cushion in case there is traffic. So the first step is try to change what you can by predicting ahead of time, making an appropriate plan to leave early, and maybe even preparing for a potential traffic jam by bringing audio book along or something like that. We certainly don't want you to be engaged in, you know, particular behaviors that might distract you from driving. At the same time, we need you to make sure that you are realistic that you might be stuck in traffic. And while you're there, we want to make sure that you're not ruminating and resenting the person next you and the fact that you're going to be late. The second is we want you to prepare ahead of time some sort of realistic, coping statements so that if someone does in fact cut you off, they're slowing down, or someone's tailgating you, that you in fact practice rehearsing rational coping beliefs about that situation instead of something irrational that going to simply exacerbate the problem and make you angrier and possibly aggressive. So some good things to keep in mind is one, usually, another person on the road is not really out to get you. In fact, they're thinking very little about you. What they're really thinking about most of the time is where they need to go and what they need to do. Now that can be upsetting, but it's critical. If someone is at risk for road rage, they don't personalize the issue by assuming hostile intent on the other person's part. Instead, try to cope by thinking something like, "Well this is unfortunate they are acting this way, but it doesn't have much to do with me. It probably says more about his or her behavior. What I need to do is take a deep breath, calm myself down, and focus on my goals, which is getting safely to the next destination." So two main things I recommend for people with road rages: First - predict, plan, and prepare, especially if it's a commute you know well. And that might mean bringing something else along like an audio book to calm yourself down. Second - to prepare the kinds of coping statements that might help you realistically cope with the situation as opposed to personalizing it and making it worse than it is.

All of us at This Old House remember where we were when the news came that Dick and Sandy Silva had lost just about everything in a raging house fire. It was early spring of 1999, and the show was finishing up the Key West project. It didn't take us long to join the rest of our Boston-area friends in the trades as everyone pitched in to put the Silvas back under a new roof. Ten months later, we all cheered at the Billerica wrap party when Dick announced that he had just received a certificate of occupancy from the town; the family would be back in for Christmas. It was a great moment: a victory of hard work over tragedy.

Our Watertown Victorian finally got her paint and paper, but not until seven months of intensive surgery had come to a close. Problems that had been apparent from the start--crumbling chimneys, a wet basement, paint-caked siding, antiquated systems, a confusing floor plan--were quickly joined by nasty surprises. A sodden back lawn that couldn't grow a lawn. Flues in need of new linings. An optimum floor plan reconfiguration that called for removal of a chimney, two fireplaces, and all three staircases. Inadequate insulation. And the termites, whose visits over the years necessitated costly sill replacement and the removal and reconstruction of all three porches. Costs added up as quickly as the days went by, yet through their nervous sweat homeowners Christian and Sue remained committed to doing right by their new house. They understood the importance of getting the fundamentals right, so that the trimmings would have a proper base. As Christian said, "I'm going to be carried out of here feet first, so I want a house that will last a lifetime—and then some."

I'm the author of Secrets, Tips, and Tricks of a Powerful Memory, which is a book and a 4-CD set. They work well together. You can listen in the car during those wasted hours that you spend commuting to work, or going to school, or wherever it is. And when you get home, you might want to look a little bit more closely. So open up the book. The chapter numbers are the same. And most of the materials is the same. It can work together. I've always had an interest in doing parlor tricks, memory tricks, card tricks. So I was aware of things like how to remember a long list. I wasn't always very good at it. And then an event happened. April 2008, I was in my office. My best customer called. I do equipment financing. And he said, "Barry, I spoke to my partner, and we want to go ahead with the contract that you and I negotiated yesterday. Right to the penny, the dollars and cents. Everything is fine. Please prepare a contract." And I said, "Josh, I'm in a rush. I'm raising out of the office now," which I was, "and my desk is a mess," it always is. "Do me a favor. Send an email to my secretary, Roseanne, with exactly those terms and conditions, and dollars and payments and everything else. And I'll tell her to watch for that email and prepare a contract while I'm gone." What I didn't tell Josh is that I not only didn't remember the terms and conditions, and dollars amounts that we had negotiated. It was much worse than that. I didn't remember and could not reconstruct having been on the phone with him the day before. That was my wake up call. I had to take those few cute little tricks that I knew, and make it into my life using these things, and learning how easy it is to picture things to remember them. That's what I do. So now, I lecture, I write, I do stage presentations. I teach people how to remember. And I got to tell you, the toughest part of my job is showing them that it's really easy. Don't hold back. It's really easy. My book, there are other good books. My websites, memoryshock.com, or powerfulmemorysecrets.com. My book, my CDs, and others. Go to Amazon. Take a look at what's available.

Most people can only fantasize about someday creating their perfect island getaway. In spring and summer of 1996, we were able to bring viewers along as we escaped to the charming New England island of Nantucket, where we helped Bostonians Craig and Kathy McGraw Bentley turn their folk-style Victorian into a year-round retreat. We were drawn to Nantucket both to cover a challenging renovation project and to tell the story of a seaside paradise preserved, but fighting to hold on to its historic character. A building boom has turned this tiny island into a microcosm of the mainland. It is grappling with all of the quality-of-life issues that larger communities across the country are facing—traffic congestion, runaway real estate prices, historic preservation and zoning versus development, land use versus environmental protection, and what to do with a landfill that's reached capacity—but, given the island's size, these battles seem all the more intense.

Our 1995 main project in the historic seaport city of Salem, Massachusetts, began with a departure from our normal Boston-area house-hunting procedure, which gives precedence to the house rather than the location. This time, we picked the city before choosing the house. As executive producer Russell Morash explained, "We were so impressed by the rich history and architectural fabric of this great old New England city, our hope was to find a fixer-upper that reflected both qualities." After touring Salem's housing market with a local realtor, we found the perfect candidate, a classic Federal-style house, circa 1784, with an attached Victorian-era rental unit that had been on the market for two years. Located in the heart of the city's historic McIntire district, so named after native son and famed American architect and wood craftsman Samuel McIntire, the house boasted two mantelpieces carved by the master himself. After falling in love with the house, we learned of prospective buyers Deborah and Kevin Guinee, who had been interested in it for several months. A young couple with two preschool-aged children and another on the way, they were hoping to move up from their small six-room home on a neighboring street. With two living units and a total of 19 rooms, the house offered a smart way for them to finance a larger home.

She and the Magician, and the Fool, are actually the only three characters in the entire deck. Every card, every person that we see in this deck is going to be some version of the three of them. The Fool is the super conscious and spirit. The Magician is the best use of the self conscious everyday mind. And, the High Priestess is the guardian of the sub-conscious. This is why she sits in front of a vast sea. Peak behind her veil, and notice the water there. The sea is one of the symbols of the collective unconscious. And our own personal consciousness is just a little inlet or bank off of this vast ocean. She also sits between two great pillars. On the card, they look quiet manageable in size, but if we went to see them as they really are on Typhany they would vast like big redwood trees. These are the two great pillars at Solomon's temple. The B and the J written on the pillars in the  Rider-Waite deck represent the first letters of their names in Hebrew. Boaz for the darker pillar, the pillar of negation. Where you just hold your ground and say no. And, J, for Jakin the name of the pillar of affirmation. The yes. The I will. The going forward. And, there she is, right in the center. She represents the reconciliation of opposites. And, she is a preview for us of the completion of the great work of the marriage of the self conscious and the sub-conscious within the self. Another symbol of that is the cross of equal arms that she wears on her breast which shows the marriage of the horizontal and vertical plains. The horizontal being the earth plain, and the vertical being the spiritual coming down. You can imagine that the point in the center of the cross if of utmost importance. In Tarot, she is ruled by the moon or really we get this association from her feeble letter Gimel the Camel. The moon was given to Gimel in the Zohar, the oldest book of the Kabbalah. The moon is the ship of the sky, just like the camel was the ship of the desert. You can imagine how in the time when Tarot was forming how important that camel was. That camel opened up civilization and connected peoples and counties like nothing did before. Before camels, first they used donkeys, but a camel could travel so much further on so much less. And sometimes, the hump of the camel, especially if there's two humps, reminds us of the crescent of the moon. The high priestess if also in kabbalistic lore considered the shekina, the female aspect of god. In Kabbalah, the divine equally is divided between masculine and feminine. And for us in  our tarot journey, that's the high priestess and the magician. Although, we will see this represented again and again because tarot is very keen on this point. She reconciler of opposites sits in front of the veil of Isis, and she wears on her head the crown of Isis with the full moon and new moon and a waning moon. Crescents on either side. This is the crown of Isis, and therefore, as they would say, there is no man who can lift the veil of Isis. Only Isis lifts her own veil. In other words, you can't force the sub-conscious. You see her dress towards the bottom is like little wavelets going off the side of the card. Every piece of water, every stream, every pool that you see in the tarot, comes from her dress. She is the source. The number two. Well, it represents duality. And duality is the price of existence. On her higher polarity, she represents the reconciliation of opposites. She is peace that comes from finding that reconciliation and inner wisdom. This card, and all things that are associated with the moon and the water represent psychic ability. When you get her well aspected in a reading then probably they are talking about your own interior channels opening. For she is intuition and wisdom at the deepest source. On her lower polarity, then she is  the lower aspects of the number two. Doubt. Dualism. Being divided. Having a closed channel. Being duplicitous. And, finding no inner peace. Instead, inner strife. Respect that duality. Sometimes, it's shown whether she's erect or reversed. Other times, it really comes from the fact that

He then goes to the season's project house (and the oldest house the show has worked on): a 1710 colonial in Acton, Massachusetts, owned by Terry and Sima Maitland. Though suffering from bad sills and much settling, its real problem for this family of five is lack of space. The Maitlands' $150,000 budget will barely cover an addition, and Norm and general contractor Tom Silva advise them to "let sleeping dogs lie," and not attempt to correct many of the original house's problems, which would soak up that amount and more. In the spring of 1994, we took on our oldest house yet, a c. 1710 Colonial in Acton, Massachusetts. Known as the Knight-Forbush Homestead, it was Acton's oldest home as well, built by one of the town's first settlers and later inhabited by a sergeant who fought in the nearby Battle of Lexington and Concord in 1775. Though the house looked big from the outside, inside it was anything but. Factor in a gargantuan center chimney stack, ceilings well under seven feet, Terry and Sima Maitland and their three young children and the space disappeared quickly. From our first walk-through—when the Maitlands sheepishly revealed the dishwasher they had to store in the dining room for lack of space in the kitchen—it was clear the house needed a sizable addition, and one that was very sympathetic to the homespun charm of the existing building.

In the fall of 1993, after sifting through nearly 200 proposals, we joined with homeowners Lauren and Dean Gallant for one of our favorite projects: the renovation of their 1907 Victorian in Belmont, Massachusetts. Two things made this one a winner. First, the original beauty of the Shingle-style building emerged dramatically from behind bad foundation plantings, gray asbestos siding, cooked asphalt roofing, clunky replacement trim, corroded triple-track storm windows, 1950s kitchen cabinets and dull wallpaper. Cliche as it may sound, this truly was a case of the ugly duckling becoming a swan. Second, the Gallants pitched in with untold hours of sweat equity and an enthusiasm, backed with careful research, for their house's heritage and original look. Their hard work not only saved them money, but put their stamp on the job.

The lawn has come in, and the place looks great. Then it's off to Newton, where a developer has found it economically sound to buy up tired little ranches and upgrade them radically—the idea the show will explore this season. In Lexington, Steve meets Brian and Jan Igoe, and their children Brennan and Sarah, in the ranch house they've lived in for the past nine years. They want to expand it, and Norm, Richard Trethewey, and Tom Silva agree that the basic structure is sound and can be added onto without the need for repair first. Steve and Norm tell the Igoes they'll help them on their project. In 1992, we were looking for a tired ranch-style house and for homeowners taxed for space and fed up with the ranch layout and look. Brian and Jan Igoe—and their house—fit the bill. Wood-framed, built in 1958, it sat on a sloping one-third acre in quiet, leafy Lexington, Massachusetts. The Igoes, with their two young children, couldn't afford a larger house nearby and, attached to their neighborhood, schools and Little League, they balked at the idea of moving out of town. Renovation was the logical answer, but this would not be your standard rehab. The Igoes shared with us the good fortune of working with noted Cambridge-based architect Graham Gund, winner of more than 30 local and national architecture awards. Cited for his facility with post-Modern style and a certain playfulness with forms and details, Gund was intrigued with the idea of transforming a building built in one of the most common, and maligned, American house styles.

Reviving an elegant survivor was the assignment of the season, and This Old House approached the task with one eye on history and the other on practicality. Kirkside, an 1815 National Historic Register home in Wayland, Massachusetts, needed basic repairs and systems upgrades from rooftop to basement floor. The renovation effort expanded the dark and cramped kitchen, refurbished the four—season porch, master bedroom and ballroom, and restored the house's historic paint scheme and portico. Owners Chris and Joan Hagger had inherited the massive home from his parents, who had run an antiques business out of it for years. They and their two young sons loved the idea of living in a piece of history, but the building's problems were daunting and getting more so with each new inspection. This Old House hoped that with some help, and some discipline, the Haggers would get a good start in their new stewardship of this historic house. "This was like a dream come true," said Hagger. "I got to participate in a television show I've watched for many years, while at the same time restoring my family's home."

Steve and Norm survey the new project: an 1835 barn in Concord, MA, and talk to the homeowners, Lynn and Barbara, who want to dismantle and rebuild the barn and live in it. The start of our second decade on the air, 1989, was memorable for two reasons. Steve Thomas joined the team as our new host that spring, and we embarked on what remains for many of us the most remarkable project we've ever taken on. Steve's new job was to help lead viewers through the dramatic conversion of a mid-19th-century timber-frame barn into a new dwelling for its owners, Lynn and Barbara Wickwire. The Wickwires had lived for 12 years in the Victorian farmhouse on the property, raising a family but always looking dreamily at the old red barn out back, thinking of the day they might, somehow, turn it into a home. The task was daunting to contemplate, certainly, since the barn had not been particularly well-maintained over the years. The Wickwires knew they would need help and had in fact written to TOH two years prior. When the show began searching for an "adaptive reuse" project, the letter came out of a file, a site visit was arranged, and soon thereafter, we were in business. Lynn, at the time an associate dean at a local community college, recalls being a little nervous-about the barn project as well as the prospect of having it all unfold on television. But he and Barbara, a special-needs tutor at the high school, were convinced that if they were going to realize their dream, this was the way to do it.

The scene was not an appealing one: The once-proud triple-decker stood unoccupied and slowly dying at the end of a dead-end street. Its rear porches were falling off, the windows were beyond repair, the asphalt siding was awful and the interior stank of cats. Thankfully, its prospects started looking up as TOH joined forces with an innovative Boston urban rehabilitation program and work began to bring this 100-year-old structure back from the brink. Before the City of Boston's Public Facilities Department instituted its Residential Development Program, tax-foreclosed properties like our triple-decker were seized by the city and sold at auction, a practice that encouraged speculation and discouraged development. The program, which is still in place, works like this: abandoned and foreclosed houses and lots are sold to first-time buyers and small contractors, the kind of people that are likely to stay with their new investment. After selling the property for as little as one dollar, the department helps the homeowner by arranging for government subsidies to pay part of the rehabilitation costs and assisting in other finance and loan matters. It also aids in securing reliable contractors and assigns an on-site manager to ensure a successful rehabilitation.

Now I think those two words often go together. I think those two words often go together in a sentence. As long as there are siblings, right away there is rivalry, because once there is more than one child in a family, two things happen: there is competition for attention, and there is just competition, because basically, children, when the rivalry is going on, it's often about wanting approval and attention from that person that's most important, and that's a parent. And then the other thing is that's going on is there is competition by who is better, and that's all about the social world that they are now born into when there is more than one of them. And so you're stuck with trying to figure out both of those things. First, recognize that they just want you. Even when they're doing things that seems like bad behavior, it's what we call "negative attention-seeking," because they're trying to get all of you all the time. And you don't always realize that "No," that yelling, whatever it is, it's getting you in their life, and they like that, because then you're focused on them. So you need to think about how to change that part of the behavior so it's more positive, and that you're paying attention to when they are getting along and making sure that you're praising them for good sibling behavior. The other thing is realize that some of sibling rivalry is a great testing ground for life, because you go out of your family and there are other people. They are bigger. They are stronger. They are different than you. You have a boss, and you're working with other colleagues. So kids need to learn how to get along with someone else on the playground, in the office, and just in life. So you don't want to rush in and solve all of those squabbles, because it's going to teach them "Somebody else will fix it for me." So sometimes you have to sit back and give them skills and have them talk it out, work it out, share. Give them all those tools and strategies that they are going to need later on. Sometimes they give in for the better good of the other person. Sometimes they go last instead of first. Sometimes they take turns. And so you have to think about if there is something that's physically destructive, if they're hurting each other too much, in terms of their bodies or their emotions, then yes, you need to be the one to protect all of your children from each other. But if not, you want to sometimes pause for a minute and think, "Maybe they can work this out," because you know what? You weren't there. They are going to argue about who started it and "She started it" and "He started it," and you can't always win. So sometimes what you want to do is "You guys try to work it out and let's see how that happens" and other times, it's "Okay, you're both getting put to your room, because I can't tell who was right and who was wrong," and other times, you just go in and protect and then give them those skills for later on, when you're not around, to make sure that they can solve their problems.

A hidden asset made the work easier: an unfinished attic provided space for a master bathroom, bigger closets and a balcony overlooking the backyard. All of the renovations were housed in a shed dormer that brought the attic roof in line with the house's main roof. Throughout the demolition, homeowners Rob and Jennifer lent a hand, helping not only to construct the addition but also to knock down its cost. Under the tutelage of our master carpenter, they learned how to properly demolish walls, tear off roofing, frame the new addition, drywall, plaster, shingle, tile, run wires, lay pipe and install carpeting. Their hard work paid off in the form of a spacious, light filled suite in keeping with the humble character of their home. From a second-story suburban expansion to the redecoration of an urban apartment, This Old House took a whirlwind home improvement tour of the Boston area during its sixth season, rolling up their sleeves alongside homeowners to design, budget, build and decorate five different remodeling projects.

Richardson. The challenge is to convert this abandoned structure into five modern condominium units, while preserving architectural integrity. Bob Vila talks with Norm Abram about how to achieve this balance. In the housing crunch in the early 1980s, single-family homes were snatched up so quickly-and at such prohibitive prices-that developers began to look for alternative forms of housing, transforming triple-deckers, downtown brownstones and even old factories into condominiums. This Old House joined the fray when it stepped in to rescue the long-neglected and often-vandalized Bigelow House, a sprawling historic mansion in Newton, Massachusetts. Designed by famed Victorian architect Henry Hobson Richardson as a summer house for Dr. Henry Jacobs Bigelow in 1886, the large, rambling Shingle-Style house commands a magnificent view of the surrounding countryside. The property, which fell into disrepair when it was abandoned in 1973, found new life as a set of five condominiums with extensive grounds and a sunny interior courtyard. In addition to the main house, the This Old House crew converted a woodshed, ice house, stable and barns from storage and haylofts into livable condominium units with modern amenities. Details like eyebrow windows, hayloft windows and a cupola remained constant reminders of the historic building's past, as modern amenities such as central heat, electricity and telephone service arrived at the house for the first time. Because the house was designed for summer use, the crew also added blown-in cellulose and rigid polystyrene insulation, storm windows and energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, including solar collectors and wood stoves.

This Old House | The Dorchester House [S1, E1] | Full Episode

We're just 40 days away from our big 40th-anniversary TV special on PBS! In the meantime, take a stroll down memory lane with Bob Vila, touring our very first turn-of-the-century house in Dorchester, MA. #ThisOldHouse #AskTOH SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse This series premiere episode is available FREE for a limited time in celebration of TOH's 40th anniversary!

The series will reveal the many steps involved in rehabbing an old house into a family home. Rehabbing is a combination of restoring and renovating, from demolition to decoration. This single-family residence was built around 1860 in a style that was very popular in the Victorian era. Real estate appraiser John Hewitt helps Bob appraise the house. They survey the condition of the exterior, including the mansard roof, clapboards, windows, gutters, garage, and foundation. They assess whether or not the features are worth repairing or replacing. The house is situated on a quarter acre of land next to Saint Peter's church, which was built in 1870, and across the street from the first meetinghouse of Boston. Thirty years ago, the owner, a doctor, built a new entrance, which is in good shape. Inside, they look at the condition of each room. The ceilings are in poor shape and will need to be replaced. The fireplaces can be cleaned and repaired. The woodwork all matches in the old entryway and can be kept. The kitchen is a good size but will need a complete makeover. The bedrooms on the second floor are large and sunny. The bathroom is a disaster. The third floor is partly redone, and a caretaker will occupy it while the home is being rehabbed. John appraises the home for $16,000 to $17,000 in its current condition. Real estate broker John Crosby describes the home's biggest selling points as well as the weaknesses. Down in the basement, John Hewett assesses the condition of the copper pipes and a crawl space under the kitchen. The electrical box needs a major update for safety. The heating system needs to be replaced.

The spring of 1988 saw us joining up with homeowners Mary-Van and Jim Sinek to build an addition onto their home in Lexington, Massachusetts. The project became known as the "B&B job," since one major component was adding three extra bedrooms and baths for the Sineks to rent out as bed-and-breakfast accommodations. Another crucial aspect was creating an in-law's suite for Mary-Van's elderly mother, complete with handicapped-accessible bedroom and bath. When Jim's employer relocated the couple to Massachusetts from Rochester, New York, they found that real estate prices in the metropolitan Boston area had "gone through the roof" — even for modest homes. Jim, an engineer, and Mary-Van, a veteran do-it-yourselfer, purchased the house with the goal of making the housing help to pay for itself by renting out one unit (or converting it into a condominium) and generating additional income from the bed-and-breakfast operation.

How Common Is Autism? | Autism

This is a very interesting and controversial subject and a lot in the media, there's concern that the diagnosis of autism has substantially increased. The present data is one in 88 of our children are being diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder and this is really a global statistic. There are differences in difference areas. For example, in areas in New Jersey, there was a diagnosed of one in 49. Recent C.D.C. telephone-based survey of parents reported that one in 50 homes had a child with an autism spectrum disorder. Now that's not the best way to analyze it, but these are prevalence studies. There is concern that we are overdiagnosing this or is there truly an increase and that debate is ongoing. There has been a change in the diagnostic criteria that has taken place between the D.S.M. IV and the D.S.M. V, and that is now going to change some of the prevalence data because of the way we diagnose these children. There is controversy that we are over diagnosing children with autism spectrum in the sense that a lot of neurologic diagnosis, for example, the Rett syndrome has been included or children who were previously not diagnosed like Asperger's or high functioning autism are now being included because we have widened the spectrum of the diagnostic criteria. However, the other side is the areas which have higher incidence of autism being diagnosed. For example, a Somali population that came and settled in Canada picked up an increased incidence of autism compared to even the area around. So was there genetic tendencies or snips, for example, or differences that with environmental triggers caused an issue and an increase or there something in the family that we have these cohort of people coming in? So there is a lot of concern about true increase in the incidence of autism and a lot more studies need to be done. One in 88 of our children being diagnosed is often son. With the new diagnostic criteria of the D.S.M. V, they’re going to be new studies that are needed to see what the trajectory is and what it is in different areas, because now we have a social communication disorder which has actually been removed from the diagnostic criteria. Similarly Rett’s which only occurs in girls as a neurologic condition has also been removed from the diagnostic criteria. Prevalence is important for us to address this increase that we are seeing, it's because we are going to need a lot more services and a lot more support for families. So whether that the understanding, whether it's overdiagnosis or truly an increase in the incidence in prevalence of autism, the reality is the present data is one in 88 of children is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. Whichever side of the controversy that you fall on whether you believe it is increase in prevalence because of increase in diagnostic criteria or you think there's truly an increased in incidence, we are still researching that but the truth is we need more services and resources for the children and for their families.

Kicking off its ninth season, This Old House tackled the restoration of Weatherbee Farm, a 200-year-old rambling farmhouse in Westwood, Massachusetts, 13 miles southwest of Boston. The new owners of Weatherbee Farm could thank Weatherbee Yankee spirit—"use it up, wear it out, make do or do without"— for a property full of architectural momentos: Federal-style windows, a Greek-Revival doorway and the Colonial Revival mantelpiece in the sitting room off the old kitchen. The challenge was how much of the old to save, and how much of the new to construct to suit the needs of 20th century homeowners with a growing family. Owners Bill and Cynthia Dromgoole, who purchased the home in the spring of 1987, explained that Weatherbee Farm was passed down through generations of the Weatherbee family since its construction in 1785. The original Weatherbee homestead was sturdy, with thick hand-hewn log rafters, hefty corner posts and clapboards with beveled ends. Remodeled in the mid-1800s in the popular Greek Revival style, the two-and-one half story clapboard home features a full-length front porch with delicate columns; a slate roof; original six-over-six windows; a granite foundation; an unfinished ell; a parlor, living room, dining room and kitchen downstairs, and four bedrooms and a bath upstairs.

Most suburban houses built in the 1940s and 1950s don't have great architectural or historic value, but they are often an economical choice for first time homeowners. This proved to be the case with the first project of This Old House's eighth season, a 40-year-old Cape Cod-style home in Reading, Massachusetts. Homeowners John and Claire fell in love with the traditional lines and unspoiled quality of this two-story clapboard-sided "gem" on a quiet side street and purchased the Cape in early 1986 as their first home. But the lovely house was not without its problems, including an out-of-date, cramped kitchen and a living room too small for comfort. The two bedrooms on the second floor were small and dark; steeply sloping walls reduced the already-limited space. Overall the interior layout of the house needed revision in order to create a smoother flow of traffic and provide more living space. However, this half Cape (a Cape-style house in which the front door and chimney are placed to one side of the house and two windows occupy the other half) was built with expansion in mind, as evidenced by the parcel of open land beside it. After defining the house's problems—and potential—with John and Claire, the crew worked with architect Scott Finn to develop a plan to fill the homeowners' needs while preserving the unspoiled, authentic feel of their Cape. The plans kept the half Cape's traditional boxy proportions while enlarging it to a full Cape with a central entrance to replace the awkward side entry.

Linda Helfet loved her 1880s Victorian. The house was filled with historic detail inside and out, from the porch's intricate spindles through the etched-glass front doors to the staircase's newel post and balustrade. But her 20th-century family was outgrowing the tiny rooms built for late 19th century life. The dining and living rooms did double-duty as game, craft and entertaining rooms. In the summer, her family could enjoy the spacious deck that she and her husband built themselves. But come winter the family had to cram itself back into the too-small house while the cold weather lasted. They needed more room. But Linda wasn't ready to give up her historic home in favor of a more spacious modern one. She came to This Old House looking for a way to add on without destroying the house's historic appeal. For expert advice, This Old House turned to Sara Chase from the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities. She revealed that the house's design combined two different Victorian styles: Stick, whose exterior ornamentation suggests the framing elements underneath; and Queen Anne, whose details are pure decorative flourishes that give the house a playful touch. Sarah recommended that Linda keep four principles in mind as she contemplated an addition. First, she should make sure that the new roof slope was in harmony with the main house's steeply pitched roofline. Next she should keep an eye on the addition's overall scale and proportions; the main house was relatively narrow for its height and any addition should echo these characteristics. Also she should remember that the size and placement of windows and doors should be proportional to the size of the house. Finally, she should make sure the materials used on an addition complement the original, wooden house. A concrete or brick addition would look out of place.
