a barrel of this: house Our House

This Old DC House

Posted by Matthew Sat, 13 May 2006 18:38:00 GMT

My parents let us know that This Old House has a project house in Shaw, DC. So of course we’ve been watching. This Old House is doing the renovations on behalf of a non-profit named Mi Casa that buys houses from the city, restores them, and then sells the house to a low income family (houses go for under $300,000). My parents of course wanted to magically alter our tax bracket and make us eligible. Seeing as how we are severely over our renovation budget I have been considering dropping in on Norm and . . . okay, well, kidnapping him. I know, it’s Norm. We don’t kidnap the master carpenter. But think how nicely he’d restore our banister. Anyway, a boy can dream.

The series just restarted on our PBS station a week ago so if you’re interested you can see it from the start. If Norm fails to appear in the final episodes this post will self-destruct.
