The Milton House restoration was, in my book, the best This Old House ever. As the programs got underway, one could tell that the "stars", Norm, Steve and Tom, were all pretty nervous about this massive undertaking. As the programs progressed and the house became beautiful once more, their relief was almost palpable. This project and the resulting video doesn't seem as "sawdusty" and some of the other "get in, do the stuff and get out" type. The only thing I didn't agree with was not really keeping the house "historically correct" and the fact that most of the stuff they put in the house is beyond any normal person's reach. But other than that, I would leave a smoke trail if anyone offered me the opportunity to live in that "house of dreams"

My wife gave me the "This Old House: A Dream House" video series and I watched all 9 hours in one weekend. It is frustrating to watch This Old House on PBS and have to wait the whole season to see how the project turns out, but not with this video! They cover everything from demolition to wallpaper. A definite bargain.
