Roxbury makes the news
May 14, 2009
We're sure you've read all about Roxbury at thisoldhouse.com/toh/tv, but local Boston news channel NECN also brings to light some additional details on the effect the project will have on the neighborhood.
Aside from helping to revitalize a community and save an old house, the renovation creates a great buying opportunity. You've got the best in the business doing the work, and when it's all done, a family will benefit from up to $25,000 in financial assistance, low interest, and a possible $8,000 tax credit for first-time buyers.
All kinds of win!

Why is it that every time the new project (Roxbury) get mentioned, we are presented with pictures of a Dorcester project that Menino stuck his fat face in front of? I'm sure TOH tried to take advantage of the publicity from the Mayor's visit, but you're causing considerable confusion amongst your viewers as to exactly where the project is and which picture it actually looks like.
Having just restored a Second Empire here in Corning NY I am very surprised that the TOH contractor has already decided to ditch the original siding which is still underneath. You can tell its there by how far the asb sticks out on the window casings. Save some $$$ and remove the asbestos before you decide. You just need to take it off gently.

I would like to see TOH go back to their original mission and concentrate more on projects like this rather than the more upscale projects they've been leaning toward. It will also be awesome if TOH sticks to their original mission of showing the viewer how homes are put together and how the restoration work is done rather than taking us on the endless side trips. They're interesting but have no real bearing on the work at hand.
