"This 4 disc DVD set of "Ask This Old House" is well worth the selling price. Learning just one thing from these guys can keep you from having to hire a contractor and save you thousands of dollars in home repairs. Tons of topics are covered and most anyone can learn to repair and maintain their home from these guys.



Wonderfully indexed, you can look up almost all the home improvement projects that they took on that season (2002).

I have found that you can watch these discs over and over since many times you can pick up things you didn't quite catch the first time.



This set is an absolute MUST OWN for the do-it-yourselfer!

I hope the guys at "Ask This Old House" are reading these reviews...... Let's roll out season #2 and #3 soon. I am ready to buy them!"

Great DVD - has a wonderful menu system!

"I got this DVD set for my dad (who's a This Old House franchise fanatic) for christmas 2004. I had never seen the ATOH show actually but the DVDs now have me hooked! The menus are set up PERFECTLY with options of viewing a specific episode, or going to a specific project (such as "digging a hole for a fence"). Its great to use as a quick reference tool for any DIY project you may have."

Glad I bought this season

"This DVD set really has the details. If you are a fan of the show, you know that the hosts have changed but the home improvement experts remain. I recommend this DVD set to anyone who owns a house and is interested in how it works or could work better. The DVDs contain all the broadcast shows (26) of the first season of Ask This Old House, plus a nice compilation of home improvement tips and frequently asked questions on the fourth disc. The true genious behind this series is the real life problems that these experts solve. A plumbing and heating expert, a general contractor and a landscaper contractor are the main three experts that answer every day questions. Hosted by Steve Thomas, guest experts join in to solve problems that give me energy to tackle projects around the house. The series This Old House was beginning to get beyond my abilities as a do it yourself homeowner, and Ask This Old House brings it back to smaller, weekend type projects. The discs are well organized with a nice table of contents printed on the inner DVD holder. However, that is where the printed material ends; all other information is inside the DVDs. I believe a small booklet that shows more detail for navigation of the four discs would be appropriate, especially listing all the tips included on the fourth disc."
