Hi there. I’m Deborah Hood, the producer of This OldHouse, and (maybe surprisingly?) one ofonly two people who works exclusively on this TV show day in and day out. (Thereare many others of course, but they also work on our show Ask ThisOld House.) The other one is our associate producer, Jennifer Wells, andthis year, we’re both going to join in with the homeowners on this blog to giveyou behind-the-scenes scoop on what it takes to pull off these renovationswhile, at the same time, making a national TV show.
So for the first time ever, I am announcing our new projectin cyberspace. Which is fitting, because it is one of the most forward-thinking projects we’ve done inyears. For the 2008-9 broadcastseason, we’re trying something new…

Here I am with Amy (she's the one in the yellow hardhat) on oneof our very first film days, just last week. (Photo by Pete Favat)
We are just days away from startingto build a brand new timberframe house, which is pretty cool in itself. The kick is that 75% of it will bepre-built (that’s right, PREFAB) in a workshop in New Hampshire. It will be a newhouse made to feel like an old barn, and one that’s builtsustainably for the coolest family going: Amy and Pete Favat, andtheir kids, Cian and Juliette.
Keep checking in, because you’ll be hearing from them next.
So let’s see how it goes. I am hoping to send in photos and posts from the road, theoffice, the field, wherever?in order to share some cool stories andinformation that might not make it on the show. But don’t let all of this “new” stuff fool you?atheart, we’re still “old house” people, dedicated to demystifying home renovationand repair, while celebrating good design and quality craftsmanship. It’s just that we couldn’t resist theopportunity to switch it up and build new, and to take you on an exploration ofwhat might be the future of home building. Let’s try it. Stick with us. Here we go…
