For the first time ever, the experts at This Old House travel to Austin, Texas to transform an historic bungalow into an expanded, eco-friendly home with the help of a team of local green building experts. Newly married homeowners Michele Grieshaber and Michael Klug need more space to accommodate their modern lifestyle and Michaels two growing sons, Sam and David. Architect David Webber plans an architecturally sensitive and modest second floor addition, while local builder Bill Moore has some smart strategies for increasing the efficiency of the house, while preserving the old house charm. He begins with the biggest challenge of the project trying to level the houses pier and beam foundation that constantly shifts with the weather due to tough soil conditions. Master carpenter Norm Abram visits another green renovation that Bill recently completed in Travis Heights to see how green building can be tasteful, subtle, and truly mainstream.

This program which involves home improvement or development is really one of the best.

This is my all-time favourite home improvement programme, with real experts. You also get an insight into some gorgeous American locations as an added bonus.

I find it hard to watch property programmes- my 37YO brother was obsessed by the whole thing, & died because of it.He had just moved into a bigger house with his partner & was renovating when the relationship foundered & she moved out. Distraught & in a rage, he took a sledgehammer & started knocking great holes in the walls. Sadly, he smashed one of the main supporting beams & the ceiling came down on top of him. Apparently he lay there alone & in agony for several hours before expiring.
