No, I don't think you are. Over the last year or two I have found that This Old House has got so involved in building and remodeling to the extent that the most things are way above what the home owner would want to do, with very little how-to being done. It has become more to a entertainment show rather than a how-to show in my opinion. That may be way they have made Ask This Old House so simple. A lot of things I see on this show, I think any home owner with a little thought and intelligence could do without help.
