> The unrealistic element in TOH is possibly down to sponsors or donations Or budget. How does This Old House select project houses? This Old House chooses two projects each season. The fall project is usually located in or around our base of Boston, so that the crew can stay close to home for a significant part of the season. The winter project is generally located in a mild climate where outdoor work may be undertaken during the winter months. The renovations are completely funded by the homeowners and not by This Old House, though the show arranges for product discounts and donations where possible. All donated items are considered gifts and the homeowners pay taxes on them.
