I fondly remember watching This Old House as a child watching Bob Vila take old run down homes and through the power of his will make them new again. Unknown to me, it seems this god of home improvement has a blog.

His carpentry holiness has deemed The Sietch worthy of praise. It seems one of his demigods Ben has posted about our DIY solar thermal project on Bob’s (may I address you by your first name your highness?) Blog.

Check it out. Unreal.

I guess the members of The Sietch have reached the big time, when Bob Villa himself (or someone under his holy control) highlights your lowly accomplishments. Thanks Bob, and thanks Ben. We will be posting more interesting projects soon, stop by soon to check them out.

Until then, I have this 1865 farm house that needs to be completely gutted and the foundation shored up, but the siding must be preserved…
