Bob Villa is no idiot..IMO Bob Villa is an idiot.
Last time I caught him on a show, he was "helping" build a brick wall. They left a gap in the wall for him to put in the last brick. He buttered the bottom and slapped it onto place, but forgot to butter the sides.
He stepped to the side and mentioned how easy it was to get "pro" results easily. You could see the brick layers staring at the gaps on the sides of the brick crack smiles when he made that comment.

Norm Abram is Retiring
Norm Abram's retirement from This Old House was announced yesterday.
https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220519005404/en/This-Old-House%C2%AE-to-Air-Tribute-Special-to-Master-Carpenter-and-Television-Trailblazer-Norm-Abram
PBS will air a tribute show to him titled The House that Norm Built. While Norm is 72 and has not appeared on camera for a while, it is sad to see him described as "hanging up his tool belt." I hope he continues woodworking in his retirement, as 72 years old is certainly not too old to do most things with wood. I hope he isn't ill, and I wonder if there's a deeper story to this.
I'm hoping to see him on a YouTube channel, but he doesn't seem to have much of an online presence.
Here's to the legend himself!
