This Old House Radio Hour: Fixing Knob and Tube Wiring + Patching Moldy Dry Wall + Alessandro Nivola's Brooklyn Row House

This week, we meet writer Patrick Hutchinson who bought a $7,500 off-the grid, moss-covered Craigslist cabin—and taught himself to fix it with YouTube and trial and error. How he went from clueless to carpenter and changed his life.

Actor Alessandro Nivola shares how his Brooklyn row house became a living tribute to Brutalism, family, and art history.
