Roger Cook...This Old House...

[cr8crshr]

Sadly will not be down today. I have been a fan of This Old House for many years but haven't been able to tune in on Saturdays due to the time differences so it has been a while. The guys always had some insightful tips and offerings for the DIY homeowner. Sadly after a long illness, he will be sorely missed...RIP Roger...cr8crshr/Bill

RIP. I've learned a lot and still watch those shows. Very empowering, kinda like this place. Norm Abrams on New Yankee WorkShop is another one of my heroes.

I knew his time was short. I'll miss him, I learned to speak "New England" through him and Tommy.

I've enjoyed watching Ask This Old House over the years, but it hasn't been as good the last few. I guess I liked the chemistry the original guys had going. I learned more than a few things watching. I also knew he was in decline, but no one ever said what exactly his condition was. R.I.P. Roger.
