I was in between football games yesterday and was searching the program guide when I came across “The new this old house”. I don’t hardly ever watch that show any more so I tuned in to see what was differant. The only thing that I noticed was that Steve Thomas was gone. I was just curious if any body new what happened to him.

Lucky for whom?

Who ever invented work didn't know how to fish....
j-lo?
Well I'm thinking he would be the lucky one if not for just a few hours
And that other guy she didn't marry. He's probably lucky too.

Ok dope slap me.
Who or what is j-lo?
(I don't have TV)
Who ever invented work didn't know how to fish....
Imerc,
I think she is the Great grand daughter of the Aunt Jemima, pancake lady.
I don't think there's a resemblance to the Aunt.
Imerc, Jennifer Lopez.
singer, actress, former betrothed to some famous actor.
she has nice presence.Remodeling Contractor just outside the Glass City.

Oh .. I know who Jennifer is, didn't known her nickname..
Who ever invented work didn't know how to fish....
J-lo
take out the l and move 5 letters back in the alphabet, you get a better description.
as for the new guy, I don't think he knows his way around a construction site, and I think that's just what TOH wanted, moving the show ever more towards to h/o's. Lots of H/O's out there, not many "pros" by comparison... I like him better then Steve, seeing one more pinkish shirt made have drove me mad.

Anything that has been unwrapped that many times hardly qualifies as a "present" . . . <g>Occupational hazard of my occupation not being around (sorry Bubba)

It's only 2003, and that is already a finalist in the Biggest Understatement of the 21st Century Awards!

Is the Jennifer Lopez "problem" her substantial derriere?
I for one would not think of it as a problem, but I'm old enough so that my dream gals were voluptuous Marilyn Monroe and Rita Hayworth types.
If this is not what you're referring to, consider me embarrassed!
yep, that's it. Her wedding dress maker was quoted in some news trivia column saying "it's not as big as you might think", but I did see a pic in American Photo that made her look about two axe handles wide...
Oh, on Marilyn:
Height:
5 feet, 5½ inches
Weight:
118-140 pounds
Bust:
35-37 inches
Waist:
22-23 inches
Hips:
35-36 inches
Bra size:
36D
Dress size said to be a size 12 at the time, however, a size 12 today is bigger than it was back then...
Not interested enough to track down the specs for J-Lo... So, so much for today's trivia.

Again, the size of J-Lo's booty is no problem as far as I'm concerned. I subscribe to the philosophy expressed in Spinal Tap's "Big Bottom". Since there are women on this board I'll refrain from quoting the lyrics...
Heap big woman you done made a big man out of me.................
Fat bottom girls you make the rockin world go round!!!!!!!!!!Mr T
Do not try this at home!
I am an Experienced Professional!
Yes! Or perhaps Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back": "I like big butts and I cannot lie..."
Well, we've strayed some from the topic of where Steve went, huh?
And for the 64 (cent) question:
The entertainment media often refer to the "J-Lo problem" - which refers to ____
(Is it really a problem?)
No telling why TOH changed front guys. Do know that the new guy has a much more distinct Boston accent. He doesn't seem to have as much "presence"as ST did. Does seem to be a banker on a construction show (more so on "Ask TOH").
The evidence is clear, the market needs, yea, demands--
"The Andy & Piff Show"!
Acording to TOH He decided to go on to other things on his own.

Dose the new guy seem to be blushing all the time. or is it just my old tv and my old eyes. Or maybe bad makeup job.
I think he's just one of those fair redheaded guys who has a "flush" look.
From what i understand, he's just a regular guy. Seems decent enough.
It also appears that the show chose him to "back up" a bit, and uses his novice standing to explain things from a more basic point of view.Jake Gulick

I watched TOH and Ask TOH with the new guy, Kevin, yesterday. Kevin seems like a twink to me; my mother opines that he's asking all those stupid questions on behalf of viewers who don't know as much about building as us "pro" types do. I think he's actually a dope:
DESIGNER: We stained these parquet floors dark to add contrast and character.
KEVIN: Uh huh. And why did you do that?
By the end of the show my eyes ached from the number of times they rolled back in my head in disbelief.
Re: the Boston accent, I'm from Maine but am very familiar with the Mass. accent, similar to but distinct from ours. I think people in the Midwest or South must lose their minds listening to these guys talk! Not a criticism, just an observation...
Steve is doing a show on DIY for Habitat for Humanity. From what I read it was his decision to leave.
After so many years consorting with such luminaries as Tom and Norm, that he had reached the point that he now knows it all.
This new guy, Kevin, says "OK" a lot. Notice that next time you watch.

Hey, I started this thread about Steve Thomas, How in the world did J Lo become the main topic. Haven't you all heard enough about her and Ben already. If we are going to talk about chics, did anyone here catch the all female Fear Factor tonight. If you did it just goes to prove that the best cleavage wins :-)
I read a TOH article the other day that talked about the new guy. He has a financial background with '0' construction experience. TOH did a job at his house and they said he never stopped asking all the subs a million questions. Apparently, Russell Morash thought that curious quality might make a good host. Those of us in the trades have a different description for it.
