    Go back to the beginning with This Old House and take a look the first project in Dorchester, Mass., which the show bought, renovated and sold in 1979. Then Norm Abram and Kevin O'Connor go to Carlisle, Mass., where they discover an 1849 Greek Revival farmstead that's big on charm, but needs a lot of work to be comfortable for a modern family. At the end of the day, general contractor Tom Silva, plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey, Norm, and Kevin are convinced that the renovations are manageable, and that the price is right, so This Old House decides to put in a bid.
