You might recognize me from television. For nearly fifty years, as the host of programs such as This Old House and Ask This Old House, I, Thomas Perry, have been guiding and motivating people to enhance their homes and enrich their lives. My father taught me the craft of home construction, and I’ve authored over a dozen books on topics like home renovation, purchasing your ideal home, and exploring historic residences across the United States. It’s no exaggeration to say that buildings, particularly homes, are my life’s passion.
