“Bob Vila, who inspired countless Baby Boomers to restore their old houses, is ready to help Echo Boomers with their do-it-yourself projects, too. Vila has completely remodeled his website, BobVila.com, which now offers digitized TV episodes and new home-related content that is easy to navigate, view and use.
“I have three kids who are part of the Millennial Generation, and like others in their 20s and 30s, they have moved into their first homes and started their own lives,” said Bob Vila, the most trusted name in home improvement. “Some young people are in fixer-uppers, some are juggling household and day-care expenses, and many are getting their first set of tools. They are budget conscious, environmentally aware and tech savvy – and so is the new BobVila.com.”
“Building Green” is a major theme of the updated and expanded BobVila.com, which includes three, never-before-aired videos in which Bob Vila visits a large Habitat for Humanity project in New York City; the home of Mary Richardson Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.; and the house that renowned architect Allan Shope built into a hillside.
“Each of these three green-building projects has its own, unique variables,” said Vila. “Viewers will watch Habitat for Humanity build a 50-unit apartment complex in the Bronx using as many environmentally safe products as possible. They’ll see if the Kennedys’ once-flooded home can be cleaned of mold and made healthy again. They’ll also tour the amazing home the Kennedys built using salvaged materials and state-of-the-art green technologies. And, they’ll meet Allan Shope, an architect who designed his triangular, earth-bermed home to be carbon-neutral, maximizing its heating and cooling efficiency, and minimizing its impact on the planet.”"
