This Old House Explains How Steam Showers Work

If you'd like to learn more about how steam showers work, you should read Steam Shower: How It Works - With one of these, it's no sweat to get a luxurious steam bath at home published in The Old House Magazine in the Jan/Feb 2008 issue. It is a fantastic resource for anyone considering a home steam shower. 

The History of This Old House 

In case you're wondering how This Old House got started, here's some background:

The founder of This Old House is Russell Morash. He came up with the idea of a home improvement public television program in 1976 while renovating his 1851 farmhouse in the Boston area:

"{It} will be more than a working model of rehab hints for homeowners and do-it yourselfers," he explained back in 1982. "This Old House will expand viewers' perceptions of what a home can be." Morash, whose forebears were carpenters and shipwrights, unknowingly had the idea that the series would launch a new genre of programming."

Furthermore,

"With 16 Emmy Awards and 79 nominations under its belt for This Old House, and five nominations for its companion series Ask This Old House, the No. 1 rated home improvement series still has audiences turning to America's favorite team of experts-host Kevin O'Connor, master carpenter Norm Abram, general contractor Tom Silva, plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey, and landscape contractor Roger Cook for a trusted and formidable source of expertise, along with wit, humor, and a great sense of camaraderie.

Twenty-nine years later, This Old House has grown into a multi-faceted lifestyle brand, inspiring and informing millions of adults every month about home improvement and renovation. It is the No. 1 multi-media home enthusiast brand, offering homeowners trusted information and expert advice through award-winning television, a highly-regarded magazine, a comprehensive line of books, and an information-driven Web site.
