Beside this, is Norm Abram retired from this old house?
Norm Abram Retiring. “After 21 seasons, “The New Yankee Workshop” is closing its doors, and its much-beloved host, Norm Abram, is going to focus on his personal projects and PBS's “This Old House,” according to Russ Morash, executive producer and director of “The New Yankee Workshop.””
Considering this, did Norm Abram retire?
“The New Yankee Workshop” may be over, but Norm is hardly retired. He just bought a new old house that he's renovating and he's mulling over ideas for a new shop, so he can keep building and building.
Abram lives with his wife, Elise, in a custom modified-classic two-story Colonial, timber-framed, home that he built in Carlisle, Massachusetts.
