Presented by Georgia Public Broadcasting, "Home Diagnosis" is "This Old House" meets "CSI". It is the first program ever dedicated to promoting measured home performance, building science concepts & forensic testing, while highlighting best practices for home improvements/high performance building proven through diagnostics. Led by YouTube Home Performance expert Corbett Lunsford and his wife Grace, they travel the nation in their high performance tiny house, #TinyLab, the foil for each episode’s home. Along the way, they meet with homeowners to diagnose their mystery problems and prescribe real solutions to help them prove their home is a safe, healthy, comfortable place for their family, as well as addressing the public television audience and informing them on how these lessons can apply in their homes as well.

Episode 104 Brooklyn, NY “1600’s verses #TinyLab"
Tour the history of Home Performance with hosts Grace and Corbett by pitting today’s homeowner expectations against the earliest days of America. Using the TinyLab, the world’s highest performing tiny house on wheels that Corbett and Grace built, they compare it against the Wyckoff House, New York’s oldest surviving structure dating back to the Dutch colonies in the 1600s, also originally self-built as a one-room family homestead. After generations of additions can the past ever measure up to modern performance standards?
