Ask This Old House
S01E04 Air Eliminator; Saving the Trim; Filling the Gaps
Richard stops by a homeowner's residence to fit an air eliminator valve into her hydronic heating system, which helps minimize the need for yearly upkeep. At the Ask This Old House barn loft, Tom demonstrates techniques for removing nails carefully without harming the trim of a door frame. Meanwhile, Steve and Roger tackle the annual servicing of a snow blower. Steve seeks advice from Jim on the best methods to clean and maintain old paintbrushes. Tom also makes a house call to a young couple, teaching them how to use sisal and jute rope to fill the gaps in their 160-year-old pine flooring.
