2004-10-04

In this season's premiere episode, we journey to Beverly, Massachusetts, where Roger instructs new homeowners Todd and Chrissy Fratzel on how to effectively edge their lawn and flower beds. Meanwhile, in the loft, Tom shares tips on selecting the appropriate drill bits. The team then engages in a fun segment of "What Is It?" to test their knowledge. Lastly, Kevin heads to the Boston Fire Department Training Center, where he learns about picking the right fire extinguisher from Captain Hugh Duffy.
