S04E22 Cast-Iron Radiator and Bathtub; Grading; Wobbly Newel Post

2006-03-02

In the loft, plumbing and heating specialist Richard Trethewey demonstrates to host Kevin O'Connor how to fix damaged threads on a radiator using a drill and a tap. Next, landscaping expert Roger Cook assists a homeowner with a grading issue that’s leading to wood rot on her house's exterior. Following this, Richard, Kevin, and general contractor Tom Silva engage in a "What is it?" segment. Later, Tom teaches Kevin how to secure a shaky newel post. Finally, Kevin teams up with a tub refinisher to restore an old cast-iron bathtub, bringing it back to its former glory.
