S05E02 Faucet Aerator; Houseplants; Squeaky Floors
Richard Trethewey, a plumbing and heating specialist, assists a homeowner in swapping out a blocked aerator on the bathroom faucet. Meanwhile, in the loft, landscaping contractor Roger Cook teams up with plant expert Carrie Kelly to explore the ins and outs of houseplant care. Later, general contractor Tom Silva lends a hand to another homeowner, helping them silence a squeaky subfloor concealed beneath wall-to-wall carpeting by using unique "breakaway" screws.
