In the Ask This Old House loft, landscape contractor Roger Cook and garden tool expert Paul Schneider discuss different types of hand pruners. General contractor Tom Silva helps two homeowners repair and reinstall their broken shutters. Back in the loft, host Steve Thomas, Tom, Roger, and plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey examine two unfamiliar objects and try to guess how they're used. Richard shows Steve several models of instantaneous water heaters, then visit a local homeowner to examine his tankless hot water system.
