Ask This Old House

Original Air Date: Week of March 6, 2003

Plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey examines homeowner Kerry Goodwin's leaky shower tub faucet. Together, they purchase the replacement parts from a local plumbing supply company and repair the fixture. Then Richard, general contractor Tom Silva, landscape contractor Roger Cook, and host Steve Thomas examine an unfamiliar object and try to guess how it's used. Painting expert Jim Clark helps homeowners Kathleen and Kevin O'Connor remove painted wallpaper. And back in the loft, Tom and Steve demonstrate several hot glue guns, including a new cordless model.
