Nathan Gilbert enhances the shutters in a historic area of New Orleans, ensuring they align with the original design and materials. Jenn Nawada and Lee Gilliam provide insights on interpreting fertilizer labels and help viewers decide between organic and synthetic choices. Meanwhile, Heath Eastman replaces battery-operated smoke detectors with a hardwired combination alarm system. Before starting the installation, he consults a local fire chief for safety advice.
