In the loft, general contractor Tom Silva demonstrates to host Kevin O’Connor how to fix damaged laminate countertops. Next, landscape contractor Roger Cook assists a homeowner in reconstructing a brick walkway. Following that, Tom, Kevin, Roger, and plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey pose the question, "What is it?" Richard then presents Kevin with a variety of filters used in forced-air heating and cooling systems.
