Ask This Old House (Season 1, 1995) [DVDrip (AVI)]

This is a branch-off from ‘This Old House’ where viewers ask how to do stuff around the home and garden. The ATOH team of experts do a fix usually with 2 or 3 home visits per show by one of the team members. They show in depth how to do all sorts of repairs and upgrades from changing washers on taps/faucets to getting rid of mosquitos from the BBQ area usually getting the homeowner to do the job by teaching them how. There is a lot of tuition regarding what are the right tools for the job and how to use them.

“We take on some pretty big projects at This Old House, which means we can only work on one or two houses a year. But homeowners have a virtual truckload of questions for us on smaller projects, and we’re ready to answer. Ask This Old House solves the steady stream of home improvement problems faced by our viewers—and we make house calls! Ask This Old House features some familiar faces, including Steve Thomas, general contractor Tom Silva, plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey, and landscape contractor Roger Cook.”
