Ask This Old House Season 7 Episode 2 Mature Tree; Noisy Heating System

In season 7 episode 2 of Ask This Old House, the crew tackles two homeowner dilemmas. The first issue is with a mature tree that has been growing too close to the house and causing damage to the roof and gutters. Host Kevin O’Connor visits the home to assess the situation and then enlists the help of tree expert Roger Cook to safely remove the offending branches. Roger walks the homeowners through the process of proper pruning and recommends some preventative measures to keep the tree at a safe distance in the future.

The second problem the homeowners are dealing with is a noisy heating system.
