Are Plastic Water Heaters Worthwhile? Richard weighs the pros and cons of a plastic tank water heater.

Determining what type of water heater will work best for you depends on a variety of factors, including how long you plan to live in the house, whether you use gas or electricity, and how much energy efficiency you hope to gain from the tank. Carefully consider these factors before deciding what water heater should be installed.

The plastic water heater featured in the segment is the Marathon electric water heater manufactured by Rheem, and can be found at home centers.

While the tank itself has a lifetime warranty, the parts on the tank will still need to be replaced periodically, so check in with your local plumber to make sure he or she is comfortable servicing this type of tank.

Mauro teaches a homeowner how to paint a metal door.

Mauro used DTM, or direct-to-metal, paint that can be found at most home centers and paint supply stores. The paint was manufactured by Benjamin Moore in the color "Black Beauty".

Other supplies for this project, including foam rollers and a synthetic angled sash brush, are sold at home centers and paint supply stores.

How to Match Mortar; Mark explains how to match mortar for repointing jobs.

Matching mortar can be a trial-and-error job. Keep track of the quantities of lime, sand, and Portland cement used in each test sample and let each sample dry before matching it to the mortar being repointed.

If the mortar is not gray, then it has a dye added to it. Locate the nearest brickyard and ask someone there to help match the color.

Most of the materials required for matching and making mortar and also for repointing can be found at home centers and brickyards.

Generation Next | How to Cut Wood Joints

Tom teaches apprentice Austin how to make a variety of different wood joints by building simple utility boxes.

Utility boxes can be built out of basically any type of wood and with a variety of fasteners, both of which are available at home centers and lumber yards.

The wood glue Tom used to assemble each box was manufactured by Gorilla Glue.
