It's pothole season! Here's an easy fix for any asphalt surface: All you need is a bag of asphalt patch (bitumen, technically) and basic tools. Bonus repair: Fix a dodgy window with glazing putty to secure the glass and seal leaks. Host Mag Ruffman demystifies home repair for a new generation of women (and guys too).

I’m enjoying seeing these again and had almost forgotten how many types of repairs you tackled. I love how I always find something relatable, such as regretting using new gloves on a messy job!

I'd completely forgotten too. Every new episode is a huge surprise when I screen it.

I loved when you did your impression! "They will never know I did a repair. It's so subtle"! ♥lol

No idea where that came from. Most days we were shooting I just let anything come out of my mouth and they'd cut anything too foul or too feeble!

You've done a way better job than our local city crews, they don't even clean out the potholes or tamp anything! Just toss some patch in the hole and move on, let traffic do the rest! What a joke! They need you as a supervisor/trainer!

Well thanks George. I think they employ the 'people will drive over it' philosophy so the tamping part is the responsibility of traffic. And the impacted asphalt in tire treads is just part of the fun for other drivers. I don't envy them their time constraints though. I had all the time in the world!
