SHOW NOTES:

In this show, get a grip on DIY projects with the right tape for every need, learn how to choose between building a deck or a patio, and enjoy clean, great-tasting water with an easy filtration system. Plus, hear answers to other home improvement questions from callers like you!

- Tape: When you need sticky solutions, this is where to get the right tape for every DIY project.

- Deck vs. Patio: Use these tips to decide whether a wood deck or a brick patio is right for your outdoor living space.

- Clean Water: Get clean, great-tasting water with an easy and compact water filtration system.

Q & A:

- Heated Floor: Jeanette has questions about the ease and expense of a DIY radiant heated floor. We suggest having it professionally installed and give tips on cutting costs.

- Fence: Ron wants to replace the wire fence to keep out wildlife. A chain-link metal fence would be the strongest option.

- Electrical: After changing her mind about basement lighting, Katherine needs to disconnect the live wiring and cover the fixture holes with plates or new drywall patches.

- Flagpole: Linda gets advice on how to attach a flagpole bracket to a porch column by drilling pilot holes, using longer screws, and adding a wood block on the uneven surface.

- Deck Cleaning: How can you clean cooking oil stains off a Trex deck? If using a TSP paste doesn’t work, Mark can flip the board over to the clean side.

- Windows: Can casement windows be replaced with double-hung windows? It may be easier for Russ to install better-quality casement windows.

- Concrete Stains: Winston can’t remove the stains on his concrete garage floor. Applying epoxy floor paint is an attractive and durable way to cover the surface.
