Q & A:

- Windows: Brad likes the look of his old windows, but he needs advice for either having them repaired or installing replacement windows.

- Pool: Dorothy finds out the steps involved in having an inground pool removed and getting the space filled in.

- Ceiling: What material should Bryce use to replace the damaged wallboard in his bathroom ceiling? He can put water-resistant greenboard right over the existing drywall.

- Skylights: Will the light from a tubular skylight interfere with viewing TV in the daytime? Ginny shouldn’t have any problems from the diffused overhead light.

- Roofing: The old tar is cracking around the outside edges of Pete’s patio roof. It doesn’t seem like a good idea to patch the tar, and we recommend replacing the roof.

- Flooring: Robin is scraping up old carpet glue and wants to install vinyl plank flooring. If the flooring planks are rigid enough, they shouldn’t show any remaining lumps.

- Ventilation: Conrad is thinking of putting a solar-powered attic fan over the garage, but an attic fan is not a good idea if it will pull air from any living space and out through the attic.
