SHOW NOTES:

  • Summertime Home Checklist: Get your home ready for summer with 4 easy projects for your outdoor living.
  • Stepping Stone Pathway: We’ve got step-by-step instructions on how to create the perfect stepping stone pathway.
  • Roof Leaks: The best way to fix a roof leak is to detect them before they happen. Here’s what to look for.

     Plus, answers to your home improvement questions.

    • Painting Wood Siding: What’s the best way to paint T1-11 siding? Sean learns that a quality primer is important and a paint sprayer can make the job easier.
    • Sliding Door Tracks: Tracy’s got hardened grit in her sliding door tracks. We suggest a stiff brush and a vacuum to remove the gunk and using some white lithium grease on the tracks.
    • Deck Stain: Scott wants to use a transparent stain on his cedar deck. He should consider a solid deck stain that will last longer and cover the lumber mill stamps.
    • Sealing Tile: Do you need to seal glazed ceramic floor tiles? Laurel should only need to use silicone-based grout sealant as soon as the tile is installed.
    • Types of Insulation: How do choose between open-cell and closed-cell insulation? Mark finds out the advantages of each.
    • Metal Roofing: Russ wants to install a metal roof on his big old barn. A professional roofer can attach it to the existing furring strips and deal with the steep pitch of the roof.
    • Motion Sensor Light Switch: Can you add a motion sensor on two-way room switches? We explain how Pam can do it and what mode to use.
    • Flies: Nels is getting pestered by flies coming from the furnace return ducts. He should ask a pest expert about a possible nest in the house.
    • Bathroom Mold: Those black spots on the bathroom wall look like mold. Heather gets tips on using a bleach solution, a bath exhaust fan, and mildewcide.
    • Cracking Concrete: The edges of the cement porch are cracking and crumbling. Cheryl can either resurface the entire porch or use a cement patching product.
