Listen Later

SHOW NOTES:

  • Refinishing Kitchen Cabinets: Find out affordable DIY options to refinish drab kitchen cabinets.
  • Chimney Safety: Before starting a cozy fire this season, see if you need a chimney liner to keep things safe.
  • Tile Stain Removal: Cleaning tile floors can be challenging, but we’ve got tips on how to remove the most stubborn tile stains.

     Plus, answers to your home improvement questions.

    • Attic Space: Limited access to the attic makes it impossible to install insulation. We’ll tell Mark how to cut the drywall to make the attic openings bigger.
    • Air Cleaners: Too much dust? Ann learns an electronic air cleaner for her HVAC system will be more effective than fiberglass filters for reducing the dust and pollen in her home.
    • Driveway Stains: Tom’s truck left oil stains on his unsealed concrete driveway. He can use TSP to clean the driveway stains without having to pressure wash.
    • Hot Water Pressure: Brrrrr! Elsie gets a jolt each time her hot water turns cold in the shower. She needs a new pressure-balanced valve to maintain the water temperature.
    • Bathroom Condensation: There’s lots of moisture in the bathrooms, even with vented exhaust fans and dampers. We advise Eddie to install a humidistat timer to keep the air moving long enough to dry things out.
    • Carpet Cleaning: Yuck! It looks like mold is growing on the carpeting on Sue’s concrete slab porch. We think it’s just algae that can be cleared up by using a steam cleaner.
    • Asbestos Siding: Iron in the well water has left an unappealing golden glow on the asbestos concrete siding. Using TSP to clean it won’t be enough and Louis will have to paint the siding to cover the stains.
    • Plaster Walls: Cynthia’s got questions about the plaster walls in her old house from 1896. We explain the history of wall materials through the years.
    • Painting Cabinets: What’s the best way to paint wood bathroom cabinets that have been stained? Carol gets step-by-step tips on refinishing the cabinets and what products to use.
