Best Gutter Guards | New Options for Insulation | Shocking Termite Trouble | Ep #2134

Listen Later

SHOW NOTES:

  • As we head into Fall, it’s a good time to assess your home’s insulation needs. Most homes simply don’t have enough and that results in higher than necessary heating bills as well as a very uncomfortable space. We’ll share a new insulation product that’ll allow you to get the insulation job done fast and safe.
  • Fall is also the time of year when beautiful foliage assembles into a rotted rooftop mess when gutters get clogged! We’ll explain how a clogged gutter can lead to everything from washed out landscaping to a seriously damaged foundation. Plus, we look at the most popular gutter guards and talk about what works and gutter guards to avoid.
  • Termites typically show up in Spring but one homeowner learned the hard way that’s not always the case. Find out what happened when thousands of termite wings were discovered near a basement window and how to get rid of termites.
  • Construction adhesive can be a handy product for heavy duty projects like gluing a mirror to a wall or house numbers to brick, and many similar situations. But while it’s super strong it is also super messy. Now there’s a new double-sided construction adhesive tape can hold 300 lbs with no mess.

    • Plus, answers to your home improvement questions:

    • Rebecca from Kansas wants to know how to get a drywall look on top of wood paneling.
    • Chet from Michigan is curious if you can put a radiant barrier as insulation.
    • Mindy from Kentucky is asking if she can get rid of linoleum flooring.
    • Ron is having a mouse problem in his walls.
    • Cheryl is calling about dealing with a deck being built over a concrete patio that is broken up by a tree root.
    • Roxanne from Ontario wants to fix a leak on her roof of her upper duplex.
    • David from South Dakota wants to know if he must caulk in between the J-channel and window frame.
    • Rose Marie in New Jersey is having a hard time with her garage door lightbulb going out and wants to know how to fix it.
