Best Way to Budget Home Projects | Hassle-Free Wallpaper Removal | Easy Compost Tips for Leaves | Ep #2262
SHOW NOTES:
Home Improvement Costs: What are the most popular home renovation projects and what do they cost? How to budget for remodels and repairs.
Wallpaper Removal: Getting rid of outdated wallpaper can be a chore, but we’ve got tips on making wallpaper removal less of a hassle.
Composting Leaves: Once all those fall leaves have been raked up, don’t just drag them to the curb. Find out how to compost leaves for next year’s garden.
Plus, answers to your home improvement questions.
Electrical Wiring: An old home has a mix of old and new outlets and wiring. Lisa learns why it’s always safer to update electrical wiring and outlets and keep things grounded.
Updating Formica: Mark needs to make his dark Formica countertop lighter. We offer info on a great product that gives the beautiful look of granite.
Wood Countertop: Anne wants to install an undermount sink with a hardwood kitchen countertop. We caution her that wood is hard to maintain and suggest some easier alternatives.
Exterior Paint: Why does exterior paint keep bubbling and chipping even after the siding was primed? The previous paint job may not have been done properly, so Dana will have to strip the surface and use a bonding primer, then repaint.
Cleaning Windows: Is there a lazy way to clean windows? Marie will still need some effort to avoid streaking and clouding on the windows.
Metal Roofing: Where can you find information about the different grades of metal roofing? Joe learns about a helpful website with lots of details on why metal roofs are a good investment.
Plumbing: Mary will be installing a whole house water filter but doesn’t know where the underground lines are. We tell her where to look for the location of the main water valve inside her home, where the filter will be attached.
Sink Insulation: Is there a way to insulate a kitchen sink to keep standing water warm? Jim may need to get creative with spray foam insulation or an insulating blanket.
Wet Basement: After a long drought, Cindy is suddenly getting moisture in her basement when it rains. She’ll need to check the drainage in her gutters, downspouts, and grading around the house to solve the problem.
Cabinet Hardware: The selection of doorknobs and cabinet hardware that Russell has found is disappointing. We’ve got tips on finding more variety through cabinet hardware websites to update his kitchen.
