Can You Guess the Germiest Place in Your Kitchen? | Seed vs. Sod for a Lush Lawn | Filthy Screen Cleaning | Ep #2294
SHOW NOTES:
Kitchen Cleaning: Are you sure your kitchen is really clean? You’ll never guess where the most germs are hiding!
Seed vs. Sod: Should you use seed or sod to get the lush, green lawn you want? We share the pros and cons of each.
Screen Cleaning: Before opening your windows, follow these tips to clean those dirty screens and let the fresh air in.
Plus, answers to your home improvement questions.
Kitchen Remodeling: Mark wants advice on buying budget kitchen cabinets for a DIY kitchen remodeling project. We share info on where he can find quality cabinets that are affordable and easy to install.
Tile Floor Grout: The grout is chipping around the bathroom floor tiles and may have been mixed incorrectly. Karen should have it removed and regrouted again.
Repairing Wall Cracks: Brian keeps trying to cover a crack in the bedroom wall, but we tell him the right way to sand, tape, and spackle the area so the crack won’t return.
Water Heater: Hot water from the electric water heater doesn’t last very long. It’s probably one of the heating elements that’s not working and Ruth should check the continuity on both coils.
Insect Control: Ick! Tara’s got earwigs under the siding and crickets in the basement. She needs to have a pest control service do a general spraying to solve both problems.
Window Replacement: Is it better to use new construction windows or replacement windows? Nick learns that replacement windows are a more economical and practical option and how to check for energy efficiency.
New Flooring: Can luxury vinyl plank flooring be installed over a laminate floor that’s glued down? Bob can do that as long as the surface is flat and solid and should be mindful of transition areas.
Tub Reglazing: What is the best way to refinish an old cast iron tub that’s rusted? Reglazing it can be a messy job and Margaret should consider having it removed.
Heat Pump Water Heater: Will an energy-efficient heat pump water heater affect the air temperature in the house? It won’t impact the air in Karl’s basement, but it will have a big impact on reducing his utility bills.
