Chill on a Budget: Free Ways to Cool Your Home | Stress-Free, Mess-Free Tiling Tip | Painter Smarter, Not Harder with an Airless Paint Sprayer | Ep #2322
SHOW NOTES:
Cooling Your Home: Beat the heat and save money with free ways to cool your home.
Installing Tile: Get your tiling project done faster and cleaner with this trick of the trade.
Paint Sprayer: New airless paint sprayer technology lets you paint smarter without working harder.
Plus, answers to your home improvement questions.
Soundproofing: Darlene wants to block out noise between the apartment walls. Mineral wool insulation and sound-deadening drywall will help keep things quiet.
Loose Tiles: When floor tiles come loose, Tony finds out how to remove them, replace the grout, and use mastic adhesive to reset the tiles again.
Brick Steps: How can Mia remove worn carpet that’s glued to her brick steps? It would be much easier to install pavers or outdoor ceramic tile over the steps.
Tin Roof: It’s getting hot under the tin roof on Dan’s screened porch! We suggest applying radiant barrier paint to the top of the roof to reflect the heat.
Window Condensation: The picture windows are all fogged up from trapped moisture. There’s no remedy for thermal pane seals that fail, so Sally will have to live with the foggy view or replace the windows.
Peeling Vinyl Floor: Areas of the sheet vinyl flooring are peeling up and glue’s not working. Anna should consider replacing the floor with luxury vinyl planking.
Whole House Fan: The spray foam is working great in Phil’s house but there are times he’d like to use the whole house fan. He should construct a duct from the fan to a gable vent to bypass the attic.
Tree Roots Under a Patio: Should Courtney build a brick patio near damaging tree roots? She needs to either get rid of the roots or build a deck above grade.
Concrete Driveway Repair: What’s the right way to replace a sunken area of a concrete driveway? It’s most important for Larry to compact crushed gravel well enough to make a solid base before pouring new concrete over it.
Metal Roof: Should you install a metal roof over existing shingles? Darlene learns why it’s a very bad idea that could damage her investment.
Deck Stain: Why does the stain on horizontal deck surfaces wear out so fast? John should replace the semi-transparent stain with longer-lasting solid stain.
Do you have a home improvement or decor question? Call the show 24/7 at 888-MONEY-PIT (888-666-3974) or post your question here. Sponsored in part by policygenius.com.
