Consumer Reports Worst Appliances | Weekend Countertop Makeover | Managing Shower Moisture | Ep #2152

SHOW NOTES:

  • If we had to name a project that can really change the look of a kitchen, or even a bath, replacing the countertop would be high on the list! But while removing and replacing a countertop is a costly and complicated project, simply restoring the surface with a stone coating is not. We show you how to do it in a weekend!
  • There’s nothing like a good, steamy shower – BUT too much moisture can cause paint to peel, and mold to grow. We’ll share a solution to keep that moisture in check.
  • Consumer Reports runs thousands of products through thousands of tests every year to find the ones that provide the best performance and value. But they also point out many to avoid. We’ll share appliances that earned the not-so-prestigious do-NOT-buy recommendation.

    • Plus, answers to your home improvement questions:

    • Brian from Delaware and wants to know more about the best water softening systems to get rid of hardwater.
    • Marta in Iowa has concrete steps that are separating from her driveway and needs a solution.
    • Doug in Texas has a 30-year-old home and wants to know the best way to add insulation to his attic.
    • Susan from Pennsylvania wants to know how to scare off a woodpecker eating away her home.

    • Alberta from Arkansas wants to make it easier to open up her vinyl drop down windows.
