Listen Later

SHOW NOTES:

  • Decorating on a Budget: Get 5 money-saving ideas for sprucing up your home without spending a fortune.
  • Backyard Water Features: Make a splash by creating your own backyard water feature.
  • Garage Sales: One person’s trash is someone else’s treasure, so get ready for a successful garage sale.

    Plus, answers to your home improvement questions.

    • Dehumidifiers: A heat pump is not designed to remove humidity, but Pat may consider using a whole-house dehumidifier to remove moisture in the air.
    • Drainage: Vince has water coming through the concrete floor in his three-season room. He should install a curtain drain to intercept and discharge the water.
    • Pool Repairs: An old pool has deck cracks and some exposed rebar. There are products Barb can use to repair and refinish the problem areas.
    • Garage Door Opener: Bob wants advice on getting a surge protector for a faulty garage door opener. It’s an unusual problem but we recommend a good brand to look into.
    • Kitchen Sink Styles: Kathy is considering replacing her double kitchen sink with a single sink. It’s a personal preference, but a single bowl offers more space and convenience.
    • Soundproofing: What’s the best way to soundproof an upstairs movie room? Jerry gets tips on using soundproofing drywall and sealing gaps to muffle the sounds.
    • HVAC Upgrade: Is it worth upgrading a radiant heating system in an old home? A heat pump is more affordable and efficient, but it may not be necessary if Janey is about to sell the house.
    • Kitchen Range Vent: Cold wind blows through the vent over David’s kitchen range. He needs to check the gasket, seal, flashing, and vent door springs.
    • Asbestos: Maryann is worried about finding asbestos when pulling up an old linoleum floor. It should not be an issue, but she can have it tested for asbestos to be sure.
