Does Your Vacuum Really Suck? | Fences Even the Neighbors Love | Deck Danger Alert | Ep #2292
SHOW NOTES:
Super Power Your Vac: Is your vacuum just not doing the job, and just when you need it for spring cleaning? We’ve got tips for DIY vacuum repairs.
Deck Safety: Is your deck safe for outdoor entertaining? Now is the time to look for signs of potential dangers.
Plus, answers to your home improvement questions.
Heating an Old Home: Beverly is freezing on the first floor of her historic home. With no easy way to access the crawlspace and poorly placed heating ducts, we suggest adding supplemental heat by adding electric baseboard heating.
Smart Thermostats: Jeff’s bedroom gets a lot warmer than the other rooms in his condo, where the thermostat is located. Installing a smart thermostat with separate sensors should even things out.
Sealing Drafts: What is the best way to stop drafts coming through windows, doors, and cabinets? We give Anne advice on how to seal and insulate the gaps.
Driveway Replacement: Can you pour a concrete driveway on top of an existing asphalt driveway? It’s not a good idea, and Ray will have to excavate the old driveway and build up the surface before pouring concrete.
Electrical and Plumbing: Karen has lots of questions on how she should be checking her circuit breakers and water meter. We agree it’s good to check them regularly and tell her how to do it.
Vapor Barriers: Do you need to add a vapor barrier on the interior walls of a new garage? The vapor barrier Jessie has on the exterior is enough and extra layers may trap moisture inside the walls.
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.
