SHOW NOTES:
Heating Your Garage: Find out how to heat your garage so you can comfortably do DIY projects all year.
Hidden Storm Damage: The impact of storms isn’t always obvious. Here are some things to look for around your home.
Storing Window Screens: The change of seasons is a great time to clean and store your window screens. Learn the best methods to keep them in good shape.
Plus, answers to your home improvement questions.
Gutters: A narrow area of space between neighboring homes keeps filling with water. We tell Allison how to improve drainage and waterproof her basement.
Bathroom Vanity: Nick needs to know how to attach the top of his bathroom vanity to the base. We’ll share tips about keeping it secure with plumbing, adhesive, and caulk.
Wall Tile: Can you cover garage cement walls with tile? Shen finds out it can be done and how to reduce moisture with a waterproof membrane under the tile.
Decking: Andrew wants to install a hot tub on top of a deck. We’ll share info about building a wood frame with extra support and using durable Trex decking for the surface.
Insulation: Janet’s home addition isn’t insulated, but the open area underneath may provide the easiest access to install insulation where it’s needed.
Drop Ceilings: A basement renovation includes updating the ceiling, too. Gonzalo gets advice on putting up drywall, leaving the ceiling exposed, or installing a new drop ceiling.
Ceramic Tile Floor: Replacing carpet with ceramic tile flooring left gaps under the door trim. We explain how Mike can add plinth block to close the gap.
Security Systems: Sherry wants to install a security system in her rural home. With a Wi-Fi connection, she’s got plenty of affordable DIY options to keep her home safe.
Travertine Tile: The travertine tile in Steve’s kitchen has spots where things were spilled and dulled the glossy finish. We’ll suggest some products to help clean, seal, and polish the tile surface.
Fireplaces: Lynne wants to reface her brick fireplace that’s surrounded by library paneling. Adhering tile is a great option that can give it a beautiful new look.
Vinyl Flooring: Is it necessary to add a sound barrier to a vinyl floor that’s installed over a cement slab? We tell Tim that the included floor padding should be enough to muffle sounds.
