Is Solar Energy Worth It? | Stop Waiting for Hot Showers! | The Draftiest Spot You’re Forgetting to Seal | Ep #2290
SHOW NOTES:
Solar Energy: Is solar energy right for your home? Learn 5 reasons why it’s worth going solar.
Hot Water: Tired of waiting for the shower to get hot enough? Here’s how to get hot water faster and with less waste.
Sealing Drafts: Are you still feeling a draft, no matter how much weatherstripping and insulation you’ve used? There’s a spot you probably missed.
Plus, answers to your home improvement questions.
Flooring: Ann wants to install ceramic tile flooring that looks like wood. It’s a popular choice with lots of good options for style, color, and texture.
Structural Issues: In his rush to buy a home, Jason overlooked a hump in the main beam that’s making the floor sag. He needs a structural engineer to examine the problem and determine the right way to fix it.
Drywall Cracks: A random earthquake caused a long crack across the wall and ceiling. Nicole gets tips on using perforated drywall tape and spackle to repair it.
Chimney: What is the best way to seal a chimney to prevent drafts? It can be done, but we suggest that Jim install a removable damper on top of the chimney liner.
Squeaky Floors: Can you fix a squeaky floor without removing the carpeting? We tell Kenneth how to find the floor joists and use galvanized nails to stop the squeak.
Sink Odors: What’s that stinky odor coming from the bathroom sink? Cindy should use a bottle brush to scrub scummy buildup inside the pipes.
Driveway Repairs: How should you repair pitted areas of a concrete driveway? We recommend an epoxy-based concrete patching product that Rich can use.
Granite Countertops: Pauline is seeing white mineral deposits on her granite countertops. We’ve got a recipe for a homemade granite cleaner to use before having them resealed.
Shower Mold: John has tried everything he can think of to prevent mold around the shower door. We give him a few more steps to take to keep mildew away.
