Laundry Day Made Easier | Refurbishing Old Radiators | Get Your Rental Security Deposit Back | Ep #2288
SHOW NOTES:
Laundry Room: Doing the laundry is less of a chore with a well-designed laundry room. Here are things to consider when planning that place.
Cast Iron Radiators: You can't beat cast iron radiators for adding both comfort and charm to old homes. We’ve got ideas for refurbishing old radiators.
Rental Deposit: When your lease ends, how can you be sure to get your security deposit back? Make your rental look its best with these 5 tips.
Plus, answers to your home improvement questions.
Refinishing Old Wood: Susan wants to refinish the old wood that was behind the sheetrock of her walls. She’ll need to sand, seal, and stain the wood pieces before adding varnish.
Installing a Steam Room: Can you convert a shower into a steam room? It’s a great idea that will add value to Victor’s home and we offer info about a steam shower generator.
Insulating a Roof: After a peaked roof is installed over a flat roof, should you add insulation? We agree Monica can add insulation and remind her to have enough ventilation, too.
Structural Support: Brendan bought a home that’s raised on piers and was made level after sagging in the middle. Should he add sand to prevent further erosion? He’d be better off installing gutters to direct water away from the foundation.
Electrical Wiring: Does electrical wiring need to be replaced when a new electrical box, outlets, and switches are installed? As long as it’s not old knob and tube wiring and it’s been wired correctly, Christine can leave it alone.
Laminate Flooring: Frazier is putting laminate flooring over terracotta Mexican pavers. Floating floors with foam underlayment attached should be easy to install and keep things level.
Crawlspace: Is it a good idea to dig out a crawlspace to make more room? We warn Sara it’s a bad move because the soil can shift and undermine the house foundation.
Light Switches: Russ says his three-way light switch has stopped working correctly. The failure can be at any point and it’s a good idea to have an electrician trace the wiring.
