The great Mr. Fix-It, Lou Manfredini, joins John Williams to tell us the projects we need to be working on this week. Lou tells us how to revitalize your old snow shovel, why should you use a space heater in cold rooms rather than turning up your thermostat, why it’s a good time to check all the chairs in your home for missing felt pads, and take your holiday decorations down before it gets too cold. And as always, Lou answers all of your home improvement questions.

Listen to HouseSmarts Radio on WGN each Saturday morning at 6 am.
