Paint Colors that Pay Off | DIY Durable Garage Floors | Calling the Chimney Sweep | Ep #2145

Listen Later

SHOW NOTES:

  • A survey of 32,000 homes by Zillow showed painting with the right colors can help your home sell faster and make you more money in any real estate market. We’ll share the paint colors that really pay off.
  • Garage floors need to be one of the most durable floor surfaces in any house. They have to take the punishment of hot tires in the summer or dripping road salt in the winter, plus a ton of storage needs. We’ll share a finish that’s tough, durable and slip-resistant AND DIY! 
  • As the weather turns chilly, it might be time to light your fireplace for the first time this season. We’ll have the how-to you need to know to make sure your chimney, damper, and firebox are all safe.

    • Plus, answers to your home improvement questions:

    • Sam from Tennessee has a water pressure problem with his bathtub.
    • Laura is having an erosion problem with her sloped yard and wants to know what the best way to stop it is.
    • Dave from Washington wants to know if insulation tape he is using is fire safe?
    • Diane in South Dakota is having a problem with an uneven subfloor.
    • Louise is having salt deposit stains on her mailbox and wants to know the cause and how to clean it.
    • Darrin in Iowa is getting a frost on his basement wall and wants to know the cause.
    • Dorothy from New Jersey wants to know how to deal with Centipedes and Crickets in her basement.
    • Floyd from Iowa whether or not to put a plastic vapor barrier in a crawl space and if he should close his basement vents.
    • Janiese in Kansas is asking if she needs to seal an epoxy grout?
