Planning a Home Addition | Standby Generators | Worst Mold-Causing Household Item | Ep #2235
SHOW NOTES:
Home Additions: If you need a bigger home for your growing family, a home addition may be your best option. Here’s how to plan a home expansion.
Standby Generators: Losing power is a common headache after seasonal storms, but a reliable standby generator will keep the lights on and ensure your HVAC and appliances are up and running. We’ve got recommendations.
Preventing Mold: This common household item is one of the biggest causes of mold. Find out what it is and how to keep mold at bay.
Plus, answers to your home improvement questions.
Water Heater: What’s that leak under the hot water heater in Michael’s garage? It’s probably just the pressure relief valve, but it may still be time to replace the old water heater.
Termite Trouble: Heather’s about to buy a home, but a termite tunnel was found in the garage. We’ve got advice about termite inspection and who should pay for any termite damage and treatment.
Indoor/Outdoor Carpet: Does indoor/outdoor carpeting in a screened-in porch require an underlayer to prevent moisture? Tom has a unique suggestion on a product that Kendall could use.
Deck Stain: Phyllis asks if she really needs to wait six months before staining the deck she just replaced. Find out why treated lumber needs some time before stain is applied.
Lightbulbs: Fluorescent vs. LED and watts vs. lumens: Stuart wants to know the pros, cons, and differences when choosing among different types of lightbulbs.
Cooling the Attic: When Mary replaces her old shingles with an architectural roof, should she remove the attic fan? Tom recommends cooling the attic with a ridge vent instead.
Sliding Patio Doors: Hardened grit in the sliding door is making it difficult for Tracy to open and close. We’ve got tips on the best ways to clean out the gunk and keep things moving smoothly.
Houseflies: There’s more than just air coming from the ducts in Nels’ house; the furnace is blowing out flies, too. He needs to find and eliminate the nest.
