SHOW NOTES:

  • Front Porches: Learn how porches are making a comeback for year-round living space and outdoor relaxation.
  • Window Air Conditioners: Find out the right way to install a window air conditioner to cool your home quicker and more efficiently.
  • Extending Roof Life: Instead of replacing them, there’s a way to restore dried-out asphalt roof shingles and extend the life of your roof.

     Plus, answers to your home improvement questions.

    • Firepits: Katherine wants a homemade fire pit. We discuss options for portable metal fire pits and DIY kits to build a fire pit with bricks or pavers.
    • Getting Rid of Spiders: Daddy long-leg spiders have taken over Will’s garage. We suggest natural repellents, sticky traps, and vacuuming up the spiders and nests.
    • Whole House Fans: Instead of relying on ceiling fans and the AC fan, Marie gets information on installing a whole house fan to keep her house cool.
    • Bathroom Venting: Butch needs to redirect a bathroom vent in his attic so that it goes outside the house. We’ve got tips on where to locate it.
    • Jacuzzi Bathtub: Robin’s got multiple issues with her jacuzzi bathtub about mold in the pipes and faded fixtures. We have some answers to help.
    • Rotten Egg Smell: Dave has a rotten egg smell in his house. It may be coming from a bad anode rod in his water heater or high sulfur content in the water.
    • Moldy Odors: A den over the garage smells moldy after it rains. Gail needs to reduce moisture with better drainage and ventilation, plus a whole-house dehumidifier.
    • Water Treatment: Recurring rust stains on a concrete pool deck may be coming from iron in the groundwater that pools on the surface. Doug should put an iron filter in his sprinkler system to reduce the deposits and stains.
    • Replacement Windows: What type of window is best: vinyl, wood, or composite? Ellie’s first priority should be finding the most energy-efficient windows before choosing the material.
