40 minutes

SHOW NOTES:

Winter weather can be especially hard on your home’s plumbing system – especially if your pipes freeze and break. We’ll share simple tips to stop this from happening this holiday season.

Now that we’ve sailed past Thanksgiving, Christmas is right around the corner so if you’re thinking about decking those halls – you might be wondering whether you should go with a fresh or fake tree this year. Coming up – we’ll talk pros and cons of each, including some tips on how to choose the freshest fresh tree available.

If you have an older house with beautiful – but drafty – windows, then adding a storm window may be a smart move, especially because today’s storm windows have gone high-tech with coatings that make them even more efficient – details ahead.

Plus, answers to your home improvement questions:

Dena in Iowa has floor to ceiling brown paneling and wants to know how she can cover it up.

Luke from North Carolina has floors that are buckling and wants to know how to fix it.

Christy in Delaware has a back porch that has chipped away around her storm door.

Rudy from Tennessee had a leaky roof that was fixed but still may have moisture in the drywall after having it replaced.

Marilyn in South Dakota wants to know how to preserve kitchen cabinets from her old home and put them in her new home.

John from New York wants to know how to slope soil away when there is an overwhelming grade from the property going into the house to deal with overflowing.

Anna needs help with a sticky doors after having her doors repainted.

Brian in Washington is having a problem with bleeding galvanized nails and wants to know how to fix it.
