SHOW NOTES:

(Episode Summary, and Links)

  • Have you ever taken a shower and received a blast of water that was freezing cold or scalding hot? That’s what we call shower shock! Tom explains exactly why this happens and how to stop the shower-shock for good.
  • By now, garages are usually a mess of toys, tools and toxins like lawn chemicals and paints – all of which are too close to each other for comfort. We share garage organization solutions that can help.
  • If you’ve ever tried to repair old, worn-out concrete by covering it with new concrete only to find it didn’t last, we’ll share a solution that will, and delivers a beautiful new finish in just a few hours.

    • Plus, answers to your home improvement questions:

    • John in Maryland wants to reno a small bathroom that contains the home’s water heater. He’s looking for a recommendation on the smallest possible water heater that will do the job.
    • Phyllis from New Jersey is buying a home built in the 1960’s and want to know what repairs to expect in an older home. Tom taps his 20-year’s worth of experience as a home inspector to share useful tips about homes built in that era.

    • Michelle in Iowa wants to build a firepit out of brick and needs a recommendation for the best type of mortar to use for her project.
    • Charlene from Louisiana has a low slope roof in bad shape and wants to know if she can replace it with a metal roof.
