SHOW NOTES:
Today’s show is about cleaning quirks, lush lawns, and illuminating insights. Listen as we discuss the one room we all dread cleaning, dig deep into the secrets of soil, and shed light on exterior lighting. Tune in for expert advice and ideas for all your home improvement questions!
- Bathroom Cleaning: It may be spring cleaning season, but this is the one room people most hate to clean.
- Lawn Care: Grow a lush lawn by using superior soil.
- Exterior Lighting: Add safety, security, and style with a great exterior lightscaping design.
 
Q & A:
- Deck Stain: Should Dawn use a sealant over her solid deck stain? There’s no need to seal the wood surface if she uses a good-quality deck stain.
- Replacement Windows: Steve has gotten a wide range of price quotes for replacement windows. We offer tips on choosing the best windows and getting reliable estimates on Angi.com.
- Sliding Doors: Moisture and ice are forming in the bottom rail of sliding doors. Sherry gets advice on how to check and adjust the door alignment to seal any gaps.
- Patio Addition: Mike has lots of reasons to be concerned about a sunroom that was built over a concrete patio slab. He needs advice from a structural engineer or architect.
- Cleaning Countertops: What’s the best way to clean a granite countertop? Janet learns that granite requires regular maintenance and gets suggestions on products to use.
- Roof Leak: Josh wants to paint over a water stain in his bathroom ceiling. First, he should replace the rubber gasket and flashing around the roof vent pipe.
- Lighting Cords: How can you hide the cords from LED lighting in the bathroom? Patrice has some options for lighting fixtures or can have an electrician run the wires behind the trim work.
- Basement Flooring: Is engineered wood flooring alright to install in a basement? Jack can use engineered wood that’s rated for basements or consider laminate flooring.
- HVAC Noise: Tammy’s new furnace makes a buzzing noise when it turns on. It could be a bad sign that the breaker box is deteriorating and should be checked by an electrician.
