SHOW NOTES:

In this show, we’ll offer tips for a successful home addition, reveal a surprisingly easy method to build stone features like fire pits and garden beds, and discuss the benefits of upgrading your electric panel. Plus, we’ve got expert advice for callers with home improvement questions you’ll want to hear!

- Electrical System: Find out 5 shocking reasons to stay current with an electrical panel upgrade.

- Outdoor Masonry Ideas: Building outdoor features is as easy as stacking blocks with this innovative DIY system.

- Home Additions: These are 3 things to consider when planning the right home addition.

Q & A:

- Pest Control: Cody is looking for an affordable way to control scorpions and bugs. Natural products like boric acid, cedar oil, and lavender plants are possible options.

- Roof and Attic Fan: Should Mary replace the attic fan with a new roof? We recommend using a ridge vent instead of an attic fan, but she can still use a whole-house fan.

- Popping Nails: Nails keep popping through the sheetrock. Bob should use screws instead, or overlap the head of the original nail with a second one to hold it in.

- Wildlife: Chipmunks are getting inside Linda’s steel building. We suggest adding siding material to cover any gaps and using spray foam insulation to fill them.

- Outdoor Septic: Peter’s soil stack vent freezes solid in winter. He should insulate the pipe up to the point where it exits the roof.

- Ceiling Mold: A roof leak left a mold stain on Wendy’s ceiling. She can clean it with a bleach solution, then use a good primer before repainting the ceiling.

- Water Heater: Harry is curious about tankless water heaters, but he should look at heat pump water heaters instead since he has an electrical system.
