- Wood Decks: After tearing down an old deck made of untreated lumber, David wants to know how to choose the wood for a new deck. We explain how to compare the ratings of pressure-treated wood depending on how it’s used.
- Cedar Shingles: Ivy may look lovely on exterior walls, but it causes lots of problems. We have advice for Lauren about restoring or replacing her cedar siding after removing the overgrown ivy.
- Floors: Is that dip in the bathroom floor caused by decay or a structural defect? Daniel finds out the most common cause and how to repair the floor to make it level again.
- Plumbing: Kate just discovered that her kitchen plumbing vent is sealed. It may have been overlooked when the vent was pressure-tested, but it should be okay to leave it alone if it’s not causing any problems.
- Insulation: What is the best way to upgrade insulation that’s blown into an attic? It’s a DIY project, but Doug needs to remove the old insulation first before adding new blown-in insulation that will provide a solid, targeted application.
- Molding: The nice bullnose corner molding in Natasha’s house has gotten dented over the years. We’ve got instructions on how to repair and repaint the molding without having to remove it.
- Window Leaks: The way Adam’s bay window and skylight line up seems to be causing some leaks. We’ll tell him how to add a diverter on the roof to redirect the water and put caulk around the windows to seal them better.
