 SHOW NOTES: Welcome to The Money Pit and another episode of home improvement tips, with everything from wood care to landscape borders to fall planting in your garden. Plus, we’ve got expert advice for DIYers who reach out with their calls and emails. - Seasonal Wood Care: We'll walk you through simple steps to inspect, clean, and seal your deck, outdoor stairs, and wood trim, preparing them for the harsh fall and winter weather to ensure their longevity. - DIY Concrete Landscape Borders: Discover how to create stylish and functional decorative borders for your flower beds, driveways, and walkways using Quikrete products, adding instant curb appeal to your yard. - Fall Planting for a Spring Garden: Learn the secrets to a vibrant spring garden by planting now, including choosing bulbs like tulips and daffodils, and how to best prepare your garden beds for success. Q & A: - Russ from West Virginia called about flickering dining room lights when his electric water heater activates. We explained that this is likely due to the water heater's high current draw causing a voltage drop, which can make finicky LED bulbs flicker. - Cindy from Ohio asked if she could paint her cedar shingle siding. We advised that painting is a permanent commitment and suggested a solid color stain as an alternative for adding color while still allowing the wood to be seen. - Patrilla from Louisiana inquired about installing new flooring over existing sheet linoleum in her kitchen. We shared that many new floating products can be installed directly over the existing floor, often with a thin underlayment. - James from Mississippi wanted to cut a hole in his deck for an inflatable pool on a slope. We discussed the importance of ensuring the deck's structural integrity by adjusting supports and addressing the ground's grading to create a flat base for the pool. - David emailed about wall cracks and nail pops appearing two years after his home inspection. We reassured him that these are typically normal cosmetic signs of house movement and offered simple DIY fixes like spackling and re-nailing.
