    Take the Edge Off — Tempered Glass Really is That Tough!

    Life in a cottage is great, especially when you tailor it to your life!  Today’s first caller had a bit of bathroom bad luck: His suspended tempered-glass shower door literally exploded into fine pieces, and now they have to repair and replace it — how would he go about that, and should he apply a safety film to the new glass door?  Next up, our listener has new kitchen cabinets with a trim color she doesn’t like, and that doesn’t match the cabinets. How best to remove the laminate trim and replace it? Or better yet, should she punt this one back to her lying contractor?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The Roof! The Roof! The Roof is All Moldy!

    Our caller at the top of Hour 2 has a low-pitched rock roof on her 1950s-built house that has never been replaced or redone, and now they’ve found mold up there! How serious could it be and what's the treatment to repair it?  Next up, a listener needs to know if she can place epoxy or acrylic over a heating element for a radiant-heat floor.  Morris has an old house built in 1951 that suddenly has plumbing issues, particularly a leaky kitchen faucet. Apparently, the anchor valve is frozen, so how would he go about fixing all these issues?  If the final caller were to install carpet as a stair runner, does it have to have a finished edge, and does it have to be a certain kind of tack board?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    10 Steps to Finding the Right Contractor | Hour 1

    Dean shares his ten-step playbook for finding the right contractor, stressing that it’s your responsibility to choose the person who will get the job done. He calls out a common “culture hole” — we rush into projects without considering design — and explains how to vet three or more qualified prospects.
