Today on another beautiful all-calls Saturday, Dean’s first caller has solar power paneling, which she owns rather than leases, installed on her home, and it isn’t producing energy as it’s meant to, even though it’s only two years old. Our next caller is re-piping her house for a remodel and needs advice on copper piping vs PEX piping, otherwise known as cross-linked polyethylene? Got a funny egg smell to your water source? Our next caller does. He has a well on his property that emanates a sulfur smell and taste. He’s wondering if there is a water system that can fix this. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Meanwhile, over in Burbank, a caller wants to put in a door that leads from his living room to his garage conversion and needs Dean’s expert design advice on placement and construction. A caller in Texas lives in a house that's just three years old, but the furnace has fungus! What can he do to remedy that? To more on copper pipes, one listener is wondering how a soft-water system can impact copper piping? When doing a bathroom remodel, is there such a thing as cabinets that aren't MDF but also not expensive, custom-made cabinetry? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As half the U.S. freezes over with a diagonal storm swiping across the country causing a state of emergency in 16 states, Dean is grateful we live in sunny Southern California where icy weather rarely touches us. Today’s first caller has a question about Dean’s recommendations regarding the self-sealing vapor barrier that replaces traditional roofing paper. Our next caller has a beautiful timber fireplace mantle that gets so hot to the touch that it melts the ornaments and evaporates the plant water. What can DeeDee do about it? A listener from Northern California has tall grass growing in her roof shingles — what’s up with that? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Following all this marimba and xylophone chitchat, Dean heads back to the phone lines. In the second hour, the first caller had safety concerns following last year’s big wildfires that devastated parts of SoCal. To that end, he’s been researching fire prevention devices for homes and is wondering if there’s a trade show that will offer all these tools and devices in one place? Spoiler: What rhymes with Shmas Shmegas? Next up, a long-time listener wanted Dean’s tips on Daikin cooling and heating systems that are placed on the wall of her Oregon vacation home. To more cooling questions! One caller was wondering if closing air conditioning vents in rooms that aren't being used will affect the airflow in other rooms, or the energy costs. Lastly, what to do if your old garage floor gets wet when it rains and you can’t find the source? Detective Dean may have the answer. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Solar power? So many questions that Dean is ready to answer! Spoiler alert: Dean is a fan of solar energy, especially here in California, where it will still save you money. What can Dean tell us about acrylic stucco finishes? Turns out, a lot! The last caller has a dark corner in his bedroom and he is trying to figure how to bring in the daylight using LED lighting. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dean’s first caller is having hot-water troubles in her kitchen and needs to know what is necessary to get hot water to her sink, like, yesterday! The next caller is in his brand-new house. It sits on poured concrete slabs that are reinforced with metal bars, and there is a sign placed near the slabs by the builders that says “do not drill” — what does that mean?

It’s a sleepy Saturday following a torrential rainstorm all the way through Christmas week. And here in SoCal the rain has passed — for now. Do you have a leak? Today’s first caller lives in a house built in 1935; it’s a Monterey colonial with a California basement, which means just enough space to service the gravity furnace. It doesn't have a sump pump installed, and when it rains, he gets about 2 inches of rain down there. He’s wondering if he should be concerned about the lack of a sump pump following the recent rains. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Whether built in the 1830s or 1930s, Dean is a massive fan of California design style, including the beautiful Adobe homes.

Today is screen legend Dick Van Dyke’s 100th birthday! On the show today, our first caller has installed a large, horizontal, natural gas fireplace, replacing a wood-burning firebox. The area directly above the fireplace gets extremely hot, up to 230 degrees, is that excessive? The next caller had to change out her kitchen stove, but the hardwiring was an issue; she’s wondering if she can use a standard power hookup with her replacement unit. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Another caller has a beautiful, old level made from solid wood and brass with a glass top, but the company that manufactured it no longer exists. Is there a company that repairs antique tools? What about baseboards and Dean’s 7% rule? This caller has 8-foot and 15-foot ceilings in his house, and he’s wondering about baseboard height when you have different vaulted ceiling heights throughout the home — do you change the baseboard height depending on roof height? One of our regular callers has a palmetto riviera stone brickhouse with concrete siding panels that need painting, and he’s wondering about Dean's opinion on color. He’s thinking black! Joyce has a home built in 1988 with a pinhole in her hot-water copper pipe under the slab in her utility room that’s presently being dried using professional equipment. Does she re-pipe the whole house or reroute the one pipe? She does live near the ocean, does that add to the issue? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
