In the next hour, our first caller has questions regarding the input on the floor in an upstairs room and whether it's structurally sound to handle a 2000-pound safe. If you can't do fragrance for whatever reason, Dean knows just the timber finish to use in your home so you won’t upset your schnoz. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today’s first caller had a representative from NuLux come do a consult at her condo, so she wanted designer Dean's expert opinion on the grout-free tile materials the company uses in bathrooms. Our next caller is having a plumbing issue; she had a cartridge replaced in her shower and now is getting only warm water there, likely due to a crossover according to several plumbers she’s spoken to. What’s up with that? Next up, a caller was wondering about installing a graywater system so she could water her garden using the water from her washing machine and dishwasher.

No flowers in your home means we love you! Dean believes your home should be a thing of beauty every day of the year, not just on Valentine’s Day. Today’s first caller is having a house presently being built and the builder wants to apply just one coat of paint behind the bathroom mirrors, tub and toilet. Is that normal, or should there be a second coat applied? Is your roof leaking? Looks like it is for our next caller, and they’re wondering what they can do to plug that hole, especially now that the rains are returning to SoCal. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cement flooring got you in a puddle? How do you fill in those pools created on the uneven flooring and level it all out? Does true, ultimate flatness even exist, or do you need a slight slant? When it comes to your whole-house water system, is there one that also includes a water softener? Our next caller has an issue with the appearance of her repaved driveway. One half looks good, but the other half looks blotchy, like it’s still drying. The contractor doesn’t think it’s a problem, but the caller isn’t so sure. Today’s final caller needs to replace the flooring in her basement. They’re stick-on laminate tiles that date to the early 1970s. Can new tiles be placed over the old ones or does the original flooring need to be ripped out entirely? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on the all-calls Saturday, Dean’s first caller bought his first home and is wondering what the first thing is he should do to make improvements. Is there an organization in LA that serves low-income people or seniors who need home repairs like plumbing? Our next caller wants to know! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our next caller needs to replace the fume hood over her gas range in her kitchen and is after Dean’s expert recommendations. Cracks in your concrete driveway? Let's talk about inexpensive alternatives for repairs that don’t mean replacing the entire thing. Plus, what’s the best way to make your stairs safe if you’re installing luxury vinyl flooring? When one is building or redoing their outdoor patio flooring, what must they take into consideration when deciding on timber, products, color, etc.?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Another caller has a double-wide mobile home from the 1970s with a metal roof that’s leaking over his car port, and he’s wondering how best to seal up that roof leak. Listener Cindy wants Dean’s recommendations on the right mixture for alleviating mold in the tile grout. Dean says mold is kind of a wimp!
