SHOW NOTES: - Sealing Drafts: Tracking down and sealing drafts is the first step in keeping your home warm. - Stone Countertop Refinishing: Get the look of natural stone countertops with an easy and affordable weekend project. - Textured Surface Repairs: Fix textured walls and ceilings without the fuss and mess. Q & A: - Mailbox Stains: Those stains on Louise's brick mailbox are probably mineral deposits from water splashes. A vinegar solution will clean the surface easily. - Reversing a Door Swing: Scott wants to reverse the swing of a door that blocks the light switch, but it would be simpler to run the light switch to a different spot. - Sealing Windows: Linda is paying high energy bills but has limited options in her rental apartment. We recommend using shrink film or weatherstripping caulk on her windows. - Replacing HVAC System: Sal needs recommendations for replacing his HVAC unit. He should start by checking references of local contractors and seeking out good brands, energy efficiency ratings, and available rebates. - Uneven Subfloor: New flooring can't be installed over an uneven subfloor. Diane needs either a carpentry solution or a floor-leveling compound. - Toilet Water System: Darren has questions about converting his toilet to rain barrel water. We have answers about filtering, water pressure, and toilet efficiency. - Log Home Walls: There are cracks in the walls of Nina's log home. A wood filler could be colored or stained, but she's better off accepting the rustic log look. - Flooring Over Concrete: What kind of flooring should be installed over concrete? John's best options include laminate or engineered hardwood. ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question? We'd love to help!

Q & A: - Old Vinyl Windows: Natalie's vinyl windows won't stay open anymore. Unless she can find parts for the broken springs, it may be time to replace the windows. - Wood Fence Posts: Should Sam treat his cedar fence posts? The best way to prevent the wood from rotting is to add stone around the fence post base to allow drainage. - Soundproofing Walls: To muffle the sound from the neighbors next door, Donna gets tips on adding a second layer of noise-resistant drywall and sealing any openings. - Removing Paint from Brick: Arthur is worried about stripping paint from old brick. He can test the product he's using in an inconspicuous area to be sure it won't damage the brick surface. - Fruit Flies: Lorna thinks the fruit flies in her kitchen are coming from the garbage disposal. We suggest putting tape over the drain to see if they stick underneath, then using bleach to pour down the drain. - Crawlspace Moisture: Hezakaiah has a moisture problem coming from his crawlspace. We tell him how to lay down a vapor barrier and improve his outside drainage. - Siding Nail Rust: Will the galvanized nails stop rusting the siding if Laura paints over them? Unfortunately, she should really use stainless steel nails instead and the rust is hard to cover up. - Refinishing a Deck: Jim needs to refinish a wood deck that wasn't maintained. We recommend gentle pressure washing and using a paint sprayer to apply a solid stain. - Wood Countertops: Anne likes the look of wood countertops around her under-mount sink, but it's not the best material to use and there are better low-maintenance options.

And while they look great, they're not real wood and cannot be refinished.In other instances, you may have engineered wood floors instead of solid wood planks. Those CAN be refinished, but only a couple of times.Or maybe you've got wall to wall carpet and are trying to figure out if you have wood floors.Whatever your situation, in this segment, we'll help you figure out what you've got to work with and if it's a floor that can be refinished!

With automation technology gaining popularity, DeGeest is committed to staying relevant and competitive. Host of DeGeest's Manufacturing a Stronger Standard, Derek DeGeest, sat down with Brad Ruppert, DeGeest's applications specialist and engineering manager, to discuss the new robotic solution they created for the wheel refinishing industry.Ruppert, who just recently returned from a recent install, visits customers in person and performs the installation, software coding, and training. During the most recent training, Ruppert had the applicators run through installation for five different styles of rims for a total of 80 rims during an eight-hour session, beating their throughput on a normal day. This sort of hands-on, results-oriented training gives employees confidence in the tech and leaves them feeling extremely satisfied — and more importantly, “bought-in” — with the upgrades.The biggest difference in this product's development, when compared to others, is that DeGeest couldn't add the robot to the existing system due to the manual, laborious nature of the process. Instead, Ruppert detailed how the team tackled creating this customized system, which included: Learning the rim application processDetermining the amount of time it took to manually complete the serviceNoting the structural inhibitors of the buildingBuilding the robot system based on all of the above factorsFor this customer in particular, DeGeest was able to complete their planning process, build the robot, and train the staff within only five days. Now, the shop is running “199 rims in a 10-hour workday with two people.”In an industry that usually requires working through weekends and holidays, this type of technology is a game changer, improving the work environment in many ways, such as increased work-life balance, decreased turnover, and higher throughput.Interested in learning more?

Today is part two on cabinetry. We had 4 pages of questions from you guys and got tired the last episode and quit early, but today we wanted to try and be less wordy with these ones and get through them all as best we can. We talked about a whole plethora of things, such as what tones have become more popular, or what styles will stand the test of time, to which we answered that it depends on you. Know who you are and style so that things represent who you are.

You'll usually have another sink back there, you'll have these spots.” 23:03https://www.instagram.com/alicelaneinteriors/https://www.instagram.com/alicelanehome/https://alicelanehome.com/https://www.facebook.com/AliceLaneHomehttps://www.pinterest.com/alicelanehome/https://www.youtube.com/alicelanehomecollectionsaltlakecityNews Letter:https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=HZENWY&g=PFcqV5
