Dean talks all things pools and spas.  It's summertime and it's going to be hot this year, so you want your pools and spa to be in tip top shape.  Dean talks about designing the perfect pool and spa and how to properly maintain them.   Dean also fielded calls from listeners regarding a 'living pool eco-system,' a water leak in a home originating from the roof, how to find a pinhole leak in a pipe, how to remedy seeing particles in the hot water, is it flaking from the plumbing and what to look for when an inspector comes out to inspect a home you're thinking about purchasing See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dean continues his series on design and landscaping for the outdoor areas of your home. Simple ideas to take your outdoor area from ordinary to extraordinary.   Dean also tackles questions from listeners regarding: whether replastering walls is something you can DIY myself or should you hire a professional, whether to replace a window or indoor paneling first after water damage, is there an asbestos worry in removing tile from a closet in a home that was built in 1969, slide on wire shades vs pergola covers, what option is better, replacing a wood patio cover with an aluminum one and how to fix a loud air conditioning unit See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What’s Dean’s reading recommendation for this Memorial Day weekend? “Shop Class as Soulcraft” by Matthew Crawford is a real page turner!  When it comes to installing skylights that open for air ventilation, what’s the best way to go about this on the second story of a mountain cabin?  Replacing windows is never wonderful, so let's help out our next caller in deciding what frame material to go with on her very large windows.  To more on windows, our final caller’s windows aren’t soundproof, and outside noise from heat pumps is very disruptive. President Dean to the rescue! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
