Hi, and welcome to my newsletter family! Can you open doors with just a smile or do you have to use your arms as I do? I like to listen to music while I create the newsletter. Do you know what I’m listening to now? Care to make a guess?
If you’ve been here for many moons, did you know I own a 12-string Gibson acoustic guitar? After handing over the hard-earned cash to the salesman at Ray Lammers, a music store in Cincinnati, I carried it a few blocks to the bus stop, jumped on either the 61 or the 17 bus, and took this beauty home to admire it. I used to play it fairly well. Now it’s time to dust it off and learn how to pick it. Check out the date on the receipt! That's a 6 in front of the 7!
FREE Over-the-Phone Help
This past Friday, I helped Jan with her leaky patio enclosure roof. CLICK or TAP HERE to listen to that short call. I shared a tip on how she could save $2,000 or $3,000. She was pretty happy as you might imagine. Here's her roof. Can you see where it's leaking?
Yesterday, I jumped on a call with Eric. He wants to convert unused attic space to an in-home storage facility. However, he’s got electric cables draped on top of the ceiling joists.
I came up with a clever way to solve that conundrum, keeping in mind that safety is paramount. CLICK or TAP HERE to see if you agree with what I suggested Eric undertake.
I also chatted with Bill. He wants to create a bathroom in his basement. I’ve been a master plumber since age 29, so I was able to give him advice that will save him at least $3,000, probably more.
We talked all about the importance of venting. You don’t want to miss this podcast! CLICK or TAP HERE to discover something about plumbing you probably didn’t know.
How would you like to save thousands of dollars? If you don’t have a money tree in your yard where you can just go out and pluck Ben Franklins, then I CAN HELP!
CLICK or TAP HERE if you want me to call you. The call is FREE but the money-saving advice could be priceless!
Water Leaks Into Basement or Crawlspace
Do you have chronic leaks in your basement or crawlspace? Spring is the time of year many have this issue with seasonal snowmelt and spring showers.
I majored in geology in college and had a particular interest in hydrogeology. That’s the study of groundwater.
Think about how a gutter on the bottom of a roof works. It captures moving water and redirects it to another location.
Water moves sideways through almost all soil. CLICK or TAP HERE to see how I’ve transformed thousands of wet basements into miniature dioramas of the Atacama Desert.
Secrets of Old - Grouting Floor Tile
Have you ever been in an old church or some other old building that has floor tile? Here’s a photo of the tile floor in St. Joseph's Church in Laconia, New Hampshire. This tile and grout are over 100 years old.
What did the tile setters do to make the grout last for 100 years without crumbling or cracking?
I happen to know and created a few videos to demonstrate just how you can do it. CLICK or TAP HERE and be prepared to be amazed. You’re going to be SHOCKED by how simple it is.
I’d say that’s enough for a Sunday. What say you?
Is there a topic you’d like me to cover? REPLY to this newsletter and share your thoughts. I’d love to hear from you.
