Use a Rubber Band and Soak it in Vinegar? What Possibly Could Dean Be On About!
Home with Dean Sharp Hour 2 (08/08) - At the top of the second hour, our first caller’s wife bought inexpensive bathroom fixtures like faucets from Amazon, and after several years they have calcium and mineral deposits building up on them. What is the best way to clean these items?  Our next caller is repainting her window sills, and needs to know if it’s better to use oil-based paint or a latex paint?  Dean’s final caller had a bad, noncompliant repair job done to his cantilevered balcony and is wondering how best to redress that bad repair job.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Roof! The Roof! The Roof is Not on Fire, but It Does Need Replacing
Home with Dean Sharp Hour 2 (08/01) - At the top of the second hour, Dean’s first caller has a roof that is 35 years old, but when it was installed, it was guaranteed for 50 years yet now it needs replacing.  Dean’s next caller is reroofing his house and is considering taking off the fascia, or roof edge, and just having exposed rafters. Can this be done?  Removed popcorn acoustic effect from ceiling, so now is it necessary to put compound and primer or should she just repaint?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
