The key tenet of what makes a house a home is design — it matters most!  Today’s first caller has a hardwood floor that she apparently needs to oil every year. But she wants to know if there’s a product she can use so she doesn’t have to do that task annually.   Next up, our caller wants to seismically retrofit his 1325-square-foot home that was built in 1954 by bolting the foundation to the house — but he’s been quoted nearly $80K!  Lastly this hour, does Dean believe a ’70s-built home requires a home warranty plan? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Snakes up your pipeline! At the top of our next hour, a homeowner’s plumbing contractor tried to clean her clogged laundry line and the clog turned out to be much murkier than they realized.  Our next listener is redoing his kitchen with quartzite countertops and has questions regarding undercounter or under-slab lighting.  Is a skim coat a good idea instead o painting when you want to zhuzh up your exterior stucco? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
