Dean Doesn't Talk to Houses Like That Guy in Britain, But He Does Whisper to and Coax Them!

Some people prefer to live in a sterile environment. But Dean says life doesn’t thrive in that state.  Today’s first caller is adding 500 square feet to his property in Whittier, which is one of LA’s older cities. The City is coming out to check out his sewer line, and he’s concerned about what they are looking for and how much it will cost him.   The next caller lives in a cabin in the woods and wants to turn it into an off-grid house. He wants to know if a power-flush or power-assisted toilet is the best option.  A Connecticut caller had a spring snap on his garage door — is that a DIY repair or is it too dangerous to do by himself?   See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Biophilic Design is the New Way to Nest Your Best!

At the top of the second hour, a caller up in Northern California is having issues with the siding on his home that needs to be replaced, but he’s unsure what the present material is.  The next listener lives in an apartment building with an HOA, and there is major bubbling in his paint work on the building exterior, and not just around the windows.  Air conditioning not all it’s cracked up to be? Our next caller wants to know if he should invest in a split unit to effectively cool his upstairs and downstairs without breaking the electricity bank.  Today’s last caller lives in an uninsuation 1920 bungalo that has curved ceilings, flat roof and a narrow attic. How would insulation work in this space when it’s needed due to how much the home heats up?  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
