#2353 – Yard Goals: Favorite Fall Outdoor Projects | Best and Worst Door Locks | DIY Marble Surfaces - a podcast by Tom Kraeutler & Leslie Segrete

SHOW NOTES:- Outdoor Projects for Fall: Autumn is the season to fall in love with some favorite outdoor projects for your home.
- Door Locks: Home security starts with strong door locks. Find out the best and worst locks for preventing break-ins.- Marble Surfaces: A new DIY product creates beautiful marble surfaces without the expense.
 Q&A:
- Supplemental HVAC: Cathedral ceilings make it hard to cool the house evenly. Ed may add a split ductless system to supplement the central air conditioning.- Caulking Siding: Does Mary need to caulk concrete siding attached to plywood walls? She may only need adhesive, but she can use caulk to touch up any areas where nails break through the painted surface.
- Window Leak: Water is leaking into the bay window beneath a skylight. Adam gets tips on sealing gaps with caulk and diverting water from the roof.- Concrete Curb Cracks: Susan’s concrete curb is cracking and sloping downward. She’ll either need to rebuild it or use DIY products to repair and resurface the concrete.
- Finishing a Dirt Floor: Rob wants to pour concrete over a dirt floor in his hut. It should be easy to tamp down the dirt, then spread and float the concrete smoothly.- Attic Ventilation: How much attic ventilation is needed? Dale only has about half of the recommended amount and adding soffit vents would be most efficient.
- Backsplash Adhesive: Audrey gets information about an adhesive backing product for installing a tile backsplash.- Window Condensation: Too much condensation on Steve’s vinyl replacement windows is caused by deficient glass or frames. It’s worth contacting the manufacturer and the installer.
