Q & A:
- Heated Floor: Jeanette has questions about the ease and expense of a DIY radiant heated floor. We suggest having it professionally installed and give tips on cutting costs.

- Flagpole: Linda gets advice on how to attach a flagpole bracket to a porch column by drilling pilot holes, using longer screws, and adding a wood block on the uneven surface.
- Deck Cleaning: How can you clean cooking oil stains off a Trex deck? If using a TSP paste doesn’t work, Mark can flip the board over to the clean side.
- Windows: Can casement windows be replaced with double-hung windows? It may be easier for Russ to install better-quality casement windows.
- Concrete Stains: Winston can’t remove the stains on his concrete garage floor. Applying epoxy floor paint is an attractive and durable way to cover the surface.
