Q & A:
GFCI Outlets: Pat is concerned about not having GFCI outlets on the kitchen counter. We explain how they work and why they’re important in wet areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
Deck Stain: Jeanie doesn’t want to reapply deck stain every year. We recommend prepping the surface well and using an oil-based solid color stain that will last longer.
Flooring: Moisture is coming up from the concrete slab under the carpet and linoleum. Russell gets tips for improving the outside drainage and installing new vinyl flooring.
Refinishing Furniture: What’s the best way to refinish oak furniture? It’s a lot of work and Ruth may want to consider having a professional strip off the stain and refinish the wood surface.
