Stop Killing Your Plants + Carl Radke’s Story of Home + Flooring Mistakes to Avoid

If your houseplants keep dying, it might not be your fault, it might be your approach. The duo behind Tanner the Planter share simple, practical ways to actually keep your plants alive, from choosing the right plant for your space to knowing when (and when not) to water. Then, Bravo’s Carl Radke takes us back to the small Pittsburgh home that shaped his childhood—filled with both warmth and hardship—and reflects on how that space still defines his idea of home today. Plus, A flooring expert breaks down the real differences between hardwood, laminate, and LVP, and how to decide whether to repair or replace when damage starts to show. In This Episode You’ll Learn: * Whether to use spray foam insulation in a cold, old farmhouse basement (and concerns about future renovations, safety, and off-gassing). * How to handle stone steps and a walkway that have become embedded in a growing tree without damaging it. * The correct step-by-step order for renovating a basement bathroom from scratch. * Diagnosing a mysterious intermittent scratching noise coming from a cold air return vent. All of this, plus we’re answering your home improvement questions at 877-This Old House Radio Hour! — That’s (877) 864-7460.

SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse. Upstairs, host Kevin O'Connor meets plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey in the kids' bath to see the water-saving plumbing fixtures, and a bath fan that will turn on automatically when it senses humidity in the room. Interior designer Melissa Gulley shows Kevin how a small custom rug factory in Fall River, Massachusetts, is making the carpets for the house using both old- and new-world technology. Out front, landscape contractor Roger Cook shows master carpenter Norm Abram the hops vines that will be planted to grow on the pergola in the spring. Architect Chris Chu is on hand to review the overall effect of the changes to the front of the house and general contractor Tom Silva shows Norm the new composite shutters that add low-maintenance character to the front of the house. Inside, kitchen designer Donna Venegas shows Kevin the finished kitchen and the appliances that she specified, and then kitchen consultant Chris Kimball drops by to give Kevin his final thoughts on the space. Melissa shows Norm the challenges of furnishing an open floor plan on the main level, while upstairs, it is a master bedroom retreat, where homeowner Allison Sharma joins to reveal the master bedroom and luxurious bathroom.

LVP to Carpet Transition the RIGHT Way

If you found this video helpful, please subscribe. Hope you enjoy. Cheers! 👇🏼 PRODUCTS IN THIS VIDEO👇🏼 DMX Underlayment - https://shoplowes.me/47WikTB CALI Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring - https://shoplowes.me/3OhLje0 OLFA Knife - https://shoplowes.me/4mqyc6K Jobber: The best home service software for small business owners – Sign up for a free 14-Day Trial + Exclusive Discount 👉🏼https://go.getjobber.com/homerenovisiondiy-youtube Installing a transition strip between luxury vinyl plank flooring and carpet is one of those small details that makes a big difference in how the finished job looks. In this video, I walk you through the right way to install a clean, secure transition strip when your LVP and carpet are sitting at similar heights. You’ll learn how to: Properly prep the doorway, including undercutting the door jamb and trimming carpet and underlay Use shims to dial in the correct height for a flush transition Position the transition strip so it properly engages with the flooring system Secure everything in place for a long-lasting, gap-free finish Install and snap in the transition piece for a clean, professional look This method ensures your transition strip sits tight, lines up perfectly, and allows proper door clearance, without guesswork. This is the method I use on site to make sure the transition sits flush, holds up over time, and allows proper door clearance without any guesswork. If you’re installing vinyl plank flooring next to carpet, this is the step that separates a basic DIY job from a clean, contractor-level result.

How to Run Electrical Power to a Shed | Ask This Old House

In this video, Master electrician Heath Eastman helps a homeowner run underground electrical power from his home to his new shed. SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse. Adding power to a shed transforms it from simple storage into a functional workspace. With electricity, you can add lighting, outlets for power tools, and even heating and cooling. But running power to a detached structure involves trenching, underground conduit, grounding, and installing a subpanel. From determining how many volts and amps fit your needs to whether the existing electrical service can provide them to digging a code-compliant trench for conduit, powering an outbuilding is typically best handled by a licensed electrician.

Host Kevin O'Connor arrives to find the wood island top being installed, and fabricator Paul Grothouse is on hand to show how he achieved the distressed finish. General contractor Tom Silva installs the "his and hers" closet systems that were designed online by interior designer Melissa Gulley and picked up at the local home center.

Plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey shows Kevin the high-efficiency two-stage air conditioning system, and an equally efficient system for heat and hot water thanks to a condensing boiler and an indirect hot water tank. Countertop contractor Danny Puccio installs the kitchen window stool his shop made out of marble, as well as the "leathered" granite countertops, a look that's achieved by using metal brushes rather than diamond polishing pads. Tom installs the exterior hardware and shows how the new "smart lock" can be re-keyed anytime without the help of a locksmith. Landscape designer Jenn Nawada Evans oversees the planting of the neighborhood trees in the community island, and the sod going down on the project, which is just about finished.

Instead of fighting the slope, Jenn Nawada’s approach focuses on working with it—softening the grade, improving drainage, and using plants that help stabilize the soil.

Install Top-Down Bottom-Up Shades | Ask This Old House
