Cork Flooring | Mt. Washington | Wet Basements
No wonder you're standing next to Don, Debbi, Preston, Antoinette, Dana, Cheryl, and about 50 other new subscribers who've joined the party since last Sunday. Welcome!
How about you, though? You may have been getting my missives for so long that you clearly remember my early thespian days of being the home improvement expert for the ABC-TV affiliate WCPO Channel 9 in Cincinnati, Oh. My boss told me to "...have fun and make the segments entertaining."
CLICK or TAP HERE and tell me if I did just that in this 20-year-old video! "...looks like he hit the wrong nail." Yep, that what the woman anchor said after the segment appeared on live TV in Cincinnati!
If you're reading this during the day on Sunday in the USA, I'm still on Mt. Washington. I arrived at the base on Thursday to help with radio communications for the historic Mt. Washington Hillclimb. It's also known as the Climb to the Clouds.
CLICK or TAP HERE to understand WHY radio operators are needed. The road is about 7.5 miles long and Travis made the trip in under 6 minutes four years ago. WOWZA!
I'll be getting back home Sunday night around 7 pm Eastern Time. Yes, I'll be beat!

Best Way to Patch Concrete
Look at this pathetic attempt to patch concrete:
You can see it crumbling and it's less than a year old! What's more, the patch makes a hump in the otherwise smooth handicap ramp.
How to Clean ANY House Siding
Do you have mildew, algae or ??? stains on your house siding?
