Either Spring is in the air, or folks are getting stir crazy and want to get out of the house, because we were inundated this week with questions about the roof. As much as I’d love it to be Spring, I feel certain the latter explanation is the correct one.
We also dealt with some solutions to jazz up a bland, boring concrete patio. You’ve got a ton of great options, including adding a brick perimeter, staining, painting, and even cutting score joints to create a pattern. As I promised, here’s a look at what Danny did to the plain slab behind our corporate office.
And, here are a few more topics from this week’s show:
