# The Home Improvement Hour with Gary Sullivan
Are you ready to tackle those post-holiday home projects? In this engaging hour, Gary Sullivan shares practical advice for maintaining your home during winter months and planning your next renovation projects. From managing indoor humidity to refreshing tired bathrooms without breaking the bank, Gary offers solutions that work for any budget.
The hour opens with Gary explaining how to address window condensation during winter - a sign your home's humidity level is too high. He recommends reducing indoor humidity to about 35% and using bathroom and kitchen fans properly to prevent moisture problems that can lead to mold and damage to plaster walls.
Gary dives into kitchen and bathroom refreshes that don't require complete remodels. He discusses options like cleaning and sealing grout, using products like Roller Rock and Spreadstone to transform dated ceramic tile, and even shares a clever tip about using a Dremel tool to refresh dirty grout lines.
Throughout the show, Gary takes calls from listeners facing common home challenges:
- 12:30 - Lee asks about using coating products on an old coal room foundation
- 23:45 - Jim inquires about Roof Max treatments and compatibility with skylights and gutter guards
- 27:15 - Bridget seeks solutions for a non-standard refrigerator and painting aluminum patio doors
Key takeaways:
• Monitor indoor humidity levels during winter to prevent condensation and mold issues
• Consider coating products like Dice Coatings for affordable bathroom and kitchen updates
• Clean and seal grout to maintain tile floors and prevent staining
• Explore alternatives to full remodels when working with budget constraints
• Maintain your furnace filter regularly, especially during busy holiday seasons
Whether you're looking to tackle post-holiday repairs or planning bigger projects for the new year, Gary's practical advice will help you make smart decisions that protect your home and your wallet.
