Home automation allows you to control and monitor your home from your smartphone.   This is totally awesome.   Have you ever left home and forgot to turn off the lights or garage door? Well, now you can turn off lights, close doors, or open doors, monitor moisture and more with sensors that communicate with your phone.   SmartThings is one brand of home automation that I recently reviewed on Home Repair Tutor.   They were kind enough to send the SmartThings Smarter Home Starter Kit which comes with 6 different Things or devices   -Hub -SmartPower Outlet -SmartSense Motion Sensor -SmartSense Open/Closed Sensors x 2 -SmartSense Presence Sensor   WIFI, internet, and a smartphone are all you need to use this system.   The Hub needs to be hooked up to the WIFI router and plugged into a wall outlet. It’s super easy to setup, seriously, I’m no tech nerd and did it in 5 minutes.   The outlet and motion sensor allow you to control lights, fans, and AC units with your phone. But what I like best is the ability to program actions or Uses. You can have these the lights turn on in the morning when you enter the room or the coffee start brewing when you open the door to the kitchen cabinet.    Yep, way cool.   Open/Closed sensors can serve as a home security system and the best part is there’s NO MONTHLY FEE.    Sweet.   You can check out the SmartThings home automation system on their website   http://www.smartthings.com/   It could be a great solution for you home needs.

Submit it by…   Calling me at 800-965-0023   Visiting http://www.homerepairtutor.com/podcast/ and use the SpeakPipe recorder   Or signing up to my email newsletter and responding back to me       Does your bathroom need help?

Do you know how elongate the life span of a hot water tank?   Check on the anode rod. What the heck is an anode rod? It’s inside your hot water tank and is sacrificed instead of the tank itself. Once the anode is shot that’s when the water starts to eat the tank.   Rheem recommends inspecting the anode once a year and has specific instructions on how to know when it needs to be replaced.   Here are the resources I mention    http://www.wh2only.com/assets/pdf/Rheem_Training_Manual.pdf   http://www.rheem.com/docs/FetchDocument.aspx?ID=aedbbc95-9a6b-4780-aa23-b0ed9abe41cd   Many thanks to Steve who forwarded these links.

233: How Can You Fix Low Water Pressure

Learning how to fix copper pinhole leaks can save you thousands of dollars.   Yep, I’m talking from experience. I’ve experienced 4 different copper pinhole leaks in our home and have learned that it’s good to know about soldering and one little product called Fix-It Stick by Oatey.   The Fix-It Stick is an epoxy putty that you can use to temporarily seal copper pinhole leaks. It creates a watertight seal. All you have to do is mix it then shape it around the copper pipe leak. This in turn allows you to permanently fix the pipe by soldering in a new piece or call a plumber.    You can learn how to solder copper pipes by checking out this tutorial    http://www.homerepairtutor.com/how-to-solder-copper-pipe/   Definitely have a Fix-It Stick in your tool box!!! You never know when you copper pipes will leak or spring a pinhole. It costs $5-$10 and can be found at home stores or bought on Amazon.   Check out my tutorial on how to use it over on Home Repair Tutor   http://www.homerepairtutor.com/     Today’s Quick Tip is about baseboard molding. If you want a professional looking DIY job you need to learn how to cope out corners. Typically corners meet at 45 degree angles. Instead of making both corners 45 degrees you should cope one corner and make the other 90 degrees. Yes, this is hard to explain verbally or in written form and that’s why I recommend you watch these videos   https://youtu.be/PQsPwY-eoFI by See Jane Drill   https://youtu.be/yK1BwyfFIGc by Shane Conlan   Both Jane and Shane are great DIY teachers.

049: How to Fix Copper Pinhole Leaks and Baseboard Molding Tips

Greasy kitchen cabinets are disgusting and hard to clean. What is a good solution for this problem, besides water and vinegar. Sometimes I get my best ideas walking through the automotive department in stores. This is where I found Super Clean. It’s remarkable at removing grease.   Check out my tutorial http://www.homerepairtutor.com/how-to-clean-a-greasy-kitchen-hood/   It’s easy to use but I do recommend testing it on a small area before using it on the entire surface.   Denise also had a question about cleaning her wood floors. Recently I’ve had good luck with Bona products https://www.bona.com/en-US/   But again, I recommend testing any cleaning product.     Today’s Quick Tip is about SPAX screws.  I’m constructing a bathroom mockup in my garage and had to build out stud walls. Since I wanted a modular design I decided to use SPAX screws instead of nails. They don’t require pre-drilling, are easy to drive into wood, and countersink perfectly.    Check them out here http://www.spax.us/       Do you have a DIY question?

038: Rogue Engineer's X Brace Side Table with Concrete Top

Taping and finishing drywall corners is an art.   Today’s lesson discusses how to make the corners look awesome with a few different tips.   First you’ll have to choose which type of joint compound you want.   Pre-mixed and setting-type joint compound are two common options.   Pre-mixed mud takes a bit longer to setup.    Setting-type joint compound comes in 20 minute, 45 minute, and 90 minute varieties.   This means the mud will setup in about 20, 45, or 90 minutes.   The key to getting great drywall corners is to stagger the mudding process.   Listen to the podcast for all the tips :D       Don’t forget…you can join our free Home Repair Tutor Facebook Group if you’re a do-it-yourselfer   https://www.facebook.com/groups/hrtcommunity/           HELP US SPREAD THE WORD!
